Red sand dust

After a low roar, dust flew into the air.

After the last blow, before the opponent could react, Daimaru jumped up quickly to avoid possible counterattacks, and then quickly disappeared into the air.

"Something is wrong. The intensity of the counterattack is too small. Could it be that..."

Sure enough, under the blood-covered Uzumaki Naruto, there was a thick black cushion, which was an elastic protection formed by countless parasites gathered together.

"Unfortunately, the original goal of severely injuring Uzumaki Naruto and temporarily eliminating a major threat has been difficult to achieve. 』

Shino Aburame has arrived, and this time his speed is not too slow. On the contrary, Inuzuka Kiba and Hinata Hinata, who were injured by the poison, are still lagging far behind.

"Another troublesome guy! 』

Daimaru is still somewhat successful in blocking the enemy and delaying time, but if there are too many people, it will be difficult to handle.

After all, Daimaru himself is just a mediocre genin. It is not very reliable to deal with so many enemies by himself, even if they are all new genin.

Not far away, Parker, the ninja dog who was injured by the aftermath of Daimaru's attack, struggled to stand up and sniffed in the direction of Daimaru and "Temari" with his sensitive nose.

"Be careful, that female ninja is real, but the other one is just a lifeless puppet..."

"Well, all illusions can't fool bad bugs..."

The silent "Temari" used Wind Release again to attack Uzumaki Naruto who had fallen to the ground. Aburame Shino, who was hiding in the darkness, suddenly appeared in front of her...

"Secret Technique·Insect Wall Technique!"

The parasite spun at high speed in front of Aburame Shino's outstretched hands, like a flowing shield, blocking the wind tornado.

"The power is much smaller than expected. Is it because of the injury?" 』

The Konoha insect user, who was a little confused, didn't have the energy to think too much for the moment, so he wrapped Uzumaki Naruto properly with insects, lifted him and moved him to a safe rear, and then guarded the area with Rock Lee, who had escaped from the chain trap, to prevent him from becoming invisible. Daimaru strikes again.

Haruno Sakura and Parker, who were slightly injured, hurried to Uzumaki Naruto and looked worriedly at the fainting blond boy.

Aburame Shino said:

"Naruto's life is not in danger for the time being, but he has lost too much blood. Sakura, stop the bleeding and give first aid immediately. If you are late, you will be in trouble!"

"I know, thank you, Shino, and Xiao Li!"

"You are welcome!"

Shino Aburame adjusted her sunglasses calmly.

Rock Lee looked around cautiously, always ready to launch an attack if there was any sign of trouble.

"Daimaru, can I call you that?"

"It doesn't matter, the name is just a code name..."

The ethereal voice responded to the thick-browed boy's question from an unknown source.

"I originally thought I could have another fair showdown with you, but unfortunately, the gap between what I imagined is a bit big! Do you really want to kill Naruto?"

"A group of Konoha ninjas raid the formation, and then let me have a fair fight with you?"

Daimaru chuckled and said,

"This is a war, not a good time to spar. Killing is the first priority. You have been pursuing them all the way. Didn't you see the killed Konoha ninja and Suna ninja?"

Rock Lee, who was only focused on pursuing, didn't see much. Aburame Shino, who had strong investigative skills, must have discovered many corpses of those killed in battle along the way.

"If I were defeated here, it's really hard to say whether I could survive! I don't want to place my hopes on the kindness of Konoha ninjas.

Reality does not allow us Sand Ninja to hold back. Since we have provoked a war, we have the consciousness of being killed. We have long been prepared..."

"What a pity!"

Rock Lee said with some disappointment,

"In this case, we will not be afraid of challenges..."

"Come on horseback!"

After working hard for more than ten years, Daimaru finally got the chance to compete with these lucky people favored by fate. Although the situation was a little worse, it was not too desperate.

At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki, who was surrounded in the middle, suddenly woke up.

"Sakura, what's wrong with me? My whole body hurts!"

"Naruto, great, you're finally awake! Don't move, I'm bandaging you, you're injured..."

"I remember I was going to support Sasuke, and I was intercepted by the Suna Ninja, and then..."

Uzumaki Naruto reluctantly sat up with the help of Haruno Sakura so that bandages could be applied to his chest and abdomen.

Seeing this, Daimaru couldn't help but admire Uzumaki Naruto's exaggerated physique.

"What an enviable talent! It’s like I worked so hard to bleed him and it’s like it never happened..."

Normally, it would be difficult for a ninja to wake up from such a serious injury without taking a day or two to recover. However, Uzumaki Naruto actually got better after just taking a nap.

This also proves Daimaru's guess. The recovery ability of tailed beast chakra is so amazing that pure physical damage is not very effective. As long as there is enough vitality support and a little overdraft, the impact of the injury can be quickly compensated.

No wonder people like Yame, Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuga Neji couldn't defeat Uzumaki Naruto quickly.

Now it was Daimaru's turn to feel this despair.

Daimaru, who was hiding in the dark, was silently experiencing the embarrassment of feeling a little weak all over his body after the explosive attack, as well as the pain of his palms and arms being counterattacked by some wind escape chakra.

If you want to completely eliminate Uzumaki Naruto's resistance, it would be more effective to directly attack something more fundamental. For example, the sealing technique directly limits and interferes with the chakra in the body; such as directly attacking the nine tails; or using illusion techniques to directly attack the spirit that cannot be protected by the immortal body.

Even so, Uzumaki Naruto's recovery ability at this time greatly exceeded expectations. Daimaru's brutal attack that could almost kill an adult ninja didn't seem to be as effective as expected.

While he was thinking, Daimaru suddenly saw the looming sealing pattern on the blond boy's abdomen through the gap between Haruno Sakura's bandages.

"What's going on? The seal suddenly became loose?" 』

If the amount of Kyuubi's chakra suddenly increases, it will naturally squeeze more vitality from the jinchuriki and consume more chakra, but the body's recovery ability will also be significantly enhanced.

As for why this happened, Daimaru remembered the heavy claw blow to his abdomen not long ago.

"Does my chakra's "unblocked" attribute really have an effect? 』

Of course Daimaru would not think that he could break the Bagua seal on Uzumaki Naruto with his own strength. At most, it would only temporarily interfere with the operation of the seal.

If Namikaze Minato's Bagua seal was so easy to deal with, it would be impossible to seal the Kyuubi.

However, the Kyuubi is so terrifying that even if Daimaru slightly weakens the strength of the seal, the chakra leaked is enough for Uzumaki Naruto to benefit from endlessly.
