"You said that Susanoo is essentially a materialized form of chakra, right?" Naruto's eyes sparkled.
"Hmm." Sasuke nodded slightly.
"But my Wood Release: Wood Release is a materialized ninjutsu!" Naruto said excitedly.
"So what?" Sasuke looked at Naruto, puzzled.
"Use your Susanoo to cover my wooden doll, you can do that, right?" Naruto offered a good idea.
Sasuke's eyes lit up. He hadn't thought of that before, but he figured it was something he could do.
"Shall we give it a try?" Sasuke also showed an expectant expression.
“Okay!” Naruto nodded immediately.
"Wood Release: Wood Golem Technique!" Naruto clapped his hands together, the ground shook, and a giant wooden golem rose from the ground.
Naruto and Sasuke stood on the wooden doll's head.
Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan.
"Susanoh!"
With Sasuke's low shout, purple chakra surged out from his body and began to extend and condense outward according to Sasuke's strong will, precisely wrapping around every inch of the wooden structure of the giant wooden figure under Naruto's feet.
The purple chakra flowed, covered, and solidified along the wooden dummy's thick arms, legs, and torso, like a living fluid or armor components being forged.
The sturdy wooden frame became the best inner lining for Susanoo.
Amidst breathtaking chakra fluctuations, a ferocious yet incredibly majestic Susanoo armor gradually took shape, fitting snugly against the surface of the wooden figure.
A deep purple armor made of chakra covered the vital points of the wooden doll's entire body.
The wooden figure's head was sculpted into a Susanoo helmet with horns, and its eyes gleamed with a cold light.
Chapter 118 Mighty Armor: Susanoo, Training Completed
The thick wooden arms were covered with angular purple shoulder and forearm armor.
The enormous wooden hand was encased in thickened Susanoo armor, with sharp claws formed from chakra gathered at the knuckles.
The wooden doll's torso was covered with thick breastplates and backplates, and chakra energy flowed like magma at the joints.
Sharp, narrow energy blades, in the form of the Kusanagi sword unique to Susanoo, coalesced on the outside of the wooden doll's massive hands, radiating a terrifying sharpness.
Above and behind Susagi's left shoulder, the giant Ame no Makako Bow was also formed, its massive body exuding a destructive and oppressive aura.
"Wow!!" Standing atop the wooden golem, encased within Susanoo, Naruto watched as the ultimate giant, a fusion of Wood Release and Sharingan power, rose from the ground.
Feeling the immense power and unbreakable defense emanating from beneath his feet, far exceeding that of a lone wooden figure, he couldn't help but let out an excited roar.
"That's amazing!! Sasuke!"
Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, maintaining the unprecedentedly large Susanoo, and a hint of excitement crept onto his lips.
He clearly felt that using the method of covering the wooden figure to activate Susanoo consumed far less ocular power and sage chakra than directly unfolding the complete human form of Susanoo!
The reason is simple: the art of the wooden puppet provides an extremely robust physical structure, sharing most of the pressure that makes up the body.
This means that Sasuke's eye power and Sage Chakra no longer need to consume huge amounts of energy to construct a complete chakra skeleton and body out of thin air.
"I would like to call this fusion ninjutsu 'Armored Susanoo'!" Naruto gave their fusion ninjutsu a name.
Susagito, clad in imposing armor, drew his Kusanagi sword and with a casual slash, unleashed a long, narrow, crescent-shaped blade of deep purple energy that instantly surged forth.
This sword light was formed by the fusion of highly condensed Sage Chakra and Mangekyou Sharingan power.
It tore through the air, emitting a deep yet terrifying whistling sound that pierced the eardrums, as if space itself was groaning under the sword's edge.
Wherever the blade passed, even the light itself was distorted and swallowed by the immense energy, leaving behind a deep vacuum trail.
Ahead, a towering, imposing mountain peak stood majestically, reaching into the clouds.
To ordinary people, it is the great power of nature, a symbol of indestructibility.
However, the instant the purplish-black sword light touched the mountain!
Or perhaps all sound was drowned out by an even greater destructive energy.
All that could be seen was the hard rock mountain, where the material at the point of contact was instantly broken down into tiny, dust-like particles by the violent energy!
The destruction did not spread from a single point of collapse, but rather along the vast plane through which the sword light swept. The mountain, like sand thrown into a furnace, suddenly collapsed and crumbled to both sides without any hesitation.
Boom, boom, boom! ! ! !
Only then did the deafening roar erupt violently!
It was like billions of thunderbolts exploding simultaneously in a confined space!
Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, as if a thousand tons of explosives had been detonated, instantly obscuring half the sky.
The rubble wasn't ejected directly, but rather compressed by the immense energy impact, instantly turning into dust. This dust, mixed with the turbulent airflow, formed a violent shockwave that spread rapidly outwards in a fan shape.
A giant curtain of thick smoke and dust slowly descended, gradually revealing the obscured scenery. The once majestic mountain had vanished!
All that remained was a huge, smooth, mirror-like fan-shaped cut surface, hundreds of meters deep, and a thick plain of gravel and powder, tens of meters thick, that radiated outwards into the distance!
Above the wooden dummy's head, Naruto's mouth gaped open, his golden pupils reflecting the scene of the world changing color before him. The earth-shattering destructive power far exceeded the effect of any of his previous wooden dummy techniques.
He sensed the mountain being instantly obliterated rather than destroyed, which made the hairs on his body stand on end, leaving him with only one feeling: invincible!
This power, a fusion of the Wood Golem's and Susanoo's, caused Naruto to almost uncontrollably cry out in shock: "Hey, hey, hey!! Sasuke!! This, this, this power is too outrageous! It's much stronger than we expected!!"
Sasuke stood beside Naruto, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan still spinning rapidly, staring intently at the flattened area.
The sheer destructive power of the disappearing mountain even shook him to his core.
However, what is even more crucial is the body's response when driving such immense power.
That seemingly casual slash did consume some Sage Chakra, but it was much less than using a Perfect Susanoo of the same size on its own!
Naruto's wooden puppet, as a powerful physical framework, perfectly supports and transmits the power of Susanoo, greatly reducing the energy burden of its construction and maintenance.
He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, his voice slightly hoarse with excitement, a tone he himself was unaware of: "The armored Susanoo, the wooden body provides the vessel, and Susanoo gives it the edge to destroy everything. This mountain is just the dust of the experiment."
He slowly shifted his gaze to the wider horizon in the distance, a burning flame of eager anticipation in his eyes. "This is just the first step we've taken. In the future, we will be even stronger!"
Hinata, who was watching from afar, and the toads of Mount Myōboku fell into complete silence.
Hinata's Byakugan clearly saw the internal structure of the mountain, and the entire process of it breaking apart like a bubble under the purple light. Even though she had developed the Divine Void Strike and witnessed its power, she was still amazed.
However, the pure annihilation power displayed by this ultimate creation that combined two immortal techniques still sent chills down her spine.
A wooden dummy or Susanoo alone cannot withstand the attack of the Divine Void Strike, but what about the combination of the two?
Perhaps even the One-Punch God's Sky Strike cannot break through it!
Hmm, that'll take two punches!
Hinata believed that she could easily defeat even this Susagi-man!
Even though they were wrapped in gauze and unable to move, Gamabunta, Gamahiro, and Gamaken's huge eyes were fixed on the area where smoke and dust filled the air and the mountains disappeared.
The words of Master Shima still seemed to echo in my ears: even the tailed beasts couldn't withstand Hinata's fierce attack.
Looking at the flattened landscape before them, the three toads felt a chill run down their spines.
Master Shima forced out a dry, low growl from his throat: "What kind of monsters are these brats?!"
Hinata's Divine Sky Strike can completely shatter a mountain with absolute power. In her armor, Susanoo, she wipes out a mountain with a single sword strike!
The power of this ninjutsu has shattered Shima's understanding of ninjutsu!
Don't young people these days intend to give these old folks a way to survive?
After summarizing the results of their training at Mount Myōboku, Naruto and his companions bid farewell to Fukasaku and Shima.
It's time to conclude my pilgrimage at Mount Myoboku.
They have already mastered the magic arts; the rest of the journey is up to them to continue.
Chapter 1: The Return, Akatsuki Takes Action.
Ichiraku Ramen House.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Uh huh!!!"
"Tsk tsk tsk!!!"
The three little gluttons, who looked like they hadn't eaten in hundreds of years, were engrossed in eating!
The middle-aged man was sweating profusely as he cooked ramen, but he still couldn't keep up with the three of them eating.
"Uncle Teuchi, three more bowls!" Naruto shouted at Teuchi, who was still eating his ramen.
"I know, I know, it's cooking, it's cooking!" the hand-tying uncle replied.
Seeing Naruto and the other two wolfing down their food, Ayame couldn't help but ask curiously, "Naruto, why are you guys so hungry?"
Naruto slurped a mouthful of ramen into his mouth without even chewing it, and swallowed it whole.
Only then did she have time to respond to Changpu's question: "It's really because there's nothing good to eat in our cultivation place. Sister Changpu, you have no idea what we eat the most every day!"
Naruto, Hinata, and Sasuke's expressions were not good when they recalled the events.
"What is it?" Changpu asked, even more curious.
"Insects!" Naruto's expression darkened further.
"Insects?" Changpu exclaimed in surprise, her voice trembling. "Are they the kind of insects I'm thinking of?"
“Don’t doubt it, that’s right.” Naruto nodded, confirming their thoughts.
"Then why are you still eating?" Changpu couldn't help but ask.
"Well, those insects do provide enough energy, so I have to eat them to save time for training." Naruto sighed and buried his head in his ramen.
The insects of Mount Myoboku, living in a naturally energy-rich environment, have dozens of times more protein than regular beef!
you deserve to have!
If insects were made into other types of food, they would definitely be very popular, since they are high in energy and suitable for ninjas who specialize in taijutsu.
However, if it's in its original, unprocessed state, it's disgusting.
Even though it does contain a lot of energy.
As Naruto and his two companions grow stronger, their bodies require more energy.
The insects of Mount Myoboku don't need to be eaten much to meet their nutritional needs, but nowadays, they won't feel full without eating at least a dozen bowls of ramen.
After eating twenty bowls of ramen, Naruto let out a long sigh of relief, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and finally adjusted his taste buds back to human mode.
Sasuke was already drinking tea, while Hinata was still quietly eating ramen.
"Oh, right, there's something I forgot to tell you. We're no longer members of Team 7," Naruto said, pouring himself a cup of tea.
"So what are our identities now?" Sasuke asked, while Hinata listened while eating.
"The Shadow Guards are directly under Tsunade's command. Their main job is to protect her safety, and they have a lot more freedom," Naruto replied after taking a sip of tea.
Sasuke nodded slightly. It didn't make much difference to him what role he played, since he didn't rely on missions to make a living.
The inheritance from the Uchiha clan and the money from renting out the houses are enough for him to live a wealthy life for the rest of his life.
Of course, the same applies to Hinata and Naruto.
Hinata and Sasuke are similar. Naruto has his parents' inheritance and usually spends Sasuke's money, so he doesn't have many expenses.
After all, my brother's money is my money.
"What about Kakashi?" Sasuke asked.
"I guess my mother-in-law assigned me some other tasks," Naruto said, scratching his head.
A dark figure quickly appeared behind the three of them, and an ANBU member knelt on one knee and said, "Lord Naruto, Lord Sasuke, Lord Hinata, the Hokage wants to see you."
"I understand. Once Hinata has eaten, we'll go to the Hokage's office," Naruto said, nodding slightly.
"Yes, sir!" the ANBU member replied respectfully, stood up, took a few steps back, and jumped away.
“ε=(?ο｀*))) Huh? It seems Grandma already knows we're back.” Naruto propped his head up, not in a hurry at all.
