Dragon Ball, simultaneously traversing countless worlds

Offstage, Shikamaru patted Choji on the shoulder and said, "Choji, Ino and I both lost our exams. You better show some real skill, or you'll tarnish the reputation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and lose to Naruto too."

Choji squinted and spread his hands, revealing fleshy mounds on his palms, like those of a bear.

Choji clapped his hands and said confidently, "Shikamaru, don't worry, I won't lose. My Paw Ball ability can deflect any attack and bounce away any injury. Naruto can't beat me."

Shikamaru shook his head: "Don't underestimate Naruto. He hangs out with Sakura and Sasuke every day, so he probably has some hidden trump cards. You'd better be careful!"

Chapter 345 Choji Akimichi's Devil Fruit Ability

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage stared intently at the crystal ball, watching Naruto and Choji walk onto the training field.

"Choji is a tough kid to deal with. I wonder if Naruto has learned the Rasengan yet. If he can master the Rasengan, he might have a chance of winning. If not..."

The Third Hokage's influence was behind Sakura teaching Naruto the Rasengan.

The Third Hokage was worried that Naruto, who lacked a trump card, would not be able to pass the test, so he deliberately sent Sakura to teach Naruto.

The reason why Naruto wasn't given any random ninjutsu to practice was that he was given the Rasengan.

Firstly, the Third Hokage was unsure of Naruto's chakra nature and feared that the ninjutsu he was given would not be suitable for Naruto to train, which is why he gave him the Rasengan, which has no chakra nature.

Secondly, the Rasengan was invented by the Fourth Hokage, Naruto's father, so passing it on to Naruto can be considered a form of inheritance.

Returning his father's technique to his son—even if Danzo and the other two advisors knew about this and wanted to interfere, they wouldn't have a reason to do so.

The Third Hokage silently smoked his cigarette: "The Rasengan, even if Naruto has already learned it, it will still be very difficult for him to deal with Choji. That kid's ability is just too unbelievable."

Ninja Academy training grounds...

Naruto and Choji completed their opposing hand seals and assumed attack stances.

Choji spread his hands out, squatted down like a sumo wrestler, bent over, and presented his palms to Naruto.

Naruto, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed the peculiar fleshy ball on Choji's palm.

"A fleshy ball growing in the palm of the hand, could it be the Paw-Paw Fruit from the One Piece world?"

Naruto frowned slightly; this Paw-Paw Fruit was not easy to deal with.

Unlike the spiritual pressure of Shinigami and the demonic power of Yokai, which require training, Devil Fruit abilities in the world of One Piece take effect immediately upon consuming the fruit.

The extent to which a Devil Fruit ability can be exerted generally depends on one's imagination and physical strength. As long as one has a sufficiently big imagination and physical strength, the Devil Fruit ability can be displayed to a very powerful degree.

Choji happens to be a taijutsu ninja, although his physical strength is far inferior to that of the three admirals of the Navy, as well as those vice admirals and rear admirals.

But he was at least equivalent to a colonel, and his physical strength was on par with Tashigi's.

With his physical strength, Choji is comparable to a Marine Captain. In addition, with the overpowered abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit, he is at least at the level of a Vice Admiral.

The navy's organizational structure is divided into marshals, admirals, vice admirals, rear admirals, colonels, majors, and privates.

A vice admiral is already a pillar of the navy, capable of easily suppressing the entire East Blue in the world of One Piece.

If the Fleet Admiral's strength is comparable to that of a Kage, then an Admiral would be comparable to a Kage, and a Vice Admiral would be at the level of an elite Jonin.

Of course, this conversion of position to strength is not accurate, at least not for Garp. As a vice admiral, his strength is not necessarily weaker than that of a Kage in the Naruto world.

If Garp the Iron Fist were to fight Hashirama Senju, they would probably be evenly matched.

"Come on, Naruto, attack!"

Choji, seeing that Naruto hadn't made a move yet, provoked him with words.

Naruto chuckled, "You want me to make the first move? Fine, I'll grant your wish."

Naruto casually flicked a kunai, which pierced Choji's palm with lightning speed.

The Paw-Paw Fruit is indeed overpowered, as it can deflect any attack. However, it also has a drawback: the user must use the paw pad on their palm to deflect the attack; other parts of the body cannot deflect attacks.

Naruto used kunai to test Choji, wanting to see how fast Choji's nerves reacted and whether he could block his attack with his flesh ball.

Naruto's strength was immense; the kunai he hurled reached supersonic speed, tearing through the air and whistling as it pierced Choji's thigh.

A kunai thrown by a typical ninja is considered to have considerable force if it penetrates five centimeters into the flesh.

Naruto's kunai could probably pierce through a human body, go through a concrete wall, and shoot through a tree without any problem.

If Choji hadn't been able to stop him in time, having a hole pierced through his thigh muscle would have been the lightest outcome; a broken leg bone would have been the real serious injury.

Choji's squinting eyes snapped open, and his left hand shot out with lightning speed, precisely blocking the kunai.

The sharp kunai pierced Choji's fleshy palm, then spun 180 degrees and reflected back at the same speed it had come from, heading straight for Naruto.

Naruto, who was prepared, had already left his original position. The kunai, which missed its target, hit the concrete wall of the training ground, and the entire kunai, including the handle, disappeared into the concrete wall.

"Not bad reaction speed," Naruto praised.

The kunai, which has a firing speed reaching the speed of sound, is about the same speed as a bullet leaving the barrel. The fact that Choji could stop the kunai shows that his nerve reflexes are capable of blocking bullets with his bare hands.

Just by looking at Choji's face covered in cold sweat, it was clear that he had actually accepted the task with great difficulty.

"You can catch one of my kunai, but can you catch ten or twenty?"

Naruto formed hand seals: "Shadow Clone Technique!"

In an instant, a white mist burst forth in the training ground, and a total of twenty Narutos stood in a fan shape opposite Choji.

Each Naruto has eight kunai between his fingers, and when twenty Narutos attack together, they will have a total of one hundred and sixty kunai.

Ding Ci's expression suddenly changed, and he cried out in alarm.

The instant Naruto made his move, Choji immediately unleashed his family's ninjutsu, Human Bomber Tank.

One hundred and sixty kunai were shot toward Choji at an astonishing speed, but Choji curled up into a huge ball of flesh and began to spin rapidly in place.

The kunai spikes were immediately bounced off the spinning ball of flesh. Since they weren't bounced off by a Devil Fruit ability, the kunai didn't return the way they came, and Naruto's clone was unharmed.

The kunai, having been thrown back, lost most of its kinetic energy and clattered to the ground. Although it accidentally injured a few students watching the battle, it did not cause any particularly serious injuries.

Mizuki-sensei moved his students 100 meters away from the battlefield, creating a huge space for Naruto and Choji to fight.

On the training field, Naruto's clones continuously threw kunai. One volley consisted of 160 kunai, and after 30 volleys, Naruto had thrown out more than 4,000 kunai.

Choji dared not stand still and take the beating. He spurred his body and rolled towards Naruto's shadow clone, crushing it like a chariot.

Shadow clones cannot inherit Naruto's powerful physique, so they cannot withstand Choji's overwhelming force.

The twenty clones were quickly wiped out, and Choji, the giant meatball, finally crashed into Naruto's main body.

"Spiral pills!"

Naruto raised his right hand, and a rapidly spinning ball of chakra appeared in his palm.

He didn't infuse much chakra, and the Rasengan he created was only the size of a basketball.

The rapidly spinning Rasengan collided with the rapidly spinning Choji, and the two were thrown away by their own force, just like spinning tops.

Naruto slid backward, retreating five or six meters.

Choji was sent flying more than ten meters away by the Rasengan.

Choji released his ninjutsu and returned to normal size, now covered in wounds.

Even as he spun at high speed, he was not invincible. More than four thousand kunai slashed his clothes, leaving him covered in wounds.

On his back, there was a spiral-shaped tear, an injury caused by Naruto's Rasengan.

"Naruto, you're amazing. Now I can fight without holding back."

Choji ignored his own injuries and spoke to Naruto in a relaxed tone.

Choji didn't take the initiative to attack before, mainly because he was too gentle and didn't want to hurt Naruto. However, after discovering that Naruto was quite strong, Choji decided to show his true strength.

Shikamaru is right. With Ino and Shikamaru both losing the exam, only his victory can prevent the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho from being disgraced.

Choji slapped himself with his palm, expelling his injuries and pain, which formed a semi-transparent, red bear paw-shaped airball in the air.

Then Choji took out a scroll from his ninja tool bag, formed hand seals, and sealed the bear paw air ball, which was full of injuries and pain, into the scroll.

Choji's injuries had all disappeared, and apart from some physical exhaustion, he showed no signs of distress.

Naruto frowned as he watched Choji's actions.

Choji's sealing technique combined with the Paw-Paw Fruit's power is practically a bug among bugs.

By deflecting injuries and pain and storing them away, Choji could never get injured as long as his stamina didn't run out.

The injuries and pain he stored could also be used as a means of fighting enemies. Looking at the densely packed 'seal' characters on Choji's scroll, he couldn't even imagine how many injuries and pains Choji had stored.

If all of this were released at once, even if Naruto had an iron body and could withstand the injuries, he would still be affected by the extreme pain and become distracted, or even faint.

Chapter 346 The Weakness of the Paw-Paw Fruit

Naruto was worried that Choji would use the scroll that sealed his injuries and pain against him.

After sealing his injuries, Danteji simply put the scroll back into his ninja tool pouch.

"Alright, Naruto, let's start the battle again. This time it's my turn to attack."

Choji's expression turned serious, and he clapped his hands in the air.

Suddenly, many translucent bear paw-shaped bubbles appeared in front of him.

"Pressure cannon!"

Choji gently tapped one of the bubbles.

Suddenly, the bubble disappeared and rushed towards Naruto at an extremely fast speed.

Naruto reacted quickly and avoided the bubbles.

The bubble hit the ground behind Naruto, creating a huge bear paw print.

Seeing this, Choji continued to pop bubbles, this time sending more than twenty bubbles densely towards Naruto.

Naruto dodged at high speed, but only managed to avoid nineteen bubbles before being hit by the last one.

The bear paw pressure cannon struck Naruto's body like a solid cannonball hitting him.

Naruto swayed slightly, feeling a tightness in his chest and a slight pain, but nothing serious.

An ordinary ninja has high attack, high agility, and low defense. If he takes a hit from Choji's pressure cannon, he will definitely cough up blood and be unable to get up.

Naruto withstood a pressure cannon shot, only swaying slightly, which Choji found incredibly unbelievable.
