Chapter 1077: Yecheng's Outburst, Hagoromo's Shock!
Chapter 1077: Yecheng’s Outburst, Hagoromo’s Shock!
Looking at Hagoromo in front of him, Yecheng’s face was grim. He had never expected the situation to unfold this way, as in the original storyline, Hagoromo didn’t have such tactics.
But upon closer thought, Yecheng didn’t find it strange anymore.
In the original plot, Hagoromo first lost an arm to Kakashi’s Kamui, then got a punch to the head from Sakura, and was finally sealed by Naruto and Sasuke working together.
Team 7’s coordinated efforts, with their various enhancements and abilities, left Hagoromo with no time to react.
However, in the recent situation, the Black Coffin had trapped Hagoromo, but the time given for her to act was more than ample. It wasn’t impossible for her to come up with a way to escape.
“Yakaze, what should we do now?”
Naruto and Sasuke entered battle mode again, but it was clear to anyone with eyes that although Hagoromo’s power had diminished, without the sealing technique, they had no chance of victory against her.
Even if she was weakened, she was still an immortal with virtually endless chakra. The longer they dragged this out, the more likely it was that they would be the ones to fall.
“Tch, is the Celestial Prison sealing technique just a plot device? Do we need the entire main cast to meet the conditions for it to work?”
Honestly, Yecheng felt that his contributions and combat effectiveness in this battle far exceeded those of the decorative Sakura and the mechanical Kakashi.
Yet, the original Team 7 could seal Hagoromo, but replacing Sakura and Kakashi with him, Yecheng, didn’t work?
Does this mean that Sakura plus Kakashi is greater than him, Yecheng?
“Find a safe place and see if you can enter the consciousness realm again to find the Sage of Six Paths. Ask him for another Celestial Prison sealing technique.
Until then, I’ll try to buy you enough time.”
Hearing Yecheng’s words, Naruto and Sasuke were clearly taken aback. Naruto then immediately spoke up, “But Yakaze, you said that using the Rinnegan’s ability would deplete your eye power, right?
Shouldn’t we all fight together? Maybe we can find a way to defeat her…”
Clearly, Naruto was worried about leaving Yecheng to face Hagoromo alone.
He acknowledged Yecheng’s strength, but Yecheng had already expended a lot of chakra and eye power assisting them. Leaving him to face such a formidable enemy alone would be tantamount to sending him to his death.
Kushina had already told him that Yecheng was a great benefactor to their family, and Yecheng had just saved Sasuke. Naruto Uzumaki would never abandon his comrades, even if it meant dying in battle!
“Haven’t you figured it out yet? I want to face her alone, not because I’m ready to sacrifice myself. I’m not that noble. I just think you two would be in the way.
Without the sealing technique, you’re almost powerless against her, and I’d have to worry about you being drained by her.
Besides, when did I say I’m out of the fight? This is my true battleground!
I’ve been supporting you guys, and it’s been frustrating. Now, it’s my turn to be the main fighter!”
Naruto was about to say more, but Sasuke, tired of Naruto’s fussing, grabbed him with his Susanoo and dragged him away.
Sasuke was a rational thinker, unlike the emotionally driven Naruto. He knew that if they didn’t find a way to get the sealing technique from the Sage of Six Paths, they would all be doomed.
Yecheng's sacrifice was meaningful, at least giving them a fighting chance to turn the tide.
It wasn't just Naruto; even Sasuke believed that Yecheng's words were nothing more than a show of bravado, aimed at reassuring the naive Naruto.
Hagoromo watched as Naruto and Sasuke left, then glanced at Yecheng one last time. In the end, she decided not to pursue them and instead focused on eliminating Yecheng.
Without the sealing technique, Naruto and Sasuke posed little threat to her.
On the contrary, Yecheng was a different matter. Not only did he possess the full power of the Six Paths, just like Hagoromo, but he also knew some bizarre and unpredictable techniques.
Though Yecheng no longer had Kuro, his intuition told Hagoromo that Yecheng was more dangerous than the reincarnated Asura and Indra.
"I didn't really want to alter the course and outcome of this world, but since the damage is done, I'll have to wrap things up myself.
Tenfold King Fist—Activate!"
The intense battles had indeed drained Yecheng's chakra significantly, but this didn't stop him from unleashing his ultimate power.
"Aaaaaah—!"
With a roar, Yecheng clenched his fists, and a red aura erupted from his body, rapidly expanding to ten meters in a matter of seconds!
A powerful shockwave surged from his feet, forming a visible wave that spread out in all directions.
At first, Hagoromo, standing before Yecheng, maintained her cold, emotionless expression.
But soon, her demeanor began to shift, and she finally showed a look of disbelief.
The reason was simple: Hagoromo was astonished to discover that Yecheng's chakra was increasing at an alarming rate!
No, "increasing at an alarming rate" was an understatement. It was more accurate to say that Yecheng's chakra was surging exponentially!
In a mere moment, Hagoromo felt Yecheng's chakra, which was initially far inferior to hers, gradually match her level, then surpass it, and finally reach a point where she could no longer sense its extent.
A massive blue chakra pillar shot into the sky, causing the ice in the Ice Realm to crack and crumble on a large scale. The entire Primordial Sphere began to shake violently.
Naruto and Sasuke, who had already flown a considerable distance, were stunned when they felt the violent shaking of the Ice Realm, the collapse of numerous ice formations, and the overwhelming chakra.
They could still distinguish Yecheng's and Hagoromo's chakra, and they had just been mourning the possibility that Yecheng might die to buy them time.
But in the blink of an eye, the situation had completely reversed!
Seriously, if Yecheng had such an immense amount of chakra, why didn't he just take on Hagoromo directly instead of having them seek the sealing technique from the Sage of Six Paths?
"Yakaze wasn't lying after all. If we had stayed, we would have only gotten in the way..."
Hearing Naruto's comment, Sasuke slightly pursed his lips and replied, "Yecheng might have used some secret technique to boost his power. Even if he can suppress Hagoromo, he still has no way to deal with an immortal being.
Let's focus on finding a way to contact the Sage of Six Paths. We need to stop talking and start acting.
