Chapter 278: Black Zetsu: How About We Postpone the Eye of the Moon Plan?
Countless pure white chakra fist shadows, like a sudden downpour, met the silver ring of light! No longer the pressure point strikes of the Hyuga's Gentle Fist, but an attack containing the dōjutsu of the Tenseigan, sufficient to shake space itself!
Boom boom boom!
The pure white fist shadows and the silver ring of light clashed madly! Each collision triggered a small-scale spatial collapse! The two moved at high speed in the center of the explosion, clashing, their speed so fast that only two entangled streaks of light were left!
Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a look upon seeing this.
Due to the control over the giant Tenseigan being contested and the unstable energy supply, the Mazō's attack intensity and recovery speed had significantly decreased. The pressure on their Majestic Attire Susanoo was greatly reduced.
"Let's go too!" Naruto struck his palm and laughed heartily.
At this time, the giant Nine-Tails also grinned. He had been suppressed by that giant Tenseigan just now and had fought very憋屈 (biēqū -憋屈). Now he finally had a chance for revenge.
Without the energy supply from the great Tenseigan, the Gedo Mazō was steadily pushed back under the offensive of Naruto and Sasuke. The long sword of the Majestic Attire Susanoo left several wounds deep enough to see bone on the opponent's body.
And in mid-air, the clash of Neji's and Toneri's Tenseigan Chakra Modes was also nearing its end.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
The two shouted at the same time. In the sky above the moon, two giant swords of light slowly condensed, and then, fiercely chopped down at each other.
Silver-white and pale blue swords of light collided with a boom in the sky above the moon! There was no explosion, only a piercing, sharp sound, as if space itself was being cut! Circles of terrifying energy ripples spread out, forcing even the fiercely fighting Majestic Attire Susanoo and Tenseigan Mazō below to retreat repeatedly!
The two's attacks were deadlocked in the air, but it only lasted for a moment!
Toneri was horrified to find that the moment his pale blue sword of light made contact, its internal chakra structure actually began to be disintegrated and purified by the strange power in that silver-white light! Like melting ice and snow!
The gap between Ōtsutsuki Toneri's Tenseigan, which was cultivated using someone else's eyes and dōjutsu, and Neji's original Tenseigan was actually not that large. But in a duel of this level, this tiny gap was like a natural chasm.
"Break!" Neji let out a clear cry, and the silver-white sword of light's brilliance flared up!
Crack!
The pale blue sword of light shattered in response!
"Ugh!" Toneri was hit as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The pale blue chakra cloak on his body instantly dimmed considerably! The silver-white sword of light, with its momentum undiminished, fiercely chopped down on the Truth-Seeking Orb defense he had hastily condensed!
BOOM!
The Truth-Seeking Orb was sent flying, and Toneri was slammed hard onto the lunar surface by the immense force, creating a huge deep crater! Smoke and dust filled the air.
Below, the Gedo Mazō, under the storm-like attacks of the Majestic Attire Susanoo, finally let out a mournful cry. Its massive body began to disintegrate, its crystallized skin cracking and peeling off. The countless proliferating eyes dimmed and closed.
Subsequently, a special formula appeared on the surface of the Gedo Mazō's body, and then it disappeared from the moon.
Neji slowly landed on the edge of the deep crater. His silver-white chakra cloak flowed like moonlight, his Tenseigan in his brow calmly watching the bottom of the crater.
In the deep crater, Toneri struggled to his feet. His pale blue cloak was in tatters, blood hung at the corners of his mouth, and the light of the Tenseigan in his eyes had also dimmed, filled with incredible defeat and confusion.
However, in the next instant, the Tenseigan in his eyes suddenly bloomed with a strange light. Toneri covered his eyes and let out a miserable scream, his life force beginning to drain away rapidly.
Seeing this, Neji hurriedly went forward, but this change came too quickly. He only had time to protect the pair of Hanabi's Byakugan. As for Ōtsutsuki Toneri, he was directly devoured by this light in an instant, turning into a dried corpse, and then turned into dust that scattered on the moon.
"Neji... this..." Naruto walked up and looked at Toneri, who had turned into flying ash, and frowned.
"A similar fluctuation appeared on that Gedo Mazō just now," Sasuke said with a frown. "It should be the work of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"In any case, let's go back to the village first and tell Teacher what happened here," Neji turned his head, took off the white cloth covering Hanabi's eyes in Hinata's arms, put the eyeballs back, and then used the chakra of his Tenseigan Mode to help her recover from her injuries.
Subsequently, Neji looked at the giant Tenseigan floating on the surface of the moon. "And then we have to bring Teacher here to seal this thing. This eye has the power to control the moon. If the enemy gets it, it will be a big problem."
After speaking, Neji waved his hand, and the giant Tenseigan also sank into the ground. Subsequently, the Tenseigan in Neji's eyes flashed, and a layer of chakra cloak appeared on the bodies of the few people present.
Neji led the group and flew directly towards the ninja world.
"Aren't we going the way we came?" Naruto was stunned upon seeing this.
"Yes, it's faster this way. And there are some things to deal with along the way," Neji said.
At the same time, on the outskirts of Iwagakure and Kumogakure, the armies of the two great ninja villages had already assembled. Onoki and A, after learning that Konoha had been attacked by falling meteors, had immediately thought that they could take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and thus had assembled their troops.
Of course, they didn't dare to really fight for the time being. However, it was still possible to conduct drills on the border to threaten Uchiha Douhuan, who was temporarily unable to leave the village.
However, before the troops of the two countries could even set off towards the Land of Fire, two sword glints falling from the sky plowed a trench thousands of meters long and tens of meters deep at the entrance of their villages.
Not a single ninja from the two countries was injured, but this sword glint landed just one meter in front of the ninja walking at the very front. The meaning could not be more obvious.
Onoki took a deep breath and waved his hand to give the order to retreat. The power of the attack from the sky was secondary. He could create a similar commotion if he pushed his Dust Release. But what was terrifying was that they didn't even see the shadow of the attacker! This was very terrifying.
In the Cloud Village, A, who was leading the charge, saw the attack that landed just one meter in front of him. The muscles on his face also twitched. He then touched his prosthesis and turned back to the army with a dark face.
After dealing with the two great ninja villages that were planning to fish in troubled waters, Neji then led the group back to Konoha.
"Neji, just drop me off here. Grandpa Jiraiya is still waiting for me on Mount Myoboku," seeing that they were almost at Konoha, Naruto said hurriedly.
Neji looked back at Naruto, nodded, and then slowly landed.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sasuke snorted coldly after seeing that Naruto wanted to run away again.
"Didn't I tell you? I have my own things to do," Naruto said.
"Neji? Aren't you going to catch him and bring him back?" Sasuke turned his head and asked.
Neji at this point had also deactivated his Tenseigan Chakra Mode. Then he looked at the two and shook his head helplessly, "Teacher said that catching this guy and bringing him back is your mission, and that I shouldn't interfere in your affairs."
At that time, when Naruto had just left the village, Neji had asked Uchiha Douhuan, and the answer he got was to let him not mind this matter. And this time, for Naruto to come back and help, strictly speaking, he and the Hyuga clan owed him this favor.
"Thanks a lot, Neji. And Hinata. I'll be going first," Naruto dusted off his clothes and waved at the few of them with a brilliant smile.
"Naruto-kun!" Hinata wanted to say something, but when the words reached her lips, she found that she couldn't quite say them.
"Are you treating me as if I'm thin air?" Sasuke narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and then said, "I've said it. Even if I have to break your legs, I will take you back to the village."
"Then you can just try!" Naruto said, not yielding an inch.
"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, please don't fight anymore!" Hinata said hurriedly upon seeing this.
However, in just that short while, the golden and purple lights had already collided. The two entangled streaks of light flew off into the distance together.
"That direction? The Valley of the End?" Neji sighed upon seeing this, then looked at Hinata. "Let's go. Let's go back to the village first and get Hanabi treated."
"Brother Neji..." Hinata looked in the direction the two had left, her face full of worry.
"Don't worry. Nothing will happen to them," after Neji finished speaking, he picked up Hanabi and walked towards the village.
At the same time, inside the Naka Shrine, Uchiha Douhuan walked into the secret room of the shrine. Black Zetsu at this time also condensed his form.
"Ancestor, there might have been a little accident with the Eye of the Moon Plan," Uchiha Douhuan said with a grave face the moment Black Zetsu appeared.
"Douhuan, what on earth happened?" Black Zetsu was instantly alarmed upon hearing that his plan to save his mother had gone awry and hurriedly asked.
"Our enemy this time is from the moon," Uchiha Douhuan said. "The meteor yesterday, I believe Ancestor has already seen it. And according to the investigation intelligence brought back by Konoha's Anbu, the person who planned this attack is from the moon."
"There are still people on the moon?" Black Zetsu's words were filled with incredulous astonishment. Even though he had lived for so long, he had never known about this.
"Yes. Since the people on the moon are hostile to our Konoha, then our plan to use the moon to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi will inevitably be affected," Uchiha Douhuan said.
"Have you found out the identity of those people on the moon?" Black Zetsu asked hurriedly.
"Yes," Uchiha Douhuan nodded. "Last night, the Hyuga clan was attacked. At that time, my two disciples were present. According to them, the attacker called himself Ōtsutsutsuki Toneri."
"What?" Upon hearing the three words "Ōtsutsutsuki," Black Zetsu immediately let out a sharp cry. "What did the enemy call himself?"
"Ōtsutsutsuki Toneri. Does Ancestor know of his origin?" Uchiha Douhuan asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
Black Zetsu at this point also realized that he seemed to have lost his composure a bit. So he slightly recovered his expression and tone, organized his language, and then slowly said.
"I am not clear about the enemy's origin. However, in the long years I have spent in the ninja world, I have also occasionally heard of this Ōtsutsutsuki clan. Are all of them in this clan very strong?" Black Zetsu said. "If they are on the moon, then our Eye of the Moon Plan might have to be temporarily put on hold."
Yes, after hearing the news of the Ōtsutsutsuki clan, Black Zetsu began to think about temporarily suspending the Eye of the Moon Plan. After all, why did his mother, Ōtsutsutsuki Kaguya, create the White Zetsu army? Wasn't it to deal with the reckoning of this terrifying clan? And now, the other party had actually come knocking! And they were on the moon!
Black Zetsu was now extremely worried about his mother's safety. But he also knew that all the people in the entire ninja world, even the incomparably powerful Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama back then, were like young children in front of this clan.
Right now, he could only hope that the seal laid down by his two unfilial brothers was strong enough to completely isolate his mother's aura, and that he would find a way to save his mother later.
After all, right now his mother had only lost her freedom. But if he continued with the Eye of the Moon Plan, his mother's life might be gone.
"Strong? How strong can they be?" Uchiha Douhuan said, feigning dissatisfaction and snorting coldly. "Ancestor, you can rest assured. No one can stop the Eye of the Moon Plan! Nobody! For the sake of the peace that the Infinite Tsukuyomi can bring, the Eye of the Moon Plan will surely be realized!"
Black Zetsu became anxious upon hearing this.
[Damn it! The Uchiha's madness is acting up again!]
Black Zetsu really wanted to give himself two big slaps right now. Back then, to trick Uchiha Douhuan into joining, he had boasted too much. Now this guy was single-mindedly heading straight for the Eye of the Moon Plan, which in turn had put him in a bind.
"Douhuan, I think we should still consider this at length," Black Zetsu said tentatively at this time.
"Consider it at length?" Uchiha Douhuan became agitated upon hearing Black Zetsu's words. "We have already collected more than half of the Tailed Beasts! The Eye of the Moon Plan is only a few steps away from completion. Why do we still need to consider it at length at this time?"
"The Ōtsutsutsuki clan is very strong. And they occupy the moon. This evil clan will definitely stop our Infinite Tsukuyomi," Black Zetsu said.
"No one can stop the Eye of the Moon Plan! Stop the arrival of peace in the ninja world!" Uchiha Douhuan first said fanatically, then looked at Black Zetsu.
"Calm down! Douhuan!" Black Zetsu was on the verge of tears at this point.
"Calm down! How do you expect me to calm down?" A trace of anger flashed across Uchiha Douhuan's face. "Ancestor, tell me, is the Eye of the Moon Plan real or not?"
Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Douhuan's unprecedentedly angry appearance, at the man-eating gaze in Uchiha Douhuan's Mangekyo Sharingan, which had involuntarily appeared out of anger, and couldn't help but swallow.
Black Zetsu was sure that if he dared to say that the Eye of the Moon Plan was fake, in the next second, the Swift Thunder at Uchiha Douhuan's waist would fall on him. He never doubted the madness and ruthlessness of the Uchiha clan.
"Douhuan... the Eye of the Moon Plan is of course real, it's just..."
"As long as it's real!" Uchiha Douhuan suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly. Subsequently, he fiercely drew his sword.
The flash of sword light that passed before his eyes almost made Black Zetsu wet himself. However, in the next second, Black Zetsu discovered that Uchiha Douhuan's Swift Thunder had only cut off a corner of the Naka Shrine's stone monument.
"Anyone who dares to speak of surrender again will end up like this monument!"
