Naruto: Nawaki was already dead, how could you bring him back to life?

laugh!

However, before the storm had even subsided, the half-tailed beast Han leaped out, smoke billowing from his mouth, seemingly unharmed.

"You are very strong, but it's a pity you've met me. You underestimate my strength, Han, which is quite a headache," Han said coldly.

"This guy……!"

Chiba's expression changed slightly. Han was far stronger than he had imagined. His Wind Release: Rasenshuriken had failed to break through the opponent's Tailed Beast Cloak!

"Eight Gates Formation - Gate of Life, open!"

Chiba clasped his hands together in front of his chest and opened the third gate, the Gate of Life, without hesitation, and attempted to break through to the next gate.

"Fourth Injury Gate... Open!"

After this period of reflection, Chiba naturally opened the fourth gate, the Injury Gate, stepping from the last safe zone of the Eight Gates Formation into the danger zone, truly entering the state of the Eight Gates Formation.

"Uh ah ah ah ah!"

A burning sensation quickly spread throughout Chiba's body, and her body turned bright red, with sweat on her skin continuously turning into steam.

Swish!

Chiba transformed into a blur and charged towards Han, who was half-tailed beast transformed. He needed to buy time for Hiruko and couldn't give Han the chance to release the Tailed Beast Ball.

boom!

The two charged at each other at the same time, their speed creating waves of air.

With all four gates open, Chiba's attack and speed have been significantly enhanced, making him able to keep up with Han in his half-tailed beast form.

"Boiling Escape·Unparalleled Strange Power!"

Han let out a low shout, and his chakra surged. His fists, as big as casserole dishes, rained down on Chiba.

"Shikizhi Dance!"

Chiba brought the mobility of the Shikigami Dance to its extreme, using the paper wings to nimbly move his body, like a small boat constantly shuttling through raging waves, occasionally spreading out part of his body to dissipate the force.

In short, Chiba would rather endure the burning of the Five-Tails' chakra than take the terrifying force of Han head-on. This guy's monstrous strength is among the best in the entire ninja world.

Wow~~

With the support of Shikigami Dance and the Eight Gates Formation, Chiba barely managed to withstand Han's rapid and relentless attacks, but Han's blows sent paper flying everywhere, and his injuries multiplied.

"We got tricked by Hiruko! You said you'd take as many as come, but you didn't say it would take this long!"

Chiba inwardly groaned. If he hadn't still retained some of the Eight-Tails' chakra and used Yin Healing Destruction to recover his condition from time to time, he would be dead by now.

Swish!

After a brief struggle, Han realized that Chiba would be difficult to defeat in a short time. So, he used a feint to shake off Chiba and headed straight for the fleshy ball behind him.

"Earthly Grudge - Tentacle!"

After Chiba realized what was happening, he immediately unleashed the Earth Grudge towards Han's figure, but unfortunately, he missed by a hair's breadth and failed to restrain the opponent's movements.

Having lost the initiative, Chiba could only watch with furious rage as Han, propelled by steam, pounced on the immobile Hiruko like a hungry tiger.

"No! Uncle-Master!"

Thinking about his soon-to-be-lost reward and role as a tool, Chiba let out a heart-wrenching roar, which sounded just like Shikamaru shouting for Asuma.

Thirdly, swift escape!

However, at that moment, Hiruko's voice suddenly came clearly, and the huge ball of flesh began to shrink rapidly and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

[Ding! Healing successful! Congratulations, host, you have obtained "Storm Release"!]

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Chiba's mind.

"(OωO?)! What?!"

This series of twists and turns came too suddenly; Chiba hadn't even had time to react.

At that moment, Hiruko, who had once again turned into a boy, appeared beside him, jumped up, patted his head, and asked with a smile.

"Nephew, you seemed quite worried about me just now?"

Thanks to the extraordinary effects of the Oni-Garuru technique, Hiruko's condition quickly returned to full after consuming the two tentacles. Chiba's use of the special medicine was perfect, and he thus received a reward from the system.

"I appreciate your concern. The battle from now on will be fought by me, the division commander..."

Bang!

Before Hiruko could finish speaking, to Chiba's horrified gaze, the man who had missed his target flew over instantly and sent Hiruko flying with another spinning kick.

"Damn, if you don't know how to play, just give me your account! With such high difficulty, you can't even beat a B-rank ninja?"

Chiba muttered a curse to himself, then spread his paper wings and caught Hiruko in mid-air, dissipating Han's force before landing safely with him.

"Those are two troublesome guys."

White smoke billowed from Han's mouth as his massive, imposing body pressed closer to the two of them, and he spoke coldly.

"Nephew, he attacked me suddenly. I was careless and didn't dodge... Storm Release: Storm Demon Dragon!"

While explaining to Chiba, Hiruko angrily formed hand seals and unleashed his strongest killing move.

They actually beat him up in front of his own nephew! Did they really think he, Bei Liuhu, had no dignity?!

Rumble!

The sky was once again shrouded in rolling thunderclouds. Hiruko's control over chakra seemed to have improved considerably. After quickly unleashing the ultimate technique of Storm Release, he charged towards Han.

……

Meanwhile, at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

About twenty minutes later, several Iwa ninja finally arrived.

"Huh, what's this Sand Ninja? Dead or alive?"

Just then, an Iwa ninja spotted Pakura and was about to bend down to examine her when another Iwa ninja suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

"Never mind her, look up at the sky! What's that? Is it ninjutsu, or some kind of natural weather phenomenon?"

Upon hearing this, the group looked up at the sky at the same time. The leader, an Iwa ninja, immediately changed his expression and said, "This is definitely not a natural phenomenon. It is probably some kind of large-scale lightning release ninjutsu."

"Damn it, how can the enemy be so strong! Hurry up the mountain, Lord Han might need our help!"

"it is good!"

Under the command of the leader, the group disregarded everything else and ran up the mountain with all their might.

Although Han appears arrogant, he is actually kind-hearted and always helps the ninjas in his village with a cold face. Everyone likes this "big guy".

Therefore, even knowing the dangers of this journey, they were willing to do it for Lord Han!

……

The summit of Mount Sumeru.

The three figures were locked in a fierce battle, neither gaining the upper hand. With Hiruko joining the fray, Chiba's situation became much easier, while Han's expression grew increasingly grim.

Hiruko's Steel Release can withstand his monstrous strength, Dark Release can absorb his ninjutsu, Swift Release can rival his speed, and he can also use Storm Release to prepare terrifying killing moves in the air.

"What kind of monster are you?!"

Looking at Hiruko, who was trying his best to prove himself in front of Chiba, Han questioned him in a low voice.

Han, who had been regarded as a monster since childhood, now felt for the first time that someone like Hiruko was the real monster.

The opponent is clearly not a Jinchūriki, and without the support of a Tailed Beast, how could they possibly wield such immense power?!

"I'm not a monster."

Hiruko said calmly, "I'm just an ordinary person who keeps striving to catch up with people like you who are born strong."

Chiba and Hiruko worked together seamlessly, becoming increasingly fierce and gradually gaining the upper hand. Han was exhausted from defending and had lost his initial composure.

"Damn it, I can't keep playing along with their rhythm, or I might really...!"

Ironically, the proud Han never imagined that one day he would be suppressed not by the Jinchūriki of another village, but by two "ordinary people"!

Faced with Chiba and his companion's strange escape techniques, his monstrous strength, which he was usually so proud of, became completely useless, and the few ninjutsu techniques he was proficient in were either absorbed or dodged by his opponents...

With that thought in mind, Han no longer hesitated and turned his gaze to King Mu within his body.

"King Mu!"

"understand!"

The figure of Han, who was fighting Chiba and the other two, suddenly twisted. Before Chiba and the other two could react, Han transformed into a white behemoth that was tens of meters tall under the influence of chakra.

With the head of a dolphin, the body of a horse, and five snow-white tails, this is the complete form of the Five-Tailed King Mu!

boom!

King Mu stomped his hooves hard on the ground, causing the earth and rocks to crumble, dust to billow, and the entire mountain to tremble.

The two Chiba who had just fought with Han were now under King Mu's hoof and were directly knocked off their balance by the force.

Swish!

The two simultaneously chose to spread their wings, dodging back and forth under King Mu's iron hooves, narrowly avoiding becoming meat patties, and flew into the air.

"Tailed beast jade!"

Han didn't expect to crush two guys who were almost immune to physical attacks. He was in full tailed beast form just to release the tailed beast ball without interference.

King Mu opened his mouth wide, and a purplish-black energy ball, several times larger than before, gradually solidified inside.

Han was determined to eliminate Chiba and his companion, as well as the terrifying thunderclouds still gathering in the sky, in one fell swoop!

"Oh no! Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!"

Chiba's expression changed drastically. He was quite far from King Mu, and at this distance, it would be impossible to use the Vajra Lockdown to restrain the agile King Mu.

He could only raise his hand to condense a spiral shuriken and hurl it fiercely at King Mu on the ground, hoping that the faster shuriken would hit King Mu's massive body.

"First, Storm Release: Thunder Cloud Cavity Wave!"

Beiluhu also formed hand seals, and a bolt of lightning shot from his fingers toward King Mu on the ground.

Swish!

Despite his seemingly clumsy appearance, King Mu was actually extremely agile. With a light leap, he dodged the two men's attacks, and the Tailed Beast Ball in his mouth grew larger and larger, ready to be released at any moment.
