—Yomotsu Hirasaka: Triple Reversal!
First, using Danmetsu Sentei to break the cause-and-effect connection of "injury negation" caused by time reversal, then continuously rewinding the moment of attack three times, with damage retained and stacked together!
The original strike plus three more—that's four total!
To put it bluntly, Night Guy's decisive kick became four decisive kicks!
Whoosh!
The instant Night Guy's foot connected with Indra's chest, Yomotsu Hirasaka's white vortex appeared. Guy was pulled back slightly to just before contact, then struck again, pulled back, struck again, pulled back, struck again, pulled back... On the final contact, the accumulated force of four strikes exploded all at once!
The entire process seemed slow but happened in one fluid motion!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...!!!!
Night Guy's dragon carried Indra, blasting toward the distance!
The external impact threw his internal pressure out of balance. The furnace-like heat and internal pressure desperately sought an outlet, trying to burst through Indra's body, bringing with it annihilating agony!!
BANG! BANG!
Indra's eyes burst directly from their sockets, the empty holes spewing flames!!
"UAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!"
Indra screamed in agony. Starting from his struck chest, the black of Dōko Agaryū turned to charcoal, instantly spreading across his entire body!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Seconds later... his Truth-Seeking Orb-covered skin exploded into fragments, and his screams ceased abruptly!!
"AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...!!!"
Might Guy roared, his foot stomping on a burning skeleton as he continued charging forward!!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
During the process, the skeleton continuously broke apart and disintegrated... Along the kilometer-long path, Indra's remains were scattered everywhere!
BOOM...!
A second before Night Guy reached his limit, Indra's skeleton completely crumbled—his entire being turned to dust in the air!!
Whoosh!
The blood-red steam around Might Guy burned away completely!
His right leg, used for the kick, turned to dust and disappeared as he crashed heavily to the ground!
Whoosh!
A Kamui vortex appeared—Kakashi landed beside Guy, helping him up.
"Well done, Guy. Leave the rest to Naruto and the others!"
Whoosh! He took Guy off the battlefield, leaving the stage to the main forces!
Rustle, rustle, rustle...!
A sapling burst through the earth!
Fragments of Indra's body and bones, scattered within several kilometers, spun through the air and converged toward the sapling, reforming into Indra's body!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
His eyes, which had been blasted even farther away, answered the call, flying back with optic nerves trailing behind, and he stuffed them back into his sockets!
Whoosh! His Six Paths robe reignited, wrapping around his form.
Indra extended his hand toward the front.
—Universal Pull!
Whoosh!
Gravitational force pulled the Yin-Yang Six Paths Staff that had been driven into the ground from the beginning, drawing it into his grasp.
"Heh heh heh, heh heh heh..."
The regenerated Indra chuckled darkly, then threw back his head in laughter: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! If I hadn't absorbed the God Tree, I'd be completely finished. Excellent, absolutely excellent, perfect."
His laughter gradually subsided, and Indra's expression returned to its cold sternness. He turned toward the black-clad Obito, murmuring, "Though... this was only possible because a certain someone tampered with time just a bit."
Obito's gaze was calm. "As expected, his power has weakened considerably. He's the God Tree's jinchūriki, but he's not the God Tree itself. Whether it's large-scale jutsu or regeneration after injury, the consumption is shared between him and the God Tree at a certain ratio. With the God Tree maintaining the Infinite Tsukuyomi, that consumption ratio leans even more toward Indra himself."
At the rear lines—
"In-incredible..."
"With battles at this level, what can we do besides charge like machines?"
"What does it even mean to be a ninja?"
THUD! THUD! THUD!
The ninja who had been revived and standing guard began collapsing one after another.
Though Yomotsu Hirasaka had forcibly revived them by reversing time, the memories and experiences of being killed repeatedly—the tearing pain of their bodies being wounded, the mental exhaustion—none of that could be reversed. In such high-intensity combat, it all accumulated.
Those with weak willpower couldn't endure it, collapsing from exhaustion. Only those at least at the elite jōnin level could still stand.
Naruto looked at the fallen ninja and murmured, "Seems their witnessing ends here. I hope it'll have a positive impact on the future..."
Drawing back his gaze, Naruto said, "Sasuke, Hinata, it's time for us to take the stage!"
"Yes, Naruto-kun!"
"Hmph! I've been waiting!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three moved out together!
Wind ruffled pink bangs as Sakura Haruno watched their backs, her gaze somewhat complex. But in an instant, she collected herself.
"Lady Tsunade, with a battle of this scale, the collateral damage will inevitably be massive. Let's summon Katsuyu together to protect the ninja!"
Tsunade stared at Sakura somewhat blankly.
"Lady Tsunade, what's wrong?"
"No, nothing. Let's act immediately!"
Tsunade thought: Sakura... she's truly, genuinely grown up...
Former master and student released their Strength of a Hundred Seal together.
—Summoning Jutsu!
BOOM...!
Katsuyu's massive form descended behind the lines!
Passing by Madara, Naruto said, "Uncle Madara, rest for now. Wait until all your Limbo clones recover before rejoining the fight!"
Madara turned away. "Hmph..."
Passing by Obito: "Obito, you've been maintaining jutsu for so long. Though your chakra isn't depleted, you must be mentally exhausted. Rest and restore your spirit—have some soul vegetables..."
Obito replied, "Understood. By the way, there's something I brought from the Senra Cave—it might be useful to you..."
He produced one of the strange fruits he'd taken from the Senra Cave that could replenish life force, tossing it to Naruto.
TAP!
Naruto caught it. "This is!! Thanks, huge help~!"
Obito said, "Be careful of Indra's Mokukachiryū—that's deadly!"
"Ah... I was just worrying about how to deal with that dōjutsu, but now I have a solution~!"
Naruto gripped the strange fruit.
—Ōmononushi!
Three hundred meters in the void above, thousands of strange fruits were directly replicated!
Hinata was shocked. "So many...!"
Naruto took out the Amber Purifying Pot from his scroll, removed the lid, held it against his chest, and set an Ōmononushi beacon. The fruits whooshed into the bottle.
Naruto sealed the pot and stored it safely in his scroll, gaining confidence.
"Yoshi~ If I get absorbed, I'll just eat a fruit. No more worries..."
With that, Naruto stuffed the strange fruit he'd used as a sample into his mouth, stopped walking, and chewed heartily while greeting: "Sorry to keep you waiting, Indra..."
Indra, having witnessed everything, gradually furrowed his brow into a "川" shape, seeming to ask both Naruto and himself: "This is the strongest ninja of the current era...??"
Naruto straightened his Amegakure forehead protector and flashed a brilliant smile. "Yeah, I never change my name when walking or my surname when sitting—Uzumaki Naruto it is!"
Indra thought: "Not quite what I expected... I can't read what kind of person he is. Black Zetsu didn't tell me his background either. Better test him first."
He released his staff and formed hand seals.
—Summoning: Martial Beast Descent!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Accompanied by summoning circles, hundreds of massive "Ten-Tails Splinter Bodies" appeared ahead!
Indra gripped his staff, raised two fingers, and his eyes blazed with light!
CRACK...!
Hundreds of weaponized Susanoo armor sets materialized on these Ten-Tails splinter bodies!
—Ten-Tails: Splintered Armored Warriors!
"Oh, playing that game..."
Naruto's gaze shifted as he formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground.
Sasuke thought: Animal Path summons? No matter how you look at it, they can't match those things, right?
Naruto looked ahead. "Time to bring out those three—one of them should be familiar to you, Indra..."
—Summoning Jutsu!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three clouds of white smoke appeared ahead, nearly obscuring all vision!
Sasuke shielded his face. "This chakra... what's going on??"
As the smoke cleared, three colossal beings appeared before Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata!
That's right—they were the ones Naruto, Konan, and Hinata had painstakingly subdued in the Realm of Reincarnation: the Monkey King, Nine-Headed Sage Serpent, and Golden-Eyed Toad!
Sasuke was awestruck. "Summons of this caliber—when did he find them? He never used them at the Valley of the End!"
Indra gazed at the central figure, his eyes growing increasingly dark as he gripped his staff tighter. "Oh? This is truly... unexpected..."
CLANG!
He struck his staff to the ground!
"AWOOOOOOOO...!"
Hundreds of Ten-Tails Splintered Armored Giants charged forward with raised blades!
