The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

Terrifying muscles visible to the naked eye.

And there was also the intense purple aura that rose up around it.

"Peng!"

A fireball hurtling straight at you.

The flesh that was covered below.

Under normal circumstances, it would be a sure thing to be completely consumed by the flames.

However, Itachi Uchiha had a cold and stern expression, no longer showing his previous indifference and composure. His gaze was fixed on Shennong, who was enveloped in flames.

as predicted.

Just one second later.

Hahahaha!!!

Amidst the raging flames.

Then a burst of wild laughter erupted.

"Boom!"

After a powerful and intense earthquake.

Suddenly.

The flames were directly deflected.

The exposed figure was completely different from Shennong before, now exuding an extremely violent aura. Most terrifying of all were the more than ten thin, purple, tentacle-like, filthy creatures protruding from his face.

There are also layers upon layers of special purple downy hairs covering the lower body area.

Upon closer inspection, it's clear that this being is practically inhuman.

More importantly, there was the skyrocketing chakra aura.

It was obvious that Shennong was becoming much stronger. Kisame Hoshigaki raised an eyebrow and looked at Shennong, whose appearance had completely changed, with a look of surprise.

Mianma, who had just stealthily moved to the side, also showed a slight look of surprise, knowing that he was about to make a move just now.

After all, Shennong's demeanor clearly indicated that game over was imminent.

But I didn't expect them to have another trump card up their sleeve.

'Could that thing be a Zero-tailed creature still in development?'

The thought of that purple, reptile-like thing he had just seen popped into Mianma's head.

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.

In the original story, Shennong's greatest reliance was that thing.

They even thought it could rival the tailed beasts, and even believed its potential surpassed that of the tailed beasts.

At this stage, it is clear that the cultivation has not been fully successful yet. But can this thing be swallowed whole and then combined?

His pockmarked brows furrowed slightly.

However, Menma thought about it again. Shennong had raised Zero-Tails as a tailed beast, and tailed beasts could be sealed into ninjas to serve as jinchūriki.

Shennong's current practice may seem absurd, but it was ultimately something he cultivated himself.

Very normal!

'It's a special kind of demonic transformation, isn't it? We'll have to see to what extent it can be activated.'

Mianma looked at Shennong, who had already taken the initiative to attack, and muttered to himself.

Mianma is having a good time here.

Kisame and Itachi below felt an extremely strong aura of pressure coming towards them. If Kisame could easily suppress or even toy with Shennong before, now that Shennong had entered berserk mode, he was enough to put a certain amount of pressure on the two of them.

Even a single misstep could be fatal.

Kisame!

"Oh! I know, Itachi-san!"

A calm call conveys a meaning that can be immediately understood.

We've worked together for years and are teammates with whom we share a strong sense of identification.

Itachi often only needs a glance for Kisame to clearly understand what he should do.

Facing the onslaught of Shennong.

The two people quickly separated.

"Humph!"

Kisame Hoshigaki unleashed a chakra surge far more powerful than before.

"boom!"

In the midst of rage.

A chilling aura permeated the air.

Kisame grinned maliciously as he swung his Samehada sword with incredible speed, charging head-on towards Shennong who was charging towards him.

Chapter 361 An Unexpected Development

The clashes became increasingly fierce.

It was a battle that was almost inhuman.

Although it is not a fully cultivated Zero-Tail, Shennong still managed to forcefully unleash all the potential of his body. In the current mode, Shennong is definitely a worthy Kage-level powerhouse.

Moreover, they weren't just goalkeepers; they were at least above average in terms of ability, facing such an opponent.

Kisame was far from being as composed as before.

The Samehada sword is wielded with great force.

The blows landed on Shennong's body again and again.

"boom!"

"Clang!"

However, all of them were blocked by the tentacles on the outer side of Shennong. Most importantly, Samehada's invincible chakra absorption ability actually failed inside Shennong.

That's also based on this point.

The fight between the two became even more brutal.

Even Mianma, who was watching from a slightly farther distance, was amazed. He really hadn't expected Shennong to be this strong. After all, if he had to say, among the villainous bosses who appeared individually in the original work, Shennong was definitely one of the weakest. Whether it was his own strength or the Zero-Tail he cultivated, his upper limit was just that.

Therefore, in this stage...

Mianma really didn't think Shennong would cause any trouble.

Menma only values ​​the legacy of the Sky Country represented by Shennong.

However, looking at it now...

Shennong was indeed quite capable.

While it's unclear whether directly absorbing the 'Zero-Tails' has any side effects, at least its current Kage-level strength is undeniable, placing it firmly at the top of the ninja world.

however.

'It's still not enough...'

Menma looked at Kisame and Shennong, who seemed to be evenly matched at the moment, and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes. He said to himself in a low voice.

Let's not even mention Itachi Uchiha.

Kisame Hoshigaki's full power is absolutely top-tier Kage-level (with Samehada sword).

Shennong alone could not possibly defeat Kisame.

In the original work, Might Guy has already proven this with his own strength.

Moreover, judging from the current battle...

With Menma's current strength and combat experience, it's easy to accurately judge that the gap between the two is quite obvious.

At first, they were evenly matched; it was merely a brief burst of power from Shennong and Kisame's adaptation process.

Uchiha Itachi remained the same as before.

While there was some side-stepping cooperation in the initial exchanges, as the battle progressed, the limits were clearly visible.

Uchiha Itachi then returned to his position of holding the line.

Shennong's fighting style and strength were completely seen through.

"boom!"

A heavy blow coming straight at you.

Kisame immediately switched to an offensive stance.

The gleaming, powerful central defense swept open, directly seizing the opening, and the massive Samehada sword swung down in one fell swoop.

This time, while swiftly swatting away the tentacles, it actually struck Shennong squarely on his left shoulder.

"Crack!"

"Pfft!"

Flesh and blood bursting open, tendons and bones breaking off.

Compare it to the splattered blood.

Shennong's expression also twisted instantly.

This was clearly a battle that far exceeded Shennong's expectations. Based on the intensity of the previous battles, Shennong thought that with his greatly increased strength, he would be able to fight two opponents at once. Not to mention the shark-faced man in front of him, even the famous Uchiha clan's ultimate rogue ninja, Uchiha Itachi, would definitely not be his enemy.

But what about now?
