"Damn it! Watch the trick!"
Konohamaru roared and charged at Kongou with all his might.
A spinning kick landed hard on the opponent's shin, but it felt like hitting steel, making his own foot bones ache!
King Kong paused only slightly before throwing a backhand punch.
The fierce wind it generated made Konohamaru gasp for breath, and he rolled away in a sorry state.
The strength gap is too big!
This is not a battle, but a toy and torture!
King Kong's power was unmatched; every attack was powerful and heavy, easily shattering the children's defenses.
Golden Love Flower's chakra threads appear and disappear unpredictably, not only having a paralyzing effect but also being able to control a person's movements.
Moegi and Udon almost attacked each other several times under control.
Konohamaru and his two companions were repeatedly knocked down, their bodies covered in countless wounds, their ninja uniforms stained crimson with blood.
Menghuang's arm was cut by the silk thread, and it was bleeding profusely;
Udon's forehead was broken and blood was flowing freely;
Konohamaru was covered in bruises and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth.
But they gritted their teeth and got up again and again, roaring.
Fight back with the most basic ninjutsu, shuriken, and taijutsu!
They covered for each other, and Moegi tried to cut the threads of the Golden Love Flower with her shuriken.
Udon uses the most basic earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in martial arts) to create obstacles.
Konohamaru, on the other hand, kept provoking Kongo, drawing the main firepower.
To protect the desperate father and son behind them, and their fiercely resisting guards.
They cannot retreat! They absolutely cannot retreat!
"Naruto-nii... just watch! We... will never give in!"
Konohamaru spat out a mouthful of blood, then staggered to his feet again, his eyes burning with an indomitable flame.
The guards' eyes reddened as they watched the three children fight valiantly to protect them.
They roared and tried to rush forward to help, but were easily forced back by the force of King Kong's casual punches, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Tsk, what a tenacious cockroach."
Standing on high ground, Shi Li looked down at the horrific scene below, seemingly losing patience: "However, the game should end now. After watching for so long, it's utterly boring."
His cold gaze swept across the battlefield, finally settling on Konohamaru, who had repeatedly led the charge, his eyes shining brightest despite his numerous wounds.
"King Kong, stop playing around and kill that noisiest brat first," Shi Li ordered casually, as if he were just ordering someone to swat a fly.
Upon receiving the order, King Kong's eyes flashed with a fierce light!
Chapter 290: Well done! Konohamaru!
Having received the order, King Kong abandoned his playful antics, and his enormous body unleashed a speed disproportionate to its size.
In an instant, they covered a distance of several meters.
That enormous fist, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, was filled with terrifying chakra and carried an aura of death that could crush everything.
He slammed his fist down on Konohamaru's head, which was sluggish due to exhaustion and injury!
The force of the punch made it almost impossible for Konohamaru to breathe, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped him!
He could even see the rough texture and bulging veins on Vajra's fist!
There's no way to avoid it! There's absolutely no way to avoid it!
"Konohamaru!" Moegi and Udon screamed in despair!
The guards' eyes were bloodshot with rage!
Prince Full Moon closed his eyes in terror!
At this critical moment!
The promise Konohamaru had made to Naruto and his belief in his ninja way, which had always sustained him, erupted like a volcano at its last moment!
Extreme fear can give rise to extreme courage!
"I'm not afraid of you at all!!!"
Konohamaru let out a heart-wrenching roar that exceeded his own limits!
He even closed his eyes.
Not because of fear.
Rather, it was to pour all their beliefs, all their strength, all their resentment and anger into this final, most frantic counterattack!
He used the last bit of strength in his body to concentrate all his chakra into his right fist.
Facing the crushing shadow of death, he fearlessly unleashed a punch that surpassed his own limits!
That wasn't any kind of ninjutsu; it was just the purest, most direct punch, imbued with his entire will and belief!
BOOM! ...
A deep, muffled sound, as if striking everyone's heart, suddenly exploded!
The scene of flesh and blood turning to mush that I had imagined did not occur!
Instead, under the incredulous, ghost-like gazes of everyone—
King Kong, with his massive, mountain-like physique and terrifying strength, was struck head-on as if by an invisible giant hammer!
His massive, forward-charging body suddenly halted, then resumed its charge at an even greater speed than before.
Like a kite with a broken string, it flew backwards!
Click! Click! Click!
A series of chilling sounds of bones cracking rang out!
King Kong's massive body smashed through countless rotten wooden stakes along the dock.
It smashed through the wreckage of the stranded ship and finally slammed into the solid cliff behind it like a cannonball!
The cliff shook violently, rocks fell in a flurry, and dust filled the air!
As the smoke cleared, people witnessed a scene they would never forget—
King Kong's entire chest caved in, revealing a terrifying fist-shaped dent.
His head slumped limply against his chest, his eyes wide open.
It was filled with utter shock and disbelief, and had completely lost the breath of life!
He...was killed by Konohamaru...with a single punch?!
The entire abandoned port was shrouded in a deathly silence.
The sounds of the waves and the wind seemed to have disappeared.
Everyone seemed to be frozen in place.
They stared dumbfounded at Konohamaru, who remained in a fist-pumping stance, his face equally blank and incredulous.
Then look at the gruesome corpse of King Kong, embedded in the mountainside on the cliff face.
"I...I...am I really that good?"
Konohamaru looked at his slightly trembling, even somewhat swollen, fist and muttered to himself.
I have absolutely no idea what just happened.
The feeling of that punch...it wasn't as if it wasn't his own strength...
"Well done, Konohamaru!"
A familiar, cheerful voice, filled with relief and encouragement, like warm sunshine, suddenly came from behind Konohamaru!
That voice... is...
Konohamaru suddenly turned around!
Naruto was standing there completely unharmed!
Her golden hair still shone brightly in the cold moonlight, and her azure eyes held an approving smile.
A familiar, reassuring smile curved at the corners of his lips.
His orange training uniform was spotless, without a trace of petrification.
"Naruto-nii-san!!!"
Overwhelming surprise, grievance, and lingering fear overwhelmed Konohamaru's mental defenses like a burst dam!
He could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down his face like broken beads. He rushed over and hugged Naruto tightly.
The small body trembled violently with excitement and lingering fear: "You... why did you take so long to come! Waaaaaah..."
He cried like a lost child who had finally found his parents.
Naruto gently patted Konohamaru on the back.
His gaze, sharp as a knife, rose and locked onto Shi Li, who was also gripped by immense shock and disbelief, atop the mast.
"You...you...how could this be?!"
Shi Li's voice became sharp and distorted due to extreme horror.
He pointed at Naruto, his fingers trembling: "My petrification gaze... it clearly... it clearly restored you... how did you recover?! This is impossible!"
Naruto gently pulled Konohamaru behind him, a mocking and cold smile on his face.
He rubbed his wrist: "Who knows? Maybe your half-baked ability didn't last long enough? Or... maybe it's just trash?"
The tone was casual, yet it contained the utmost insult and provocation!
