Naruto: Changing Fate
Chapter 525: "Love rival" is extremely jealous when meeting?Small fan VS red panda! 【Down】
Under Xiao Tuanfan's pre-planning, the shurikens thrown were not so much intended to injure the red panda's body at all, but rather were calculated to face the absolute defense possessed by the red panda. A yellow sand barrier will appear to block the shuriken attack, and it is deliberately used as a target to absorb the shuriken.So that in this smooth movement, the steel wire wrapped around the shuriken can be firmly trapped on the yellow sand barrier before the red panda notices that something is wrong!
It is precisely because of this that the long-planned Xiao Tuan Fan, the moment he activated the Dragon Fire Technique, caused the scorching fire snakes to press towards Gaara's figure step by step through the traction of the steel wire.Then, the yellow sand barrier surrounding the sphere burned fiercely and was forcibly turned into a large fireball. The spherical barrier that was supposed to be a solid fortress for the red pandas suddenly heated up rapidly. Just like a cocoon, it has become a giant steamer that restricts the red panda's movements since childhood and threatens its life safety!
"Huh...did you succeed? In order to achieve this effect, it took a lot of my chakra..."
After the hot fireball was completely formed and ignited by the abundant oxygen around it, it could continue to burn for a period of time even without the chakra support of the small fan. After that, the small fan stopped using the Dragon Fire Technique. Sustained release.Then, while exhaling softly, he whispered to himself in a low voice.While taking advantage of the situation, he spat out the remaining wire residue that had been burnt into shape and cleaned it up.Then he remained silent for a while, holding his breath and observing the huge fireball in front of him, and any changes that might occur.
Because, Xiao Tuanshan knew very well... Even if the red panda, which specializes in defense, does not add the power of the one-tailed crane in the body, it is not possible for Xiao Tuanshan to be able to do anything in this short period of time with just his own true ability. An existence that can be easily solved.It is even more impossible for him to be like those ordinary people who are really helpless and waiting to die under the siege of this Dragon Fire Technique, which is only defined as C-level...
In other words, now that they both know each other's abilities, the dragon fire technique prepared by Xiao Tuanfan is just an "appetizer" deliberately given to Naruto with prior instructions in order to make the scene more lively. "That's it!I never expected that with this offensive, I would be able to take advantage of the little panda that didn't fight back!
And the subsequent development was just as Xiao Tuanfan expected...
"……boom--!"
With a loud bang, the originally burning hot fireball turned into dots of fire and exploded in all directions!This also allowed the red panda figure, which had been folding its arms from beginning to end, appearing to be at ease, to reappear in the eyes of everyone!If you look closely, you will see that even in the spectacular offensive just now, you have suffered even a little bit of damage.Even the clothes on the red panda showed no signs of being rolled up by the high temperature just now!
The reason is that, in the final analysis, the spherical barrier surrounding the entire body of the red panda is yellow sand that can be manipulated as the red panda changes its mind.So much so that if the red panda thought about it, it could disintegrate the defensive barrier on its own the moment the flames swept up, making the small fan's attack useless!Even though he had been silent for a long time, he was caught off guard rather than the sudden attack by Xiao Tuan's hand.It's more like a tacit understanding with Xiao Tuan Fan, cooperating with each other, and staged a "fighting" scene of "all-out"!
In order to make this drama more realistic and credible.Naturally, we have to add some "spice" to this much-anticipated showdown before the audience sees any doubts...
Thinking of this, the red panda and the little tuanfan just looked at each other, as if they were old partners who had worked together for many years, knowing that what the other was thinking was exactly the same as their own.Without any words, like two agile little cheetahs, they burst out with astonishing speed and quickly approached each other.Then, between the four fists facing each other, the two people, who abandoned the fancy ninjutsu attacks, used the purest form of taijutsu to fight each other with fists and fists!
Of course, in the process of "friendly exchanges" between you and me, because each other did not use their full strength, both Xiao Tuanfan and the red panda had enough free time. mind, go do something else.In the eyes of outsiders, the two people, who were fighting indistinguishably and selflessly "for the glory of their respective villages," took advantage of this opportunity of close contact to start joking and talking as if no one else was watching.
"It's a move I haven't seen before...it's weird and interesting."
Calculate the strength and angle so that the "heavy punch" he hits can rub the temple of the small ball fan. After being "barely" dodged by the person, the red panda took advantage of the situation and pulled himself closer, maintaining his position. With an expressionless and indifferent look on his face, he used a gentle tone that clearly did not match his expression as he teased Xiao Tuan Fan word by word.
"It seems that you have saved a few moves in the previous fight."
"Hey, why don't you come here... Isn't it because your defensive ability is so abnormal that I can't use these skills at all? Otherwise, you think I like to use those skills that are very lethal but obviously obvious. Are there any moves that require more chakra?"
At the same time, in terms of physical combat, Sasuke, who has an obvious advantage over the red panda, naturally looks more professional in this acting action that creates a "hard fight" atmosphere.So much so that when the dodge movements were just right, he created a figure that was difficult for the red panda's attack to hit Xiao Tuan Fan.But the counterattack launched by Xiao Tuan Fan was not enough to break the red panda's absolute defense.Then he "reluctantly" withdrew his right hand that failed to break through the yellow sand barrier with one punch, and blocked the "strong" side kick of the red panda. He grinned and pretended to be resisting with a small ball fan, He complained angrily.
"In the end, I'm not like you and Naruto, that super invincible idiot. We are both Jinchūriki with too much chakra and no place to use it. We have to be careful and economize on how to use it."
"Chakra is... that's right. This is probably the only benefit you can have after becoming a Jinchuriki... but compared with what you have to lose, even if you are really given a chance to become a Jinchuriki, you will probably Just reject it, right?"
And just after Xiao Tuan Fan's words [Ling O'clock Reading] came out, the little panda, who had already had a rough understanding of Xiao Tuan Fan's character in the process of getting along with him for more than a month, naturally would not foolishly think that Xiao Tuan Fan These words spoken by Uuan Fan were truly envious of their Jinchuuriki's "generous treatment".So much so that he responded indifferently, while using the automatic defense of the yellow sand barrier to slow down the attack speed of Xiao Tuan Fan, he "struggled" to block its incoming fist, and retreated several times. After taking a step, the red panda raised its head slightly, as if it had discovered something, and continued speaking with a hint.
"It seems like the lazy chatting has come to an end... Close combat is not my style after all. If I continue fighting like this, my father... the Yondaime Kazekage will probably become suspicious."
In words, although deep in the heart of the red panda, he still longs for his father's recognition and praise, but in these years, he has experienced countless assassinations and betrayals, and even Yashamaru, who the red panda regards as one of the spiritual pillars, He almost became one of the many ninjas who assassinated the red panda under the vicious orders of the Yondaime Kazekage, which made the red panda feel completely cold towards his nominal father.So in this upcoming war, the red panda not only decisively chose to stand on Naruto's side, but also treated Luosha with a title that had been timid with a bit of expectation and coquettishness since childhood. The word "father" has completely transformed into the cold words "Yondaime Kazekage" which has no emotion at all!
It is precisely because of this that even though the red panda knows it, in terms of the way he views himself, from beginning to end, he wants to kill him quickly.Even with all the information about the red panda, Luo Sha didn't bother to take a second look, let alone know what the current strength of the red panda has reached under Naruto's training and guidance.I'm afraid I don't even know anything about the red panda's usual fighting style...
But under Naruto's prior instructions, the red panda, who was trying to entrust Naruto with the task that he entrusted to him and try to make it as perfect as possible, naturally couldn't allow himself to make even the slightest mistake at this point!Then, under the continuous fighting and fighting, the red panda, who thought that the atmosphere of the scene had been heated up enough, kicked the little panda with a little force as soon as he finished speaking, and completely smashed the small group of fans that rushed in front of him. His body was kicked and sent flying backwards!In order to use this method that is least likely to arouse suspicion from others, he can regain and maintain a certain distance from the small round fan.
"Huh? Are you ready to get serious? It just so happens that I'm tired of this kind of fake fight drama that doesn't hurt or itch."
Of course, during the kicking process, the red panda, who had already mastered the strength, would naturally not kick out the little panda who had been doing physical training with Naruto for many years, resulting in an unusually strong and powerful body. Come anyway.After realizing the red panda's intention, he pretended to be invincible and backed away, and then opened the distance again.In addition to the concern of avoiding suspicion from others, Xiao Tuanfan, who also believed that this farce had come to an end, quickly formed seals with his hands while standing up.
"Then, let's decide the winner in this move..."
Just as Xiao Tuan Fan finished his words, Xiao Tuan Fan, who had just made three seals, briefly stopped his hands on the "Shen" seal.Then, while gently placing his right hand on the wrist of his left hand, he moved his left hand, which was originally stretched out in front of him, downwards and hung vertically toward the ground.
"Chidori—!"
The chakra refined and transformed into thunder attribute in the body flows along the meridians in the body, stimulating every cell in Xiao Tuan Fan's body.This gives the small group fan a strengthening effect called sexual activity, and it quickly gathers between the five fingers that are bent into claws.It wasn't until dots of electric arcs flashed in the palm of Xiao Tuan Fan's left hand, and finally evolved into a rather dazzling ball of electric light that continuously overflowed with bursts of sharp sounds, that Xiao Tuan Fan, who frowned slightly, spoke again. He continued solemnly.
"Be careful, don't say I didn't warn you in advance... the penetrating power of the move I'm going to use next can't be resisted by ordinary automatic defense!"
"It seems that this is one of your hidden trump cards, right? It seems that you are very confident in it... In a sense, this should be regarded as your 'strongest spear', right?"
Facing this group of beautiful and moving figures, but able to feel the strong sense of crisis in the electric light, the red panda, which had been posing with ease, finally showed a smile with excitement as the corners of its mouth slightly raised.Immediately after the fine sand loaded in the gourd spewed out without reservation, it quickly sank into the ground.In order to mix the hard minerals existing underground into these fine sands to achieve the effect of enhancing the hardness, they will continuously resurface from the ground while consciously condensing and forming rapidly.Finally, in front of Gaara, he transformed into a statue of One-Tailed Shukaku with his arms stretched out to block his attack!
"In the words of Naruto Nisan, it is disrespectful to come back without reciprocating... Since you have already used the 'Strongest Spear', I will also show you my 'Strongest Shield'!"
In his words, the red panda took the initiative to reveal the intention of this move, which naturally made the name of this move easy to say...
Among the several defensive methods used by Gaara in the original plot, the defensive power is considered to be one of the most powerful moves - Shukaku's Shield!
In other words, for the Chidori unleashed by the small circle fan, the Red Panda, who is already a perfect Jinchuuriki, not only does not underestimate the enemy in the slightest.On the contrary, driven by this completely opposite emphasis, he did not hesitate to use the absolute defense in the true sense that he could use without using the power of the Tailed Beast of One-tailed Shukaku. !It is enough to see that Xiao Tuanshan has already won the recognition of the red panda by virtue of his own strength in the process of getting along with him for more than a month!
"In other words, what will happen next will be the competition between the 'Strongest Spear' and the 'Strongest Shield'... Hahaha! Interesting! Then, let's see! Which one is mine?" The strongest spear is sharper, but your strongest shield should be stronger!"
And after Gaara's Shukaku Shield was completely condensed and formed.Because with my own perception, I can feel an unshakable thought from this seemingly funny Shukaku statue, as if I am facing a high mountain. When the bird's power exploded, he finally felt relieved whether he would seriously hurt the red panda's little fan.Immediately, driven by the gradually rising fighting spirit, the small ball fan, which was already ready to attack, rushed towards Gaara's figure with an astonishing speed that was many times higher than before.At the same time, he used his prepared left hand as a sharp blade, waving it forward.In order to make that unskillful, but fast and deadly stabbing attack!
"I'm going to fuck, Gaara—!"
"Hahaha! That's right! As the final blow of this duel, this is really appropriate!"
Facing the fierce attack of the small ball fan, it seemed to be a real full-force attack. The red panda, who was also completely ignited with fighting spirit, also laughed loudly as if no one else was watching.Then, it condensed and condensed the size of the Shukaku Shield in order to enhance the defensive power of the Shukaku Shield by changing the overall density.While heading towards the high-speed attack, the small fan figure with sparks and lightning all the way shouted in anticipation.

It is precisely because of this that the long-planned Xiao Tuan Fan, the moment he activated the Dragon Fire Technique, caused the scorching fire snakes to press towards Gaara's figure step by step through the traction of the steel wire.Then, the yellow sand barrier surrounding the sphere burned fiercely and was forcibly turned into a large fireball.
