Chapter 177: Tang Ping: Amaterasu! (Itachi: Fck, I said Fck)
Chapter 177: Tang Ping: Amaterasu! (Itachi: Fck, I said Fck)
Pant, Pant!
Countless black beams of light converged into a spherical shape. Just by looking at it, one could feel the terrifying power contained within.
Fck!
Tang Ping was seething with anger. Only now did he realize something was off.
Why was it that when the future Prince Naruto took action, the Oni's methods were simple, just forming snake heads for physical attacks, but when it was his turn, he faced this level of treatment?
Was it really that the protagonist could do whatever they wanted?
"If winning was just about having more chakra, then the main character of the ninja world wouldn't be a ninja but a Tailed Beast!"
Tang Ping sneered in disdain.
More chakra was indeed better; it could make a brick fly with sheer force. However, that didn't mean technique wasn't necessary.
Take Kage-level shinobi, for example (excluding those with massive chakra reserves). Their chakra might be less than one percent of a Tailed Beast's, yet they could seal and suppress Tailed Beasts, demonstrating the efficiency of ninja chakra usage.
That's why a perfect Jinchuriki was so powerful. They possessed the chakra of a Tailed Beast and the efficiency of a ninja. Combining both, how could they not be strong?
The Oni, no matter how much chakra it had, didn't concern Tang Ping. The opponent's efficiency in using power was too crude.
The key was whether it could hit him at all!
With his speed, the Oni had no chance of hitting him, unless...
At this thought, he turned his head to the side.
Yes, the Oni's target wasn't him but Miroku, who was on the waterfall.
In the original setup, the Oni and the Miko were two sides of the same coin, one representing the physical body and the other the embodiment of dark emotions.
But the version Tang Ping encountered was different.
The Oni was an 'interdimensional demon' summoned by the Miko, and the two had a special connection, with the Miko having a natural advantage over the Oni.
The version was off!
So even when he saw the Oni using abilities it didn't have before, he was amused but not surprised.
Swish!
Tang Ping jumped into the lava pit ahead, preparing to stop the Oni from using its ultimate move.
If the Oni managed to launch that attack, things would get complicated.
He didn't have defensive jutsu like 'Third Uncle's Door Repair.'
Fire Release techniques were powerful in attack and range, but their defensive capabilities were lacking.
In mid-air, Tang Ping bit his index finger, smeared the blood on the back of his right hand, and began forming seals.
"Summoning Jutsu!"
His right hand slapped the air, and a large number of runes spread out.
Faced with such a large target, if he didn't want to use Sage Techniques, there was only one choice.
Bring in reinforcements!
He summoned his summoning animal to fight one-on-two.
Loyal was his ace in the hole, but it wasn't suitable for this lava battlefield, so he summoned his regular ace.
Quack!
White mist spread, and a shrill cry echoed through the sky, signaling the arrival of Tang Ping's ace.
A massive three-legged golden crow emerged from the mist, and Tang Ping stood on its feathered, crown-like head.
The three-legged golden crow, making its entrance!
Taiyi, who hadn't been summoned in a long time, had undergone a transformation.
Its size had nearly doubled, rivaling or even surpassing the summoning animals of the Three Legendary Shinobi.
After all, flying-type summoning animals were lighter, so while they were larger in size, their weight was far less than that of ground-type summoning animals.
In addition to its size, Taiyi's body was now bathed in dark golden light, making it look fierce and dominant, indicating that its growth wasn't just in size but in other aspects as well.
This rapid growth was due to the abundant natural energy it enjoyed at Tanggu.
If it were at Mount Myoboku or the Snake Temple, with countless toads and snakes, its growth rate would be much slower.
"Taiyi, show me your limits!"
Tang Ping signaled his summoning animal to go all out, holding nothing back.
Quack!
Taiyi's temperature suddenly soared.
No, it wasn't its body temperature that rose; the air around it was heating up rapidly.
The once dim environment slowly became 'brightened.'
Infinite light and heat were being gathered by Taiyi.
Ultimate move!
The newly summoned Taiyi was about to unleash its ultimate attack.
Meanwhile, Tang Ping leaped off its body, diving toward the black sphere on the Oni's head.
"Amaterasu!!"
He formed seals in mid-air.
This was originally a Sage Technique, but it could still be used with chakra, just not called a Sage Technique or Sage Art, but simply a jutsu.
Swish!
A golden-white flame sword appeared in his right hand.
The color of Fire Release techniques represents their temperature and, consequently, their power levels.
Ordinary Fire Release techniques are red. For every 100-degree increase in temperature, the power of the technique increases by one level.
Golden-white flames are 500 degrees hotter than red flames, making this color of Fire Release five levels more powerful than its counterparts.
It's ruthless!
Now you understand why Dylan Hayes was confident his Fire Release techniques surpassed Uchiha Madara's, right?
Swish, Swish!
Dylan Hayes swung the Sword of Celestial Gathering Clouds, effortlessly severing the heads of the snakes that lunged at him from below, then unleashed a full-powered strike to shatter the dark orb.
Pop!
The orb burst, but it didn't explode as Dylan Hayes had hoped.
If it had, the ghostly creature, Mu, might have been severely injured by the explosion, which would have been quite amusing.
After interrupting Mu's ultimate move, Dylan Hayes's Flame Cloak erupted with flames, propelling him toward the edge of the magma pit to avoid Tai's next lethal attack.
Just as he reached the pit's wall:
Swish!
A massive pillar of fire tore through the sky.
True. Tearing.jpg!
The dark clouds above were pierced by the colossal fire column, which then fell upon Tai in mid-air, continuing downward to engulf Mu, connecting all three in a fiery chain.
Infinite heat and flames erupted from Mu's body.
"Ahhh!"
"Damn Leaf Clan ninjas!"
"As long as the shrine maiden lives, I cannot die! You'll never kill me!"
...
The agonizing screams were accompanied by the sound of flesh sizzling.
It was truly a horrific sight!
From Mu's screams, it became clear that he was indeed in a 'ymbiotic' relationship with the shrine maiden.
Perhaps the earlier attempt to kill the shrine maiden by Dylan Hayes's subordinate, Yomi, was just a ruse. In a critical moment, Mu would likely 'devour' her, merging with her to become stronger.
"Is that all you've got?"
Dylan Hayes watched with disappointment as Mu, scorched by Tai's flames, screamed in agony.
Is that it? Just that?
He still had numerous techniques at his disposal, yet Mu was already on his knees. This was too disappointing.
While he knew from the future that Mu would eventually be defeated by Naruto, who only knew how to form a Rasengan, he had hoped for a more formidable version of Mu.
He didn't expect that even after being enhanced, Mu would still be a weakling, easily roasted by Tai's ultimate move.
But it was also Mu's bad luck.
Tai's technique was particularly effective against Mu, and the surrounding magma environment doubled its power. Even a Tailed Beast would have been overwhelmed, let alone Mu.
The key was that Mu couldn't move!
This technique was a sustained attack. If the target could move, its effectiveness would be reduced by at least tenfold.
Dylan Hayes decided to name this technique:
Amaterasu!
Sorry, but he was using the name of a future Mangekyou Sharingan ability first.
He felt that Tai's technique was more fitting for this name.
The pillar of fire descending from the sky perfectly matched the description, didn't it?
( Ebisu/Sasuke: F, I'm fing fing fing)
Anyway, the copyright for this name now belonged to him. Even if those two eventually gained this Mangekyou Sharingan ability, it would only be a 'knockoff' of his.
Taking their path and leaving them with no way to go!
This was a common move for a Time Traveler (formerly ).
Soon, under the intense heat of Tai's molten metal-melting fire column, Mu's movements grew weaker, and his screams lost their intensity.
But he wouldn't die.
There was no way. This otherworldly creature was like a 'hadow' of the shrine maiden. As long as she lived, he would not perish.
No wonder others found him so difficult to deal with.
"It's time to end this!"
Dylan Hayes suddenly lunged at Yomi, whose form was shrinking in the flames, revealing the core of her being.
Roar!
His Flame Cloak layered over his body, enveloping him in a fiery shroud.
He quickly reached the rock where Yomi was trapped in the magma and plunged into the scorching fire column.
He wouldn't make the mistake of stopping his attack and allowing her to escape.
Since he was immune to fire in this state, he could go all out.
His hands rapidly formed seals, and he struck her with a powerful blow.
"Sealing Technique: Four Symbols Seal!"
Dylan Hayes had been researching sealing techniques using the Clarity Agent and had received guidance from Kushina Uzumaki. It was no surprise that he could use such a seal.
Dense runes appeared on Yomi's body.
Success!
With this, the 'Perpetual Motion Machine' was in his hands.
