Chapter 449: Uzumaki ONE-Punch
Cough cough
Naruto coughs slightly and wipes the dust from his clothes as he jumps out of a small crater.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Minato turns to him as he aids the rest of the Kages in their battle.
His clothes are tattered from the fight, but there is not as much as a scratch on his body.
"I am fine!" Naruto cracks his head.
GWAAH
Fu, in her second-tailed-beast transformation jumps also jumps out from the debris. The chakra cloak around her body flickers like flames. The damage on her body regenerates as a perk of being an Edo.
She releases a roar and charges toward Naruto. A portion of her head turns into the seven-tails. A protrusion resembling the horn of a rhinoceros beetle sprouts from her head. Fu spits out chakra threads from her mouth. The chakra threads wrap around the horn and harden it even further.
"NARUTO! Avoid that attack at all costs." Kurama warns him.
"Huh! Why?"
"Naruto, my seventh sibling, Chomei, is armored kabutomushi (rhinoceros beetle). The armor on its body is even harder and more durable than diamond, especially the horn, which can even shatter the most durable mineral of the shinobi world into dust. Chomei's Spear Attack Shining Horn will grind your bones to dust if you are hit by that attack." Kurama warns Naruto.
"That sounds troublesome, but I think I can fight it." Naruto clenches his fist in confidence.
A red glow gathers around his fist.
"That glow! Naruto, don't tell me, you"
"Yes, it took me a few years, but I think I can use it now. The super powerful technique Izuna Nii-san taught me." Naruto brims with confidence.
"Also, it's almost time."
SHOOM
A large amount of Nature energy flows into Naruto's body out of nowhere. A dark red cloak with a black flame pattern shrouds Naruto and orange pigmentation appears around his eyes.
"Looks like it was a wise decision to leave a shadow clone behind to gather Nature energy." Kurama is surprised by Naruto's wits.
'Even though Naruto isn't as sharp as Minato, his combat sense is greater than Minato.' Kurama praises Naruto in his heart.
"Alright!"
Naruto takes a deep breath and extends his right leg forward while pushing his left leg backward.
SHOOM
He infuses his chakra and nature energy into his fist and stretches it backward. The red color chakra on Naruto's fist turns golden as a result of nature energy.
'I can feel strength brimming through my body.' Naruto clenches his fist and patiently waits for the Edo Jinchuriki to close the gap.
When Chomei's horn is just a meter away from him, Naruto finally takes action.
HAAA
He inserts the entire strength of his body into his fist.
Bang
The powerful reactive force from coalescing his strength forms web-like cracks beneath Naruto's feet.
"Eat this!"
BAANNNGGG
"Alright, I will give a little demonstration of this technique! So, please get away a little."
"Yes, Nii-san!"
Naruto flickers a hundred meters away from Izuna.
"Good! Now watch closely!"
Izuna infuses his chakra and nature energy into his fist and stretches it backward. He also layers the power release chakra on top of it. The chakra on Izuna's fist turns golden as a result. Yellow lightning bolts jolt around his fist.
HAAA
Izuna aims his fist toward a mountain in distance and punches out.
BANG
A massive crater forms beneath Izuna's feet and the powerful shockwaves blow away the forest in his line of sight. Back in the distance, a huge fist print appears on the mountain.
Rumble rumble
The top of the mountain crumbles apart to create a landslide. Various animals and birds hurriedly escape from the area.
"Oops! I overdid it."
Izuna whistles and turns around.
"So, did you see that?"
"Yes!" Naruto frantically nods his head.
Sigh
'What hardships I have to face just to mimic a fraction of One-punch-man's true strength!'
"Ah! I almost forgot. Naruto, follow this training regimen. One hundred pushups! One hundred sit-ups! One hundred squats! And a ten-kilometer run"
"Umm Nii-san, that's too easy!"
"I am not done yet. Perform this training set a hundred times. Do you understand Naruto?" Izuna turns to Naruto.
"Yes, nii-san, I will start right now." Naruto dashes off in the distance.
"Good! But don't overdo it."
"Oh! I forgot to tell him the turning off the AC but with Tsunade, it won't be a problem."
Izuna whistles and surveys the isolated island full of dangerous beasts.
*********End of Flashback*********
Onoki and A also pay attention to Naruto.
"So, that's the power of the jinchuruki of the nine-tails. The power he used in his battle against the legendary Rinnegan wielder Pain of Akatsuki." Onoki remarks.
"This brat" A also stares at the smoking fist of Naruto.
'Can I withstand such a punch with my lightning cloak?' A question himself.
'I probably can't!' His inner voice answers him. Naruto's figure overlaps with the figure of Izuna in A's mind.
"This brat he reminds me of Izuna Uchiha!" A murmur as he recalls his bet with Izuna a few years ago. (Chapter 123)
At that time, he had bet with Izuna to save the life of his comrade. Both of them agreed upon a test of endurance. Izuna's punch sent him into a coma for three days. The feeling of pure strength is still etched on his body.
A stare at the fist mark on his abdomen.
