Chapter 62 Naruto vs. Haku

Naruto came to Inari's room and saw Inari curled up in the corner, hugging a yellowed photo tightly. His small body was shaking, his eyes were empty and lifeless, his eye sockets were red and swollen, and tears were flowing freely on his face like a broken dam, but he seemed to be unaware. He pursed his lips tightly, his teeth were clattering, veins on his forehead were bulging, and the whole person was shrouded in a haze of despair and helplessness, exuding a heartbreaking atmosphere.

Naruto slowly walked to Inari's side, gently squatted down, put his hand gently on Inari's shoulder, and said in a gentle but firm tone: "Inari, I know you are in great pain now, but if you keep sinking in sadness like this, you will never become strong."

Inari turned away and shouted with tears in his eyes: "Why, why do you think you can defeat Cardo? No matter how many nice words you say, it's useless. In front of the real strong, the weak can only be ruthlessly defeated."

Naruto was not angry about this, and still said patiently: "Inari, I deeply understand the heart-wrenching pain of losing a loved one, and I understand the helplessness and pain of being unable to take revenge. For more than ten years, I have practiced hard day after day, and never stopped for a moment. It is because I am afraid that if I stop working hard one day, I will lose the loved ones I cherish around me. Inari, only the real weak will choose to escape. I am not afraid of losing, I am just afraid that after losing, I will no longer have the courage to stand up again. Inari, you are not the protagonist of the tragedy, and you should not escape all day long."

Naruto stared at Inari with a firm gaze and said solemnly: "Inari, you must believe that I can definitely help you deal with Kado!"

Inari looked at Naruto's sincere gaze, his body no longer shaking violently as before. He raised his head slightly, looked at Naruto with tearful eyes, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is it really okay?"

Naruto nodded heavily, his tone firm: "Of course! As long as you are willing!"

After hearing what Naruto said, Inari seemed to have caught a ray of light in the endless darkness. He slowly loosened his hands that were holding the photo and tightly grasped the hand that Naruto stretched out.

Looking at the revived Inari, Naruto handed him the grilled chicken. Inari looked at the grilled chicken in Naruto's hand with some surprise, hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

Naruto smiled and said, "Eat. Only when you are full will you have the strength to face future challenges."

Inari took a bite of the grilled chicken, tears of emotion flashing in his eyes, and he whispered: "Thank you, Naruto-nii."

The next morning, Naruto was alone in the deep forest. The sunlight shone through the dense branches and leaves, and sprinkled on him like fine golden sand. His eyes were focused and determined, as if he was looking for something.

At this moment, Naruto's senses were fully opened, and with the blessing of the natural body, he finally sensed a looming figure. Then, Naruto showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, and his body moved towards the figure as fast as lightning.

Bai, carrying a basket, carefully searched for herbs in the forest to heal Zabuza's wounds. At this moment, he seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly raised his head to look up at the branches, and looked up to see a yellow-blond boy.

When Naruto saw Bai's appearance clearly, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart: "What a pity, she has such a beautiful face, but she is a man."

Shiro stood up straight, staring straight at Naruto without any deviation, and said calmly, "I wonder if there is anything you can do for me?"

Naruto smiled faintly and responded, "It's nothing serious. I just wanted to test your strength."

Bai raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard Naruto's words, his tone still calm: "Test my strength? You better think it through."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto flashed and appeared in front of Bai in an instant. He had a sharp kunai in his hand and stabbed it straight at Bai. Bai reacted very quickly and dodged sideways. At the same time, a long thin needle appeared in his hand and he threw it at Naruto without hesitation.

Naruto did a beautiful backflip and narrowly avoided the long needle that was flying at him. The moment he landed, he exerted force on his feet and rushed towards Bai again. Bai was not to be outdone, and his hands formed seals as fast as the wind. In an instant, a gust of cold wind whistled up, and the temperature around him dropped sharply in an instant.

Naruto felt a piercing chill, but he did not retreat, instead he sped up his sprint. Just as he was about to approach Bai, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared in front of Bai - Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall. Naruto punched the ice wall without hesitation, and several cracks appeared on the ice wall instantly.

Bai was slightly startled, thinking to himself, I didn't expect Naruto's power to be so great. He then formed a seal again, and the ice wall instantly thickened, blocking Naruto out tightly.

Naruto looked at the thick ice wall in front of him, but a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He came here this time to try out Bai's ice escape bloodline limit.

Then, Naruto retreated more than a hundred meters and began to quickly form seals with his hands. Ice Release - One-horned White Whale. In an instant, a one-horned white whale several dozen meters long appeared in the air and slammed into the ice wall. With a loud "bang", the ice wall shattered, and the trees within a radius of several dozen meters also broke. Bai, who escaped, was in a state of confusion at the moment. This young man could actually use Ice Release.

Bai's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "How is this possible? How can you also escape through ice?"

Naruto replied with a smile: "It's not that difficult, just have fun with me."

At this time, Bai finally stopped holding back. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The cold air around him instantly became thicker, and countless sharp ice needles rushed out from the ground and stabbed towards Naruto.

Naruto saw this and quickly jumped away to avoid it. He formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Fire Style - Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball spewed out of his mouth and rushed towards the ice needles.

The ice needles collided with the fireball, making a "sizzling" sound, and instantly turned into balls of water vapor. Bai snorted coldly, and changed the seals with his hands again, and more ice needles attacked Naruto from different directions.

I saw a huge, thick earth wall rising from the ground, blocking all the densely packed ice needles. The ice needles hit the earth wall, making a crisp sound, and turned into broken ice and scattered all over the ground.

Bai's eyes became sharper when he saw this. He formed seals with both hands again, Ice Escape·Secret Technique·Magic Mirror Ice Crystal
