Chapter 263: Are You Done Playing?
Chapter 263: Are You Done Playing?
Yuyi Xuan Yue blinked, watching as Naruto didn't take the opportunity to activate his Six Paths Sage Mode. She lowered the black rod on her shoulder, ready to fight and put an end to the nuisance before her.
While she was wary of the Six Paths Sage, there was no need to deify him.
Even when he was alive, the Sage couldn't be all-knowing and all-powerful, let alone after his death.
In Yuyi Xuan Yue's judgment, the Six Paths Sage, though existing in the form of chakra in the ninja world, remained unaware of most of the events transpiring in it for the majority of the time, or he simply existed in a state of "slumber."
Just as he did in the original story, only appearing during significant moments.
Only when beings with a profound connection to him, such as the Ten-Tails or Kaguya Otsutsuki, underwent unexpected changes that threatened his existence, would he truly awaken.
As for the Ashura and Indra's reincarnations...
Over the millennia, the chakra of Ashura and Indra had reincarnated countless times.
Under Black Zetsu's instigation, how many instances of mutual slaughter and death had occurred between those like Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha? Yet the Six Paths Sage never intervened.
Therefore, Yuyi Xuan Yue had no need to worry about the Sage before the Ten-Tails' birth.
Even killing the Ashura's reincarnation, Naruto, right now wouldn't matter.
"Grandma Toad! Now's the time!"
At this moment, feeling stronger than ever before, Naruto, who believed he could even take on Yuyi Xuan Yue, finished speaking and raised his hand to form a familiar hand seal.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
A large cloud of smoke rose.
Hundreds upon hundreds of Naruto's shadow clones, clad in golden chakra cloaks, appeared on the battlefield.
"Everyone, attack!"
Naruto waved his arm.
With a battle cry that shook the heavens, Naruto's army of shadow clones charged toward Yuyi Xuan Yue, carrying with them a storm of dust.
Yuyi Xuan Yue calmly glanced at them and casually formed a hand seal.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Fire!"
Empowered by senjutsu chakra, a massive fireball, ten times more powerful than usual, erupted from Yuyi Xuan Yue's mouth and swept forward.
"Water Style: Water Encampment Wall!"
Before Naruto could react, the Great Toad Sage, positioned at the back, opened his mouth, and a meteor-like giant water ball smashed into the fire, spreading outwards in all directions as it landed.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~
A large amount of white steam rose, and soon, the Great Toad Sage's technique extinguished Yuyi Xuan Yue's fire.
"Well done, Grandma Toad!"
With the path ahead clear, Naruto's shadow clones' fighting spirit soared, and they accelerated toward Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Seeing this, Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced at the Great Toad Sage, who was lurking in the distance, ready to provide support with his ninjutsu. She hooked her finger, and one of the "Path Seeking Orbs" behind her flew forward, transforming into a giant fan that horizontally sliced through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A large number of Naruto's shadow clones at the front lines instantly turned into smoke.
"Don't get too cocky!"
Naruto's angry voice echoed repeatedly.
Immediately after—
"Senjutsu: Rasengan!"
Numerous shadow clones of Naruto, positioned in the middle of the formation and having just completed the Rasengan technique, rushed forward and struck the fan-shaped Celestial Jade.
While beings below the Six Paths would turn to nothing upon touching the Path-Seeking Orb, senjutsu would not.
Thanks to Naruto's rare display of wit, hundreds of Senjutsu: Rasengans simultaneously collided with the Gedo Mazo.
Although the Path Seeking Jade was impervious to senjutsu damage, the immense force of the impact caused it to fly backward involuntarily.
Yuyi Xuan Yue remained unmoved.
Behind her, another Path-Seeking Orb flew forward, transforming into a spherical protective barrier that blocked all of Kurama's chakra hands from reaching her.
"Now's the chance!"
The main body of Naruto, with the assistance of two shadow clones, lifted a massive spiraling shuriken that was spinning at a high velocity.
"Hermit Style, Wind Release: Super Great Ball Rasenshuriken!"
Ever since witnessing Yuyi Xuan Yue's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken with his own eyes on Tanabata Street two years ago, Naruto had been researching this technique with a newfound goal. It wasn't until he successfully mastered the hermit style that he was able to perfect the Rasenshuriken technique and further enhance it.
At this moment, an incredibly rapid whistling sound rang out from above, and Naruto, feeling the immense chakra drain for the first time, didn't dare to hesitate. He threw the shuriken forward with all his might.
In the blink of an eye, accompanied by an ear-piercing sonic boom, the massive Rasenshuriken spun at incredible speed, arriving in front of Yuyi Xuan Yue.
A dazzling flash of white light appeared.
BOOM!!!
A deafening explosion reverberated through the area.
In that instant, the Super Great Ball Rasenshuriken erupted, and although its range was far inferior to the Ultra-Big Bang Rasengan and the exploding Path-Seeking Orbs, its destructive power was by no means weaker.
Once again, the already dilapidated site of Mount Myoboku was engulfed in a cloud of dust that reached the heavens.
Whoosh!
One of the Path-Seeking Orbs, unable to withstand the immense force, was pushed outwards. This was the third Path-Seeking Orb that had been standing behind Yuyi Xuan Yue but hadn't been used until now.
"There's only one left now!"
Naruto looked towards the protective barrier of Path-Seeking Orbs in the midst of the dust cloud. It had been struck by the Super Great Ball Rasenshuriken and had shifted significantly from its original position, appearing highly unstable. Naruto prepared to strike again, using his Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu.
Ribbit!
The Great Toad Sage suddenly leaped to the other side, opening its massive mouth. From the depths of its throat, a powerful gravitational force akin to a black hole erupted forth.
In an instant, a large amount of debris and rocks were pulled into the Great Toad Sage's mouth, vanishing into another dimension and disappearing without a trace.
The true target, Yuyi Xuan Yue, who was enveloped by the Path-Seeking Orbs, felt the pull of the gravity and was unable to resist. The Path-Seeking Orb protecting her was pulled away, emitting a "whoosh" as it sped rapidly towards the Great Toad Sage.
Having learned from previous experience, the Great Toad Sage didn't allow the Path-Seeking Orb to get too close. He quickly created distance and then leaped away with a frog-like jump.
"As expected of Grandpa Great Toad!"
Naruto didn't waste the opportunity presented by the Great Toad Sage's assistance. He summoned a new set of shadow clones, which divided into three groups. They continuously gathered Kurama's chakra hands, doing their best to prevent the three Path-Seeking Orbs that had been pushed away from returning to Yuyi Xuan Yue's side.
As for the remaining shadow clones, they seized the opportunity and rushed towards Yuyi Xuan Yue alongside Naruto's main body, aiming to take her down in one fell swoop.
Soon, the first of Naruto's shadow clones to reach the front lines caught sight of Yuyi Xuan Yue standing alone. Aside from the black rod in her hand, she had no other protection from the Path-Seeking Orbs.
The shadow clone's face was filled with excitement as it charged forward, shouting words of encouragement:
"Yuyi Xuan Yue no longer has any Path-Seeking Orbs! Everyone, together..."
Bang!
Before the shadow clone could finish its sentence, it felt a chill on its forehead, and its entire body turned into white smoke.
The black rod was retracted.
Its slender and powerful fingers grasped it firmly.
The owner of those fingers, Yuyi Xuan Yue, lifted her head and calmly surveyed the countless shadow clones before her. With a nonchalant tone, she asked:
"Are you done playing?"
