Chapter 70. The Deathmarch

Uzumaki Training Ground

Forested Outskirts of Boston, Massachusetts

The echoes of clashing energy and thunderous impacts reverberated through the dense forest, filling the arena with tension. Naruto, in his Sannin Mode, stood poised and focused, his golden aura flaring around him. Across from him, Valiana in her Balance Breaker hovered midair, her icy-white armor radiating a chilling brilliance.

Naruto smirked as he formed a familiar hand seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!"

In an instant, twenty identical clones materialized around him, their stances ready for combat.

Valiana narrowed her eyes, her analytical mind working overtime. "He can clone himself too? Interesting... No wonder hubby warned me about him. But why does he always say that Senjutsu users are our worst matchups?"

The deep, ancient voice of Albion rumbled in her mind. "Senjutsu is a dangerous power, especially when wielded by someone as experienced as him. Only a handful of beings, like that monkey Enma, can harness its full potential. This human... is exceptional. We need to tread carefully."

Naruto's confident voice interrupted her thoughts. "Are you ready, Valiana-chan? Let's give it our all!" He pulled a set of Hiraishin kunai from his pouch, twirling them deftly in his fingers.

Valiana grinned, a competitive spark lighting up her crimson eyes. "Bring it on, Naruto! And don't you dare hold back!"

Naruto's smirk widened. "As you wish."

With a flick of his wrist, he scattered the kunai across the battlefield, embedding them in trees, rocks, and the ground. Then, his hands blurred through a rapid sequence of seals.

Valiana frowned. "What's he planning with those kunai?"

Naruto's voice boomed across the field. "Requiem of the God of Thunder!"

Suddenly, the air around her crackled with electricity as Naruto and his clones began teleporting in rapid succession. Each flicker of movement was accompanied by the ominous hum of gathering lightning energy.

"Lightning Style: Chou Odama Rasengan Barrage!"

A symphony of giant, spinning lightning-infused Rasengan orbs came hurtling toward Valiana from all directions. The sheer intensity of the attack sent shockwaves rippling through the ground, uprooting trees and shaking the arena.

Valiana's eyes widened as she hastily conjured a glowing magical barrier around herself. The Rasengan strikes battered her shield relentlessly, cracks spreading across its surface like spiderwebs.

"Damn it! I was careless... Think, Valiana! You can't let yourself look weak in front of your family!"

As the barrier began to buckle, she stomped her foot down hard, releasing a burst of energy that propelled her into the air. She soared above the fray, taking a moment to catch her breath.

Albion's voice growled in her mind. "Valiana! Watch those kunai-he's using them to teleport. He can attack you from any angle!"

Her eyes darted across the battlefield, noting the scattered kunai. "So, that's his game... And his clones can teleport too. What a troublesome opponent."

The Dragon of Supremacy's tone turned serious. "You can't afford to stay grounded. He's controlling the battlefield. What's your next move, Partner?"

Valiana clenched her fists, her mind racing. "I can't let him dictate the fight... I'll need to force him to adapt to my pace."
