Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 458 The Darkness That Envelops the World

Boom! Boom!

The earth-shaking roar echoed continuously through the ravaged capital of the Fire Kingdom.

Every movement of the eight-tailed bull demon's enormous body caused the earth to tremble, as it wielded its eight incredibly thick octopus tentacles, either strangling or slapping.

Engaging in combat was Burubi, whose body was covered in a dark red tailed beast cloak after entering a half-tailed beast form.

"Thunderbolt Blade!" Brubi roared, his hardened, bone-covered arm fiercely meeting the eight-tailed tentacle with a dull thud, the shockwave clearing away the surrounding ruins.

"You move as slowly as a turtle, with eight tentacles flailing around haphazardly! Hahaha, you're too slow!"

Silver Horn, who had also entered a semi-tailed beast state, moved around the massive body of the Eight-Tails, constantly slashing at its body with his Seven Star Sword, leaving cracks in its wake.

"Hey, you octopus bastard, where's your rap? Why did you stop? Are you scared out of your wits by me? Tell me something!" Silver Horn kept yelling.

However, Killer Bee, who had fully transformed into a tailed beast, remained unmoved by Ginkaku's verbal provocation.

“You… cough! Rebellious sinner, your words of provocation are too naive. I know my habits, I will not step into the door you have set.”

What Killer Bee uttered was not rap, but an unusually serious and even rigid tone: "I, Killer Bee, the Killer Bee of Kumogakure, am not a fool."

This strange way of speaking caused Silver Horn, who was swinging his sword, to pause slightly. Then, veins bulged on his forehead as he glanced at the "Yo" on the Seven Star Sword.

“Speak properly! Sing it! What kind of weird rhymes are you using?” he couldn’t help but curse.

"Your provocation is useless. You need to focus on the battle. Your verbal tricks should have ended long ago." Inside the Eight-Tails, Killer Bee responded in that awkward, serious, and rhyming tone.

At the same time, a tentacle lashed out like a giant whip at Brubi, who was trying to launch a sneak attack from the flank, forcing him back several steps.

boom!!

On the other side, the Three-Tailed Beast spewed out a powerful water cannon, while the half-tailed beast Kinkaku waved his banana leaf fan, unleashing a fierce burst of flames. The water and fire collided and exploded into a sky full of steam.

"Hahaha! The shark face has turned into a turtle!" Golden Horn continued to chatter as he fought, "Speak, speak! Did you tuck your head into your shell?"

"Yo~ Gold Horn and Silver Horn, Six Paths Ninja Tools, Golden Rope, Seven Star Sword, Red Gourd, Recording Words of Power, you want to absorb it~ You idiot, you bastard, I'm not buying this."

Within the fully transformed Three-Tails, Kisame's deep, hoarse voice rang out, mimicking Killer Bee's rapping style with a mocking and strange tone.

"..."

Killer Bee, who was not far away, paused for a moment, then said with a disdainful tone, "Shark Face, please stop. Your rhyming is a pain. The rhythm, the rhyme, and the flow are all subpar."

"You two bastards, are you playing us for fools?!" Golden Horn was so angry at these two guys that he almost vomited blood.

"Golden Horn! Golden Horn!" Silver Horn shouted as he was blasted to his side, "These two bastards found out about us! They're from the Nara and Yamanaka clans!"

Upon hearing this, Kinkaku abruptly turned his head to look at the distance, where Yamanaka Inoichi was sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and Nara Shikaku, who also had his eyes closed and his hand on his head.

The Golden Rope can extract the enemy's "Word of Power," the Seven Star Sword can sever the enemy's "Word of Power" and record it, and the Red Gourd can absorb and seal the target who uttered the "Word of Power."

If you remain silent for an extended period of time, the seal on the red gourd will be triggered.

Killer Bee, who was from Kumogakure, knew a little about this, while Kisame, a ninja from Kirigakure, knew nothing about it.

It was Nara Shikaku who wrote down all the information before the battle and informed Kisame and Shikaku of the abilities of the Six Paths Ninja Tools.

"Be careful to keep the Second Hokage occupied and don't give him a chance to use a large-scale Water Release ninjutsu!" Nara Shikaku's voice entered the minds of the two Yugitos and the Allied Shinobi Forces.

The next moment, without warning, countless fine yet incredibly sharp water needles condensed in the sky and poured down towards the area where the two Yugito were located!

Water Release: Heaven's Cry!

Boom!
The two wooden figures are like the most agile cats, leaping and darting among the broken walls and ruins, water needles brushing against the hem of their clothes and embedding themselves in the ground and walls, leaving small holes.

"Tch! They think that I'm the easiest to deal with since I'm injured, so they're sending Tobirama Senju to handle me?" She frowned as she looked at the white-haired figure not far away.

"Cover Lord Yugito!" a Jonin shouted, and several Allied Shinobi immediately launched an attack from the flank.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

Several ninjutsu attacks came from different angles at Tobirama Senju, attempting to interrupt his techniques and force him to defend. Tobirama Senju chose to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear at the kunai dozens of meters away.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

Maruboshi Kosuke, who had been waiting there, formed hand seals, and a massive torrent of water shot into the sky from the pool behind him, transforming into a ferocious water dragon that lunged at Senju Tobirama!

Tobirama Senju paused slightly, then praised, "Kosuke! Well done!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already completed the hand seals. In the waterless environment, a water dragon of no less impressive size rose from the ground and fiercely confronted Maruhoshi Kosuke's water dragon.

Bang!
The two water jets collided violently in the air, causing a burst of water droplets to explode, as if a torrential rain had fallen, with water flowing everywhere.

"Now!" The other allied ninjas simultaneously formed hand seals for Lightning Release ninjutsu and shouted, "Lightning Release: Gratitude Wave!"

"That's it, quick... Danzo!"

Just as Tobirama Senju's face lit up with joy as he watched the lightning spread along the water, his right eye revealed the Mangekyou Sharingan. He let out an angry growl and his hands moved uncontrollably to form hand seals.

Illusion Technique: Dark Travel!
hum!
Centered on Tobirama Senju, darkness instantly spread, engulfing the surrounding Allied Shinobi Forces and the two Yugitos, robbing them of their sight.

"It's the Second Hokage's Dark Travel Technique!"

"Be careful, don't move!"

"Back to back!"

The sudden darkness threw the allied ninjas into chaos, as the loss of sight was fatal for most of them.

They could only rely on their hearing and intuition, huddled together nervously back to back, wary of any deadly attack that might come from the darkness at any moment.

The two wooden figures also suddenly stopped in their tracks, drawing the strange longsword from behind them.

The sword's shape resembles a human spine with distinct segments, and faint blue arcs of electricity flicker and flow across its surface; it is the "God-Slaying Whip" obtained from the underground palace.

"Where?" The two wooden figures gripped the God-Slaying Whip tightly, scanning their surroundings warily like cats, their ears perked up, catching the slightest sound.

Just then, Nara Shikaku's urgent voice rang directly in her mind through Yamanaka Inoichi's secret technique.

"Yukito! Behind you!"

Almost simultaneously, the hairs on the two Yukito's bodies stood on end, and a chill emanating from their very instincts caused their expressions to change.

Without the slightest hesitation, upon hearing Nara Shikaku's warning, she twisted her waist sharply, and the God-Slaying Whip, which had shortened into a sword, blocked in front of her.

Before her, the darkness seemed to be torn open, and Tobirama Senju appeared, his kunai gleaming coldly, silently yet swiftly slashing towards her throat.

clang!!

The blade of the God-Slaying Whip clashed with the kunai, producing a crisp metallic clang, and sparks flashed briefly in the darkness.

However, at the very moment the parry was successful, Yugito caught a glimpse of another kunai passing by his side out of the corner of his eye, and that kunai was engraved with the Flying Thunder God mark.

"Not good!" Yugito's expression changed drastically. The next moment, Tobirama Senju in front of her vanished instantly, and a cold voice came from behind her: "Flying Thunder God Slash!"

puff!

The two Yugitos felt a chill on their backs, followed by a sharp pain that penetrated deep into their flesh.

A deep, bone-revealing bloodstain slashed diagonally from her right shoulder to her left waist, instantly appearing on her back, with blood spurting out.

"Roar!" Yugito staggered forward a few steps, feeling the attack coming from behind again. She let out a low roar, and the tailed beast chakra, like flames, erupted from her body.

boom!!

Her physical form changed; her nails became sharp, her entire body was covered in a tailed beast cloak like ghost fire, and two tails like burning flames grew from her back.

She entered a semi-tailed beast form, and her chakra temporarily suppressed her injuries.

Tobirama Senju was repelled by the sudden burst of chakra, but he clearly had no intention of giving her any chance to catch her breath. With a flicker of his figure, he was about to unleash the Flying Thunder God Technique again to deliver a fatal blow.

"I see you!" The two Yugito's vertical pupils flashed, and with the help of the night vision brought by her half-tailed beast transformation, she broke through the "Dark Travel Technique" that obscured her vision.

She let out a sharp shout, channeling chakra into the God-Slaying Whip in her hand. Instantly, lightning flashed, and arcs of electricity danced like countless lightning snakes, coiling around the whip. With a sudden flick of her wrist, she flung it out.

呲!
The God-Slaying Whip, originally shaped like a bone sword, extended and grew longer, transforming into a whip covered in lightning, tearing through the darkness and lashing towards Tobirama Senju in the distance.

"Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!"

Tobirama Senju formed hand seals, and a thick wall of water rose in front of him, attempting to block the unexpected whip strike.

Crack!
The God-Slaying Whip shattered the water array wall, its momentum undiminished amidst the splashing water, accompanied by crackling, ear-piercing arcs of electricity, instantly wrapping around Tobirama Senju's body.

Under the control of Kotoamatsukami, Tobirama Senju tried to break free by activating the Flying Thunder God Technique, but lightning-like stripes quickly spread from the whip to his entire body, sealing his chakra.

"What kind of ninja tool is this? It even has a sealing effect?" Tobirama Senju's face showed astonishment.

"Quick! Attack him!" the two Yugito shouted to the Allied Shinobi Forces ninjas who had just regained their sight from the "Illusion Technique: Dark Travel Technique".

Her shout instantly snapped everyone back to reality. They formed hand seals, and various ninjutsu techniques rained down from different directions on Tobirama Senju, who was bound by the "God-Slaying Whip"!

Boom! Rumble!
Various attacks struck Tobirama Senju squarely, turning his body into countless dust particles under the barrage of ninjutsu.

Several sealing squad ninjas rushed forward without hesitation, unfurling their sealing scrolls in preparation for sealing.

"Did it work?" Yugito knelt on one knee, panting, his tense nerves easing slightly.

However, just as she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look into the distance to check on Killer Bee and Kisame's situation.

it's dark.

"What?" Yugito's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously turned around to look at Tobirama Senju's position.

However, at this moment, Tobirama Senju's head had only regrown halfway, and his face showed surprise and doubt as he stared intently at the towering purple beam of light in the distance.

This is not the kind of darkness that deprives one of sight, like the "Illusion Technique: Darkness Technique".

It is darkness in the true physical sense.

In an instant, darkness enveloped the entire battlefield, swallowing the sky, the light, and everything else!
"What is this thing?" Alarm bells rang in Yu Muren's mind, and her beast-like instincts made her sense a threat.

puff!puff!puff!
Countless dark, viscous arms, seemingly composed of the purest shadows and malice, emerged without warning from the shadows beneath their feet.

"what!"

"What is that?!"

"Let me go!"

Exclamations and angry shouts rang out instantly.

Yugito Nii was no exception; several black hands grabbed her ankles and arms, and an icy, bone-chilling feeling instantly spread throughout her body. Her half-tailed beast cloak flickered intermittently.

The massive bodies of the Eight-Tails and the Three-Tails were also entangled by countless even thicker shadow arms. Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Brubi were not spared either, and were dragged into the darkness by the black hands amidst their cursing.

Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Maruboshi Kosuke... without exception, all the Allied Shinobi Forces ninjas.

"Hahaha! That's great, have more!"

"Monsters! They are the monsters!"

"Cut off their heads!"

The White Zetsu cried out in panic, while the cultists became even more excited, stirring up waves of blood in the pale crowd.

Severed limbs and mangled remains were scattered everywhere, quickly turning the ground dark red. Thick liquid pooled in the air, which was thick with an overwhelming stench of blood and madness.

"Ahhh!"

A piercing scream, so shrill it was inhuman, came from the air. Several cult members had their limbs bent at bizarre angles, their bodies suspended in mid-air like puppets being manipulated at will.

Their bodies were deeply cut by transparent, sharp steel wires that penetrated their flesh and even cut through their bones. Blood spurted out from the marks, turning them into blood-soaked figures.

"Hahaha! These toys are so fun to play with!"

Kushimaru Kurishari looked up at his work, his eyes gleaming with a cruel yet delighted light.

He gently tugged at the "long knife and sewing needle," tightening the wire once more, and laughed loudly, "Painful, aren't you? Helpless, aren't you? Desperate, aren't you? Shout a few more times, this sound is truly melodious!"

"Ah!!" The steel wire cut deeper into the bone, and the cultists' screams became more and more shrill as their limbs were brutally severed and fell to the ground.

Kushimaru listened with rapt attention, watching as the bodies shattered with a "crash," turning into a pile of unrecognizable pieces of flesh and blood scattered on the ground.

"Damn it, aren't you coming to help?!"

Not far away, Muli Shenba roared in great frustration.

Every time he swung his knife, it caused an explosion, but the cultists were not afraid of death at all. They even deliberately used their bodies to block the explosions, creating opportunities for their companions, which made him feel quite troubled.

Bang bang bang! !

Sharp ice spikes suddenly pierced out from the pool of blood beneath Wuli Shenba's feet, instantly locking his limb joints.

"What?!" Wu Li Shenba exclaimed in surprise, wielding his "Exploding Blade: Flying Drops" with a fierce swing, shouting, "Explode!!"

boom!
The explosion sent sparks and ice shards flying everywhere.

But in the next moment, a burly figure burst out from the still-lingering flames and icy mist, and Zabuza Momochi's cold, scarlet vertical pupils met his eyes.

"Damn it, you..." Wuli Shenba's expression changed instantly as he broke free from the ice spikes. In his haste, he could only raise his explosive blade to block in front of him.

clang!
Amidst the deafening clang of metal clashing, Muli Jinpachi was struck by the immense force, staggering backward and his tiger's mouth split open. Zabuza's sword momentum was not yet exhausted; with a flick of his wrist, the slash turned into a chop.

puff! !
