Natsuki's voice came, making Tenten breathe a sigh of relief.
That's right. Although Natsuki's Flying Thunder God Technique was not yet mature, he could still use it at the risk of injury. Escaping was not a problem, and even if he was injured, he had senzu beans to heal him.
So, there was no need to worry.
Shino quickly asked, "Tenten, does Natsuki have a technique to protect himself?"
Tenten gave him a reassuring look: "Natsuki will be fine. Let's quickly deal with the enemy and then leave here. This area is too dangerous, and we'll be caught in the crossfire, which will affect Natsuki's performance."
Since Tenten said so, Shino no longer worried.
Thus, both of them increased their attack power.
Neji and Sasuke were originally shocked and worried, but hearing Tenten's words also made them breathe a sigh of relief and continue their own battle.
Genma Shiranui, however, was stunned, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He probably guessed what kind of unspoken understanding Natsuki and Tenten had. The reason they hadn't used it immediately was definitely because it wasn't skilled enough yet and couldn't be used in combat for the time being, but it was sufficient for escaping.
In an instant, Genma Shiranui also felt relieved.
"I really didn't misjudge you, kid! I didn't expect you to actually learn it!"
At the same time, Kakashi, Kai, and Kurenai Yuhi were still fighting fiercely with Kabuto Yakushi and the other Sound Ninja. Seeing Gaara completely transform into a tailed beast, they were also anxious for a moment.
"I didn't expect that Gaara to be a Jinchuriki! This is troublesome!" Kakashi's expression was solemn.
"How about we hold them off, and Kakashi you go help?" Kurenai Yuhi suggested.
"No, Natsuki is there, so we don't need to worry for now. What we need to do is quickly deal with things here and then hurry over to help." Kakashi was anxious, but not as anxious as one might have expected.
"That's right! Leave it to Natsuki, and there's no mistake!" Kai and Yamashiro Aoba were clearly full of confidence in Natsuki.
After all, Natsuki was someone who could defeat Orochimaru. If someone with his strength couldn't contend with a tailed beast, then others going there would basically be useless. Moreover, Natsuki didn't show any intention of running away when he saw the tailed beast, which clearly meant he still had a trump card. Maybe opening the Eight Gates up to the Sixth Gate would solve it?
Hearing this, the other Jonin also temporarily eased their tension. After all, everyone knew more or less about Natsuki's achievements.
However, Kabuto Yakushi was not satisfied with this: "Hey, hey, hey, all you Jonin of Konoha, are you perhaps too trusting of that kid named Natsuki? That's a tailed beast, aren't you afraid of him being beaten to death?"
Yamashiro Aoba's tone also turned cold at this moment: "In that case, you should die quickly, I'm in a hurry to go help my student!"
Saying this, the two sides started fighting in a group mode again.
The Shikamaru team, who was helping out everywhere at this time, was also very worried.
Naruto stared blankly at Shukaku, and couldn't help but mutter, "So, that Gaara is the same as me. He also has a monster inside him. Perhaps I understand him..."
"Naruto, stop spacing out! Quickly send this injured person to Sakura!" Shikamaru urged loudly.
Naruto also quickly came back to his senses, carrying an injured and unconscious Chunin towards Sakura, but on the way, he kept paying attention to Shukaku's side, having a feeling of wanting to go there.
"Gaara, perhaps I understand him, because I am the same..."
On this side, Shukaku crashed down from the air, landing right in the center of the arena. Not only did it create a large crater, but it also kicked up a large amount of dust. Fortunately, the arena was large enough, otherwise this one impact alone would have shaken a group of spectators to death.
Then, Shukaku immediately discovered the person who had choked it with the water prison, which was Natsuki, who was suspended in the air.
It immediately shouted loudly, "Haha! I've found the person I want to kill! Behold, Lord Shukaku's Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet!"
Saying this, it actually began to form hand signs, then opened its mouth and spat out a giant wind bullet, heading straight for Natsuki. Natsuki couldn't dodge, because the audience stands were a little further behind him.
Fortunately, Natsuki wasn't afraid of this little wind bullet.
He quickly formed hand signs and spat out a water ball: "Water Release: Water Bullet!"
Bang! Due to his massive Chakra output, the water ball also became incredibly large, no less than Shukaku's wind bullet. The two large balls collided in the air and exploded, instantly causing many people's ears to sting.
The shockwave formed by the collision was also considerable, blowing many people in the audience stands off balance. Fortunately, no one died.
"Oh ho, an ant with some skill! Since that's the case, Lord Shukaku will compete with you in Chakra. Let's see if I can exhaust you to death! Hahahaha!"
Shukaku seemed to have found a new game. It spread its arms and laughed loudly, then planned to form hand signs again.
But Natsuki wouldn't give it that chance.
He used Lightning Flash, quickly flashing to the vicinity of Shukaku's belly, then spread his palms, each condensing a super large water disc with a diameter of five meters.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle! Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The water discs spun wildly, as if space itself was about to be cut open.
"Shukaku! Take this! Super Large Water Blade!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! The Water Blade was incredibly fast. Shukaku didn't even have time to form hand signs when the two water discs reached its two hands. Then, two crisp cutting sounds were heard, and Shukaku's two hands were severed in response, falling onto the arena on the spot.
Shukaku had a stunned expression, its face full of disbelief. The next second, it couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Ah ah ah! It hurts so much, it hurts so much! You damned human! How dare you cut Lord Shukaku's arms! I'm going to kill you ah ah ah!!!"
The screams tore through the sky and even reached outside the venue.
Everyone heard it clearly, then looked at Shukaku in disbelief, discovering that Shukaku's arms had indeed been cut off.
That was a tailed beast!
This kid Natsuki cut off a tailed beast's arms!
Could anything be more ridiculous!
The Sand Ninja were all stunned. They had been tormented by the rampaging tailed beast in their village more than a few times. In their eyes, a tailed beast was a disaster, everyone's nightmare. Originally, bringing the Jinchuriki to Konoha was to let the tailed beast cause chaos and make Konoha collapse more thoroughly. They didn't expect the tailed beast's arms to be cut off by a Genin now.
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
"Kai, it seems we all underestimated Natsuki. He's already not inferior to us now!" Kakashi couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hahaha! How youthful! This kid didn't disappoint us!" Kai couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"He's my student!" Yamashiro Aoba's one sentence made everyone else couldn't help but feel envious.
Damn it, even half a student like this would be fine for us. How could this guy Aoba be so lucky? How could he be Natsuki's team leader!
Kabuto Yakushi was also somewhat stunned.
He had just mocked these Konoha Jonin for being too optimistic about that kid Natsuki, not expecting the slap in the face to come so quickly.
Indeed, Natsuki was already very powerful, having fought Orochimaru to a draw at the outer entrance of the Death Forest. But was his current performance too ridiculous?
Clearly, Orochimaru hadn't told Kabuto Yakushi about being defeated by Natsuki, otherwise Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't have thought that way.
