chapter 25~ part 2

Sasori glanced angrily at Naruto, frustrated that his puppet had been destroyed and that the real fight between them was about to begin.

Suddenly, numerous clay birds materialized in front of Naruto. With his agility, he skillfully dodged each bird as it detonated.

Deidara utilized long-range attacks by shooting clay birds at Naruto, who continued to evade them amidst the explosions without sustaining any injuries.

Naruto realized that it would be challenging to approach Deidara due to his constant position changes after witnessing Naruto's substitution jutsu. The explosions grew larger and more frequent.

Amidst evading the massive clay birds, Naruto noticed a small bug on his shoulder. It exploded near his ear and more bugs latched onto his body. Naruto was trapped in the middle of explosions with nowhere to run.

Observing the bugs covering his body, Naruto joined his hands together and emitted a powerful wave of chakra from all tenketsu points. The bugs were forcefully expelled from his body, resulting in a massive explosion.

After releasing the chakra, Naruto stood in a deep crater approximately ten meters in diameter, demonstrating the density of his chakra. This display amazed everyone present.

Sasori and Deidara silently acknowledged that only Naruto possessed chakra capable of creating such a significant crater and deemed him a formidable opponent.

"You managed to evade my attack. Capturing you won't be as easy as we thought," Deidara remarked.

Deidara reached into his clay bag and the mouth on his hand consumed the clay, producing a large bird capable of flight.

He mounted the bird and soared into the sky, causing Naruto to contemplate the difficulties he would face if attacked from above.

Meanwhile, Sasori unrolled a scroll to reveal the puppet of the Third Kazekage. Naruto focused his attention on Sasori and formed two enhanced Rasengan in his hands, which had a higher spinning speed and created a circulating wind around his hands.

Sasori swiftly launched an iron spike at Naruto, who evaded it by leaping.

However, more spikes continued to come, prompting Naruto to disappear from his original spot, leaving only sand flowing in its place. Naruto reappeared at a distance, yet the onslaught of iron spikes persisted.

To defend himself, Naruto deflected the iron sand using his Rasengan. Whenever an iron spike approached, he adjusted its angle using his Rasengan.

While deflecting the iron sand, Naruto sensed chakra signatures behind him.

The signatures approached rapidly, leaving him little time to utilize substitution jutsu. Consequently, a clay bird exploded behind Naruto.

He narrowly avoided an iron needle but suffered a slight cut on his cheek. The force of the explosion sent Naruto flying, causing him to collide with the ground multiple times.

Sakura's heart sank at the sight of Naruto's injuries. Nevertheless, Naruto bravely stood up and smiled after surviving such a powerful explosion.

The onlookers gazed at Naruto in awe as the cut on his cheek visibly healed within three seconds.

It appeared that Naruto possessed exceptional control over his healing chakra, allowing wounds to heal mid-battle. Similar to Hashirama Senju, Naruto exhibited incredible healing abilities even in the midst of combat.

"This is getting fun. Let's be more efficient," Naruto exclaimed with a crazed grin. He relished in the thrill of fighting and recognized that this battle was the most challenging he had faced thus far.

"Are you ready, Kurama?" Naruto spoke to his friend. "Ready when you are," Kurama spoke, just as excited as him.

Naruto clasped his hands, and a wave of killing intent spread into the surroundings. A malevolent chakra cloak of pure blood red, matching his hair, covered his body. "Damn, a perfect jinchuriki," Deidara spoke from the sky.

The killing intent spread to a few kilometers, and Naruto's Kurama mode was not in golden color this time. Kurama had not dispersed his hatred or killing intent from his body, making him more beast-like.

Naruto and Kurama were completely cooperative with each other, and the red chakra cloak around Naruto glowed in the night. He looked like a devil that emerged from hell.

On the other side, Sakura was on her knees. The killing intent from Kurama was unbearable for her, and she struggled to breathe. She looked at Naruto, who appeared like a true devil to her.

He clicked his tongue and said, "She is so weak." Naruto retrieved all the killing intent from the area, and Sakura breathed heavily, feeling as if a mountain had been lifted from her shoulders.

The pressure in the area had been lifted as well.

With precise control, a wave of killing intent hit Deidara and Sasori, directed solely at them and not affecting anyone else.

When the pressure of killing intent hit Deidara in the sky, his bird dropped several meters due to the heavy pressure. Sasori, on the other hand, sank a few inches into the sand.

Naruto pulled out a scroll from his pocket, and with a puff, a sword resembling the Kusunagi blade appeared in his hands. The red chakra started to engulf the sword as Naruto swung it in a full arc towards Sasori.

The sword wave cut through everything in its path. Sasori moved his fingers, and a shield of iron manifested in front of him. With a loud bang, the sword wave and iron shield collided. The sharp shockwave cut through the iron shield and moved towards Sasori. He summoned a cube of iron to block the sword attack.

The atmosphere tensed as Naruto entered his full Kurama chakra mode.

Naruto flicked his finger, causing sand to float in his place. In his right hand, a Rasengan about his size slammed into the iron cube protecting Sasori.

This was the biggest variant of Rasengan, measuring 1.6 meters in diameter. As the Rasengan hit the iron sand, it started grinding it, slowly making its way towards the Kazekage puppet.

Sasori poured more and more iron sand into the defensive shield, but to no avail. This Rasengan was so big and spinning at the highest speed it could maintain. It illuminated the night when it collided with the iron shield.

When the Rasengan was about to hit the Kazekage puppet, Sasori retrieved it with a puff of smoke and jumped back.

The Rasengan hit the empty ground, causing violent shaking and completely demolishing the area within a 50-meter radius. Naruto looked at Sasori with a smile and said, "You are fast enough to evade my attack."

Sasori couldn't afford the destruction of his Kazekage puppet. In the air, Deidara stabilized himself with an angry look on his face.

He was about to fall from the sudden killing attack that lingered around him, slowing both him and Sasori. Deidara put his hand in his bag.

Hundreds of clay birds shot out from his hand, all directed at Naruto. The area lit up with loud explosions as Deidara didn't care about anyone on the battlefield and blew up the entire area where Naruto had stood before.

He looked at his handiwork from the sky and said in an excited voice, "True art is an explosion," as he bombarded Naruto with his clay birds.

The area around the sea was completely destroyed. Naruto stood in the middle of the explosion, his wounds still healing. The chakra cloak had protected him from this magnificent level of explosion. Although wounded, he remained excited.

Sasori didn't give them a moment of rest. With a puff of smoke, hundreds of puppets stood beside him. Naruto glanced at them and then looked at Sakura, who was far from him.

"Fight with me, or do you intend to stay behind and watch?" Naruto spoke to her. He knew that Sakura had the potential to rival Tsunade, but her mentality was holding her back. Her behavior was still a problem for him, but he didn't harbor any hate towards her.

If he wanted to build a team that could overcome any challenge, Sakura had the potential to be a part of it. He just needed to correct her mentality, even if it meant using brutal or manipulative methods. Naruto knew her weak point, and if he could correct her mentality, he would exploit that weakness.

Sakura looked at him and hardened her resolve. She no longer wanted to burden him or rely on him for protection. Sakura appeared beside him.

They both looked at the hundreds of puppets. Naruto crossed his fingers, and hundreds of chains burst out from his back. Naruto had explored the shadow clone jutsu and created his own jutsu by incorporating aspects of its consciousness into his adamantium chains.

This large-scale jutsu allowed him to manifest chains with their own consciousness. He no longer had to manually command them, unlike the maximum of 30 chains he could handle manually. With this jutsu, he could create thousands of chains with consciousness, as long as he had the chakra to support them.

However, these chakra chains consumed a significant amount of his chakra. The 100 chains with consciousness had depleted 90% of his chakra reserves, despite him having an inhumane amount of chakra.

The menacing chains swayed around him, their sharp ends capable of piercing through anything. They all observed in shock as hundreds of chains protected him from all sides, their red appearance resembling blood.

Sakura, standing beside him, looked at the sight in awe and curiosity. "What are these chains, Naruto?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the bloody chains.

"They are my clan's kekkei genkai," Naruto answered.

This all happened in less than 8 seconds.

They all looked at each other—Sasori with his hundred puppets, Deidara from the sky, Naruto with his adamantium chains, and Sakura with her chakra-enhanced fist.

They rushed towards each other, Sakura and Naruto launching attacks while Sasori controlled his puppets. Deidara formed clay birds and aimed them at Naruto and Sakura.

Five chains rushed towards Deidara, precisely intercepting all the clay birds and destroying them before they could explode. The chains then headed towards the sky, attempting to capture the flying birds.

Deidara panicked as all his explosive bombs were destroyed, and the relentless chains chased after him.

He flew higher in the sky, hundreds of meters above where the chains couldn't reach him. To his surprise, the chains didn't stop.

They continued to chase him in the sky. The longer the chains extended, the higher the chakra cost for Naruto.

Unlike shadow clones, these chains were physical manifestations of chakra and required significant chakra expenditure. Seeing that Deidara was getting farther away, the chains eventually ceased their pursuit.

On the ground, Naruto stood with 95 chains and a sword in his hand as he and Sakura launched their attacks. A fierce battle commenced, with Naruto easily cutting through the puppets and Sakura destroying one with a single punch.

Every adamantium chain destroyed some puppets every minute, in less than 3 minutes all the puppets were destroyed, and then a ball of clay hit the ground in front of Sakura, and a big explosion happened, one of Nauto's chains warp around Sakura's waist and pulled her away, Sakura saw the explosion so close, it only one inch away from her body, before she was dragged away. She looked at Naruto "Thanks" she speak, she was only one hair away from death.

Deidara appeared beside Sasori, and suddenly a centipede started to crawl on Naruto's body, naruto looked at the white clay centipede crawl on his body.

Deidara held a hand sign "Now the game is over," Deidara spoke, Naruto looked at him with a smile his eyes slightly glowed, "are you sure" Naruto spoke.

Deidara was puzzled, and then everything changed, he found the centipede for Naruto was on his body, and Naruto was standing in front of him with a bloody moon behind him, illuminating his back, and his red eyes glow in shadow on his face.

"Genjutsu... since when," Diedara said in a low voice, this was the second time this happen to him, the first was Itachi, and now Naruto, "I hate Genjutsu user's" Deidara shouted.
