章節 87: Chapter 87 Having Been Drenched by Rain, I Excel at Ruining Others' Umbrellas
Seeing Kabuto's mental defenses break down, Naruto swiftly retreated, bending his knees to jump back three times in a row.
Kabuto, successfully provoked by Naruto, was nearly driven mad. At one point, he had a gentle light in his life, someone who was more important to him than even a mother, Yakushi Nono, the Orphanage's director.
But he didn't know that Nono was the former top intelligence gathering officer of the Root, known as the 'Wandering Miko'. She had only become the Orphanage's director after withdrawing from the Root.
Because Kabuto was too outstanding, he had caught the eye of Danzo at a very young age and was dragged into the Root.
Nono could only learn about Kabuto's condition through photos as she was not allowed to see him in person.
Danzo seized this flaw and started to make trouble. By slowly replacing Kabuto's photos, he gradually erased Nono's memory of the real Kabuto's appearance.
In the end, Nono completely mistook someone else for Kabuto, forgetting what the real Kabuto looked like.
So when she received the mission to assassinate Kabuto Nono felt no emotional turmoil. She didn't know how the real Kabuto looked like, and Kabuto also didn't know that the person who assassinated him was Nono, so he killed her instead.
Kabuto was originally an orphan who had lost his memories. It was Nono who had given him a name, warmth, and a sense of self. But in the end, Nono didn't recognize him, even at the moment of her death.
The last person in the world who remembered his existence died, and he lost his true self as well.
"Nono doesn't remember you at all. Isn't that ironic? Your existence has no meaning, no one cares whether you live or die."
As Naruto dodged Kabuto's attacks, he taunted him with a mocking expression, each word cutting deeper into Kabuto's heart. He had no intention of guiding people toward the light. Instead, every word was a silent, devastating blow.
"Shut up!"
Kabuto snarled with a ferocious look on his face, and the Chakra Scalpel in his hand gathered into a short whip, and he aggressively pursued Naruto.
"You have nothing and nowhere to go."
Naruto continued his verbal assault, moving more fluidly with each step, his sword strikes becoming increasingly precise. Kabuto's attacks grew wild and uncoordinated as he desperately tried to kill Naruto, his sanity slipping away with each reckless strike.
"Shut up!"
The air rippled with warmth as Kabuto's Chakra Scalpel slashed through it. Naruto knew better than to let his guard down. After all, a single hit could sever his tendons or ligaments.
Kabuto's speed was overwhelming, forcing Naruto to abandon forming hand seals altogether.
Naruto dodged step by step, continuously provoking Kabuto's nerves. Jiraiya hadn't arrived yet, Tsunade had already lost her combat power, and Shizune couldn't handle Orochimaru on her own.
"If you can't find your own identity, then just rob it from someone else!" Kabuto rolled over and swung a Chakra chainsaw-like at Naruto.
"What a joke! Then go ahead and rob it!" Naruto slashed at the chainsaw, bringing the two of them face to face once more. Through the narrow gap, they locked eyes, both gritting their teeth with menacing smiles.
On the other side, Shizune had already started fighting with Orochimaru in order to protect Tsunade.
Naruto silently prayed in his heart that the Pervy Sage would come to the rescue quickly, all while missing the timely rescues that Sasuke used to deliver.
"People like you, who have a name and identity, will never understand the despair of someone like me, who is completely blank." Bloodshot suddenly appeared in Kabuto's eyes, and his gaze was vicious.
"Uzumaki Naruto!" He panted heavily, like a wild beast, "Do you know what it feels like to kill yourself with your own hands? I am nothing."
"Names are just marks, and glasses are tools. You're right! From the start, I was nothing, I had nothing!"
"Heh." Naruto's face was equally ferocious, "What disgusting nonsense are you spewing? If your life has no meaning, then just die already!"
"You think I'd feel sorry for you? I'd kill you right now and spit on your grave. You think you've figured something out? If you have anything to say, save it for Nono!"
But Nono was dead, so who could Kabuto possibly talk to?
Kabuto didn't know how Naruto knew all this, but at this moment, Kabuto had no time to think, as his anger had overwhelmed his reason.
Naruto was fighting like a madman, showing no regard for consequences, as if he didn't care about the consequences.
If he couldn't have it, he'd destroy it, no redemption, no mercy. In the life-and-death struggle, why should he care who was more pitiful? Only the living has the right to spit on their enemy's grave.
Kabuto's life had been completely stolen by Danzo through despicable means. And until her last breath, Nono still believed that Kabuto was still living safely in Konoha.
Death is a constant, and so is tragedy.
But the world is not fake, the warmth of a loved one is real, and all Naruto wanted was to take it easy.
So, he said the most venomous thing he could to Kabuto.
"Have you ever wondered why it wasn't you who died that day?"
With a roar, Kabuto broke down completely, screaming in agony.
"Shut up! I'm going to kill you!!"
"KILL YOU, UZUMAKI NARUTO!!!"
"Bring it on!!" Naruto's neck veins bulged as he shouted back, refusing to back down. Lava Release Chakra instantly covered his blade, "Why did Nono raise something like you?"
It was so dirty. Naruto once again demonstrated the most shining quality in Shinobi duels, his flexible moral bottom line.
A child who has been drenched by rain is the best at ruining other people's umbrellas.
He knew exactly what could instantly crush a person's spirit, what could utterly destroy their beliefs.
With his blade engulfed in flames, Naruto charged at Kabuto like a young cheetah, and the molten lava completely scorched the blade red. Kabuto's Chakra Scalpel screeched as it aimed straight for Naruto's heart.
But Naruto's combat instincts were astonishingly sharp. In an instant, it was as if the whole world slowed down. The sound of wind, the hum of Shizune's poison needles slicing through the air, the chakra scalpel, all of it seemed to be infinitely magnified in his eyes.
In that split second, Naruto's leg muscles exploded with power, making him jerk violently like a leaf caught in a hurricane. Just like a movie tape being stuck, a black and white picture flashed by with a sizzling sound.
The high-speed twitching allowed Naruto to miraculously dodge the Chakra Scalpel. He had already reached into Kabuto's side. Then, without any hesitation, he swung his molten blade.
Kabuto's pupils dilated as the molten blade sliced into his right ribs. Fortunately, he activated Yin Healing Wound Destruction just in time. Before his right side was attacked, he mobilized his cells to heal in advance.
In this way, the cells that are constantly being destroyed and the cells that are constantly healing are intertwined together crazily, making it look like he was rapidly healing from his injuries.
This Ninjutsu is similar to Tsunade's Creation Rebirth and can be considered an exquisite Ninjutsu.
At the same time, the blade in Naruto's hand could not withstand the high temperature and broke. Kabuto's eyes narrowed, and a wicked grin spread across his face as his Chakra Scalpel surged.
In that instant…
Naruto casually threw away the broken Ninja Sword in his hand. Then, while Kabuto almost doubted his own eyes, a brand new Ninja Sword suddenly appeared in his hand!!!

章節 88: Chapter 88 The Sword is Good, Now It's Mine
A layer of haze covered Naruto's eyes, and a disdainful sneer appeared on his face.
'Poor Kabuto, you're utterly clueless about what it means to truly be wealthy.'
'How much could a simple Ninja Sword cost? Of course, I'd buy a hundred at a time, why settle for just one?'
Kabuto was stunned, feeling the situation outrageous!
But Naruto didn't care. Living humbly is a challenging art in itself.
Seizing the moment while Kabuto was still in shock, Naruto swiftly channeled his Lava Release into the blade and swung another diagonal slash at Kabuto.
He did consider stabbing Kabuto straight through the heart, as he would not show mercy to the enemy no matter what.
However, if Kabuto dodges, the blade might get stuck in his ribs and be difficult to pull out, not to mention his face might be covered in blood.
Naruto abandoned that idea in an instant, opting instead for a diagonal slash. If he could severely injure Kabuto again, the battle would be nearly over, and he could always finish the job later if he was not dead.
With the agility of the swiftest cheetah, Naruto's body moved like a lightning bolt, the molten blade blazing white-hot as it cut through Kabuto's side.
Drip, drip.
Kabuto clutched his side as he staggered out of the smoke, blood dripping onto the ground. He had no choice but to swallow a blood-replenishing pill to replenish the blood he'd lost in battle.
The battle only lasted for a moment. Kabuto was already at the level of a Jonin. Although he was not as good as Kakashi or Guy, he was still young with great potential.
An average person's talent was fully displayed in Kabuto, and handling a kid like Naruto should've been easy.
However, battle is all about seizing the moment and striking with precision. Naruto had the advantage, dodging Kabuto's attacks at high speed and boldly moving within Kabuto's striking range. More importantly, Yakushi couldn't figure out where Naruto got the new sword from.
This time, he'd really suffered a lot. His body was becoming increasingly sluggish, and continuing the fight with the current condition seemed impossible.
The dark red molten lava flowed along the blade, and the Ninja Sword in Naruto's hand revealed a golden color. The intense heat radiating from it suggested the sword was on the verge of breaking.
The battle between the two had lasted no more than two minutes from start till now. From trading blows to exchanging insults, the outcome of the battle was decided in just two minutes.
Naruto had chosen the dirtiest tactics and the quickest way to fight.
It is impossible for him to kill Kabuto immediately, meanwhile, Shizune on the other side was barely holding on. If Orochimaru doesn't die, he will have the means to save Kabuto.
However, if Shizune and Tsunade died, they would really die for real. Continuing to tangle with Kabuto wasn't worth it, so when Naruto realized he couldn't deliver a fatal blow, he switched to dealing a heavy injury instead.
With a scream, Shizune was kicked away by Orochimaru.
Even without his hands, Orochimaru was still fierce, like a madman with nothing to lose. And he truly had nothing to fear. As an emotionless, 'immortal' being, he had almost no weaknesses.
Shizune fell on the grass, blood oozing from her wounds.
Orochimaru didn't bother with her anymore, instead opened his mouth to release a sword, then turned to face Naruto. Naruto almost got goosebumps all over his body, but he could only steel himself to fight.
The slippery snake left Naruto with almost no time to think, and Kyubi's Chakra surrounded his entire body. His leg muscles tensed like those of a rabbit ready to spring.
[Kyubi's approval: 19.8%]
The sword in Naruto's hand shattered instantly upon contact with Orochimaru's snake sword, after all, the Kusanagi Sword was unbeatable.
Naruto dodged and retreated, and Orochimaru smiled sinisterly and rushed straight towards the blood-phobic Tsunade.
Upon seeing the blood, Tsunade completely lost her ability to fight. She sat on the grass, trembling all over. It's as if she had become a different person, entirely consumed by overwhelming fear.
Weak and helpless, she seemed like a frightened child.
If Naruto didn't already know that Tsunade had a fear of blood, he might have thought she was just putting on an act.
But seeing how Kabuto had been shaken mentally by his words, it wasn't too surprising that Tsunade would react this way.
In that split second, Naruto realized it was too late to go to Tsunade's side. He stepped back, but Orochimaru was already heading toward Tsunade.
Flying Thunder God: Second Stage!
The kunai was thrown, moving so fast that it pierced through the air with a sharp, whistling sound.
At this time, Jiraiya finally arrived, his voice sounding a bit strained.
"Fire Release: Flame Bullet!"
The Flying Thunder God Kunai arrived first. Orochimaru hadn't expected that the Yondaime's Flying Thunder God Technique would appear at this time. He was startled when Naruto suddenly appeared beside the kunai and tackled Tsunade to the ground.
The Kusanagi Sword missed Tsunade, but instead pierced right through Naruto.
The sudden, intense pain made Naruto realize that he had been struck by the Kusanagi Sword, a legendary weapon that no amount of money could buy.
The severe shock caused Naruto to lose his composure and he spat out a mouthful of blood on Tsunade's chest.
Jiraiya's Flame Bullet arrived a second later, forcing Orochimaru, who was about to pull out the sword, to retreat several dozen meters.
"Ahhhh!!!"
Tsunade screamed in terror as Naruto's blood splattered on her, and the scenes of her younger brothers, Nawaki and her lover, Dan's deaths flashed through her mind. She recalled the desperate rain-soaked nights when the bleeding could not be stopped no matter what she did.
"Naruto!"
Jiraiya's pupils dilated, but Orochimaru blocked his path, and Kabuto, looking slightly recovered, jumped back to Orochimaru's side.
As for whether he has recovered from the mental shock caused Naruto's verbal attacks, it is unknown.
Tsunade watched in horror as Naruto lay in her arms, her pupils widening in shock at the sight of the blood. She screamed, her mind breaking down, her body trembling, her face contorted with fear and helplessness.
Suddenly, the seriously injured Naruto raised his bloodied hand and, without warning, wiped it across Tsunade's face.
Tsunade was stunned. Naruto coughed violently, using all his strength to lean toward her ear. This scene of him whispering his last words was eerily familiar, pushing Tsunade to the brink of collapse.
However…
Naruto's hand slipped from her face to her neck. He used all his strength to pull Tsunade over, and then said with a weak and dying look on his face, "Tsunade-sama, I... I've never... asked you for anything."
"Stop talking! Please, stop!" Tsunade collapsed and cried, her tears started falling, "Why did you do this? How could you be so stupid?!"
Naruto's breathing became more rapid. He clutched Tsunade tightly, his eyes almost bulging out, and he shouted hoarsely like an old man who was about to die, "Quick... pull out... pull out the sword."
"Now... it... it's mine!"
Tsunade froze as she stared blankly at Naruto. Tears streamed down her porcelain-like cheeks, dripping from her chin into Naruto's eyes, and she burst into tears.
Naruto didn't understand why Tsunade was crying, but he knew he couldn't lose the Kusanagi Sword. He wanted to shout again, 'Hurry and pull out the sword! If you don't, Orochimaru is going to steal it!'
'The sword is good, now it's mine!'
Tsunade held Naruto and cried uncontrollably. Naruto's mouth opened slightly, his eyes dim, silently mouthing the words.
'Pull out the sword!'
