Naruto: Let the glory of the giants spread throughout the ninja world!

[Sand Chrysalis: A slave boy falls in love with his master. After encountering a giant serpent in the desert, he risks his life to hold it back. After fighting hand-to-hand with his mortal body for five minutes, he awakens the bloodline of a giant.]

The Sand Pupa is born solely for delay and survival, possessing powerful defense, agility, and sealing abilities.

[Specific abilities will be revealed to the host through bloodline instincts.]

On his way to Konoha, Ryukura Akira checked the information about his new form, but he frowned when he saw the Bloodline Instinct.

"If I project my consciousness onto the Primal Titan and enter a state of bloodline instinct, will I still have my rationality?"

[Bloodline exists wherever the host is locked in, and will act according to the host's obsession, no matter where it is.]

Oh, that means no, releasing the Primal Titan would drive it mad.

Whatever, it's perfect for the Third Hokage to join forces for a three-on-one battle against Orochimaru.

Their gazes shifted to Guy and Zabuza, who had arrived at the Hokage Building.

"That's the Four Purple Flame Array." Might Guy stood beside him, his green bodysuit fluttering in the air currents.

"I'll follow behind you." Zabuza drew his guillotine from behind his back, and Guy nodded. He took a deep breath, and then—

"Sixth Gate, the View Gate, open!"

Green chakra burned on his body, like a layer of transparent flame.

His hair stood on end from the blast wave, and the ground beneath his feet could not withstand the force, beginning to crack. Gravel was swept up by the blast wave and spun in the air.

But that wasn't enough. The purple flames of the Four Purple Flame Array remained completely still.

"The Seventh Gate," Kai's voice deepened, like a roar squeezed from his chest, "the Gate of Shock, open!"

boom--!

A visible shockwave exploded from his body, and his green chakra instantly turned blue, then white.

His body disappeared from the spot.

Before the air could even fill the void he left behind, it exploded with a loud bang, as if a hole had been torn open.

Zabuza saw a point suddenly appear on the purple light screen of the Four Purple Flames Formation—a white point compressed to the extreme, as dazzling as the sun.

Kai's voice echoed from that spot, "It's a Day Tiger!"

A white shockwave exploded from that point, condensing into the shape of a fierce tiger. The white tiger opened its huge mouth and pounced towards the purple light barrier of the Four Purple Flames Array.

"boom!!!"

The entire Hidden Leaf Village trembled at the moment of impact.

The purple light curtain trembled violently, and cracks spread outward from the point of impact. At the four corners of the Four Purple Flame Formation, the four Sound Ninja members simultaneously spat out a mouthful of blood. Their bodies were almost broken apart by the backlash, but they still stubbornly maintained their formation.

"Again!" Kai's roar came from the white light.

The second day tiger pounced, bigger, faster, and fiercer than the first.

The purple light barrier finally gave way and shattered like glass. Fragments of purple flames fell from the sky, turning into starlight and dissipating before they even hit the ground.

The Four Purple Flame Array shattered.

The Sound Four collapsed to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, and had lost their ability to fight.

Zabuza burst through the shattered light barrier, twirling his Executioner's Blade in his hand. "Can you still fight?"

Kai didn't answer. He was bent over, panting heavily, sweat and steam dripping from his face, but he gave Zabuza a thumbs up.

"Youth... is about burning brightly until the very last moment."

Ryukura Akira is working hard to develop a nuclear bomb, the Third Hokage is fighting Orochimaru to the death, and Guy is desperately shattering the Four Purple Flame Formation that initially seemed like an absolute defense.

Meanwhile, our Jiraiya-sama was still catching up with the Second Hokage.

"Crunch, crunch, this senbei is so delicious!" Naruto said, stuffing a handful of senbei into his mouth while watching the two middle-aged men fight.

"Of course, this is Xiaoming's favorite snack, so I always carry it with me." Bai replied with a smile while taking out a handkerchief to wipe Naruto's dirty face, which was covered in dirt from the battle.

"Gaara, have some too!" Naruto said with a grin, handing the bag to the red-haired boy who was lying on the ground looking at the sky.

Gaara stared at the bag for a moment, then slowly reached out his hand.

A golden cudgel slammed down directly!

Orochimaru dodged at a twisted angle, then stuck out his tongue and used the Kusanagi sword to block Zabuza's Executioner's Blade.

The situation on the field was Orochimaru versus Hiruzen Sarutobi and Zabuza, and the reanimated First Hokage versus Might Guy.
