Chapter 171
The entire forest began to fill with ice mirrors.
At least dozens of ice mirrors appeared in different positions in the sky and on the ground.
Their orientations and angles varied, but overall, they surrounded Naruto and Sako like a prison.
Subsequently, Haku's figure began to project gradually within the ice mirrors.
Obito: "Round two..."
Then, these "Hakus" all raised their arms simultaneously and threw a barrage of Senbon needles that covered the sky and earth.
Superficially, the attack, like a rain of flowers, seemed to be launched by dozens of Hakus at once.
However, in reality, Obito controlled Haku, relying on a single body, constantly moving at high speed within these ice mirrors.
This created a visual illusion.
And now, Haku's speed had increased several times over.
His speed was unmatched by any enemy Narutohad encountered before.
Haku's demonic movement speed made it seem as if dozens of people were attacking simultaneously, even though it was just him.
Countless Senbon needles whistled through the air; although they couldn't break through Naruto's defenses immediately, it was only a matter of time... There was also one more thing that worried Naruto.
And Obito, who had never had a bottom line, naturally adopted that strategy.
That was... attacking Sako.
"Damn it."
Naruto flashed to cover Sako.
The result was a continuous volley of Senbon needles hitting one spot on the Tailed Beast Cloak.
It was like multiple Kunai repeatedly hitting the bullseye, or like rifle shots continuously hitting the bullseye.
After successive penetrating shots accumulated, the crimson Tailed Beast Cloak was shattered.
Naruto fell to the ground.
Sako witnessed Naruto's fight with the opponent.
From initial shock and surprise to ultimate despair, only a few short tens of seconds had passed.
She was now filled with grief and indignation.
The reason was that she had dragged Narutodown.
"Why... didn't you leave...?"
Sako looked at Naruto, though she already knew the answer.
Uzumaki Naruto, this guy, liked her.
And she felt the same way.
But at least, they could die together... Just as Obitowas about to deliver the finishing blow and take Sako away.
Another anomaly occurred.
The Chakra on Naruto's body rapidly surged, and the faded crimson tail on his back regrew.
And... a second tail, then a third tail, spread out.
Until... the fourth tail.
At this moment, Naruto also shifted from a fallen posture to a prone one.
To be precise... like a fox, he was on all fours.
Naruto, lying on the ground, was like a true small demon fox, his limbs contacting the ground in a way that defied human activity.
His fingers turned into sharp claws.
His human feet transformed into broad, sharp fox paws.
His mouth also opened wide, becoming a gaping maw.
Squatting on the ground, Naruto shook his head.
His posture was more like a demon fox than a human.
"Now... it's my turn."
Chapter 11 Sako, I, Naruto, am not human anymore~!
"..."
Obito said nothing and directly controlled Haku to throw Senbon needles.
However, Naruto suddenly leaped up with a whoosh, almost making him impossible to catch!
"Hmm?"
Obito looked at Naruto's suddenly increased speed, somewhat surprised.
Immediately, Naruto used all four limbs continuously, quickly dodging every attack.
Naruto was extremely excited at this moment.
Because he had never moved so fast before.
True freedom ♦... The surrounding trees, and even Sako and others, seemed to have become still images.
Undoubtedly, this Tailed Beast form was simply perfect.
Thus, Haku, controlled by Obito, entered a difficult battle.
He could no longer harm Naruto in the slightest; even if he aimed at Sako, Naruto would instantly rescue her.
And as time passed, more and more ice mirrors shattered.
Naruto just casually swiped a claw, and those mirrors shattered.
With a slight lapse in attention, a piece of Haku's clothing was torn off.
Naruto landed and retorted, "What will you do now?"
Before Obito could react, Naruto suddenly opened his mouth and let out an astonishing roar.
"Roar~~~~!"
The Nine-Tailed roar, mixed with a shockwave... to be precise, a Chakra shockwave, directly hit Haku's face.
Over 20 ice mirrors in the sky shattered simultaneously.
Haku, whose body was hidden within them, was directly blown away and rolled out.
There was no other way; the power gap between the two was simply too great now.
When... speed could no longer be an advantage.
Then Haku's weakness in strength would be directly exposed.
This was similar to a certain Flash.
Naruto waved his hand in the air beside his mouth, as if he had burped.
Naruto looked at Haku, who had fallen to the ground, and did not let his guard down.
And then, a swirl emerged.
Obito appeared before Naruto's eyes.
Obito, wearing an orange mask, stared intently at Naruto, as if to imprint Naruto's current appearance in his eyes.
And then, he vanished... Inari's house.
Kakashi lay on the bed, receiving care from Inari's mother, Tsunami.
Tsunami was a woman not yet 30 years old.
Beautiful and in her prime, she had only one child, Inari.
Naruto sat on a chair by the table, gnawing on a farm radish, while squinting his eyes, gazing at Tsunami's curves in her tight miniskirt... her slender calves exposed.
Above were her knees and the exposed part of her thighs.
Although she dressed simply, Tsunami's beauty was undeniable.
More importantly, Inari... he didn't have a father.
"Thank you all..."
Tazuna sighed, his tone full of relief.
After Zabuza woke up, he took Haku away.
Although he had fainted at the time, he vaguely saw a few things.
Zabuza, knowing Naruto's true strength, naturally wouldn't rush to seek death.
After all, he had been driven away by Yagura back then.
He understood better than anyone how terrifying a Jinchuriki was.
As for Naruto, the mission was successfully completed.
Because soon... Gato would die.
Zabuza would surely resent Gato for the changes that happened to Haku.
Although Zabuza wouldn't know anything, of course.
This way, with the villain Gato gone from the Land of Waves, everything would get better~!
Thinking that he had saved the ill-fated couple Zabuza and Haku, Naruto felt... that it was truly too easy to deal with.
Naruto nodded in satisfaction.
He was happy for another good deed he had done.
"That masked guy..."
Kakashi frowned, constantly thinking about that mysterious figure.
Who could he be?
He even possessed space Ninjutsu.
"Don't worry about it; we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
Naruto stood up, walked to the side, and opened the bedroom door.
Sako lay on the bed in Tsunami's room.
Sako stared blankly at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking.
Perhaps she was pondering whether the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's power was too strong?
"Naruto, I have something to ask you..."
"Hmm, alright."
Click.
Under Sakura's gaze, Naruto closed the room door...
