Naruto: Menma Exiting Infinite Tsukuyomi

Chapter 181: Heavy Particle

BOOM!!!

The scarlet sphere flew high into the sky above Konoha, and the instant it thoroughly exploded,

first, the entire field of vision turned into a vast expanse of white, then a deafening explosion sound spread throughout all of Konoha.

A terrifying storm, born from the violent explosion, directly swept across the sky above Konoha.

And under the shroud of this terrifying impact,

Crack crack crack! Swish swish!

Countless large trees were uprooted and blown away, and a constant stream of scattered rubble collided with each other.

The Konoha ninja and villagers were like rootless duckweed and tiny ants.

Some villagers who were almost overturned hugged their heads in terror, their bodies trembling as they lay on the ground.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others, who were far from the center of Konoha and the center of the explosion,

subconsciously closed their eyes and raised their arms to shield their faces when faced with the piercing light and the襲来 (shūrai -襲来)ing gale.

After the storm of the explosion subsided,

everyone finally lowered their arms and looked at the scene in the distance.

They saw that a large part of the lush green forest in the distance had disappeared.

A barren, strip-shaped area, several hundred meters long, appeared before their eyes.

The devastation and gullies in that area seemed to speak of the terror of Naruto's ninjutsu.

"Wh-what is that?!"

The crowd followed the sound and looked at the ANBU ninja who had cried out in terror, then followed his line of sight up to the sky.

Immediately, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, their mouths agape.

The sky, originally covered by thick clouds, was like a painting on paper.

It had been torn open by the terrifying explosion, leaving only a patch of azure as the background color.

The cloud layer above the troposphere is about ten kilometers above the ground.

Meaning...

That attack just now flew to a height of at least eight or nine thousand meters?

"This... this ninjutsu's power is enough to change the weather?!"

"Can those S-rank forbidden jutsu, famous for their power, achieve such terrifying might?"

Even the staid ANBU ninja couldn't help but show looks of shock, murmuring in disbelief.

They had only ever seen power capable of creating such a spectacular scene in legendary records.

But the person who used this power now was a child not yet ten years old.

"Could this be the true power of the Nine-Tails?"

A look of emotion appeared on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face: "No, this is definitely not just the power of the Nine-Tails..."

Perhaps the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb could achieve this level of power.

But it could absolutely not be controlled with such fine precision and stability.

Therefore,

this was a powerful forbidden jutsu that Naruto created himself in just a few short minutes, relying on the Tailed Beast's power.

Amidst his shock, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had mixed feelings.

"...How can someone's talent be this freakish?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had always hidden his pride in his heart, for the first time understood what a true talent-type ninja was.

Perhaps, it really was the era of the young people now.

Naruto paid no attention to the change in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mentality.

He was looking at the golden chakra cloak gradually fading from his body, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He had already read through Fox Teacher's notes on the principles of "nuclear fusion" and "nuclear fission" several times.

"Nuclear fission," simply put, is using a neutron to strike a heavy atom, which then splits into two relatively lighter atoms, releasing energy in the process.

And the ninjutsu he used employed the opposite principle.

-- "Nuclear fusion," colliding two lighter particle nuclei to form a heavier particle, and releasing energy in the process.

The Nine-Tails' chakra was the heavier particle, and Naruto's own chakra was the lighter particle.

The two fused, collided, and reacted with each other, thereby producing a stronger chakra and instantaneously releasing a massive amount of energy in the process.

When this chakra comes into contact with others' bodies, it will rapidly burn and consume their chakra, continuously corroding their physical bodies like nuclear radiation.

If exposed to the influence of this chakra for a long time, it could even lead to mutation and collapse at the physical, cellular, and even genetic levels.

Naruto named this ninjutsu "Heavy Particle."

However...

"The chakra consumption for using 'Heavy Particle' is simply too terrifying."

Naruto sighed inwardly: "Most importantly, it will cause a certain amount of damage to my and Fox Teacher's life force."

In the process of using "Heavy Particle" just now, the chakra in his body was directly emptied.

The whole process was very abrupt, completely without any warning.

If he used "Heavy Particle" on a life-or-death battlefield, he would probably become a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others.

So unless it was absolutely necessary, and there was someone trustworthy by his side, only then could he consider using this ninjutsu at his discretion.

Meanwhile, Jiraiya also looked at Naruto with a complex expression.

"Using this ninjutsu towards the sky above Konoha... was it because Naruto couldn't control it, or was he expressing his dissatisfaction?"

A young, inexperienced child suddenly obtaining such great power, and under the inducement of the Nine-Tails at that.

It wouldn't be strange even if Naruto wanted to release the resentment accumulated in his heart.

In fact, that Naruto chose not to directly attack Konoha already showed that his attachment to Konoha was greater than his resentment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen at the side had obviously also thought of this point.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed in Naruto's love for Konoha more than Jiraiya did.

If not for the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra, he would absolutely not have done such a terrifying thing.

"Disperse. All of you, go and comfort the villagers."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, ordering the group of ANBU ninja: "Just say that I was conducting a ninjutsu experiment. Remember to have a better attitude towards the villagers."

The surrounding ANBU ninja all came back to their senses, then used Body Flicker Technique and dispersed in all directions.

In the end, only Sarutobi Hiruzen, Jiraiya, and Naruto remained.

Oh, and Sasuke further away, with a dazed expression.

"Naruto, I'll be leaving first too."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naruto, smiling kindly: "After today's training is over, remember to come find me at the office. I have some things to talk to you about."

Naruto nodded as usual: "Okay, Grandpa Third."

With Sarutobi Hiruzen's departure, Jiraiya managed to calm his emotions and continued with today's training.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

But in a place unseen by the few of them,

the terrifying fluctuations of that ninjutsu had not only alarmed the ninja world.

The terrifying explosion kicked up by "Heavy Particle," and that incomparably dazzling light,

had already been noticed by certain people on the moon.

At this moment, on the moon.

A white-haired old man, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, abruptly opened them.

In his cloudy white eyes, a trace of doubt flashed.
