26: Chapter 26 Daily Life! The Moment of VictoryHe didn't even move his feet, he just thought of it.
Swish!Swish!
Two of the golden chains that were shooting out instantly changed direction like loyal dogs that had received a command.Like two golden steel whips, they lashed out at the blazing fireball with a sharp sound as they tore through the air!
boom--!
The seemingly powerful fireball was as fragile as a balloon in front of the Vajra Chains containing the power of the vortex seal, and was easily popped!
Sparks flew everywhere, and the heatwave was instantly extinguished by the strong wind generated by the chains!
Naruto's true form, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, had already locked onto Ebisu's true form's movement trajectory underground in an instant through his shared radar-like keen perception!
Looking at the clone that remained in place with a blank and somewhat irritating expression, Naruto's lips curled into a sly smile.
"Hehe, let's play along!"
Bang!
A shadow clone appeared next to Naruto.
Instead of his real self, the shadow clone Naruto pretended to be distracted by the fireball and made a slightly exaggerated sidestepping motion.
The shadow clone then swiftly rushed towards the clone left behind by Ebisu, easily piercing it with a kunai.Simultaneously, as planned, it shouted in a tone tinged with surprise:
"Haha!Got you.Huh?A clone?"
Everything happened in the blink of an eye!
Ebisu, who was lurking underground, was overjoyed when he heard the shadow clone's shouts filled with "annoyance" and "surprise"!
'Success!Just as I predicted!The kid fell for it!'
Without hesitation, he burst out of the ground from behind the source of the sound!
"Kid!You're still too green!"
With a smug smile of certain victory on his face, Ebisu extended two fingers of his right hand, aiming straight for "Naruto's" vital spot on the back of the head.
At the same time, he casually adjusted his signature round-framed sunglasses with his left hand, striking a pose that he thought was incredibly handsome.
"This time—I won!"
However, his finger that pierced the shadow clone only touched a wisp of smoke.
puff!
The shadow clone vanished.Ebisu's smile froze instantly, his smug pose also froze, and his hand adjusting his glasses remained suspended in mid-air.
Instead, there were several golden chains that had been lying in wait on the ground, poised to strike like venomous snakes!
They seemed to have a life of their own, and instantly sprang into the air!
Swish!Swish!Swish!
In Ebisu's horrified gaze, the cold, golden chains, imbued with powerful sealing energy, coiled around him like serpents.
They bound him tightly from head to toe—arms, torso, and legs—with precision and speed!
The powerful binding force from the chains and the eerie feeling of subtly suppressing the flow of chakra rendered him instantly immobile!
In the center of the training field, the real Naruto stood with his arms crossed, his face showing a hint of fatigue from precisely controlling so many golden chains in actual combat for the first time, but more so the composure and excitement of a victor.
He looked at Ebisu, who was bound like a dumpling with golden chains, his face displaying a variety of expressions, and a confident smile curved his lips as he calmly declared:
"It seems—I've won."
The last rays of the setting sun fell upon him, making the dozen or so golden chains gleam like divine ornaments.
On the sidelines, Konohamaru had already jumped up excitedly, his little face flushed red, waving his little fists wildly:
"Boss!Boss!You're so cool!"
Ebisu, who was tightly bound, was left only with futile struggles in his chains and doubts about the meaning of life.
"Impossible!Absolutely impossible!"
————————
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, gently illuminating Naruto's messy blond hair.
The alarm clock on the bedside table dutifully emitted a piercing "beep beep beep" sound.
However, Naruto, who should have been annoyed and turned off the alarm after being woken up, was still sleeping soundly, only with his brows slightly furrowed.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
Swish!Swish!Swish!Swish!
Four translucent diamond chains, shimmering with a pale golden light, silently extended from behind Naruto, as if they possessed their own life!
Their movements are gentle and precise, like the most attentive butler.
The first chain, like a nimble finger, pressed gently, instantly silencing the jarring alarm clock.
The other two chains, like gentle arms, carefully supported Naruto's dazed body, lifting him from the warm blankets and placing him steadily beside the bed.
The last chain, like the most diligent servant, quickly rolled up the clean clothes folded on the chair and gently helped Naruto, who was still in a half-awake state, to get dressed.
Naruto was like a giant doll, being manipulated by these golden "butlers".
At the washbasin, a chain handed him a toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed on it, while another chain used a damp towel to wipe his face.
The cold water finally made Naruto a little more awake.
At the same time, the "buzzing" sound of the microwave oven could be heard from the kitchen.
It turned out that the other two chains had already worked together: one opened the refrigerator door and precisely took out the deluxe bento box that the shadow clone had packed back last night; the other put the bento box into the microwave and set the time.
When Naruto was finally "served" and dressed, washed up, and sat down at the dining table, an enticing aroma of food wafted over.
Hunger instantly dispelled the last trace of sleepiness, and Naruto was fully awake!
Wow!It smells so good!
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he eagerly picked up his chopsticks.
But he didn't start immediately.Instead, he closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into that strange, alien space.
"Thanks, Ichigo!Luffy!"
Naruto grinned at the two tiny figures in his consciousness space, "Thanks to you guys for your help!Otherwise, I would have been in a complete mess this morning!"
Xiao Yi crossed his arms and gave a cool "humph," but there seemed to be a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and eat, don't delay the graduation briefing."
Little Luffy excitedly waved.He clenched his fist: "Hehehe!Next time, let the chains try making barbecue!Meat!Meat!"
This little trick of making the Adamantine Chains "automatically" handle trivial matters when the body's main consciousness is confused was something Naruto discovered by chance after mastering the Adamantine Sealing Chains.
The younger Ichigo and Luffy in the consciousness space are, after all, just "buffer" personalities formed when Naruto's own young consciousness could not fully bear the enormous memories and values.
When Naruto's body has awakened but his main consciousness is not yet fully awake, they can briefly use the Adamantine Chains as "hands" to perform some delicate or repetitive operations.
This not only made life much more convenient, but Naruto also foresaw that it might become an unexpected trump card in future battles—
With the help of Ichigo and Luffy's more experienced combat skills, their consciousness can manipulate the chains, achieving a more exquisite teamwork!
As for the sumptuous breakfast before me, it is another benefit brought about by the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
