Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 308

"The bones of beasts, spires, red crystals, and steel wheels are scattered like stars in the sky. When they move, they are like the wind; when they stop, they are like the void. The sound of spears clashing against each other fills the void city!"

"Hado Raihou Cannon!"

The chanting was accompanied by a massive pillar of lightning that swept across the area.

Even after the beam of light had passed, the somewhat ethereal chanting, accompanied by the sound of thunder, arrived in a daze.

A huge gap was revealed in the body of a Hollow as it was pierced by the beam of light. Under the horrified gazes of Hiruko and the others, the Hollow's body began to disintegrate into black particles, cascading onto the ground like a black stream, and shattering into pieces!

Vanished without a trace!

"This is?"

Hiruko and the others were clearly shocked by this sudden scene. They had not expected that the other side would possess such amazing ninjutsu!

No, it shouldn't be called ninjutsu!

This destructive power far exceeds ninjutsu, and even rivals or surpasses the legendary sage techniques!

At least in Black Zetsu's eyes, the destructive power of this technique was comparable to that of the powerful figures he remembered from the past thousand years.

The magnificent and dazzling beam of light, in particular, made him feel uneasy and threatened, giving him a sense of impending doom.

That's a technique that targets the soul, or rather, a technique that counters all Yin-style ghosts and spirits!

Black Zetsu even suspected that even the so-called immortal remnant reincarnated a thousand years ago, sealed by the Land of Demons, could severely injure or even truly kill the opponent!

As long as the power is strong enough!

The user of this technique was not Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, but rather Yahiko Amekage, whose strength in the ninja world was somewhat obscure!

This turn of events was beyond his expectations.

"impossible!"

Hiruko found it somewhat absurd to see one of the Hollows he had summoned die in the blink of an eye. He knew better than anyone how resilient and difficult these Hollows were!

The ninjutsu and techniques of ninjas are extremely ineffective against the steel-like skin and super-fast regeneration of these Hollows. Only ninjas of the Kage level from the five great ninja villages can inflict any damage on the Hollows.

But to kill a Hollow in one blow like this is simply impossible! Even Hiruko, the Tsuchikage, believed that it was impossible to completely annihilate a Hollow so easily with Dust Release.

After all, he had verified that Hollows could withstand the Tailed Beast Balls spewed out by the Three-Tails without dying!

"Nothing is impossible! When it comes to understanding and researching Hollows, you can't compare to Konoha's Shikaku and Orochimaru!"

Although I don't know how you manipulate the Hollow to fight for you, it just so happens that because I was saved and transformed by Lu Nie, I possess a part of my soul, or rather, power that is similar to the Hollow's.

As Yahiko spoke, under the protection of Kakuzu and Nagato, he swiftly and decisively eliminated another Hollow. In an instant, only one Hollow remained.

The inexplicable heavy pressure in the air was greatly relieved at this moment with the death of the two Hollows.

The Rinnegan also possesses the ability to communicate with souls, and even to deal with souls, so Nagato was able to handle the soul form of the Hollow with ease.

Although it wasn't as lethal as his attack, even without him, Nagato could have dealt with this Hollow on his own using the Rinnegan.

"It seems the plan is going to end before it even began."

In an instant, Uchiha appeared beside Black Zetsu. If he could, he would naturally want to continue fighting. However, he was no longer the young man he once was, especially given the rapidly changing situation. The enemy had only sent three people, yet they had already ruined their plans.

While the inexplicable leak of intelligence was certainly a contributing factor, the fundamental reason was that the strength of the three Nagato members on the other side exceeded their expectations.

It's not surprising that Nagato, as the administrator of the Rinnegan, possessed such strength; he also took on a considerable amount of attacks from Nagato and Hiruko at the beginning of the battle.

However, Kakuzu and Yahiko's performance far exceeded their expectations.

Leaving aside Kakuzu's past as a bounty hunter, his multiple combined bloodline limit directly caused Hiruko, who had mastered the Oni-Garaku technique, to break through his defenses. In Kakuzu, he seemed to see another form of himself.

As for Yahiko, the technique that instantly killed two Hollows just now left them both feeling a sense of dread. At least Uchiha Setsuna suddenly lost much of his confidence in his Susanoo technique, which he had always believed in.

Strictly speaking, his Susanoo's defensive and destructive power is no stronger than the Hollow summoned by Hiru. Since the Hollow in its soul form can be countered, Susanoo, which combines ocular power and Yin Release, is also countered.

"Damn it! If only I could summon those Hollows in Amegakure..."

Black Zetsu understood Setsuna Uchiha's meaning, but even now, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss. If the battlefield were in Amegakure, the three opponents would definitely be restrained and could use any means necessary to force Nagato to hand over the Rinnegan.

However, the inexplicable leak of intelligence ultimately caused the entire plan to fail.

"Let's go. If there's really no other way, we'll have to resort to our last resort." Black Zetsu wasn't discouraged. After all, he had endured and been disappointed countless times over the past thousand years, and he had plenty of time to wait.

Even if it doesn't work this time, even if Nagato could never obtain the Rinnegan while he was alive, we can wait until after his death.

Especially since the Uchiha clan still exists, and although the Senju clan is no longer powerful, they still have bloodline limits. The worst-case scenario is simply repeating their past actions.

But what he had no shortage of was time, and what he lacked most was also time. After all, a thousand years had passed since his birth, and according to the information his mother left him, the Otsutsuki clan might be coming to investigate around this time.

"Should we summon Lord Madara? But the Edo Tensei technique is not yet perfect, and the Madara we summon might not be at his peak strength."

Uchiha Setsuna naturally knew what Black Zetsu meant by the final measure. It was the last measure Madara left them before his death.

That is the Impure World Reincarnation, summoning him out so that he can sweep away everything.

Madara Uchiha knew the principles and hand seals of this forbidden technique created by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. However, the reanimated bodies summoned by this technique were too weak and could only serve as cannon fodder, so they were not of interest to him.

However, on his deathbed, in order to deal with the worst-case scenario, Madara still thought of this forbidden technique and gave it, along with some of the improvement methods, to Uchiha Setsuna. This was so that if the worst-case scenario occurred, Black Zetsu and Uchiha Setsuna could use the Impure World Reincarnation to summon him from the Pure Land and personally carry out the plan.
