BXBX NOVEL Chapter 747 - The man who will become Hokage!
On the Battlefield
Mika, Sasuke, and Neji stood side by side. As the three of them united together, the other children breathed somewhat relieved sighs.
Sasuke and Neji are known as the monsters among the geniuses and Mika also has a Kekkei Genkai that allows her to change her body into any weapon that she wants.
Mika’s abilities are quite useful and fearsome when on the battlefield. After all, as long as she has enough chakra, she will never run out of unique weapons with which she can surprise her enemies.
Prepared for the fight, Sasuke, Neji, and Mika glanced at the other battlefields.
On the other side, Kurenai had freed herself, now she and Anko were standing back to back as they faced a lot of children including Shion, Hinata, Yakumo, Shin, Kiba, as well as Sakura who seemed to be protecting the unconscious Naruto.
Although the kids were putting up a tough fight, they were obviously not enough as the two members of Akatsuki had started to overwhelm them, seeing this, Neji said to Lee and Kiyomi, “Both of you go and help them out, I, Sasuke, and Mika-san will take care of this one!”
Both Rock Lee and Kiyomi nodded, “All right.” And went to assist the other kids.
On the other side, Sai, Shino, Tenten, and Fu kept Genma & Raido busy.
“Now the only one remaining is that guy.” Muttered Sasuke.
Mika added from the side, “He is probably the strongest among the five of them.”
Neji said, “As long as we hold him for a while, the reinforcements will arrive from the village.”
Both Sasuke and Mika nodded, “Yes!”
After reaching a consensus, all three looked at Asuma with determined expressions.
Asuma cracked his knuckles upon seeing the children’s intent to fight and shouted with a loud laugh, “What are you three waiting for? Come on!”
Sasuke, Mika, and Neji shot together, the target was Asuma.
And just as these three launched an attack on Asuma, the other children also launched a fierce offensive against the other members of Akatsuki.
Instantly, chaos broke out on the battlefield.
As the sound of rapid metal collision sounded on the battlefield, the figure of Sasuke with Kunai in both hands and Mika with the ends of her hair transformed into dozens of small blades continuously attacking Asuma was revealed.
Neji who was behind saw chakra gather in Asuma’s mouth with his Byakugan, and immediately signaled, “Come back!”
Both Sasuke and Mika followed Neji’s instruction and appeared on his side, as a dragon of fire was breathed out by Asuma.
Seeing the fire dragon coming towards them, Neji took his stance, and used, ‘Revolving Heaven!’ to defend, then immediately used, ‘Eight Trigrams Vaccum Strike!’ to attack Asuma as the battle once again heated up.
Sasuke and Neji have excellent combat skills, and Mika has the versatility of attacks that always provide a surprise element. The combination of the three always kept Asuma on his toes, and he didn’t seem to be able to care about the others otherwise he would get injured by a bunch of children and that would be very embarrassing.
Shion, who was somewhat free, and only assisted from a distance using her Fuinjutsu breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Sasuke, Mika, and Neji fight the fourth member of Akatsuki, “Hmm, I didn’t expect that Mika-chan would be so strong.” Then she looked at Hinata on the side, and asked, “Hinata-chan, how is Naruto-kun doing?”
“There are no injuries, but Naruto-kun is unconscious.” Said Hinata worriedly as she tried to help Naruto regain consciousness.
Shion nodded, “He will be fine.” then looked back at the trio of Neji and muttered, “Well, the three of them are really strong and reliable… They can keep him busy for a while.” In her opinion, the situation has developed quite well. All five members of Akatsuki are currently engaged in combat, and as long as they hold on for a while, the reinforcements from the village will arrive.
“Kuroto-onii-chan why are you taking so long? I am in danger, shouldn’t you come quickly and rescue me!” Shion folded her hands over her chest and muttered in a dissatisfied pout while sucking on a lollipop.
The next moment, Tenten, Shino, Sai, and Fu also fell down from the tree, Tenten, and Fu immediately lost consciousness, while Shino and Sai barely managed to remain conscious.
Immediately afterward, hissing sounds of snakes resounded on their side and all the children who were helping them protect Naruto had snakes wrapped around their bodies, while their minds were trapped in Genjutsu.
Seeing this sudden change, Shion’s expression froze, and the lollipop she was sucking fell to the ground.
A few moments before, there were a dozen of them, and now, only five!
After dealing with the children around her, Anko, and Kurenai looked at Shion and Hinata menacingly.
Feeling that gaze, Shion’s hair stood up, and she said in a stutter, “Stay… stay away from me… otherwise… otherwise… my onii-chan… he will definitely not forgive you!”
“Hahaha!” Anko chuckled evilly and said while licking her Kunai, “I don’t see any Onii-chan here.”
Mika noticed the change on Shion and Hinata’s side and wanted to help her teammates, however, this desire of hers caught her off guard for a second and Asuma didn’t waste that second, and slammed a heavy punch in her gut, causing her to fly out and collide with a tree.
As Sasuke and Neji looked at their companions falling one by one, their faces became gloomy.
All the children still conscious looked at Sasuke and Neji with hope in their eyes, the two of them were the only ones left who stood any chance!
However, it didn’t take more than a few seconds for Asuma to crush this last hope.
Bang! Bang!
As Asuma’s heavy punches landed on the two, their body flew out and crashed into trees with a muffled sound.
After dealing with Sasuke and Neji, Asuma chuckled, “Was that all? Or do you guys still have some fight left in you?”
Sasuke, Neji, and Mika couldn’t only glare at Asuma, they didn’t have any strength to even stand up again.
“Seems like this is the end huh?” muttered Asuma as he took out a Kunai and started walking toward Mika
The other children felt despair as they saw the defeat of Sasuke, Neji, and Mika.
Just when everyone felt that they were going to die, Naruto finally regained consciousness and stood up.
“Naruto-kun?” muttered Hinata, happy that Naruto was all right, but worried at the same time that they might die today.
The other children also shook their heads in defeat. Even people like Sasuke, and Neji are helpless against Akatsuki, what can Naruto do?
Ignoring others’ expressions, Naruto threw a Shuriken toward Asuma, and shouted, “Stop!”
Asuma caught the incoming shuriken, and muttered in a surprised tone, “Oh, you are still here? I thought you would run away while I was busy dealing with your friends.”
“Run?!” muttered Naruto, as his gaze swept over his friends and teachers, seeing their state, anger took over him and he shouted, “Listen up whoever you are behind that mask… I am Uzumaki Naruto, the man who will become the greatest Hokage… I don’t abandon my companions!”
Asuma chuckled, “Before dreaming of becoming Hokage, I think you should dream about surviving this battle.”
“You don’t scare me!” said Naruto, and added, “The one defeated will be you guys!” then he bit his thumb, and started weaving hand signs as he shouted, ‘Kuchiyose no Jutsu!’
“I am sorry Kabuto-nii-chan, although you instructed me to not use this jutsu. In order to save my friends and Sensei, I have to break the promise I made to you.”
Poof!
