Chapter 276: Majestic Attire Susanoo (Part 3)
After the giant Nine-Tails broke through the top floor of the palace, the group had originally thought they would fall to the ground. However, everyone soon discovered that they seemed to have followed the Nine-Tails to the surface of a planet. The huge blue planet not far away made one thing abundantly clear: they were now truly on the moon.
Not long after, the ground in another part of the moon also cracked open, and a bizarre statue, even more colossal than the Nine-Tails, rose from the ground.
"This is... so this thing was on the moon?" The Nine-Tails was stunned on the spot the moment it saw this statue. After all, this thing, strictly speaking, could be considered their, the Tailed Beasts', placenta?
However, before the Nine-Tails could remain stunned for long, the giant Gedo Mazō had already raised its hand to attack it.
The Gedo Mazō's skin had an ominous grayish-blue luster. From the cracks of its nine tightly shut eyes, a crimson light shone through. Its huge mouth opened and closed, letting out a silent roar that shook the surrounding floating rocks into pieces.
"Give up, insects of the ninja world," Toneri hovered above the Mazō's head, his voice directly entering their minds, carrying a cold detachment and absolute confidence. "The chakra of Earth, along with these eyes, will all be the cornerstone of the new world. Your power, in front of our ancestor's creation, is nothing."
"Cut the crap! Give back Hanabi's eyes!" Naruto roared, his golden Nine-Tails chakra instantly erupting. He clasped his palms together, condensed a huge Tailed Beast Ball, and blasted it towards the Mazō with a destructive aura.
However, facing this violent blow, the Gedo Mazō just raised its giant arm. The bandage-like material wrapped around its arm instantly hardened, forming a giant shield.
BOOM—!!!
A deafening explosion blossomed on the surface of the moon, the shockwave sending countless amounts of lunar soil flying.
When the smoke and dust cleared, only a few scorch marks were left on the Mazō's arm shield. Its main body was completely unharmed! It hadn't even taken a single step back.
"What?!" Naruto's pupils contracted.
"ROAR—!" The Gedo Mazō let out a silent roar. Its giant palm slammed down, its speed completely belying its size! The giant Nine-Tails flattened itself to the ground and narrowly dodged in a sorry state. A bottomless crater was smashed into its original spot.
The battle instantly became white-hot. The giant nine-tailed fox roared and charged at the Mazō. Its sharp claws tore through the air, and Tailed Beast Balls were continuously bombarded. But the Gedo Mazō, under Toneri's exquisite control, displayed terrifying power and defense. Its arms were like heavenly pillars; every block made the Nine-Tails' body shake violently. The chakra beams spewed from its mouth were flexible and cunning, continuously biting at the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak. From its back, several huge chakra chains extended, like giant pythons, wrapping towards the Nine-Tails.
"Troublesome fellow, go and die," Toneri's voice was devoid of any emotion.
Several chakra chains had already firmly bound the Nine-Tails' four limbs and neck! A terrifying suction force came from the chains, frantically extracting the Nine-Tails' chakra!
"Ugh, Aaaaaahhhhh—!" Naruto and the Nine-Tails simultaneously let out a painful roar. The Nine-Tails' massive body was forcibly suppressed by the chains, being dragged bit by bit towards the Mazō's open mouth. A chaotic and terrifying ball of chakra energy was condensing in the Mazō's mouth, its target aimed straight at the restrained Nine-Tails!
"Naruto!" Although Sasuke could not see at the moment, he could clearly sense that Naruto's chakra and life force were rapidly draining away.
"Almost there, just a little faster!" Sasuke endured the severe pain and channeled his Sage Art chakra into his eyes, accelerating the fusion of the two dōjutsu!
At that very moment, it was as if some kind of shackle had been broken!
Puchi!
The severe pain in his eyes reached its peak. Sasuke ripped off the white cloth covering his eyes. Blood flowed down his cheeks.
However, the flowing blood seemed to carry a strange power. The pupils of Sasuke's eyes, the original Mangekyo pattern, completely disappeared, replaced by a new, more complex, deeper, and more powerful eternal pattern—the two pairs of Mangekyo Sharingan from the same bloodline had completely fused at this moment.
A dōjutsu so powerful that it made space itself tremble slightly gushed out!
"That's... what power is that?" Even Toneri felt a trace of surprise, and his control over the Mazō paused slightly.
"Haaah—!" Sasuke let out a sharp cry. The pattern of the Eternal Mangekyo spun eerily in his left eye!
"Takemikazuchi!"
Black lightning, seemingly quiet but carrying the power to annihilate everything, descended from the void onto the chakra chains binding the Nine-Tails! Under the devouring of this black lightning, the chains silently began to disintegrate!
"Naruto! Now!" Sasuke's voice carried an unprecedented sense of power.
The freed Nine-Tails let out a heaven-shaking roar, its accumulated power instantly exploding!
"Susanoo!" Sasuke's cold voice also sounded at this time.
On the surface of the golden nine-tailed fox's body, a layer of purple armor slowly appeared, until it completely enveloped the Nine-Tails. The Nine-Tails' figure also suddenly grew a great deal taller. A long sword wreathed in black lightning appeared in the Nine-Tails' hand.
"This feeling, it's really been a long time," the Nine-Tails looked at the long sword in its hand and grinned. It had experienced this feeling full of power once before, but that time had not brought it very fond memories. This time, it could finally have a good fight.
The nine-tailed fox, clad in purple armor, moved! It took a step forward, and the moon's surface cracked! The giant chakra greatsword, with a world-destroying momentum, tore through the vacuum and brazenly chopped down at the mountain-like Gedo Mazō!
The Gedo Mazō, under Toneri's control, let out a heaven-shaking roar. Its arms crossed, condensing the strongest chakra barrier in an attempt to block.
RUMBLE—!!!!!!!!
An indescribably terrifying collision erupted! The purple-gold sword light and the grayish-blue barrier clashed violently. The resulting energy storm instantly swept across the entire battlefield, grinding the suspended giant rock spheres into fine powder! The surface of the moon, like a lake into which a giant stone had been thrown, stirred up a monstrous wave of lunar soil!
The stalemate lasted only for a moment!
Crack!
In the face of the absolute power of the fused Eternal Mangekyo and Nine-Tails chakra, the Gedo Mazō's indestructible defensive barrier showed its first crack! Immediately after, the crack spread rapidly like a spider's web!
"Break for me—!!!" Naruto and Sasuke roared in unison.
The purple-gold chakra giant blade's light flared up. Like cutting through rotten wood, it brazenly shattered the barrier and heavily chopped onto the Gedo Mazō's huge body!
"ROAR—!!!"
The Gedo Mazō let out a heaven-shaking, painful roar. Its massive body was sent stumbling back by this slash, a huge wound deep enough to see bone left on its chest. Greenish-black blood gushed out like a waterfall! The top of the Mazō's head where Toneri stood shook violently, almost throwing him off!
The situation was instantly reversed!
"Damn it! You insects of the ninja world!" After Toneri stabilized himself, he spat out a mouthful of blood. The Gedo Mazō had suffered a heavy blow, and he, who was providing its chakra power, also received a huge backlash.
"In that case, then let's all be buried with this sinful ninja world!" Toneri roared, a trace of madness flashing in his eyes. A pale blue chakra erupted, and the surface of the moon cracked further. A giant Tenseigan slowly rose from the surface.
At the same time, inside Konoha Village, Uchiha Douhuan, who was watching this scene through an astronomical telescope, narrowed his eyes, took out the Purple Forbidden Star ring that Nagato had given him, input chakra, and activated the Magic Lantern Body Technique.
Soon, in front of Uchiha Douhuan, two flashes of light passed. After the characters for Zero and White flashed, the phantoms of Nagato and Konan appeared before Uchiha Douhuan.
"Lord Hokage, did you call me because of the matter of the meteor attack on Konoha? If needed, I can come to Konoha right now," Nagato said.
"It's not because of that. Just a few meteors, I can still handle them," Uchiha Douhuan said. "I came to confirm one thing with you. That is, is the Gedo Mazō still with you?"
"The Gedo Mazō?" Nagato was stunned upon hearing this. "That thing has always been kept in our Akatsuki's underground base."
"Alright, I understand," Uchiha Douhuan nodded, then looked up at the moon. So, the one currently fighting Naruto and Sasuke on the moon should be the Gedo Mazō in Isshiki's hands. In other words, this fellow Isshiki should have already been in contact with Toneri on the moon.
Uchiha Douhuan thought for a moment, then got up and rushed towards the clan's shrine on the Naka River. It was time to use this news to scare the old geezer and make him drop some more gold coins.
...
After the giant Tenseigan, formed from countless Byakugan, rose, the dōjutsu within it resonated with the Tenseigan in Toneri's eyes, which had been pushed to evolve with the special dōjutsu given to him by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. One Byakugan after another rose from the giant Tenseigan and gathered around Toneri and the Gedo Mazō as a center. Soon, they transformed into an indescribable monster.
"Those... are all Byakugan?" Naruto turned his head and asked Hinata, who was taking care of the unconscious Neji.
"I can feel it. Those are all Byakugan," Hinata said.
"Hasn't Neji woken up yet?" Sasuke also turned his head and asked at this time.
At the same time, in an illusory space, Neji was continuously walking forward. At this moment, around him, everything he had ever encountered was constantly replaying.
However, these scenes did not slow Neji's speed in the slightest. Neji strode forward with a blank expression.
"Sigh," at this time, a sigh suddenly came from behind Neji. Everything around him dissipated like a bubble and then transformed.
Neji raised his head and sized up his surroundings, finding that he had already arrived in a strange space. Beneath his feet, he was stepping on a damp puddle. In front of him floated a divine figure holding a long staff.
"My descendant, hello," the person in front of Neji spoke first.
"Who are you?" Neji narrowed his eyes and looked at this person who had suddenly appeared before him with some vigilance.
"My name is Ōtsutsuki Hamura," the person before Neji said slowly.
...
After the Byakugan from the giant Tenseigan poured into the body of the Gedo Mazō, a mutation began. The huge wound on the Gedo Mazō's chest healed and regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye in a pale blue light! But the healed skin was no longer grayish-blue, but covered with a layer of translucent, pale blue crystals like the material of the Tenseigan!
The Mazō's body size expanded wildly in the pillar of light, a whole circle larger than before. Its body surface even began to proliferate and twist irregularly! The original four limbs became thicker, the joints even twisted in the opposite direction, growing new claws covered with hideous eyeballs! At the position of its shoulder blades on its back, it tore open abruptly, and a pair of huge and twisted wings of light made of pure pale blue chakra extended out!
What was even more horrifying was that besides its original nine eyes opening completely, emitting an eerie light of interwoven crimson and pale blue, its forehead, shoulders, chest, and even the newborn wings of light began to crack open! One by one, Byakugan of different sizes, but all flashing with the same pale blue light, grew out from them! These eyes spun wildly, as if they had an independent will, greedily absorbing the power of the giant Tenseigan, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression and an indescribable eeriness.
At this moment, the Gedo Mazō had completely departed from its original form, turning into an indescribable monster covered in pale blue crystals, growing wings of light and countless Tenseigan, and emitting an energy that distorted space!
"Feel despair, ninjas," Toneri's voice seemed to come from the nine hells. He himself was also wrapped in a thick layer of pale blue chakra, as if he had fused with the Mazō.
"Sasuke!" Naruto felt an unprecedented threat. The Nine-Tails chakra roared and boiled inside the Majestic Attire Susanoo. "This guy... has become so disgusting! But its power is even stronger!"
"Be careful of those eyes!" Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan rotated at high speed. He could clearly see the terrifying dōjutsu and spatial fluctuations contained in those proliferating Tenseigan.
"ROAR—!" The Tenseigan Mazō: Beast of the End let out an inhuman roar, and the huge wings of light on its back suddenly flapped!
BOOM!
There was no sound, but a visible, space-distorting pale blue shockwave instantly spread out! Its speed was far beyond their imagination!
"Can't dodge! Defend!" Naruto and Sasuke's minds were in sync. The Majestic Attire Susanoo's huge arms crossed in front of it, and the purple-gold chakra armor erupted with a dazzling light!
BANG!!!
The terrifying impact slammed hard on the Majestic Attire's arms! The Majestic Attire Susanoo, which was powerful enough to split the Mazō's defense, was now pushed back several hundred meters by this pure shockwave! Two deep trenches were plowed into the moon's surface! Obvious energy ripples and fine cracks appeared on the chakra armor!
"Such strong power!" Naruto and Sasuke gritted their teeth at the same time.
The attack had only just begun!
A giant Tenseigan on the torso of the Tenseigan Mazō suddenly locked onto the Majestic Attire Susanoo!
A pale blue lightsaber, far thicker and more condensed than the one Toneri had used before, and carrying a space-tearing property, fell like a divine punishment! Its speed was so fast that it almost ignored the distance!
"Naruto!" Sasuke shouted loudly. The dōjutsu in his left eye surged out as if at any cost. On the surface of the long sword in the Nine-Tails' hand, black lightning gathered rapidly.
And Naruto also shouted loudly at this time. Together with the Nine-Tails, he raised the long sword high and then chopped down.
