Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Jiraiya insisted that Obito, a traitor to Konoha, should be punished according to the laws of Konoha.

In addition, there was Kakashi's mother's plea.

Naruto thought it over and over.

To keep Obito alive after losing his Sharingan, the Ten-Tails, his body hollowed out, and his strength reduced to less than one-tenth, would undoubtedly be even more painful for him.

Death ends all, that's a relief.

To live, to have dreams, to be unable to realize them, and to lose the powerful strength necessary to achieve those dreams—what else is there but despair and discouragement?

It was precisely because Naruto thought of this that he didn't kill Obito.

Incidentally, the phrase "hollowed out" doesn't only refer to the Ten-Tailed Divine Tree being stripped away.

Another reason is that Naruto used the power of the Six Paths to obliterate the Hashirama cells and Naruto cells inside Obito's body.

To put it bluntly, Obito can't even beat a Chunin right now. A regular team of three Genin, if they coordinate well, could easily crush him.

No matter how you look at it, Obito is finished; there's no chance of a comeback.

"Naruto, be careful, please be cautious," Kushina said from in front of the teleportation portal.

She wanted to stay so that she could help Naruto if he needed it.

"I know, it's not like we're going to fight to the death. It's just a friendly spar, what could possibly happen?" Naruto said with a smile.

“Who can say for sure about things like that?” Kushina muttered.

Chapter 281 Duel

Beneath the enormous, incomparable divine tree.

Naruto and Sasuke stand facing each other.

Sasuke brazenly looked Naruto up and down and said, "I don't quite understand your condition. You're no longer human, are you?"

"What kind of talk is that? I haven't been human since the day I was born," Naruto said, amused.

“It’s different,” Sasuke said.

“I know that you used to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. What I mean is, the current you gives me a completely different feeling.”

"How should I put it? It's like this thing."

Seeing that Sasuke was referring to the God Tree, Naruto chuckled: "Think what you want, it won't affect our battle. Let's hurry up and fight, I have things to do after this."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"By the way, how do we determine the winner?" Naruto suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Given our circumstances, if we fight normally without the goal of killing each other, it would take one or two months to get any results."

Its physique is not human.

An astonishingly fast chakra recovery speed.

Both sides possess the Rinnegan, making absorbing each other's chakra a basic skill; their chakra consumption is probably slower than their chakra replenishment.

Without setting a standard, how long will this go on?

“It’s simple.” Sasuke pointed to his heart: “Whoever’s heart explodes first loses.”

Naruto goes without saying. As the God Tree, immortality is his nature. If his heart is destroyed, no big deal. He'll regenerate a new, fresh heart in no time.

Sasuke's words, while not as exaggerated as Naruto's, are still quite significant.

First, he was implanted with Naruto's cells, and then he received a gift from the Sage of Six Paths, possessing the chakra source of the nine tailed beasts within his body.

The heart is no longer Sasuke's fatal wound; killing him won't be so easy.

No matter how badly the body is injured, it can't kill Sasuke. Only by absorbing and wiping out Sasuke's chakra can it kill him.

“Okay.” Naruto nodded, picking up a pebble at random: “When this lands, that’s the start.”

Sasuke nodded.

The pebble was gently tossed up by Naruto, and then, pulled by gravity, fell vertically to the ground.

Just hear a snap.

At the same time, Naruto and Sasuke disappeared from their original spot and reappeared hundreds of meters away, their fists clashing together.

A brief stalemate ensued.

Naruto remained motionless, not retreating an inch.

Sasuke felt an irresistible force surge from his fist, spreading throughout his body, causing him to stagger backward uncontrollably.

"Its power is greater than I imagined," Sasuke thought to himself.

During the backward movement, the hands are clasped together, and the hand seal is completed at an extremely fast speed.

Thousand Birds.

On top of that, the Amaterasu Black Flame, a powerful and inextinguishable fire, was added after undergoing a transformation by the Kagutsuchi spirit.

Furthermore, Yin-Yang Escape and the power of the Six Paths were added to it.

Whether in terms of quality or quantity, the destructive power of this move is terrifyingly high.

If hit, Naruto's chakra cloak would be completely useless; it would be torn through like paper.

"Such a powerful technique right from the start." Naruto raised an eyebrow.

With his right hand fingers spread open, chakra surged.

A large one.

Three small.

Four Rasengan were formed in an instant.

It is based on the large Rasengan in the middle, which is infused with Yin Release chakra.

It is surrounded by three smaller Rasengans, which are Yang Release chakra.

This is an enhanced version of the Planetary Rasengan.

Among the seven types of escape techniques, the strongest one is undoubtedly Yin-Yang Escape, as it can create and destroy.

Ordinary Five Elements Escape Techniques are hard to stand against Yin-Yang Escape Techniques.

Suddenly, Naruto's vision blurred, and he appeared on the other side.

"They dodged ahead of time! Did they sense something?" Sasuke frowned slightly.

"Is there danger?" Naruto pondered as he listened to the cells within his body explaining the reason for using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In his perception, Sasuke's chakra reaction was far away from him.

The ability to allow cells to escape prematurely must be Sasuke's Rinnegan eye technique, which can temporarily stop time.

"Do you want to finish this quickly?" Naruto thought, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique without any seals to return to the battlefield, and then clasped his hands together.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

The human wave tactic is still very effective; it is the most forgiving tactic among the many strategies devised by the Shadow Clone Strategist Team.

It can be perfectly integrated with most tactics.

My line of sight was filled with countless shadow clones, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Sasuke immediately dispersed the Chidori, Amaterasu, and Kagutsuchi in his hands and used Susanoo instead.

The complete Susanoo, a towering, burly warrior, stands between heaven and earth.

He held two knives in his left and right hands respectively, and slashed wildly in all directions.

~~~

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

"A duel! For a monster of unknown origin?" Tsunade was stunned after hearing Jiraiya and Kakashi's account: "You didn't see that monster?"

“I saw him,” Jiraiya said.

"What is that?" Tsunade asked quickly.

“A towering tree,” Jiraiya said.

"..." Tsunade.

"Lord Hokage, I'm not joking," Kakashi added. "That was indeed a tree, a tree beyond common sense, one I've never seen or heard of before."

"What exactly is that tree? Let's not worry about that for now. By the way, is it another Uchiha?" Tsunade sighed, rubbing her forehead.

"Having just dealt with Obito Uchiha and kept quiet for a while, Sasuke Uchiha, who was thought to be safe from causing trouble again, has reappeared."

"Don't worry, with Naruto's strength, he'll be fine. You can trust him unconditionally," Jiraiya said with a smile.

"We'll talk about Naruto when he gets back." Tsunade stood up. "I need to see Obito first."

In the secret prison of the Dark Guard, there is one cell that is impregnable. Even if the surface is bombarded by Tailed Beast Balls, this cell underground will not be shaken.

Obito is locked up here.

Use an eye patch to cover your eyes.

The mouth was sealed with tape.

The two hands were tightly bound, one in front of the other, with a special barrier between the fingers, making it impossible to move and eliminating the possibility of forming hand seals.

Even if you can form hand seals with one hand, you can forget about using ninjutsu.

A sealing talisman to curb chakra extraction.

A powerful anesthetic injected into Obito's body.

Inside and out, up and down, front and back, there was no oversight.

"Isn't this going a bit too far?" Shizune whispered.

"What are you saying?" Tsunade said.
