Chapter 296: Waiting for Death with Peace of Mind?
"Oh? It seems that the side effects of this immortal mode have been regarded as an offensive and defensive ability by you kid...... It's kind of interesting. β
Seeing that Naruto once again unexpectedly saved the day, and slammed Orochimaru with a punch. The Nine Lamas, who had been silent in the sealing space, suddenly applauded secretly in their hearts, pretending to be serious and "disdainful" to comment. Then he paused slightly, and while shifting his attention to the ground that was getting closer and closer to Naruto's body, he slowly lay down on his stomach and continued to speak lazily.
"Tsk, it's obvious that if you turn into a beast directly, you can do a hundred things, and you have to make it look like you want to die to be happy...... Now, stinky boy, what the hell are you going to do next? β
"Offensive and defensive...... If you can master it, you should be able to think so. β
At the same time, Naruto, who was already thoughtful, couldn't help but recall the remarkable effect of the previous few breaths after hearing the words of the Nine Lamas. And then secretly wondered how likely it was to turn this emergency method that had to be thought of temporarily into a technique at the same time. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he struggled to move his shoulders a little bit in front of the strange face of the Nine Lamas, who vaguely sensed that something was wrong and gradually stiffened and solidified, so that he shrugged his shoulders with a playful smile.
"As for what's next...... Of course, I put my mind at ease, and then wait quietly to die~"
"Oh, I see, you're ready to wait...... Ha? It's not, wait...... Waiting to die?! β
The Nine Lamas, who subconsciously repeated Naruto's words lazily, did not react until the words in his mouth were about to be fully revealed, and Naruto had said such a shocking truth. Then the corners of his mouth twitched, and he waved his huge beast claws and slammed them on the indestructible sealing cage. While gritting his teeth, he roared word by word.
"No kidding, stinking imp! This kind of thing is not very funny! Besides, I should have told you a long time ago, right? I don't want to bury you! β
"Who is kidding you, Nine Lamas...... Didn't you see it yourself? β
Compared to realizing Naruto's previous words, to a large extent, it was Naruto who was not joking with himself, so that he instantly became angry...... Leisurely gaze at the ground that is rapidly enlarging and approaching as far as the eye can see. I even enjoyed this kind of "extreme sports" of falling from a height, and narrowed my eyes slightly. It can be said that with action, it is thoroughly explained that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry!
"Almost all of my body, except for my head, has become a solid stone...... When I couldn't move at all, I landed on the ground with my head down. If you think about it this way, I don't seem to have a second choice other than waiting for death, right? β
"Fart! I don't believe it...... You, who have always had one ghost idea after another, will choose to give up so easily! β
As he spoke, the beast's claws poked out of the sealing cage, and then scratched deeply on the solid pillar, scratching one after another claw marks. Seeing that Naruto was still unmoved, as if he was going to die with peace of mind, the Nine Lamas were suddenly angry. Then the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he yelled at Naruto angrily while calling his own chakra. Attempt, as always, to take over Naruto's body control with the help of Chakra's leakage. In order to use the tailed beast Chakra, which is obviously far superior to natural energy, to completely resolve the embarrassing and dangerous situation of turning its body into a stone statue!
And once the petrification of the body is lifted, the freedom of movement is restored...... Not to mention that when the original jump started, it was a little higher. Even if he jumped off the cliff, the Nine Lamas were 100% confident that he would be able to land Naruto's body lightly and sensitively without injury!
"Tsk...... Let's go! I don't want to bury you stinky boy! Whether you really want to die or fake death, I won't accompany you! Your body, I'll take it...... Well?! β
However, before the Nine Lamas could finish the vicious threatening words that poured into their mouths, they were stunned to find that none of their chakras could break through the blocking and suppression of the seal on Naruto's body under the unexpected situation of blocked operation. As a result, no matter how hard the Nine Lamas tried, in this period and a half, they would not be able to take over the control of Naruto's body as easily as before!
"This feeling is...... Stinky boy, did you do it on purpose?! β
And this uncomfortable feeling that made the Nine Lamas unable to exert their strength was obviously not unfamiliar to the Nine Lamas who had been sealed in the bodies of Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kushina one after another long before Naruto was born...... That is the powerful suppression effect of this double four-elephant seal, which should have on the tailed beast Chakra when it complements each other!
It's not that before today, the effect of the double four-elephant seal began to become minimal. So much so that as long as the Nine Lamas wanted to, they could completely take over the control of Naruto's body in less than a breath...... At the end of the day, it was all thanks to Naruto and the Nine Lamas when they let go of each other's mustards and slowly accepted each other with open hearts. Naruto, who is a human pillar force, deliberately used the memories of many sealing techniques passed down to him by his mother to take the initiative to reduce the effect of some of the Four Elephant Seals. In order to reach Z at a critical juncture, leaving the Nine Lamas with an emergency remedy route that will change control of the body at will.
In other words, the reason why there was such an abnormal situation at this critical juncture that almost made the Nine Lamas angry to the point of vomiting blood...... If the reason for this is undoubtedly, it is Naruto, who is the power of the human pillar!
After all, Naruto, who had made up his mind to "wait quietly for death" after being keenly aware of the Nine Lamas' thoughts, not only did he receive the love of the Nine Lamas. On the contrary, as soon as he noticed the thoughts of the Nine Lamas, he did the opposite and voluntarily gave up the plan to maintain this "loophole". And then quietly, it completely cut off the possibility of the Nine Lamas using the artificial "loophole" left on the double four-elephant seal to gain control of Naruto's body! So much so that the Nine Lamas, the head of the Nine Tailed Beasts, could only wait quietly for the arrival of death at this time!
"You're crazy, stinky boy! Do you know what you're doing? β
Such an unexpected fact, and the fact that the ground was constantly approaching and approaching, made the Nine Lamas, who were filled with anger, suddenly blow their beards at Naruto and glare.
"I refused to dodge, so I didn't forget it, and I was still stopping me...... You stinky boy, you really don't want to live, do you?! β
"Of course, didn't I say that a long time ago? I'm ready to die......"
Seeing that he had succeeded in stopping the Nine Lamas's tailed beast chakra from leaking out and avoiding the abandonment of his previous efforts, Naruto couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He immediately replied confidently, turning his neck with difficulty, looking at the empty dense woods below him. Without waiting for the Nine Lamas to refute anything, they continued to speak word by word as if they had pointed out.
"And why hurry? I did say that I was ready to die...... But being prepared to die, and definitely dying, but two different things~"
At the same time, with Naruto's words, the words of the last note came out of his throat...... This fateful situation, which seems to have been decided by the overall situation, is actually between lightning and flint, and it has changed again!
Because, in the vast pit that was originally empty, I don't know when there was a white-haired strong man wearing a strange forehead guard with the word "oil" on his head! It's exactly when I drank [date] wine [meeting] with Tsunade before.,Having a lot of fun!
This gesture ...... Did Immortal Mode fail? It's weird, even if you can't control it skillfully, you should be considered to have completed it, and you won't lose so badly......"
Based on his own experience, Jiraiya, who taught Naruto the immortal mode hand-in-hand, naturally saw the embarrassing dilemma that Naruto needed to face now with just a cursory glance. So much so that while watching Naruto's body fall freely, as expected, he kept moving closer and closer to where he was. As he muttered something in his mouth, his hands quickly sealed. Only then was he able to take effective remedies before Naruto's little brain was really like a watermelon and was smashed to pieces.
"Ninja Needle Jizo!"
Almost at the same time as this soft shout came out, Jiraiya's white hair, which was originally slightly broad, grew and extended dramatically as if it had been stimulated by something! Immediately weaved according to a certain law, just in the air, forming a tough and powerful network of moments. Naruto, whose whole body was turned into a stone statue on a large scale, was wrapped in great strength and planted headlong into Jiraiya's hair!
At the same time, because the purpose of this move was to help Naruto share most of the impact in order to ensure Naruto's life. Jiraiya's full head of gray hair was just turned into a mesh cushion used to catch Naruto's shape. And there is no spike that should be there when this move is usually used.
Of course, there are concerns that make it difficult to fully exert the effectiveness of the needle...... If you just rely on this move, you want to catch Naruto's words. Then, Naruto's ending is definitely still a tragic death on the spot, there is no second choice! The only difference that remains is that the neck is twisted and the "watermelon" that is smashed to pieces, which are two slightly different ways of death.
It is precisely because of this that after Jiraiya cast the needle Jizo, he didn't have time to be distracted and take a second look, so he quickly prepared the second ninjutsu. And then between Naruto's body and hair, he fed back a huge pressure to himself that was difficult for ordinary people to bear. After completing the seal, the hands slammed on the ground under their feet!
"Tu Dun Huangquan Marsh!"
As the last syllable of Jiraiya's mouth was revealed, Naruto's figure, who had been intercepting and buffering from the needle, was still undiminished, and slammed into the ground. At the same time that the earth instantly turned into a soft swamp with strong absorption, and before Naruto had time to react, he fell into an embarrassing posture of a dog gnawing mud!
Obviously, even Zilai was in a hurry and had arrived at the scene in time...... But after all, it was because when I came in a hurry, I didn't have time to enter the immortal mode. Not to mention the fact that it uses the abundance of natural energy to enhance its own strength. So that Jiraiya, who is now a mortal body, is facing Naruto's rapidly falling petrified body. Don't say it's a head-on confrontation. I'm afraid that as soon as my fingers touch Naruto's body, he will be crushed and crushed into meat sauce by this behemoth wrapped in huge power!
It was precisely for this reason that after Jiraiya took a cursory look and determined Naruto's whereabouts, he took a quick look and began to prepare. And although Naruto's landing posture is really indecent and embarrassing compared to the past. But with the double buffer of Needle Jizo and Yellow Spring Swamp, Naruto, who was falling head-down, finally saved his life!
Of course, from Naruto's body, whose upper body was buried deep in the Yellow Spring Swamp, and his legs that were faintly shaking with difficulty, confirmed that Naruto was indeed alive. Jiraiya's actions did not stop there. Instead, he stretched out his hands and grabbed his ankles, pulling Naruto's entire body outward little by little from the powerful suction force of the Yellow Spring Swamp. Take the opportunity to get close to Naruto's body and use the natural energy technique of the same origin. He extradited all the natural energy that was left in Naruto's body into his body. In order to take this as an opportunity, in a short period of time, the preparation work required to enter the immortal mode was greatly reduced. While absorbing and transferring the natural energy in Naruto's body, Naruto's body, which gradually became completely petrified, began to recover rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Jiraiya, who had not yet entered the immortal mode, was able to pull Naruto's entire body out of the Yellow Springs Swamp as a buffer more easily and easily.
"Phew! Phewββ! A mouthful of mud and sand, this feeling is really 'good'! β
At the same time, with the rapid separation of natural energy from his body, Naruto's consciousness gradually returned to a clear and calm state. And then driven by instinct, while vomiting a large amount of mud and sand trapped in his mouth, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
"However, thanks to Naruto, he is just a kid now. As a result, even if the whole body is petrified, the weight added is definitely not exaggerated to the point that the lustful fairy can't catch it...... Otherwise, I really can only use the chakra of the Nine Lamas to forcibly launch the Flying Thunder God Technique to save my life......"
"This time, I won the big bet...... Hehe, it feels good to be alive~"
