Chapter 268 Various Parts of the Battlefield
Outside Konoha Village, wave after wave of figures dressed in Sound Ninja uniforms, like hyenas that have smelled blood, surged out of their hidden strongholds and launched a new attack on the smoke-filled Konoha Village, attempting to push the chaos to an even greater climax.
A Sound Ninja squad of at least several dozen men wore cruel and excited smiles beneath their masks, as if they could already see the scene of wanton destruction and slaughter. They rushed forward, kicking up clouds of dust.
However, they were completely unaware that on a nearby hill, a pair of eyes, filled with a mixture of cruelty and excitement, were fixed on them.
Just as the group of Sound Ninja were about to rush into the outer area of the village.
In the sky, several clay figures disguised as ordinary birds silently flew overhead. Immediately afterwards, some small white things fell from the bellies of the clay birds, landing precisely in the center of the running Sound Ninja team.
"Um?"
The sudden appearance of a white object from the sky startled several Sound Ninja, causing them to slow their pace. However, this brief hesitation became the final moment of their lives.
"drink!"
Accompanied by a cold command from afar.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—!!"
The continuous explosions instantly engulfed the Sound Ninja Squad! The tiny clay spiders unleashed terrifying power completely disproportionate to their size, with scorching flames and shockwaves mercilessly reaping lives.
The screams were drowned out by the roar of the explosion. Limbs and broken ninja tools flew everywhere. The once-fierce team was now dead in an instant, leaving only charred craters on the ground and the lingering smell of blood.
"Hahaha! How about that! If you can't grasp the true essence of art instantly, this is what happens!"
Deidara, standing on high ground, looked at his "masterpiece" and burst into hearty laughter.
He then added, as if talking to himself, "But you have your own fault for that, don't you? After all, our leader rarely takes lives easily. But he won't show any mercy to you invaders of war, hmm."
"Even if I blow you all to pieces, even a Bodhisattva would forgive me, right? Hmm."
But soon, looking at the chaotic battlefield below, he became somewhat disheartened. "However, these small fry are no match for testing my new artistic creations, hmm."
The fact that he was so easily defeated made him yearn to find some opponents who could better withstand his "great art".
Just then, his gaze was drawn to another giant summoning snake that had been summoned again on the battlefield not far away. Deidara's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. He casually sculpted a few centipedes out of clay and silently buried them in the path, then jumped onto a clay giant owl that was already prepared.
"Alright! Let's use that big guy to test my new creation! Hmm!"
He laughed loudly, and rode the clay owl at breakneck speed toward the enormous creature.

"Naruto... what exactly is going on...?"
Kakashi watched his disciple return, his heart filled with indescribable shock. Naruto had clearly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, yet when he reappeared, he had transformed into this form? His body was enveloped in a warm and dazzling golden light, and the feeling of chakra was both familiar and strange… So this is what the Nine-Tails' chakra looks like?
What alarmed him even more was the vast amount of chakra, as deep as an abyss, which he could still clearly sense even when he tried to suppress it, and the absolute power that seemed to far surpass his own.
Of course, the one present at this moment was only one of Naruto's shadow clones. This clone was responsible for supporting the Chunin Exams venue, which was fraught with danger—Orochimaru had clearly ambushed a staggering number of Sound Ninja there, intending to prevent any Konoha ninja from going to support the Third Hokage who was confronting him.
"Hahaha! What's wrong, Kakashi? Are you speechless with amazement at your disciple's astonishing growth?" Might Guy shouted excitedly, kicking a Sand Ninja away with a triumphant kick. "But we're still in the competition! Right now, I've defeated more enemy ninjas than anyone else!"
Upon hearing this, Kakashi quickly composed himself, took a deep look at the golden figure, and threw himself back into the battle, using his kunai to precisely parry the incoming attack.
"Satsuki, watch out!"
Naruto's shadow clone reacted extremely quickly, a golden chakra claw instantly extending out and precisely catching the kunai that was stabbing towards Sasuke's back from the shadows, grabbing it along with the Sound Ninja who had launched the sneak attack. Then, without any mercy, it slammed the Sound Ninja to the ground—with a muffled thud, the Sound Ninja was never able to get up again.
Satsuki stared blankly at Naruto... gleaming with golden light. Although Naruto's displayed strength far surpassed her own, initially causing a slight, unavoidable sense of loss, but... his current appearance...
So beautiful... It's as dazzling and warm as the sun.
Despite a fleeting stirring within her, as if caught in a lovestruck frenzy, Satsuki's combat prowess remained unaffected. Her kunai swiftly and cleanly slashed the throat of another Sound Ninja. It seemed Naruto's earlier worries were somewhat unnecessary.
Naruto looked around at the Sound Ninja surging out like spawn points in a game. He couldn't delay any longer! To clear the field quickly without hurting his teammates, it seemed he had no choice but to use that move.
He raised his right hand, and a huge, stable Rasengan emitting a deep hum instantly appeared in his palm. Then, he raised the Rasengan high above his head, and at the same time, several golden chakra claws suddenly unfolded behind him like a peacock's tail, quickly and firmly grabbing the large number of terrified Sound Ninja around him!
"Spiral Shot Absorption!"
With a low shout, the Sound Ninjas, who were bound by the golden giant claw, were involuntarily slammed into the giant Rasengan floating in the air!
"Ugh—!"
Screams mingled with the sound of chakra tearing, and the terrifying spinning and tearing power of the Rasengan erupted instantly, causing numerous casualties and clearing a vast open area in an instant!
"Wow! That's amazing, Kakashi!" Seeing this, Guy's eyes burned with even more intense fighting spirit. "It seems that if we don't get serious, we might really be outdone by Naruto! Come on, this is the climax of burning youth!"
"Sixth Gate - View Gate - Open!!"
Boom! Even more violent green energy erupted from Kai's body, forming a visible surge of air that caused the surrounding rocks to tumble!
His overwhelming aura instilled fear in many of the Sound Ninja who had witnessed Rock Lee's battle in the first Chunin Exams. And the power of this man before them was several times more terrifying than that of the thick-browed boy!
"A monster...a monster!"
"Retreat immediately!"
Faced with Naruto's overwhelming ability to clear the field and Kayn's explosive momentum like a prehistoric beast, the invaders' morale finally began to collapse. Fear spread like a plague, and many ninjas began to have thoughts of retreat, their fighting spirit quickly disintegrating.
