Menma's inner desire also grew stronger.

"Snapped!"

With a single hand gesture.

Slight spatial vibration.

The moment a crimson light burst forth.

"This is!?"

In the blink of an eye, the figure of Menma suddenly disappeared from the front.

As Naruto's pupils suddenly contracted...

Fukasaku, the toad on the left shoulder, also reacted in less than a fraction of a second.

"Retreat! Naruto!!"

The toad's entire body shuddered.

Fukasaku immediately shouted back.

"Whoosh!"

But it was just a moment before Fukasaku shouted it out.

It's located to Naruto's right and slightly in front of him.

A crimson figure flashed into view.

Thor's sword raised high.

At close range.

They aimed directly at Naruto's vital points.

"Shh!"

At the angle of a sudden downward thrust.

"!?"

A surprise attack at the extreme distance.

This is far beyond the so-called speed limit.

Even the fastest reflexes would struggle to cope with such a situation.

Naruto could only rely on his senses in Sage Mode to instinctively dodge.

"Swish"

The kunai, swung in unison, attempted to intercept Xia Ma's attack mid-flight. In the blink of an eye, the intersecting shadows of cold blades were an attack that could not be blocked this time.

"Keng"

Even a mere sliver of the sword's edge that barely managed to brush against it.

More importantly, it's only possible to dodge by a tiny bit of space.

"Pfft!"

Despite the numbing pain, the Thunder God's Sword still struck its target. Although it avoided vital areas, it still pierced directly into Naruto's left abdomen.

Pierced skin.

A chilling feeling spread upwards.

The pain of synchronous nerve tremors.

'Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!'

There was also the lightning release technique deliberately activated by Menma, although it wasn't the fastest kind.

But with the Thor's Sword.

"what!?"

The pain intensified further.

Even Naruto couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Their expressions turned incredibly painful at that moment.

"Naruto!"

A powerful attack that lasted less than a second.

This is the initial damage caused.

Fukasaku and Shima, the toads standing on Naruto's shoulders, both changed their expressions and simultaneously clapped their hands together.

"Immortal Technique - Wind Buddha Technique!"

"Celestial Technique - Toad Oil Refining!"

The unique techniques of Mount Myōboku, which are mutually compatible.

At an angle directly facing strong pressure.

"Whoosh!"

Menma also manipulated the Nine-Tails' chakra, directly forming a giant fox tail in front of him.

"boom!"

The attack was blocked.

however.

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss!!!"

Then came a deafening explosion, followed by a powerful, rapidly spreading corrosive force.

A barrier that can be penetrated.

It flew directly towards the dough in the lower position.

His pockmarked face also hardened.

In situations where there is no time for a second response.

Mianma could only pull horizontally at will, and then draw out Thor's sword in a flash, his own figure also flashing backward.

"Shh!"

"Pfft!"

The attack was dodged.

The wound caused by the second pulling.

"Wow!"

Even though they avoided the most fatal attack, Fukasaku and Shima, the two toads, prevented Menma from launching a further fatal attack.

Naruto himself took this opportunity to once again create a safe distance.

However, the terrible wound on his abdomen and the large amount of blood that gushed out instantly weakened Naruto's aura.

"This is my father's Flying Thunder God Technique..."

But compared to the spell that Mianma had just unleashed, all of these seemed so insignificant.

Naruto stared at the figure not far away, whose face still held a cold expression. A look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, which were shimmering with a pale golden halo.

"The Flying Thunder God Technique? The space-time technique created by that little Tobirama, and only Minato later mastered it?"

Above the right shoulder.

Shima also said with a look of shock.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that little guy on the other side could master it too. This is troublesome. With this technique, they can attack anytime, anywhere. Naruto, let's retreat. We can't keep this stalemate going, or we'll have a hard time protecting you."

The toad took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression.

With the blessing of the Nine-Tails' chakra.

Menma's original strength was already enough to overpower Naruto, and now he has the Flying Thunder God Technique, a bug-like skill. Even though Fukasaku could see that Menma wasn't quite adept at using this technique.

But ultimately, the effect was a bit too abnormal.

Traveling through space.

It's truly impossible to guard against!

Even the Fourth Raikage, who was incredibly fast, almost died at Minato's hands. It was only because Killer Bee was also present at the time that the two brothers could cover for each other, making it very difficult for Minato to break through their defenses.

Otherwise, it would be one-on-one.

Killer Bee could withstand Minato's attack with his terrifying defensive power after transforming into the Eight-Tails, but the Fourth Raikage, A, would definitely have died there.

Lightning-attribute chakra armor offers very strong defense.

However, Minato's attack can definitely break through the defense.

Naruto's current situation is similar to that of the Fourth Raikage. When facing the Flying Thunder God Technique, his speed is simply not enough. Unless he reaches the extreme level of Might Guy, he can't rely solely on physical speed and reaction to fight against this kind of space-time jutsu.

Otherwise, the only result will be getting beaten up all the time.

Naruto was also very aware of this.

'Is it still not enough? Is this level of strength still insufficient to catch up?!'

Naruto bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes, which shimmered with golden light, filled with resentment.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in that instant.

That decision that I couldn't make up my mind for so long.

"Naruto!!"

When Fukasaku saw that Naruto was still hesitant, he suddenly became anxious.

The words were shouted out in a loud voice.

Naruto shivered instantly, his eyes regaining their clarity in that instant.
