Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

At that time, Naruto was not in Sage Mode.

What does this represent?

The Nine-Tails' chakra has a similar effect to Sage Mode chakra, allowing the Rasenshuriken to be used as a ranged attack.

He spread out his right hand and, following Kurama's instructions, adjusted the ratio of his own chakra to Kurama's chakra.

Six to four.

A spiral shuriken, its color darker and deeper, gradually took shape.

“Unbelievable…” Ino sighed, her body swaying.

In her perception, Naruto's chakra reaction at this moment was like an active volcano erupting, boiling and exploding.

This is not a level of chakra that humans can possess; the word "terrifying" is insufficient to describe it.

"Well done. With your current chakra control, it's just right, not too much, not too little," Kurama said.

Without saying a word, Naruto forcefully threw the Rasenshuriken, which was not yet named but whose name would definitely be very long, at Shukaku.

The shadow clone that was controlling the wooden dragon was surprised that the main body could throw out a spiral shuriken.

Reacting quickly, it grasped the host's intention and immediately took control of the wooden dragon, tightly gripping Shukaku's beak and watching its mouth to prevent it from using the Tailed Beast Ball again.

In Sakura, in Ino.

In Iruka, there are students and teachers who haven't yet evacuated from the Ninja Academy.

Villagers, ninjas, and Jiraiya who was rushing towards them, were nearby and far away.

Under the watchful eyes of Temari, Kankuro, Sunagakure, Soundagakure, and many others.

The Rasenshuriken struck Shukaku's head precisely.

Centered on that point, it suddenly expanded, becoming a solid earthen ball with a diameter of about seventy meters.

The shadow clone was instantly destroyed.

Even though the living Wood Dragon has lost control of its Shadow Clone Jutsu and is less agile, it still possesses the ability to absorb chakra to strengthen or repair itself.

By continuously consuming the chakra of the One-Tailed Beast, Shukaku's chances of escaping were reduced.

"The chakra consumption is terrifying," Naruto thought to himself.

Didn't take it to heart.

He may not have much else, but he has a lot of chakra, not only his own, but also the Nine-Tails, a major chakra user.

Chakra consumption is not a problem, as long as it works well.

"Are you alright?" Naruto asked.

Sakura shook her head, grabbed Naruto's hand and stood up: "Transferring such a large object consumes too much chakra, my legs are a little weak."

Upon hearing this, Naruto hesitated for a moment, then picked up Sakura in his arms and, amidst her soft gasps of surprise, carried her to Ino's side.

"The biggest problem has been solved. You can stay here; you're safe."

After entrusting Sakura to Ino's care, Naruto left and went to the solid earthen ball that sealed Shukaku, pondering how to deal with this big guy.

He heard an explosion on the other side of the earthen ball and curiously went around to it.

Then we see Temari and the others attacking the earth ball, trying to break through the restriction and release the One-Tailed Beast.

"A dozen or so explosive tags stacked together, and it only scratched off this little bit of skin..." Kankuro clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Even with the addition of a B-rank Wind Release technique that undergoes a nature change, it doesn't cause much damage. It's just too tough!"

"Don't stop, keep attacking! This sphere is sealed. Gaara is trapped inside and can't breathe. He won't last much longer," Temari said, waving her iron fan.

He exerted all his strength to activate the highest level of Wind Release technique he knew.

"Who goes there!" The Sand Village Jonin exclaimed, alert.

The group looked closely and met Naruto's gaze.

"Wood Release Secret Technique..." The Sand Village Jonin narrowed his eyes, reacting first. With his ninja sword in hand, he instantly rushed towards Naruto.

He wanted to kill this genius boy from Konoha.

At this moment, Naruto's conscious and neurological reactions were not yet up to the speed of a Jonin.

It's alright. His consciousness might be slow to react, but his body is fine.

He easily dodged the Sand Village Jonin's fatal blow, and then skillfully evaded the relentless attacks that followed.

"I told you not to stop! Saving Gaara is the priority!" Temari kicked Kankuro.

Seeing that the other two Sand Ninja were cooperating to attack Naruto, she gritted her teeth, gathered her chakra, and continued to attack the earth ball.

"Damn it!" The Sand Village Jonin cursed angrily, unable to hit Naruto at all.

"Lightning Release: Earth Release." Naruto ignored the issue of dodging and focused on forming hand seals.

With the generous use of chakra, the power and range of this technique have been elevated several levels.

Chapter 77 Overpowered

Without his passive instincts, Naruto would truly be a high-attack, low-defense, and low-speed ninja.

This speed refers to attack speed.

When he goes all out, his movement speed is very fast, but unfortunately his nerve reflexes are not good. Without a Sharingan or similar eye technique, you can't expect his dynamic vision to be very good.

When faced with a sudden attack from a Jonin, they would definitely be defeated, not even having time to use the Nine-Tails' chakra.

No matter how strong one's self-healing ability is, no one is immortal. Even if your head is removed from your neck, you will still die.

There are no "what ifs" in reality.

The reality is that Naruto possesses the incredible skill of passive instinct, allowing his body to react automatically to any evasion.

It skips multiple steps, including conscious reaction, nerve transmission, muscle mobilization, and chakra refining, and directly evades the attack.

One word: fast.

Of course, there are also shortcomings, namely that it can only dodge and cannot attack; Naruto still has to do the attack himself.

Given his attack speed and single-target attacks, it's obvious that he wouldn't be able to hit a Jonin.

To hit the target, you must first restrict the opponent's movements or launch a wide-area attack.

The paralyzing effect of Lightning Release chakra and the wide range of Lightning Release Earth Walk perfectly fulfill these two requirements.

Squeak!

Centered on Naruto, a terrifying tree-like lightning formation exploded like a flower in bloom, and lightning is known for its speed.

Several Sand Village ninja, including a Jonin, were unable to dodge in time and were struck by one or two bolts of lightning.

The area hit by the lightning experienced numbness, which affected speed, and then more lightning caught up and attacked.

He screamed in agony: "Aaaaaah!"

Naruto, acting like a chakra nouveau riche, didn't know how to conserve his chakra. He frantically refined his chakra, performed lightning nature transformation, and then released it all at once.

The lightning chakra that exists in reality is replenished by new lightning chakra before it can naturally evaporate, in an endless stream.

Temari and Kankuro, the siblings, were so shocked that they had no choice but to stop their attack and hastily retreat to a distance.

Unfortunately, he was too fast to match lightning and didn't know the Instantaneous Movement Technique, so he couldn't escape.

"This is truly..." Jiraiya arrived and was astonished by what he saw.

He electrocuted all the Sand Ninja to the ground and gave them a makeover, turning them into afro.

Noticing Jiraiya, Naruto released his Lightning Release: Earth Walk and changed his hand seals, causing the surrounding silent trees to tremble slightly.

"That headband isn't from Sand Village or Sound Village. Which ninja village are you from?" Naruto asked warily, pretending not to recognize him.

Upon hearing Naruto's question, Jiraiya instinctively swayed his body, trying to summon a toad, sing half a little tune, and introduce himself.

Then, realizing that this wasn't the time to fool around, he straightened his face and looked at Naruto seriously.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm also a Konoha ninja. As for the headband, it's related to the summoning beast I've contracted."

"Look, this is my Konoha headband, and this is my ninja certificate."

As times change, identification documents become increasingly important. Without sufficient identification documents to prove your identity, you are not even qualified to say that you are who you are.

Naruto pretended to stare intently, but naturally couldn't see anything wrong.

After finishing his act, he said, "How is your strength? If you can match a Jonin, or even surpass one, please head to the Chunin Exams venue as soon as possible."

"What's wrong?" Jiraiya asked in a deep voice.

"Orochimaru disguised himself as the Fourth Kazekage and ambushed the Third Hokage, oh, that is, the Hokage-sama. He wanted to kill the Hokage-sama," Naruto said.

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Jiraiya had already disappeared, but he had unleashed his chakra and used the Body Flicker Technique to rush towards his destination.

"Can we make it in time?" Naruto crouched down, using his chakra perception technique.

In my perception, the life reactions and chakra reactions within the Four Purple Flame Formation have increased from the original three—the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, and the Sand Village Jonin—to five.

The Third Hokage, Orochimaru, showed no change in his life force or chakra reflexes.

The Sand Village Jonin's vital signs disappeared.

Three additional unfamiliar chakra reactions appeared.

"No signs of life, is it Edo Tensei? First Hokage Hashirama, Second Hokage Tobirama, who is the other one?" Naruto frowned.

It couldn't be the fourth generation Minato.

Minato's soul, along with half of the Nine-Tails, is inside the Shinigami's belly.

Impure World Reincarnation has a unique characteristic.

Only after a successful summoning can the creature be stored in the coffin for future use; if the summoning fails, the coffin will not appear.

In the story, the third coffin that Orochimaru summons must contain a Kage-level powerhouse, but it's uncertain which one.

It's highly likely to be the Fourth Kazekage, and there's also a certain probability that it's the Fourth Mizukage.

"The Third Hokage can't just sit idly by and watch Orochimaru successfully summon the spirit. It's highly likely that, like in the story, he'll break the third coffin," Naruto thought to himself.
