To satisfy his hunger, he devoured Konoha's ninja. And this…
— Huh…
Nausea rose in Sarutobi Hiruzen's throat. My teeth were chattering, and my mind was shaking with terror. What is he doing?! He's a man, not a wild beast! Not a beast! Only animals driven by hunger alone are capable of such brutality!
—What... what's wrong with my body?". He whispered in a trembling voice.
But the next second, he saw a new soul. The brief satisfaction of eating disappeared without a trace, giving way to a new, even fiercer, indomitable hunger.
Eat it! He was hungry!
One soul wasn't enough. Very little. He needs more... more food!
Hee-hee…
Ha ha ha!
What difference does it make now? Once I ate it, I ate it. If the line is crossed, what will another soul change? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. One more... ha ha ha!
"Just one... ha ha ha... last one... ha ha ha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twisted into a grimace of hungry madness again. Inexplicably, his head was already hanging over the next soul. He opened his distorted mouth and swallowed her whole.
—Haha... more… It's a pleasure... oh, ha, ha, ha! It's a million times better than a fucking orgasm! Ha ha ha ha!
Sarutobi Hiruzen burst out laughing. More! And yet!
The pleasure of satiation that filled his tortured soul completely crushed his mind. No, he was still recovering, but there was no turning back. He got hooked. Like a ghost, he darted around the outskirts of the battlefield, devouring the souls of the fallen who did not have time to go to the Pure Lands.
As he absorbed them, the stomach sac under his neck swelled more and more, and his own head began to change. At some point, he discovered that he could fly, and he no longer had to move by wriggling on the ground.
He went so far as to attack the seriously injured, who could still be saved. With its mouth open, it bit into their throats, biting them to death to devour their souls. He didn't give a damn. The main thing is to satisfy hunger.
Meanwhile, in the center of the field, the battle continued. Jiraiya in Sage Mode, Tsunade and the other ninjas were crowding Naruto.
After another crushing blow, the cover of the tailed beast tore open for a moment, exposing the youth's body. Biju's chakra, like a stormy stream, was already preparing to envelop him again. But just in that brief moment!
— The gap!
Kakashi's gaze sharpened. Putting the rest of his strength into his dojutsu, he shouted:
— Kamui!
A space-time vortex swirled around Naruto's right arm.
— This is…
The young man's movements stopped for a moment. Sensing the distortion of space, he tried to escape, but it was too late.
— Ah-ah-ah-ah!
A heart-rending scream rang out. The force of the technique tore off Naruto's right arm. Scarlet blood gushed out, but the wound was almost instantly healed by the Nine-Tails' chakra.
"Naruto, he's there!" Kurama's voice rang out.
"My hand!" I'll blow you to pieces!
Naruto's furious gaze, directed by Kurama, found Kakashi. At the same moment, dozens of small Bombs of the Tailed Beast appeared in the air. Like a deadly rain, they rushed towards their target like blurred shadows. It was a new technique that Naruto had mastered right in battle. His arsenal was meager: three basic techniques, and those were not perfected. Only hand-to-hand combat and the Tailed Beast's Bomb remained. And this barrage of projectiles became his new method of attack.
— It's bad!
Kakashi tried to dodge, but the chakra projectiles were faster. In the blink of an eye, they were upon him. Weakened after using Kamui, he couldn't keep up.…
— Ah-ah-ah!
The scream of pain was drowned out by the roar of the explosions. The chakra shells tore apart the right half of his body, turning his arm and leg into a bloody mess. With a punctured torso and torn insides, he collapsed to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Naruto wanted to finish off the bastard who had robbed him of his arm, but Jiraiya and the others did not give him such an opportunity, increasing the onslaught.
"Damn you bastards! My hand... it hurts... it hurts, critters! I'll blow you all to pieces!
Losing my arm completely blew all the fuses. The desire to kill flooded his mind.
— Super-Great Endless Absolutely Destructive Tailed Beast Bomb!
boom!
A powerful chakra gushed out of Naruto's body. The tails behind him darted wildly, knocking the ninja away, but under their frantic onslaught, one was soon torn off. Naruto didn't even seem to notice it. All his rage, all his overwhelming energy rushed into his palm.
A Tailed Beast Bomb appeared in his hand, looking like a black gemstone. It grew rapidly, pulsating like a living heart.
"Wait, Naruto! You're going too far! If you use this technique, you can kill yourself!" — Kurama shouted in his mind.
He understood Naruto's plan: He was going to create a Tailed Beast Bomb of such power to wipe Konoha off the face of the earth with one blow.
