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

"go to hell!"

He suddenly swung the huge shuriken and thrust it fiercely down at Naruto!

however……

"Go away!"

Naruto's killing intent erupts!

With his chakra perfectly fused with that of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Naruto roared, his aura surging, and he kicked out fiercely, ignoring the pain, directly striking the giant shuriken!

boom--

The giant shuriken was kicked away.

However, Naruto's own right leg was also cut by the sharp edge of the shuriken, and blood gushed out!

But at this moment, he couldn't even feel the pain of the lightning strikes anymore...

Let alone mere flesh wounds?!

At this moment, Mizuki was brought to face-to-face with Naruto, feeling his murderous intent and the terrifying aura of Naruto, like a calamity-like tailed beast. Only then did he truly feel fear and despair for the first time...

"you you……"

"Do not kill me……"

However, the Naruto before them was no longer the Naruto who would still show mercy.

After these days of transformation and rebirth, Naruto has already understood...

When should you stop?

when……

Show absolutely no mercy!

A murderous intent erupted!

Naruto roared, and with the surge of violent power, the boost from the Nine-Tailed Fox's chakra, the fighting spirit and killing intent fueled by his rampaging rage, and the amplification from his "Stamina Monster" attribute, everything converged and coalesced into this final and most terrifying strike...

"Konoha Tornado!"

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, the force of the blow struck Shui Mu squarely on the side of his head, near his temple. A burst of violent power erupted instantly, and with a crack in his neck, he was sent flying!

boom--

Mizuki's neck twisted horribly, his face contorted in a grimace as he collapsed to the ground. His legs twitched a few times before he finally fell silent...

Die now!

Chapter 56 The Shocking Hiruzen Sarutobi! Kurama's Transformation! Requesting monthly votes!!!

There was dead silence.

Iruka and the Anbu ninjas were all dumbfounded, speechless, staring at the completely lifeless Mizuki!

Naruto was still panting heavily.

The baptism of lightning continues.

However, his own rage, combined with the chakra leaked from the Nine-Tailed Fox, created a double dose of malevolence that made him seem unable to feel the intense pain.

only……

At this point, Naruto had truly reached his limit.

His eyes burned like fire, and the scenery before him became completely blurred.

He looked at Iruka, who was also lying on the ground, as if he were muttering to himself.

"Iruka-sensei...are you alright...?"

After saying that, Naruto completely fainted.

"Naruto!"

Upon seeing this, Iruka turned pale, forgetting all the excruciating pain and injuries in his chest.

A strange surge of heat and power erupted.

He frantically mustered all his strength, trembling as he stood up again, and gritted his teeth as he slowly moved towards Naruto's direction...

"Naruto...please, please don't let anything happen to you!"

Iruka was overwhelmed by a mix of emotions, including worry, fear, self-blame, and guilt, making it difficult for him to remain rational.

Just then, the ANBU ninja finally rushed forward to check on Naruto's condition.

"Iruka, don't get agitated, Naruto should be fine."

"He just ran out of chakra and strength and passed out..."

"Ok?"

Iruka had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the surprised exclamation from the Anbu, and his heart jumped again.

"What, what happened?!"

The ANBU ninja frowned deeply: "Naruto seems to have been hit by a powerful lightning release attack..."

"However, this shouldn't have been caused by Mizuki. That bastard doesn't know any Lightning Release, and he didn't use any Lightning Release ninjutsu just now..."

"it's wired……"

"Is Naruto alright?!"

"Don't worry, this lightning release seems intense, but it actually seems quite restrained and didn't really seriously injure Naruto. This feeling seems familiar..."

"It's exactly like the torture methods Captain Ibiki Morino used..."

Iruka finally managed to reach Naruto.

She then collapsed next to Naruto, unable to hold on any longer.

He gazed at that youthful yet pain-ridden and haggard face, and a complex mix of emotions welled up within him…

"Naruto, I originally wanted to protect you, but unexpectedly, you ended up saving my life instead..."

"I'm such a failure as a teacher..."

"But……"

"You really shouldn't have taken such a big risk for me..."

"Oh, I..."

The ANBU ninja patted Iruka on the shoulder.

"Let's talk about these things later. We need to go back to Konoha Village immediately and tell the Hokage everything."

Fortunately, the reinforcements from the Anbu arrived late.

Everyone was shocked to see Mizuki, Iruka, and especially Naruto lying on the ground!

To be honest, even if Mizuki successfully defected, or even if Iruka died, it wouldn't have much impact on Konoha...

But what if Naruto dies...?

All these Anbu members who are normally responsible for monitoring and protecting Naruto will be committing the most serious dereliction of duty, with unimaginable consequences!

After all, he was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki of Konoha!

Only after hearing their companions' explanation did they feel relieved.

Some people helped Iruka up, some carried Naruto, and others cleaned up Mizuki's body. Together, they sped back towards Konoha Village.

By now, the night had gradually faded.

Dawn is approaching.

Iruka gazed at the faint light falling on Naruto's pale face, his heart aching, and two tears finally slid down his cheeks...

……

In the Hokage's office.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at the scene before him, he couldn't help but take a few deep drags on his pipe.

Naruto's condition, in particular, caused his old face to twitch slightly.

Those members of the secret service were also dejected.

"Lord Hokage, it was our negligence that put Naruto in danger. Please punish us!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

"Iruka, are you alright?"

Iruka hurriedly said, "I, I'm fine, Hokage-sama, please check on Naruto's condition first!"

"He He……"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Don't worry, I've already checked."

"Naruto will be alright."

He glanced at Shui Mu's corpse, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

"I never expected Naruto to kill Mizuki..."

"No matter what, he's a Chunin, while Naruto is just a kid who hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy yet..."

"Did Naruto unleash the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox within him?"

The Anbu members in the Hokage's office, or Iruka, were all trusted confidants, so Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't hold back.

In fact, it was Hiruzen Sarutobi himself who initially asked Iruka to take care of Naruto.

The ANBU ninja said, "Naruto did indeed have some Tailed Beast chakra leaking from him at the time, but..."

"His strength probably didn't just come from the Nine-Tailed Fox within him; most of it was still his own power. Naruto in that state, because he was so worried about Iruka and also hated Mizuki, was indeed quite terrifying when his killing intent erupted..."

Iruka nodded.

"However, Naruto did not completely go berserk. Although he was indeed somewhat crazy and controlled by the Tailed Beast's ferocity, he still managed to control himself."

"is it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi exclaimed in admiration, "It's not just his own strength; it seems Naruto's grasp of the situation in actual combat is also extremely strong..."

"A true powerhouse, in the heat of battle, should be in a state of high morale and boiling killing intent, yet not be completely overwhelmed by this ferocity..."

Iruka added, "Naruto has indeed been working incredibly hard lately, he..."

"He saved my life..."

"Lord Hokage, you asked me to take care of Naruto, but I ended up dragging him down with me and making him save my life instead. I'm so useless..."

Iruka burst into tears, filled with remorse.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

“Iruka, don’t blame yourself. I know you discovered Mizuki’s plot first because you cared about Naruto. You did nothing wrong.”

"If anyone is truly guilty, it is myself."

"Sigh, I went to see Naruto myself, but that brat tricked me. I didn't see through his shadow clone and he slipped right under my nose. It's my incompetence..."

"Lord Hokage..."

"Alright, let's not talk about blaming each other anymore..."

"The important thing is, what to do next..."

The ANBU ninjas exchanged a glance.

"Lord Hokage, Naruto witnessed this with his own eyes; it's unlikely to be concealed..."

"Besides, Mizuki is a teacher at the Ninja Academy after all. His sudden disappearance would cause unnecessary suspicion and trouble. I think it would be better to tell the truth..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, "I understand..."

"Then let's do this..."
