Apparently, the Nine-Tailed was completely uninterested in what would happen after dying in this parallel world; it certainly didn't want to risk finding out.
"Alright, alright, Naruto, I'll help you one more time!" the Nine-Tailed grumbled with a look of disdain, forced to set aside its pride in the face of life and death.
However, before it finished speaking,
the next moment, a massive surge of Chakra, like a raging torrent, continuously poured out from its body, transferring it to the other party.
At that very instant, a powerful red force, precisely the Nine-Tailed's power, suddenly surged within Uzumaki Naruto in reality.
This power, like burning flames, rapidly swept through his entire body, bubbling and boiling, instantly repairing his originally gruesome injuries to their pristine state in the blink of an eye. All the wounds on his body healed at an astonishing speed, as if time had flowed backward at that moment.
This recovery speed was something unimaginable in the entire Ninja World. Even other Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts would likely not be able to recover so quickly when faced with such injuries. After all, the Nine-Tailed was the most powerful among all Tailed Beasts; the power it possessed was unparalleled, and its Yang Release and regenerative aspects were top-tier.
"Now!" Uzumaki Naruto's heart was resolute, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. His right hand, pressed against the ground, rapidly erupted with powerful Chakra, using this force to propel his body backward with an impact.
At the same time, he swiftly formed hand seals without hesitation, performing the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Following his movements, countless Shadow Clones emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain, instantly filling the entire hall. These Shadow Clones were densely packed, cramming the hall so tightly that it was impossible to pass, leaving people astonished.
Outside the hall.
"Good opportunity!" Minato Namikaze felt the Nine-Tailed's power coming from inside, feeling a moment of surprise but without the slightest hesitation. He quickly initiated the combat plan: "Let's move too!" In an instant, Minato Namikaze and a few adult Ninja, including Yamato, also quickly entered the hall to carry out rescue operations.
Sakura, on the other hand, led Sai and Kakashi to provide support from the outside and set up traps.
The moment he stepped into the hall,
Minato Namikaze's gaze immediately fell upon Uzumaki Naruto. The same hair color, the same eyes and pupils, and the long-lost power emanating from him.
Wait...
Uzumaki Naruto, this name, could it be...
Suddenly, in Minato Namikaze's clear-thinking mind, he seemed to understand the other party's identity.
Yes.
Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki?
"So that's it! It must be Kushina's idea!"
In mid-air, Minato Namikaze's eyes showed a hint of sudden realization, and his mood became excited, then instantly turned sharp. "I can't let you harm Naruto," he thought, turning his gaze towards Uchiha Tenxiu and the others. The Ninja Love Blade had already appeared in his hand, and he quickly threw it in all directions, with many shuriken also heading towards Uchiha Chiri.
However, as soon as he entered, he was met with immense forces of Wind Release and Fire Release.
...
Turns out,
earlier, at the same time Minato Namikaze and the others began their actions,
inside the main hall at the center of the Dragon Vein,
Uzumaki Naruto's Shadow Clones swarmed madly towards Uchiha Chiri and the others, while his main body, without any hesitation, began to flee towards the outside.
After the previous battle, Uzumaki Naruto also understood that there was a huge gap between his strength and the opponent's.
The Nine-Tailed's power erupting at this moment was only a small portion of the Nine-Tailed Fox's power. Since he hadn't fully transformed into a Tailed Beast, it only repaired his injuries; it was the Nine-Tailed's reluctant power support to him. And this power was clearly not enough to turn the tide of battle, unless he could lose his sanity and allow the Nine-Tailed to completely take over his body.
Therefore, fleeing was the best option.
In front of hundreds of Shadow Clones, even a Kage-level expert would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with them.
"The Nine-Tailed's power?" Uchiha Chiri spoke calmly, seemingly unsurprised by the opponent's unleashing of Tailed Beast power. With Uchiha Tenxiu's implicit suggestion to delay, she would not kill the opponent, but she also had no intention of holding back.
The next moment,
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Uchiha Chiri's Sharingan glowed red as her hands swiftly formed seals like phantoms, each movement precise and accurate.
As she formed the seals, a Shadow Clone identical to her suddenly appeared by her side, as if materializing out of thin air.
However, this was just the beginning.
Immediately after, both Uchiha Chiri's mouths uttered two different Ninjutsu names: "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
"Wind Release: Violent Wind Dance!"
In an instant, a blazing inferno erupted from her mouth, like a volcanic eruption, the scorching flames instantly engulfing the entire hall.
At the same time, a furious gale also roared out from the other Zhili's mouth, intertwining with the flames.
These two completely different Ninjutsu, under Uchiha Chiri's exquisite control, perfectly merged together, forming an unprecedented large-scale combined Ninjutsu.
The flames, like a fierce giant beast, lunged with bared fangs and claws at the charging Shadow Clones. And the violent wind, like an invisible giant dragon, tightly enveloped the flames within it, forming a massive fiery tornado.
This fiery tornado spun at an astonishing speed, and everything in its path was reduced to Ash. The Shadow Clones were utterly unable to withstand this powerful force, instantly sucked into it, exploding in the blazing inferno.
Bang, bang, bang... A series of explosions rang out as the Shadow Clones burst one after another, turning into countless sparks and smoke, vanishing into the air. The Rasengan that many Shadow Clones had condensed in their hands also immediately dissipated, without playing any role.
At the same time, the wind, while aiding the fire's intensity, also resisted the powerful flames, preventing damage to the external structure.
"Cannot destroy the building and affect the underground Dragon Vein, cannot kill this Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, it's a bit difficult!" Looking at the several new enemies on the field, Uchiha Chiri quickly analyzed the next combat methods in her mind, and in an instant, she had already thought of how to deal with these people.
Although she had just dealt with a large number of Shadow Clones under the control of Wind Release, it was because the opponent's combat literacy was too low. With such a massive amount of Chakra, his taijutsu was completely unpatterned and full of flaws. Especially for her, who had once trained in Rasengan, the use and targeting of Rasengan were quite clear at a glance. She naturally knew that as long as she maintained enough distance and used large-scale Ninjutsu for confrontation, in the absence of the opponent's high-speed movement ability, she could continuously bombard and strike.
And the new presences before her eyes,
aside from the Akimichi Clan and Aburame Clan members, who were relatively easy to target,
the other two people, the strangely shaped little blond who threw shuriken, and the expressionless Ninja with a forehead protector covering his forehead and brown hair, couldn't be identified by their origins.
Uchiha Chiri could only deal with them using the combat methods she had planned as usual, after all, with the amount of Chakra they displayed, they were not simple individuals!
...
"Ah! Ah ah ah ah... Ugh ugh ugh..."
In mid-air,
a figure landed on the ground with a "bang."
Following it was a series of extremely tragic and piercing screams of pain. This agonizing wail came from the sensory torment of being roasted alive, brought about by the collective death of the Shadow Clones.
The high temperature of the roasting, like the fires of hell, instantly ignited his body, causing it to burn fiercely. Flames licked at his skin, bringing unbearable agony.
This extreme pain was like millions of ants gnawing at his bones, or like being pierced simultaneously by millions of fine needles in every corner of his body. It made his body completely lose control; no matter how much the Nine-Tailed's Chakra could repair physical damage, it could not heal mental damage.
"One down!"
Uchiha Chiri muttered to herself.
She began to turn her attention to the other sudden arrivals in the hall.
