Chapter 1011: Hao Tian Fist: Lao Ri!
Chapter 1011: Hao Tian Fist: Lao Ri!
"No wonder you're called the Shinobi World's Demon, your strength is truly terrifying!"
"But today, you will fall here!"
"And with my next strike, you will understand the might and invincibility of the Reiyo Country!"
...
Yamanaka's voice echoed across the battlefield, amplified by his chakra.
At this moment, he was completely on par with Madara in terms of strength, and he was also promoting the Reiyo Country.
Even with such formidable power, he was merely a member of the Reiyo Country, and not even among the strongest, which demonstrated the country's might.
Even with the Death Gate opened, he wasn't confident in defeating several members on his side.
Whether it was Tang Ping, Aikotsuki, Uzumaki Budou, or Isuzu, they were all targets he wasn't sure he could defeat.
Therefore, he had never feared Madara, the Six Paths-level powerhouse.
Their conversation made it clear to everyone on the battlefield that the next strike would decide the victor and seal their fates.
However, at this critical moment, some people didn't have the luxury of spectating; instead, they faced life-threatening crises.
For instance, Otsutsuki and A.
Facing the siege of numerous powerful Reiyo Country ninjas, they were in a precarious situation. Even though they were aware of the situation on the other side, they could only focus on their own battles.
It had to be said that they hadn't realized it before, but when the Suna and Kirigakure ninjas suddenly turned against the coalition, they understood how scarce the number of powerful ninjas in the coalition was.
It's not that there were none, but the number was pitifully small.
At the very least, even when added together, there were barely more than a handful, not even reaching double digits.
And among them, only A and Otsutsuki possessed Ultra-Kage-level combat strength; the others didn't even reach Pro-Kage level, showing how dire the situation was.
Originally, there was also Minato and Shima Immortal.
Unfortunately, due to the immense threat they posed, Tang Ping took them out with heavy hands, sending Uzumaki Budou and Hyuga Aikotsuki to dispatch them together.
If Minato had his precognition advantage, he would undoubtedly lament his luck in facing two peak Ultra-Kage ninjas.
Especially these two peak Ultra-Kage ninjas, who were not ordinary in the slightest.
One of them could challenge the Shinobi World's Demon and the God of Ninja, while the other even surpassed them, standing only a hair's breadth away from the Six Paths, and with the advantage of first strike, he could overpower even a Six Paths-level opponent.
The terrifying combination of these two powerful ninjas in a siege made his death highly dignified.
Although it wasn't as tragic as the original plot, the dignity of his death would only be greater.
Hmm, after the Reiyo Country unifies the Shinobi World, it wouldn't be surprising if Minato were to be recorded in history.
Compared to the Kumogakure and Iwagakure, the strong ninjas of the Reiyo Country, even without the participation of younger generation members like Hina and Sakura in the battles against the coalition, but instead continuing to eradicate them, the strength of the Reiyo Country's strong ninjas still overwhelmingly dominated.
Especially the previously injured Kirigakure and Suna ninjas, they were now unleashing their full power without holding back.
These two ninja villages each had at least five Kage-level ninjas, and Ultra-Kage ninjas were also present. They could individually crush a large ninja village, but by a desire for power. Together with the high-level ninjas of the Reiyo army, it became a slaughter.
At this time, the coalition's Pro-Kage, Kage-level, and other ninjas had mostly perished.
Even Mitsu, the leader of the Iron Country, fell to Isuzu and Meiko.
Isuzu and Meiko!
With Aikotsuki temporarily assigned to another task, they temporarily took on the role of assassins.
Assassination!
This was the primary job of a ninja, so they didn't reject it.
The reason they were assigned this task was that they were the most suitable for it.
Take Hina, for example. Although her attacking power was comparable to an Ultra-Kage's, her movements were too loud!
The enemy would never give her a chance to strike, so assigning her as an assassin was pointless.
But with Isuzu and Meiko, it was different.
One of them was the fastest, possessing the ability to accelerate with the Mangekyo Sharingan, along with an invincible survival skill and powerful genjutsu, making her an ideal assassin.
Not to mention, there was also Meiko, the 'Great Nami'.
In her hands, the Flying Thunder God Technique was even more fluid than the original Golden Flash, making her a true battlefield killer.
If Namikaze Minato could dominate the battlefield with a single kunai, Meiko could do the same, and even better.
Both of them were extremely suitable for assassination.
With their strength, not only could they take down Kage-level ninjas, but they might even be able to defeat Ultra-Kage-level opponents.
And due to their incredible speed, their killing efficiency was astonishing.
A reaper of the strong!
This phrase alone could describe the achievements of the two.
Under their sneak attacks, almost no target could withstand their assault.
Even a quasi-Kage-level powerhouse like 'Kuroda' was directly captured by the two.
It's not that they were lenient, but before the war, they had analyzed each target and formulated plans. Some targets were marked for elimination, while others were to be captured if possible.
For example, Minato, Otsutsuki, and A, the several Kage, were on the kill list, even if they surrendered, they wouldn't be spared.
Their prestige was too high!
To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it was necessary to eliminate them.
If they were allowed to escape, even if their village's ninjas and the Reiyo Army engaged in guerrilla warfare, it would be unknown how much effort and loss would be required to defeat them in the end.
Therefore, some individuals who couldn't be left alive were put on the kill list.
Kuroda, for instance, was of the type who possessed the legitimate identity of the Rock Village and was not particularly strong, so capturing him was an option.
Once Otsutsuki was eliminated, even if the village was a concern, the other side could only choose to surrender to Reiyo Country.
Capturing them was equivalent to gaining another opportunity to take over the Rock Village, it all depended on Tang Ping's decision.
However, at this moment, Meiko and Isuzu didn't continue their assault on the Coalition's strong ones. Instead, they stood atop a stone pillar, gazing at the distant figure descending from hundreds of meters in the night sky, like a blood-colored meteor.
The newest, smallest, and most powerful technique!
Yamanaka Houji!
His final strike finally brewed to completion.
Hao Tian Quan! This Taijutsu is the ultimate refinement of Xixiang's techniques.
Frankly speaking, this is undoubtedly an 'Ultra S-Rank' Taijutsu, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to rate it as Six Paths Level.
However, the prerequisite for its execution is the opening of the Death Gate in the Eight Gates Release.
A one-time technique! It can only be used once per life.
Burning his body to ashes, he unleashed the strongest nine punches.
The power of each punch would double from the previous one, and by the ninth punch, it would be 512 times stronger than the first.
Normally, it would be impossible to have such an exaggerated technique.
But with the Eight Gates Release, which can boost one's power by hundreds or thousands when the Death Gate is opened, a Taijutsu like Hao Tian Quan is not entirely implausible.
Yamanaka Houji's body, enveloped in blood-red chakra, delivered the final blow.
"Hao Tian Quan: Lao Ri!"
His light shout wasn't loud, but for some reason, everyone heard it.
Crack!
The powered armor, originally covered in cracks, was now completely shattered.
Indeed, delivering this final strike was a clever move.
Yamanaka Houji's body, able to withstand the pressure of the Death Gate, was already remarkable, not to mention the additional pressure of Hao Tian Quan.
Therefore, this was the moment when the powered armor could play its role.
It directly bore the brunt of the pressure.
Ordinary equipment wouldn't be able to handle it.
But powered armor can be considered a part of the human body, so it's reasonable to have it help bear the pressure.
Without the powered armor's assistance, Yamanaka Houji might have already reached his limit by the fifth punch, and his body would have exploded.
Now, after delivering the final strike, even the powered armor couldn't withstand it anymore.
Armor Explosion!
Only by using this opportunity could the final blow be executed.
The wind arrived before the fist! Below, Uzumaki Madara found himself unable to move.
Even space ninjutsu couldn't be used at this moment.
Because the space in this area had been disrupted by the wind from the punch, making it unusable.
The fist seemed slow, allowing everyone to see it clearly, yet it gave off an 'unstoppable' feeling.
The two contradictory sensations distorted the viewers' sense of time.
"Grudge Orb!"
Madara shouted lightly.
After being smashed by three Grudge Orbs, he had gathered nine new ones, which all flew to the top of his head, forming a layer of egg-like shield.
Indeed, knowing that evasion was impossible, Madara decided to face it head-on.
Thus, the final confrontation between Six Paths Obito and Six Paths Level Yamanaka Houji unfolded before everyone's eyes.
