Naruto, having dodged the fist again, saw Ido slowly getting up. Without a second thought, he delivered a roundhouse kick to its neck.

With the leg weights removed, Naruto's full-power kick packed at least 5000 jin of force. What was the concept of 5000 jin of force?

Upon Naruto's kick, the heavens and earth changed color. Even space itself couldn't withstand this immense force, and ripples appeared. As the ripples spread, the world underwent a dramatic transformation: the floor turned to dust, and after the walls crumbled, they revealed a galaxy behind them, like the Milky Way.

Honestly, Naruto himself was stunned for a moment. Did I just kick out a world with one foot?

"You..." Ido, bracing against Naruto's leg, slowly rose. It had been out for some time now, and its strength had recovered to its peak.

So, it's VR, huh.

The illusion technique controlling the five senses was too powerful, so realistic it was hard to believe it was fake.

His thoughts now clear, Naruto delivered another roundhouse kick to Ido's neck, interrupting its speech.

We're fighting, stop blabbering.

Ido didn't fall, merely bent at the waist from the kick, and once again straightened up against Naruto's roundhouse kick.

Its elbow reversed, stabbing towards Naruto's calf.

Naruto retracted his calf, thrust his knee forward, and struck Ido's chest.

This time, only Naruto's pant leg was torn; a small victory.

Two minutes later...

The two were still engaged in close combat, a purely taijutsu battle of extreme brilliance. Naruto's various spontaneous counters and Ido's joint-ignoring, awkwardly angled attacks kept the three spectators—especially Sasuke, whose Sharingan didn't even blink as he watched most intently—riveted.

Naruto was thoroughly enjoying the fight. This was the first time he had encountered an opponent of roughly equal strength.

Previously, opponents were either too strong and unbeatable, or too weak and defeated in a single blow. The only one close in strength was his own brother-in-law, and he couldn't use lethal force against him.

Twenty minutes later...

Naruto, leaping to dodge an attack, did an aerial split to avoid an incoming illusionary vine.

After landing, he gestured to stop Sasuke, who had just finished applying eye drops and was about to step in to help.

It was rare to find an opponent close to his own strength, perfect for practice. He couldn't let Sasuke interrupt.

Moreover, Naruto discovered that Ido was incredibly resilient. If Naruto himself had a long health bar, then Ido had no health bar at all.

He had slashed its neck with the Kusanagi Sword, but it had no real effect.

This also fit the profile of a monster – immune to physical attacks.

No health bar is fine, but do you have enough blue bar? Maintaining this illusion requires chakra.

Even the Nine-Tails didn't have infinite chakra. Naruto didn't believe this monster had more chakra than the Nine-Tails.

Ducking under a vine, Naruto began his next round of attacks.

I can fight like this for a day. What about you, Ido?

Kurama Yakumo had already recovered and was now watching Naruto with envy. This person's physique was simply too good; even after fighting for so long, he seemed completely unfazed.

Kurenai Yuhi was also very surprised. Is this kid even human?

A high-intensity taijutsu duel, and he hadn't even panted heavily after all this time.

She had previously seen Naruto and Hinata spar for forty minutes, but that day was just a couple playing around, completely different from now.

One hour...

Naruto was panting slightly. Fighting for an hour had consumed a considerable amount of stamina.

Inside the seal space, the Nine-Tails lifted the tip of its tail, reminding Naruto that he was under an illusion.

When people get fat, they don't like to move. It's the same for fat foxes, especially after watching this battle, which it found utterly boring.

Please, let me out! I'll kill it with one Tailed Beast Bomb!

This was probably the Nine-Tails' mood.

Naruto took out a kunai and stabbed his palm, dispelling the illusion.

The distant galaxy had dimmed; evidently, Ido's consumption was also significant.

The fighters weren't tired, but the spectators were tired of watching.

The three spectators were already numb. Sasuke had also deactivated his Sharingan.

Activating the Sharingan also required ocular power. He had deactivated it a while ago and was recovering.

Before his ocular power fully recovered, Sasuke activated his Sharingan again because Naruto had changed his moves. This was a move he hadn't seen before.

He couldn't see it clearly without the Sharingan.

Having familiarized himself with Ido's attack patterns, and sensing that Ido was weaker than before, Naruto began to use it to practice his skills.

Kallen Kaslana's Gun Kata.

Nowadays, skill names were just made up randomly and had no relation to their content, just like assassins who rush into crowds and go on a rampage. The Kaslana family clearly understood this principle: using a gun to kick people until they died, this was called Gun Kata.

An unknown amount of time later...

Kicking Ido away again, Naruto took a deep breath. "Can you still dance?"

The distant galaxy had vanished. Ido no longer had the strength to maintain it; the consumption from fighting for so long was too great.

It had wanted to stop fighting long ago, but this blondie opposite just wouldn't let it leave. Every time it cast an illusion to escape, it would be instantly dispelled, and then he would come back for another round of relentless pestering.

Ido knew people called it a monster, but now it just wanted to ask that blondie opposite, who exactly was the monster between them? After fighting for so long, you still have stamina?

Kurenai also wanted to ask this question. All the stories she had heard since childhood about defeating monsters involved someone using some move to slay a monster in one go. This was the first time she had seen someone nearly exhaust a monster to death. Who exactly is the monster between you two?

Unable to contain its rage, Ido roared, "This is my space!!"

The ultimate move it had been accumulating since it first thought of retreating was unleashed. In an instant, the entire space was filled with wildly dancing vines, and even the three spectators couldn't escape.

Drawing the Kusanagi Sword and taking out a mithril sword from his storage, Naruto, dual-wielding, cut through the vines while charging at Ido.

"Don't even think about stopping me!" Ido controlled dozens of vines to surround Naruto and ran towards Kurama Yakumo.

"Whirlwind Dance!"

After spinning and cutting through the vines, Naruto finally caught up to Ido. Both swords struck simultaneously: the mithril sword pierced its abdomen, and the Kusanagi Sword slit its throat.

However, these attacks had little effect and healed in the blink of an eye.

Withdrawing the mithril sword to block Ido's incoming claws, Naruto kicked it over. As it was getting up, Naruto took two large strides and got behind it.

He locked its arms behind its back, pressed it down with his chest, used his legs to secure its joints, put it in a chokehold with one arm, and grabbed its horn-like ear with the other hand.

This thing was truly uncontrollable unless all its joints were disabled; even its head could turn arbitrarily.

"Kurenai-sensei, can you seal it?"

Naruto didn't ask Sasuke because he didn't know if Sasuke knew sealing techniques.

Although in the original story, Sasuke reverse-engineered the Five Elements Seal copied from Kakashi to release Orochimaru, Sasuke's sealing process now was different from the original. Who knew if he had copied it or not?

Besides, Sasuke being able to use the Five Elements Unseal in the original was an insult to the audience's intelligence, wasn't it?

Come on, Kishimoto, come out and explain how Sasuke copied Kakashi's sealing jutsu when he wasn't looking at Kakashi and didn't have his Sharingan active? Did his eyes have a curve, or did he have eyes on the back of his head?

Even forced power-ups don't work like that.

"It's no use. It has already broken my sealing jutsu once. Sealing it again won't work," Kurenai said, protecting Yakumo while cutting the vines.

So this thing can only be killed? It's a bit of a waste to kill something so fun.

Originally, Naruto had intended to kill it, but Ido's earlier sentence, "This is my space," made him change his mind.

Because the last one who said that was sealed by her son to the point where even her grandson didn't recognize her, a tragedy even worse than being beaten until your own mother doesn't recognize you.

Naruto intended to let Ido experience that too.

"I can." Sasuke was already breaking through towards Naruto.

How do you know how to do everything? Did you also study abroad in Hawaii?

Though he complained inwardly, his hands didn't stop. He tightened his grip on Ido's neck. "Stand still obediently!"

This thing was struggling too much; he had to use force.
