Chapter 1013: Shinjuha Kotan!
Chapter 1013: Shinjuha Kotan!
"Shinjuha Kotan!" Madara chanted, forming hand seals.
At this moment, he finally remembered his goal.
Tsukuyomi! After his battle with Yamanaka Koji, he vented his battle intent, regained his sanity, and immediately performed this technique.
Seizing the opportunity when no one was around to stop him, he acted, or else he wouldn't dare say if he would be hindered.
If it were before being beaten up by Yamanaka Koji, he would have never put others in his mind, believing that with his current Six Paths-level strength, no one could stop him.
But now?
After witnessing such a blatant example, he no longer dared to be so certain. Therefore, the top priority was not to revel in battle but to complete the task first.
Shinjuha Kotan!
This technique could only be used by Madara, the original owner of the Rinnegan, after becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and ascending to the Six Paths level.
The name itself hinted at its effect.
It allows the Shinju to lift all targets affected by Infinite Tsukuyomi and use them as 'batteries' to provide energy for the continued expansion of its range.
A blood-red Rinnegan appeared on Madara's forehead, and he performed the technique towards the bright moon in the sky, as if it were within reach.
Buzz!
Countless moonlights began to envelop the battlefield.
Simultaneously, a colossal Shinju emerged from the ground, growing wildly.
Compared to the previous temporary incarnation of the Ten-Tails as the Shinju to complete itself, this time it wasn't about completion but pure growth.
"No...Ah!"
A coalition ninja was suddenly wrapped up by root-like tendrils, suspended on the Shinju like a cocoon.
And this was just the beginning.
More and more roots broke through the ground, lifting all ninjas with chakra.
On the Reiyo Country's side, there were also victims.
However, no one came to their rescue.
Because the order given moments ago was clear.
Except for a few individuals, everyone else willingly became 'batteries' to provide energy, and they would be saved later.
After all, it was just a temporary extraction of chakra, and nothing major would happen, so there was no need for rescue.
However, before becoming batteries, the Reiyo army would fight with all their might, eliminating the coalition forces whose numbers were already dwindling.
The stronger the ninja, the more they could resist the genjutsu's influence and avoid being lifted onto the Shinju.
It could be said that numerous details had already deviated from the original plot.
If one were to follow the original plot, they would surely be led astray.
Fortunately, Dojin understood this point early on; he knew that the 'grand trend' would not change, but the details would undergo significant alterations, so his strategy was always advantageous.
He went with the flow, not relying on any specific detail.
And at this moment! The remaining dozens of Kyurofu made their move.
In the air, they formed an array, using themselves as nodes to create a barrier.
A specialized barrier to counter the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi, also prepared in advance by Dojin.
Knowing about Infinite Tsukuyomi, even if it meant using most people as batteries for the Shinju, it didn't mean everyone would be affected. At least some strong individuals should be spared, so a solution was required.
In the original plot, only the 'main character team' could withstand the effects of Infinite Tsukuyomi; everyone else was lifted up.
But Dojin didn't want to see such a situation, so he had researched ways to counter it.
Now was the time for his solution.
Barrier!
An ultra-composite barrier specifically targeting genjutsu and Yin Release.
After all, the principle of Infinite Tsukuyomi was to use the moon as a reflection for the Rinnegan's genjutsu, so immunity to that genjutsu was the key.
As Madara performed the technique, Dojin had already issued orders in advance through the command network.
Most Kage-level or special targets, such as TenTen and Karin, elite Jonin, could enter the barrier, while others focused on eliminating the coalition forces. Then, they would willingly become 'batteries' for the Shinju.
Even if the Shinju turned people into 'Byakugan,' it wouldn't happen in a day or two; it required a significant amount of time. After the ninjas could no longer produce chakra, they would be transformed into Byakugan by Wood Release.
As long as they were rescued before that, they wouldn't truly become Byakugan.
Dojin could be careless in other aspects, but he dared not be careless in this matter, so he had already figured it out.
And Mikoto is about to descend, requiring a massive amount of chakra to 'retrieve' the power of the opposing forces. Thus, if the Reiyo Army does not act as a battery, and the original battery, the Coalition, is nearly wiped out by them, perhaps Mikoto will be unable to descend due to 'nutritional deficiency'.
For this reason, Dojin specifically asks the Reiyo Army not to resist, intending to replace the Coalition's role as the 'battery'.
Therefore, the Reiyo Army, which does not retreat into the Kyurofu to form a Kekkai, is currently in a frenzy of attacks.
Especially in the sky!
Sasori and Chiyo are not involved in the subsequent battles, so their firepower is unleashed without restraint.
Chiyo, piloting the Burasu, an aircraft carrier, unleashes a massive amount of firepower.
Boom!
Rumble!
Whoosh!
Various explosions, flames, and Kunai rain down, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Coalition forces on the ground below.
The Coalition, which was already dwindling in numbers due to the previous siege, is now even more pitifully small after enduring this terrifying burst of attacks.
Especially A and Otsutsuki, their eyes are completely red at this moment.
The newest, smallest, and weakest speak, "Reiyo Country!"
If Dojin dares to appear before them, they are ready to take him down with them.
What grudge, what hatred?
It's as if they are not giving them any chance to live.
"Die!"
Yakura shouts, leading Gaara, Temari, Zi Luo, and other powerful ninjas in an all-out attack on A.
Surround!
For some proud warriors, this is unacceptable.
For example, Uzumaki Madara, if you ask him to join others in besieging an enemy, he might slap you on the back.
The problem is that Dojin's prestige in Reiyo Country is too high.
Just like Senju Hashirama in the early days of Konoha, when an order is given, all powerful ninjas will not refuse or show off their individuality.
This is the value of the first generation of the forces.
Not only is Dojin the lord of Reiyo, the first generation to create this force, but he also personally 'cultivated' this group of powerful ninjas.
After all, those precious resources and techniques were all researched by Dojin, and with the addition of the 'Reiyo Ishi', he directly united everyone, forming an unprecedentedly cohesive force.
Reiyo Ishi!
A concept that can bring true 'happiness' to the Ninja World.
Unlike the hypocritical and double-standard 'Fire Ishi', the Reiyo Ishi has truly demonstrated its influence.
All Reiyo citizens are incredibly happy.
Originally, by purifying those once 'indispensable' nobles and establishing a reliable internal management system, they could truly allow the Reiyo Ishi to shine upon the Ninja World.
Now, the true face of this class has been revealed.
The most crucial point is that Reiyo Country has proven one thing.
Without the nobles, the Ninja World will become better.
This alone is enough to make the noble class go crazy with hostility towards Reiyo Country.
If it weren't for the noble class being experts in internal conflicts but amateurs in external wars, perhaps Reiyo Country wouldn't have grown so quickly.
Such obvious results further prove the correctness and excellence of the Reiyo Ishi.
Therefore, the cohesion of Reiyo Country is now incredibly strong.
Including the Suna and Kiri ninjas! After being brainwashed by their families, schools, and miko, their fanaticism for the Reiyo Ishi is no less than that of the Reiyo ninjas.
Some even envy, admire, and resent the Reiyo ninjas.
The envy and admiration are because they can always stay by the side of the lord of Reiyo.
The resentment is because, despite knowing the greatness of the Reiyo Ishi, they are so slow in their actions, failing to 'purify' the remaining corrupt nobles in the Ninja World, thus preventing the Reiyo Ishi from shining upon it.
Now, having finally revealed their identities, they successfully fight as Reiyo ninjas, and the morale of the two villages is imaginable.
Therefore, besieging the major ninja villages is a reward for them.
A encounters such a group of Suna ninjas with soaring morale.
Yakura must seize the opportunity and, before he and his subordinates succumb to Infinite Tsukuyomi, kill A and return to the Kekkai to avoid the influence of the illusion, thus participating in the subsequent battles.
