Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

But Might Guy knew very well that even with the addition of the three members of Team 3, they would still be no match for Itachi Uchiha.

However, Kisame Hoshigaki is not an easy enemy to defeat; the only option is to defeat him as quickly as possible before sending reinforcements to Sasuke and the others.

Just as Might Guy and Kisame Hoshigaki were locked in fierce combat.

Naruto's Great Rasengan and Deidara's C0 self-destruct exploded with a deafening roar!

Because they hadn't gone far, the battlefield between Might Guy and Kisame Hoshigaki was still within a range of more than ten kilometers!

then--

Rumbling--

Boom! ! !

The violent blast wave crashed down, startling even Might Guy and Kisame Hoshigaki, who immediately tried to dodge and defend themselves.

However, it wasn't just the explosion that followed; what followed was the terrifying destructive power of Naruto's Great Rasengan!

With the explosion of multiple profound techniques—flowing, rotating, extremely compressed, and cutting—terrifying wind blades poured down endlessly, destroying everything in their path and severing all things in the universe!

Might Guy threw a punch, tearing up the ground in front of him in an attempt to block the shockwave and wind blades, but it was quickly blasted and cut apart.

He quickly retreated and hid behind a boulder.

Kisame Hoshigaki was equally shocked and quickly clasped his hands together, forming a hand seal.

"Water Release: Exploding Water Wave!"

He attempted to use the impact of water escape to counteract the residual force of the explosion.

In an instant, a fierce wind arose, explosions roared, and giant waves surged, turning the entire battlefield into a scene of devastation and ruin!

"what is that?!"

Kisame Hoshigaki stood on the surging waves, his brow furrowed as he gazed into the distance.

Matt Kai broke out in a cold sweat.

"Is that Naruto's technique?"

"That's terrifying—"

At that moment, the members of Team 3 who had caught up with Sasuke were about to dissuade him when they were also shocked by the shockwave and turned around to look.

Boom! ! !

Sasuke had no choice but to cover his face with his arm, but he was still blasted away by the shockwave.

Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, and Tenten also lost their footing and staggered backward!

"Then, what is that?!"

Sasuke suddenly realized something.

"Could that be Naruto...?"

"The Great Spiral Wheel?!"

Sasuke had seen Naruto unleash this move before, on the sea outside Kirigakure.

I even gave Naruto some pointers back then, and he successfully helped him unleash it for the first time.

Although it was not perfect, the aftershocks of that explosion spread for more than ten kilometers. The entire sea seemed to be boiled, with howling winds and surging waves. The power was unimaginable!

This feeling now is very similar to what I felt back then!

However, there is another kind of pure explosive power!

That must be the ability of another Akatsuki ninja.

Tenten was shocked: "What? You mean, that's Naruto's power?!"

Rock Lee and Neji also changed their expressions.

Sasuke didn't answer, but finally stopped and stood silently in place, looking up at the mushroom cloud that shot into the sky.

Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, and Tenten did not ask any further questions.

I could only secretly wonder what Sasuke was thinking at that moment.

At least, he temporarily gave up pursuing Itachi Uchiha.

It's always a good thing.

The way Hyuga Neji looked at Sasuke seemed to reveal his thoughts.

Because I've had similar feelings before.

That's probably because...

Naruto's unimaginable strength made Sasuke suddenly realize his own shortcomings.

In this state, I truly lacked the ability to kill Itachi Uchiha.

The competition with Naruto, and the overwhelming brilliance of Naruto, made Sasuke feel inferior, but also made him reflect on himself and become more cautious, which helped him calm down again.

Although Rock Lee didn't fully understand, and his mind wasn't as perceptive as Neji Hyuga's, he vaguely sensed some of the reasons behind it.

"As expected, only Naruto could dissuade Sasuke..."

He thought to himself.

Tian Tian agrees with this.

"It was Naruto who intervened before to bring Sasuke back from his defection, and this time will be no exception..."

Sasuke stared silently at the explosion for a long, long time.

It wasn't until the gale subsided, the smoke cleared, and the dust settled that the storm ended.

He finally whispered, "Let's go."

The three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard him say that.

Rock Lee said, "That's great, Sasuke! You've finally calmed down!"

"Let's hurry and go support Guy-sensei and Naruto!"

Sasuke remained silent, but nodded nonetheless.

So the group turned back the way they came.

at this time.

The fierce battle between Might Guy and Kisame Hoshigaki continues.

However, both of them were preoccupied with their own thoughts due to the shock of the previous explosion and had no intention of continuing the fight.

Seeing Sasuke and Team 3 return, Might Guy breathed a sigh of relief, but also had the same thought of quickly going to support Naruto.

I wonder if Naruto will be alright after that explosion...

Kisame Hoshigaki smiled sinisterly: "It seems today is not a good time for a decisive battle."

"Then let's settle this next time, rare beast."

I hope you still remember me.

After saying this, Kisame Hoshigaki shouldered his greatsword Samehada and rode away on the waves.

Matt Kai did not give chase.

"Let's go! Let's check on Naruto!"

Sasuke was actually more anxious than the others, but he didn't show it. Instead, he rushed out without looking back.

The closer they got, the more shocked they became.

Within this area of more than ten kilometers, nothing grows there anymore, as if we have returned to the primitive era before the birth of all things. It is desolate, empty, chaotic, and in complete disarray!

Especially as they got closer to Naruto, the ground was completely transformed into a massive, bottomless, and boundless crater, where everything was utterly destroyed and annihilated.

It was like a meteorite crashing down, or a volcanic eruption, with a deafening earthquake—comparable to any terrifying natural disaster!

"Naruto……"

Seeing this, Sasuke couldn't help but become more worried.

Although the two always argue when they meet, and are always sarcastic and bickering, they both understand that they are each other's only true confidants.

Naruto is like this, and Sasuke is actually the same.

That was something beyond ordinary companions and friends.

It's a bond that can only be felt between each other.

Because only they understand each other's loneliness and pain.

Sasuke closed his eyes, and the image of Itachi Uchiha flashed by for a moment before Naruto's image remained in his mind.

"Before I completely defeat you..."

"They must not die!"

He further increased his chakra and power, moving at extreme speed, and quickly approached the battlefield where Naruto was.

"over there!"

Neji activated his Byakugan and finally spotted Naruto.

The group immediately gave chase and saw a weakened Naruto still guarding Gaara's body.

Naruto smiled when he saw Sasuke and his group arrive.

"Thank goodness, Sasuke, you're back..."

The next moment, he collapsed straight down.

"Naruto!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

However, Naruto then vanished into white smoke with a bang.

"Hmm? Shadow clone?"

This Naruto is the shadow clone that was created earlier to protect Gaara's corpse.

At the moment of the explosion, Naruto, the shadow clone, did his best to protect Gaara, but he could no longer hold on and finally disappeared completely.

"Where is Naruto's real body?!"

Sasuke frowned.

That's when.

A figure descended from the sky, panting heavily.

"Sasuke, Sasuke..."

"I am here."

Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't rush forward like Lee and the others.

Now he stood alone behind the crowd.

He didn't want to appear so worried.

What happened with that explosion?

"Is it your Great Spiral Wheel?"

Naruto had exhausted all his chakra and strength, and could barely stand. Rock Lee and Neji Hyuga quickly supported him on either side.
