Chapter 722: Gao Da. Standing Tall on the Earth!
Chapter 722: Gao Da. Standing Tall on the Earth!
"Heavenly Rock Gate!"
Yuchiha Yaya's eyes transformed into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, unleashing its power.
Swish! The lights went out, plunging the surrounding area into darkness.
With the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, though she didn't gain new abilities, her existing Mangekyo Sharingan powers had significantly improved.
For instance, the Heavenly Rock Gate required less chakra and could now be adjusted in range.
This made it far more practical than before.
Previously, this ability could only be used as a trump card, but now it could be employed as a regular technique.
"Be careful!"
Tsunade's warning echoed through the pitch-black space.
They all understood that while this darkness prevented them from seeing, it didn't affect their hearing.
Tap! Jiraiya leaped, his wooden sandals lightly tapping the ground as he quickly set up the Celestial Cover Array.
This was a reconnaissance barrier.
In the original storyline, Jiraiya had used it against Nagato.
Suddenly, in the midst of the darkness, Jiraiya's body jerked, narrowly avoiding the blue electric current.
A sharp cry echoed as the Thousand Birds' cries rang out, revealing the incredible speed of Yuchiha Yaya's attack.
Breaking the sound barrier, indeed.
To be honest, many in the ninja world could achieve supersonic speeds with their physical bodies.
At the very least, the Fourth Raikage, Ay, could do it.
Yuchiha Izumi with her Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan could as well.
More importantly, Jiraiya's ability to dodge such attacks was truly impressive, and his danger intuition was commendable.
"Sword Leap Flame!"
Yuchiha Yaya performed a sword technique, using her hands as a substitute for a sword.
However, to her surprise, Jiraiya seemed to have predicted her moves, effortlessly dodging all her attacks.
Within the Heavenly Rock Gate, it was impossible for him to see.
In other words, he was blindly dodging her attacks.
Incredible!
Yuchiha Yaya couldn't understand how this was possible.
In terms of speed and reflexes, she was undoubtedly superior to Jiraiya, and even in a direct confrontation, he shouldn't have been able to dodge so easily, let alone while she was using the Heavenly Rock Gate.
"You've fallen for my trap!"
Jiraiya, who had just narrowly avoided Yaya's attack by predicting her attack pattern using the information he had, spoke up.
Hum! Layer upon layer of sealing runes, like tadpoles, crawled up her body.
The darkness dissipated, and the surrounding area was once again illuminated.
Yuchiha Yaya had released the Heavenly Rock Gate.
It was clear that Jiraiya had a countermeasure, and continuing to maintain it would only deplete her Sharingan's power and reveal information without any other benefit.
Only now did they see that the area around Jiraiya was free of camouflage, revealing altars, barrier jutsu formulas, and more.
A trap!
All the previous obstructions, Jiraiya entering Sage Mode, and more, were meant to lure Yuchiha Yaya into this trap.
Simple yet effective.
One had to admit that ninjas were indeed clever, capable of devising all sorts of tactical strategies.
"You don't think this is enough to control me, do you?" Yuchiha Yaya asked, her expression unchanged.
"This Inner Four Beasts Seal has cost us dearly. You will perish here," said Nara Shikaku, his face pale as he held his left arm and spoke.
To lure her into the trap, he had paid a heavy price.
This trap had been set up a couple of days ago when their Shadow Level Powerhouse had suddenly drawn attention.
Not only had they sacrificed many lives, but the materials consumed were also astonishing.
Creating a barrier capable of trapping a powerful Kage or even stronger entities was no easy feat, requiring both advanced techniques and materials.
Fortunately, Konohagakure had inherited the Uzumaki clan's barrier knowledge, and with Tsunade, a strong seal master, they were barely able to accomplish it.
While the sealing jutsu was incredibly complex to use, once the conditions were met, its effects were nothing short of divine.
As demonstrated at this moment!
Yuchiha Yaya was now under the control of the Inner Four Beasts Seal.
In the original storyline, Danzo had used the Inner Four Beasts Seal to seal a bridge, but this one was even larger and more powerful.
A lethal move!
No matter how powerful the opponent, once swallowed by the Inner Four Beasts Seal, survival was impossible.
Konohagakure had gone to great lengths to deal with Yuchiha Yaya.
Hum! The space slowly collapsed inward.
However, Yuchiha Yaya seemed oblivious to the impending danger, and with a slight parting of her lips, she said, "Do a bunch of ants think they can hunt a tiger?"
"She never put much stock in the decrepit folks of Konoha."
A massive purple radiance emerged, forming a giant half-skeleton on her body.
Susanoo!
She had never used it before to maintain secrecy.
After all, the Skyguard Tower in the past needed to keep a low profile, and lying low was the best strategy.
But now, things were different; the Skyguard Tower didn't need to be so discreet, and even if it were exposed, it wouldn't matter.
This was why Izumi, Yuchiha Sho, Yuchiha Shizuka, and others had all displayed Shadow Rank strength.
After Susanoo appeared, Yuchiha Yaya regained some of her mobility, and the spreading runes on her body slowed their expansion.
"Is the first stage not enough?"
She muttered to herself, and then from her clock-like dual pupils, a terrifying eye power burst forth.
The half-skeleton Susanoo quickly gained a network of blood and flesh, and then a layer of chakra armor appeared.
With this, even the half-body reached a height of over twenty meters.
Third Stage!
Yuchiha Yaya had no intention of taking it slow and directly skipped the second stage, entering the third stage.
And this stage was also the limit of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The shrinking Inner Four Beasts Seal also slowed down at this moment and was directly stopped by Susanoo.
As the 'Godly Power' Susanoo, its defense was not just against physical attacks; it was also highly resistant to illusions, seals, souls, and other such attacks.
Fortunately, the sealing technique was extremely special; otherwise, it would have been completely ineffective against Susanoo.
"Make your move!"
Jiraiya naturally understood that their carefully laid trap had been blocked by Susanoo, so he had to interfere.
However, despite giving the order, he himself didn't move a muscle, maintaining his posture of gathering natural energy.
Indeed, although he had activated Sage Mode to lure the enemy into the trap, he was genuinely entering Sage Mode.
Whether it was to prevent Yuchiha Yaya's escape using Sage Mode or to destroy the frontline defenses, it would work.
So, Jiraiya could only let the others take action.
"Air Strike!"
Tsunade punched out, shattering the air in front of her, forming a terrifying fist force.
"Wind Style: True Blade Dance!"
Asuma unleashed this S-class Wind Style technique.
This was Danzo's trump card, and he had also mastered it, but who knew what he had gone through to achieve it.
The one-armed Nara Kibi couldn't form hand seals, and the heavily injured Hana Inuzuka had fallen unconscious.
The most embarrassing situation might have been for Kibi and Doza Akimichi.
Because they didn't have powerful long-range abilities, and throwing kunai or other ninja tools was out of the question.
If they really wanted to use kunai, it would be a 'famous scene'.
Stabbing Susanoo with a kunai! It seemed there was no chance to replicate that move.
Boom!
Facing the fist force and Wind Style attack, the third stage Susanoo successfully blocked them, but the seal shrank a little more.
Inner Four Beasts Seal! But it would seal off a section of space, and once it shrank to a certain extent, there would be no escape.
"Let's show you the power of the Uchiha!"
Yuchiha Yaya knew she couldn't hold back anymore, and her dual pupils rapidly spun, releasing a terrifying aura that swept across the entire area.
"This..."
"How is this possible!"
...
Jiraiya and the others naturally sensed the change in Yuchiha Yaya.
A rumble sounded, and the half-body Susanoo at the center of the seal suddenly grew 'legs,' transforming from a half-body into a complete purple giant.
The complete Susanoo was the fourth stage.
Although it wasn't the final perfect form, it had surpassed the Mangekyo Sharingan level.
Its size exploded to seventy or eighty meters tall.
Yuchiha Yaya stood at its head, and the tadpole seal representing the seal on her body had already dissipated.
Facing this god-like Susanoo, the sealing trap was naturally ineffective, and even the originally shrunk Inner Four Beasts Seal was directly broken through.
If Dohei were here, he would have had something to say about it.
Gao Da. Standing on the Earth!
