Chapter 326: The True Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, Descends!
Chapter 326: The True Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, Descends!
Hayato Gure didn't understand why Hayato Gengetsu specifically instructed them to pursue and kill this Konoha ninja.
But orders were orders.
Soon, a pursuit team led by the Hayato elders set off in pursuit of the retreating Shinobi Alliance.
A ninja by the name of Might Guy was also among them.
Since the revelation of the Eight Inner Gates technique, only two people in the world were known to be able to open all eight gates—Might Dai and Might Guy.
No one realized just how much of a power boost one could attain by opening all eight gates.
Might Dai had demonstrated it once, at the cost of his own life, leaving the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist either dead or severely injured.
While such an achievement was certainly astonishing to ordinary ninjas...
...to beings like Hayato Gengetsu, Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara, and even someone of the Third Raikage's caliber, it could only be considered decent, not earth-shattering.
Might Guy, who could also open the eight gates, had no idea how strong he would become if he unleashed them all.
Much less anyone else.
Therefore, when the Shinobi Alliance's high command dispatched a team to deal with Hayato Gengetsu, in addition to the necessary current Kage, the rest of the team mostly comprised Edo Tensei reincarnated shinobi, while the likes of Might Guy, Kakashi, and Jiraiya remained at the base camp.
At this moment, Might Guy had already opened seven of the eight gates.
Seeing the relentless pursuit of the Hayato forces, and with many of his comrades having fallen along the way, he was contemplating whether to open the eighth gate, to buy time for everyone's escape, a fitting end to his fiery youth and passion.
Kakashi, who knew Guy's thoughts all too well, held him back.
He didn't want to lose his dear friend.
Besides, facing a group of Edo Tensei reincarnated shinobi, even if he opened the eighth gate and defeated them all, what then?
In the previous battle, the Hayato forces had specifically targeted the sealing ninjas, causing significant casualties among them. Now, with their reduced numbers, they didn't have the manpower or time to seal away the pursuing Hayato strong ones.
They had to rendezvous with other forces first before attempting to surround and annihilate their enemies.
Kakashi was unaware that the other brother forces had already scattered long before them.
Might Guy was also unaware, but...
"Kakashi, I have a feeling. Konoha's Blue Beast will shed his hottest, most passionate sweat today!"
Even in the darkness of night, Might Guy's teeth shone brilliantly as he grinned, giving a thumbs-up to himself.
"Guy, you..."
Kakashi looked deeply into Might Guy's eyes.
Seeing several Hayato strong ones approaching their position, he seemed to realize something.
On the other side.
On the road leading to the Shinobi base camp and the site of the Divine Tree, Hayato Gengetsu walked alone in silence.
No shouts of ninjas, no cries of animals, no sound of wind or rain.
Only the rhythmic sound of footsteps echoed across the land.
As if measuring the planet beneath his feet, Hayato Gengetsu walked neither fast nor slow, yet each step spanned several dozen meters.
Before long, the lingering smoke from the Shinobi base camp appeared on the horizon.
"Looks like the cleanup is almost done."
Hayato Gengetsu, having received Hayato Mori's intelligence, glanced at the thick smoke that wasn't particularly noticeable in the night sky and said indifferently,
"In that case, let's begin."
Hayato Gengetsu clapped his hands together.
A puff of white smoke appeared by his side.
A clone, identical in appearance to himself, had been successfully cultivated and summoned.
"I'll leave it to you from here."
Spirit Transformation: Projection!
Hayato Gengetsu's main soul entered the clone.
His physical body, meanwhile, sank into the ground.
After quickly familiarizing himself with the clone's body, Hayato Gengetsu strode forward, just as before, and clapped his hands together once more.
Unlike the Wooden Golem, the incomplete Susanoo, or the Amaterasu, the colossal and heretical Demon Statue answered the call.
Sensing what was about to happen, the Demon Statue, with its eight and a half eyes already opened, couldn't help but look up at the crimson moon closer than ever before, about to let out a heaven-shaking roar.
"Quiet down."
Yuyi Xuan Yue didn't even bother to turn his head as he spoke.
As his words fell, the chains binding the Demon Statue tightened, forcing it to halt its movement.
Without hesitation, Yuyi Xuan Yue continued striding forward, his hands forming the end seal.
Six Paths–Ten-Tails Seal!
The jutsu obtained from the limited world of Tsukuyomi was finally unleashed.
In an instant!
Behind Yuyi Xuan Yue, the heretical Demon Statue, many times larger than him, began to distort and twist. Its massive body was enveloped by a rapidly spinning vortex, causing it to shrink rapidly as it surged into his back.
Gulon~Gulon~Guron~
With the experience from the last time, Yuyi Xuan Yue remained calm, allowing the Demon Statue and the eight and a half tailed beasts to flood into his body.
The entire process proceeded without any abnormalities.
It was as peaceful as taking a stroll down the street.
Yuyi Xuan Yue's footsteps, unchanged in tone, continued to echo rhythmically through the night.
One step. Two steps. Three steps.
As Yuyi Xuan Yue took the sixth step, white feathers drifted down from the sky. In the dazzling light, the six Magatama and the Six Paths robe descended and draped over his body.
On the seventh step, his black hair turned into white silk, flowing down to his waist.
On the eighth step, swish swish swish swish. Seven Seeking Orbs appeared behind him, forming a circular pattern.
On the ninth step, the ascension was complete, and the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails was officially born.
In this moment, with waist-length white hair and the Six Paths robe dancing in the wind, Yuyi Xuan Yue slowly closed his eyes, sensing the unprecedented and overwhelmingly powerful force within his body, surpassing any realm he had experienced before.
"So this is the Six Paths level? It feels so much more real and powerful compared to the limited world of Tsukuyomi!"
Soon.
Yuyi Xuan Yue calmly reopened his eyes, his expression composed.
Although the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was immense, it didn't truly belong to him.
His true power would arrive sooner rather than later.
If all went according to plan.
Yuyi Xuan Yue glanced at the crimson moon overhead, feeling its presence drawing closer.
Becoming the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails meant that he had officially made contact with Kaguya, and the Sage of Six Paths had likely received the warning as well.
He had to act quickly!
Yuyi Xuan Yue retracted his gaze, his body rising into the air. With a burst of speed faster than ever before, he swiftly flew toward the Divine Tree ruins.
At the same time.
Within the blood moon, in the Six Paths sealing space.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, sealed away for a millennium, slowly opened her eyes. With a slight curl of her red lips, she said, "I sense the presence of the Ten-Tails. Well done, my child!"
In an unknown space.
The Six Paths-level chakra that permeated the area suddenly converged, taking the form of the Sage of Six Paths.
As if awakened from a long slumber, the Sage of Six Paths slowly opened his eyes, and in the moment his Rinnegan beheld the Shinobi World, he saw everything.
"So many years have passed... The Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails... It seems someone has managed to withstand the power of the Ten-Tails."
The Sage of Six Paths sighed deeply.
"What a pity... It's all futile. In the end, it will only become a cradle for Mother."
"For the sake of the Shinobi World, I must stop it!"
