“Yosha! Now I can fight them as well!”
Having successfully entered the Sennin Mode, Naruto cheered and raised his hand in excitement. His temperament has undergone a complete change, his originally blue pupils have turned into serpent-like eyes, and traces of snake scales are also visible on his face.
“Yes... now fight!” roared Garaga in a war cry upon feeling the change in Naruto’s temperament as he entered Sennin Mode.
Naruto saw that Garaga was ready to pounce his gigantic body on the five members of the Akatsuki Organization, Naruto hurriedly said, Garaga, except for those five people, please don’t harm the others, they are my companions!”
“Naruto, you are so annoying!” complained Garaga in a dissatisfied tone, however, hid body was moving as per Naruto’s requests, carefully avoiding any of Naruto’s companions.
As Asuma noticed the Giant Snake moving forward to attack them, he as well as the other four shuddered in fear, cold sweat gathered on their back, heck, even the thought of revealing their identity appeared in their minds.
But before they could do anything, Garaga moved his tail and swept the five members of the Akatsuki Organization.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As Garaga’s tail moved, a rumbling sound echoed on the battlefield, all the trees along the way were rooted out, and a mini storm overwhelmed the battlefield, causing the uprooted trees, mud, and stones to sly along with the storm!
“We don’t stand a chance against something like this!” The sheer pressure and speed of Garaga’s tail made Asuma and the others realize the difference in their respective strength.
In the face of such a fast and violent tail sweep, Asuma and the others had no choice but to immediately raise an Earth Wall in defense, but even that proved to be fruitless as the tail directly smashed through the Earth Walls and swept them.
“Damn!” Gritting their teeth, they barely raised their hands in front of them to protect their vitals.
BOOM!
In the face of Garaga’s tail, Asuma and the others were like small rats, they were violently blown away, and heavily slammed into the trees with a loud, Bang!
“Shit! At this rate, those children will...!” muttered Asuma after coughing out a mouthful of blood.
Naruto turned his head back, and flashed a cheerful grin while raising a thumbs up, he said, “Sasuke, don’t worry, I will definitely protect you and everyone!”
Seeing Naruto’s behavior, Garaga said in an annoyed tone, “Hey Naruto! Rather than worrying about that kid, worry about the people standing in front of you... they aren’t defeated yet!”
Naruto nodded vigorously, “I understand Garaga!”
Looking at Naruto’s communication with the Giant Snake, everyone was once again taken aback. Sasuke couldn’t believe what he was seeing, Neji had a bitter expression, and even Asuma and the others were highly surprised, “That Snake is cooperating as per Uzumaki Naruto’s demands!” and the snake wasn’t doing anything to harm the children.
Upon realizing this fact, Asuma and the others were not in a hurry to reveal their identities, instead, they wanted to test Uzumaki Naruto because his sudden performance was way too different from what everyone had expected. They have to test his abilities, after all, this is the main responsibility given to them by Kuroto in this assessment. They have to help the children bring out their true potential by making them experience a desperate situation in a safe environment they would otherwise not encounter.
So with such intention, the four of them quickly made a plan and rushed towards Garaga.
Seeing the four Akatsuki members coming in, Garaga spits out a gray fluid from his mouth.
“Everyone... don’t let that fluid touch you!” shouted Anko as the four instantly split up and distanced themselves from the area where the fluid would fall.
Saaa Saaa Saaa
Wherever the fluid fell, whether, on trees, plants, grass, or some small animals or insects, everything instantly turned into stone.
However, as the attack from the corrosive fluid just passed, suddenly, a small figure appeared in front of them.
“You kid... do you still want to attack us on your own?!” said Asuma upon discovering that it was none other than Naruto, and raised his hand to attack Naruto in the gut.
The honor and confidence of being a Jonin didn’t allow Asuma to actually face Naruto, so he planned to resolve the kid with just a single attack in the gut. Because of having confidence in his physical strength, Asuma believed that it would be more than enough to knock out Naruto... however, what he expected didn’t happen.
Instead of Naruto getting knocked out, there was a loud muffled sound, Bang!
Instead of Naruto getting knocked out by Asuma’s punch, he met the attack head-on with his own small fist.
And instead of Naruto getting blasted away, it was Asuma who–under the astonished eyes of all the bystanders and viewers–was blasted out because of being overpowered by Naruto’s punch!
