Chapter 1015: Isuzu: Can You Withstand the Power of Thousands of Swords?
Shattered Moon!
With her incredible speed and Mangekyo ability, Isuzu could unleash thousands of slashes in an instant, forming a crescent moon of sword light that shattered, hence the name.
However, it was also the assistance of her extraordinary organs that made this terrifying attack possible.
If not for these organs alleviating the strain, her arms might have shattered from the pressure of executing such a strike.
Isuzu did train her body regularly, but it was no match for Yamanaka's abnormality, necessitating the extraordinary organs to share the burden.
Swish! The shattered moon of sword light appeared and then disintegrated into a silver glow that engulfed A.
Mid-air, A, who had just been attacked by Zi Luo and Yakura, was paralyzed by their consecutive assaults. Even the Fourth Raikage, who had entered a stiff state, didn't have a chance to raise his hands to block before being engulfed by the sword light.
A blunt attack might have been endurable, given the resilience of A's body, but Isuzu's attack was a blade-handle strike, capable of slicing through even armor. Flesh and blood couldn't withstand it.
Even with the enhanced resilience from the Chakra Mode, A's body couldn't resist.
Can you withstand the power of thousands of swords?
Moreover, A had no defensive equipment other than his armlet. If his Storm Release was still active, he might have withstood the Shattered Moon.
But A's Storm Release had been exhausted in the battle, and without the Chakra boost, his body, no matter how resilient, couldn't withstand the attack of the 'Divine Weapon.'
Blood and flesh flew!
Under this strike, A didn't turn into powder like the stones or steel from previous tests; instead, he shattered into pieces and fell.
"Ani-gee (Big Brother!!)!"
Kirabi's mournful cry echoed.
Currently restrained by Maki's Binding Cloth Jutsu, his eyes were bloodshot, and his sunglasses had fallen off long ago.
Witnessing his big brother, closer than a blood relative, being slain, Kirabi, if not for his lack of the Sharingan, would have unleashed the Mangekyo right then and there.
"Seen it, Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails!"
Kankuro formed hand seals.
A uniquely shaped wolf-like puppet with a metallic texture extended its scorpion-like tail, piercing Kirabi's body through the cloth.
The sealing ability of the Binding Cloth Jutsu was effective internally but not externally, making it difficult to break free from within but effortless to destroy from the outside. Hence, the strike pierced both Kirabi and the cloth simultaneously.
Ordinary piercing attacks were nothing special.
But this wolf-scorpion puppet was crafted with the help of Sasori, the master puppeteer, and the poison on it was his doing, the kind that sealed throats upon contact with blood.
Just mentioning Sasori's battle record was enough to understand the potency of his poison.
The Third Kazekage!
He was killed by Sasori's poison at a young age.
This example alone demonstrated the lethality of Sasori's poison.
Anyway, regardless of Shadow-level or Ultra-Shadow-level strength, without special circumstances like immortality or elemental transformation abilities, anyone who encountered Sasori's poison would meet their end.
Kirabi was indeed powerful, but he genuinely lacked such an ability.
When Ubuyuki was around, he might have borrowed his power to neutralize the poison.
But now, with only a piece of octopus tentacle inside him, devoid of consciousness, it was impossible for it to aid in detoxification.
Additionally, the sealing technique's suppression prevented him from even obtaining the readily available antidote.
Thus, Kirabi, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails and a member of the AB Combination, slowly closed his eyes.
Too simple a death!
But one should consider that without Ubuyuki and with targeted interception, his combat power couldn't be fully exerted, making this outcome rather normal.
Gaara was a Shadow-level powerhouse, comparable to a strong Kage.
With him as the main fighter, supported by Temari and Kankuro, and with Maki as a surprise element, this team's victory over Kirabi was well-deserved.
Thus, A and Kirabi, the Kumogakure's AB Combination, perished.
"Move quickly!"
Yakura rushed towards the barrier without looking back, calling for the others to follow.
The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi didn't fade instantly; its effects intensified, and it currently covered only this area.
They were all starting to be influenced, and if they waited any longer, A and Kirabi might have survived.
However, as they were about to retreat, Temari and Kankuro suddenly stopped.
Gaara hesitated for a moment but instead of pulling them back, he allowed them to be lifted by the roots emerging from the ground and hung directly on the Shinju.
Yes, being a 'battery' is also a contribution.
Without sufficient chakra, Kaguya would not be able to descend.
Moreover, even if they extract chakra for over a decade, there's no issue. How much more so for a short period? There's no need to worry about being transformed into Byakugan by the Shinju's power, which is essentially Kokaton.
After dealing with A, Meiko and Isuzu didn't immediately enter the Kekkai but instead went to support the Mist Ninjas led by Terumi Ming.
It's not that Otsutsuki is stronger, but he's more cunning.
He never confronts head-on, only evading constantly.
If it weren't for Nan and Sasori intercepting from the air, he might have escaped.
Of course, the Yellow Earth type, who only knows how to confront head-on, would be the first to fall among the Kage-level ninjas.
Tang Ping isn't a good killer by nature, but for the sake of reducing future troubles, he doesn't mind being ruthless.
Don't be fooled by the anime.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ release!
Ninja is a profession of killing. Regardless of Otsutsuki or Yellow Earth, don't be deceived by their performance in the anime. When executing missions, they slaughter countless people.
And when ninjas execute missions, they only care about the reward, regardless of right or wrong.
Therefore, killing them won't cause any moral dilemmas.
Meiko and Isuzu helped stab Otsutsuki before retreating.
The battlefield quieted down.
Those remaining on the battlefield were either killed or trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi, then hung as batteries.
Due to the Reiyo Army's fierce slaughter, Tang Ping worried about the sufficiency of chakra and even had most of his village's Kage-level ninjas 'voluntarily' become batteries.
Everything is done to allow Kaguya's descent.
Only when she descends will the Six Paths intervene; otherwise, regardless of the situation, they won't leave their lair to descend into the Shinobi World.
Well, the prerequisite is that their backup plan fails, then they will personally intervene.
In the original plot, Naruto and Sasuke teamed up to deal with Kaguya, the Shinobi World's first 'naive and sweet' person.
But what if one of them encounters trouble?
With only Naruto, there's no way to deal with Kaguya. At that time, the Six Paths Sage, this 'filial son,' would choose to descend to reseal his mother.
Anyway, the strongest Tang Ping is only at the peak of Soutensei, posing no threat to him.
Despite being on the same Six Paths level as Madara, crushing Madara wouldn't require several rounds. So, as long as Tang Ping isn't Six Paths level, he isn't worried about his safety, hence his daring descent.
If there were other Six Paths levels, he would guarantee to 'play it safe,' never descending into the Shinobi World.
It's fortunate that Tang Ping knew the opponent's personality in advance.
Otherwise, for insurance, if he had directly ascended to the God Position before the decisive battle, the Six Paths would have chosen to hide behind the scenes and scheme secretly.
For such a super-old Six Paths to hide and scheme, how many lives would he need to survive?
Therefore, no matter what, Tang Ping must deal with this old Six Paths to feel secure enough to lie down.
Even if it means sacrificing, it's worth it.
Moreover, it's not a sacrifice but having most of his village's Kage-level ninjas 'guest star' as batteries once.
Anyway, in the subsequent battles, even if they participate, it's only to divert attention and witness the situation. Except for a few who can play a role, they won't bother if they don't participate.
With so many Kage-level batteries and over a hundred thousand ninjas, the chakra will undoubtedly be more than in the original plot; it's impossible for it to be insufficient.
Anyway, Tang Ping is only willing to provide so many batteries; he won't bother with more.
The air force also landed on the Burasu after pulling away, allowing it to carry them to the ground, and then he jumped out to be a battery.
The battlefield completely quieted down.
A several-kilometer-thick, immeasurably tall Shinju appeared on the battlefield, with countless cocoon-like objects hanging on it.
At this moment, the Shinju stopped growing.
Apparently, it had entered its maturity phase.
Next, they need to find a way to cripple Madara and create an opportunity for Hei Jue to have a 'heart-to-heart' talk with him.
