Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　Suddenly, Kushina was deeply moved, feeling a warmth in her heart. However, thinking about her current situation, she couldn't feel happy.

　What is this cold-blooded fool doing here now? These enemies are powerful, far beyond what Ye Chen can handle.

　"You should leave quickly," Kushina whispered, her voice barely audible. She didn't want Ye Chen to sacrifice himself for her.

　"Do not talk nonsense!"

　"Listen to me, we'll go together!"

　But what followed was Ye Chen's unquestionable voice.

　Upon hearing this, Kushina fell silent.

　Ye Chen used a kunai to cut Kushina's ropes, and after freeing herself, the two quietly prepared to leave.

　"Where do you want to go?" a cocky, playful male voice asked.

　Ye Chen froze, glancing out of the corner of his eye. He realized that the two Thunder Ninja who had just been resting had disappeared. It was a trap, and he had fallen for it.

　Looking further ahead, on a tall tree trunk, two dark-skinned Cloud Ninja stood, looking down at them with mocking expressions.

　"What should we do?" Kushina couldn't help but ask, her heart leaping into her throat.

　"Stand behind me! I'll protect you!" Ye Chen shielded Kushina behind him, his gaze fixed on the Cloud Ninja.

　"I thought Konoha would send some powerful ninjas, but it turns out to be just a brat? Heh, nothing special, is that all?" the leading Cloud Ninja mocked.

　He was tall and strong, wearing special leather armor made by the Cloud Village, and his skin was dark.

　The ninja next to me was relatively thin, but still much more agile than an ordinary person.

　The climate of the Hidden Cloud Village is warm and humid. The special geographical environment makes the people there have dark skin. In addition, the popularity of ninjutsu makes the people there look like bodybuilders!

　In terms of average physical strength, the Cloud Ninja are undoubtedly the best among the Five Great Nations, and also the greatest enemy threatening Konoha.

　"Broadly abducting a Konoha Jinchuriki, are you trying to start a second Shinobi World War?" Ye Chen said, secretly on guard.

　"The Ninja World War? Heh."

　(1/3)

　"Kid, strength reigns supreme wherever you are. Konoha is withering away, and you actually send a brat to fight our powerful Cloud Ninja. Heh, why isn't White Fang here?" the Cloud Ninja said.

　"Captain Armani, what else could it be? Konoha's afraid of White Fang breaking!" the lean Cloud Ninja couldn't help but mock.

　"Hahaha, you're right." Armani laughed.

　Ye Chen looked on coldly and said arrogantly, "If Konoha's White Fang were here, you lowly fry would be cut to pieces like vegetables."

　Just as simple.

　"Arrogant brat! White Fang isn't here, so I'll make an example of you!"

　Amazing arcs of electricity appeared on Armani's body surface, like a static electricity burst, causing every hair to stand on end.

　This is the ninjutsu of the Cloud Ninja, unparalleled in the ninja world!

　What is ninjutsu? It can be seen as fully utilizing chakra to activate the body on the basis of taijutsu, achieving amazing speed and attack effects.

　Taijutsu, in essence, is still physical attack and does not involve chakra.

　Whether it's Might Guy or Might Guy, the green and red flames that appear on their bodies when they use the Eight Gates are the water vapor heat energy produced by the ultimate release of human potential, not chakra.

　Only by opening the Eight Gates Formation, allowing the eight gates to flow as one, can chakra be generated spontaneously!

　It's similar to how a martial arts master opens up their Ren and Du meridians, generating internal energy on its own!

　Aside from the Eight Gates, taijutsu is honestly the trend among taijutsu ninjas, and it doesn't have many side effects!

　"Another Jonin!"

　Looking at the astonishing amount of chakra, with lightning almost tangible, Ye Chen knew that this Armani was a Jonin of the Cloud Ninja.

　It's likely that the Boar Ninja was severely injured by him!

　Conversely, that lean ninja is probably not that strong, at most at the level of an elite Chunin.

　"What are you thinking about? You brat, how dare you daydream in front of me!"

　With a flash of lightning, Armani instantly appeared in front of Ye Chen, his speed so fast it was almost overwhelming.

　"Such speed!" Ye Chen activated his Observation Haki, but even so, he was still a step too slow.

　Armani unleashed a punch imbued with the power of thunder, shouting:

　"Ninjutsu Technique: Lightning Explosion Fist!"

　"boom!"

　A tremendous force sent Ye Chen flying, his body crashing down like a cannonball, leaving a huge crater in the tree trunk. This was the force of the Yun Ninja's punch.

　"Yoshitsu!" Kushina shouted.

　"What a nuisance!" Armani casually swung his hand, sending Kushina flying with a powerful punch.

　He instantly appeared in front of the fallen Ye Chen, raised his right arm, which crackled with lightning and transformed into an electric spear, and grinned maliciously:

　"Not long ago, there was a ninja wearing a boar mask. I used this move to pierce his heart. Although he escaped, his heart was ruptured, and he was doomed. Now it's your turn."

　Ye Chen stared intently at Yun Ren, his expression filled with a final, defiant resentment.

　"Don't blame me, kid. There has never been true peace in the ninja world. You kill me, I kill you, it's been going on for hundreds of years, and who can change it!"

　Without hesitation, Armani plunged the electric spear directly into Ye Chen's heart!

　"Pfft!"

　Ye Chen's pupils dilated, bloodshot, and he coughed up blood.

　(2/3)

　"it's over!"

　Armani said calmly, seemingly surprised that he, a man who had killed countless people, now felt a slight sense of guilt.

　"Boss!"

　Suddenly, a painful cry rang out. Armani turned around and saw the lean ninja's face contorted in agony, a similar electric spear piercing his heart!

　"You killed my comrade!"

　"Now I've killed your companion too! This is reality!"

　Ye Chen's face appeared behind the lean ninja, and he gave Armani a devilish smile.

　"How is this possible? I clearly..." Armani turned around in disbelief to look at the pierced "Night Star".

　With a "bang!", Ye Chen's body turned into a wisp of white smoke and disappeared.

　Not only that, Kushina, who had just been swatted away and fallen to the ground, also turned into a piece of wood with a "thud"—it was a substitution jutsu! (3/3)

Chapter 46 Fierce Battle with the Thunder Ninja (Seeking flowers and favorites)

　Illusion. For a moment, Armani felt as if he were under an illusion, because everything before him was so unreal.

　He quickly sensed that the chakra within his body was circulating smoothly and methodically, and it didn't seem like he was under a genjutsu at all.

　If that's the case? Eliminating the illusion means that everything happening before our eyes is real!

　But that doesn't make sense. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is right under my nose, how could it be a clone? Then where is the real body?

　And this brat is also a shadow clone. More importantly, his subordinate was stabbed through the heart by the other party, which completely enraged him!

　"You brat, I'm going to kill you!" Armani roared, his whole body crackling with lightning, his eyes turning white with rage, devoid of any other color.

　Veins bulged on his face, and his clothes on his upper body shattered, revealing his mountain-like chest muscles.

　"hehe!"

　Ye Chen sneered, withdrew his lightning blade, and the lean ninja's eyes lost focus. He collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

　Killing a Chunin was an easy task for him!

　Even before coming to rescue Kushina, he had already created a shadow clone to confuse people!

　With his Observation Haki providing a warning, he didn't believe that the two Cloud Ninja were really resting.

　Therefore, everything was calculated and interconnected; if even one link went wrong, the plan would fail.

　"I must admit I underestimated you, which led to the death of my men, but you have no chance now."

　Armani said no more, stomping his foot on the ground and shattering it. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward, shouting:

　"Ninjutsu Technique: Thunderstorm Fist!"

　His fist was completely enveloped in lightning, and all the arcs of electricity exploded in an instant, as if it had transformed into a fist of lightning!

　Thunderstorm Fist is one of the most common techniques in ninjutsu. It uses lightning-style chakra to activate cells and stimulate muscles in a short period of time, causing a surge in speed!

　He used lightning-style chakra to fuel an extremely powerful sprint, coupled with an unstoppable punch, completely concentrating the chakra into his fist.

　"Shall we compete in strength?" Ye Chen murmured, his face revealing a fighting spirit.

　Even if the opponent is a Chunin! But in terms of strength, he believes he is no weaker than anyone else, and he shouts:

　Armament Haki: Harden!

　"Monstrous Strength: Spiral Force!"
