"You are our backup, Sensei. If anything goes wrong, you need to stabilize the situation in an instant. Naruto, I am leaving the heavy task to you. Can you handle it?"
Shikamaru answered.
Naruto slowly turned his head and a large grin appeared on his face. He cracked his knuckles and said.
"Just leave it to me."
Naruto then turned around and clapped his hands together.
"Let's go, Kurama!"
Although it was just an instinct after that dream, Kurama felt a jolt of energy flowing through his body. It was a feeling that he hadn't felt for thousands of years if not ever.
Even when he was together with his father, he never got a chance to fight against others. He had to fight like a pet when he was enslaved by Madara's Genjutsu.
He hated that feeling and hoped he would never go through that. But, it happened again thirteen years ago and then he got sealed inside a brat.
He hated that. He hated being sealed once again.
But for a moment, for a few seconds, his hate almost died, revealing a grin on his face.
"Don't lose, brat"
Kurama released a massive amount of Chakra into his body. The red chakra burst out of his seal and flowed into his skin.
He didn't go into Version Two but instead conjured three tails at once.
Whoosh!
He stepped on the ground so hard that it left a crater. His body instantly reached near Han who was slowly gaining one more tail.
Han in his Version Two cloak slapped its tail against Naruto. But, Naruto quickly dodged it and swept his leg.
Bang!
"Han, keep fighting back! If you stop, your students will die at once." Naruto roared and then rushed toward Han once again, slamming a powerful punch in his face.
"Naruto, we need him to not fight back for a few seconds on instinct. For that, he must get tired. Do you think you can do it?"
Blocking the fierce wind with his forearms, Shikamaru screamed.
"Shika, Big Fire!" Naruto shouted.
Shikamaru paused for a moment but still rushed to the side. He quickly started going through hand signs and conjured a massive amount of Chakra into his mouth.
[Fire Release- Fire Bullet]
A fire bullet that was nearly the size of a chimney rushed toward Han. Naruto also started going through hand signs and released several blasts of wind from his mouth.
[Wind Release- Wind Bullet]
When these two got together, the flame suddenly expanded like crazy. It reached the size of a house and covered Han.
[Combination Style- Firestorm]
As soon as the Jutsu ended, Shikamaru reached next to Kurotsuchi and said.
"I only have enough Chakra to bind him for a few seconds. Do you have any Fire Release?"
Kurotsuchi nodded and said.
"But will it work? There must be some level of cooperation for combination techniques to work."
"Don't worry, he got that cover." Shikamaru said.
[Wind Release- Great Breakthrough]
As soon as the flame started to die down, he released a massive gust of wind, increasing the size of the flames.
"Naruto-kun, look out!" Hinata who was watching the battle instantly shouted.
Suddenly, Han rushed out of the fire in his Version Two cloak with three tails behind him. He instinctively attacked Naruto but a massive wall of earth appeared in front of him.
[Earth Release- Earth Wall]
[Earth Release- Moving Earth Core]
Akatsuchi instantly released two techniques one after another. The moment that wall was broken, the ground began to imprison Han and rise.
Naruto took out a Kunai and threw it at him. Immediately, he started weaving hand seals.
[Kunai Shadow Clone Technique]
Nearly hundreds of Kunai appeared in mid-air and rushed toward Han.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Because of the ground, Han couldn't move. So, many of the Kunai hit him but none of them managed to break the defense of Chakra Cloak.
"Shit! That must be one hell of a defense." Naruto shouted. He held two Kunai in his hands and started filling them with Wind Chakra.
At the same time, he created two clones and jumped. His clones began to create a propeller of wind on their palms.
He connected his feet to their palms and those two shot him toward Han.
[Wind Release- Gale Palm]
His body dashed toward Han in mid-air. He moved his Kunai and tried to slash Han. Although he didn't pierce deep, he cut through the Chaka Cloak.
Thud!
[Uzumaki Style- Naruto Stream]
Roar!
Han turned around and charged toward Naruto with his claws. Naruto used his forearms to block the attack but those claws were too sharp.
They managed to pierce his skin and throw Naruto several meters away.
"Naruto!"
Kurenai shouted unable to move. Seeing the berserk Jinchuriki brought the fear of Nine Tails inside her.
Shikamaru wanted to shout at her but when he saw her expression, he clicked his tongue and looked at Kurotsuchi.
"Help him contain your Sensei for a few more seconds."
Kurotsuchi didn't understand how they let someone as useless as Kurenai to be their Jonin but she wasn't in the mood to complain.
She instantly moved forward while Akatsuchi erected another Earth Wall in front of Naruto to block Han.
Bang!
It didn't last long. With a single strike, Han managed to break it but just when he was going forward, his body struggled to stop.
"He is still trying to take back control. Attack him with everything you've got."
[Multi-Shadow Clone Technique]
Poof! Poof! Poof! Poof!
Nearly a hundred shadow clones appeared at once. Real Naruto pulled Akatsuchi away who was panting a little.
He moved toward Kurotsuchi and said.
"After this, prepare yourself for a fire technique."
Those shadow clones didn't move instead started weaving hand seals.
[Wind Release- Great Breakthrough]
They burned all of their Chakra at once and released hundreds of wind gusts from all directions. It was so strong and massive that it managed to break the Version Two cloak, leaving him with red Chakra alone.
Naruto was already feeling quite empty but he still had one more attack to do.
[Fire Release- Burning Earth Technique]
Kurotsuchi threw massive chunks of fireballs toward Han from her mouth while Naruto released another powerful gust of wind.
[Wind Release- Great Breakthrough]
When wind touched those fireballs, it instantly increased its size. Although it didn't manage to increase its temperature, the size mattered more for now.
Boom!
All of those fireballs exploded on Han. Underneath their feet, they failed to notice a shadow moving toward Han. With no time to waste, Shikamaru shouted.
"Kurotsuchi, now!"
[Shadow Paralysis Technique]
As soon as the flames disappeared, Kurotsuchi released a black slime from her mouth. It moved toward Han and bound him like a statue.
[Lava Release- Ash Stone Seal Technique]
Thud!
As soon as she used this technique, she fell on her knees but it got the job done. The moment she used it, Han was no longer able to move.
Naruto stood next to her still covered in red chakra. Due to Kurama's Chakra, his attacks and Jutsu powers were increased but it was quickly consuming his Chakra as well.
He didn't hesitate to push red Chakra back into his seal.
"Haa! Haa! Haa!"
Naruto was panting hard. His body hadn't suffered any damage due to Kurama's Chakra but he was quite low on reserve.
Of course, for someone who created a hundred shadow clones and made them use Wind Release- Great Breakthrough at once, it was a blessing not to die.
"Why the hell did that happen?" Kurotsuchi turned her eyes to Naruto and angrily asked.
"Fear!" Naruto replied and started taking deep breaths.
"Are you kidding me? Why would Han Sensei be afraid of anything?" Kurotsuchi shouted.
"Let Naruto-kun rest before you ask anything." Hinata rushed next to Naruto and glared at Kurotsuchi.
"Hell no, you are telling us what happened right now." Ittan shouted while raising his Kunai.
"I also want to know what happened but right now, leave my students alone." Kurenai finally walked in front of Naruto and glared at Ittan.
"Now, you are speaking, scaredy cat." Ittan glared back.
But, suddenly, his vision got blank and he fell to the ground.
"What did you do?" Kurotsuchi grabbed him and glared at Kurenai.
"Just a small Genjutsu. Take some rest and we will take after your Sensei regains control."
Kurenai turned around and looked at her team. Both Naruto and Shikamaru were quite low on reserve.
Shikamaru was understandable but she never thought Naruto could be low on reserve.
Then again, Naruto did use more than a hundred Great Breakthrough Techniques and hundreds of Shadow Clones.
After putting Naruto next to Shikamaru, Hinata walked toward Kurenai and asked.
"Kurenai Sensei, what was that? That red Chakra felt so evil and completely opposite to Naruto's normal Chakra."
"Why do Jonin and Naruto possess similar chakra? What are you hiding from us? And, don't tell me it's bloodline because I know it's not."
Hinata's face was quite serious when she asked.
Kurenai heavily sighed and said.
"It's not something that I can say or I will be breaking the law. Since Naruto decided to reveal it, let him explain."
