Bab 155: Chapter 155: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken
In the next moment, a massive fireball was expelled from Natsuro's shadow clone, it was the Great Fireball Jutsu. Simultaneously, Gamabunta wasn't idle either. The giant toad spewed large quantities of toad oil, which ignited upon contact with fire!
Although Natsuro's fire release technique wasn't particularly powerful and fell short of a typical fire release user's strength, his role here was simply to ignite the flames. The true power came from Gamabunta's toad oil and…
Natsuro himself, who smiled as he completed his hand signs.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Suddenly, fierce winds surged, making the already large fireball blaze even more intensely. Not only that, but Natsuro's Great Breakthrough also dispersed the toad oil, spreading it across the battlefield. While this reduced its concentrated power, it significantly increased its range.
Now, the Toad Oil Flame Bomb covered the entire area occupied by the Otogakure forces, blotting out the sky. The fire's size could almost be compared to the Tailed Beast Bomb or the full-powered Planetary Devastation of the Rinnegan.
Of course, in terms of destructive power, it couldn't match those legendary techniques, but the sheer scale, intensity, and heat were enough to shock everyone. The sky seemed to be dyed red, as if engulfed by an endless blaze.
This achieved Natsuro's objective, to demonstrate his overwhelming strength.
At that moment, every Sunagakure ninja watching felt that the figure standing atop the giant toad was invincible, like a god.
As time passed, the massive flame projectile finally crashed into the ground where the Otogakure forces stood. Instantly, all vegetation was reduced to ashes, and every Water Release technique was vaporized.
The surging heat waves conveyed the sheer terror and power of this scene to everyone present.
With one attack… the battlefield was cleared!
The blazing fire continued to burn for a long time, even after all combustible material was consumed, as if it wanted to incinerate the very ground itself.
After some time, the flames finally subsided, and the Sunagakure forces could once again see the battlefield. What they saw made them swallow hard in disbelief.
With a single strike, almost no one on the enemy side remained standing. Even the majority of corpses had been completely erased from existence. Only a few who were at the edges of the blast managed to survive, barely clinging to life.
The scene resembled a vision of hell.
"So... strong," Kankuro muttered, sweat dripping from his forehead. It was unclear whether it was from the heat or the terror that gripped his heart.
At that moment, all of them were grateful that the previous battle had taken place in Konoha, where such a large-scale jutsu couldn't be used. If not, many of the Sunagakure shinobi who survived the earlier invasion might not have made it out alive.
After witnessing the destruction on the Otogakure side, all eyes once again turned toward the sky.
The massive toad had disappeared, revealing the crimson-stained sky. Under that blood-red sky stood Natsuro, hovering in the air, as if defying gravity.
At that moment, all the Sunagakure ninjas became convinced of one thing: Natsuro wasn't human... He was a god!
They couldn't deny it, he could summon such devastating jutsu and was even capable of flight!
In reality, Natsuro wasn't truly flying. Rather, he was floating, using magnetic fields. After dispersing Gamabunta, he used iron plates to wrap around his body, then manipulated the magnetic fields to float in mid-air.
This was something he couldn't do before, but after his breakthrough in the Void State, his lightning release advanced, and the intensity of his electrical currents increased. As a result, he could now float using concepts of electromagnetism and even change the direction of the magnetic field to move in the air. However, his flight speed was still quite slow.
With this technique, Natsuro believed he had fully demonstrated his strength. In reality, this wasn't a particularly powerful attack, an elite jonin could have survived it. After all, Natsuro had spread the power of the Toad Oil Flame Bomb, and while the combination of Wind Release, Fire Release, and toad oil was fearsome, the dispersion reduced its lethality. Any skilled jonin could have withstood it. Unfortunately…
There wasn't a single jonin among the enemy ranks, no one, not even the Sound Four, was that strong.
However, to Natsuro's surprise, the Sound Four had managed to survive, using a Earth Release Sealing Jutsu that encased them in a protective barrier. It seemed the other three had been funneling their chakra into Jirobo, the large member of the group, to withstand the attack.
Technically, Natsuro had already completed his mission with that strike. However, after glancing at Gaara, he reconsidered. While his previous display might have fooled most people, it likely wouldn't deceive Gaara, who could see through the exaggerated strength of that attack.
Gaara, soon to be the Fifth Kazekage, deserved a more genuine demonstration of power. Natsuro decided to give him a more precise show, using the Sound Four as his target.
It was fortunate that the Sound Four had survived, he needed someone to demonstrate his next technique.
In the next moment, Natsuro extended his hand, and a spinning sphere of chakra began to form. The air was soon filled with a piercing sound.
"Is that... Wind Release?" Baki exclaimed, unable to contain his shock.
From his distance, he could only see the white glow in Natsuro's hand, which radiated an immense amount of chakra. The deafening noise made it clear just how powerful this jutsu was.
Gaara, though appearing calm, also narrowed his eyes. Could his sand armor withstand this technique? Even Shukaku, his tailed beast, would have a hard time shrugging off such an attack.
"Natsuro..." Gaara thought, recalling Naruto Uzumaki, then looking up at Natsuro floating in the sky. Is Konoha really this strong?
At that moment, Natsuro's face was slightly pale, the Rasenshuriken took an enormous amount of chakra to use. Despite having just taken two chakra pills, his reserves were already nearly depleted.
Gazing at the Rasenshuriken in his hand, Natsuro felt a bit emotional. He hadn't expected the first time he'd use it to be here. It almost seemed like the technique's potential was wasted in this battle.
There hadn't been many opportunities to use it before. When facing Orochimaru, he didn't have enough chakra for it, and against Itachi… well, stealth was key in that fight. Techniques like Rasenshuriken were too loud, much like Chidori.
If Natsuro could have used Rasenshuriken to launch a sneak attack, Itachi might have been killed instantly. Rasenshuriken's cellular-level damage would have been a sure-kill against someone like Itachi, who lacked strong defenses against such an attack.
Thinking of this, Natsuro tossed the Rasenshuriken forward like a ball.
When it hit the Earth Release barrier, it cut through it effortlessly. In the terrified eyes of the Sound Four, it landed right in their midst…
The next moment, the Rasenshuriken detonated, its blinding white light engulfing the four of them completely.
After observing for a moment, Natsuro looked away. It didn't take long and the Sound Four quickly succumbed. This Rasenshuriken, while no stronger than the incomplete version in terms of raw power, was able to be thrown. And that was enough.
Natsuro knew that once he fully mastered the conversion of chakra into natural energy, the technique's power would undergo a significant leap.
After swallowing another chakra pill, Natsuro used Flying Thunder God to teleport to the frontlines of Sunagakure's forces, arriving where he had left his marked kunai earlier.
"The cleanup is up to you. There are still some hidden Sound Ninja around," Natsuro said to Baki as he pulled out his kunai. Then, without waiting for a response, his figure vanished, heading back to Konoha.
"Al... alright," Baki replied dryly, even though Natsuro's figure had already disappeared.
At that moment, Baki was completely shaken. Such an enormous amount of chakra could actually be thrown, and that power...
Even after Natsuro had left, the effects of his jutsu were still lingering. Moreover, that sudden vanishing technique... There was no way the Body Flicker Technique could achieve that...
With his vast experience, Baki couldn't help but recall a certain name: The Yellow Flash.
As soon as Baki thought of that name, he couldn't help but click his tongue in disbelief.
In the future, if anyone in Sunagakure dared to propose provoking Konoha, he would be the first to jump up and oppose it.
With a monster like Natsuro around, provoking Konoha would be like seeking your own demise!
Soon, the power of the Rasenshuriken dissipated, leaving a deep crater in the ground, exposing the bodies of the Sound Four at the bottom.
Baki then signaled to the main forces to begin the cleanup. There wasn't much left for him to do, as Natsuro had already killed all the enemies single-handedly. Baki's side hardly had anything left to handle.
Baki, along with Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari, approached the remains of the Sound Four, but they were surprised to find that their bodies were still intact.
Could it be possible to survive such an attack and remain so unscathed? Or perhaps it was another case of an outwardly impressive but inwardly weak jutsu?
No, they couldn't say that Natsuro's first jutsu was weak. If he had chosen to concentrate the power instead of dispersing it, the focused force would have been unimaginably destructive.
Baki then began to inspect the bodies of the Sound Four, hoping to gather some information about the jutsu that had been used against them.
However, as Baki continued his inspection, his expression shifted dramatically. He realized that, while the surface of their bodies appeared untouched, internally, every cell in their bodies had been pierced, shredded, and destroyed.
Was such an attack something any human could withstand?
Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari quickly noticed the terrifying truth as well, their expressions growing heavy. Gaara, in particular, recognized that even he wouldn't be able to face such an attack head-on. He would have to find a way to avoid it at all costs.
At that moment, Gaara gazed at the scorched earth, the sky still tinted red from the flames that had yet to fully dissipate, and the remains of the Sound Four. He also recalled the terrifying jutsu Natsuro had used before disappearing...
Gaara had always sensed Natsuro's immense strength, but even he hadn't anticipated just how overwhelming that strength truly was!
"Natsuro," Gaara would remember this name.
