"Thump, thump..."
The distinct sound of footsteps seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet corridor.
Finally, after walking for a long time, the faint rays of light indicated that the exit had been reached.
"Amaru, be careful, stay calm."
Naruto walked beside him and reminded him, "You might be about to face some unbelievable and cruel reality. You have to hold on, Amaru. No matter what, I'll always be here with you, protecting you."
"Tch, Naruto, you're so cheesy."
Amaru glanced at Naruto, his face suddenly turning slightly red.
"Amaru, I'm serious."
Naruto looked at Amaru with a serious expression. "Anyway, please don't get defeated. Promise me, okay?"
"Naruto, what's wrong?"
Amaru frowned as he looked at Naruto and asked in confusion.
"Shennong, he..."
"Hahaha..."
Before Naruto could finish his sentence, a wild laugh rang out from the other end of the exit.
"That voice...is it the teacher's?"
Amaru was overjoyed and immediately ran out of the passageway.
"Amaru, you can't go there!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Naruto quickly stepped out of the passageway and stood in front of Amaru.
"Naruto, move aside! My teacher is still alive! He's still alive!"
Amaru was clearly unable to contain his excitement and was pushing Naruto's body with all his might.
"Amaru, calm down and listen to me!"
Naruto stretched out his arms and hugged Amaru, trying to enlighten her, saying, "Amaru, your teacher is not as kind as you think. He is a completely wicked bastard!"
"Naruto, are you joking?"
Amaru chuckled. "How could my teacher be a bad person? Right, teacher?"
Seeing Amaru looking at him, Shennong laughed wildly: "Of course it is."
"Naruto, look, the teacher is really a good person, so stop being so suspicious."
Amaru smiled happily and was about to push Naruto away.
"However, the one who answered correctly isn't Amaru, the correct answer is... Naruto..."
Shennong smiled sinisterly, watching Amaruna's smile gradually fade away with a mocking expression.
"No...no, teacher, you're lying, aren't you?"
Amaru forced a smile and looked at Shennong, "Teacher, please stop joking, okay?"
"Amaru, you've always been like a little child, so easy to fool."
Shennong scoffed, tearing off his black headscarf and ripping it into strips. "Practicing medicine in all directions, saving countless lives? Humph! Only a fool would do such a thing!"
"Why? Why?"
Amaru murmured to herself, snuggling closer to Naruto for a pitiful bit of comfort.
"Shennong, you old bastard! Shut up!"
Naruto glared angrily at Shennong, wishing he could blast him to smithereens with a single Rasengan.
"What? Are you angry?"
Shennong looked at Naruto with a mocking expression, "What good is anger if you're like this?"
"Drink! Boom!"
With a roar, Shennong's entire body overflowed with gushing black chakra, and his muscles bulged.
"See this body? Perfect muscular structure, it's truly a 100% perfect body."
Shennong tapped the seat's support lightly with his fingers. "And this throne, it truly is a perfect throne..."
"You arrogant old bastard! Die!"
After helping Amaru to sit down, Naruto activated his Natural Mode and charged towards Shennong. He was furious; he was truly enraged.
"Whoosh! Kusanagi Sword! Thud!"
Naruto flashed to Shennong's side before he could react, and summoned the Kusanagi Sword to deliver the attack.
"Uh...what?"
Staring at the Kusanagi sword piercing his chest, Shennong was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible? It actually possesses speed faster than my current body?"
"Chakra Activation Fist!"
"boom!"
With a large amount of black chakra gathered on his fist, Shennong slammed his fist towards Naruto.
"Sizzle!"
After slashing a large gash in Shennong's chest, Naruto stepped back.
Of course, Shennong's punch missed its target and fell to the ground, causing a huge roar.
Are you very proud of your body?
Naruto's lips curled into a strange smile. "Then I'll make you even more proud."
"Unrestricted proliferation of body cells!"
With a low shout, Naruto formed a series of hand seals.
Then, a faint green light shone from the blood-red, hideous wound on Shennong's chest.
"What?"
Seeing the chest cells beginning to multiply without limit, Shennong was startled and hurriedly urged his body to strengthen itself once again.
"Chidori! Sizzle!"
With a cold shout, Shennong's body withered instantly, his hair turned white and fell out, and he looked like a dying old man on his deathbed.
"Sasuke?"
Looking at Sasuke jumping out of the window, Naruto grinned, "You finally decided to come back?"
"Hmm, I've already inserted several chakra needles into this guy's body, so he obviously can't cause any trouble now."
Sasuke stared coldly at Shennong and spoke.
"hateful!"
Shennong's aged and hoarse voice came, and then a secret passage opened, from which he fell down to the ground.
"Sasuke, after him!"
Naruto called out and jumped onto the passageway above the wall, disappearing inside.
Following Naruto, Sasuke bent his knees and then jumped into the passageway.
Running swiftly along the seemingly endless passage, Naruto arrived at his destination in an instant—the place where Shennong was hiding.
The walls were covered with strange and incomprehensible symbols. Naruto looked around, then jumped down from the passage and walked to Shennong's hiding place, the source of Zero-Tails' energy: the location of its heart.
"Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha, you two actually dared to come along?"
Shennong, hiding in Zero-Tail's heart, spoke in a sinister and arrogant tone, "Since you're here, then become Zero-Tail's nourishment!"
"Tch, absorb chakra? You dare try absorbing my chakra?"
Naruto looked at Shennong with disdain.
"You brat, you still dare to be stubborn even when you're about to die?"
Shennong smiled sinisterly, controlling Zero-Tails' pale yellow tentacles to wrap around Naruto.
