Chapter 197: Izayoi's Pride
"Recovered so quickly, have you? As expected of a legendary ninja from the Warring States period, your mental fortitude is truly impressive."
Observing Uchiha Madara, who had already calmed his emotions and reformed his Sword of Nunoboko, Izayoi absorbed the golden-yellow orb of light in his hand while taunting him with a tone of praise.
Uchiha Madara said nothing this time. After reassembling his body, he and his four Limbo: Border Jail shadows launched an attack together against Izayoi.
Again, four invisible slashes roared towards Izayoi.
This time, Uchiha Madara didn't act himself, as he had already discerned the weakness of Izayoi's exclusive dōjutsu.
Just like the Preta Path of the Rinnegan and the light spheres of the Tenseigan, Izayoi's exclusive dōjutsu might only be able to absorb energy-based entities.
Physical attacks, and intangible attacks like those from Limbo: Border Jail shadows, which resemble spatial-time ninjutsu, could not be absorbed by Izayoi.
Thus, Uchiha Madara directly provided support to the Limbo: Border Jail shadows.
Seeing Uchiha Madara find the weakness of Miketsu so quickly, Izayoi merely chuckled meaningfully, "You found Miketsu's weakness with just one move? Too bad you're still a step late; the last piece of the puzzle is already in my hands."
"Next, I'll show you the difference in bloodline and aptitude!"
Izayoi flew backward, controlling his black shield to block the invisible slashes that had already engulfed him. At the same time, he spread his palm, and numerous golden-yellow orbs of light, the size of marbles, flew out from his palm.
These orbs were the new version of the Rinne Tenseigan's Chakra Orbs.
Izayoi channeled more chakra into these orbs, causing their volume to surge. Then, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upward, and he abruptly released the black shield that was blocking the invisible slashes, lightly exclaiming:
"Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"
Dazzling golden-yellow light suddenly tore through the night's darkness, illuminating the area.
Under Uchiha Madara's widened gaze, massive golden-yellow light beams, shaped like fists, roared towards him.
Uchiha Madara instinctively moved to parry with his sword, but the next second, a strong premonition caused him to immediately abandon that decision. He manipulated the Truth-Seeking Orbs around him to liquefy, forming a massive black sphere that enveloped himself.
At the same time, the four Limbo: Border Jail shadows formed a human wall in front of Uchiha Madara, unleashing Six Paths Senjutsu towards the raining fists that resembled a golden-yellow tsunami.
As for the aftermath of the invisible slashes, they had long been torn apart by the golden-yellow light.
Unfortunately, these single-attribute Six Paths Senjutsu were like throwing pebbles against a mountain in front of these golden-yellow giant fists.
Upon contact, they were instantly shattered.
Seeing this, the four Limbo: Border Jail shadows charged forward fearlessly, wielding their Swords of Nunoboko.
The invisible Shinra Tensei Swords collided with the roaring golden-yellow giant fists, barely halting the fists' advance, yet still failing to shatter them.
Moreover, after only a few seconds of stalemate, the Swords of Nunoboko all broke, and the four Limbo: Border Jail shadows were engulfed by the giant fists.
No jutsu is perfect or invincible; even the Ōtsutsuki clan's Divine Arts are no exception.
Kekkei Mōra are also the same.
Even the Sword of Nunoboko, which the Sage of Six Paths could use to defeat one of his mother's greatest strengths in conjunction with his younger brother before becoming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, also had flaws.
And it had more than one flaw.
A Heart's Sword, naturally, requires a heart.
The Limbo: Border Jail shadows being able to use the Sword of Nunoboko was already a testament to the ultimate dōjutsu.
But Limbo: Border Jail shadows are ultimately just clones, and in terms of independence, they are inferior to Shadow Clones and Wood Clones. Their will and conviction are incomparable to the original body.
Being able to block Izayoi's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack and hold out for a few seconds was already incredibly impressive.
The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack shattered the Swords of Nunoboko, and the Limbo: Border Jail shadows, engulfed by the golden-yellow light, also vanished.
The cooldown time had not yet ended, but Uchiha Madara's exclusive dōjutsu was forcibly put on cooldown by Izayoi's single strike.
Uchiha Madara could only summon Limbo: Border Jail shadows again once the cooldown ended.
However, the Limbo: Border Jail shadows had bought Uchiha Madara time to counterattack.
The massive black sphere rapidly flew backward.
The ground below rumbled with an earthquake, then abyss-like fissures appeared, and tree branches the size of mountains erupted from the earth. Like colossal pythons swinging their tails, they struck at the golden-yellow giant fists created from Chakra Orbs.
Compared to these tree branches, the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack's volume seemed minuscule.
However, upon collision, the tree branches, like exploding mountains, crumbled quickly.
And those golden-yellow giant fists, though weakened, still did not dissipate. They quickly caught up and engulfed the black sphere enveloping Uchiha Madara.
Each golden-yellow giant fist, as if equipped with a tracking system or possessing its own consciousness, despite their impressive area, made the black sphere appear minuscule in comparison.
Yet, these giant fists queued up, attacking the black sphere in turns, ensuring every strike landed.
The black sphere, formed by nine Truth-Seeking Orbs, was sent flying like a billiard ball, propelled by the equally accelerated golden-yellow giant fists for an unknown number of miles.
Finally, the black sphere emitted a cracking sound, unable to withstand the assault.
Just then, a dazzling white light burst forth, rapidly expanding to form a white wall of light, colliding with the remaining golden-yellow giant fists.
The pure white light and the golden-yellow light collided. The latter did not turn the former into its own color but rapidly dissipated, as if golden-yellow text on a white paper had been erased by an eraser or correction fluid.
The shattered black sphere reverted back into Truth-Seeking Orbs, floating around Uchiha Madara, who held the Sword of Nunoboko.
But the next second, Uchiha Madara began to cough up blood.
A massive, transparent column of white light roared from behind him, instantly engulfing Uchiha Madara's body.
Remarkably, Uchiha Madara's body did not fly forward. Instead, it remained within the light column, his body twisting and emitting a series of bone-cracking sounds.
Severe internal injuries caused blood to continuously seep from Uchiha Madara's mouth.
The scene rewound to about ten seconds earlier.
After launching the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack and sending Uchiha Madara flying, Izayoi once again created twelve golden-yellow orbs of light. He then used Yomotsu Hirasaka to create a black teleportation gate and threw the orbs into it.
Once the black sphere protecting Uchiha Madara shattered and stopped flying, a completely imperceptible black fissure appeared not far behind Uchiha Madara. Then, twelve orbs of light flew out, rotating to form a golden-yellow light wheel.
Finally, this light wheel transformed into an air cannon that engulfed Uchiha Madara.
This scene greatly resembled Might Guy's Evening Elephant striking Uchiha Madara in the original story, yet its power was completely incomparable.
No matter how strong Evening Elephant was, a few consecutive strikes could only make the single-eyed Uchiha Madara cough up blood.
But Izayoi's single strike, however, severely wounded Uchiha Madara, who possessed both eyes and Six Paths Sage Mode.
In these past two years, Izayoi wasn't merely waiting for his Tenseigan to evolve or simply training his Sage Body.
As a transmigrator who knew the plot, Izayoi daring to allow Uchiha Madara to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki and absorb the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails meant he had the confidence to deal with the complete Six Paths Madara.
Transcendental Aptitude (Rainbow) + Kekkei Mōra: Rinne Tenseigan (Rainbow) + Sage Body (Rainbow) — this was Izayoi's confidence.
Although Amenominaka had no offensive power, in Izayoi's eyes, it and Miketsu were both Kekkei Mōra-level dōjutsu, on the same level as Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Being able to easily see scenes from a thousand years ago gave Izayoi a comprehensive understanding of the strength of the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and her two sons.
The potential limit brought by Transcendental Aptitude (Rainbow), along with the abilities of the Rinne Tenseigan, allowed Izayoi to see through the principle of the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
Unlike Yomotsu Hirasaka and All-Killing Ash Bones, the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was a taijutsu-type Kekkei Mōra.
The principle of this technique was simple: it only required two major conditions.
First, the original chakra of the God Tree's fruit, which is the purest and most ultimate chakra.
Second, extreme chakra control, which means rainbow-tier chakra control.
Izayoi possessed neither of these.
However, Izayoi did not spend points to upgrade his chakra control, which had already been sublimated to a red attribute. Instead, he used them on Levitation, which was then a red attribute.
Because Izayoi was incredibly proud.
He wanted to develop his own Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, and even his own Evening Elephant.
Although he possessed Ōtsutsuki Bloodline (Rainbow), Izayoi's chakra was still not pure and ultimate enough. After all, it had only been a few years since he upgraded this attribute. Even with Transcendental Aptitude (Rainbow), he couldn't compare to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who had lived for thousands of years and eaten the Chakra Fruit.
But it didn't matter; what he didn't have, he could steal.
The Ten-Tails' jinchūriki and the Chakra Fruit were of the same origin. The fact that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, without her physical body revived, could use Uchiha Madara's body to unleash these Kekkei Mōra abilities, was the best explanation.
Izayoi only needed to absorb the Ten-Tails' chakra, not too much. His chakra would then meet the conditions for the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
Because he had Miketsu.
Miketsu, also known as Inari Ōkami, commonly referred to as the "god of three foxes" by common folk, is the deity presiding over harvests in Japanese mythology.
His essence is also that of a grain and food god.
Perhaps coincidentally, the abilities of Izayoi's two exclusive dōjutsu were very similar to the essences of these two deities.
Amenominaka is the god of time and permanence; Izayoi's dōjutsu can see the past and future.
Miketsu is the god of grain and food; Izayoi's dōjutsu can eat all energy-based things, and even some special things, as food.
And it wasn't just about eating; Izayoi would also digest the 'nutrients' from the food into his own.
The Ten-Tails' jinchūriki's nutrients were the pure and ultimate essence of chakra, as well as the attributes and abilities of the nine Tailed Beasts.
If one were to open Izayoi's personal panel now, they would find that his body had acquired several new Kekkei Genkai attributes.
These were the Lava Release and Boil Release from the Four-Tails and Five-Tails, and the Nine-Tails' good and evil perception, among others...
Additionally, Izayoi had also gained a Self-Healing attribute, though it was only purple.
However, this attribute was one that even Sage Body (Rainbow) and Wood Release's no-hand-seal healing had failed to unlock.
Undoubtedly, once Izayoi upgraded this attribute to rainbow-tier, he too could self-heal even if he lost half his body, just like the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.
Ten-Tails' chakra and Six Paths Power were incredibly mysterious.
Uchiha Obito was able to use Kamui to return his soul from the Pure Land to the real world to grant Hatake Kakashi power because he had once been the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.
As Izayoi said, the Ten-Tails' chakra was the final piece of the puzzle.
After the essence of his chakra was sublimated, Izayoi would be able to use Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack as long as his chakra control met the requirements.
And now, Izayoi had the conditions to upgrade his chakra control, but he chose not to.
He found an alternative path, using the creative power of his Chakra Orbs to create the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.
And the facts proved Izayoi right.
The creative power of Chakra Orbs, like Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's Sword of Nunoboko, was an incredibly absurd thought-powered ability.
As long as the idea was bold and the ability existed, Chakra Orbs, theoretically like the Sword of Nunoboko, could both create and destroy worlds.
Moreover, due to Sage Body (Rainbow), Izayoi's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack and the previous air cannon were not merely Kekkei Mōra, but also Six Paths Senjutsu.
After all, Izayoi's 130 trillion cells contained natural energy, and the chakra extracted was senjutsu chakra.
Both of these abilities were precisely capable of harming the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.
It was only natural that Uchiha Madara, hit by this strike, would suffer greater damage than from the Sword of Nunoboko.
After landing a hit and successfully immobilizing Uchiha Madara, Izayoi used Yomotsu Hirasaka to appear above Uchiha Madara. Then, clapping his hands together, he released a large number of golden-yellow orbs of light.
These orbs circled to form strings of beads, then rapidly expanded in volume and spun at high speed, eventually forming golden-yellow light rings.
Immediately after, these light rings all transformed into golden-yellow light pillars, roaring down towards Uchiha Madara.
With just one move, Izayoi successfully combined the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack with the 'Evening Elephant,' embodying both external and internal destructive power, much like the combination of Gentle Fist and Strong Fist.
Immobilized, Uchiha Madara had no time to manipulate his Truth-Seeking Orbs for defense, nor time to self-detonate them. He could only watch helplessly as countless light pillars roared down.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The light pillars engulfed Uchiha Madara, then fell to the earth without hesitation.
From a distance, it appeared as if massive golden-yellow bolts of lightning were striking the earth.
Violent tremors and explosions seemed to reverberate across the entire ninja continent, audible even in several surrounding large nations.
Unfortunately, the only observers were Black Zetsu, the unconscious Impure World Reincarnation army, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who was hidden somewhere unknown.
