Chapter – 591 Finding Garaga

After walking for a while, the group of Naruto, Hinata, and Kabuto crossed several passages and finally came to a huge cave…

"This is the cave that Obachan said, right?" asked Naruto as he ran to the edge of the cave, and started to turn up the rocks that were fallen on the ground…

Seeing Naruto's actions, both Hinata and Kabuto were quite confused, and asked in a low voice, "Naruto-kun… why are you turning up these scattered rocks?"

"Huh… don't you know Hinata? I am turning these rocks to find where that troublesome snake is… You see, snakes like to hide in holes covered by rocks… I have caught several snakes in this way when I was in the village…" Naruto explained with a triumphant smile, and then suddenly realized something and said to Hinata, "Hinata… your eyes are called Byakugan, right? Sasuke told me that Byakugan is very helpful when we have to locate something… can you help me find that snake with the help of your Byakugan?"

Listening to Naruto's words, Kabuto's eyes twitched in annoyance…

Hinata on the other hand nodded hurriedly, and immediately after weaving the hand signs, she activated her Byakugan, 'Byakugan!'

With her Byakugan activated, Hinata was about to carefully examine the entire cave in search of any snake, but before she even started… her Byakugan was suddenly overwhelmed by enormous Chakra… Seeing that presence, Hinata was shaken, her legs softened in fear and she collapsed on the ground with horror in her eyes…

Naruto was taken aback, and asked in a worried tone, "Hinata! What happened? Are you okay…?"

Collapsed on her butt, the shaken Hinata raised her arm tremblingly and pointed at something behind Naruto, "Na… Naruto-kun… behind… behind you…!"

Naruto turned and looked behind him only to see a smooth wall, he was confused, and after examining it several times, he turned back towards Hinata, and asked in a puzzled tone, "What's the matter? Isn't this just a wall? This wall scared you… is there something strange about this wall?"

At this time, Kabuto shouted, "Naruto…! Get away from there! That's no wall!"

But apparently, Kabuto was too late, because before his words fell, the whole wall on which Naruto's hand was resting moved, and together with the movement of the wall, the cave shook…

Rumble…

Before Naruto could realize what was happening, he saw a huge yellow eye, with a black vertical slit in front of him, and looking at that eye, the size of which is bigger than even him, Naruto was dumbfounded and exclaimed in shock, "This… wh… what is this?!"

Whoosh…

Considering the emergency situation, Kabuto didn't bother to answer Naruto's question, he held Hinata in one hand, then immediately used Body Flicker Jutsu to cover up the distance between him and Naruto… After making sure both the kids were with him, Kabuto used a smoke bomb to cover up his presence and disappeared from that cave using another Body Flicker Jutsu…

Whoosh…

Arriving at a safe distance with his fastest speed, Kabuto with disordered breath let go of Naruto and Hinata, and wiped the cold sweat covering his forehead… At the same time, he couldn't help but curse the situation, "Damn it… it's just as I expected… there is no way we are a match for that kind of monster… we have to retreat from here…!"

As soon as he saw the humongous size of the red-scaled Snake named Garaga, Kabuto realized that they are no match for that kind of existence… And it was exactly as he had expected, the Snake Garaga is definitely on the same level as Manda… Orochimaru's Summon, and the so-called strongest Snake in the Shinobi World! And only a shinobi on Orochimaru's level can take such an existence, not them…

Understanding this fact, Kabuto's fluke mentality of stealing Garaga's reverse scale was already gone, and he was only thinking of the way to retreat from here… unfortunately for him, his luck is not good this time around… because as soon as he was going to run hold both Naruto and Hinata, he felt a presence right behind him…

Garaga, with his upper body, raised watched Kabuto run away while carrying the two human children and snorted coldly, "You humans dare trespass into my territory…! I'll kill you all!"

Declaring so, he opened his mouth, then spat out greyish liquid towards the exit of the cave.

Shaa…

The greyish liquid fell on the only nearby exit of the cave and instantly solidified, and blocked it, thus cutting off Kabuto and others' retreat.

With the exit blocked, Garaga turned over his humongous body then got close to the intruders, and while closely looking at the three of them, he said, "It's been a long time since I ate a Shinobi… Now that you have come to me yourselves, it's time for me to relieve my hunger!"

Subjected to Garaga's intense killing intent, and noting that the exit has been blocked too, Kabuto's heart sank… this time, he didn't care about anything, and after dropping both Naruto and Hinata to the ground, he quickly weaved the hand signs and shouted, 'Water Style: Water Dragon Missile!'

Instantly a huge water dragon was spat out of Kabuto's mouth and heavily pounced on Garaga's body.

Boom!

Under the sudden attack of the 'Water Dragon Missile', Garaga's body flew backwards and heavily slammed on the rock walls behind him… causing the entire cave to shake violently which resulted in heavy stalactites falling from the roof of the cave.

"You trash human…! You have some nerve using your Jutsu on me!" the enraged Garaga shouted and swept his tail towards Kabuto.

Boom… Smash… Crack…

Swept by the giant tail of Garaga, Kabuto was like a fly that was hit by the swatter… His body was instantly lifted off the ground and heavily smashed into the cave walls made up of hard rocks, and then collapsed on the ground with a muffled sound…

Seeing this, Naruto and Hinata hurriedly rushed over, and asked worriedly, "Kabuto-nii-chan… are you okay?"

"*Cough-cough*…" Kabuto coughed heavily and shook his head as he got up from the ground… At the same time, he also examined the extent of the injury he received just now, 'Several bones seem to be broken, my shoulder muscles are heavily damaged, along with severe internal bleeding…'

His injuries were obviously very serious, but from the expression on his face, one can easily tell that he wasn't particularly worried about his injuries… After wiping away the traces of blood from the corner of his mouth, Kabuto muttered, "Yin Healing Wound Destruction!", and instantly all his injuries started to heal rapidly…

With his expertise in Iryo Ninjutsu, healing such injuries is not that big of a deal for him, but of course, nothing in this world comes for free… so, although Kabuto knows that these injuries are not a problem for him and can be healed pretty easily, he also knows that this healing would cost his Chakra Reserves… As such, he understood that he is not allowed to suffer any more injuries of this level, otherwise, it would be 'Game Over'… That's why, he has to quickly figure out a way to retreat, otherwise, they will all be digested by this giant red snake with not even bones left behind…!

Although he knows as such, he couldn't really find a way to escape Garaga's pursuit… After brainstorming for a while, Kabuto suddenly remembered something, "Yes! Why not use him? He should be helpful in this situation!"

At the same time, Kabuto hesitated… He knows that although he has the ability to summon that monster… unlike Orochimaru, he has no control over that guy… so whether that guy will respond to his summon is not completely certain… It would depend entirely on that guy's mood… But seeing the Giant Red Snake about to kill them, Kabuto knew that he has no other option, and decided, 'It seems I have no other option but to take a gamble…!'

After reaching this conclusion, Kabuto bit his finger then while using his own blood as the catalyst Kabuto weaved the appropriate hand signs and pressed his hand on the ground… 'Kuchiyose no Jutsu!'

Pooooooff!
