The sickening sound of bones cracking was clearly audible!
Shi Luo's neck twisted and snapped at an eerie angle in an instant!
It was as if it had been hit by a high-speed train, turning into a blur as it flew backward, crashing into and collapsing several houses.
Finally, it embedded itself hard into a distant hill, kicking up clouds of dust!
All of this happened too fast; from the appearance of the golden light to the blasting of Shi Luo, it was only a fleeting moment.
The golden chakra slowly subsided, revealing the true form of the newcomer.
That signature blond hair, the lines of his beard, and those eyes that were as blue as the sky, yet now burning with fury…
"Are you guys okay?"
A familiar voice rang out, carrying a hint of concern, yet containing an undeniable and powerful force.
Shikadai, Inojin, Chocho, and Himawari, who had been in despair, were all stunned in place.
My eyes widened in disbelief at what I was seeing.
Instead of the Seventh Hokage robe that symbolized responsibility, he wore unfamiliar clothing that was practical for combat.
But that face, that unique charisma...
"The...the seventh generation?!" Inojin exclaimed in disbelief.
"Uncle Naruto?!" Chocho covered her mouth.
Shikadai's eyes were filled with shock and unbelievable surprise.
The little sunflower looked at the figure in front of it, which was exactly the same as the photo and description in its memory, but seemed younger and more energetic.
Tears instantly filled her eyes, and with a sob and boundless anticipation, she timidly, yet with unwavering clarity, uttered that name:
"Dad! You...you're really still alive!?"
"puff--!"
Naruto stumbled and almost lost his balance.
He was so focused on saving and beating people that he didn't even notice who he was saving!
Upon closer inspection, the little girl... had blue eyes and looked somewhat familiar... and then I heard her call out "Daddy."
He was completely confused!
Does this mean my future self not only has a son, Boruto, but also such an adorable daughter?!
In her consciousness space, Kushina was so excited she was almost fainting: "Granddaughter! It's my granddaughter Himawari! Minato, can you see her?! She's so cute!!"
Minato also had a relieved smile on his face.
Nine-Tails glanced at Himawari, as if it sensed something from her.
Ban, however, continued to feign sleep, seemingly unconcerned that it was none of his business.
Outside, Naruto blushed, flustered by the word "Dad".
But with a formidable enemy at hand, this is not the time for explanations.
He could only steel himself, awkwardly turning his head away, unable to look directly into the sunflower's hopeful eyes, and reply in as calm a voice as possible:
"Hmm... I'll leave it... I'll leave it with Dad!"
After saying that, he immediately turned to a small communication toad that had fallen to the side of him when he appeared.
From the toad's mouth came Boruto's anxious yet incredibly surprised voice:
"Dad! You're too fast! This speed is outrageous!"
Boruto witnessed what had just happened through the toad's shared vision, and was utterly shocked.
The speed at which this younger version of his father unleashed his full power far exceeded the limits he had ever known of his father's peak performance!
Naruto took a deep breath, suppressing the chaos in his heart, and quickly ordered the communication toad: "You guys go and eliminate that God Tree Man 'Zuo' who is still in Konoha. I'll deal with this guy named Juro!"
Boruto's voice immediately turned serious: "Be very careful! The strength of the Ten Laws is unfathomable! If anything happens, notify me immediately through the communication toad, and I will use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport you away!"
"Yes!" Naruto nodded heavily, his sharp eyes fixed on the direction where Shira had been sent flying.
Just then, the ruins of the distant hill exploded with a deafening roar!
Shi Luo's figure slowly rose into the air, its hands supporting its twisted neck, and it exerted a sudden force.
With a chilling "crack" sound, the severed neck was actually snapped back into place!
It stretched its neck, as if the fatal blow had been nothing more than a minor disturbance.
His calm, unwavering gaze locked onto Naruto once more, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry:
"I didn't expect that you would actually show up, Naruto Uzumaki."
"But... why do you look so much younger than in those promotional pictures?"
The battle is about to break out!
Chapter 392 Battle against the Ten Luo!
Facing the Tenra, who floated in the air with an unfathomable aura, Naruto felt no sense of relief whatsoever.
Boruto's extremely solemn tone and Kashin Koji's prophecy about the destruction of the future weighed heavily on his heart like a boulder.
The enemy before him, just by standing there, exuded an aura that surpassed all the enemies Naruto had ever faced before.
Although it was unclear whether he could defeat her, when Shiro's target was clearly Himawari, and he almost devoured her.
His protective instincts as a father, coupled with his sense of responsibility as a Konoha ninja, instantly made him abandon all other thoughts—
This threat must be eradicated here, right now!
Otherwise, once I leave, Boruto, Himawari, and the entire Hidden Leaf Village will never have peace!
"What is your purpose in coming to Konoha?"
Naruto's voice was icy, and golden chakra rose slowly from his body like flames, his powerful aura locking onto Shira.
Shiro's indifferent face seemed devoid of any emotional fluctuation as it calmly responded.
It was as if he were stating a simple fact: "Although the process was somewhat unexpected, my goal remained the same. Naruto Uzumaki, I came to Konoha just for you."
"Me?" Naruto's eyes sharpened.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground beneath Naruto's feet changed again!
Thicker and darker trees than before burst forth from the ground like giant pythons, at an astonishing speed.
In an instant, they wove together into a huge wooden net, like the gaping maw of an abyss, about to completely swallow and imprison Naruto!
However, having learned from his previous experience rescuing Himawari, Naruto was prepared for this type of attack.
He snorted coldly.
The right foot, enveloped in golden tailed beast chakra, suddenly rose and slammed down on the ground!
boom--! ! !
A burst of violent chakra erupted from the soles of his feet, spreading outwards like an invisible shockwave!
Those incredibly resilient and eerie trees shattered instantly, like fragile glass, turning into a shower of wood chips!
Naruto shattered the opponent's attack with a single blow, his movements unwavering, his body shifting slightly as he charged forward.
But Shi Luo reacted even faster!
Its indifferent eyes locked onto Naruto, and a jet-black sphere containing destructive energy instantly materialized in front of its brow!
Naruto was shocked, sensing an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the black sphere!
Without hesitation, he instinctively dodged to the side!
call out--! ! !
The black light stream, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, grazed past Naruto's afterimage, its speed far exceeding that of ordinary ninjutsu!
The beam of light shot towards a deserted training ground in the distance—
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
A deafening explosion rang out, and a small mushroom cloud, mixed with intense flames, shot into the sky!
Even from a great distance, the terrifying shockwave made Naruto's clothes flutter wildly!
"Tailed beast jade?!"
Naruto's pupils contracted, his heart filled with horror.
How could this guy in front of me, who doesn't look like a Tailed Beast at all, so easily unleash a Tailed Beast Ball attack?
Moreover, the condensation speed and the launch method are even more bizarre!
Before he could think it through, Shi Luo's attacks came one after another!
Several more small black energy balls shot out like a barrage of bullets!
"We can't stay on the defensive any longer!" Naruto's eyes flashed, and the Nine-Tails' chakra within him surged to a boiling point!
A dazzling golden chakra shot into the sky, instantly forming a solid chakra cloak.
Faced with the incoming black energy ball, Naruto stopped dodging and instead pushed his speed to the limit!
Transforming into a golden lightning bolt that tore through the sky, it darted through the gaps in the energy spheres with astonishing agility and speed, heading straight for Shiro!
The communication toad's eyes widened in surprise upon seeing this.
With the enhancement of Kurama Mode, the speed of this young Naruto Uzumaki reached an unbelievable level!
Almost instantly, the golden figure had already closed in on Shi Luo!
A fist enveloped in dense chakra, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, slammed fiercely toward Shira's face!
However, Shi Luo remained calm and unhurried in the face of this swift attack.
It raised its arm and precisely blocked Naruto's heavy punch!
The fists and arms collided, producing a dull, loud sound like metal clashing!
