27Beat everyone upAI Model: gemini-3.0-flashChapter 27: Beating Everyone Up
Uzumaki... Naruto?
The moment she caught sight of the Blond-haired Youth, Tayuya recognized his identity.
Uchiha Sasuke's teammate, the final member of Team 7.
It was him who heavily injured Dosu and Zakuyesterday.
"Hmph, just putting on an act!"
At this moment, Tayuya, who had already entered the second stage of the Cursed Seal, couldn't help but feel irritated seeing the other party's attitude of completely disregarding her.
A mere Konoha Genin.
Just because he defeated two pieces of trash, did he really think he could contend with an Otogakureelite like her?
A brat who doesn't know the heights of the heavens!
Tayuya's Chakra surged violently, and the power of Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains was further enhanced.
"Kneel before me!"
However, to her surprise...
The Blond-haired Youth before her merely lifted his eyelids, seemingly completely unaffected.
"Oh? Make me kneel?"
In the next second, eerie black patterns spread from his neck like venomous snakes!
"Th-this is..."
Instantly, Tayuya's Aura was overwhelmed by an even gloomier, more terrifying, and powerful pressure.
The black patterns rapidly covered half of Uzumaki Naruto's body and face.
His eyes turned into strange yellow vertical pupils, and his expression became cold and distorted.
Cursed Seal of Heaven!
Tayuya's eyes widened abruptly.
She was both familiar and unfamiliar with this power.
Compared to the Cursed Seal of Earth on her body, the power of the Cursed Seal of Heaven was far purer.
Even if the opponent had only entered the first stage, he was far beyond what she, who was currently maintaining the second stage, could match.
"W-wait! You're also one of Lord Orochimaru's subordinates, right?! We are—"
Before Tayuya could finish her sentence, the Blond-haired Youth's figure had already vanished from before her eyes.
"Orochimaru? What kind of piece of shit is that?"
A cold voice exploded behind her.
In the next instant, a palm covered in black cursed markings had already seized her hair.
Bang!!
No fancy tricks, no hesitation.
Naruto directly grabbed the back of her head and slammed it into the ground.
The earth cracked, and debris flew everywhere.
Tayuya didn't even have time to let out a scream.
Blood mixed with mud poured into her throat, and in her consciousness, only darkness and agonizing pain remained.
Naruto slowly let go, allowing Tayuya to slump in the crater, twitching like a broken doll.
[Ding!]
[Detected host brutally beating a tragic Otogakure orphan girl, evil points +40!]
"Sigh..."
At home.
Naruto let out a sigh.
For the Sound Four, who only had the strength of elite Chunin, his Cursed Seal Shadow Clone was still too overpowered.
Had I known, there would have been no need to spend so much effort creating a Cursed Seal Shadow Clone with a one-in-ten success rate.
Sending a regular Shadow Clone would have been enough.
At the same time, several more cold mechanical prompts sounded.
[Ding!]
[Detected host brutally beating a tragic Otogakure orphan boy, evil points +40!]
[Ding!]
[Detected host brutally beating a tragic Otogakure orphan girl, evil points +20!]
It seemed the other two Sound Ninjas, Jirobo and Kin, had also been dealt with.
Naruto formed a hand seal with one hand.
On the battlefield, the three Shadow Clones were subsequently released.
At the same time, the natural energy absorbed by the Shadow Clones after activating the Cursed Seal returned to the main body.
Naruto quickly focused his mind, striving to suppress the urge to go berserk.
Soon, he regained his composure.
Unfortunately, this returned natural energy couldn't be used to cast Shadow Clone and Cursed Seal Technique.
Additionally, the duration of the Shadow Clones was also limited.
Otherwise, if he could cycle it like that, he might be able to create six hundred billion Cursed Seal Shadow Clones and directly trample the Ninja World.
"Alright... let's continue."
Poof, poof, poof!
Several more Shadow Clones were summoned.
In the next second, they returned to the battlefield via the Flying Thunder God Marks already placed in various locations.
Naruto didn't choose to finish off these fallen Sound Ninjas.
Jirobo and Tayuya still had important roles to play in Orochimaru's plan.
Even Kin would become a sacrifice for the Edo Tensei to summon the First and Second Hokage, continuing to contribute her value.
Leaving them alive now was also because he didn't want to change the original plot's progression too early.
As for the other Konoha 11... the evil tax would also have to be collected.
However, he could be slightly gentler when dealing with them compared to the Sound Ninjas.
What could he do? He was just too kind.
All the Shadow Clones simultaneously received the same instruction in their minds:
The males—beat them all up;
The females... beat them up too.
Except for Hinata, he really didn't have much affection for these people.
The Shadow Clones scattered.
With Tayuya's fall, the sound of the flute also came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone seemed to wake from a dream, regaining control over their bodies, though the Chakra flow within them remained in complete disarray.
"Just now... what exactly happened?"
Neji's vision was completely shrouded by smoke.
Even with the Byakugan activated, he could only see a blurry Chakra silhouette not far away.
Was it that Sand Ninja from just now?
"Wait, have I really escaped the Genjutsu now?"
"Or is this... just a trap?"
Neji didn't dare to be careless.
Just as he was about to rendezvous with Lee and Tenten first, someone suddenly rushed through the smoke toward him.
As the distance closed, he saw the figure clearly.
"Uzumaki... Naruto?! You bastard!"
The scenes from yesterday were still vivid in his mind.
The anger in Neji's heart was instantly ignited, remembering his purpose for coming here.
Without thinking too much, he thrust both hands forward.
Eight Trigrams: Air Palm!
A vacuum air cannon shot toward the Blond-haired Youth.
However, to his surprise...
The Blond-haired Youth simply sidestepped with ease, and the Air Palm, accompanied by a whistling wind, grazed his clothes and missed entirely.
Neji didn't have time to make any reaction, only feeling a blur before his eyes.
The next second—
Bang!
The Blond-haired Youth's fist landed heavily on his face.
The sharp pain from his nose bridge almost made Neji lose consciousness on the spot.
Impossible!
Without relying on the Nine-Tailed's power, how could this Dead Last be my match?
This must be a Genjutsu!
Neji formed a hand seal and shouted heart-wrenchingly:
"Release!!"
However, the Blond-haired Youth before him did not disappear.
What responded to him was the other's gaze, as if looking at a moron.
As more fists rained down like a storm...
Hyuga Neji's wails echoed throughout the entire battlefield... not far away.
Temari also heard these miserable screams.
Regardless, the current situation had completely spun out of her control.
Temari glanced at Sasuke, who was still unconscious beside her.
Although she could easily clear all the smoke blocking her vision with a Wind Release...
Doing so would bring no benefit whatsoever.
The best choice now was to take advantage of the chaos and quickly take Uchiha Sasuke away to regroup with Gaara and Kankuro.
Just as Temari was about to move, a figure appeared beside her like a ghost.
Who?!
Temari instinctively blocked with her fan in front of her.
When she saw the person's face, she couldn't help but blurt out: "You are... Hyuga Neji's lackey, Uzumaki Naruto?"
"Huh?"
This Shadow Clone was a bit confused.
"Do you want to snatch Uchiha Sasuke back too? Hmph, it won't be that easy!"
Hearing this, the Shadow Clone finally noticed Sasuke lying on a tree trunk behind Temari.
"Sasuke is here too... that's great."
