25: Chapter 25 The Vajra Lockdown! A flurry of activityWith his right fist fully charged, it tore through the air like a cannonball, accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound, instantly covering a distance of more than ten meters, and smashed hard into Ebisu's face, who was still "elegantly" pacing!
"What?"
Ebisu's pupils suddenly contracted!
Although he had been on guard, he never expected that this genin brat's attack would be so swift and.his arm could extend so far?
The force of the punch stung his cheek!
"Substitution Technique!"
Bang!
Smoke explodes!
Naruto's powerful punch instantly blasted an innocent piece of substitute wood into countless wood chips and fragments!
The real Ebisu appeared a dozen meters away, his heart still pounding, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
He watched as Naruto slowly retracted his incredibly long arm, and the pile of horrific wood chips on the ground, and a storm raged within him:
"What.what kind of martial arts technique is this?The power is terrifying!If that hit me squarely.several bones would be broken!"
He subconsciously touched his ribs.But even if you lose, you can't lose face; not losing is winning!
"Hmph," Ebisu suppressed his shock, adjusted his glasses, and tried his best to maintain the "demeanor" of a special Jonin, speaking in a slightly mocking tone:
"See that, kid?Everything you did was within my expectations!That's the difference in real-world experience!"
"Hmph!So verbose!"
Naruto withdrew his fist, then slammed his fists together with a dull thud, his face full of disdain."That punch was just a warm-up, a way to greet you!Now."
His eyes sharpened, and his aura suddenly surged!
He turned to Konohamaru, who was watching intently from the sidelines, and shouted, "Konohamaru!Watch closely!This is the result of my hard work today!It's also the first hurdle you must overcome if you want to become Hokage in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto struck that pose that Konohamaru knew all too well—
He firmly planted his feet in a horse stance, his muscles tensed, and his face turned bright red, as if he were gathering some primordial power!
Konohamaru almost reflexively covered his nose and mouth with both hands!
His little face scrunched up, his eyes filled with fear of "Resident Evil"!
"Not again?Boss!Go easy on him!"
However, this time—
"Diamond Lockdown!"
With Naruto's earth-shattering roar, a sudden change occurred!
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
More than a dozen dazzling golden chains, like giant golden pythons with life, suddenly burst forth from behind Naruto!
They exuded an ancient and powerful aura, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and shot towards Ebisu, who was more than ten meters away, as fast as lightning!
The chains sliced through the air, leaving trails of golden afterimages—a truly spectacular sight!
"Wow--!"
Konohamaru instantly lowered his hand from his nose, his mouth gaping wide enough to fit an egg, his eyes widening and gleaming with unprecedented light, "So.so cool!"
I want to learn this!
Boss!I want to learn this!
The fear I felt earlier was instantly replaced by this incredibly cool move!
On the other side, Ebisu was truly drenched in sweat!
'What.what the hell is this?'
He roared inwardly!
As a ninja born after the annihilation of the Uzumaki clan, he only vaguely saw scattered records about "Uzumaki Secret Technique: Adamantine Sealing Barrier" in some extremely ancient and blurry documents.He knew that it was related to sealing tailed beasts, but he didn't know its specific form and power.
I know nothing!
The only person to master this technique, Lady Kushina Uzumaki, has never publicly used it within the village.
At this moment, looking at the dozen or so golden chains that exuded a menacing aura and ominous presence, Ebisu felt his scalp tingle!
Just from the name, you can tell that this "Diamond Lockdown" is not a gentle move!
'This is bad.this is very bad!'
Ebisu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, but his years of experience as an "elite teacher" forced him to calmly analyze the situation."However.such a powerful move must be extremely taxing on chakra!This kid is just a kid, he has absolutely no practical experience!"
If he had continued to use those strange and rapid physical techniques to entangle me, he might have actually managed to catch me off guard.but now?
Hmph!He won't last long!
As long as I dodge it and wait for his chakra to run out, the advantage will still be with me!
Thinking of this, Ebisu forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, adjusted his glasses again, and said stubbornly, "Hmph!Kid, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve!"
It seems you really think a Special Jonin is made of clay unless you show some real skills?
"Fine, today I'll reluctantly 'guide' you through the essence of practical combat—endurance and chakra management!"
Having said that, Ebisu moved swiftly!
He displayed a solid foundation far exceeding that of an ordinary Chunin, his footwork agile and unpredictable, dashing left and right across the abandoned training ground like a butterfly flitting among flowers, trying to evade the relentless golden chains!
However, the speed and flexibility of the chain far exceeded Ebisu's expectations!
They seem to have eyes, cleverly wrapping around, piercing, and blocking from all angles!
Ebisu felt like a flying insect caught in a spider web, his space shrinking smaller and smaller as the dozen or so golden pythons squeezed him!
What alarmed him even more was that the pursuit of the chains seemed endless, and that brat Naruto's aura showed no signs of weakening at all!
'How is that possible?Is his chakra limitless?'
Ebisu's alarm bells rang loudly as he scrambled past another chain that grazed his shoulder, sending pebbles flying everywhere under his feet.
This can't go on any longer!
To be forced to this extent by a mere genin in front of Konohamaru's grandson is an utter disgrace!
'We must finish this quickly!'
A ruthless glint flashed in Ebisu's eyes.'I'll risk it!He should be able to dodge.'
Fire Release: Great Fireball"The art!"
Taking advantage of a brief moment when he dodged, Ebisu quickly formed hand seals, his chest bulged high, and he suddenly unleashed a massive fireball that was incredibly hot and nearly two meters in diameter!
The fireball, carrying a wave of heat, hurtled straight toward Naruto in the center of the arena!
He anticipated that Naruto would inevitably dodge or defend against such an area-of-effect attack, thus revealing an opening!
While unleashing the fireball, Ebisu had already secretly completed the hand seals for his next technique!
"Clone Technique!"
An identical "Ebisu" remains in place, creating the illusion of continued pressure.
His true form instantly vanished underground: "Earth Escape Technique - Subterranean Navigation!"
He planned to use Earth Release to get close to Naruto from behind, and while Naruto was busy dealing with fireballs and clones, he would deliver a thunderous blow and quickly end this battle that had made him lose face!
As the massive fireball hurtled towards him, a hint of disdain flashed in Naruto's eyes.
"Hmph, a mere trick!"
