Chapter 341: Anticipation and Entrapment
Chapter 341: Anticipation and Entrapment
"Chakra Unity."
This was one of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Bloodline Limit capabilities.
With his extensive knowledge of chakra, Hagoromo could briefly transform himself into a chakra entity, wandering the world and evading all bindings except the Ultimate Sealing Technique.
Initially, Hagoromo, who possessed another similar but more potent Rinnegan ability, didn't pay much attention to this power.
But unexpectedly, it came in handy at this moment.
Bound by the Harem Technique and unable to dodge in time, Hagoromo activated Chakra Unity, turning his entire body into chakra for a moment, effortlessly evading the Seekers and reconstituting his physical form behind Naruto.
Naruto's eyes were filled with regret as his plan was foiled at the last moment.
Just as he expected his other body to succeed,
Kaguya Otsutsuki also vanished from her body's sight.
Not only that,
but when Naruto looked again, he found himself in a world of ice and snow.
"Amenominaka!"
Just as Naruto was about to succeed, Kaguya used a technique unique to the Rinne Sharingan and transported them to the dimension of ice and snow.
In that instant, not only she but also the two thousand Naruto shadow clones and Hagoromo were transported to the Amenominaka's icy realm.
Naruto and his shadow clones found themselves unable to move.
As he looked around,
he saw that they, along with Kaguya Otsutsuki, were encased in a massive ice boulder.
Except for Hagoromo.
That guy had used another strange technique to free himself from the ice boulder.
Naruto glared at the nearby Kaguya, struggling to break free from the ice and press his palm, imbued with the Ultimate Sealing Technique, towards her.
At that moment, Kaguya moved.
She ignored the ice as if it didn't exist and passed through Naruto, defying physics, to appear behind him. She reached out and said, "This should be your main body, right?"
"Damn it!"
Naruto exerted force with his entire body, and although the ice boulder creaked, he would need a little more time to break free.
But time was not on his side.
Just as he felt a sense of despair,
a black portal from Yomi appeared before him, and a hand reached out, forcibly tearing through the ice and pulling Naruto into the portal.
Kaguya, her hand grasping at empty air, looked up and saw Hagoromo not far away.
Holding onto Naruto, Hagoromo smiled at her and said,
"I can't let you have your way."
Kaguya remained silent and quickly floated out of the ice boulder.
Crack! Crack!
The massive ice boulder instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering across the sky.
The Harem and Reverse Harem armies, still encased in the ice boulder and very noticeable, also turned into white smoke and disappeared.
"Damn it!"
Seeing his years of effort destroyed, Naruto struggled free from Hagoromo's grasp.
Hagoromo glanced at Naruto's right hand but didn't seem concerned.
Just now, he had intended to sever Naruto's right hand and use the Six Paths — Chibaku Tensei for himself.
However, after a thorough scan with his Rinnegan, he realized it would be pointless.
Similar to the Transcription Seal, the Six Paths technique that the Sage of Six Paths had transferred to Naruto had conditions for its activation.
Even if Hagoromo forcibly took it, it would be useless.
Even if he cut off the right hand, the seal would reappear on another part of Naruto's body.
However,
there were other ways to achieve his goal.
Hagoromo was deep in thought when,
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Kaguya, far from giving up, waved her sleeve, and countless giant ice spikes instantly shot out from various angles, densely covering Hagoromo and Naruto in a deadly barrage.
"Control the Myriad Ways!"
In the blink of an eye, the ice-blue spikes that were rushing towards them were now shimmering with a deep violet light.
The spikes froze in place and quickly turned purple.
This was just the beginning.
Soon, within a radius of nearly a hundred meters around Yuyi Xuan Yue, the ice and snow swiftly transformed into purple ice, rapidly spreading outwards.
Black Zetsu had planned for him to deal with Naruto first, but upon witnessing this scene, Kaguya Otsutsuki's pupils narrowed slightly.
Yuyi Xuan Yue locked eyes with her.
Under the influence of his ability, the already-enhanced purple ice spikes, now under his control, turned against Kaguya, piercing towards her.
Kaguya intended to use Nature Transformation to avoid the purple ice spikes but was surprised to find it ineffective.
She could only whip her long hair, shattering each incoming spike.
However, when she noticed the purple light spreading across the ice beneath her feet, she knew that at this rate, it wouldn't be long before the entire icy world was completely covered in purple.
Without hesitation, Kaguya activated the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead.
Instantly, the icy space disappeared.
It was replaced by a sand-filled space.
It resembled the desert of Wind Country, except the sand here was heavier and larger in grain size.
Naruto, who had just narrowly avoided the ice spike version of the Thousand Years of Death, was about to heave a sigh of relief when he saw the scene before him.
With a push of Kaguya's hands, a massive sand dragon, the Great Sand Eater, emerged, towering into the clouds. Countless sand grains, like bullets, rained down on Yuyi Xuan Yue and Naruto.
Behind Yuyi Xuan Yue, the Path-Seeking Bead moved on its own, flying in front of him and transforming into a huge protective barrier.
Not far away, Naruto did the same, summoning a protective barrier.
The yellow sand filled the entire space, obscuring their vision.
Yuyi Xuan Yue observed the scene calmly, his mind racing as he contemplated how to fully release the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei that Naruto held.
Given the Six Paths Sage's style, since he had identified Yuyi Xuan Yue as the greatest threat, he probably wouldn't just stand by and watch Naruto seal away Kaguya first.
There might be another trick up his sleeve.
After all,
"That was close!" Naruto's sudden exclamation interrupted Yuyi Xuan Yue's train of thought.
He turned to see that Naruto had almost fallen victim to Kaguya's Yellow Spring jutsu.
However, as the protagonist of this world, Naruto managed to escape, albeit narrowly.
While Naruto was unpredictable, there were times when one need not worry about him.
Yuyi Xuan Yue withdrew his gaze and, like Naruto, used the Yellow Spring jutsu to interfere with Kaguya, his mind continuing to ponder the situation.
Even if Kaguya and Naruto joined forces, it would be difficult for them to pose any threat to him.
The Sage of Six Paths should be well aware of this.
"So, what other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" Yuyi Xuan Yue asked with a crooked smile, anticipation clear in his voice.
He wasn't in a rush.
As someone who could briefly transform into chakra, he was well aware of how difficult it was to find the Six Paths Sage, who had maintained his chakra form for a millennium.
Now was the perfect opportunity.
He would wait for the Sage of Six Paths to fully enter the fray, and then he would capture him!
