Chapter 842: The Six Paths Descends with Cheats!
Chapter 842: The Six Paths Descends with Cheats!
On the battlefield, Hyuga Tsukuyuki sensed something amiss.
Naruto, deeply corrupted by the Nine-Tails' chakra, was on the verge of manifesting his ninth tail, but the insidious erosion suddenly halted.
Indeed, this was a massive cheat! The Nine-Tails was the most formidable of all the Tailed Beasts, and there were indeed beings capable of withstanding its power.
For instance, Tang Ping, himself, the Red-Eyed... and so on; they could all endure it.
The question was, how could the opponent withstand it?
At that moment, Hyuga Tsukuyuki finally understood what it meant to be a 'protagonist'—it was because they could accomplish all sorts of inconceivable feats.
"Hole Wave!"
Extending his right index finger, he seized the opponent's motionless hand.
Whoosh!
A transparent spiral of chakra, like an indestructible spear, shot towards the opponent's head.
If piercing the heart wasn't enough to kill him, then surely smashing his skull would do the trick.
"Wood Style: Bag of Holding!"
A deep shout reverberated.
A massive wooden shield, resembling a fanged demon's face, enclosed Naruto, who was regaining consciousness, within its protection.
It was Senju Shusui!
He used Wood Style to safeguard Naruto.
And naturally, the Hole Wave couldn't penetrate this ultimate defense.
"Orochimaru, what's the meaning of this?"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki calmly turned in the air to face Orochimaru, who had just arrived.
Naruto was a member of the Hidden Leaf Village, and he was being captured by others, yet he saved Orochimaru? It was absurd.
"Perhaps the seal charm malfunctioned, allowing the First Hokage to regain control?"
Orochimaru spoke with uncertainty.
Indeed, he hadn't commanded this; suddenly, he lost control over Senju Shusui, allowing him to regain autonomy.
He couldn't even release the Summoning of the Dead now.
The forbidden technique had gone out of control.
Of course, he couldn't possibly reveal this.
"Regardless, your Akatsuki organization shouldn't be targeting the Hidden Leaf!"
Senju Shusui stood atop the wooden man, the Wooden Dragon coiled around the wooden figure. Having regained control of his body, Asuma and Da Wa also ceased their attacks.
In an instant, Hyuga Tsukuyuki found himself surrounded.
Orochimaru and Hyuga Tsukuyuki's advantage turned into a disadvantage.
However, facing this change, Hyuga Tsukuyuki showed no emotional turmoil, certain that this was part of the plan.
Today's plan, as Tang Ping hadn't revealed its entirety, was that they must deal a fatal blow to Naruto, the 'protagonist.'
That's why Hyuga Tsukuyuki struck with such ruthlessness, piercing his heart with the first attack.
Tang Ping hadn't intervened or issued new instructions, indicating that everything was under control. She only needed to continue pressing forward.
"You Leaf Village!"
"This high and mighty ninja village has never shown mercy to smaller villages!"
"It's because of the existence of powerful villages like yours that Akatsuki was born from pain!"
...
Hyuga Tsukuyuki, in the style of Nagato, began to speak directly.
Only a protagonist like Prince Naruto could be a mere Genin yet repeatedly defeat enemies with his words in battle.
So, if he wasn't the protagonist, who was?
Indeed, the concept was to let the major ninja villages taste the bitterness that the smaller villages endured, thereby achieving peace.
That's why he sought to collect the Ten-Tails to exert his influence.
"But that's not a valid reason for you to target the Leaf Village!" Senju Shusui objected, clapping his hands, "Wood Style: Bag of Holding!"
Several colossal wooden palms, like a heavenly canopy, emerged from the ground, reaching towards the floating Hyuga Tsukuyuki in the sky.
Currently, Senju Shusui himself didn't know how he broke free from the seal charm's control, so he could only seize the moment and act, fearing he might be controlled again and become useless.
If he could eliminate this 'evil' organization leader who kept a close eye on the Leaf Village, it would be fantastic.
"The Hokage faction truly lives up to its reputation as the 'Hypocritical Dogs' of the Shinobi World!"
Hyuga Tsukuyuki added a personal remark.
This statement somewhat clashed with Nagato's character, but she wasn't concerned about someone questioning her identity based on this single statement.
Hypocrisy!
Tang Ping criticizes the Hokage Faction, citing an example where the Hidden Leaf Village demands that ninjas prioritize missions above all else and forbids abandoning them. He mentions how White Fang, due to breaking this rule and choosing to abandon his mission to save his comrades, was forced to take his own life to atone for this disgrace.
Tang Ping argues that if they hold others to this standard, why didn't the Leaf Village F4, who served as the Second Hokage's escorts, face the same consequences when they abandoned their mission to protect the Hokage and retreated to the village? Although they claim that the Second Hokage ordered them to return, the fact remains that they failed in their mission, and yet, unlike White Fang, they didn't atone with their lives.
In other words, when others break the rules, it's considered a grave offense, but when they do it, it's dismissed as a minor issue. This is the epitome of double standards!
As Tang Ping speaks, Hyuga Tsukuyuki raises her hand and calls out.
"Divine Thunder Strike!"
An unmatched repulsive force sweeps across the battlefield, crushing the towering wooden palms that blocked the sun.
Crack! Crack!
"Is this the power of the First Hokage?"
Tsukuyuki holds no favor for the Hokage Faction, and her taunt carries a personal grudge.
Despite her docile demeanor beside Tang Ping, in private, she is ruthless and brutal. This is why Tang Ping ensures she is by his side whenever possible, fearing her potential for trouble.
Now, she has every reason to be angry, and she doesn't hold back.
"Pain, don't think you've bested the First Hokage!"
Asuma would never tolerate Pain's insult to Senju Shusui. After all, he was the founder and leader of the Hokage Faction, and disrespecting him is akin to disrespecting the entire faction.
Tsukuyuki, growing impatient with the group surrounding her, flies to the Barrage Shield where Naruto stands, spreading her arms wide in an embracing gesture.
Yes, she's about to unleash on Pain.
"Feel the pain!"
As she calls out, infinite white light surges forth, a manifestation of repulsive force taken to the extreme.
The world falls silent as everything is engulfed by this blinding white light.
The white light isn't merely a glow but a solidification of terrifying repulsive force.
Just as the situation reaches its climax—
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Below Tsukuyuki, the massive Fang Mask is pierced by enormous red fox tails.
Roar!
The battle resounds with the beast's roar.
The Nine-Tails makes its entrance, and with its nine tails, it disrupts the ongoing Divine Thunder Strike.
It's important to note that the Divine Thunder Strike was just unleashed, and Tsukuyuki subconsciously stopped it, allowing the tails to interrupt. Otherwise, this strike would have undoubtedly caused casualties.
Regardless of the others, Sai and Sakura would have undoubtedly been among the casualties.
However, Tsukuyuki, far from being upset that her attack was interrupted, smiles beneath her mask.
She has achieved her goal, and the praise she receives from Tang Ping through a quick message confirms her success.
Tang Ping had been waiting for this moment, and now it has arrived.
The Sage of Six Paths!
He has come.
No, to be precise, he has descended upon the battlefield.
It wasn't just now that he intervened; when Senju Shusui's seal lost control, Tang Ping had already sensed his presence.
But he couldn't be sure until the Divine Thunder Strike was mysteriously halted, confirming his suspicions.
Now, the consciousness of the Sage of Six Paths has descended upon this battlefield.
Unfortunately, this isn't the final battle to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki; otherwise, the Sage wouldn't just intervene indirectly but would directly elevate Naruto to the Six Paths level.
But it's enough for Tang Ping to achieve his goal.
Networking!
It begins.
Tang Ping crushes a prepared summoning jutsu without hesitation.
Instantly, a signal reaches Ton Gok, and they use summoning jutsu to send out a signal.
Strange scenes appear in multiple locations, swiftly enveloping the entire ninja world.
