Chapter 599 - 5

Chapter 5: I'm Just a Child! I Really Didn't Mean It~Everyone looked toward the source of the voice and saw two elderly men standing side by side on the edge of the high platform.Their simple, traditional kimonos made them look all the more imposing; they were none other than the veteran figures of Konoha.They were the Konoha Advisor Elders who usually kept to themselves: Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu.Homura Mitokado's gaze was like a torch, landing directly on Naruto, his tone devoid of any ripple:"Sandaime, handling this matter in such a way is likely inappropriate."He paused, his words resonating with weight, "Although A-Gang was at fault first, Naruto went too far. If he is not severely punished, it will be difficult to convince the masses and uphold the discipline of Konoha.""How about this… Naruto shall leave behind an arm as a warning, and to give the injured party an explanation!"As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd was in an uproar!The smile on Naruto's face froze instantly, and his heart skipped a beat—good grief, are they asking to chop off an arm directly?And the Resentment Value panel before his eyes exploded almost instantly:[Resentment Value from onlookers: 10086+]The total number soared crazily, and in the blink of an eye, it was about to break through 400,000!Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply, stepped forward to block in front of Naruto, and said in a deep voice:"Two Advisors, Naruto was acting in self-defense, why be so harsh? The punishment of severing a limb is far too severe!""Hiruzen Sarutobi, are you trying to protect this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?" Utatane Koharu snorted coldly."It is precisely because his status is special that he must be strictly constrained! If we indulge him today, who will take responsibility if he hurts innocent people another day?"Danzo added from the side with a sinister tone: "The Advisors are absolutely right; before the rules, everyone is equal."[Resentment Value from Danzo: 888+]"Why did it drop?"Naruto glanced at Danzo's smug appearance, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears, and muttered to himself, "Did that really make you happy, you punk?"Looking at the Resentment Value on the panel again, the growth rate had obviously slowed down; it had just broken through the 400,000 mark but lost its previous frenzy."No way? You all think the punishment is right, and you're all enjoying it? That won't do!"Naruto's eyes sharpened, and he made a prompt decision—with 400,000 Resentment Points in hand, if not draw now, when?"Start the draw!"[Super Invincible Lucky 40-Draw Activated...]Golden light flashed rapidly across the panel, and a series of prompts popped up:[Congratulations on obtaining: Trace Chakrax31]The anticipation on Naruto's face froze instantly, and he cursed internally:Damn it! Thirty-one Trace Chakra in forty draws? How is this any different from getting nothing!His heart sank, and just as he was about to complain about the crappy odds, the subsequent prompts suddenly perked him up:[Congratulations on obtaining: Moderate Chakrax6][Congratulations on obtaining: Skill Point x3!][Congratulations to the host for accumulating a consumption of 500,000 Resentment Points; new prizes have been added~ Please explore for yourself~]"Skill Point!"Naruto's eyes lit up instantly—the amount of Chakra didn't matter, these Skill Points were hard currency that could upgrade abilities!Naruto didn't hesitate for a second; he tapped his fingertip on the virtual panel, and all three Skill Points were instantly dumped into "Fire Fist"![Fire Fist skill upgrade successful! Current level: Level 4! Skill effect: Under the same Chakraconsumption, can consecutively burst out four heavy flame punches!]As soon as the prompt sound finished, a surge of scorching Chakra flowed along his meridians toward his fists.The Elders on the high platform saw he hadn't spoken for a long time, and their expressions grew increasingly gloomy: "What? You are unwilling?"A smile curled at the corner of Naruto's mouth as he slowly raised his hand:"Unwilling? I just think that if you want me to leave behind an arm, I'm afraid you don't have the ability."As soon as these words left Naruto's mouth, the entire scene fell into a deathly silence again, as if even the wind had stopped for an instant.Danzo was stunned at first, then let out a sinister laugh:"You arrogant brat, such big talk! Do you intend to defy the two Advisors and the rules of Konoha?"[Resentment Value from Danzo: 1111+]The Resentment Value panel jumped again; evidently, it was even more displeased by these "arrogant" words.Homura Mitokado on the high platform was livid, and Utatane Koharu slammed her hand on the railing:"How insolent! A mere Jinchuriki dares to speak such wild words!"[Resentment Value from Homura Mitokado and Utatane Koharu: 999+]A flash of ruthlessness appeared in Danzo's eyes. His palm instantly condensed wind-attribute Chakra, turning into an invisible blade gleaming with a cold light, and slashed directly at Naruto's right arm!Seeing that Naruto not only didn't dodge or hide but instead stepped forward to meet him, Danzoimmediately sneered:"Arrogant brat, today I will let you taste the pain of a severed arm!"Before the words had even finished, the wind blade whistled past.Taking advantage of Naruto's momentum in actively meeting the strike, the sharp Chakra blade actually severed his right arm in an instant.The dull thud of the severed arm hitting the ground left the entire scene instantly silent.Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils shrank, his face full of panic, but the expected scene of blood and gore did not appear.Instead, raging flames ignited at Naruto's severed limb, completely enveloping the wound!"Hehe..."( ಡ ω ಡ )A sly smile curled at the corner of Naruto's mouth, and he immediately grabbed his still-burning severed arm.He instantly switched to a dying appearance, rolling on the ground and wailing:"Grandpa, it hurts! The fire… the fire is going out of control!"While he was wailing, the flames at his severed limb suddenly surged.Four scorching Fire Fist, each about a meter in diameter, burst forth suddenly, carrying a piercing sonic boom as they smashed directly toward Danzo, who was close at hand!The distance was too close; Danzo couldn't dodge in time and took these four consecutive punches head-on. He let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward, his chest instantly scorched black.Before the smoke could dissipate, an even more shocking scene appeared!From Naruto's severed limb, Fire Fist were continuously spewing out like a machine gun!In just a few blinks of an eye, dozens of them were densely floating in the sky, and the number was still increasing crazily."Is this… the Nine-Tailed out of control?"Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned deeply, his face full of confusion, "No! I don't feel any Tailed Beast Chakrafluctuations at all!"Naruto glanced out of the corner of his eye at the confused Sandaime..."You old geezer, I'll gift you a couple of punches too!"Those Fire Fist seemed to have built-in targeting; more than half precisely locked onto Danzo's position, while the rest were distributed evenly among every Jonin present.Kakashi, Might Guy, Asuma, and the others were all within the attack range, while the villagers who had no ability to resist were cleverly avoided, with none of them being affected.Danzo had just climbed up from the ground when he was hit by several more Fire Fist, his teeth baring in pain, his eyes full of shock and venom.[Resentment Value from Danzo: 5000+]Kakashi hurriedly raised his hands to form seals, using Chidori to split the oncoming Fire Fist, his eyes beneath the mask full of inquiry;Might Guy excitedly shouted "A collision of youth!" and used taijutsu to meet them head-on; his fists collided with the Fire Fist, erupting in bursts of roars.Naruto lay on the ground, wailing "painfully" while secretly peeking at the crazily rising Resentment Value on the panel.[Resentment Value from Danzo: 6666+][Resentment Value from Asuma: 1888+][Resentment Value from Kakashi: 2333+][Resentment Value from...]The total number instantly broke through the 500,000 mark again!"I've made a fortune!" Naruto was overjoyed internally, but he shouted even more fiercely:"Stop it quickly! I really can't control it anymore
