Boom!
The massive collision between two people caused such a great explosion that the air pressure swept everyone far away from them.
Even though most of them were already outside the battleground.
The constructs around them were slowly breaking apart and it seemed like nothing could stop it anymore.
"No, if this goes on, the entire arena will be destroyed." Kakashi shouted in shock as he shield Sakura and others.
The other Sensei did the same. Anbu and other ninjas started protecting the civilians and taking them out of the Arena.
"We have to stop them."
"Lord Hokage, we must do something."
Those Anbu near Third Hokage immediately turned toward Hokage, asking for permission to intercept the battle.
Hiruzen simply stared at two colliding figures and with a momentary loss of sadness in his eyes, he shook his head.
"Even if we want to, are you sure you can bear the anger of those two once they stop?"
Those Anbu didn't understand.
Once Hokage gives them the order, they will follow it without any hindrance. That's why they were so confident in stopping this battle.
But, unlike them, Hokage could see the crazy excitement in Naruto and Menma for this battle.
If they truly disturbed the battle, they might simply take out their power on their fellow Ninjas.
"It seems Lord Hokage has quite a lot of peculiar ninjas."
Orochimaru also heard his words and immediately understood the situation. Unlike Anbu, he was using his head correctly.
But, at the same time, he was extremely glad.
'It seems like I need to start the plan the moment this battle ends. Thankfully, I chose this time to attack Konoha otherwise with these kinds of Genin, my plan could've failed miserably.'
Although he had great confidence in himself, he wasn't sure if he could fight both of them at once.
Even using his most powerful trump card, he won't be able to fight these two and Hiruzen at the same time.
Since his goal was to kill Hiruzen at all costs, he didn't want to fight these two.
Naruto might be unaware of the future events but Menma isn't. Even so, he decided to go all out because of two reasons.
First, this might simply be the last battle between them.
Second, he didn't want to save Hiruzen.
Right now, both would heavily exhaust each other so it will be a great time to take some rest.
"Kakashi Sensei, are we just standing there? If this battle goes out of hand, they might get seriously injured?"
Sakura saw Naruto in his Jin Cloak and her worries immediately spread out.
As a good medical ninja, she could see through the power of Nine Tails' Chakra. While it seems like it was protecting Naruto, it was at the same time hurting him as well.
So, if this goes on, it will definitely affect Naruto's lifespan.
"Do not worry, little girl!"
Might Guy speak from behind as Sakura turned around and looked at him in confusion.
Might Guy let out a big grin and said.
"Those two over there believe in each other. Isn't that right, My Eternal Rival?"
Hearing his words, Kakashi slowly let out a smile and nodded his head.
"Even though you only knew Taijutsu, I always fought you with all my strength. The same goes for you. Even though I am not that good at Taijutsu, you never held back."
"Trust is important not just between companions but also rivals. Naruto and Menma trust each other. They know that they have their own powerful moves but they also believe that their rival can bring out powerful moves that can match theirs."
"So Sakura, there is no need to worry about them. Just keep yourself safe and watch this battle. Because you might never get to see this battle ever again."
Hearing his words, Sakura calmed down a little.
On the other hand, Sasuke's expression was distorted. For some reason, he has always thought of Naruto as his rival.
But when Naruto told him the truth, he didn't believe it.
How could anyone change their rivals without even defeating him?
He didn't admit that he was weaker than Naruto. He would never admit that. Especially with the curse mark, his confidence has grown even more.
But, at the same time, there was a huge difference in strength between them.
He could see that the current Naruto has the strength to defeat him even when he uses Curse Marks.
That's why he was angry for not being strong.
"These two! Are they really Genins?"
Other Sensei couldn't help but release cold sweat from their foreheads as they watched the battle.
Naruto and Menma collided their fist and each collision would create a ripple of massive shockwaves that would destroy everything around them.
Naruto with Jin Cloak around him was massively stronger in defense and offense. So, he was using his pure Taijutsu against Menma.
At the same time, Menma had used the red lightning to boost his physical attributes to a superhuman level. At the same time, he had also accessed a massive Chakra boost by simply permanently opening his inner gates.
This boost gave him enough power to go one on one against Naruto in pure Taijutsu.
One was the demon fox who could use the power of the demon fox.
One was the civilian who could only use his exponential talent in Ninjutsu.
Their collision sparked a lot of conversation between other Ninjas.
Some were afraid of Naruto going out of control while some were jealous of Menma's strength.
But, no matter what, none of them could reach them.
Because Naruto and Menma were giving their best against each other.
Naruto threw a fist and Menma blocked it with his palm. But, Naruto didn't stop. He threw another fist with his left hand that Menma simply directed away.
The massive impact from the fist hits the ground and creates a crater.
Menma raises his knee and smacks Naruto on his stomach. Naruto uses his knee to block Menma's knee.
It was a simple collision of knees but the shockwave generated from this collision was enough to send a Genin flying.
"Naruto, if this is all you can do then I am winning this battle."
Menma withdrew a few steps and the red lightning flowed into his arm. He slowly pulled his hand while looking at Naruto with a deep gaze.
The red lightning following his hand turned into a small snake that coiled around his arm. He was supercharging his attack.
But, at the same time, Naruto was also ready to increase his power. He took a deep breath and shouted.
"Hinata!"
When he said that name from the middle of the battleground, everyone was confused. Even Menma who was in front of him didn't understand why he called out that name.
Only Hinata knew that it was the moment for that.
She took a deep breath and walked in front of her Sensei.
"Wait, Hinata, where are you going?" Kurenai tried to stop her but Hinata simply pushed her hand and said.
"Don't worry, Sensei! I won't go there."
She said as she walked a few more steps and stopped.
She raised her right hand and the veins around her eyes started contracting.
[Byakugan- Suppression]
At this moment, she released her Byakugan powers to their full extent. The immense shockwave generated out of her Byakugan was directed at Naruto.
But, it was exactly at Naruto instead it was released against Nine Tails' chakra.
"Argh!"
Some of the Hyuga clan members who were near Hinata started screaming in pain. Their heads started hurting massively. Their screams landed on Hinata's ears but she didn't stop.
Right now, Naruto needed her power more than anyone else. She wanted to help Naruto more than anything else. Even if she was kind-hearted, she cared about Naruto more than others.
Ignoring their pain, she just released her Byakugan suppression on Nine Tails' Chakra.
"W-w-what is going on?"
Everyone started panicking when those Hyuga members were screaming. Many of them were from the main family so they were sure that wasn't the work of Cursed Seal.
"Hey, Hinata!"
One of the elders who was barely able to stop the pain with his Chakra tried to go near Hinata and stop her.
"Hinata, I order you to stop!"
He gritted his teeth and shouted at her. He was even ready to take any action against her.
But, the next moment, Hinata simply sensed his emotion and turned her eyes to him.
That elder was suddenly frozen. The deep gaze from her white eyes froze his soul for a moment.
Thud!
He simply fell to his knees and lost consciousness. The shock that he received on his brain was too much for his brain to handle.
"Ww-w-w-what did she do? What happened?"
Other Ninjas started panicking as well. They didn't know what Hinata just did. She only glanced at him and the next moment, he fell down.
She turned around and stared at Naruto.
At this moment, the Nine-Tails Chakra around Naruto was moving. Yes, it wasn't like before. It was moving from his entire body to his hand, especially Chakra which formed three tails behind him.
"Why is this? Why can she suppress my Chakra?"
Nine Tails' roared inside Naruto in deep fear and anger.
Because of Hinata's Byakugan, Naruto could not just use his Chakra but also use it however he wants.
