After only a few exchanges, Sasori and Hidan were captured by Naruto.
At this moment, whether it was the Akatsuki members or acquaintances like Kakashi who were watching Naruto fight for the first time, they were all shocked.
Although they had expected Naruto's strength to be great, seeing is believing.
Only now, witnessing it firsthand, could they truly understand the gap between themselves and him, which was far greater than they had imagined.
The Akatsuki members felt intense pressure in their hearts.
And Naruto's side, while feeling gratified, also felt considerable pressure.
"Was my grandfather this strong at this age?" Tsunade couldn't help but whisper in her heart.
Orochimaru's lips twitched, secretly rejoicing, "Fortunately, my opponent back then was Sasuke-kun, otherwise..."
Kakashi and Jiraiya, who had long been accustomed to being struck by Naruto and had even shut themselves off several times, became very calm after the initial surprise.
After all, they had watched Naruto grow up since he was a child. As for being shocked, well, after being shocked too many times, they became numb.
Only Sasuke's emotions were completely different from the others.
He excitedly opened his Sharingan, frantically copying Naruto's Taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
"Not bad, Naruto's Taijutsu has improved a lot. It's been a while since I sparred with him. His control of this power is truly superb. Is this what they call 'entering the microscopic' in the martial arts realm?"
"And this swordsmanship is really cool, but it's mine now."
As for what the people around him were thinking, Naruto, who was in the midst of battle, had no time to care.
He quickly sliced Hidan into eight pieces with a few sword strikes, and then unhesitatingly left his spot, avoiding Deidara and Konan's second wave of explosive attacks, and moved to Kakuzu's front.
Kakuzu, with his rich combat experience, had anticipated this.
Five masked monsters, entwined with black threads, appeared on his body. While his main body retreated, he used a combination Ninjutsu.
"Wind Fire Chaotic Wave!"
The Wind and Fire Release hearts acted simultaneously, instantly spreading a sea of fire towards Naruto, separating the distance between Naruto and Kakuzu.
But Naruto directly ignored the Wind Fire Chaotic Wave, and wrapped himself in high-speed Wind Blades, directly crashing through.
"Water Release: Water Curtain Tent."
"Lightning Release: False Darkness."
Kakuzu was not surprised by this, and immediately two more offensive Ninjutsu surged out.
Naruto, who had just passed through the sea of fire, was entangled by a high-pressure water cannon and blooming electric light.
Not only that, the cautious Kakuzu also used an Earth Wall to block Naruto's movements.
"Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken."
Naruto, who had passed through the sea of fire, spared the time to throw out a Rasenshuriken, forcing Deva Path Pain, who was preparing to use Almighty Push, to temporarily switch to the defensive Shinra Tensei.
"Mountain Splitting Strike!"
Then, he poured power into his sword and slashed out a sword towards the empty space in front of him.
A powerful force burst from the sword, combining with the sharp Wind Release Chakra to form a forty-meter-long, thick sword energy.
This strike not only cleaved through the incoming Water and Lightning Release Ninjutsu, but also directly sent Kakuzu, who was hiding behind the Earth Wall and had activated his Earth Release hardening skin, flying away.
If he hadn't increased his defense in time, he might have been cut in two directly by this sword.
Naruto tapped his feet and dashed out without hesitation, catching up with Kakuzu, whose body was still in mid-air. Two Black Rods appeared in his hand, and Naruto unhesitatingly stabbed them into Kakuzu's body.
Crack!
Kakuzu made intimate contact with the stone wall, and the stone wall and the Earth Release hardening defense Ninjutsu on his body shattered simultaneously. Two hearts were also pierced by the Black Rods, losing their vitality.
Although Kakuzu still had three hearts and possessed ample combat power, the Chakra-suppressing ability of the Black Rods left him pinned to the wall, completely unable to move.
"Boss, find a way to get him out of the village, I'll give him a big one."
Deidara, who had been ignored by Naruto all along, roared in exasperation at this moment.
Looking at him sitting on a clay bird flying in the air, taking out a clay doll resembling a tumbler, C3 No. 18, one could know how explosive his mentality was at this moment.
No one had ever dared to underestimate him so much!
If he hadn't had a bit of reason left, knowing that he couldn't blow up his own home, Deidara would have wanted to detonate this C3 directly here, blowing up all the annoying people to death.
Nearby, Konan also cast her gaze towards Deva Path Pain with a somewhat tempted expression.
She had prepared six hundred billion Exploding Tags with her Bloodline Limit, all buried in the sea outside the Rain Ninja Village. This was originally prepared to deal with the so-called Uchiha Madara who possessed the ability to become intangible.
And now, since that Madara was gone, facing a strong enemy like Naruto, it could be put to good use.
"I'll deal with him." Deva Path Pain said indifferently.
From the battle that had taken place in that short period of time, Deva Path Pain could clearly understand that no one present except himself was Naruto's opponent.
After saying that, the Six Paths of Pain, including Deva Path, instantly blocked Naruto, who had just finished off Kakuzu and was preparing to move on to the next battlefield.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Naruto unhesitatingly formed the hand seals, his main body met the Six Paths of Pain head-on.
And the Shadow Clone, without hesitation, raised his hand and threw a handful of marbles at Deidara in the sky.
He didn't use the Electromagnetic Cannon that required a few seconds to prepare, but even ordinary projectiles, accelerated by the airflow of Wind Release Chakra, reached a speed beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Forcing Deidara, who had just created a few centipedes in the sky, to defend.
Splat!
The clay barrier, hardened and possessing good defensive power, blocked Naruto's marble attack.
However, before Deidara could make his next move, he discovered that Naruto, who was still some distance away from him just now, had already arrived in front of him.
"Flying Thunder God 99 Barrage!"
Naruto muttered to himself, having just teleported over using the Flying Thunder God Seal on the marble, and then his figure split into dozens of afterimages in an instant, punching, kicking, or palming, almost instantly hitting Deidara's body.
"Pfft!"
Deidara spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if he had been struck by a heavy blow in an instant.
Almost every bone in his body was being rubbed by immense force at this moment, and then, without even a groan, he passed out.
While dealing with Deidara, another Shadow Clone silently activated optical camouflage and came to Konan, who was flying in the air with paper wings.
Taking advantage of Konan's attention being drawn to Deidara's side, Naruto, who had completed the hand seals, silently extended a hand from the void and pressed it on Konan's back.
Golden chains emerged from the void, dense runes flowing, almost instantly spreading throughout Konan's body.
"Adamantine Sealing Chains."
