"you wanna die!!!"
Shi Li was completely enraged. Shame and indignation, along with a sense of foreboding, caused him to lose his composure instantly!
He exchanged a glance with Kim Yeon-hwa, who was equally surprised and uncertain but had already revealed her murderous intent.
The two of them swooped down from the mast at the same time, like two night owls pouncing on their prey, and attacked Naruto with all their might!
"Next, leave it to me."
Naruto spoke calmly to Konohamaru behind him and to all the stunned onlookers.
Yet it carried an undeniable and powerful self-confidence.
Faced with Ishitate's lightning-fast attack and the paralyzing threads that shimmered with an eerie light, cast from the side by Kinrenka, Naruto moved!
His speed was completely different from when he was petrified!
It was so fast that only a golden afterimage remained!
Shi Lizhi's seemingly inevitable poisoned blade stab only struck air!
As if he had a premonition, Naruto easily dodged the attack by a hair's breadth, and at the same time, he delivered a backhand elbow strike that landed precisely on Ishitate's ribs!
Crack! A clear sound of bone breaking!
Shi Li let out a painful groan, feeling as if he had been hit by a speeding carriage.
He staggered and flew backward, his eyes filled with horror!
On the other side, the paralyzing threads of the Golden Love Flower are about to wrap around Naruto's arm.
But then Naruto formed a hand seal with one hand, so fast that it was almost impossible to see!
"Wind Escape·Big Breakthrough!"
A violent whirlwind suddenly appeared out of nowhere, like an invisible wall, instantly blowing Jin Lianhua's annoying threads and herself to the side.
All the smoke and hallucinations were blown away!
"what?!"
Jin Lianhua was shocked and tried to steady herself.
But Naruto didn't give her any chance!
Before the wind escaping had completely dissipated, his figure had already appeared in front of Kinrenka as if by teleportation!
"Your dance is awful," Naruto's cold voice rang in her ear.
Immediately afterwards, an incredibly heavy straight punch slammed into Kim Lian-hwa's soft abdomen!
"puff--!"
Jin Lianhua's eyes suddenly bulged out, and she vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with gastric juices!
The intense pain caused her body to instantly curl up like a shrimp!
Naruto didn't pause at all.
Grab her hair and lift her up.
Then, as if smashing a rag doll, he slammed it hard onto the hard dock floor!
The ground was smashed into a shallow crater, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards!
Jin Lianhua couldn't even let out a scream.
His body twitched a few times, then fell completely silent, and blood slowly spread from beneath him.
In the blink of an eye, one of the two powerful enemies was seriously injured and the other was dead!
Shi Li struggled to get up from the ground, the sharp pain in his ribs making it difficult for him to breathe.
He watched Naruto slowly approach him like a god of death, then looked at the tragically dead Kinrenka and the Kongo embedded in the mountain.
A terrible thought washed over him like ice water, making his voice tremble:
"You...you did it on purpose...you weren't...we weren't suppressing you at all...you were petrified on purpose?!"
Naruto twisted his neck, making a soft cracking sound.
A bright yet chilling smile appeared on his face: "Oh! You guessed right! Too bad, there's no reward... Well, if I had to say,"
He began to form a simple hand seal.
Immediately, a massive, suffocating surge of chakra erupted within him.
This instilled in Shi Li an unprecedented fear of death!
"I'll reward you with a... Fire Release technique!"
Naruto took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and a blazing light gathered in his mouth!
"Fire Escape·The Great Fire Extinguishes!!"
boom----------!!!!
It was no longer an ordinary flame, but a towering wave of fire that could burn mountains and boil seas!
The area is so large that it covers almost the entire front half of the abandoned dock!
The intense heat caused the air to distort violently, and the seawater was instantly evaporated, producing a piercing hissing sound!
The flames were an intense, almost white color!
It seems to be able to purify all the filth in the world!
Shi Li tried to use water escape techniques to defend himself in a panic.
However, the water wall he condensed from his meager chakra melted and evaporated like ice and snow the moment it came into contact with the destructive wave of fire!
"Do not--!!!"
He let out a final howl filled with despair and resentment, and his figure was instantly engulfed by the pure and violent flames!
The dazzling flames lasted for several seconds before slowly dissipating.
The spot where Shi Li had been standing, along with the vast abandoned docks and shipwrecks behind him, had all vanished.
All that remained was a shocking scene of ground viscous from the intense heat and wisps of smoke still rising.
Shi Li, along with all his ambitions and bizarre ninjutsu, was completely reduced to ashes and erased from this world.
Silence descended once more.
The only sounds were the waves crashing against the rocks again and the soft crackling of the fire cooling down.
Naruto slowly lowered his hand seals, as if he had only done something insignificant.
He turned around, looked at the group of people behind him who were completely stunned, and gave them his usual bright smile:
"Alright, the troublesome guy's taken care of. Can we... continue on our way?"
Chapter 291 A Dramatic End
A deathly silence enveloped the dilapidated, abandoned port, with only the tireless waves crashing against the rocks, creating a hollow echo.
All eyes were focused on the blond figure standing on the edge of the ruins, effortlessly defeating all the powerful enemies.
Shock, disbelief, ecstasy, and the bewilderment of surviving a catastrophe.
A mix of emotions clung to everyone's faces.
After a brief silence, an emotional outburst erupted!
"Naruto-sensei!!!"
Konohamaru, Moegi, and Udon cried out almost simultaneously.
Like three frightened little beasts that have finally found someone to rely on, they rushed towards Naruto without hesitation.
She suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly!
"Waaaaah... Naruto-nii-san! You scared us to death! We thought... we thought you'd never turn back!"
Konohamaru buried his tear-stained and dusty face in Naruto's warm embrace, his voice choked with emotion.
Her body was still trembling with fear, and she clung tightly to Naruto's clothes, afraid that if she let go, he would turn into a cold stone again.
"Naruto-sensei... This is great... This is really great..."
Meng Huang also cried her eyes out; she had previously cut her arm with the silk threads of the Golden Love Flower.
At this moment, blood mixed with tears stained a small patch of Naruto's clothes red.
But she didn't care at all; she just hugged him tightly, feeling the peace of having regained what she had lost.
"Waaaaaah... Naruto-sensei... Waaaaaah..."
Udon cried so hard that she lost all composure, her face covered in snot and tears.
He had just thought he was going to die, and now he was completely emotionally broken down, crying so hard he could barely breathe.
The three children seemed to be carrying all the fear, grievances, pressure, and despair they had experienced along the way.
They released it all through tears and hugs.
Naruto was held tightly by the three little ones, feeling their trembling bodies and hot tears, his heart filled with guilt and tenderness.
He suppressed the coldness and murderous intent he displayed when facing enemies, and a gentle and caring smile appeared on his face, like that of a kind older brother next door.
He gently embraced them, soothing them with the softest voice he could muster:
"Okay, okay, it's alright, it's alright. I'm perfectly fine here, aren't I?"
He gently patted Konohamaru's back, ruffled Moe-yellow hair, and clumsily wiped the snot and tears from Udon's face with his sleeve.
"I'm sorry for making you worry and suffer."
"You guys did a fantastic job! Really! Much better than I was back then!"
He praised them lavishly, trying to dispel the gloom in their hearts: "Look at you guys, you not only protected the client, but you also joined forces to take down that big guy!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the gold embedded in the mountain wall: "That's amazing! When we get back, we'll tell Iruka-sensei and Tsunade-sama, they'll be so happy!"
With Naruto's gentle yet firm reassurance, the three children gradually calmed down.
