He forcibly interrupted his spell, but was also cut on the forelimb by the wind blade that the opponent hastily parried, and Akamaru let out a cry of pain.
"Multiply Technique: Partial Multiply Technique!"
Choji, who was right behind him, roared and enlarged his arm, punching another Sound Ninja who was trying to bypass Neji to attack Tenten, forcing him back.
"The Art of Chaosing the Mind and Body!"
Ino, in a slightly safer corner, focused her attention on trying to disrupt an enemy's actions, but with little effect.
Shikamaru was shocked: "Why are you here?"
Choji quickly carried Ino to Shikamaru's side: "Kakashi-sensei and Asuma-sensei sent us here. It's a complete mess outside!"
"But this isn't exactly a safe place either," Shikamaru thought, feeling quite troubled.
The enemy outnumbered them, coordinated perfectly, and acted ruthlessly.
Although they coordinated well, they were caught off guard and instantly found themselves in an extremely dangerous and passive situation.
Neji's Rejuvenation Technique couldn't cover everyone, and his shadow control range was limited, making it difficult for Tenten and Kiba's attacks to inflict decisive damage.
Fear and stress, like cold, venomous snakes, coiled around their hearts.
Sakura watched Sasuke in the arena, his life hanging by a thread, and her companions in the rest area, their lives in danger. Tears welled up in her eyes.
However, as a medical ninja, Sakura had learned the ironclad rule of medical ninjas: no matter what happens, never stand on the front line.
Therefore, in her haste and panic, Sakura could only channel her worry into her fist, sending a nearby Sound Ninja flying with a single punch, his fate unknown.
At this critical moment, a very familiar golden figure suddenly rushed in front of everyone!
When Naruto, who was originally in the stands, saw that Sasuke was in danger, he wanted to rush in to help, but instead he crashed into the defensive barrier.
Fortunately, Sasuke was safe and sound. Furthermore, Sasuke realized that this was probably not an operation targeting the Martial Arts Altar, but rather an operation targeting the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Naruto then hurriedly returned to the rest area to provide support.
Chapter 113 The Beginning of the Counterattack
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!!!"
Without any hesitation, Naruto quickly formed the familiar hand seals with his hands.
The enormous chakra within him, inherited from his mother's Uzumaki clan and subtly nurtured by the Nine-Tails' chakra, erupted like a long-suppressed volcano!
boom! boom! boom! boom……
A series of dense, hair-raising white smoke burst into the air like an explosion!
The entire rest area, and even the adjacent passageways and the remains of the stands, were instantly filled with countless golden figures!
Countless Narutos appeared out of nowhere, like a golden, raging tide!
Each of them wore the same angry gaze and the same unwavering determination to protect their companions!
A golden ocean instantly engulfed the rest area, its sheer number creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Even the sinister smiles on the faces of the approaching Sand Village and Sound Village ninja froze instantly, replaced by boundless horror!
They were as if they had crashed into a golden wall that rose instantly, made of angry will!
"Compare numbers with me? Let's see who has more people now!!!!"
More than two thousand voices converged into a deafening roar, like a thunderclap.
It even briefly drowned out the roars of the tailed beasts in the arena and the explosions on the periphery!
No tactics, no fancy moves.
Only the simplest, most direct, and most violent counterattack!
The golden ocean instantly surged back!
Countless Narutos fearlessly charged towards the attacking enemies.
The punches and kicks rained down like a storm, completely chaotic, yet carrying an overwhelming sheer number!
The Sand Ninja who attacked Tenten was instantly pinned to the ground by dozens of Narutos stacked on top of each other, and their kunai were knocked away.
The Sand Ninja, who were immobilized by Shikamaru's shadow, were simultaneously punched and kicked by dozens of Narutos, and had no power to resist.
The Sound Ninja who attacked Neji were grabbed by the hands and feet by more than a dozen Narutos and forced to the ground by brute force!
The Sand Ninja attacking Kiba were completely overwhelmed by the golden sea of people, and all that could be seen were countless fists and footprints falling.
The pressure on Choji and Ino also decreased sharply. With the help of Naruto's clones, Choji's huge fists quickly knocked away the enemies who were entangled with him.
"How can it be?!"
"Monster! These clones... is their chakra limitless?!"
In just a few breaths.
Those fierce attackers didn't even have time to use any decent ninjutsu.
They were completely overwhelmed and defeated by sheer numbers!
The screams were endless.
The golden ocean receded instantly.
Most of the clones turned into white smoke and disappeared, leaving only the main Naruto in the center of the arena, slightly panting and sweating on his forehead.
And around him, Shikamaru, Neji, Tenten, Kiba, and Akamaru, still shaken and looking at him with gratitude.
And Choji and Ino, who had just regained their footing.
The situation, which was just a moment ago on the verge of collapse, was instantly reversed by him in an almost domineering manner!
"Naruto...thanks!" Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Neji also unusually offered his praise.
Although she quickly tried to hide her embarrassment by rolling her eyes and scanning her surroundings warily, her companions still noticed.
“Naruto-kun… is really amazing! Right!” Tenten nudged her companion with her elbow.
At this moment, Akamaru excitedly rubbed against Naruto's leg, expressing its approval and gratitude to Naruto.
Naruto turned around, flashing his usual sunny smile: "Hehe! Leave it to me! You think you can hurt my comrades? Not a chance! As for Sasuke..."
His smile vanished instantly, and he looked anxiously towards the center of the arena.
According to the live broadcast, Sasuke and Hayate have dodged Gaara's attack, but the situation has not improved.
Within the sealed space, a crimson chakra, like a viscous sea of blood, slowly flowed and surged.
The Nine-Tails' enormous body lay prostrate on the "ground" formed by consciousness energy, like a mountain.
Its blood-red beastly eyes were half-closed, seemingly oblivious to the devastation Konoha was suffering outside its consciousness space.
It wasn't indifference, but rather understanding.
With its terrifying perception that covers the entire Leaf Village and even further.
The information about the battlefield unfolded in its mind like a clear painting. It "saw" it.
The attacks from the Sand Ninja and Sound Ninja were sudden, putting the Leaf Village in a passive position for a time.
However, Konoha was not unprepared.
The Uchiha clan's distinctive, chilling yet highly efficient chakra fluctuations were rapidly spreading throughout the village—
The Konoha Police Force has mobilized!
Like a black stream, they quickly guided the panicked crowd into pre-designated shelters and underground passages.
The actions were swift and orderly, effectively reducing stampedes and unnecessary casualties in the chaos.
Further away, in the core area of the perception barrier, the circulation of chakra is accelerating, like a sleeping behemoth beginning to awaken.
A powerful counterattack is gathering strength deep within the village's defense system.
Nine-Tails exhaled a small wisp of sparking breath from its nostrils, like a low hum.
"Hmph, quite a few casualties. The Uchiha guys are actually quite useful at times like this."
It lazily assessed: "At this rate... in another ten minutes or so, once those annoying civilians have all hidden themselves, Konoha's fangs will be revealed."
Minato's figure hovered silently in front of the Nine-Tails' enormous cage gate, like a golden lighthouse.
His eyes, as blue as the sky, saw Naruto fighting desperately for his comrades.
"Naruto... as expected of you."
He murmured softly, his voice exceptionally clear in the vast space of his consciousness: "He truly inherited Kushina's bloodline and her burning heart of protection."
He remembered his wife's fiery red hair and her indomitable fighting spirit.
The Nine-Tails slightly raised its massive head, its blood-red beastly eyes glancing at Minato before it smiled faintly: "Indeed, a lot of chakra..."
It emphasized its tone and swung its tail more forcefully: "But there were too many people, and the techniques that Old Spotted Head taught him were greatly limited, resulting in him only being able to throw wild punches."
Minato chuckled helplessly at Kurama's comment: "Haha! That's true. If Naruto had faced a slightly stronger enemy, the sheer number of enemies wouldn't have worked; in fact, it would have limited him."
While teamwork is important for ninjas, the number of ninjas should not be increased.
After all, two or three people, if they cooperate well, can exert the strength of a thousand troops, while seven or eight people attacking in a group, if they don't cooperate well, are more likely to accidentally hurt friendly forces.
Soon, Minato's smile faded, and his gaze turned to the wider world outside, where war was raging.
The worry in his voice returned to his brow: "However, what's more worrying right now is the overall situation. This attack was clearly premeditated, a coordinated attack from within and without, and the offensive was so fierce and sudden... I wonder how things are on the Third Hokage's side, whether he can stabilize the situation and make an effective response?"
Chapter 114 Madara's Doubts
Kurama rested its chin on its front paws again: "You don't need to worry about that. To some extent, I watched him grow up, and I know his strength very well. Orochimaru is definitely no match for him."
Just then, the tip of the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail, which had been lazily swaying, suddenly lifted slightly and accurately poked the back of the figure sitting cross-legged on its head.
"Hey, Old Man Spotted?"
Kurama's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible doubt: "You've been unusually quiet since just now. What? This little commotion in Konoha isn't enough to bother you? Or... were you scared by the commotion up there?"
Its blood-red beastly eyes turned upwards, a mischievous glint in them.
