I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 778 Giving up and making a last-ditch effort both have the same worst outcome, so why not try again?

"Bang bang bang~"

With each palm strike, the chakra-constructed body of Susanoo deformed and cracked. Madara Uchiha stared angrily at Hashirama Senju atop the Buddha's head in the sky.

It turns out that Hashirama Senju's true form had already secretly left the underground.

The Rinnegan continuously devours ocular power to maintain Susanoo, but the already limited resources of the Impure World Body are now being overdrawn, which is rapidly shortening its lifespan.

"Click click click~"

Just like the cracks that kept appearing on Susanoo, cracks also kept appearing on Madara Uchiha's body, and even his Rinnegan had cracks.

However, similarly, after the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue unleashes a palm strike, that arm will also shatter completely, clearly indicating that it has reached its limit of strength.

"Bang bang bang~"

The Susanoo continued to shatter, and even the Susanoo controlled by Madara Uchiha's main body was transformed into countless chakra wadumbaras after hundreds of bombardments, filling the entire night sky.

At this moment, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin only had one hand left. Hashirama Senju stood on top of the Buddha's head, extending his right hand while his left hand grasped his right wrist, as if to help stabilize it.

In sync with Hashirama Senju's movements, Kannon Senju also extended her last hand and struck at Madara Uchiha, who was about to fall from the sky.

Along the way, lotus petals bloomed in my palm, layer upon layer of lotus flowers, like a lotus platform, but there was no sense of peace or tranquility.

Because each lotus platform is making circular motions at different speeds and in different directions, it looks like a multi-layered drill bit shaped like a lotus platform.

"Sage Art! Wood Release! Hridaya! Azure Lotus Hand!"

The giant hand landed on Uchiha Madara, and in an instant, the armor was torn off and rolled into the lotus platform, turning into dust and flying out, followed by Uchiha Madara's body.

The body was shredded into countless dust particles, rotating between restoration and obliteration, and pushed towards the edge of the barrier.

Watching this scene, Tatsuma sighed. As expected, in terms of Wood Release, he was still inferior to Hashirama Senju.

But he quickly understood the origin of this technique, which he believed was derived from the Blue Lotus Hand of the Thousand-Hand Guanyin.

If one wishes to be reborn in the Pure Lands of the ten directions, one should seek the blue lotus flower.

To put it bluntly, this ninjutsu was created with the determination to send Madara Uchiha back to the Pure Land.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha's Impure World Reincarnation body had reached its limit. If it could not withstand the consumption of this technique, then the Impure World Reincarnation body would completely collapse, and it would have to rely on a physical body. Madara Uchiha's soul would then have to return to the Pure Land.

Standing atop the Thousand-Armed Guanyin, the Thousand-Armed Pillar was filled with compassion, his eyes brimming with sorrow and mercy, as he endured the pain to continue performing the ritual.

"Mada!"

Hashirama Senju murmured, and the battered Madara Uchiha also struggled to open his eyes, looking at Hashirama, and murmured in the same voice, "Hashirama."

"boom!"

Pushed by the Buddha's hand, Madara Uchiha crashed into the edge of the barrier. The lotus platform almost pierced through Madara Uchiha's body, and the lotus petals were even cutting into the barrier.

"I'm not reconciled. I'm not reconciled!"

Through the gap in the lotus platform, Madara Uchiha raised his hands and formed hand seals.

He summoned the power of the tailed beast that he had been saving since his battle with Tatsuma, but instead of using this mottled and complex chakra, he...

"Reverse Spirit Communication Technique!"

"Moo~~~~"

Suddenly, a chilling roar echoed from afar, like a morning bell, sending a shiver down everyone's spine.

Tatsuma turned his head towards the direction from which the sound came, took a deep breath, and said, "The real trouble is coming."

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path... How did it become like this?!"

On another battlefield, Naruto watched the Gedo Mazo dancing wildly, his eyes falling on the nine eyes that the Gedo Mazo had suddenly opened, the pupils of which were now completely gathered together.

"It's the Ten-Tails."

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind, and Naruto immediately focused his attention on his spiritual world. Facing the solemn face of Kurama, he asked, "Kurama, what is the Ten-Tails?"

"The Ten-Tails, the old man of the Six Paths once said, the day the Ten-Tails is fully revived will be the day the world ends."

Upon hearing Kurama's words, Naruto seemed startled, his expression turning serious, and his voice even trembling slightly as he asked, "Just how powerful is the Ten-Tails?"

I can imagine it having ten tails, but what exactly is it?

"From the One-Tailed Beast to me, the aggregate of all the tailed beasts. He is the origin of chakra, the god of creation. The names of Tenmoku, Tatara, and Daitaiboshi were all His.

He could drink from the sea, split the earth, move mountains, and open rivers; he was almost omnipotent, and some call him the creator ancestor.

"From the One-Tailed Beast to your composite form? Even Kurama, who is only the Nine-Tailed Beast, is this strong. Just how strong is the Ten-Tailed Beast?"

Naruto looked somewhat dazed, finding it hard to imagine the Ten-Tails' strength. Kurama said:

"Anyway, it's stronger than me with an extra tail. To put it another way, I alone am completely no match for the Ten-Tails."

"Even so, we must defeat Him, won't we?"

Suddenly, another voice rang out. Naruto and Kurama looked over and saw Minato and the other half of Kurama. Minato's face was still sunny and confident as he looked at Naruto and said:

"Naruto, in a person's life, you will encounter many opponents, some stronger than you, some weaker than you, and some as powerful as the Ten-Tails, which is unimaginably strong."

Perhaps no matter how you look at it, we cannot defeat Him, but the worst outcome of giving up or fighting hard is the same: death.

"The choice is yours: to give up and die as a coward, or to fight honorably, shedding your last drop of blood to give others a glimmer of hope, and die like a hero."

As he spoke, Minato extended his fist toward Naruto, waiting for Naruto's response. Naruto stared blankly at his father, then grinned.

"Well said, Dad! The worst that can happen is death. If you don't even have the courage to face your enemies, how can you possibly become Hokage?"

I will become a better Hokage than you!

"I believe it."

"My ninja way is to speak my mind and keep my word! I won't die here. I will defeat the Ten-Tails, gain everyone's approval, and become Hokage!"

As if to encourage himself, Naruto shouted loudly in his mental world, and then stretched out his fist towards Minato.

The father and son both wore the same smile, and so did the two heads and nine tails at this moment.

"boom!"

Outside, Naruto's golden chakra aura surged, transforming into an outer garment that draped over his body. He looked at the Gedo Mazo, which was enveloped by a red chakra barrier, glanced at Minato who had landed beside him, and nodded.

"Dad, Kurama, let's fight together!"

"roar!"

Two golden nine-tailed foxes appeared, their mouths opening to continuously gather positive and negative chakra.

"Damn it! You idiot! How could you forget Killer Bee at a time like this?!"

Killer Bee rose up and transformed into the Eight-Tails' bull tail, with positive and negative chakra gathering in his mouth. The chakra of the three merged, and an enormous, fiery red Tailed Beast Ball gradually took shape.

In the distance, on the ground, Obito, his body mottled and patched with white stripes of flesh, shook his head, looking at the three with disdain, and said:

"It's no use, this world is ending!"

"Let's fight first and talk later!"

Naruto roared, and a huge Tailed Beast Ball was unleashed, blasting towards the red barrier.

"boom!!!"
