Chapter 133
Although Naruto felt that something was off about Rosinante, the sparring match had already begun. There was no time for second-guessing—he simply had to find his opponent's weakness and break it.
After dodging Sasuke's ranged attack, Naruto swiftly formed hand seals, creating two clones beside him.
The real Naruto dashed forward, his right hand reaching behind him, while the two clones followed closely, their hands continuously rubbing his palm. Gradually, a blue sphere of swirling energy condensed in his hand—the Rasengan.
Naruto's plan was simple: get rid of Rosinante first, then focus on a one-on-one fight with Sasuke.
On the side, Sasuke wasn't idle either. Although he didn't understand why Naruto was targeting Rosinante first, he decided to follow Naruto's lead. Taking down an extra opponent quickly was always a good strategy.
"Oh, that guy's surrounded. He's in trouble," Tsunade commented, leaning back with an amused smirk. Watching the fight was surprisingly entertaining—perhaps it was just human nature to enjoy a good spectacle.
Jiraiya, however, wasn't as relaxed. He didn't hold much hope for Rosinante. If Zixu were the one fighting, there might still be a chance for an upset. But Rosinante? Jiraiya couldn't sense any particularly threatening aura from him.
"Naruto shouldn't have too much trouble," Jiraiya muttered.
But Zixu smiled faintly, unfazed.
"Hmm, too bad..." he said casually. "It's time to show them the power of Silence."
The Rasengan in Naruto's hand rapidly expanded as he closed in on Rosinante. What started as the size of a basketball soon swelled into a massive orb, large enough to rival a truck. The swirling energy was a terrifying sight, akin to a Spirit Bomb in its sheer scale.
