Chapter 223 A Grandmaster
Even Naruto was a bit shocked.
His perception abilities were also very strong; he could perceive abstract concepts like evil and justice.
But he knew his perception was completely different from Master Roshi's.
It should be the perception of 'ki'.
While his own was the perception of good and evil in people's hearts.
Fundamentally, these were not the same, and he wanted to learn.
Such 'ki' techniques, out of so many in the universe, currently only existed on Earth.
Even the mighty Frieza, Emperor of the Universe, used his eyes to see through his enemies' movements.
"What, want to learn?"
Naruto smiled without a word; of course, he wanted to learn, but even if Master Roshi didn't teach him, he didn't think he couldn't learn it.
The current Master Roshi wasn't necessarily much stronger than him.
Naruto mused internally.
He had achieved a victory of technique, but Master Roshi, in his current state, was also a stat monster.
One wave could destroy the moon.
And he couldn't do that.
Naruto was confident that standing on the moon or a bit closer, he could also destroy the moon, but from such a distance, with one wave... it was simply inhuman.
However, he didn't belittle himself; given time, he could also achieve it.
Master Roshi pondered; he could sense an aura of a superior being about Naruto.
Moreover, the power within him was very strange and very powerful.
If they truly fought, he might not necessarily win.
"I can teach you, but you must tell me your purpose."
"How do you figure?"
"Don't play jokes on an old man like me; I can tell you're not from the future, but rather like aliens."
Naruto: "..."
Nine-Tailed: "..."
Master Roshi's tone shifted, and he said with a chuckle, "But I can also tell you're not the type to kill innocents indiscriminately."
"Come, let's spar first."
Master Roshi's eyes were bright.
He hadn't encountered an evenly matched opponent in a long time and was itching for a fight.
"Good!"
Naruto readily agreed, and the two looked at each other, simultaneously rushing out of Kame Houseand into the ocean.
"Such speed."
Master Roshi gazed at Naruto with a serious expression.
Just now, he sensed that Naruto had used a very unique technique that instantly boosted his speed significantly.
Unfathomable.
"You're not bad either."
Naruto exclaimed.
He had used the Body Flicker Technique, and it was even more terrifying than Shisui's Body Flicker Technique.
But even with that, he was only slightly faster than Master Roshi.
Master Roshi's speed was purely natural.
"Come, let's see your strength."
Master Roshi laughed and charged directly at Naruto.
Naruto's expression was stern, and without using Ninjutsu, he immediately activated Sage Mode.
At this time, Naruto's Sage Mode was perfectly controlled, almost flawless.
From the outside, it was almost imperceptible.
But the powerful aura moved even Master Roshi.
He raised his hand and threw a punch.
The two exchanged blows, fist to flesh, and Narutowas subtly suppressed.
Nine-Tailed watched this scene in shock.
Naruto couldn't win in pure Taijutsu; how was this possible?
It wasn't a novice; its eyes were sharp, and it could tell that every move and stance of the old man with the turtle shell was highly skilled.
"This should be a technique for exerting force; it's even stronger than the Taijutsu of the Ninja World."
"However, Naruto hasn't used Ninjutsu yet, so it's not a big problem."
Nine-Tailed continued to watch.
This battle was a clash of cultivation methods from two worlds.
Even if Naruto said the Ninja World couldn't compare to this place, for now, Nine-Tailed didn't think so.
Because Naruto was there.
He had already created too many miracles.
This time, it believed Naruto would also create a miracle.
Cough cough!
After another collision, Naruto's face was a bit pale.
Master Roshi gazed at Naruto: "Show me your full strength; you're not suited for this kind of battle. I can tell you have your own set of techniques."
"Heh, you saw through me. Then I won't hold back."
Taking a deep breath, Naruto said coldly, "Nine-Tailed!"
"Coming."
Nine-Tailed flashed and entered the sealing space.
"Perfect Jinchuriki, activate!"
Boom!
Golden chakra flared around him, and mysterious runes appeared.
The cloak unfurled with a whoosh.
An astonishing aura shot into the sky.
Master Roshi's face changed dramatically: "Fusion? What kind of operation is this?"
He raised his eyes, and a mysterious power vaguely emerged.
"Kamui."
Crack!
The space around Master Roshi vibrated, showing faint signs of shattering.
Hiss!
Master Roshi was stunned.
It even involved space.
What the hell was this?
Naruto was also a bit astonished; he had gone all out, yet the space in this place only slightly distorted.
This sturdy space affected his performance.
He expressionlessly withdrew Kamui, and facing Master Roshi who was charging over, Narutoraised his hand.
Great Ball Rasengan.
Boom!
"Kamehameha!"
Master Roshi roared, and the two energy spheres instantly collided.
Water splashed explosively.
"True Several Thousand Hands!"
Naruto clapped his hands together, and behind him, a Thousand-Hand Naruto, filled with compassion, struck out.
Countless hands, carrying immense power, continuously slammed down.
Master Roshi dodged.
"Astonishing energy."
Naruto's eyes shone even brighter, going all out: "Sage Art: Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"
Rumble!
As Naruto waved his hand, the sea roared, and terrifying giant waves surged forward, rushing towards the dodging Master Roshi.
Master Roshi: "..."
What a fight.
How did this guy have so many strange abilities?
These terrifying energy fluctuations could manifest various techniques.
Simply unheard of.
He thought his teacher's World-Shaking Palm was already incredible, but compared to this Uzumaki Naruto, it seemed mediocre.
No!
The techniques for exerting force were different.
Master Roshi retreated rapidly, withdrawing his aura.
Naruto paused, not attacking again.
"Why aren't you fighting anymore?"
"I already know some of your abilities."
Master Roshi shook his head; he was confident he could defeat this young man.
But he also didn't think this was Naruto's true strength.
It was just a spar, stopping at the right moment.
"How was it?"
"Very strong."
"And your abilities, if used well, are also very powerful."
Master Roshi commented.
He was a martial arts master; even if the future held monsters, his eyesight was still sharp.
Naturally, he could tell that Naruto's path was different from theirs.
"I can't give you any advice; you're already a grandmaster like me."
Master Roshi sighed: "We can, however, exchange knowledge."
His potential was already exhausted, and he had thought this was all there was to his life.
But now, he seemed to see the scenery of another path.
Thinking of this, Master Roshi chuckled: "How about we verify each other's knowledge?"
"Most willingly."
Naruto also needed much of Master Roshi's theoretical knowledge.
Indeed,
he could transform into Master Roshi and learn the Kamehameha and such.
But Master Roshi's greatest asset was his theoretical knowledge.
Those were conclusions he had reached through summation.
Thus,
the two verified each other's knowledge, sitting and discussing the Dao.
The old and the young got along very harmoniously.
In a blink of an eye,
a month passed quietly.
Naruto gave Master Roshi a set of icha icha paradise and, under his gleaming eyes, gracefully departed.
The verification was complete, and he had learned everything he needed to; it was time to pick someone up.
The plan, it was time to begin...
