------------------------

Tap... Tap...

Naruto walks toward the crater created by the impact.

Huh!

Swoosh...

Naruto swiftly dodges back.

Shoom...

'Fire-Wind Combo Strike: Strange Mask Exploding Flame,'

A beam of immense heat grazes past Naruto's previous spot. The heat beam hits the distant hill and creates a massive firestorm at the point of the explosion. The heat from the explosion scorches the ground red as pools of lava appear in some places. The firestorm engulfs Naruto, who crosses his arms to defend his body.

Fwoosh...

A figure jumps out of the firestorm. A major portion of Naruto's clothes is charred from the previous jutsu.

Naruto rips away his burned clothes and pulls out a similar jacket from his storage to wear.

"Man! That was my second most favorite jacket." He complains.

"..."

Kurama silently stares at the cinders of his previous jacket.

'Am I turning blind or do they look the same?'

Swoosh...

Another jet of water chases after Naruto. Naruto swiftly avoids the attack and turns his attention to the grudge dolls.

"How are these guys still moving? Aren't they his puppets? If I take down the puppeteer, won't the puppet stop on their own?"

"Naruto... don't tell me you forgot to read the intel about Akatsuki," Kurama questions him.

"I... I did!" Naruto sheepishly scratches his head.

"Then listen closely to me... this guy is called Kakuzu. He is a rogue shinobi from Takigakure. He uses a Kinjutsu called 'Earth Grudge Fear' to separate his body into separate entities linked by thread-like appendages. Each entity has a separate heart and is linked to the main body. Unless you kill every destroy every single heart, he won't die." Kurama describes Kakuzu's information to him.

"So, I have to kill this guy six times to get rid of him for real?"

Mm...

"Alright! It's time to use my new technique."

Naruto pumps his fist and stretches out his hand to gather the chakra in his palm.

Rumble... rumble...

Suddenly, the ground trembles, and a gigantic black Tai Chi formation appears on the ground.

"NARUTO! RUN!" Kurama's urgent voice echoes in Naruto's ears.

"But why... I am about to beat that guy's ass!" Naruto argues.

"Don't argue. Just run!" Kurama warns him.

"Alright!"

Swoosh...

Naruto flickers out of the sphere of influence of the giant black Tai Chi formation.

In the crater near the magatama orb,

"Damn it! That hurt like hell. Just who the hell is that kid!" A badly battered Kakuzu crawls out of the crater.

"He is the current jinchuruki of the Nine-tails." Zetsu crawls out of the ground and informs him.

"Nine-tails jinchuruki... so that means he is one of our targets!"

"Yes!"

"Now this motivates me a little. His head must be worth a lot! But for now..." He raises his head and stares at the giant magatama bead, slowly fusing with the massive planetary landmass.

"I have to get out of here!"

------------------------------

"What... what even is this?"

Naruto stares at the entire process of Konoha getting sealed inside a giant planetary body with his eyes open wide.

"Mom and the rest of the people are trapped in there. I must save them." His expression turns grim as he dashes toward Konoha.

"Wait, Naruto! Your mom and others are fine. Try to sense their presence with Sage mode."

"Alright!"

Shiing...

Orange pigmentation appears around Naruto's eyes while his eyes gain a toad-like feature.

"Senjutsu: First Stage Transformation,"

Naruto opens his eyes and senses the chakra of Konoha shinobi trapped within the giant planetary sphere. He notices the outer wall of the sphere slowly compressing the barrier around Konoha.

"I have to hurry up and save them. At this rate... at this rate... they will end up..." He clenches his fists.

"I will destroy this jutsu using my new technique!" He makes up his mind and stretches his palm.

Whoosh...

An orange orb of chakra takes shape in his palm. Naruto continues to pump more chakra in the jutsu as the orange Rasengan orb expands rapidly.

"Naruto! You can't destroy this jutsu from the outside. You have to defeat the caster of this jutsu to free Konoha from imprisonment." Kurama stops him.

"Damn it! Where could he be hiding?" Naruto grits his teeth. He dispels his jutsu.

"Oh! You are still here." Kakuzu and his grudges walk out of the cloud of dust and debris.

"Hmm... you are also a member of Akatsuki. So, you must know whose jutsu this is. If I beat you up, then I can stop this technique." Naruto makes up his mind.

"Senjutsu: Second Stage Transformation,"

Numerous magatama markings appear all around Naruto's body. A red cloak with black flames covers his back. The Sclera in Naruto's eyes changes to a plus sign.

Shoom...

Ground cracks beneath Naruto's feet. With a flash of orange, Naruto disappears from his position and appears in front of Kakuzu.

"Not again! I still need some time to complete the 'Heaven Grudge Fear: Fusion."

Bang...

Naruto coats his fists with orange chakra and punches Kakuzu.

"Land Release: Rock Body,"

Kakuzu's entire body turns gray as Naruto's punch sends him flying.

Pfft...

He spews out a mouthful of blood as multiple rock fragments split away from his body.

Bang...

Naruto kicks the air and rises in the height.

Bang...

He continues to kick and punch Kakuzu relentlessly.

'Uzumaki Barrage: Tenfold Combo,"

Swirl...

A giant Rasengan appears in Naruto's hands. He smashes it on top of Kakuzu's body, creating a gigantic crater on the ground.

The intense chakra from the Rasengan disintegrates Kakuzu's body into dust.

Crack...

The mask of one of the grudges shatters.

'Water Release: Water Grudge clone Substitution,'

Kakuzu appears at the position of the water grudge.

"You will pay for this! I have to sacrifice my water grudge."

Kakuzu's eyes turn red.

Crack.... Crack... Riip...

The threads on his back rip apart.

Swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...

Earth, Wind, and fire grudge enter his back.

Eugh... argh...

Kakuzu's body balloons up. Multiple threads wriggle through his body like the infestation of a parasite. Kakuzu turns into a giant monster of almost twice his previous size. The mask around his mouth falls apart to reveal numerous stitches.

Bleurgh...

The stitches around his mouth unzip. Kakuzu opens his mouth slightly to reveal the inner cross-section of his mouth as he speaks.

"Earth Grudge Fear was a forbidden jutsu of Takigakure. It was a result of extensive research on living human test subjects and Kekkei Genkai bearers for almost a century. The end goal of this research was to create an ultimate weapon capable of utilizing every known jutsu in the shinobi world. The aim was to not just use every element, but every known and unknown elemental, Kekkei Genkai.

However, despite centuries of research; Earth Grudge Fear was a flawed technique. No matter how much I tried, I wasn't able to combine two distinct elements to create a Kekkei Genkai Technique. But now, with the help of an artifact from the Otsutsuki ruins; I have advanced this technique, not just by one, but by two levels. Now I call it the 'Heaven Grudge Fear'."

Shoom...

A white cone of extremely dense chakra gathers in Kakuzu's mouth.

"Behold the ultimate power of my 'Heaven Grudge Fear'."

"Dust Release: Atomic Disintegration,"

"NARUTO! DODGE! DON'T ATTEMPT TO BLOCK THAT JUTSU!" Kurama yells in Naruto's ears.

Whoosh...

White light engulfs Naruto's vision. A gigantic beam of white light shrouds a wide range area in front of Kakuzu's body. The white cone disintegrates the surroundings, including the trees, rocks, dust, and even the ground to a molecular level.

"He escaped!"

Kakuzu raises his head and notices Naruto high up in the air.

'He used his enhanced strength to jump above the range of the jutsu. But now he is vulnerable while he is in mid-air.'

Kakuzu prepares to release another dust release, when...

Bang...

While in mid-air, Naruto kicks the air, compressing it beneath his feet to create a compressed air pocket. He uses this compressed air pocket as a pedestal and changes his direction into mid-air.

"I have to hold him in a place!"

The combined Lightning and Yin Release spits a dark red lighting chain. The red lighting travels at an incredible pace and wraps around Naruto's body.

Tch...

Naruto grabs the lighting chain and pulls it towards himself.

Swoosh...

The fused grudge flies toward Naruto. Naruto clenches his fist and coats it with the wind chakra as he prepares to punch the fused grudge.

"Damn it! I have to eat a loss. I will sacrifice both Yin and Lightning grudge with him. I will extract the nine-tails from his remains."

Kakuzu makes up his mind and infuses more chakra into his mouth.

"Dust Release: Mass Extinction Ray,"
