Chapter 368: Attack of the Dragon Vein
Chapter 368: Attack of the Dragon Vein
Hagoromo Otsutsuki immobilized Yu Yi Xuan Yue, but he was still free to fight back.
Under the power of the Six Paths, the vibrant and colorful Six Paths Jutsu erupted from him, inundating Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki.
While Kaguya Otsutsuki possessed an immortal body, Yu Yi Xuan Yue's main onslaught focused on Uchiha Madara.
Although Madara could also wield the Six Paths Jutsu, it paled in comparison to the might of the same technique empowered by the Six Paths Sage Mode.
Additionally, with the Shin Sukunahikona no Kami, he could absorb powerful techniques at any time.
For a time, Madara, who had become a living target, was battered and bloody, his flesh torn open.
Kaguya Otsutsuki glanced at her temporary ally, Madara, whose situation had taken a turn for the worse, and then at Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who was in a similar predicament.
At this moment, her Co-Op Funeral Bone Needles could play a decisive role.
However...
Kaguya's gaze shifted away from Yu Yi Xuan Yue and the light wheel behind him.
If she were to use that technique now, it would only spell doom for Madara.
Kaguya lowered her eyelids, her floor-length blue and white hair billowing as she ignored the approaching Konoha ninja. Countless sharp rabbit hair needles continued to shoot toward Yu Yi Xuan Yue.
Yu Yi Xuan Yue could endure, but Madara was on the brink of collapse.
Riiiip!
A laser-like Storm Release jutsu tore a gaping hole in Madara's left shoulder.
The wound quickly stopped bleeding, but it was evident that it wouldn't heal as swiftly as before.
Madara was all too aware of his current state.
He looked deeply into Yu Yi Xuan Yue's eyes and murmured, "Hashirama, have you ever considered that in another world, there might be someone of our generation who is equally renowned or even stronger?"
"It seems... Madara can't hold on any longer!"
Outside the battlefield, Kushina observed Madara's deteriorating condition and contrasted it with Yu Yi Xuan Yue's and Kaguya's immaculate white robes, which remained untouched.
"You despicable Uchiha Madara! Just die already!"
Within the sealing space, the Nine-Tails felt even more hatred and resentment toward Madara, having once again laid eyes on him—the culprit who had controlled it and forced it to be sealed within a jinchuriki.
"I think we should withdraw immediately," Orochimaru suggested, having unconsciously retreated to the back of the group.
If Madara were to perish, the balance would be shattered, which wouldn't bode well for them as outsiders.
Danzo, who had been forced to come along by Hiruzen, nodded in agreement, wanting to maintain his image as a leader.
Initially, he had thought that since he was already here, he might as well contribute something.
However, witnessing the display of power that could uproot countless massive trees, he realized that his presence, hidden beneath those very trees, was futile.
"Such power..."
Witnessing the terrifying might that Yu Yi Xuan Yue displayed while facing two formidable opponents, Danzo's eyes flickered with fear and a burning desire.
If only he could attain such power...
No, even a fraction of it—a tenth or a twentieth—would suffice!
Then, Hiruzen wouldn't be able to suppress him anymore, and Konoha would flourish under his leadership, surpassing the eras of the First and Second Hokage!
"Just a little longer... a little longer..."
Danzo silently pleaded, hoping to wait until the battle concluded.
Once it was over, he would immediately send people to collect any remnants of blood, flesh, or cells left on the battlefield. Even the slightest gain from researching those remnants would be a significant advantage for him.
Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was for him and his companions to escape safely.
The Konoha ninja could clearly see the current state of affairs.
The Six Paths Sage, residing within Uchiha Madara's body, was keenly aware of this development.
"It seems I still fall short," the Six Paths Sage from the original world sighed deeply.
The Six Paths Sage of this world remained calm and said, "We have no choice but to resort to the alternative plan."
"The Dragon Vein?" The original world's Six Paths Sage frowned. "Do you have the confidence to use the space-time power of the Dragon Vein to expel Yu Yi Xuan Yue from this realm?"
"The Dragon Vein is an otherworldly existence, and even you and I cannot fully control it. Given the circumstances, we have no choice but to take a risk."
The Six Paths Sage of this world didn't have full confidence either.
But as he said, if things continued as they were, Uchiha Madara's fate was sealed.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, of the Otsutsuki clan, would not be able to hold out alone, even if they returned their chakra to their mother. Ultimately, the likelihood of them being sealed was high.
Now, there was only one option left.
To utilize the power of the Dragon Vein.
"Then let's begin!" The original world's Six Paths Sage also understood this and said in a low voice.
And so!
Just as the Konoha ninja turned to retreat, Uchiha Madara, already severely injured, and the countdown on the Heavenly Stone of Great Lord Otsutsuki neared its end.
ROAR!
A high-pitched dragon's roar reverberated through the sky.
An immense amount of blue chakra, like a volcanic eruption, rose from the ground.
Guided by the Six Paths Sage, an endless dragon composed of Dragon Vein chakra emerged from the depths of the earth, charging towards Yu Yi Xuan Yue with overwhelming might.
"This chakra..."
Kaguya Otsutsuki reached out and grabbed some of the nearby Dragon Vein chakra, and as soon as she drew it into her body, she frowned slightly.
Unlike any chakra she had encountered before, the Dragon Vein chakra seemed to possess a sense of self-awareness. She could borrow its power, but she couldn't make it completely her own like other chakras.
During her reign over Earth, the Dragon Vein did not exist.
Even during her days with the Otsutsuki clan beyond the stars, she had never heard of the Dragon Vein chakra capable of traversing space and time.
At that moment, as she watched the Dragon Vein collide with Yu Yi Xuan Yue, Kaguya, aware of Yu Yi's intentions, immediately extracted the recently absorbed Dragon Vein chakra from her body and flashed to an area devoid of Dragon Vein chakra to avoid being affected by the upcoming events.
At the same time!
Yu Yi Xuan Yue faced the oncoming Dragon Vein.
To many, the Dragon Vein chakra seemed infinite, and its explosive power was unstoppable.
But to Yu Yi, it was insignificant.
What truly concerned him was the Dragon Vein's ability to traverse space and time.
As the Dragon Vein drew closer, a familiar white light suddenly burst forth from his body, growing more and more intense.
Neither Naruto nor Kaguya Otsutsuki exhibited such a reaction.
Having already sensed the faint traces of temporal turbulence, Yu Yi Xuan Yue knew that he must not be touched by the Dragon Vein.
WHOOSH!
A rhombus-shaped talisman flew out from his sleeve and hovered in front of him, facing the approaching Dragon Vein.
For the first time, Yu Yi Xuan Yue performed hand seals, saying:
"Hurry, as the law commands!"
Instantly!
The talisman erupted with an aura similar to that of the Dragon Vein.
The massive dragon, charging at full speed, suddenly froze in mid-air, unable to move forward.
"What's happening? Why isn't the Dragon Vein under our control?"
"That talisman! The guardians have become thieves! The Lurans could not resist the allure of the Dragon Vein's power and spent a significant amount of time crafting that talisman to control the Dragon Vein."
The two Six Paths Sages exchanged words, and with their insightful gaze, they quickly understood the truth behind the talisman.
However, knowing the truth did little to alleviate the grave situation they now faced.
