Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 257 The Final Battle (Part 2)

"This is..."

The sky suddenly darkened, and two figures attacked in an instant, which immediately stunned the ninjas on the ground.

When they saw the huge meteorites that suddenly appeared in the sky, they were all stunned.

"Are you kidding me?"

"How can we possibly block this?"

"We're doomed."

Countless ninjas were either completely stunned or terrified at this moment, or simply staring blankly at the sky.

The sight of such a dense array of enormous meteorites emerging one by one, completely covering the entire area, filled everyone with despair!

They had encountered moves like "Heavenly Obstruction Star" before, and many of them had even practiced similar combinations to deal with it.

As it turned out, it was all pretty good, but only pretty good; being able to handle a falling meteorite was barely manageable.

But at this moment, no one can say for sure how many meteorites are in the sky. Once these meteorites fall, this area will be completely destroyed!

Anyone who is in this area will likely meet the same fate.

"Oh no, how did it turn out like this?"

As Minato watched the meteorites falling from the sky, his expression turned grim.

"That damn madman"

In the distance, Madara and Hashirama had just killed Momoshiki when they suddenly noticed a change in the sky. When they looked up, they realized that...

Their expressions changed drastically at that moment, as they could better sense just how powerful the energy of these meteorites in the sky truly was.

They knew very well that once such a dense barrage of meteorites fell, it wouldn't just be this area that would be destroyed; the entire ninja world would be affected!

"this"

Tobirama Senju stared blankly at the meteorite in the sky, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"What kind of monsters are these? No wonder my brother was convinced I couldn't get involved."

Uchiha Izuna also looked helpless; no normal person could handle such an attack.

"Teacher, it seems our battle will have to come to a temporary end."

In the distance, Nagato and Konan stood together, cautiously watching Tsunade and Jiraiya opposite them.

However, they had no will to fight anymore. Looking at the dense meteorites in the sky, anyone would have been unable to continue fighting.

They were also a bit bewildered; how did things get so out of control?

Are those so-called Otsutsuki starting to really go berserk?

Upon realizing this, they were truly unable to stand still. After exchanging a glance, they instantly transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the distance.

In this situation, an ordinary person would have desperately tried to run outside, but they did the opposite.

"Xiao Nan, you..."

Nagato quickly headed forward, only glancing at Konan beside him before he finally couldn't help but speak. However, before he could finish speaking, Konan interrupted him.

"There's no escaping it. Instead of letting it drag on, why not go and see if there's anything we can do?"

Konan's words left Nagato speechless for a moment, but he eventually nodded.

He could tell from this scope and scale that the entire ninja world might be affected!

Since that's the case, why not go over and do something within your power? But soon he suddenly laughed.

"Minami, it is the greatest blessing of my life to be able to become friends with you and Yahiko."

"Isn't this mine too?"

Xiao Nan smiled and shook her head, then looked ahead and spoke softly.

"Besides, we're not entirely without hope. Don't forget that Hokage, Hagoromo, is still fighting desperately."

As soon as she finished speaking, Konan froze. Not only her, but also Nagato, Jiraiya, and Tsunade, who had rushed over with her, were stunned.

The Akatsuki members who had long been hidden on the battlefield, as well as Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji, and all the ninjas present were somewhat dazed.

Their gazes were somewhat dazed as they stared at the horizon—

"you"

High in the sky, Isshiki stared at Yuu with a ferocious expression. He really wanted to see what would happen to this kid after his "only weakness" was defeated.

Since he's unwilling to cooperate, and this guy's strength is ridiculously high, and I have no way to escape, then I might as well destroy everything he cares about!

Since I'm not having a good time, then you shouldn't expect to be comfortable either!

However, at this moment, for some reason, Yi Shi suddenly felt something was wrong; the aura of the person in front of him seemed to have subtly changed.

But under his disapproving gaze, he seemed to have found some clues.

This guy

"His life level has been elevated once again? Impossible! How is this possible? He has no fruit, he has not devoured any life, how could he..."

That feeling from the bottom of his heart, and everything he saw, made it all seem incomprehensible to Ichishi.

The elevation of one's life level is the key to the evolution of the Otsutsuki, and it is essential for the Otsutsuki to move towards becoming the "God of Otsutsuki".

How did he do that?

How did he do it?

That aura, that immense chakra, is something that cannot be concealed or lied about!

"Are you ready? Now the real work begins."

Just then, Yuzhi's aura stabilized, and that boundless natural power permeated the universe. He then spoke.

"What are you saying, brat!"

Yishi's expression changed slightly, and the sense of crisis seemed to become even more pronounced.

"I'm saying..."

As Haori's gaze became completely fixed on Isshiki, her Rinnegan began to spin.

Gradually, these tomoe began to split and then spread out on the clusters of 'rings' in the Rinnegan.

As the nine magatama fully coalesced, Hagoromo's aura reached its peak, and in an instant, the power of time spread out.

This kind of time control instantly slowed down the speed at which the meteorites fell from the sky!

If he focused solely on dealing with these meteorites, destroying and eliminating them, Yuzhi could definitely do it now. However, he had something else on his mind right now.

"Are you ready?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yugi rushed to Isshiki's side in an instant. His speed seemed to have completely transcended the constraints of time. All he wanted to do now was kill Isshiki!

"Damn it, die!"

It seemed that Isshiki was enraged by Yuori. He moved and swung the black staff in his hand at Yuori.

However, at this moment, time seemed to be completely under control, and Yuzhi dodged the attack of the black stick without any effort.

Immediately afterward, he threw a punch, and before the opponent could even react, he was sent flying!

The massive vortex instantly threw everything into chaos, and even the void itself seemed unable to withstand the overflow of energy.

Countless spaces collapsed, revealing pitch-black cracks that resembled black holes.

Without pausing after doing all this, Yuzhi's body vanished once again the instant he was sent flying backward.

boom!

The earth trembled violently, and countless cracks spread rapidly outwards. The giant axe in Yi Shi's hand shattered, and he was sent flying backwards once again!

"What exactly is going on?"

Yi Shi was completely stunned; he was truly bewildered.

He couldn't understand why this guy in front of him had suddenly become so exaggerated.

He couldn't understand why Yuzhi's aura suddenly went berserk, why this guy's life force suddenly surged, or what secret this guy was hiding.

His resistance now appears unusually weak; indeed, his current situation can only be described as resistance.

He had already been suppressed by Yuzhi into a "turtle", and could only passively defend, but Yuzhi was unable to break through.

But now, this guy's attack power has increased even more significantly.

That combination of technique and physical skill, that attack filled with the power of nature, the power of time, and even the power of space, was truly beyond his tolerance.

Under such an offensive, Yi Shi was completely forced to retreat, and he even had difficulty defending!

"No! Impossible!"

With a roar, he swung his black staff again, but this time Yuzhi made no attempt to dodge.

The black staff struck Yuzhi's body as if hitting thin air, but Yuzhi's attack arrived the next moment.

The terrifying speed at which the blade was swung sent chills down Yi Shi's spine. He clearly sensed that the blade contained not only the power of nature but also the power of time.

This guy is using the power of time to accelerate himself!

"His childhood name is Bikanna!"

At the critical moment, Isshiki used his eye technique again to barely avoid the blade of Haori, but the next instant he suddenly felt that his surroundings were frozen.

Then Yu Zhi swung his sword again, and this time he felt that the space around him was locked, making it difficult for him to dodge!

hum-

The violent roar even caused the space itself to distort dramatically, and in the next instant, a shockwave appeared and slammed heavily onto the ravaged earth.

With a deafening roar, a massive crater, over a kilometer in diameter, appeared on the ground.

"Is this the power of the haori?"

Countless ninjas dodged the endless energy fluctuations while staring blankly at the scene before them.

Watching the surging streaks of light and the meteorite whose descent speed was clearly suppressed, they were all numb.

Many people even died from the aftershocks of the battle between Hagoromo and Isshiki, but they still stared blankly.

Their mouths were agape, because they had never imagined they would witness such a scene; it truly exceeded their wildest expectations.

The Hagoromo is already a legend in the ninja world, there is no doubt about that, and everyone knows how strong he is.

Madara Uchiha, who single-handedly and seemingly casually defeated a large ninja force, was clearly no match for Haori.

However, they really didn't understand their true destructive power, or rather, the destructive power that Yuzhi could cause when she was completely serious.

But now they seem to have realized something, looking at the torn earth and the apocalyptic scene before them.

Such a person could completely destroy the entire world single-handedly!

"Everyone, now is not the time for sentimentality!"

Just as everyone was stunned, Minato Namikaze came to his senses and looked at the battle that seemed like that of gods.

He glanced again at the roaring Ten-Tails and the meteorite in the sky that, although slowed down, was still falling continuously, and then he snapped out of his daze and shouted loudly.

"The battle is not over yet, the Ten-Tails has not been destroyed, and meteors are still falling. Now is not the time to relax!"

I know we are now in dire straits. Whether it's the Ten-Tails, the aftershocks of the Hokage's battle, or a meteor from the sky, they could easily take our lives.

But we can't escape at all. No one can avoid such a range, and we can't escape either. With so many meteorites falling, the entire ninja world will be affected!

For the sake of the villagers, for the sake of our families, we must pull ourselves together and eliminate the current hidden dangers!

We must fight for ourselves and our families!

Minato's voice wasn't loud, especially amidst the Ten-Tails' roar and the battle between Haori and Isshiki, it sounded even weaker.

But with the help of chakra and Yamanaka Inoichi, all the ninjas present could still hear it clearly.

At that moment, all the ninjas woke up and slowly raised their heads to look at the sky.

The meteorite was still falling and was not far from them. Its immense force and extreme pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.

Beside these meteorites, they could actually observe with the naked eye the obvious traces of the power of time, and it was this power that was preventing the meteorites from falling faster.

These meteorites are only slowed down by the power of time, but their power will probably not change in the slightest.

At that moment, the ninjas' gazes hardened.

Indeed, perhaps only a very small number of them will survive, but no matter what, they have to give it their all!

It's not for anything else, but at least they have to fight for their homes, their families, and even for the ninja world.

Perhaps their power is indeed no match for someone like Yuzhi, who is practically a 'god'; perhaps they are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the powerful.

But no matter what, they have to do something, they absolutely have to do something!

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Just as they made up their minds, a giant wooden figure suddenly appeared on the ground.

The wooden figure leaped up and punched a meteorite with a powerful blow, while the wooden dragon on the other side also crashed into a meteorite.

"Susanoo!"

The moment the wooden figure appeared, a giant blue Susanoo also appeared beside it, and Susanoo soared into the air and struck the meteorite.

"Hashirama, let's see who can defeat the most!"

"Let's go then!"

Madara and Hashirama exchanged a glance, and their movements quickened. As they made their move, giant toads, slugs, and giant snakes appeared one after another.

"It really brings back memories."

Orochimaru stood on the giant snake, looking at Tsunade and Jiraiya beside him. He licked his lips and chuckled in a hoarse voice.

"You idiot, you've brought Hanzo into this mess for us. How boring."

Jiraiya smiled, but kept complaining.

"Let's get started, stop with the nonsense."

Looking at the densely packed meteorites, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh.

"It's pathetic that I have to die alongside you two idiots. God is so unfair."

"Maybe I won't die, and I might even resurrect you all."

Orochimaru smiled nonchalantly, but his smile faded slightly as he looked at the two people in front of him.

"Don't die easily, because I might be unlucky too, so be careful."

"You don't need to tell me."

Jiraiya smiled nonchalantly, looking earnestly at the meteorite in the sky.

"Even if I die, I'll die before you. I'll protect you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiraiya entered Sage Mode and leaped towards the meteorite with Gamabunta in tow.

"What an idiot, do I need your protection?"

Tsunade shook her head dismissively, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"Let's go, slug!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

"Well then, it's time for me to take action."

Orochimaru looked at the two of them and couldn't help but lick his lips slightly.

"I really miss it; it's been so long since I felt this way!"

Thinking to himself, Orochimaru also charged out, not to be outdone. The feeling of the three of them fighting side by side truly made him feel exceptionally happy.

Even though he knew that this time, things probably wouldn't go well for anyone.

"Kakashi, this is the final burst of youth!"

Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up; his teeth were still bright white.

"Perhaps we can't reach the heights of the haori, but we can still have a good competition and see who can shatter more!"

"Okay, let's do it then."

Kakashi's eyes turned into crescent moons, and then he looked behind him. Rin, Asuma, Chiba, and the others were all there, their gazes also fixed on the sky.

Moreover, at this moment, they were all ready, which made Kakashi's heart begin to stir.

"Although the outcome is unpredictable, the process itself might be enjoyable!"

The next moment, Kakashi led everyone forward, quickly forming hand seals and using ninjutsu to attack the meteorites in the sky.

Mei Terumi and the other members of Kirigakure followed early on, while Gaara continuously used Magnet Release: Yellow Sand to attack the meteorite.

In an instant, all sorts of dazzling lights appeared in the sky, formed by the convergence of countless ninjutsu techniques.

"hateful."

On the other side of the battlefield, Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji dodged and destroyed the meteorites while attacking the Ten-Tails.

They all knew the situation was bad, but none of them relaxed.

But they were unusually silent at this moment, because they all knew how many people would die if things continued like this, and their hearts were filled with anger and resentment.

"Naruto, don't let this affect you."

Just then, Sasuke suddenly spoke up.

"Look, everyone is working hard and doing their job. We absolutely cannot hold them back!"

"But."

Naruto clenched his fists. He wanted to go to the rescue, but the Ten-Tails would definitely not be any easier than a meteor.

Once they leave, a single Tailed Beast Ball from the Ten-Tails could potentially inflict devastating damage on all the ninjas present, putting them in a difficult dilemma.

"No buts!"

Sasuke spoke loudly, his voice serious as he looked intently at the moment of preparation.

"Only by doing our own jobs well can we live up to everyone's expectations, to our father's expectations, and to everyone else's expectations!"

"If we focus on one thing and neglect the other, and the Ten-Tails gets away, don't you know what the consequences will be?"

At this point, Sasuke took a deep breath, ignoring Naruto beside him, and looked at Neji, who also had a serious expression.

"Neji, please, please make sure you keep him focused. This time, we must seal him away!"

After listening to Sasuke's words, the three of them remained silent for a moment before nodding in agreement. This was exactly what they needed to do right now!

"Um?"

But at that moment, they suddenly paused.

Then they saw a woman with long silver hair and covered in a white robe flying towards them—

Standing in mid-air, watching Yi Shi struggling to rise below, Yu Zhi remained silent, but her whole being was poised to strike.

He had done everything he could to slow the meteorite's descent, but he also knew that delaying was just that—delaying—and that time could not undo the damage caused by the meteorite.

The rewriting of relative time will become invalid the moment of landing. What he needs to do now is kill this guy, and...

Gouge out this guy's eyes!

You lost.

However, Isshiki got up at this moment, and when he looked at the haori in the sky, he suddenly smiled.

"Admittedly, I lost my battle against you, but I won against this world!"

At this point, Isshiki looked behind him, even though a large number of ninjas were attacking continuously, and even though Hashirama and Madara had joined the battle.

However, these meteorites were a result of this guy's desperate efforts, and their sheer number and terrifying mass made them not so easy to stop.

boom--

boom--

boom--

A dense, deafening roar echoed across the land, and the shockwaves generated by that extreme power continued to sweep across the area. Even without turning his head to look, Yu Zhi could imagine the scene.

But such a roar could not stop the ninjas' furious shouts, nor could it stop their determination to charge towards the meteorites regardless of the consequences.

"Indeed, it looks like we've lost."

After a while, Yuzhi suddenly sighed, and at the same time, he slightly raised his hand, and the ninja sword in his hand suddenly revealed a terrifying power.

"But what I wanted to see also happened."

"Oh?"

Ichishiki gave Yuki a strange look; he didn't seem to care about life and death as much anymore.

"It seems you've become a qualified Otsutsuki. You don't care about the lives of those people at all?"

"Perhaps, but who can say for sure?"

Yuri held the blade slightly forward, and at the same time, a vast amount of chakra surged down from the sky!

He looked at the stance before him, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"That's the kind of will I want, the kind of will that dares to charge forward even in the face of intense challenges."

I want to see their mindset, their willingness to sacrifice their lives to protect their homeland.

This is exactly what I wanted to see, and what I longed for most. I have to say, I really want to thank you.

"If you hadn't worked so hard, I probably wouldn't have been sure they had this mindset."

As she spoke, the void began to tremble, and extreme radiance shone on Yuzhi's body. A terrifying aura had completely locked onto her!

"This is."

Isshiki stared incredulously at the haori floating in the sky, feeling a sense of threat to his life.

What kind of power is this?

How did this guy manage to control these powers so perfectly, given his strength and level of power?

Who exactly is this guy?

How was he able to do this?

A sense of despair began to envelop Isshi's heart. Time had locked him in place, as if he had been frozen in place by time, unable to move at all!

"But such a mindset and will are impossible to inherit, impossible to pass on easily!"

Seemingly sensing that he was truly heading towards his doom, Isshiki's gaze became slightly unfocused, and he tried his best to mock Haori.

"Everything is destroyed, everything has been destroyed by me. You didn't have that chance, and you never will!"

"Yes, everything may seem ruined."

Yuzhi nodded slightly, but he was now also caught up in a strange feeling.

As the tomoe in the Rinnegan turned slightly, a sense of the passage of time began to emerge.

As the number of rotations of the magatama increased, along with the aura of time, came a devastating explosion.

The forces of nature and his own power intertwined, becoming increasingly intertwined, and this intensified as he used his eye techniques.

For some reason, he could still hear the echoing sound of the river!

"This is."

At first, he thought he was imagining things.

But soon his eyes swept around and he was shocked to find that he could indeed see a river flowing around his body!

The river was ethereal and disorderly, seemingly devoid of any vitality, and it constantly exuded an aura of decay and decay.

As the river flowed on, Yuzhi seemed to have gained some insight.

"Is this what is meant by the true 'forces of nature,' the so-called 'rules of nature'?"

The forces of nature have always been there, but no one can say for sure how much they contain.

Countless people have come to believe they can change and control nature, but in the end they realize they have only discovered one manifestation of the "power of nature."

Those patterns and rules have always been there.

Whether you can discover or perceive it is another matter entirely.

Perhaps, we need to discover and explore everything about them, and only by immersing ourselves in them can we do so?

"But as I said, I want to thank you."

For some reason, Yuzhi's mood suddenly improved a lot.

The natural power contained within him flowed continuously through his body, and the rules of nature kept appearing before his eyes.

The river continued to flow, still silent, still filled with the aura of death and decay, but this aura had slowly spread to his blade!

"The Ten-Tails is a very good thing, and so are your eyes."

I'm sorry you can't see all of this, but I'm very grateful that you helped me do it all.

Just a friendly reminder, have you been paying attention to how the Ten-Tails is doing lately?

"Ten-Tails?"

Isshiki's eyes narrowed slightly; the woman who killed Urashiki had already appeared beside the Ten-Tails!

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but at that moment, the ninja sword in Yuzhi's hand slowly fell.

In an instant, time seemed to be severed, and the void seemed to shatter.

That boundless power instantly spread outwards, but eventually it coalesced again, transforming into a stream of light.

In an instant, all things fell silent, and time and space almost came to a complete standstill!

The swiftly devouring technique annihilates all power; time is frozen in this moment, and space is destroyed in this instant.

His mouth opened slightly, but he ultimately uttered no words. Yet, his life seemed to be cut off by time, utterly annihilated by this boundless power.
