Chapter 61: Breaking Through

A.N -Drinking game: Take a shot every time I say the word "chakra" in this chapter.-

Seeing the massive corpse of the snake reduced to cinders, Naruto could not complain about the effectiveness of this strategy.

"Urgg…" However, his right arm was going to be unusable for a while.

Third-degree burns will affect the muscles and bones, after all.

But he had to admit that seeing the shocked expression on that woman's face was very satisfying.

His two teammates were equally surprised.

"What was that jutsu?!" Sasuke asked no one in particular. He was very knowledgeable about fire jutsu, as it was the specialty of his clan. But that one felt much stronger than the ones he knew.

"That's the thing he did at the bridge!" Sakura would never forget that moment.

The heat was even more intense back then, and if their sensei didn't protect her, she would have suffered some burns for sure.

"At the bridge?... you mean…" Naruto never gave Sasuke a satisfactory answer when he questioned him about what happened in that fight. His teammate only told him he used some risky jutsu and killed the masked ninja but would give him no details.

"This is what he used?..." Now he understood what happened back then. There was no chance for that ice ninja to have survived this.

"Those eyes… that chakra…" The woman had jumped off the snake in time to avoid the wave of heat that came off Naruto's palm.

She knew what was inside Naruto, as every other adult in the village, but this was truly something she did not expect. "You have some control over 'that' chakra…."

It was the only explanation. That attack had been very intentional and not just something that happened after losing control to the demon.

"That's very interesting, but…" She disappeared from the spot.

The next moment she was next to Naruto. "I can't let you interfere with my business anymore…"

Naruto was aware of the attack. But no matter how many years of fighting experience he had… his body could not move to match his enemy's.

He tried to turn and use the blade in his left hand to block the incoming attack, but her hand moved around the sword like a snake and ended up hitting his chest.

Naruto was sent flying away and crashing against another tree. Eventually, he landed on a large branch and remained in a sitting position, seemingly unconscious.

"Naruto!" Sasuke jumped into action, throwing his fears aside to face the enemy in front of him.

The woman glanced in Naruto's direction, wondering if her move was enough to cut his supply of demonic chakra.

She had directly injected her own chakra into his core, creating an interference. It would have been more effective to place a seal over his own, but she was wary of him using that move again.

Seeing that Naruto did not move and Sasuke was getting closer, she shifted her focus. "Oh…the Sharingan." She noted his eyes.

Sasuke went all out against her, using all his strongest moves.

Meanwhile, Naruto was having his own fight inside his mind palace.

His supply of chakra had been cut off by something that woman did.

"Disgusting…" He stood in front of the pool that represented his chakra core.

All around it was some dark purple substance that was preventing it from circulating his chakra.

"Is this?... that woman's own chakra? Why does it look like that?" It almost appeared to be alive.

"She must be a Demonic Cultivator… that's for sure." He had never seen something like that before.

"Now… the question is… how do I get rid of it?"

He had read a bit about the Hyugas and their personal jutsu, capable of blocking the chakra veins, but this was something different.

Still, he was sure it would go away if he let it be. Chakra, no matter how weird, cannot remain active for long once it leaves your body. That's why things like fuuinjutsu exist. And this was definitely not a seal.

"But that may take hours… I don't know what that woman wants, but I can't just sit here and let her do what she wants."

There was only one method he could think of to remove this foreign energy from his body.

He would have to overwhelm it with his own chakra reserves.

Even if he can't circulate it through his body, he still has access to the energy already stored in his core.

Naruto tried the best he could, but soon realized that his current reserves were not going to be enough.

"So my only choices are to wait until this foreign chakra weakens, or…"

His body has another source of energy he could use.

But that was risky. Because of the blockade, he cannot just circulate the Kyubi's chakra like he usually did.

He would need to allow a tremendous amount of demonic chakra to burst through the block. It would be like opening all the gates of a water dam at the same time.

That demonic energy is extremely harmful to his body. If he is not capable of regaining control afterward, it would destroy him completely.

It was a gamble…

He could take this risk, or he could hope that woman's intentions were not too extreme.

But if she was anything like the demonic cultivators he knew… a fate worse than death may await him and his two teammates.

"No… I won't have that. If I have to die, I'd rather die my way."

He used his connection with the demon fox to make him aware of his intent.

And the flood began.
