Chapter 338 Why doesn't this person have *that*?
Since Naruto didn't trust it, Kurama had no choice but to verbally command Naruto to launch a counterattack.
When Kurama was giving Naruto instructions, he suddenly realized that this was a good thing.
Naruto's distrust of entrusting his body to it indicates that there is still a barrier between them, which means that it doesn't need to worry about the prophecy.
Pretty good.
Under Kurama's command, Naruto controlled the giant golden Kurama to lie down and plunge its hands into the sand.
Seeing Naruto's action, Sasori in the cockpit hesitated for a moment, abandoned his energy attack, and instead ran towards Naruto, preparing to use a physical attack.
If it is a true enemy, according to the strategist's teachings, several principles should be upheld.
For example, a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; an inch longer, an inch stronger; use ranged attacks whenever possible instead of melee attacks that expose weaknesses, and so on.
But things are different now.
Naruto is his sparring partner.
The purpose of sparring with Naruto was to test the various functions of the mechanical Nine-Tails, not simply to defeat him.
The mechanical Nine-Tails punched towards the Nine-Tails' face, right where Naruto was standing.
The Nine-Tails' complete tailed beast transformation is different from other tailed beast transformations. Rather than the flesh and blood form of a tailed beast, it is closer to the chakra form, so it will appear as a golden, semi-transparent shape.
This form looks cool, but it also directly reveals the location of the Jinchūriki.
"Meow!"
The golden Nine-Tails suddenly roared, pulling its hands out of the sand and meeting the mechanical Nine-Tails' fists.
boom!
With this punch, the mechanical Nine-Tails actually took two steps back and staggered.
Scorpion was also startled. Logically speaking, this power was not much different from the first attack. Why did this happen?
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the golden nine-tailed fox was wearing two thick layers of glass gauntlets on its hands.
The glass boxing glove that had been used in the punches already had cracks and quickly shattered and fell to the ground.
In their first exchange of punches, it seemed that both sides were using ordinary physical attacks, but that was not actually the case.
The punch delivered by the Nine-Tails in its chakra state would still be absorbed due to the impact, as it was still in chakra form.
This time, because they were separated by glass during the punches, the Nine-Tails' chakra was not absorbed and converted by the mechanical Nine-Tails due to the attack, so the mechanical Nine-Tails bore all the force of the attack.
As for how Naruto did it, that was thanks to Kurama's command.
Naruto hasn't mastered the Rasenshuriken yet, nor has he mastered the Tailed Beast Ball.
However, not mastering it means not being able to condense it and release it to cause damage.
It's fine to simply try to concentrate and then fail.
The Nine-Tails' plan is for Naruto to use the high temperatures generated during the Tailed Beast Ball's condensation process to vitrify all the sand and form gauntlets.
"It seems I'll have to add sensing functions like infrared thermal imaging when I get back this time."
After glancing at it, Scorpion understood what had just happened.
This is normal.
Because in the original work, Sasori used this move in the battle between Sakura and Granny Chiyo, where he used flames to burn sand and turn it into glass for an attack.
Naruto controlled Kurama's other fist, which was still wearing a glass glove, and punched it towards the mechanical Kurama's face.
Scorpion remained unfazed. His mechanical nine-tailed tail opened its mouth and fired an energy cannon, shattering the glass and sending the punch flying back.
"We've tested the gigantification, physical attacks, and energy attacks; there are still some..."
Sasori launched a stealthy attack on Naruto, who had crouched down again, plunging his hands into the sand in preparation to put on his gauntlets once more.
[Naruto, can't you be a little more elegant? Making this old man pose like that is a bit lewd.]
The Nine-Tails was making sarcastic remarks in Naruto's mind.
Naruto used the force of that energy cannon shot to do a backflip and create distance, then squatted down in a toad-like position with his hands stuck in the sand.
The Nine-Tailed Fox is in this pose, sticking its butt out, as if it's begging to be hit.
"Hey, Kurama, why are you so concerned about this? Didn't you just say that the reason this is called Mechanical Nine-Tails and Steel Horn is because of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, not what I think..."
[Oh no! Kid, watch your back!! My chakra has been ripped open!]
Naruto was talking to Kurama in a relaxed manner when Kurama suddenly interrupted him anxiously.
An extremely tiny puppet, as fine as a needle, pierced through the Nine-Tails' chakra defenses and was rapidly approaching Naruto.
Scorpion's current technology is certainly not capable of creating anything like nanorobots.
But the miniature puppets are still fine.
The puppet is only the size of a finger, but because all the puppets are connected to the main body, this miniature puppet has the same energy level as the giant mechanical Nine-Tails.
Furthermore, with the energy concentrated in one point, it's not surprising that it could tear apart the Nine-Tails' chakra-form outer garment.
On the contrary, if there is any earth-style or metal physical barrier, it can produce a better effect than the Nine-Tails Cloak at the same cost.
"Here we go again? Why do these people always attack from behind?"
Naruto was on the verge of a breakdown as the little thing got closer and closer behind him.
This is not the first time.
From Kakashi's Thousand Years of Death when he first stole the bell, to Kimimaro's Ten Fingers Piercing Bullet Thousand Years of Death a while ago, and even the electric drill.
So you're all just staring at this spot, aren't you?
[Naruto, calm down. This guy has a special attack against chakra. Use kunai and shuriken, quick!]
Nine-Tailed Fox was also very anxious.
It would feel the same way if Naruto were attacked.
Although the tailed beasts may not appear to have that part, their senses are still synchronized.
Tailed beasts are aggregates of chakra; they don't have that particular part simply because they don't need to eat, drink, or excrete, so it's hidden.
Otherwise, the stomach wouldn't be needed. Why would Gold Horn and Silver Horn still be able to devour flesh and blood inside the Nine-Tailed Fox's stomach?
"Wait! I give up! I agree to Kakashi-sensei's marriage!!!"
In his panic, Naruto suddenly had a flash of inspiration and chose to surrender, dispelling his chakra cloak.
Naruto fell from the sky, and the miniature puppet, propelled by inertia, soared into the sky, grazing Naruto's shoulder as it flew away.
"boring."
Upon hearing this, Sasori immediately dispelled the armor fusion, and the mechanical nine-tailed fox split back into individual parts, which Sasori then collected back.
"Heh heh, you think you can just surrender like that? You're too gullible! You want to stab me? I'll stab you first! I am the sole successor of Kakashi-sensei's ultimate Konoha Fluid Technique, the Thousand Years of Death! Prepare to die!"
Naruto excitedly made a hand gesture and appeared behind Sasori.
The scorpion remained unmoved and continued walking forward.
"A Thousand Years of Killing!"
Boom!
Click.
Naruto's expression froze.
"Ah—my fingers—"
Naruto rolled on the ground, clutching his broken finger.
—Why is this guy's butt so hard?
—Wait, why doesn't this person have a PY (private partner)?
