Chapter 119
"Indeed, they're sparring partners, but try not to kill them, okay?"
Naruto didn't say it too absolutely. In battle, the situation changes in an instant—no one can guarantee absolute safety.
When Sakyo truly faced danger, Naruto still preferred "better your death than mine"—let Sakyo go all out and not suffer losses~
Both sides didn't immediately start fighting when they met—because the film crew hadn't fully evacuated yet.
Splash splash~
The sound of the film crew leaving gradually faded. The ANBU captain waved his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Sealing team, prepare!!!"
Naruto was startled by his loud voice and immediately said: "Holy crap! It's lit!"
ANBU captain, ANBU members, Sakyo: "??"
Seeing everyone looking confused, Naruto reminded them: "What are you standing around for? Let's fight! Earth Style—Earth Splitting Palm!"
Gathering chakra, Naruto slapped one hand on the ground. The earth shook violently, and the ANBU jumped into the air to avoid the tremor.
Rumble rumble~
The ground cracked open, instantly changing the battlefield terrain.
Sakyo seized the chance to activate her Mangekyō Sharingan. Relying solely on the enhanced dynamic vision, she grabbed a kunai and charged forward.
With the power of Kamui, Sakyo didn't need to worry about attacks reaching her real body.
Unless someone could spot her weakness in a short time, Sakyo's safety was guaranteed.
Clang clang clang~
Sakyo's attacks were extremely fierce. One ANBU member hurriedly responded.
The Mangekyō Sharingan wasn't a joke—the ANBU member's movements probably looked like slow slides to Sakyo.
From that moment, the battlefield instantly became lively.
After using the Earth Style—Earth Splitting Palm that once crushed Obito "to death," Naruto stood up with no further action before feeling the sky darken above him.
Looking up, Naruto exclaimed: "Holy crap! What a huge pig—enough to eat for a year!"
A massive wild boar fell from the sky, intending to crush Naruto flat.
But with Naruto's speed, if he let it succeed, wouldn't that make him too useless?
Chakra surged wildly through Naruto's body. As he started running, he turned into a flashing golden streak.
"Close call~"
Naruto's figure appeared on a rock that was rising upward. From dozens of meters in the air, he looked down at the wild boar below.
This rock had been blasted up by Naruto's Earth Splitting Palm. Originally a huge chunk, now it could only support Naruto alone.
Rumble rumble~
A booming sound came. The wild boar also slammed down onto the empty ground.
Before Naruto could catch his breath, he saw a figure with glowing chakra hands rush right in front of him.
"Eight Trigrams—Sixty-Four Palms!"
This ANBU member was clearly from the Hyūga clan.
The Hyūga clan's taijutsu was very strong, but Naruto had no intention of experiencing it.
Raising his hand, Naruto gathered a massive amount of Wind Style chakra and slapped it toward the Hyūga ninja.
"Sorry, I don't do close combat."
BOOM~
A violent gust instantly formed. The Hyūga ninja's body flew backward, crashing through several large trees before barely coming to a stop.
The ninja was in a sorry state, spitting blood and falling limply onto a branch… clearly out of combat.
Wind Style affected the terrain again. Ninjutsu flew toward Naruto from all directions.
Naruto sucked in a cold breath and used his powerful movement speed to dodge again.
At the same time, the area around Naruto darkened once more.
A pot with a mouth dozens of meters wide covered down toward Naruto.
Too late to dodge…
Dong~
Naruto was covered under the pot. Instantly, he felt his chakra being absorbed.
"Wait… something's wrong with these ANBU?"
Naruto suddenly felt things were tricky. In his previous life watching anime, these ANBU were just background fodder—crushable with a casual pinch.
But what was up with this group?
Could it be that to chase him, the jinchūriki, they deployed an elite ANBU squad?
In reality, ANBU was full of geniuses. Many famous powerhouses had once been in ANBU.
This showed that ANBU was actually an unfathomably deep department.
"Whatever!"
Seeing scorching flames pour in through the gaps in the pot lid, Naruto decided to crush them with sheer chakra power.
Gathering chakra into his fist, Naruto leaped up and punched the top of the pot.
Bang~
Powerful chakra exploded instantly, smashing the pot to pieces.
That little Fire Style was blocked by the surging air currents around it and couldn't even get close to Naruto.
The ANBU captain saw this scene and his brows twitched wildly. He suddenly felt the urge to order the ANBU to retreat.
This fighting style had only been used by the legendary Senju Hashirama.
In battle, no fancy tricks—just overwhelming you with sheer chakra volume.
No scheme or tactic mattered. At worst, he'd use massive area ninjutsu—human wave tactics were completely useless.
On the other side, Sakyo fought one ANBU member without feeling any pressure—actually very relaxed.
Sakyo knew the ANBU's target wasn't her, but Naruto.
So this ANBU's mission was probably just to stall her.
In that case…
Sakyo moved extremely fast, closing in to ultra-close range and using her Mangekyō Sharingan ability.
"Amaterasu!"
Swish~
However, the ANBU member was prepared. The instant Sakyo spoke, his Body Flicker Technique hand seals completed smoothly.
Amaterasu black flames landed on a nearby tree trunk and quickly began burning.
"As expected of ANBU…"
Sakyo stared at the ANBU's cat mask, forcing herself to calm down and think of a way to win.
Naruto's side was in no danger—Sakyo didn't need to keep watching him.
Right now, Sakyo's task was to quickly deal with this ANBU.
"No need to try genjutsu on me, Uchiha brat."
"I'm blind."
The ANBU member suddenly spoke, directly interrupting Sakyo's thoughts.
Sakyo instantly felt annoyed: "What???"
A blind man could fight her evenly?
How could her years of training and practice show no effect?
A blind man could make her feel troubled?
But…
Sakyo took a deep breath. She realized the ANBU's words were probably to stall for time… or to disrupt her mind.
Sure enough…
Here it comes!
The ANBU member moved extremely fast. In the instant Sakyo lost focus, he had already begun his attack.
By the time Sakyo reacted and saw the ANBU rushing toward her, it was already too late.
Sakyo could clearly see the ANBU member's movements, but she couldn't make any response.
The reason was simple: Sakyo's physical reaction speed simply couldn't keep up with the Mangekyō Sharingan's dynamic vision… and the ANBU member's speed!
