"Ugh—!"
Naruto felt as if his head had been smashed by an invisible giant hammer!
Indescribable pain!
The terrifying high-frequency shockwaves ignored all his defenses.
Like countless red-hot steel needles, they pierced his ears fiercely and frantically, going straight to the depths of his brain!
The world before my eyes instantly lost all its color.
All that remained was a blinding, frantic flashing white light, and the field of vision was like shattered glass, filled with interwoven black and red cracks.
Then, all the sounds—the wind, the rustling of leaves, the enemy's triumphant grin, and even the pounding of one's own heart.
In an instant, it was completely replaced by an extremely sharp tinnitus that seemed to pierce through the entire skull!
Then, the sharp tinnitus quickly faded and became blurred, eventually fading into a deathly, suffocating vacuum.
A warm liquid, carrying a strong, metallic smell, gushed uncontrollably from his ears and trickled down his neck.
The world fell completely silent.
Deadly quiet.
Naruto staggered, as if drunk, his vision shifting violently between fragmented white light and surging darkness.
He barely managed to cover his throbbing left ear with one hand, his fingers stained with thick, warm blood.
His other hand was flailing wildly, trying to grab onto something for support.
My body was in turmoil, and my internal organs seemed to have been turned into a mess by the invisible shockwaves. A strong urge to vomit rushed to my throat.
"Hahaha! How does it feel to be deaf?"
Zaku's maniacal laughter was meaningless in Naruto's lifeless world, but he could see the other's lips twisted with smugness.
Jin also let out a sharp laugh, and the cold light of a thousand pens flashed between his fingers once again.
Tosu's single exposed eye coldly stared at the swaying Naruto, as if looking at a dying insect struggling on an experimental table.
He did not launch another attack, but instead attacked slowly, with a playful, cat-and-mouse-like manner.
He raised his deadly right arm again, and the metal nozzle on the device was once again aimed at Naruto.
Deadly danger signals screamed wildly in Naruto's completely deaf, dizzy, and confused brain!
Despite not being able to hear any sound, the chilling killing intent made the body instinctively scream: Get out of the way!
Naruto bit his tongue hard, the sharp pain bringing a brief moment of clarity.
He used all the strength he had left to suddenly and awkwardly fall to the right!
Just as his body left the spot—
The device on Tos's arm erupted once again with that silent, terrifying shockwave!
The ground where Naruto had just stood, along with the thick, intertwined tree roots below, looked as if it had been violently kneaded and torn apart by an invisible giant hand!
The hard soil and wood fibers were instantly shattered into countless tiny fragments and powder, silently blasting an ugly crater upwards!
Splinters of wood and dirt rained down like a storm, slamming onto Naruto's body as he collapsed.
Immediately afterwards, Sak's Sky-Slicing Wave and the Golden Poisoned Thousand Needles attacked again!
Naruto could only rely on his blurry vision and the remaining instincts of danger in his body to roll and jump in the narrow open space.
They dodged the deadly, invisible wind blades and the ever-present, chilling stars.
Every dodge was a mess, and every movement brought a tearing pain to my ears.
Sweat, blood, and dirt mingled together, sticking his golden hair into clumps that smeared onto his face and forehead.
The chakra became sluggish and difficult to flow due to the panic and excruciating pain. The Shadow Clone Technique failed repeatedly, and the few clones that were summoned were instantly dispersed by the sound waves or torn apart by the air-cutting wave.
'I can't hear anything! I can't hear anything at all!'
Naruto screamed wildly in his mind, a huge panic like an icy tide, almost completely engulfing him.
Hearing has always been his sense of interaction with the environment, and now that he has lost his hearing, a sense of discomfort fills his whole body.
My vision remained blurry, and the dizziness intensified with each passing wave.
The silent shockwaves from Tos were like the scythe of death, each swing bringing him to the brink of danger.
Sak's Sky-Slicing Wave and the Golden Thousand Books blocked all his possible escape routes.
He felt like an insect trapped in a glass jar, and his enemies were the mischievous children outside who were banging on the jar walls and enjoying his death throes.
Just as he rolled away again in a disheveled manner, dodging a wind blade that grazed his back.
When his body lost its balance and crashed heavily into the trunk of a large tree, the excruciating pain made his vision go black.
He leaned against the rough, cold bark of the tree, panting heavily, each breath causing a tearing pain in his ears.
Despair, like cold vines, began to entwine his heart.
Just then, Madara spoke from inside the sealed space: "Naruto, don't panic if you can't hear me. Use your chakra to sense it. Minato should have taught you how to do that."
It was Dad! The voice was like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the chaos and despair in Naruto's mind.
Almost simultaneously, that gentle voice rang out: "Naruto, think of yourself as a launch tower, release your chakra in the form of waves, and you will be able to detect the chakra reactions around you."
"You don't need to despair, we will always be with you."
The last voice was that of the Nine-Tailed Uncle!
The three distinct voices represent three distinct forces and wills.
Like three torrents, they converged violently as Naruto was on the verge of collapse!
It quickly dispelled Naruto's fear.
Naruto wiped the dirt and blood off his face, and his expression instantly relaxed.
Soon, Zaku and his group found Naruto hiding.
However, before the three could even mock Naruto, he made a move that stunned all his enemies.
Naruto closed his eyes.
This means that Naruto's world has fallen into absolute darkness and silence.
Visual, off.
Hearing, shut down.
My sense of smell was overwhelmed by the strong smell of blood and earth.
All that remained of my sense of touch was the excruciating pain of my ears being torn apart and the dull ache of my body being struck.
The taste was a strong metallic, rusty flavor.
He forcibly cut off all external sensory channels!
However, it is precisely within this absolute deprivation of the senses.
A completely new and mysterious "vision" suddenly unfolded in his dark world of consciousness, like ink spreading on rice paper!
That's the world of chakra!
Chapter 72 marks the start of the counterattack, the brutal mode.
Behind him, deep within the tree hollow, two incredibly familiar and warm chakra points of light, like campfires in the night, clearly illuminated his dark "vision".
A faint figure, like a candle flickering in the wind, carrying the unique coldness and corrosiveness of a cursed seal, was Sasuke in a coma.
The other, though bright, was filled with violent fluctuations of panic, worry, and helplessness, like a small candle flame being battered by a storm – that was Sakura.
In front of him were three cold, twisted chakra sources, radiating intense malice and killing intent.
Like three black boulders thrown into a dark pool, they stirred up nauseating ripples!
Tos's chakra core vibrated violently and at a high frequency on the right arm of his covering device.
Like a constantly compressing and bursting black energy vortex, each oscillation exudes a bone-chilling cold and destructive power, a prelude to launching another sonic tremor!
Zak's chakra was frantically condensing and compressing in the wind tunnel devices on the outside of his arms.
It presents a sharp, bluish-gray unstable form, like two poisoned daggers about to be thrown, which is the signal that the Sky-Slicing Wave is about to be unleashed!
Gold's chakra condensed into tiny, flickering, eerie green dots on the senbon needles between her fingers.
Like the fangs of a venomous snake, with a chilling penetrating power, it was silently locking onto his vital points!
No sound, no image, only the pure flow of energy! Their condensation, eruption, and direction...
Everything is clearly visible in this world of "Mind's Eye" made of chakra!
A hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in Tos's single eye.
The blond-haired kid in front of them, cornered and in a sorry state, covered his ears and closed his eyes.
The aura emanating from him... has changed!
It was no longer the anger and panic of before, but a... cold, unsettling deathly silence!
The hum of the device on his arm seemed to pause for a moment.
Sack and King also noticed something was wrong, and the cruel smiles on their faces froze slightly.
Just as the two bluish-gray "daggers" on Sack's arms were fully revealed...
His eyes remained closed, but his body moved like a golden lightning bolt tearing through the darkness.
Without warning, and with speed and precision far exceeding anything before, he suddenly shifted to the left! The movement was swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation!
Almost at the same instant his body left the spot—
The terrifying shockwave from the Tos arm device silently swept over the tree he had just been leaning against!
The thick tree trunk emitted a tooth-grinding groan, and the bark and wood were instantly shattered and peeled off, leaving a huge crater, as if it had been gnawed by a giant beast!
Sak's Sky-Slashing Wave and the Golden Poisoned Thousand Needles both missed their targets!
A violent air blade and a chilling green light grazed the edge of Naruto's rapidly moving afterimage.
