NOVEL NEXT Chapter 407 The young people these days!
The Wings of Wind, for most ninjas, this Ninjutsu was nothing but a flashy trick, utterly useless in actual combat. But for Haruno Sakura, the Chakra consumed by this technique was negligible.
At this moment, Sakura, controlling the Wings of Wind, soared freely in the sky, her graceful figure like an angel, dancing whimsically in the wind.
"Sakura, take this! I've got a new jutsu!" Naruto shouted, and instantly thousands of Narutos began running around the playground, whipping up a fierce wind.
In their hands, each condensed a Rasengan, infused with wind natured Chakra, hurling them towards the center. There, hundreds of Narutos were not running like the other clones but instead were accumulating red Chakra on their bodies. Within the already-formed tornado around them, they used Chakra to control the thousands of small Rasengans thrown into the mix, merging them into one to form a gigantic Rasengan.
Sizzling sounds filled the air!
The Rasengan was fifty meters in diameter, with cyclones resembling planetary rings around it, slicing through the surrounding air and creating wind pressure that nearly destroyed Konoha entirely.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Kakashi's eyes widened, even revealing the Sharingan that was usually covered by his forehead protector, "Third Hokage, this isn't a joke! If it explodes in Konoha, the energy could be compared to... no, it might even surpass a Tailed Beast Bomb!"
The very existence of Konoha was in peril!
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands trembled, the pipe clenched in his mouth falling as he became distraught.
He just wanted to see what kind of new jutsu Naruto would use; he hadn't expected it to be something so dangerous. If they lost control, Konoha would be finished!
"Take that! My Multiple Rasengan!"
Naruto, seemingly unaware of what Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others were thinking, gathered all the clones underneath the giant sphere, using their Chakra in unison to launch the massive Multiple Rasengan towards Sakura's location.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After using this move, Naruto's thousands of clones vanished in an instant, leaving behind only the original, gasping for breath: "Ha~ I almost used up all my Chakra, but with this move, I should be able to defeat Sakura."
Sakura furrowed her brows, realizing that this thing absolutely could not be met head-on while low in the sky. The energy released from the dispersal of the Chakra inside it could completely destroy Konoha.
"Naruto, this guy, he's really going all out to beat me," Haruno Sakura shook her head. Looking at the increasingly fast-approaching Multiple Rasengan, she flew higher into the sky, quickly breaking through the clouds to above the cloud layer.
The Multiple Rasengan followed but at a much slower pace.
"Is this really the limit of all the Chakra Naruto can muster right now?" Haruno Sakura murmured, forming seals with her hands. She created the Taiyo Four Symbols seal, condensing water, fire, wind, and lightning chakra between her fingers into a lotus the size of a palm, lightly drifting it down towards the Multiple Rasengan.
Boom—
On the ground, everyone looked up to see a small hole torn in the clouds, instantly regarding Naruto Uzumaki as some kind of monster.
"His Chakra... it actually broke through the sky!"
"That's just ridiculous!"
"With this strength, he's definitely nearing the level of a Jonin!"
Meanwhile, on the Hokage Rock, Sarutobi Hiruzen had just picked up his pipe but shuddered again, causing the pipe to fall, and he tumbled off the Hokage Rock.
He had just been relieved that Konoha had narrowly avoided a village-destroying crisis, not expecting Naruto's attack to reach above the clouds. It was unbelievable.
Was this truly the extent of Naruto's power?
Incredible!
Thunderous roar!
As everyone pondered Haruno Sakura's situation, the clouds above suddenly thundered, dispersed in an instant, followed by a gale, and then a sky filled with firelight and writhing lightning snakes.
Eventually, a fine drizzle began to fall all over Konoha.
"The weather has been really weird lately. If it's not a strong wind, it's a heavy rain." Enjoy the story by reading on M|V|LE%MPYR.
"Yeah, and sometimes there's even thunder out of nowhere."
"Oh no, I forgot to bring in my laundry!"
At first, the villagers of Konoha wondered if something significant was happening in the world to cause the sky to frequently show such anomalies, but now they had grown accustomed to it.
Hovering above the Ninja Academy's training ground, Sakura's figure slowly descended from the sky, without a hint of dampness on her body. The wings of wind at her back dispersed, and the warm breeze she carried scattered the raindrops in an instant.
In a flash, after the rain, the sky cleared, and a magnificent rainbow arced across the firmament.
"Stop! Sakura wins!"
Worried that these two would continue fighting, Iruka immediately stepped forward to halt the battle and declared the result.
"Eh?" Naruto was taken aback, "Iruka-sensei, I haven't fallen yet!"
"Naruto, you've run out of Chakra. You definitely can't beat Sakura, this is for your own good," Iruka, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, earnestly explained to Naruto.
"...Just like that. Next match, Uchiha Sasuke versus Akimichi Choji."
Akimichi Choji entered the arena, shedding his clothes to reveal the solid muscles beneath. Coupled with his height of 1.6 meters, he exerted enormous pressure on Sasuke.
"What on earth do these guys eat?" Sasuke complained inwardly once again. The guy in front of him was clearly from the Akimichi Clan, who are supposed to be plump, so why was he all muscle!
Iruka swallowed hard, his only hope being that Akimichi Choji would hold back a little; otherwise, Uchiha Sasuke would surely get beaten up very badly...
...
Meanwhile, Haruno Sakura and Naruto were also called away from the training ground by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Sakura, Naruto, have you considered graduating early?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked kindly, "With your abilities, you're already fully capable of being independent ninjas."
Although they were still young, their strength was already formidable. It didn't seem quite right to keep them mingling with the other students in the Ninja Academy.
"Has Grandpa Hokage finally acknowledged my strength?" Naruto jumped with joy and then turned to Sakura, shaking his head, "But I think, since I entered the school with my classmates, we should graduate together. After all, we're friends."
Nowadays, Naruto had become friends with everyone in the class, of course, with Haruno Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, and others being the closest.
[Still a child at heart.]
Remembering Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed once again, deciding to respect Naruto's own choices and to let him graduate with the other students.
[That's good as well. Naruto can form deep bonds with his classmates!]
"However, Grandpa Hokage, if you have any missions you want us to take on, we'll definitely agree," Naruto said excitedly. "With our strength, any enemy can be defeated!"
"The youth these days..."
