Naruto laughed and said, "Don't worry~ I won't make the same mistake twice. The priority now is to find out what this Yu-chan is capable of!"
With a flick of the wrist, the ninja smoke screen landed in the hand, obscuring the figure with its smoke!
"Whoosh!" Naruto, wielding a Rasengan, leaped into the air from the smoke and charged straight at the motionless Yu!
"Whoosh!" Yu nimbly dodged.
Naruto turned around and smiled: "You're pretty agile!"
"Whoosh!" As he spoke, Sasuke, wielding Chidori, cut behind Yu.
Her long, flowing hair swayed with her movements, deftly avoiding the lightning bolts that shot from under her armpits.
After passing each other, Naruto and Sasuke straightened up and launched a combined attack of Rasengan and Chidori from the left and right!
As they advanced, Naruto smiled confidently and said, "Go ahead, Yu-chan! We need to decide what offensive strategy to take, in line with your methods!"
"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."
Yu shrugged, and barbs on his immortal robe protruded. In an instant, more than a dozen sharp bone spikes shot out of the robe and grew wildly, stabbing towards the two people on the left and right!
—The Corpse Bone Pulse!
"What!?"
The two people on either side were shocked by the sudden scene and their expressions changed, but they still managed to evade it by relying on their Sage Mode perception and Sharingan insight!
While avoiding the sharp edge, it grazed the bones of their arms, shoulder blades, armpits, and waists, leaving them suspended in mid-air!
"Crack!" "Crack!" As the bone spurs pierced through, Yu quickly formed a hand seal, and his long arms came from the gaps in the bones, simultaneously gripping the throats of the two men!
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" Two scorching fireballs ignited in his palms!
"This is……!?"
—Scorching Escape: Over-Steam Kill!
The two figures were instantly burned into shriveled candles and disappeared into the white smoke!
The shadow clone that was scouting ahead was killed in a single exchange.
As the smoke cleared, Naruto and Sasuke both stood rooted to the spot.
Naruto was especially shocked: "That was Kimimaro and Pakura's bloodline limit, the power of Shikotsumyaku and Scorch Release!"
Sasuke clenched his fist and said in a deep voice to Yu, "Make your move, continue."
Uchiha Yu, as the reverse of Uchiha Chen's twin flowers, does not have the innate strong physique of the original Chen, but has a special constitution.
It only requires the implantation of a tiny number of cells to achieve the ability to merge bloodline limits without any side effects or quantity limits.
Including the Wood Release he recently obtained using Hashirama Senju's chakra, Dust can currently use sixteen different bloodline limits through Yu's body.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh." The bone spikes retracted, and the holes pierced in the immortal's robe were smoothed out.
Yu smiled radiantly and addressed Naruto and Sasuke, who were on high alert.
"I told you I'm not good at fighting, so you guys go first~"
Chapter 64 Yu and Naruto & Sasuke (Part 2)
The pressure was once again placed on Naruto and Sasuke.
“Sasuke, it seems we underestimated this Yu-chan from the very beginning.”
"Yes, her strength is much greater than expected. This was evident in her battle with the clone just now; she is quite agile. No wonder she is the only direct disciple of the Living Slug Immortal."
As he spoke, Sasuke observed the live slug's reaction.
"She just demonstrated the Corpse Bone Pulse and Scorching Escape techniques, but the Living Slug Immortal's expression remained calm, which shows that she already had some understanding of her disciple's abilities."
Turning his gaze away, Sasuke said solemnly, "Naruto, let's get serious. Even if our methods go too far, the Living Slug Sage will keep an eye on things and won't kill her."
"Ah, that's what I thought too!" Naruto raised his left palm, and the Rasengan transformed into the sharpness of a shuriken amidst the sharp sound of wind blades!
"To be honest, I'm very excited right now! I feel like I've gone back to my youth!"
Naruto, wielding a Rasenshuriken in one hand, launched a youthful sprint, keeping an eye on the expression on the face of the slug girl in the sky as he charged.
The immortal made no move, indicating that she tacitly agreed that Yu-mei-mei could withstand this attack.
"So, would adding a little something be acceptable?"
Naruto's lips curled up, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he swung it from a distance!
"It's time to vindicate the toad's magic!"
—Frog Kumite!
"Whoosh!" Natural energy transformed into an invisible fist, striking towards Yu's face!
But then, Yu Li, sensing something, raised his right palm and swung it in the direction from which the natural energy was coming!
—Live Slug Cactus!
The collision of the two natural energies created a sonic boom in the air between the two people, as well as shockwaves that reverberated in all directions!
"Ugh!" "Uh!" Yu and Naruto were both thrown away by the shockwave.
Naruto was farther away from the impact, so he steadied himself first. He raised his left hand to gather strength and threw Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken at Yu, who was still retreating in his line of sight!
"I'm sorry, Sister Yu, this exchange may have to end here!"
"Whoosh!" The spiraling wind blades, carrying the sound of cutting, approached within five meters of Yu's body!
Yu was still retreating from the aftershocks of the shockwave, and it seemed impossible for her to avoid the range of the Rasenshuriken.
However, when Sasuke looked up at the unmoved Living Slug Sage, his heart skipped a beat.
The lively young girl smiled sweetly, revealing two shallow dimples on her cheeks.
"Don't underestimate her, she's the mascot of Shikkotsu Forest~."
Then, the beautiful figure who was walking backward against the wind suddenly swept her feet into a circle, and with her hands clenched, she actually grasped the invisible and intangible natural energy in her palms.
A black waterfall dances wildly, its outstretched arms moving its waist in a spinning motion, like a top.
—Live Slug Roll!
Looking at this scene from afar, Naruto vaguely saw the figure of the deceased.
"That posture is just like Neji's Rotation!"
Naruto's initial sense of unease was quickly replaced by a profound shock!
The Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken that flew towards Yu was swept back by a vortex of natural energy created by the rotation of Yu's body!
"Impossible! The Rasenshuriken bounced back!"
The lively slug girl playfully said, "Lively Slug Roll~, I created this Sage-style defensive technique inspired by the ancient Hyuga Gentle Fist, which complements the main offensive 'Lively Slug Palm.' It can control natural energy and reflect projectile-type skills back along their original path."
"Naruto, this situation isn't looking good for you now~"
"Alright, this is how a battle should be! Show me the power of the Slug Sage Technique!" Naruto rallied his spirits, a surge of pride welling up within him, and his reactions were swift and decisive.
He stretched out his hand and condensed another Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, then threw it to intercept the first one that had been deflected by the Living Slug!
"Boom!" The collision of two Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken created a storm field with a diameter of no less than fifty meters in the Netherworld Valley.
Behind them, Yu shielded her face with her hands to protect herself from the storm's gusts of wind, her long, flowing hair dancing wildly in the breeze.
"Sister Yu, I admit you are very capable, but now is not the time to look around!"
Naruto circled around from the side of the storm field, pressing down with overwhelming force!
"That move just now, the only type of skill that could deflect it was a projectile-based skill, right?"
"This isn't a ballistic technique; you can't bounce it back!"
——"Immortal Technique·Super Large Jade Rasengan!"
"Whoosh!" With a powerful shout, Naruto's Rasengan expanded wildly in front of his palm, threatening to crush everything in its path.
"Whoosh!" Yu didn't hesitate, she flew backward and her hands formed a seal in a swift motion.
—Water Release: Water Horn!
"Whoosh!" With a splash, a jet of water, shaped like a giant trumpet, erupted from her delicate, orchid-like mouth!
The water crashed over him, halting Naruto's momentum, but the smile on his lips remained.
"Sister Yu, you've finally used a decent ninjutsu! A very powerful Water Release technique! It's comparable to the old Mizukage of Kirigakure! But it's unrealistic to think you can stop me with this!"
Just as he was preparing to use his full power, the Super Giant Rasengan, to sweep away all the water in front of him,
The Sage Art: Super Giant Rasengan began to shrink rapidly in front of his palm!
Then, a feeling of exhaustion washed over me like a tidal wave!
Naruto suddenly realized, "My Sage Mode... has reached its limit?"
Before the battle, Kurama, whom Naruto had specifically instructed not to make a sound, sighed in Naruto's heart: Naruto, given the fatigue you've accumulated over this period, this is your limit without using my power.
Seeing Naruto's condition plummet, he was swept back by the current!
Sasuke's black robes fluttered as he went against the current and pulled him into his arms with his single arm.
At this moment, the Feather Seal Technique changed.
—Ice Release: Crystal Wall!
"Crack!" The water surrounding the two of them instantly froze into an ice wall.
The bone-chilling cold caused Naruto's pupils to dilate violently, and he let out a weak gasp: "She...she even knows Ice Release!"
"Sizzle!" A line of bright red blood fell down Sasuke's right eye socket, and blood vessels split open on the sclera of that Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
(Note: Sasuke in Boruto can use his right eye to release Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi simultaneously.)
—Amaterasu Kagutsuchi!
"Crack! Crack!" The released black flames were instantly transformed into the form of fire spears, crisscrossing and breaking through the ice that bound the two of them!
"No, it's more than just Ice Release..." Sasuke stared at the double attack of lava and acid raining down from above!
"Melting Escape and Melting Escape... are simultaneously mixed with the power of immortal techniques."
"Is there no other way?" Sasuke smiled bitterly, his right eye shining brightly, using the power of his single eye to support the Susanoo's skeletal defense!
"Whoosh!" The skeleton barely managed to block the combined fusion and dissolution techniques at the cost of complete melting.
"To be honest, I never imagined this exchange would escalate to this point," Sasuke said, squeezing out the last of his eye power.
Now, we have to fight for pride, even if it's just for a steamed bun... Although it's just a friendly exchange, we represent the face of Konoha.
"Snap!" The Susanoo, enveloped in a dark purple aura, was reforged, wrapped around the fascia, and entered its second form!
Goodbye to the fully drawn bow, but the young man is nowhere to be seen.
"Clang!" Sasuke's eyes trembled as he secretly aimed an arrow at Yu, who was ten meters away.
The Living Slug Sage remains unmoved? Does this prove that this move is still not strong enough against Yu?
"How about this?" Sasuke desperately squeezed out his eye power, and his right eye was covered with spider web-like blood vessels under the scarlet blood light!
"Boom!" Purple ghostly flames gathered, and the Tengu's heavy armor clad his body. With his single eye, Sasuke activated the ultimate form of Susanoo's half-body mode—'Crow Tengu'! (See attached image)
The image is unrelated to the text; it's just to clarify which form of Karasu Tengu the scroll refers to.
The massive black flame arrow, burning fiercely, was nocked onto the bowstring, its blazing edge once again locking onto the figure that was swaying in the distance!
At that moment, Sasuke vaguely saw... the figure of the Living Slug Sage in the sky move.
He laughed: "This trick works..."
"Snap!" Just as the arrow was about to leave the bowstring, a heart-wrenching scream, as if tearing nerves apart, came from deep within the eye socket!
"Aaaaaah...!" Sasuke wailed as the black flame arrow dissipated, and the tengu shattered into a skeleton!
With his single arm, he struggled to support Naruto, then knelt heavily on one knee on the ground covered with broken ice.
The skeleton surrounding the body stubbornly held on for three seconds before collapsing with a deafening roar.
Sasuke, who had been kneeling, managed to put Naruto down before lying on his back on the ground.
The live slug hovered in mid-air.
