After Hinata left the battlefield, Naruto no longer had the leisure for flashy tricks.
Clang!
He planted the Ruyi Staff beside him. "Monkey King, you can return for now."
The Monkey King asked, "Master, isn't the staff working well? I can transform into other weapons!"
Naruto replied, "Weapon combat isn't my specialty. Without thousands of hours of training, I can't use untested techniques against an opponent of this caliber. After this war ends, I'll dedicate myself to mastering it—that's when you'll truly shine. Go now..."
Monkey King: "Understood, Master!"
Poof! It vanished in white smoke!
"Hoo..." Naruto took a deep breath. "Now then."
He pulled out the Amber Purifying Bottle from a scroll, opened the lid, and the strange fruit he'd copied and stored inside had transformed into nectar. He poured it all down his throat at once!
Hisss...!
Steam rose from Naruto's body as his lost life force was completely restored—and reached an unprecedented peak!
Putting away the bottle, Naruto pounded his fist into his palm, his lips curving into a confident smile. "Let's go, Sasuke!"
Sasuke stepped forward, gripping his fan in his right hand and the Kusanagi Sword in his left.
Whoosh!
The two alternated their charge, launching a frontal assault on Indra!
"Finally done with the tricks! Good—then I'll face you head-on with honor!"
Indra's severed arm rapidly regenerated as he formed hand seals with both hands!
—Six Paths: Great Thunder Technique!
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, transforming into endless descending lightning strikes!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With ghostly agility, Naruto dodged three consecutive lightning bolts, rolling across the ground and grabbing a Flying Thunder God kunai!
—Ōmononushi!
The kunai replicated into thousands, and Naruto weaved through the lightning with ease!
Sasuke's right eye focused.
—Takemikazuchi!
All the lightning targeting him miraculously changed direction!
After gaining Six Paths power, Takemikazuchi could not only manipulate lightning's form but even alter its very vector!
However, this still couldn't fundamentally solve the lightning barrage problem!
Whoosh!
After another teleportation through kunai, Kurama's form emerged from Naruto's Six Paths cloak, swallowing a terrifying Tailed Beast Ball and firing it skyward as a beam, directly obliterating the thundercloud and clearing the heavens!
Indra wasn't angry—instead, he smiled. "Oh~ Well done..."
He raised his hand in a distant gesture!
—Kagutsuchi: Sealed Spear Formation!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Spears of Amaterasu black flames erupted chaotically from beneath Naruto's feet, weaving together in an instant and piercing Kurama's chakra form!
Indra clenched his palm.
—Explode!!!
Boom...!
The black flames detonated, consuming Kurama's form!!
Whoosh...!
Naruto escaped the black flame zone with Flying Thunder God, extending his left hand bearing the Yang power mark. "Son, lend me your chakra!!"
Inside, Son Goku responded, "No problem!"
Whoosh! A terrifying Lava Release fireball formed in Naruto's hand, rapidly expanding with wind blades protruding from the surface!
This was—Sage Art: Lava Release: Super Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken!
Sizzle! Naruto's left eye narrowed. "This is payback!"
—Ōmononushi!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Across three hundred meters of sky, identical Sage Art: Lava Release: Super Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken were replicated a hundred times!
Naruto made Indra the Ōmononushi beacon!
Then... all the spinning Sage Art: Lava Release: Super Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken surged toward Indra at once!
"I see—copying objects or jutsu, that's your Rinnegan's power..." Indra murmured, thinking: If I'm hit by this, I certainly won't die, but I'll definitely be further weakened. My Truth-Seeking Orbs are depleted—making more would consume massive chakra, but which cost is more worthwhile is obvious!
Clap!
He suddenly formed hand seals with both hands.
—Six Paths: Truth-Seeking Orb Creation!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Truth-Seeking Orbs were created one after another!
Just before the attack surrounded him, the orbs transformed into omnidirectional protective barriers—three layers inside, three layers outside!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM...!
A hundred Sage Art: Lava Release: Super Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken exploded simultaneously, erupting into a flame vortex that stirred the stratosphere, visible from hundreds of miles away...!!
Whoosh...!
Heat waves rolled in all directions, turning even the clouds red!!!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Inside the flame vortex, the Truth-Seeking Orb barriers shattered layer by layer, but each time one broke, a fresh orb formed a new layer—so this terrifying attack actually seemed to be getting blocked!
Uchiha Sasuke activated his Complete Body Susanoo, ascending to the edge of the flame vortex. Susanoo formed hand seals with both hands!
The superheated, boiling atmospheric energy gathered and surged into Susanoo's armor, then transformed into terrifying lightning arrows in Susanoo's hands!
Sasuke opened his right palm bearing the Yin power mark!
—Six Paths: Yin Lightning!!
Through nature transformation, the lightning arrows turned pitch black!
Undoubtedly, this technique was far more powerful than the "Indra's Arrow" he'd used in his previous life!
Sizzle!
Sasuke's right eye focused.
—Kagutsuchi!
A path immediately opened through the flame vortex ahead, revealing the Truth-Seeking Orb barrier protecting Indra!
Crackle...!
The black lightning arrow was nocked, the bowstring drawn to full moon, locked onto that sole target, and fired!
—Six Paths: Great Dark Heaven Black Arrow!
The pitch-black lightning arrow flashed through the flame corridor, shattered the Truth-Seeking Orbs, pierced through Indra, and burst out the far side of the flame vortex!!
"Ugh..." Indra's expression twisted in pain, but he endured it, his left eye suddenly focusing.
—Amaterasu Substitution Jutsu!
Poof...!
His body scattered into black flames!
His true form reappeared in the distance!
Naruto descended, his real body and nine shadow clones each condensing Super Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken with the nine tailed beasts' attributes, hurling them all down at once!
—Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Ball Rasenshuriken!!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...!
Explosive mushroom clouds instantly engulfed Indra!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The tailed beast chakra within Indra's body resonated with the nine tailed beasts' chakra in Naruto's technique, being drawn out!
"Roaaaaar... Get back in there!!!"
Indra's eyes bulged with rage as he forcibly pulled the tailed beasts' chakra back!
Then, with a savage grin, he formed hand seals with both hands!
"Fine then... I'll just absorb all of you!"
—Me: Chibaku Tensei!
Indra transformed himself into the "core" of Chibaku Tensei! Radiating pitch-black gravitational field lines, he twisted everything around him!!
The terrifying suction force pulled both Naruto and Sasuke toward him!
Sasuke shouted, "He's gone insane!!!"
Indra laughed maniacally, "Hahahahaha... There's nothing to fear at all! I've thought it through—the only way you could defeat me is with the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei using Six Paths Yin-Yang power, but I've already decoded that technique. In other words, I cannot be sealed—so I can play however I want...!!"
Sasuke: "Naruto, use Flying Thunder God to escape—if you get caught, it's over!"
Naruto: "Damn... In this bizarre gravitational field, I can't sense the Flying Thunder God markers outside. Could it be that even the chakra 'sensory field' has been altered by this force??"
You couldn't blame Naruto for being careless—Indra's current combat power was already several times that of Six Paths Madara from his previous life... and in some ways, even more troublesome than Kaguya!
At least Kaguya still feared being sealed!
But Indra feared nothing at all...
Whoosh!
At this critical moment, Uchiha Obito forcefully appeared at the perimeter, using Danmetsu Shanti on that dark gravitational field!
Whoosh...!
Causality was severed!
Naruto regained his connection to the Flying Thunder God kunai. He flashed to Sasuke's side, grabbed him, and together they escaped the dark gravity zone!
Just then, Uchiha Madara'sLimbo: Border Jail shadows fully recovered and returned to the central battlefield!
Whoosh! The dark shadows completely vanished... Indra stood expressionless in midair. "Looks like all the great pillars are assembled."
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Naruto and Sasuke returned to the battlefield!
The four exchanged glances, sharing a common understanding!!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Obito, and Uchiha Madara simultaneously activated—Susanoo: Complete Body!
Madara's eight Limbo shadows also activated Limbo: Susanoo!
Four authentic Susanoo stood inside, with eight Limbo Susanoo surrounding them, sealing the sky completely!
Witnessing this scene, Indra laughed fearlessly, "Hahahahahahaha! Excellent—this is what a real 'battle' should be!!!"
His eyes suddenly turned razor-sharp.
—Six Paths: Susanoo!!
An overwhelming war god stood tall against the heavens!
Six Paths: Susanoo raised its "Heavenly Martial Halberd."
—"I am Ōtsutsuki Indra—come challenge me, youngsters...!!!!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Four pairs of eyes sharpened simultaneously as the celestial Susanoo engaged in an unparalleled melee...!
Slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash-slash...!!!
In an instant, blade light and sword shadows swept across the eight directions...!
