Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Naruto’s Iron Door vs. Shukaku
Clang! Clang! Clang!
At this moment, Naruto was using an iron door as a shield in front of Sasuke, blocking Shukaku's relentless attacks.
The Immortal Totem could revive a person, but there was a condition: the body couldn't suffer any damage within 10 seconds after contacting the totem.
This conclusion was reached after Uzumaki Stark's experiments with small animals and countless observations of Kakashi's resurrections.
So, the moment Naruto entered the battlefield, he grabbed the door and set it up in front of Sasuke to block any potential damage.
Hearing the sound of wind-style attacks pounding against the door and feeling the immense force transmitted through his shoulders, Naruto gained a newfound respect for the power of tailed beasts.
He had always heard that Shukaku was the weakest of the tailed beasts…
Even the Big Fox (Kurama) said so.
But now, Naruto realized...
Shukaku's "weakness" was only relative to other tailed beasts!
If this door wasn't made of a special material, it would've turned into scrap metal after just one hit from Shukaku's Air Bullet.
Naruto finally understood...
You could say Kurama was strong, but you couldn't call Shukaku weak!
As he struggled to hold back the attacks, Sasuke's voice rang out from behind him.
"Damn that silver-haired chūnin!!"
Naruto: ???
What's wrong with this guy? Why does Sasuke sound like me?
"What did Kakashi-sensei ever do to you?"
"Idiot, are you farming kills or what?"
"Why'd you collapse on the ground and take a nap in the middle of a fight?"
"And where's your vaunted Chidori Stream?"
Naruto ignored why Sasuke immediately started blaming Kakashi upon revival. Instead, he mocked Sasuke with his signature sarcasm.
Seriously.
If this guy had even a bit of skill, Shukaku wouldn't have gotten that first kill so easily.
It was purely because Naruto had the Mystic Heavy Ruler to restore his chakra and injuries that he could afford to fight so recklessly.
Come on…
Does this guy seriously think he's an unkillable berserker?
Does he not realize he's playing jungle while acting like a solo top laner?
Sasuke, gritting his teeth in frustration, stood up and glared at the rampaging Shukaku.
"That statue of yours… it can revive people, right?"
"Give me one!"
Naruto tossed Sasuke another Immortal Totem, too lazy to argue. He even handed him a rope for good measure.
Honestly, after enduring Shukaku's focused attacks for so long, even Naruto was starting to lose his temper.
Especially Kurama in his gut, who kept shouting for Naruto to beat Shukaku senseless.
But when Naruto asked Kurama to take over, the fox refused, claiming, "I trained you from scratch! If you can't even handle Shukaku, go find a tree to crash into and save me the embarrassment!"
Naruto didn't buy it.
Kurama probably just didn't want to get mocked by Shukaku for being overweight.
Imagining a fox three times its usual size getting roasted by Shukaku made Naruto chuckle to himself.
Sasuke tied the totem securely to his waist with several knots, looking unusually cautious.
For safety, Naruto also fastened a totem to himself.
The surrounding jonin couldn't help but stare at the two boys, their expressions twisted in disbelief.
The scene was bizarre.
Two kids, each carrying a 1.6-meter-tall strange statue, one wielding a two-meter-long giant sword and the other holding a colorful two-meter-high iron door...
If it weren't for their Konoha headbands and their familiarity, the jonin might've assumed these two were Orochimaru's experiments.
Absolutely absurd!
"Sasuke! Let's go!"
Naruto braced his door, exchanged a glance with Sasuke, and the two vanished simultaneously.
Both aimed to take on the rampaging Shukaku head-on.
Naruto didn't hesitate because Kurama had explained that Shukaku's rampage was purely instinctual, triggered by Gaara's life being threatened.
In other words, this wasn't Shukaku's full power.
With that knowledge, Naruto felt confident. He didn't even bother opening spatial gates, relying solely on his speed and physical strength. Holding the iron door, he instantly appeared behind Shukaku.
Meanwhile, Sasuke, ignorant of the true power of tailed beasts, still believed Shukaku was just a transformed cat demon. He assumed its current state was thanks to his efforts.
With the revival totem at his back, Sasuke was convinced his two lives were enough to solo Shukaku.
Activating Chidori Stream, Sasuke's form split into a hundred afterimages around Shukaku.
The technique consumed a lot of chakra, but as long as he could land a hit with the Mystic Heavy Ruler, his chakra would replenish instantly.
"ROAR—!"
Enraged, Shukaku howled at the sky, pounding its belly with both hands. Waves of wind-style blades exploded outward from its body, cutting through everything in range with surgical precision.
Anyone other than these two would've been sliced clean in half.
But the weapons in Naruto and Sasuke's hands were both offensive and defensive. The two braced themselves, charging forward with the iron door and Mystic Heavy Ruler shielding them.
Naruto, multitasking while running, opened a few spatial gates. Though distracted, he managed to redirect some of the wind blades elsewhere.
The two appeared at Shukaku's feet, one after the other.
Naruto glanced at Shukaku's rear and smirked. Raising the iron door, he slammed it straight into Shukaku.
The massive beast froze, its jutsu interrupted.
"Nice one!" Naruto shouted, coordinating seamlessly with Sasuke.
"Idiot! Push harder!"
Without further words, the duo unleashed their strongest techniques.
Naruto gathered a swirling blue sphere in his hand, though he held back from using the full Tailed Beast Ball Kamehameha.
Too risky with so many people around.
"Rasengan!"
"Flame Severing Crescent!"
The two juggernauts attacked in unison, a blue beam piercing through Shukaku's rear while a fiery arc slashed its belly.
Caught off guard, Shukaku could only feel intense pain.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
Amidst its agony, Shukaku heard a familiar voice.
"It's you!! Stupid Fox!! How dare you?!"
"Shut up, Tanuki!"
Before their argument could escalate, Shukaku's consciousness was forcibly sealed away.
Naruto didn't relax, though. He opened another spatial gate, leaping onto Gaara's head and relentlessly slamming him with the iron door.
Sasuke, regaining his composure, looked up to see Naruto wielding the iron door like a hammer, beating Gaara into the ground.
