Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 278 The Mighty Susanoo (Part 2)

After the enormous nine-tailed fox pierced through the top floor of the palace, the group initially thought they would fall to the ground. However, they soon discovered that they seemed to have followed the nine-tailed fox to the surface of a planet. The huge blue planet not far away clearly indicated that they were indeed on the moon.

Not long after, the ground on another part of the moon also cracked open, and a bizarre statue even larger than the Nine-Tailed Fox rose from the ground.

"This is... So this thing was on the moon?" Kurama froze on the spot the moment it saw the statue. After all, this thing could be considered, strictly speaking, their tailed beast's... placenta?
However, before the Nine-Tails could be stunned for long, the giant Gedo Mazo had already raised its hand and attacked the Nine-Tails.

The Outer Statue's skin had an ominous bluish-gray sheen, and crimson light emanated from the gaps in its nine tightly closed eyes. Its enormous mouth opened and closed, emitting a silent roar that shattered the surrounding floating rocks.

"Give up, you ninja world insects," Toneri hovered above the golem's head, his voice directly entering their minds, carrying a cold detachment and absolute confidence. "The Earth's chakra, along with these eyes, will be the cornerstone of the new world. Your power is utterly insignificant before the creation of our ancestors."

"Enough nonsense! Give Hanabi's eyes back!" Naruto roared, and the golden Nine-Tails chakra erupted instantly. He clasped his hands together, condensing a huge Tailed Beast Ball, which blasted towards the golem with a destructive aura.

However, faced with this ferocious attack, the Gedo Statue simply raised its massive arm, and the bandage-like substance wrapped around the arm instantly hardened, forming a giant shield.

boom--! ! !
A deafening explosion erupted on the lunar surface, the shockwave hurling countless lunar particles.

As the smoke cleared, only a few scorch marks remained on the golem's arm shield; its body was completely unharmed! It hadn't even taken a single step back.

"What?!" Naruto's pupils contracted.

"Roar—!" The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path let out a silent roar, its enormous hand slamming down with a speed completely disproportionate to its size! The massive nine-tailed creature, its four limbs tumbling to the ground, barely managed to dodge, leaving a bottomless crater in its wake.

The battle instantly intensified. The enormous nine-tailed fox roared as it charged towards the demonic statue, its claws tearing through the air as it unleashed a barrage of Tailed Beast Balls. However, under Toneri's masterful control, the Gedo Mazo displayed terrifying power and defense. Its arms were like towering pillars, each block causing the nine-tailed fox's body to tremble violently. The chakra beams it spewed from its mouth were agile and cunning, constantly tearing at the nine-tailed fox's chakra cloak. Furthermore, several enormous chakra chains extended from its back, coiling around the nine-tailed fox like giant pythons.

"You nuisance, die!" Sheren's voice was completely calm.

Several chakra chains had firmly bound Kurama's limbs and neck! The chains exerted a terrifying suction force, frantically drawing out Kurama's chakra!

"Ughhhhhh—!" Naruto and Kurama roared in agony simultaneously. Kurama's massive body was forcibly restrained by chains, dragged bit by bit towards the golem's gaping maw. A chaotic and terrifying ball of chakra energy condensed within the golem's mouth, aimed directly at the bound Kurama!
"Naruto!" Although Sasuke was blind, he could still clearly sense that Naruto's chakra and life force were rapidly draining away.

"Almost there, faster!" Sasuke endured the excruciating pain and channeled Sage Chakra into his eyes to accelerate the fusion of the two ocular powers!

In that instant, it was as if some kind of shackles had been broken!

puff!

The excruciating pain in his eyes reached its peak, and Sasuke ripped off the white cloth covering his eyes, blood streaming down his cheeks.

However, the flowing blood seemed to carry a strange power. The original Mangekyou Sharingan patterns in Sasuke's pupils completely disappeared, replaced by a new, more complex, more profound, and eternally powerful pattern—the two Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, sharing the same bloodline, completely merged at this moment.

A powerful force of light surged forth, so strong that it caused the space itself to tremble slightly!

"What... kind of power is that?" Even Sheren was slightly surprised, and his movements as he controlled the golem paused slightly.

"Drink—!" Sasuke roared, and the pattern of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun eerily in his left eye!

"Martial Hammer!"

Black, seemingly quiet lightning, yet possessing the power to annihilate everything, descended from nowhere onto the chakra chains binding the Nine-Tails! The chains, devoured by this black lightning, silently began to crumble!
"Naruto! Now!" Sasuke's voice carried an unprecedented power.

The Nine-Tails, having broken free of its restraints, let out a deafening roar, and its accumulated power exploded instantly!

"Susanoo!" Sasuke's chilling voice rang out at that moment.

A layer of purple armor slowly emerged from the surface of the golden nine-tailed fox's body, until it completely enveloped the nine tails. The nine tails' figure also suddenly grew taller, and a long sword wrapped in black lightning appeared in the nine tails' hand.

"This feeling... it's been a long time since I've felt this way." Nine-Tails looked at the long sword in his hand and grinned. He had experienced this feeling of power before, but the memory of that time wasn't very pleasant. This time, he could finally have a good fight.

The Nine-Tails, clad in purple armor, moved! With a single step, the moon's surface shattered! A massive chakra katana, carrying an aura of world-destroying destruction, tore through the vacuum and slashed down fiercely towards the mountain-like Gedo Mazo!

Under Toneri's control, the Gedo Mazo roared, crossed its arms, and formed the strongest chakra barrier in an attempt to block.

Boom boom boom——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
An indescribable, terrifying collision erupted! The purplish-gold blade light clashed violently with the bluish-gray barrier, and the resulting energy storm instantly swept across the entire battlefield, crushing the suspended giant stone sphere into dust! The lunar surface resembled a lake tossed with boulders, unleashing towering waves of lunar debris!
The stalemate lasted only a moment!
Click!

Faced with the absolute power of the fusion of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Nine-Tails' chakra, the Gedo Mazo's seemingly indestructible defensive barrier developed its first crack! Immediately afterward, the crack spread rapidly like a spiderweb!
"Break for me!!!" Naruto and Sasuke roared in unison.

The purple-gold chakra blade shone brightly, shattering the barrier as easily as splitting rotten wood, and slammed heavily into the massive body of the Gedo Mazo!
"Roar--!!!"

The demonic golem let out a deafening scream of pain. Its massive body was cleaved backward by the blow, leaving a deep, bone-revealing gash on its chest from which dark blue blood gushed out like a waterfall! The golem's head shook violently beneath Toneri's feet, almost knocking him off!
The situation was reversed in an instant!

"Damn it! You ninja world's insects!" After regaining his footing, Toneri spat out a mouthful of blood. The Gedo Mazo was severely damaged, and he, the one who provided it with chakra power, also suffered a huge backlash. "Since that's the case, then let's all be buried with this sinful ninja world!" Toneri roared, a hint of madness flashing in his eyes. Pale blue chakra erupted, and the surface of the moon cracked further, with a huge Tenseigan slowly rising from the surface.

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Uchiha Touko, who was watching this scene through a telescope, narrowed his eyes, took out the Purple Ring that Nagato had given him, channeled chakra into it, and activated the Illusionary Body Technique.

Soon, two beams of light flashed past Uchiha Touko, and after the characters Zero and White flashed, phantoms of Nagato and Konan appeared in front of Uchiha Touko.

"Hokage, are you looking for me because of the meteorite attack on Konoha? If needed, I can come to Konoha right now," Nagato said.

"It's not because of that. A few meteorites are nothing to me," Uchiha Touko said. "I came to confirm one thing with you: is the Gedo Mazo still with you?"

“The Gedo Statue?” Nagato was taken aback. “That thing has always been kept in our Akatsuki’s underground base.”

"Alright, I understand." Uchiha Touko nodded, then looked up at the moon. So, the one fighting Naruto and Sasuke on the moon right now is probably the Gedo Mazo in Isshiki's hands. In other words, Isshiki must have already made contact with Toneri on the moon.

Uchiha Touko thought for a moment, then got up and headed towards the clan's shrine in Nakagawa. It was time to use this news to scare Old Deng into giving him more gold coins.

……

After the giant Tenseigan formed by the fusion of countless Byakugan rose up, the ocular power inside resonated with the Tenseigan in Toneri's eyes, which was evolving using the special ocular power given to him by Isshiki Otsutsuki. One by one, Byakugan rose from the giant Tenseigan and converged around Toneri and the Gedo Mazo, quickly transforming into an indescribable monster.

"Those... are all Byakugan?" Naruto turned to Hinata, who was taking care of the unconscious Neji, and asked.

"I can feel it, those are Byakugan," Hinata said.

"Is Neji still not awake?" Sasuke asked, turning around at that moment.

Meanwhile, in a virtual space, Neji kept walking forward, and everything he had encountered before was constantly being replayed around him.

However, these sights did not slow Neji down in the slightest; Neji strode forward expressionlessly.

"Eh." At that moment, a sigh suddenly came from behind Neji, and everything around him vanished like a bubble, then transformed.

Neji looked up and surveyed his surroundings, discovering that he had entered a strange space. He was standing on a wet puddle, and a divine figure holding a long staff floated in front of him.

"Greetings, my descendant." The person in front of Neji spoke first.

"Who are you?" Neji narrowed his eyes, looking at the person who had suddenly appeared in front of him with some wariness.

"My name is Ōtsutsuki Hamura," the person in front of Neji said slowly.

……

After the Byakugan of the giant Tenseigan surged into the body of the Gedo Mazo, a strange change began. The huge wound on the Gedo Mazo's chest healed and regenerated at a visible speed in the azure light! But the healed skin was no longer bluish-gray, but covered with a layer of translucent azure crystals, similar to the material of the Tenseigan!
The golem's size expanded wildly within the pillar of light, becoming a full size larger than before, and its body began to proliferate and twist irregularly! Its original limbs became even thicker, and the joints even twisted in the opposite direction, growing new claws covered with hideous eyeballs! At the shoulder blades on its back, it suddenly tore open, and a pair of huge and twisted wings of light made of pure azure chakra emerged!

Even more chillingly, besides its original nine eyes fully opening and radiating an eerie light interwoven with scarlet and azure, cracks began to appear on its forehead, shoulders, chest, and even its newly grown wings! From these cracks grew countless white eyes of varying sizes, all shimmering with the same azure light! These eyes spun wildly, seemingly possessing independent will, greedily absorbing the power of the giant Tenseigan, emanating a suffocating sense of oppression and an indescribable eeriness.

At this moment, the Gedo Mazo has completely broken away from its original form and become an indescribable monster covered in azure crystals, growing wings of light and countless Tenseigan eyes, and radiating distorted spatial energy!

"Feel despair, ninja." Shiren's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, and he himself was enveloped in a dense layer of azure chakra, as if he had become one with the golem.

"Sasuke!" Naruto felt an unprecedented threat, the Nine-Tails' chakra roaring and boiling within his Susanoo armor. "This guy... he's become disgusting! But he's even stronger!"

"Watch out for those eyes!" Sasuke's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, and he could clearly see the terrifying ocular power and spatial fluctuations contained in those multiplied Tensei eyes.

"Roar—!" The Reincarnation Golem - Beast of the End let out a non-human roar, and the huge wings of light on its back suddenly flapped!
Boom!

There was no sound, but a visible, space-distorting, azure shockwave instantly spread out! Its speed far exceeded their expectations!
"You can't dodge! Defend!" Naruto and Sasuke were of one mind, and the massive arms of their Susanoo crossed in front of them, the purple-gold chakra armor bursting with dazzling light!

boom! ! !
The terrifying impact slammed into Susanoo's arms! Even with the power to cleave through a golem's defenses, Susanoo was propelled hundreds of meters backward by the sheer shockwave! Two deep furrows were carved into the lunar surface! Visible energy ripples and fine cracks appeared on the chakra armor!
"Such powerful strength!" Naruto and Sasuke gritted their teeth at the same time.

The attack has only just begun!
A giant Tensei Eye on the torso of the Reincarnation Golem suddenly locked onto the Armored Susanoo!

A blue light sword, far thicker and more refined than the one Sheren had used before, and imbued with the ability to tear through space, slashed down like divine punishment! Its speed was so great that it almost disregarded distance!

"Naruto!" Sasuke shouted, his left eye's power surging forth as if disregarding the cost, and black lightning rapidly gathering on the surface of the longsword in Kurama's hand.

At that moment, Naruto shouted and, together with Kurama, raised their longswords high and then slashed them down.
