Chapter 500: Ninjas Have Limits, Leyang Muyu, I'm Not Human!
Chapter 500: Ninjas Have Limits, Leyang Muyu, I'm Not Human!
After the Extreme Bliss Box was opened, Muyu's main body took the lead and entered the underground research base.
"Leyang Muyu! What's going on? Is it Konoha's doing?" A Grass Ninja, who hadn't been sucked into the Extreme Bliss Box, exclaimed in terror upon seeing the intruder.
"The Extreme Bliss Box has been opened. Even Leyang Muyu won't be a match for the Chief once the wish is granted, despite having access to the ultimate Six Paths ninja tools of legend," a high-ranking Grass Ninja quickly added.
He felt that the Extreme Bliss Box should at least provide some advantage against a powerful young ninja from one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, even if it was a legendary tool that granted wishes.
Muyu didn't bother conversing with the Grass Ninjas. With a casual wave of her hand, she released a burst of chakra, disposing of them effortlessly, and then walked over to Uzumaki Karin's side.
Upon sensing the arrival of Muyu's main body, the shadow clone voluntarily walked towards the profound entrance, where the light couldn't penetrate, and entered the Extreme Bliss Box.
According to Muyu's perception, the Extreme Bliss Box didn't seem to be able to block the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, being a cautious person, she wanted to test it herself to be sure.
A second later, Muyu's shadow clone reappeared beside Karin.
This time, Muyu could confirm that as long as one mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, they could enter and exit the Extreme Bliss Box at will, without being trapped.
After completing its mission, the shadow clone voluntarily dissipated, allowing its memories to flow back into the main body.
At this moment, Kakashi and Obito, along with their team, rushed in one after another.
"Ah, Teacher Muyu, you've taken care of everything already," Obito said, his face falling as he rushed into the underground base, taking in the sight of the fallen Grass Ninjas.
He had been worried that Muyu's strength would lead to a swift resolution, so he had pushed his breathing technique to the limit to accelerate his movement, but it seemed he still hadn't made it in time.
"So, this is the so-called Extreme Bliss Box?" Kakashi's gaze lingered on the strange, eye-catching giant box for no more than a second before turning his attention to the base itself, ignoring the fallen Grass Ninjas.
"What is the true nature of the Extreme Bliss Box? Is it a large-scale offensive ninja tool?" Nara Suzaku asked, his eyes narrowing as he examined the box.
"We're not sure yet, but the mission may not be over. The Grass Ninja Chief has entered the box," Muyu replied with a shake of her head.
Upon hearing this, Aburame Shino controlled a portion of his insects to fly into the dark entrance, intending to scout the situation inside the box.
"Insects... Lost contact," Aburame Shino reported briefly.
The moment his insects entered the Extreme Bliss Box, he lost the ability to control them through his secret technique, as if they had vanished into thin air.
"Why don't we send in a shadow clone to take a look?" Obito volunteered eagerly.
Hearing that their primary target was still alive, Obito's fighting spirit reignited.
However, the Extreme Bliss Box looked too eerie, and even Obito hesitated to send his actual body inside.
"This box seems suspicious. Let's use a shadow clone to investigate first," Kakashi agreed, nodding as he prepared to create a clone alongside Obito.
Just then, a figure emerged from the profound darkness.
"He's still alive," Kakashi said swiftly, reaching for his kunai as he prepared for battle. As the main target of their mission, he immediately recognized the man stepping out of the shadows as the Grass Ninja Chief, Yokokawa Tsuto.
Yokokawa Tsuto slowly walked out of the darkness, his chakra feeling strangely distorted.
"Impermanence, I should be the first..." Yokokawa Tsuto began, his eyes widening in confusion at the scene before him.
He wasn't surprised to see his Grass Ninjas lying on the ground, knowing that they wouldn't stand a chance against Muyu in their weakened state.
But the sudden appearance of eight Konoha ninjas baffled him. Had he been inside the Extreme Bliss Box for a long time, and now Konoha's ninja forces had arrived?
"Leyang Muyu? Very well, I shall test this powerful force on you." Yokokawa Tsuto's gaze landed on the most dazzling ninja among them.
In the past, Yokokawa Tsuto would have considered himself to have a three-to-seven chance against Muyu, needing seven attempts to win three times.
But today was different. Having undergone enhancement from the Extreme Bliss Box, he had broken through the limits of a ninja and become a superior, more powerful being.
He feared no one, not even the Yellow Flash combined with the Three Ninjas.
"I have already ascended to godhood!" Yokokawa Tsuto exclaimed, his face radiant with joy as he felt the endless surge of power within him.
Obito scratched his head, feeling that their opponent wasn't very intelligent. Testing his newfound strength on Muyu, a sage-level ninja, was foolish; he wasn't the Sage of the Six Paths.
"Grass Hidden Style: Hair Break Fist!"
Yokokawa Tsuto gathered a large amount of chakra in his fist and lunged forward with a loud whoosh.
Boom!
A loud collision echoed through the room as Yokokawa Tsuto was sent flying back even faster, crashing into the Extreme Bliss Box.
[Name: Yokokawa Tsuto (Enlightenment in Progress)]
[Chakra: 111000]
Datake revealed an 'I knew it' expression.
Kakashi's mouth twitched; he had almost unleashed the Transparent World just now because the Grass Ninja Chief was incredibly fast. Fortunately, his opponent was Mu Yue.
Yokokawa Tsuto climbed to his feet, his face flushed.
Something was amiss. Despite his enhanced strength, he couldn't react to Mu Yue's taijutsu.
"Leyang Muyu, you're somewhat capable. Now, witness the true power of a formidable opponent!" Yokokawa Tsuto dodged the attacks from Kakashi and his team, regaining his composure and confidence.
He hadn't fully unleashed the power he gained from the Extreme Bliss Box yet. No matter how strong Mu Yue was, she was still human and couldn't compare to his newfound divine power.
"Ninjas have their limits; it's time to experience the might of a god!"
Yokokawa Tsuto roared, and his body underwent a bizarre transformation. Thick, black hair sprouted from his body, and his flesh swelled as more hair burst forth, eventually turning him into a monstrous creature with giant wings.
BOOM!!
The underground base's ceiling shattered from the sheer size of Yokokawa Tsuto's transformation, sending large chunks of debris crashing down.
With a few flaps of his new wings, Yokokawa Tsuto turned the underground base into an open-air facility.
At this moment, Mu Yue sensed Yokokawa Tsuto's chakra surging rapidly in her perception.
"The real fight begins now!" The transformed Yokokawa Tsuto laughed heartily.
He felt infinitely stronger than before, with speed, strength, and defense all enhanced to an unprecedented level. He believed no ninja could surpass him.
"Die!" Yokokawa Tsuto flapped his wings, transforming into a black shadow as he charged towards Mu Yue.
Despite his massive form, Yokokawa Tsuto was swift. The powerful flaps of his wings created a fierce wind that blew the debris on the ground away.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
"Lightning Style: False Darkness!"
Kakashi and Tobirama immediately countered with their own jutsu, forming seals and launching attacks, but Yokokawa Tsuto dodged them all.
"Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Secret Insect Style: Beetle Tornado!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
Nara Suzaku and Maruxu Kong immediately joined the fray.
WHOOSH!
Before Nara Suzaku's Shadow Imitation Technique could take effect, Mu Yue suddenly appeared above Yokokawa Tsuto and threw a powerful punch infused with chakra.
"Exploding Fist!"
BOOM!!
Yokokawa Tsuto's gigantic body crashed to the ground, creating cracks in the floor, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Feeling the intense pain from the blow, Yokokawa Tsuto looked at Mu Yue with a mix of shock and confusion.
"Flying Thunder God Technique? You can use it like this too?" Yokokawa Tsuto recalled some information about Mu Yue.
He knew that Mu Yue, like the Yellow Flash, had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he didn't know the specifics.
Mu Yue's taijutsu also surprised him. Despite his body being a hundred times stronger than before, a single punch from her had made him spit blood. What kind of terrifying power was this? It could probably shatter mountains.
At that moment, the Shadow Imitation Technique took effect, and Yokokawa Tsuto was hit by the Water Dragon Bullet and Beetle Tornado.
However, this attack only served to reassure Yokokawa Tsuto that he wasn't weak; Mu Yue was just abnormally powerful, beyond the capabilities of a regular ninja.
Yokokawa Tsuto broke free from the Shadow Binding Technique with his enhanced body and abundant chakra, shouting, "Extreme Bliss Box, devour Leyang Muyu!"
Mu Yue's Flying Thunder God Technique was too troublesome, and Yokokawa Tsuto couldn't counter it, so he sought help from the Extreme Bliss Box, which had empowered him.
Extreme Bliss Box's interior, Mu: [...]
If it had that ability, why bother assimilating Yokokawa Tsuto? It could have directly controlled Mu Yue and destroyed the Extreme Bliss Box.
Since being sealed by the Sage of the Six Paths, Mu Yue was the first person to damage the Extreme Bliss Box from the outside.
Nevertheless, Mu decided to give it a try since there was nothing better to do.
Although it no longer had the power to create another Mu, controlling a human was still within its capabilities.
The remaining three masks inside the Extreme Bliss Box changed, and all the masks opened their mouths as wide as possible. A terrifying suction force emanated from within the box, pulling everything towards it, including Mu Yue and some fallen Grass Ninjas who were in the way.
Although he didn't understand what was happening, rescuing the ninjas in the village was the right thing to do.
However, Ryuhi underestimated the suction power of the Extreme Bliss Box. A Chunin who attempted to carry an injured Grass Ninja away was also sucked into the box along with the ninja he was trying to rescue.
Mu Yue contemplated for a moment, then shook her head and gestured for her approaching disciples to stop. She allowed herself to be pulled in by the suction force, entering the Extreme Bliss Box.
Mu Yue was unafraid as she could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape at any time.
With her ability to activate the Transparent World and the Byakugan, coupled with chakra reinforcement, Mu Yue was confident that even if a hair on her body was moved, she would immediately detect it and escape.
Currently, there were beings in the ninja world that she couldn't defeat, but there was no one who could stop her from running away.
As Mu Yue entered the Extreme Bliss Box, the suction force ceased, and the box returned to its previous calm state.
Yokokawa Tsuto watched as Mu Yue was engulfed by the profound darkness and eventually disappeared from view, unable to hold back his laughter.
No matter how powerful Leyang Muyu was, he thought it was absurd to think that he could be stronger than the treasure left by the Sage of the Six Paths.
"You're laughing as if you've won the battle," Datake said, rubbing his palms together eagerly, ready for a fight.
He wasn't too worried about Mu Yue because she had clearly entered the box of her own volition, indicating that she had a plan to deal with it.
"Be careful," Kakashi warned, his face serious. "This guy is strong. The only reason he's been losing is because of Mu Yue's greater strength."
He wasn't sure if Yokokawa Tsuto could still use ninjutsu, but in his current state, even if he fought like a regular beast with enhanced strength and speed, he would still be a formidable opponent.
"Where's Yokokawa Tsuto? Has he been dealt with?" Ryuhi asked, unable to find the Grass Ninja Chief at the scene.
"The giant monster before you is the Grass Ninja you're looking for," Shijima explained, stopping the infusion of chakra into his bent spoon and beginning to rapidly refine his chakra.
When facing an enemy, there was no need for morals; they had to do whatever it took to win.
Ryuhi stared at the giant, monstrous creature, dumbfounded. He had thought it was some kind of summoned beast, but it turned out to be Yokokawa Tsuto himself.
"Ryuhi, it seems I overestimated you. This is the extent of your power, and you can't even recognize your arch-nemesis?" Yokokawa Tsuto said, clearly disappointed in Ryuhi's performance.
Ryuhi: ...
The problem wasn't that Yokokawa Tsuto's transformation was too drastic; even if he had turned into ashes, it wouldn't have been as shocking as his current state. How could Ryuhi possibly recognize him?
"Yokokawa, surrender now. We know everything about your plans. If you continue this madness, you will only bring about the destruction of the Grass Ninja Village," Ryuhi attempted to persuade him to stand down.
At that moment, he only hoped to minimize the losses for the Grass Ninjas.
"How laughable. What difference does it make if you know? Leyang Muyu is as good as dead, and I have transcended humanity. The Grass Ninjas have nothing to fear from Konoha," Yokokawa Tsuto said disdainfully.
Yokokawa Tsuto's sole focus now was to have the Extreme Bliss Box absorb more nutrients and create more Grass Ninjas who surpassed human limitations, leading to the Grass Ninja Village dominating the ninja world.
"All Grass Ninjas, heed my command! Kill the Konoha ninjas immediately!" Yokokawa Tsuto bellowed, his voice echoing throughout the area.
Due to the commotion, Ryuhi had gathered all the Grass Ninjas he could, and not all of them were loyal followers of Ryuhi's faction, the Grass Flower.
Aburame Shino and Maruxu Kong stood protectively in front of Kakashi and the others, warily eyeing the surrounding Grass Ninjas.
The Grass Ninjas looked at each other, unsure of what to do. If Yokokawa Tsuto had been in his usual state and gave them orders, they would have immediately obeyed. However, his current appearance was too bizarre.
Whoosh!
Yokokawa Tsuto's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared before one of the Grass Ninjas. With a swift motion of his sharp claws, he tore the ninja into several pieces, spraying blood everywhere.
"Death is the only punishment for traitors!" Yokokawa Tsuto coldly declared, flicking the blood off his claws.
Ryuhi stared at Yokokawa Tsuto, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"You're not Yokokawa. The real Yokokawa is dead," Ryuhi said, his gaze fixed on Yokokawa Tsuto's monstrous form. He had realized that the Yokokawa he knew would never brutally kill his comrades. This creature before him was merely a monster with Yokokawa's memories.
Grateful for Ryuhi's attempt to buy time, Shijima, who had fully recovered his chakra, looked at Datake and Kakashi, signaling that it was time to make their move.
