Chapter 332: Let's Begin, Infinite Tsukuyomi
Chapter 332: Let's Begin, Infinite Tsukuyomi
Boom!!!
Just as Hayai Gengetsu was about to rush towards the Shinju, Might Guy suddenly spun around with incredible speed, appearing beside him in a violent explosion.
The next moment!
Under the crimson steam, a massive dragon head roared and viciously swallowed him whole.
"So fast!"
Hayai Gengetsu, who had intended to face Eight Gates Guy's strongest taijutsu head-on, found himself unable to move as the space around him warped and twisted.
He watched as Guy's incredibly powerful kick, strong enough to distort space itself, came straight at him.
With no other options, Hayai Gengetsu fully understood what Uchiha Madara must have felt in the original story at that moment.
"Such taijutsu is truly unprecedented, with no equal in the past or future!"
Hayai Gengetsu gazed at Guy, who had rushed up close, his body crimson and his veins ruptured, with scorching fissures covering his entire being.
After a moment of awe...
Hayai Gengetsu was kicked in the chest and abdomen by Guy, creating a deafening explosion. His body, dragged along by the red dragon, plowed a deep groove over a hundred meters long into the ground before finally crashing into the Shinju.
The Shinju trembled violently.
Immediately after.
At the spot where Hayai Gengetsu finally fell...
Accompanied by a substantial impact wave that surged in all directions, a massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
Not long after.
A gust of wind blew, dispersing the lingering smoke in the air.
A deep and long furrow, straight towards the Shinju, appeared under the blood moon.
In the middle of the furrow.
A charred black body lay on the ground as if it had been engulfed in flames.
Scorching steam continued to rise from Guy's body, his scorching fissures stark and visible. He had completely collapsed, like a flickering candle in the wind, with only his last breath remaining before he dissipated entirely.
At the end of the furrow, Hayai Gengetsu, who had taken a direct hit from Night Guy, slowly rose while propping himself against the Shinju, his chest and abdomen visibly torn open in a gaping hole.
For a normal person, such injuries, even with natural healing abilities, would only lead to death.
However, at this moment, not only was there no blood flowing from Hayai Gengetsu's chest wound, but he was also breathing and standing up on his own.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Loud applause echoed from Hayai Gengetsu's hands as he stood upright.
"It's been a while since I experienced the thrill of being so close to death."
Hayai Gengetsu twisted his neck nostalgically, his gaze shifting from the large hole in his chest and abdomen to the motionless Guy lying not far away. Excited, he smiled and said, regardless of whether the other party could hear him:
"You should have aimed for my head."
As his words fell...
Hayai Gengetsu's torn chest and abdomen rapidly regenerated.
In just a few breaths, he was fully healed and intact once more.
The Ten-Tails Jinchuriki possessed an incredibly strong regenerative ability and vitality.
Only senjutsu and the Six Paths Senjutsu could harm their bodies.
Although taijutsu could damage the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's body, it would quickly recover to its original state.
Just like Hayai Gengetsu at this moment.
This was why Hayai Gengetsu hadn't been too concerned when facing the Eight Gates.
Taijutsu, after all, was too one-dimensional.
Unless Guy's strength was sufficient to destroy the entire body of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in one blow.
But human strength had its limits.
With Guy's physical condition, being able to kick Uchiha Madara's body to pieces, as in the original story, and now causing Hayai Gengetsu's chest cavity to rupture, was already his limit.
Although he came close to kicking out the finale, it was still praise-worthy.
But sometimes, being close could mean a world of difference.
"It's over."
Hayai Gengetsu, clad in the Six Paths robe, calmly declared amidst the howling wind. The seven chakra orbs finally returned and flew behind him.
Although he failed, his courage and strength were commendable.
Yuyi Xuan Yue looked at Might Guy, who was barely clinging to life, and nodded in acknowledgment. "Your taijutsu is extraordinary. Not only among those I've faced, but among all ninjas throughout the millennia, none can match your prowess in this art."
Might Guy did not respond, and it was unclear if he could even hear these words of praise, the greatest recognition of his strength.
Yuyi Xuan Yue was about to take further action when his expression shifted, and he turned his head towards the Shinju behind him.
The impact from before had not caused any substantial harm to the Shinju.
Moreover, at that moment, the Shinju informed Yuyi Xuan Yue that the five-minute countdown had ended, and he could now officially perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"This moment," Yuyi Xuan Yue said slowly, "has finally arrived!"
In a dark corner not far away, Kurozuchi, who was also keenly aware that the time had come, could not contain his excitement.
He had planned and waited for a thousand years for this very moment! Although the performer of the jutsu had ultimately been a surprise.
But!
As long as the Infinite Tsukuyomi was released, that was all that mattered!
Once it was unleashed, nothing could stop Mother's arrival.
Kurozuchi suddenly recalled the events that had just transpired.
Who would have thought that the green-skinned Konoha ninja with questionable fashion sense would unleash the power of the Eight Inner Gates, especially when he performed the Night Guy technique? It had filled him with worry.
He never expected that a Konoha jounin could burst out with such power in a short period, rivaling the strength of a Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and even pushing Yuyi Xuan Yue back at one point.
It was simply unbelievable!
Fortunately, Yuyi Xuan Yue was able to suppress Might Guy, who was a major wildcard in his plans.
"Excellent! Now, go ahead and release the Infinite Tsukuyomi!" Kurozuchi mentally cheered for Yuyi Xuan Yue.
However, his brows furrowed as he sensed something, and he turned his gaze in another direction. "Why is it that there's always someone causing trouble at the most crucial moments?"
"Sensei Might Guy!!!!"
Naruto, who had been delayed by Sasuke's heart-to-heart talk, rushed to the Shinju as quickly as he could.
His first priority was to reach Might Guy and use Yin-Yang Release to sustain his life.
After ensuring his sensei's survival, Naruto turned to face Yuyi Xuan Yue, his expression stern as he declared loudly, "Yuyi Xuan Yue, I won't let your scheme succeed!"
Yuyi Xuan Yue paid no heed to Naruto and continued ascending towards the sky.
Just as Kurozuchi could sense Naruto, Yuyi Xuan Yue was undoubtedly aware of his presence as well.
With the time having come, Yuyi Xuan Yue had no interest in idle chit-chat with the resurrected Naruto.
His sole purpose now was to unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Naturally, Naruto wasn't going to stand idly by and watch.
Just as he prepared to take action, Yuyi Xuan Yue turned and looked at him.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The repulsive force of the Six Paths jutsu instantly swept towards Naruto.
"Whoosh!" Naruto, along with the Sage Art sphere behind him, was pushed away.
Yuyi Xuan Yue turned his gaze away.
With no further interruptions, he continued his ascent.
In an instant, he reached the top of the Shinju.
The flower bud on the Shinju had fully bloomed, and the Rinnegan was ready to cast its genjutsu.
Everything was in place.
"Then... let's begin."
Suspended high in the sky, Yuyi Xuan Yue looked up at the blood-red moon that filled his entire field of vision and, without hesitation, performed the hand seals.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
