The terrifying explosive force did not spread outward, but was precisely controlled to crush downward!
The first few combat golems didn't even have time to react.
In an instant, it was torn apart, squeezed, and completely pulverized by that violent rotating force!
It's not just about knocking them down or scattering them; it's about turning them into dust completely!
Not even slightly larger parts were left, let alone any recycling or remanufacturing!
The shockwave from the explosion knocked the luxurious furnishings in the room askew, and smoke and dust filled the air.
Orochimaru seemed to have anticipated this, retreating a step in advance and easily deflecting the flying debris with a wave of his wide sleeves.
He looked at the blond boy in the smoke and dust who was protecting Sarah, exuding a cold killing intent.
Instead of being annoyed, he let out his characteristic, sinister, hoarse laugh, his golden snake eyes filled with pleasure and anticipation.
"Oh my! It's been so long! Naruto-kun! You're still as impatient and hot-tempered as ever!"
As the smoke and dust cleared, Naruto's cold face was revealed.
In Sage Mode, his Yokoto eyes were fixed on Orochimaru, but he ignored the other's provocation.
The current situation is extremely unfavorable.
Being in the heart of the enemy's stronghold, with no idea of the enemy's true strength.
More importantly, there was Sarah by his side, who was on the verge of collapse and had no ability to protect herself.
It is definitely not the best option right now.
Without any hesitation, Naruto bent down and scooped up Sara, who was slumped on the ground with a vacant look in her eyes.
The movements, however, carried a subtle gentleness that was almost imperceptible.
"Flying Thunder God!"
With a flash of golden light, the two figures vanished from their spot in an instant.
Only a few strands of golden hair slowly drifting down and a broken window remain as proof that they once existed.
Orochimaru did not give chase; he simply stood there, watching the direction in which they disappeared.
The smile on his face widened, and he even stuck out his long tongue to lick the corner of his mouth:
"Run, run as fast as you can... Fear and despair are the sweetest catalysts."
"The real show is about to begin! Hehehe..."
The next moment, he slowly raised his hand and gave the command to the empty room: "Final program, start. Cleaning begins."
On the outskirts of Loulan City, in an abandoned warehouse filled with ancient building materials.
A flash of golden light, and Naruto appeared here carrying Sara. This was a Flying Thunder God coordinate point that he had secretly left behind, which was relatively safe.
He carefully placed Sarah on a pile of soft hay.
He crouched down and called out to her urgently, "Sarah! Sarah! It's alright, you're safe! Look at me!"
However, Sarah did not react. She curled up, hugging herself tightly with both hands.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, but unfocused, staring blankly into the void.
Her body was trembling slightly, and her lips were moving silently, as if she was still unable to extricate herself from the immense horror and subversive truth.
The tears had long since dried up, leaving only a numb despair.
Naruto felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and a strong sense of self-blame almost overwhelmed him.
It was him who, disregarding the consequences, brutally tore open the bloody truth for her to see;
It was he who destroyed all the beliefs and beautiful fantasies she relied on for survival.
Although Orochimaru was the real culprit, I was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.
“I’m sorry… Sarah… I’m sorry…” he whispered, his voice hoarse and pained.
He knew that words were so pale and powerless at this moment.
at this time--
"what--!!!"
A bloodcurdling scream suddenly came from afar outside the window, shattering the seemingly peaceful night sky of Loulan!
Naruto was startled and rushed to the dilapidated window of the warehouse, cautiously peering outside.
The sight before him made his blood almost freeze instantly!
Hell! A real living hell!
On the street, there were civilian puppets that originally performed tasks such as moving, cleaning, and lighting.
At this moment, his eyes were flashing with a chilling crimson light!
Their behavior pattern has completely changed, transforming them from gentle service providers into ruthless killing machines!
A puppet responsible for transporting the goods easily smashed a panicked Loulan resident into a pulp with its powerful mechanical arm!
A cleaning robot used its high-pressure nozzles to spray sharp, knife-like water blades, cutting through the fleeing crowd!
Even the lighting puppets that emitted a soft glow suddenly burst forth with blinding light and high-voltage current, indiscriminately attacking all living things within their range!
Screams, cries for help, the hum of machinery, and the horrific sounds of flesh being torn apart and buildings being destroyed...
In an instant, they intertwined and converged into a symphony of destruction, filling the entire city of Loulan!
The prosperous city of miracles was transformed into a cold, mechanical slaughterhouse in just a few minutes!
Naruto's gaze suddenly turned to the highest point of the palace in the distance.
There, a figure coldly looked down at the tragedy—it was the Loulan Queen, who had been resurrected through impure means.
Her face was expressionless, like a real puppet.
However, at the edge of those dark, empty eye sockets, a single, crystal-clear tear slipped uncontrollably down.
A wet streak was left on her cracked cheek.
Is it the lingering maternal consciousness that is crying out in anguish?
Or is it an instinctive reaction of the impure body?
But Naruto no longer had time to think about these things!
"Damn Orochimaru!!!"
Endless rage instantly consumed his self-blame and sorrow, and golden chakra erupted from Naruto's body like flames!
He suddenly took a few steps back, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp and determined!
"Shadow Clone Technique!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
An unprecedented amount of chakra was mobilized, and white smoke instantly filled the entire warehouse like an explosion, even pouring out of the windows!
Within the smoke, countless Naruto figures, each burning with golden chakra and bearing expressions of anger and determination, appeared!
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand... the number skyrocketed until it reached an astonishing figure—
More than five thousand shadow clones!
This is almost the limit that Naruto can withstand under normal circumstances!
All the shadow clones turned their gazes toward the main body at the window.
Naruto's true form pointed out the window at the hellish scene on earth.
His voice trembled with anger, yet it was filled with undeniable power and determination; he roared out only a few words:
"Brothers! Let's go save them!!"
There are no extra instructions, and no complicated plans are needed.
"oh!!!"
More than five thousand shadow clones roared in unison.
Like a golden torrent bursting its banks, it instantly smashed through the warehouse walls, windows, and roof, transforming into countless golden flashes.
At an astonishing speed, they rushed headlong into every direction of Loulan City, into every street, and into every place where screams were heard!
At this moment, the golden light of hope crashed headlong into the cold, scarlet wave of destruction!
The rescue operation has begun!
Chapter 319 Fight for everything you cherish!
Inside the warehouse, Sarah was still curled up on the haystack.
The sounds of screams, explosions, and collapsing buildings could be heard from the outside.
Like a cold tide, it kept crashing against her already fragile nerves.
Each sound made her body tremble violently, and the emptiness and despair in her eyes deepened.
Naruto stood by the window with his eyes closed.
His face looked extremely pale.
This is not due to the consumption of chakra.
Rather, it was because each of the shadow clones sent to provide rescue outside was shattered and destroyed by those berserk mechanical puppets.
The brief pain and the despairing scene he saw at the end would instantly be reflected back into his body.
Through thousands of eyes, he witnessed firsthand the hellish scene:
The familiar streets were stained blood red.
The cold metal mercilessly tore through flesh and blood.
The elderly, children, men, women...
The faces that once radiated happiness are now filled with extreme fear and pain.
