Chapter 554 - Chapter 554 Yamato, I'm Counting on You

"Time to stop them."

Takumi split into two clones, and then, with a flicker, all three Takumi disappeared simultaneously from the spot.

"Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Golden chains tightly wrapped around Naruto. At this moment, there was no reason left on Naruto's face; he was like a raging beast, his expression extremely ferocious and terrifying.

But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from the bonds on his body.

"This is troublesome."

Takumi's original body scratched his head. Just sealing Naruto's movements was useless; he needed to get him back to normal.

This was where Wood Release was needed.

But he didn't know Wood Release yet. Currently, the only one in Konoha who mastered Wood Release was Yamato.

However, this situation would certainly soon reach Hiruzen's ears. If they held on a little longer, Yamato should appear.

Stopping the other two was much easier.

One clone directly appeared beside Deidara, which was enough to make him cease any aggressive behavior.

As for Sasuke, a single punch exploding his Susano'o naturally made him stop as well.

The originally fierce battle instantly calmed down.

"As expected of Takumi."

Shikamaru sighed.

He looked around and found the other companions already dumbfounded.

'Haven't these guys gotten used to it yet?'

But Takumi's strength was truly very strong; it was normal not to be used to it.

After all, Takumi was just too abnormal.

At Takumi's age, to display such powerful strength,

Shikamaru even had to wonder if Hiruzen was even a match for Takumi.

"Takumi-senpai!"

Deidara was a bit dissatisfied, but since it was his most respected senpai, and the person who shared the same artistic sense, who stopped him,

He restrained his dissatisfaction towards Sasuke and stopped.

"Your clay should be running low, right? Continuing the fight would be disadvantageous for you."

Takumi's clone said. "Regarding your abilities, I have some suggestions to discuss later, but we'll talk after this matter is settled."

"Really?"

If anyone else had said this, Deidara would have definitely smeared a clay bomb right in their face.

But the speaker was Takumi, the person Deidara acknowledged as superior in the art of explosion.

He was naturally very delighted.

"Tch!"

Sasuke curled his lip, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

He had seen Takumi's punch clearly.

But seeing it so clearly, he understood the gap between himself and Takumi was just too immense.

Takumi hadn't even used Susano'o, yet he had blown up his Susano'o.

It's just too overpowered.

Forced to stop, Sasuke had no intention of continuing the fight.

Moreover, his stamina was running low.

After all, he had been training on the training ground before and had already expended a lot of his Pupil Power.

Otherwise, he would have used Amaterasu just now.

If not for conserving Pupil Power, this fight might have already been decided.

The training ground fell silent.

Only the crazed Naruto kept roaring, trying to struggle free from the seal.

Seeing the fighting had subsided, everyone jumped down from the trees.

Shikamaru and the others gathered around, looking worriedly at Naruto.

These people were all of Naruto's friends in Konoha.

"What's wrong with Naruto?"

Sakura spoke first, after all, Naruto was her teammate.

The others also looked at Takumi, wanting an answer.

"This involves a secret. I can't say for now."

Takumi didn't answer directly.

The fact that Naruto was a Jinchuriki was still a secret in the village.

This was also a way to protect Naruto, at least so that no one would covet the power of the Tailed Beast and cause trouble for Naruto.

Although smart people like Shikamaru, Shino, and Neji had already guessed some things,

More people who didn't know the situation still looked confused.

But since Takumi said so, they couldn't press further.

"If anyone wants to continue sparring, you can try the training ground now."

Takumi said with a smile.

Everyone looked at the pockmarked ground covered in battle scars and were momentarily speechless.

This place would probably be unusable for a while.

At least until it was repaired, it was impossible.

"It seems today's post-meal activity ends here."

Seeing no one wanted to move, Takumi said with a smile.

Just then, several figures appeared.

They were Kakashi, Guy, and Yamato.

"What's going on? How did Naruto become like this?"

Seeing Naruto's condition, Kakashi immediately asked worriedly.

"The guy inside him temporarily lost control."

Takumi leaned close to Kakashi's ear and whispered, "Although I've controlled his movements, continuing like this will be very detrimental to his mental state."

"I'll handle this, Takumi-dono."

Yamato approached and said, "This is also my mission."

Takumi looked at Yamato and nodded. "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Leave it to me."

Yamato nodded, then clasped his hands together. "Wood Release!"

"Ohh—"

Everyone watched Yamato perform Wood Release in amazement, looking at him with curiosity.

Everyone in Konoha knew that Wood Release was the unique Ninjutsu of the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama.

Up until now, no one else in the Shinobi World was said to possess Wood Release.

They didn't expect to see the long-lost Wood Release here; it truly amazed and curious them.

But they also knew this wasn't the time to ask questions, so they just secretly noted Yamato's appearance and remembered him.

With Yamato's help, Naruto's mind was quickly calmed.

The Chakra Cloak on his body also withdrew into his body, and he became calm.

However, having expended too much power, he was still unable to wake up.

"That's it for today. I'll take Naruto back. Everyone, dismissed."

Takumi supported Naruto and said to the other young Shinobi.

Although they had many questions to ask, they obediently left and didn't pester Yamato with questions.

"..."

Yamato couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead.

His level was vastly different from Hashirama's. Having finally calmed Naruto down had already consumed a lot of his Chakra.

Fortunately, with Takumi there, he didn't have to deal with the pursuing questions from these curious kids.

"I'll take Naruto back."

Kakashi hoisted Naruto from Takumi's hands. "You can entertain this guest, Takumi."

He gestured with his eyes towards Deidara.

At the same time, it conveyed Hiruzen's attitude.

Deidara was a guest.

This would reduce a lot of trouble.

But there would also be many other troubles.

For example, not letting Shinobi from the Land of Earth see Deidara, otherwise that old man Onoki would certainly send people to demand an explanation.

Regarding this, Takumi was very much looking forward to it.

After all, there weren't many people Onoki could send; it would more likely be someone he knew.

If they wanted an explanation, he could completely handle it.

He was confident he could give a perfect explanation.

Besides the troubles possibly brought by other great nations, there was also the trouble within Konoha itself.

For example, Danzo from Root.

Upon hearing the news, he would certainly go to Hiruzen to demand the person.

In fact, Danzo was already at Hiruzen's place now.

"Give him to me, Hiruzen. I'll extract everything he knows."

Danzo pressed relentlessly. "Only I can do this!"
