Naruto: The Abstract Strategist of the Akatsuki

Chapter 299 Kimimaro's Last Dance

Naruto and Kurama panicked at the same time, which can be considered as being of one mind.

In that instant, a large amount of tailed beast chakra surged out, completely covering Naruto with the crimson tailed beast chakra.

This time, the coverage is no longer semi-transparent, but completely covered.

Naruto's entire body seemed to be covered by a layer of scarlet mosaic, and six tails emerged from behind him.

Yes, that's right.

It's the classic Six-Tails mode from the original manga, where Naruto is driven to rage by Orochimaru's mention of Sasuke, causing him to unleash his six tails.

(Orochimaru: You're already crying.)

The difference is that Naruto in his current Six-Tails form is maintaining his rational state.

Even without Kurama's active interference, the Nine-Tails' chakra now carries inherent negative emotions.

However, as long as they reconcile with Kurama, Kurama can even actively suppress some of the interference of negative emotions.

With his own extensive practice, Naruto is fully capable of achieving a completely rational and calm Tailed Beast Transformation.

For example, Killer Bee, in addition to being a complete tailed beast, also has this half-tailed beast form with a scarlet chakra cloak.

puff.

A bone piercing through ten fingers struck Naruto's weak point in his half-tailed beast form.

Fortunately, the defensive power in the half-tailed beast form is extremely terrifying.

Naruto, enveloped in the tailed beast's cloak, only felt a slight touch.

"Thank goodness, we're saved."

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief.

But how could Kimimaro give up so easily?

He didn't know how deep the bond between Naruto and Sasuke was, but no one could sever his bond with Lord Orochimaru!

"Ten Fingers Piercing Bullets - Infinite Thousand Years of Death!!!!"

Kimimaro targeted Naruto's weakness, tearing off all ten of his fingernails and sending bones flying out like a machine gun.

One of the characteristics of the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse) is that their bones can regenerate rapidly, which allows them to be used as a medium for weapons and ninjutsu.

Kimimaro has now taken bone regeneration to its extreme.

In its Six-Tails form, the Tailed Beast Cloak is already capable of generating hard bones for both attack and defense.

Killer Bee, for example, can materialize the bones in his elbows while in his half-tailed beast form, and deliver a merciless elbow strike to his enemies.

Unfortunately, neither humans nor tailed beasts can have bones to defend themselves in this body position.

Kimimaro's bones continued to relentlessly assault the tailed beast cloak's defenses.

The immense force propelled Naruto into the air.

Naruto initially only had a slight feeling, but the feeling grew stronger and stronger until he finally showed a look of terror. He struggled to wave his scarlet tailed beast arm, trying to grab Kimimaro and stop his further attack.

[Ten Fingers Piercing Bullets - Infinite Thousand Years of Death] did not cause any harm to Naruto, not even pain.

But more than the pain, another feeling that terrified Naruto began to spread.

Like bullets piercing through ten fingers in bursts like a machine gun, like a high-frequency blender... or some other mechanical device.

Well, how should I put it?

Sometimes, maintaining a rational Tailed Beast transformation isn't necessarily a good thing.

If Naruto were in a state of irrationality at this moment, he would have already gone berserk and launched various attacks.

Unfortunately, Naruto and Kurama have already reconciled, and he can now completely control the tailed beast chakra that Kurama gives him.

The problem is that Naruto doesn't know how to use it at all.

Naruto has just experienced his most intense battle yet, which was when he stabbed Gaara with a Thousand Years of Death explosive tag.

In addition, even the most classic battle with Zabuza and Haku was interrupted by Bai Mo.

Experimental experience is too scarce.

In this situation, Naruto was constantly attacked by bullets piercing through his fingers, and suddenly fell into confusion.

"How could this happen? How could this be possible?"

Naruto muttered to himself.

—Naruto has activated Sage Mode again!

As for why it suddenly restarted, we'll have to ask Kimimaro's attack direction.

Naruto realized for the first time that he didn't necessarily have to launch a direct attack to achieve his goal.

This reminded Naruto that in that specialty store, besides containment-type ninja tools, there were also refillable ninja tools.

Pity.

If he had discovered this earlier, he would definitely have bought an extra ninja tool, and then used Shadow Clone Jutsu to speed things up even further.

After regaining his senses, Naruto decided to launch a counterattack.

Naruto was unfamiliar with the half-tailed beast form, but he was very familiar with Sage Mode.

Now that Naruto is in half-tailed beast form and Sage Mode, even if Kimimaro uses his toes to pierce through Naruto's defenses with his ten fingers, he still won't be able to break through Naruto's defenses.

Kimimaro has a very sharp combat instinct.

Cursed seals are also a use of natural energy, and Kimimaro sensed it the moment Naruto entered Sage Mode.

Kimimaro was overcome with grief.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was able to calm down again and enter Sage Mode at this time.

It seems he had indeed underestimated the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The other party not only possesses an extraordinary inner strength, but also the ability to think calmly even when seemingly at a disadvantage.

Why do we say it seems like a disadvantage?

Kimimaro knew from the beginning that he couldn't win a head-on confrontation with his opponent.

All he could do was rely on his combat instincts to strike first.

That's how it was just now.

It's the same now!

"The Dance of the Clematis Flowers!"

Kimimaro took a step back, stopped his finger-piercing technique, and switched to another move.

The most powerful early fern dance is meaningless.

Large-scale attacks only waste chakra.

What he needs is to focus on one thing and reach the pinnacle.

The Clematis Dance is divided into two types. One type is "Thread," which involves drawing out the spine to use as a whip-like weapon to attack and bind enemies.

The other one is "flower".

Kimimaro's ninjutsu names are the same as those of many ninjas in Kumogakure, making it difficult to imagine what they are like just by hearing the names.

Various kinds of "dance".

Madara Uchiha was so enraged by what he heard that he wanted to lift the lid of his coffin and say, "Do you want to dance too?"

The "flower" in the Dance of the Clematis is actually a large amount of bone hyperplasia on an arm, forming a giant spiral drill that launches a fierce attack on the target.

This was Kimimaro's last dance.

With this move countered, he had no other ability to stop Naruto Uzumaki.

He must work hard in his cultivation to find a new breakthrough, otherwise this situation will continue.

Kimimaro launched this attack amidst self-blame and remorse.

The severed spine was flung towards Naruto in mid-air, firmly locking the half-tailed beast Naruto in place, while the spiral-shaped bone drill formed by the other hand launched a final, fierce attack on Naruto.

This kind of fierce attack is far more terrifying than the attack of piercing through ten fingers with bullets.

There's a saying in the online literature community: "Wearing X doesn't mean you'll rebel, but wearing X-patterned clothes means you'll be a power drill."

Naruto is pitiful; he didn't achieve the first half of the sentence, but he's already experienced the second half.

"Nine-Tails, this time it's no joke! What do we do? Help me!"

Naruto felt the small vibrations left by his ten fingers piercing the Tailed Beast Cloak turn into huge vibrations, and he even felt that the limit was about to be broken. The defense of the Tailed Beast Cloak was about to be broken, and he panicked.

Fortunately, having learned from past mistakes, I managed to avoid panicking and exiting Sage Mode this time.

How the hell am I supposed to know what to do?

Nine-Tails panicked and even forgot to refer to himself as "this old man".

It is about to become the first tailed beast to be attacked by a power drill.
