Naruto: The Shinobi World Exposed Chapter 42 42: Blown Away in One Breath—And Sakura Gets Knoc

Inside the Reaper's Stomach (place where souls are sealed after a user performs the Reaper Death Seal) — Dead Demon Consuming Seal

"Wow! Naruto is so strong right now! Even I couldn't do that at his age!"

Kushina Uzumaki cheered excitedly.

Minato, however, looked worried.

He knew well: drawing on the Nine-Tails' power would put an enormous strain on Naruto's body.

Hidden Sand Village

"So this is the power of the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki?"

"It seems much stronger than Gaara was…"

"So this is the difference between tailed beasts?"

Chiyo sighed. Konoha had won back then, so it received the Nine-Tails—there was nothing more to say.

Hidden Cloud Village

"The Nine-Tails' power is impressive," the Fourth Raikage A said proudly, "But the Eight-Tails wouldn't lose."

After all—

Killer B and the Eight-Tails shared a bond few jinchūriki ever achieved.

Hidden Stone Village

"First that Sasuke kid, now this Naruto."

"No wonder Konoha won the war back then."

After all, the God of Shinobi and the Legendary Sannin were all from Konoha.

Hidden Mist Village

Terumi i: "Chōjūrō, if Sasuke and Naruto fought, who would win?"

Chōjūrō thought seriously. "Both are strong… but if I had to bet, Naruto might win!"

"Why?"

"Because Naruto is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki!"

Terumi nodded thoughtfully.

Konoha

"Good! Naruto, you truly are our village's jinchūriki. Impressive strength!"

"But it's still not enough. Don't worry, Naruto—I'll definitely steal a Transformation Pill for you!"

"Then Konoha's title as the strongest will never be shaken!"

Hiruzen made up his mind. He absolutely had to steal one…

Not for himself—of course not.

(It was absolutely for the village!)

Root Headquarters

"Yamato cannot be eliminated," Danzō muttered. "The Nine-Tails' power is still unstable. Wood Release is necessary to control it."

In his mind, the Hokage seat already belonged to him.

And Naruto, the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, was rely a tool he would eventually control.

Inside Naruto's Seal

"Damn brat!"

"That weak level of power? THAT'S what they show of ?!"

"This is an insult to my na!"

"No! When that future cos—everyone will witness my true strength!"

The Nine-Tails gnashed his teeth, furious that the scene made him look weaker than he believed himself to be.

The screen continued.

Kabuto launched an attack at Naruto.

Naruto turned around—and spat chakra at him.

BOOM!

Kabuto was blasted away instantly, flying straight toward Sakura's group!

Yamato and Sai dodged with a quick shunshin.

THUD!!

"Ah!"

Sakura, unable to react, was slamd by the airborne Kabuto and knocked out cold the mont she hit the ground.

Konoha — Chūnin Exam Arena

"What?! What?! She fainted just from being hit? Forehead Girl, how are you so weak?! Hahahaha!"

Ino mocked rcilessly.

"I…"

Sakura's face darkened. She wanted to protest… but how?

The scene had completely exposed how useless she was.

Truly—

appearing in these visions ant risking total humiliation…

"Hey Sasuke, Forehead Girl is too useless. From now on, just ignore her, okay? She's not worthy."

Ino winked at Sasuke expectantly.

But Sasuke wasn't paying attention to Sakura at all.

His eyes were locked on—

"Naruto… I didn't expect you to beco that strong in the future."

"That power… even the future might not have it."

"Naruto, I won't lose to you."

The scene continued.

Tenchi Bridge collapsed even further.

Kabuto slamd into a large tree, blood dripping from his mouth—yet his face was filled with excitent.

"Just chakra… just chakra alone could do THAT!"

CRACK!

RUMBLE!

The ruined Tenchi Bridge finally gave way, collapsing entirely.

Orochimaru leapt back gracefully.

Naruto fell toward the river below.

SWISH!

A massive chakra hand reached up from the river, grabbing for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru dodged instantly.

The chakra hand grabbed a huge tree, pulling Naruto onto it.

Then—

Naruto and Orochimaru clashed, moving rapidly deeper into the forest.

Sai stared in awe.

"That chakra is incredible! He alone can rampage freely like a one-man army!"

"But… this is the perfect chance!"

"Now I can finally carry out my top-secret mission."

Inside the Reaper's Stomach (place where souls are sealed after a user performs the Reaper Death Seal)

Kushina: "Go Naruto! Beat up that stinky snake!"

Minato: "…That's Lord Orochimaru."

"Hmph! If he dares hurt my Naruto, he's a stinky snake! Stinky! Snake! Forever!"

Konoha — Chūnin Exam Arena

"So Naruto becos that strong?" Orochimaru chuckled.

"But compared to Sasuke, still a bit lacking."

"And Naruto's power is clearly the Nine-Tails'. If it weren't…"

He licked his lips, leaving everyone unsure what exactly he ant.

Hiruzen frowned deeply.

"Top-secret mission?"

"That Sai kid is working for Danzō. At a ti like this, shouldn't he be fighting Orochimaru together with the team?"

"That old bastard… he really will do anything just to beco Hokage."

"The village must not fall into his hands."

Hiruzen clenched his fists.

Once he stole a Transformation Pill and powered up—

He would remove Danzō.

Old friend…

It's not that I won't tolerate you.

You've simply gone too far.
