Chapter 508: Escape from Genbu Island
"What?! The Nine-tails Jinchuriki is attempting to escape!" A Kumo shinobi receives the news.
"What should we do?" He informs the captain of the situation.
"Activate the 36-layered Self-Regenerating Barrier!"
The captain immediately issues the orders to the barrier team.
"Yes, sir!"
A few members of the shinobi team insert multiple chakra crystals inside a fuinjutsu formation. Each of them occupies a node and makes a series of hand signs.
"RELEASE!"
They slam their palm on the node and activate the various chakra circuits of the fuinjutsu formation to activate the barrier formation.
Rumble Rumble
The entire island trembles slightly and a giant transparent wall of hexagonal-shaped chakra blocks rises and covers the entire island in a dome shape.
The transparent walls slowly meld with the surroundings and turn invisible to the naked eye.
"Will this be enough to hold him back?" One of the Kumo shinobis gulps his saliva.
"Of course, it will be. This barrier is the peak of the barrier fuinjutsu skills of Kumogakure. It was only after numerous years of research (and stolen Fuinjutsu scripts from Uzushiogakure) and hard work that the shinobis of our nation came up with such a powerful barrier technique. This barrier is powerful enough to withstand the full-scale rampage of a tailed beast without breaking apart." The captain proudly puffs his chest out.
"Why do you think Lord Bee trained on this island?"
"Because it's so peaceful here! And Lord Bee pissed off Lord Fourth with his rapping!" One of the Kumo shinobis answers him.
Bang
The captain smacks his head and clears his throat.
"It's all because of this barrier. In his early days as a Jinchuriki, Lord Bee would often lose control and the eight-tails would often rampage throughout the island. But this barrier could contain his rampage and help him calm down. Eventually, Lord Bee gained control of his tailed beast and became a perfect Jinchuriki. Even after becoming a perfect jinchuriki, he is unable to break this barrier. That's how powerful this barrier is!" The captain explains.
"But but isn't the Nine-tails more powerful than the eight-tails? Also, there are rumors that the Nine-tails jinchuriki fought and won against the former leader of Akatsuki." The subordinate who got his head bonked retorts.
Bang
The captain bashes his head again and remarks.
"What difference could an extra tail make? Besides, didn't you see the nine-tails Jinchuriki with your own eyes? He is just a kid. Not only that, he can't even properly control his tailed beast and is currently undergoing training under Lord Bee. So, how could he be as strong as the rumors make him to be?" The captain shakes his head in denial.
"Also, inform the headquarter of the situation, just in case!"
"Umm what should I say, chief?"
"Tell them the nine-tails jinchuriki attempted to escape but was held back by our barrier!"
Back at the entrance of the temple,
Naruto exits the temple after deceiving Iruka and his group. He arrives outside the confinement of the temple and glances at the sky of the temple.
"Hmm I can't sense their location any longer!" Naruto frowns.
"Looks like they repaired the barrier." Naruto clicks his tongue.
"Still, I already know the general location. Once I escape this island, I can navigate on my own." Naruto pumps his fist and dashes in a direction.
Bang
He didn't even take a few steps forward before he rams into an invisible wall. The barrier in front of him shimmers with a blue light and turns invisible.
"Aww I almost broke my nose."
Naruto rubs his sore nose.
"Huh! What's this? A barrier?!" Naruto knocks on the invisible barrier and the impact point shimmer with a blue hue.
"It's indeed a barrier!" Naruto rubs his hands against the wall of the barrier and carefully studies it.
"Hmm it seems to be a multi-layered barrier. And from the look of it, there are several layers stacked on top of each other. Also, the eye of the formation is"
Naruto narrows his eyes and glances in the opposite direction. He notices a tower-like structure on the other end of the island.
"It's there!"
Sigh
Naruto sighs and shakes his head.
"It's a pretty clever design. To reach the eye of the formation and destroy its power source, I have to break through all layers of this barrier!" Naruto praises the design of the barrier.
"This barrier is pretty similar to one of the barriers from the Uzumaki clan inheritance." Naruto shrugs his shoulder.
"For now, let me test the strength of this barrier!"
Naruto folds his arm and gathers a large amount of chakra in it.
Shoom
He creates a Rasengan in his right hand.
"RASENNGANNN!"
Naruto slams the Rasengan into the barrier.
Crack Crack crack
Numerous spider-like cracks spread across the surface of the barrier. A giant hole appears at the point of impact and the first layer shatters into fragments. Naruto continues to push his Rasengan forward.
The Rasengan shatters another two layers before dispersing.
"He broke through three layers with a single jutsu!" The eyes of the shinobi, who was about to report to headquarters, widen.
The eyes of the captain almost pop out of their eye socket.
"No! No! This must be a fluke! He must have used quite a lot of his chakra." The captain cooks up a lie to convince himself.
"Hmm So with every layer is sturdier than the previous layer." Naruto withdraws his hand and the barrier quickly regenerates itself.
"That's a pretty quick regeneration. The amount of chakra crystals in this barrier must be quite hefty."
Outside the barrier, the eyes of the captain bleed with tears as a small batch of chakra ore turns into dust.
"His one punch is equal to my monthly salary!" The captain sniffs and wipes his eyes.
"Time to turn serious!" Naruto takes a deep breath and closes his eyes.
A few seconds later, he opens his eyes, and an orange pigmentation appears around them. A red cloak with a black flame pattern appears behind Naruto's back.
Naruto raises his hand towards the sky.
Shoom
He gathers a large amount of chakra in his hand and creates a Ch-dama Rasengan. Naruto infuses his Senjutsu Chakra into the giant Rasengan. The integrity and power of the jutsu increase by manifold.
"Ch-dama RASENGANNN!!"
He slams the Rasengan into the barrier.
BANG BANG BANG BANG
Naruto's attack sets off a series of explosions and instantly seven layers of the barrier crumble apart.
"WHAAATTT?!!"
The chief gets the scare of his life as Naruto instantly destroys one-fifth of the barrier.
Naruto continues to push forward and destroy one layer after another. He only stops after destroying fifteen layers. After fifteen layers, his Rasengan disperses.
"He destroyed fifteen layers in an attack. The max Bee-sama destroyed was twenty-six layers." The chief heaves a sigh of relief.
"That must be his limit, right?!"
Yet the very next second, Naruto enter into his Nine-tails chakra cloak mode.
'Hey Kurama, can I use the Senjutsu chakra mode with your chakra?' Naruto enquires.
'Of course! There is no problem. I can even passively gather some nature energy for you." Kurama nods in affirmation.
"Then, let's do it!"
Shiing
An orange glow envelops Naruto and a new chakra cloak appears around his body. The red cloak of nature around Naruto's back disperses into multiple magatamas. These magatamas imprint on his back and Naruto clenches his fist.
"I feel much more powerful than before!"
Naruto raises his head and gathers chakra in his hand.
Shoom
A small blue Rasengan appears in his hand. The Rasengan expands rapidly and its color changes to orange after reaching its final size.
"Let's go!"
Naruto smashes his new giant Rasengan into the barrier.
BANG
An ear-piercing sound rings through the entire island as Naruto shatters seventeen layers in a go.
"What the" The captain also faints from the shock.
"Here I go!"
Naruto pushes forwards and shatters one layer after another. He breaks through eight more layers and soon approaches Bee's previous record.
Naruto feels a powerful resistance acting upon his body.
HAAH
He applies more pressure and shatters the twenty-sixth layer.
"I won't stop here!" Naruto shatters two more layers before his jutsu disperses completely.
Huff Huff
Naruto breathes heavily after exhausting all the chakra in his jutsu.
"It's still not enough!" He shakes his head.
At the entrance of the temple,
"Aren't you going to help him out?" Gyuki questions Bee as the latter glances at Naruto.
"Fool Ya Fool! Naruto looks so cool. He needs no tool to break this flimsy wool!" Bee raps in front of Gyuki.
"Besides, even I can break through this barrier if I want to. I just didn't as insurance for Big Brother. Also, since he thinks I can't break this barrier; he always locks me up here." Bee breaks into a burst of laughter.
