Chapter 317: Auntie
The thick dust from the violent explosion had not yet fully dispersed, and the scorching airwaves were still raging.
Whether it was Konan in the air or the Six Paths of Pain on the ground, both had their senses firmly locked onto the center of the explosion, waiting for the result.
However, the first thing to erupt was not a counterattack from within the dust, but an attack like a bolt of blood-red lightning, carrying overwhelming fury and piercing Killing Intent, tearing through the sky and stabbing straight at Konan high above!
"You bastard—you’re dead!!!"
A female voice, containing volcano-like fury, exploded!
Along with the voice, a massive Susanoo longsword made of pure crimson Chakra, burning with the inextinguishable flames of Amaterasu and stretching over fifty meters in length, thrust straight toward Konan’s "Angel" form like a spear of judgment at a terrifying speed exceeding the speed of sound!
It was Uchiha Hikari!
When she saw Konan using a dense barrage of Exploding Tags to sneak attack Naruto, an uncontrollable rage instantly shattered her outward calm!
Without any hesitation, the wings of the Perfect Susanoo that Uchiha Hikari had instantly manifested flapped violently!
Those Chakra wings, burning with blood-colored flames, erupted with incredible propulsion, pushing the massive Susanoo body like a crimson comet, instantly crossing hundreds of meters to directly intervene in the main battlefield!
Simultaneously, the giant sword in the Susanoo’s hand, carrying the power to sever everything, had already thrust in front of Konan!
This strike was fast, ruthless, and precise! It was filled with Hikari’s anger toward Konan.
Facing this sudden attack, Konan’s pupils constricted slightly, but there was no panic on her face.
She seemed to have been mentally prepared for the forceful intervention of an "Uchiha," or perhaps her combat style was inherently extremely flexible.
Just as the Susanoo sword thrust forward,
Konan’s body, along with that pair of pure white wings, instantly "dispersed"!
Her body transformed into countless white, thin, sharp-edged sheets of paper, like dandelions scattered by a Wind, or a swarm of white butterflies with a mind of their own.
These paper sheets followed the violent airflow and wind pressure generated by the Susanoo’s giant sword thrust, drifting and dancing upward and outward with lightness and agility. In an almost artistic manner, they easily "merged" into the Wind, causing that heavy strike, powerful enough to cleave mountains, to hit nothing but empty air.
Dance of the Shikigami.
This was Konan’s unique Ninjutsu, which allowed her to transform any part of her body or even her entire self into paper, granting immunity to most physical attacks and providing extremely high mobility and shape-shifting capabilities.
The swarm of paper sheets quickly drifted with the airflow to a higher, safe airspace, completely escaping the effective attack range of the Susanoo’s longsword.
Then, like a flock of birds returning to their nest, these paper sheets rapidly converged and restructured toward a central point.
With a flash of light, Konan’s figure reappeared completely unscathed, still hovering high in the sky, her wings gently flapping. She looked down calmly at the massive crimson Susanoo below and the position where the potentially injured Naruto was being protected by it.
Her Angel form was entirely undamaged, as if the lethal blow from just now was merely a breeze brushing across a mirror.
However, just as Konan successfully evaded the Susanoo’s attack, Hikari frowned slightly because her strike missed, and the Six Paths of Pain’s attention was drawn to this suddenly intervening powerful enemy.
On the battlefield ground, another anomaly occurred!
On the ground, which was covered in dust and rubble from the previous battle and explosion, dozens of red origami cranes had appeared silently at some unknown moment.
These origami cranes seemed to possess life, their wings trembling slightly.
In the next instant, all the red origami cranes emitted a faint red light simultaneously and flew rapidly toward the same central point.
At the moment they touched and overlapped,
Naruto’s figure suddenly appeared out of thin air from the center where the pile of red origami cranes had converged!
He was completely unharmed, with not even a single crease or scorch mark on his clothes.
The concentrated explosion of Exploding Tags, which was enough to heavily wound or even kill an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse, had no effect on him at all.
This was one of the new abilities Naruto had acquired and mastered by using the eye he took from Otsutsuki Urashiki, which had been processed and purified by Orochimaru.
He named this technique, which involved dispersing as red origami cranes and then regrouping, "Absolute Gap in the Clouds."
This move was quite similar to the evasion method of Konan’s Dance of the Shikigami.
The Ninjutsu of Ninjas originally came from the Otsutsuki, so this was not surprising.
This technique not only had lower consumption than directly tanking or using large-scale defensive Ninjutsu, but it was also highly sudden and deceptive, enough to disrupt the enemy’s rhythm and judgment.
"What?"
For the first time, Konan in the air showed a clear look of shock.
She was very confident in the power of her Exploding Tags, and the concentrated explosion just now was precisely calculated; how could the opponent be completely unharmed?
Looking at the opponent’s evasion method just now, could it be that he also knows Paper Release?
The Rinnegan of the Six Paths of Pain also constricted suddenly, staring fixedly at Naruto, who had abruptly appeared unharmed on the ground.
How could this method of evading lethal damage be so similar to Konan’s Ninjutsu?
When Uchiha Hikari saw that Naruto was safe and sound, her tensed heartstrings relaxed slightly. However, the anger in her eyes had not dissipated. She turned the Susanoo’s giant sword and locked onto Konan in the air again, clearly setting her sights on her.
Naruto cracked his neck with a slight "click." He first looked up, giving Hikari inside the Susanoo a "Don’t worry, I’m fine" look, before turning his gaze back to the Six Paths of Pain and Konan in the air, a more excited and even slightly playful smile appearing on his face.
"Oh my, I was almost blown up by this auntie."
His tone was relaxed, as if the life-and-death crisis just now was merely a joke.
Auntie?
Konan’s gaze suddenly became sharp.
Although she was indeed older than him, being called an auntie was still quite bothersome!
It wasn’t really Naruto’s fault for calling her that; he wasn’t even fourteen yet, while Konan and Nagato were at least thirty-one.
The two of them were only a few years younger than Minato and Kushina.
The Eight Gates slowly opened, and violent Chakra surged through Naruto’s body.
After absorbing several times the amount of Chakra brought by the Eight Gates, the absorption speed of the Rinnegan gradually began to decrease.
"However, two against one isn’t very fair. Luckily, my Hikari arrived just in time."
Uchiha Hikari’s face instantly turned red.
What does he mean by ’my Hikari’?
This guy really is thick-skinned!
But it didn’t matter anymore; after all, she really was living in his house.
Naruto paused, and golden-green steam suddenly rose around him as his Battle Intent soared once again:
"So now... the situation seems to have become more interesting?"
Naruto clapped his hands together in front of his chest again, his voice suddenly becoming sharp:
"Now this is more like it! Come! Let’s continue!"
