A hundred clones roared and charged forward, even No. 001 and Naruko joined the suicide squad.
"Die, die!" Raiga waved the Lightning Blades with a manic expression, five consecutive lightning whips lashing out at the clones.
More than forty Shadow Clones exploded into puffs of smoke amidst cheerful laughter.
The most outstanding among them was No. 001, who even struck a pose like Li Yuanba pointing his hammer and cursing the heavens before dying.
Naruko felt annoyed, she hadn't thought of such a simple trick!
Suddenly, Naruko had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Professor Yang, I want to go online!" before being electrocuted to death as well.
While the clones were happily offering their heads, Naruto turned to look at the emotionless clone beside him: "Why aren't you going?"
The unnamed clone said calmly, "I don't like being beaten to death, and you've never paid me a salary."
With that, the unnamed clone calmly dispelled itself.
Naruto was speechless, well, with so many clones, there's bound to be all sorts of personalities.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball! Hahahaha!" Raiga eliminated the last clone and laughed triumphantly, raising his head.
At his most unguarded moment, Kakashi burst out from underground, lightning flashing on his hand, piercing through Raiga's chest.
"Cough!" Raiga coughed up a large mouthful of blood, the lightning cloak flickering on his body disappeared, and he murmured, "Am I... going to die..."
Raiga suddenly raised his head, and with unknown strength, raised the twin blades again: "My funeral can't be this simple! Lightning Release: Lightning Burial!"
"Damn it!" Kakashi immediately pulled out his hand and turned to run, even opening the First Gate of the Eight Gates.
A few seconds later, a lightning pillar several meters thick tore through the night sky, engulfing Raiga.
The blinding light dissipated, Raiga fell to the ground, charred black, the two Lightning Blades scattered on either side.
This former member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist ended his life in such a magnificent way.
Naruto didn't feel the slightest bit of pity, a perverted murderer, his death was his death, he was more interested in those Lightning Blades.
Naruto cautiously poked the Lightning Blade on the ground with his finger, and said in surprise: "It's not hot at all?"
Kakashi pulled down his Forehead Protector and explained: "Of course, these twin blades are made of special materials, they are ninja swords born for lightning.
If they got hot just from being struck by lightning, how could they be used?"
Naruto picked them up and brandished them, shouting: "Two-Sword Style: Seventy-Two Calamity Winds!"
However, nothing happened, Sakura blinked and retorted: "How silly."
Naruto regretfully put away the twin blades and asked, "Then should this be handed over to the village?"
Kakashi replied: "This can be considered our team's spoils of war, but it's best to tell Minato-sensei."
"Oh, do you want to use them?"
"No need, it doesn't suit my fighting style," Kakashi said, "Sasuke might want to give it a try."
Naruto handed the swords to Sasuke: "Try them?"
Sasuke took the twin blades, having been very tempted after just seeing Raiga's performance.
The Lightning Blade, under suitable weather conditions, seemed capable of compensating for Naruto's inferior Chakra reserves.
As for how to use the Lightning Blade, Sasuke's Sharingan wasn't just for show.
Just now, Raiga had demonstrated almost all the Ninjutsu he knew regarding the Lightning Blade, from start to finish.
If he still couldn't learn it after that, he'd be doing a disservice to his Uchiha name; he might as well gouge out his eyes and give them to Naruto.
"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"
Sasuke imitated Raiga, crossing the dual blades, and attempted to release a simple Ninjutsu.
Watching the shattered rocks, Sasuke's lips curled up; this blade suited him quite well.
Naruto patted Sasuke's shoulder: "It's decided then, we can form a Konoha's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist later."
Sakura, who had finally managed to break free from Sasuke's charming smile, poured cold water on the idea: "We've only seen two ninja swords in total, how are we going to gather seven?"
Naruto waved his hand and said, "Isn't that simple? Have Kakashi-sensei take on five or six more C-Rank Missions, and we'll almost have enough."
Kakashi looked up at the sky, saying something he himself couldn't quite believe: "This really is just an accident..."
After the chat, Naruto created several Shadow Clones and packed up Raiga's corpse and the group of thugs from the mountain, bringing them back to the Curry of Life Restaurant's entrance.
As for Ranmaru, he was swept away by the water, and Naruto, despite having the minimap open, couldn't sense him. With his small size, it was likely he wouldn't survive.
Naruto silently apologized in his heart, Who told you to assist the wicked?
...
At this moment, the three clients were lying by the window, anxiously watching the direction of the mine.
They had heard the thunder from there just now, guessing that there was a battle, and now that the thunder had stopped, they were all silently praying for the Konoha ninja to win.
It wasn't until they saw Naruto and the others return safely that the three clients happily ran downstairs to greet them.
"About the Hakkaku Clan..."
Kakashi pointed to the mountain of people that Naruto's clones had mischievously arranged, and said, "Although it took some effort, they've all been taken care of."
The three people looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes, bowing deeply and solemnly saying, "We are eternally grateful!"
Kakashi waved his hand: "Alright, tell the villagers to come over tomorrow, and you can decide how to deal with them."
"Yes!"
Then, as soon as Naruto entered the door, he saw Sansho Granny's son with lips swollen like sausages, tearfully eating spoonful after spoonful of curry rice.
Naruto asked, "What happened here?"
Sansho Granny replied with a smile, "This is his punishment, 300x extra spicy Curry of Life."
"Gulp." Everyone swallowed their saliva in unison; this was truly his own mother.
And Xinzi, when he saw Naruto, looked as if he had seen a devil, eating the curry even faster, muttering incoherently as he ate:
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I will never do anything bad again, I will study hard to make curry, and then inherit Mom's Curry of Life Restaurant!"
Sansho Granny knocked him on the head with a spoon, scolding, "You're still far from it. Hurry up and finish eating, then come and learn the ingredients with me!"
"Yes!"
...
The next morning, the news of the Hakkaku Clan's defeat spread throughout the village.
The villagers gathered and thanked the four members of Team 7 once again.
As for the issue of the mission level being adjusted from C to A and the associated fees, the villagers stated that they had mines in their homes and would be able to gather the money quickly now that Raiga's oppression was gone.
After Naruto and the others left, Karako, following Sansho Granny's instructions, led the villagers to the clan's stronghold to help them retrieve their belongings. On the way, they found a dying child at the entrance of a warehouse.
The child was very weak, so Karako took him home and fed him a spoonful of the special Curry of Life that Guy and Rock Lee loved so much...
From then on, there was one more thin and small child in the Curry of Life Restaurant, learning how to make curry from Sansho Granny.
