Chapter 112
Uchiha Obito had clearly heard the conversation between Naruto and everyone just now.
He knew that Naruto was now on the opposite side of the four great ninja villages.
He also knew that Naruto was going to become an enemy of the ninja world.
Naruto was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Even though he had that power himself, he had destroyed Konoha single-handedly, beheaded the Third Hokage, and escaped completely.
Such achievements were already shocking to the ninja world. Very impressive.
So Uchiha Obito wanted to recruit Naruto.
His Akatsuki organization needed people like that.
People with similar experiences who were strong enough to do such cruel things.
After hearing Uchiha Obito's recruitment offer, the representatives from the other ninja villages perked up one by one. They all looked at Naruto, wanting to see what he would answer.
If the powerful Nine-Tails Jinchuriki joined forces with the Akatsuki organization, that was a force they had to take seriously.
They were very concerned about Naruto's decision.
But after hearing Uchiha Obito's words, Naruto snorted contemptuously and gave an answer Uchiha Obito hadn't expected.
Naruto looked at Uchiha Obito coldly and said quietly:
"I want to be the enemy of the ninja world, but I don't need to side with you. Akatsuki is also my enemy."
Hearing Naruto's words, Uchiha Obito frowned. The other great nations breathed sighs of relief.
They didn't want to see the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and Akatsuki join forces.
Then Uchiha Obito snorted coldly, his scarlet Sharingan narrowing as he said:
"Are you sure?"
"Akatsuki's power is not as simple as what you've seen. Thinking you can shake the entire ninja world alone is a bit delusional."
"Let alone Akatsuki's strength—you can't handle us by yourself. And there are four great countries. They won't let you go either. I suggest you be more reasonable. Cooperating with Akatsuki is the smart choice."
Uchiha Obito's words were filled with threats and warnings toward Naruto.
If Naruto refused, Akatsuki's first target would be him.
But after hearing Uchiha Obito's words, Naruto wasn't afraid at all.
Instead, he smiled faintly, glanced at everyone coldly, and finally settled his gaze on Uchiha Obito. The contempt in his eyes was obvious.
Then Naruto said quietly:
"Just a bunch of ants huddling together for warmth and a pawn being used by someone else. You think too highly of yourselves."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, everyone was stunned. Then Fourth Raikage reacted. Before Uchiha Obito could speak, he slammed his fist on the table, pointed at Naruto, and shouted angrily:
"What did you say? Nine-Tails brat, don't be so arrogant!"
Everyone was furious at Naruto's words.
Naruto was basically saying he didn't take any of them seriously.
Calling them ants.
How could they tolerate that?
Uchiha Obito also narrowed his eyes. He never expected Naruto to reject his offer so forcefully, without any fear of the great powers or Akatsuki.
Seeing the indifference on Naruto's face, Uchiha Obito couldn't help feeling confused and surprised. He couldn't figure out why Naruto was so arrogant and confident.
Hearing Fourth Raikage's angry roar, Naruto looked over calmly, glanced at him, and said:
"I said you're not worthy of making me afraid."
Hearing Naruto's provocative and mocking words again, the hot-tempered and arrogant Fourth Raikage Ai finally couldn't take it anymore. With a roar, lightning-style chakra erupted from his entire body!
Then Fourth Raikage clenched his fist violently. His fist contained tyrannical lightning-attribute chakra as he blasted it toward Naruto!
Fourth Raikage had finally lost control and attacked Naruto!
Seeing this, Naruto showed no fear at all. He snorted coldly, raised his head, and looked at Fourth Raikage charging at him.
Then he lifted his foot and kicked out like a whirlwind!
The speed of that kick was as terrifying as a lightning bolt, creating a burst of afterimages that made it impossible to see clearly!
The kick landed on Fourth Raikage just as he reached Naruto!
Fourth Raikage couldn't even see Naruto's movement. He didn't even bother trying.
Because he thought that in his lightning-attribute chakra enhanced mode, his defense was strong enough to ignore Naruto's attack. He believed he could take Naruto down with one punch.
But the next moment—
Something happened that no one expected!
Naruto's kick landed on Fourth Raikage instantly.
A powerful force erupted from his foot. The surrounding air burst into a cyclone because of that terrifying power!
Where Naruto's foot struck Fourth Raikage made a loud cracking sound!
Then everyone watched in shock as Fourth Raikage, who had been charging madly at Naruto, was kicked flying backward!
Like a rubber ball, he flew through the air and slammed into the stone wall of the meeting hall!
The solid stone wall was smashed into a huge hole by Fourth Raikage's body!
His body was embedded in the wall!
Seeing this scene, everyone's mouths dropped open in astonishment. Their eyes were filled with disbelief as they stared at Naruto like they'd seen a ghost.
The person who got kicked wasn't some ordinary ninja. It was the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure!
Anyone who became Kage of one of the five great ninja villages had to be strong!
Fourth Raikage was known as the fastest ninja in the world. The one with the most explosive power!
The speed from his lightning-attribute chakra mode was comparable to the original Fourth Hokage's Yellow Flash.
The physical defense boosted by his lightning-attribute chakra was also extremely powerful.
He was like a living monster in the ninja world.
But now he couldn't block one kick from Naruto. He got sent flying!
That was terrifying.
Absolutely incredible.
And the speed of Naruto's kick was too fast. No one present could clearly see Naruto's movement, let alone when he started his counterattack.
At that moment, they were all shocked by the power Naruto had displayed.
Many people gasped. Uchiha Obito stared at Naruto with his scarlet Sharingan.
Only now did they all realize they had underestimated this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki the entire time.
Just moments ago, they had been discussing how to divide up the captured Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. But now they were completely stunned by Naruto.
Fourth Raikage had been kicked away by Naruto.
The scene at this moment made their earlier conversation at the Five Kage Summit seem utterly ridiculous.
