Chapter 251: Final Battle (Part 2)

This this is

The sky suddenly turned dark, two figures attacked instantly, this immediately left the ninjas on the ground stunned.

And when they saw the huge meteors suddenly appearing in the sky, they all froze.

You're joking, right?

How can we possibly block this?

We're doomed.

I don't know how many ninjas at this moment have completely lost their senses or are frightened, or are foolishly staring at the sky.

Such dense and huge meteors appeared one after another, completely covering the entire area; this sight made everyone feel despair!

They had indeed encountered such a move as Heaven-obstructing Shock Star before; indeed, to deal with this, many of them had practiced similar coordination.

The facts proved that this was still okay, but only just okay; being able to handle a single meteor falling could be considered barely coping.

But at this moment, no one could say how many meteors were in the sky; once they fell, this area would be completely wiped out!

Anyone in this area would probably have only one fate.

Damn, how did it come to this?

Minato watched the meteors continually falling from the sky, his expression also turned grim.

Damn lunatic.

In the distance, Madara and ZhuZhang had just killed Momoshiki not long ago, when they suddenly noticed the change in the sky; and as they raised their heads to look,

Their expressions also changed dramatically at this moment; they could feel even more strongly how powerful the energy of these meteors in the sky was.

They clearly understood one thing: once such dense meteors fell, not only would this area be destroyed, but the entire ninja world would be affected!

This

Senju Clan's Feimian also stared blankly at the meteors in the sky; his scalp really felt numb.

What the hell are these monsters? No wonder my older brother decided I couldn't participate.

Uchiha Clan's Quannai also wore a look of helplessness; such an offensive is impossible for any ordinary person to counter.

Teacher, it looks like our battle has to be paused for now.

In the distance, Nagato and Konan stood together, cautiously watching Tsunade and Ziraiye opposite them.

However, at this moment they also had no will to keep fighting; looking at the dense meteors in the sky, anyone would be unable to continue fighting.

They also felt a bit dazed; how did the situation become so uncontrollable?

Those so-called Big Tubular Trees, are they really starting to go berserk?

Just thinking about this, they really could barely stand; after exchanging a glance, both sides instantly turned into streams of light and headed off into the distance.

In this situation, ordinary people would have long since desperately tried to run outward, but they instead came inward.

Konan, you.

Nagato quickly went forward, just glanced at Konan beside him, he finally couldn't help but speak, but his words hadn't even been uttered before Konan interrupted him.

You can't escape; rather than this, wouldn't it be better to go over and see if we can do something, right?

Konan's words left Nagato speechless for a moment, but he eventually nodded.

This range, this scale, he could also judge that perhaps the entire ninja world might be affected!

If so, it might be better to go over and do what we can; but soon he suddenly laughed.

Konan, being able to be friends with you and Yahiko is my lifelong fortune.

This is no less my fortune as well.

Konan laughed and shook her head, her gaze turned forward and she then spoke softly.

Moreover, we might not be completely hopeless; don't forget that Yuzhi, the Hokage, is still fighting desperately.

As soon as her words fell, Konan froze completely; not only her, but Nagato, Ziraiye and Tsunade who had rushed over as well.

Also the Akatsuki Organization members who had long been hidden on the battlefield, as well as Naruto, Sasuke and Neji, and all the ninjas present were somewhat dazed.

Their gazes were somewhat blank as they looked at the sky——

You

Above the sky, Yishi looked at Yuzhi with a ferocious expression; he really wanted to see what this kid would be like after his 'sole weakness' was crushed.

Since he refuses to cooperate, and this guy's strength is outrageously strong, I have no way to escape; I might as well destroy everything he cares about!

Since I'm not doing well, you don't get to be comfortable either!

However, at this moment, Yishi inexplicably felt something was off; the guy's aura seemed to have subtly changed.

And under his Byakugan observation, he seemed to have found some clues.

This guy

His life level has risen again? Impossible! How could it be? He has no fruit, he hasn't devoured any life, how

That inner feeling, along with everything he saw, made Yishi feel unable to comprehend.

The rise of life level is the key to Big Tubular Tree evolution; it is essential for the Big Tubular Trees to advance toward the 'Big Tubular Tree God'.

How did he do it?

How did he manage to do it?

That aura, that immense chakra, cannot be concealed or deceived!

Are you ready? Now is the true beginning.

Just then, Yuzhi's aura stabilized, that immense Nature's Power permeated the universe, and he also spoke.

What are you saying, brat!

Yishi's expression changed slightly; that sense of crisis seemed to become more apparent.

I am saying

As Yuzhi's gaze locked completely onto Yishi's body, his Samsara Eyes began to spin.

Slowly, these comma-shaped jade began to split, then distributed across the concentric growth rings of the Samsara Eye.

When the nine comma-shaped jade fully condensed, Yuzhi's aura instantly peaked, and in an instant the power of time burst forth.

Such time control instantly slowed the falling speed of the meteors on the horizon considerably!

If he focused on dealing with these meteors, concentrating on destroying and resolving them, Yuzhi could certainly do that now, but right now he wants to do something else.

"Are you ready?"

As the words fell, Yuzhi instantly rushed to Yishi's face; that speed seemed to completely transcend time's shackles, and he now only wanted to kill Yishi!

"Damn bastard, go die!"

Yishi seemed to be enraged by Yuzhi; he moved, and the black staff in his hand swung down at Yuzhi with a boom.

Yet at this moment, time seemed completely under control, and Yuzhi dodged the black staff's attack without any effort.

Immediately after, Yuzhi threw a punch; Yishi didn't even have time to react before being blown away by it.

The massive vortex instantly threw everything around into chaos, even the void seeming unable to withstand such energy overflow.

Countless spaces collapsed directly, revealing pitch-black cracks like black holes.

And having done all that, Yuzhi didn't pause at all; his body vanished again the instant Yishi was blown away.

Boom!

The earth violently trembled, countless cracks rapidly spreading outward; the giant axe in Yishi's hand shattered outright, and he was flung backward once again.

"What on earth is going on?"

Yishi was dazed, he really was dazed now.

In the Leaf Village he couldn't figure out how this guy had suddenly become so extravagant.

He couldn't understand why Yuzhi's aura would suddenly run wild, why this guy's life force would directly surge, or what secret this guy hid.

His resistance now also seemed unusually feeble; yes, his current situation could only be described as resistance.

Before, he had already been suppressed by Yuzhi into a turtle, only able to passively defend, but Yuzhi also couldn't break through.

But now, this guy's attack power has seen a significant increase.

The combination of ninjutsu and taijutsu, an attack filled with Nature's Power, temporal power, and even spatial power, truly exceeds his endurance.

Under such an onslaught, Yishi was constantly retreating, even finding it hard to defend!

"No! Impossible!"

Yishi roared, swinging his black staff again, but this time Yuzhi had no intention of dodging at all.

The black staff passed through Yuzhi's body as if striking air, and the next moment Yuzhi's attack descended as well.

That terrifying blade-swing speed left Yishi chilled, and he clearly sensed that the blade bore not only Nature's Power but also temporal power.

This guy is using temporal power to accelerate himself!

「Little Famous Deity! 」

At the critical moment, Yishi barely avoided Yuzhi's blade with his eye technique, but the next instant he suddenly felt his surroundings freeze.

And Yuzhi swung another blade; this time he felt his surrounding space locked down, making it hard to evade.

Hum—

The intense roar even caused space to show extreme distortion, and in the next instant a shockwave surged forth, heavily smashing the shattered earth.

Accompanied by what seemed like an endless roar, a huge pit over a kilometer in diameter appeared on the ground. —

"Is this... Yuzhi's power?"

Countless ninjas dodged the endless energy fluctuations while blankly staring at this scene before them.

Watching the surging light, watching the meteors whose falling speed was obviously suppressed, they all went numb.

Even many perished from the aftermath of Yuzhi and Yishi's battle, yet they still stared blankly.

Their mouths had long been agape, for they never imagined they could witness such a scene—this truly surpassed their imagination.

Yuzhi had long been a legend in the ninja world, beyond doubt, and everyone had some understanding of his strength.

That Madara Uchiha, who could crush a ninja army with his own power as if playing, was obviously no match for Yuzhi.

But they truly did not know what their real destructive power was, or how much devastation Yuzhi could cause when he went all out.

But now they seemed to have realized something, looking at the torn earth, at the apocalyptic scene before them.

Such a person could completely destroy the world with his own power!

"Everyone, now is not the time for sighing!"

Just as everyone was dazed, Minato Namikaze came to his senses, seeing that battle that seemed like a divine clash.

He also looked at the roaring Ten Tails and the meteors in the sky that, though slowed, kept falling, and he shouted aloud after regaining his senses.

"The battle hasn't ended, the Ten Tails haven't been eliminated, the meteors keep falling—now is not the time to relax!"

I know we've reached a desperate situation; whether it's the Ten Tails, the Hokage's battle aftermath, or the meteors in the sky, any could easily take our lives.

But we cannot escape; no one can avoid this range, we cannot flee, and with so many meteors descending, the entire ninja world will be affected!

For the people in the village, for our families, we must rally and eliminate the current hidden dangers!

We must give it our all for ourselves and our families! 」

Minato's words weren't loud, especially amidst the Ten Tails' roar and the battle between Yuzhi and Yishi, making them seem exceedingly faint.

But with the aid of chakra and Yamanaka Inoichi, everyone present could still hear clearly.

At this moment, all the ninjas came to their senses, slowly raising their heads to look toward the horizon.

The meteors were still falling, not far from them now, and their immense weight and extreme oppression already made breathing impossible.

Beside those meteors, they could actually see with the naked eye the unmistakable traces of temporal power, which was holding back the meteors' accelerated fall.

These meteors were merely slowed by temporal power, but their destructive force likely remained unchanged.

At this very moment, the gazes of these ninjas also became resolute.

Indeed, perhaps only a handful of them might survive, but no matter what, they have to give it their all!

It's not for anything else; at the very least, they must fight for their homes, for their families, and even for this ninja world.

Perhaps their strength truly cannot compare to someone like Yuzhi, who could be called a deity, and perhaps in the eyes of the powerful they are nothing but ants.

But no matter what, they must do something; no matter what, they absolutely have to do something!

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

Just as they made their resolve, a huge wooden figure suddenly appeared on the ground.

The wooden figure leapt up and smashed a meteorite with a fierce punch, while the wooden dragon beside it likewise slammed hard into the meteorite.

"Susanoo!"

At the moment the wooden figure appeared, a huge blue Susanoo also appeared beside it, and the Susanoo leapt into the air to strike the meteorite.

"ZhuZhang, let's see who can smash more!"

"Then let's do it!"

Ban and ZhuZhang exchanged a glance, their movements began to speed up, and as they moved in, a huge toad, slug, and great snake appeared one after another.

"It really brings back memories."

Orochimaru stood on the giant snake, looking at Tsunade and Ziraiye beside him, he licked his lips and laughed in a hoarse voice.

"You idiot, bringing a Banzang to cause us trouble is really boring."

Ziraiye's face broke into a smile, but his mouth kept complaining.

"Get moving, quit the chatter."

Tsunade looked at the dense meteorites and couldn't help but sigh.

"How pathetic, I actually have to die together with you two idiots—heaven is really unfair."

"Maybe I won't die, and perhaps I'll even revive you guys later."

Orochimaru chuckled indifferently, looking at the two before him, his smile slightly fading.

"Don't die easily, after all I could also have bad luck—be careful."

"No need for you to say."

Ziraiye smiled indifferently, looking at the meteorites in the sky he said seriously.

"Even if I die, I'll die before you—I'll protect you!"

No sooner had his words fallen than Ziraiye entered Sage Mode, taking Hamatsu Wenta and leaping toward the meteorites.

"What an idiot, do I even need your protection?"

Tsunade snorted and shook her head, though a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Let's go, slug!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

"Well, I should take action too."

Orochimaru looked at the two of them and couldn't help lightly licking his lips.

"It really brings back memories—I haven't felt this way in ages!"

Thinking this, Orochimaru also charged forward unwilling to be outdone; the feeling of fighting side by side with three indeed made his mood exceptionally pleasant.

Even though he knew, this time probably nobody would come out unscathed.

"Kakashi, this is the final blossom of youth!"

Akai gave Kakashi a thumbs-up; his teeth were still bright white.

"Perhaps we can't reach Yuzhi's height, but we can still have a good contest to see who can smash more."

"Mm-hmm, then let's do it."

Kakashi's eyes turned into crescents; afterward he looked behind him, where Lin, Asuma, Chiba and others were present, their gazes also turned to the sky.

Moreover, at this moment they had all made preparations, which caused Kakashi's heart to start pounding.

"Although we can't guess the outcome, perhaps this process is also a kind of enjoyment!"

The next moment, Kakashi led the group forward; they quickly formed seals and attacked the meteorites in the sky with ninjutsu.

The people of Mist Village led by Zhaomei Ming also rushed ahead, and Woairuo continuously used Magnet Release's yellow sand to attack the meteorites.

In an instant, the horizon filled with various brilliant glows, the condensation of countless ninjutsu.

"Damn."

On the other side of the battlefield, Naruto, Sasuke, and Ningji dodged and destroyed the meteorites while attacking the Ten-Tails.

They all knew the situation was somewhat bad, but none of them relaxed.

But at this moment they were unusually silent, for they knew exactly how many would die if this continued, and their hearts were filled with anger and resentment.

"Naruto, don't let yourself be affected."

Just then, Sasuke suddenly spoke.

"Look, everyone is giving their all, doing what they must; we absolutely cannot hold back!"

"But."

Naruto clenched his fists; he wanted to go help, but the Ten-Tails would absolutely not be easier than the meteorites.

If they left, a single Tailed Beast Ball from the Ten-Tails could likely deal a devastating blow to all the ninjas present, plunging them into a dire dilemma.

"No buts!"

Sasuke shouted loudly, he solemnly spoke while gazing at the gathering power.

"Do our own duty; only then can we face everyone, face our father, face everyone!"

"If we focus on this and lose that, once we let the Ten-Tails escape, what will the consequences be? Don't you know that?"

"Having said that, Sasuke took a deep breath, ignored Naruto beside him, and instead looked at Ning Ci, whose expression was equally solemn."

"Ning Ci, I'm begging you, please be sure to draw his attention; this time we must definitely seal him!"

"Hearing Sasuke's words, the three fell silent for a moment, then all nodded; this is exactly what they most need to do right now!"

"Huh?"

"However, at that very moment, they suddenly froze."

"Then they saw a woman with silver long hair, her whole body covered in a white robe, flying toward them——"

"Standing in midair, looking at the struggling Yi Shi rising below, Yuzhi remained silent, but his whole body was poised to strike."

"He had already delayed the meteor's fall as much as possible, but he also knew that delaying was just delaying; the effect of time could not change the destruction caused by the meteor."

"Compared to the alteration of time, everything will fail at the moment of landing; what he must do now is to kill this guy, and"

"Gouge out this guy's eyes!"

"You lost."

"However, Yi Shi struggled to his feet at this moment, looking at Yuzhi in the sky, he suddenly revealed a smile."

"Indeed, I lost to you in battle, but facing this world, I have won!"

"Having said that, Yi Shi's gaze turned backward; even though countless ninjas were continuously attacking, even though ZhuZhang and Ban had already joined the battlefield."

"But these meteors were unleashed by Yi Shi at the cost of his life; such a huge quantity and terrifying mass are not something that can be easily blocked."

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

"The dense rumbling echoed across the earth; the shockwaves generated by that extreme power kept sweeping, and even if Yuzhi didn't turn his head to look, he could still imagine that scene."

"But such rumbling could not stop the ninjas' roars, nor could it stop their determination to charge recklessly at those meteors."

"Indeed, it looks like we've lost."

"After a while, Yuzhi suddenly sighed; at the same time he slightly raised his hand, and the Ninja Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with terrifying power."

"But, what I wanted to see has also appeared."

"Oh?"

"Yi Shi gave Yuzhi a strange glance; he now seemed not to care so much about life or death."

"It seems you have become a qualified Otsutsuki; you simply don't care about those people's lives or deaths, do you?"

"Perhaps, but who can say for sure?"

"Yuzhi leveled the blade of his sword slightly forward, and at the same time, a vast amount of chakra surged down from the heavens!"

"He looked at Yi Shi before him, and suddenly he revealed a smile."

"What I want is exactly this will, the will that dares to charge forward despite the strength."

"What I want is their mindset, the mindset willing to sacrifice one's life to protect one's homeland."

"This is precisely what I most want to see, what I most long to obtain; I must say, I truly need to thank you."

"If it weren't for your desperate effort, I probably wouldn't even be sure they already had such a mindset."

"As he spoke, the void began to tremble; extreme radiance shone on Yuzhi's body, and a terrifying aura had completely locked onto Yi Shi!"

"This is."

"Yi Shi looked in disbelief at the floating Yuzhi in the sky; at this moment he already felt a threat to his life."

"What kind of power is this?"

"How did this guy manage to control these powers so perfectly despite such strength?"

"Just who is this guy?"

"Why can he do this?"

"Despair began to envelop Yi Shi's heart; time had already locked onto him, as if he were fixed by time, frozen in place, unable to move at all."

"But such a mindset and will could never be inherited, nor could they be easily passed on!"

"It seemed he sensed he was truly heading toward a dead end; Yi Shi's gaze grew somewhat hollow, and he tried as much as possible to mock Yuzhi."

"Everything has been destroyed; everything has been destroyed by me; you have no chance, and you could never have that chance!"

"Yeah, perhaps everything looks destroyed."

"Yuzhi lightly nodded, but he now also found himself in a strange feeling."

"With the gentle turn of the magatama in the Samsara Eye, a sense of flowing time immediately arose."

"As the magatama spun more times, accompanied by that aura of ages, came an even more world-shattering explosion."

"Nature's power and his own power intertwined, growing ever tighter, and as he used his eye technique, it intensified further."

"I don't know why, but he seemed to still hear the sound of a river echoing!"

"This is."

"At first, he thought it was his own illusion."

"But soon his eyes swept around, and he astonishedly discovered that he really saw a river flowing around his body!"

"That river was illusory and disordered, appearing utterly devoid of vitality, especially as it constantly exuded an aura of time's decay."

"Along with the river's flow, Yuzhi seemed to gain some insight."

"This is, the so-called true 'Nature's Power', the so-called 'laws of nature'?"

"Nature's Power has existed from beginning to end, but just how much it contains, no one can really say."

"Countless people have thought they could alter and command nature, but in the end they discovered they had merely found a manifestation of 'natural power'."

"Whether those patterns or rules, they have actually always been there."

Can you discover and perceive them? But that's another matter altogether.

Perhaps, to discover and explore everything about them, only by delving deep into them oneself can one possibly achieve that.

But I said before, I want to thank you.

For some reason, Yuzhi's mood suddenly improved greatly.

That Nature's Power kept flowing through his body, and the rules belonging to nature kept appearing before his eyes.

The river water continued to flow, remained silent and soundless, remained filled with the aura of death and withering, but such an aura had slowly spread onto his blade!

"Ten Tails is a pretty good thing, and so are your eyes.

I'm sorry you can't see all this, but I'm very grateful that you helped me accomplish all of this.

Friendly reminder, have you been keeping up with how the Ten Tails are doing now?"

"Ten Tails?"

Yi Shi's eyes narrowed slightly; the woman who killed Pu Shi had already appeared beside the Ten Tails!

He opened his mouth, still wanting to say something, but at that very moment, Yuzhi's Ninja Sword slowly fell.

In an instant, time seemed to be cut off, and the void seemed to shatter.

That boundless power instantly spread outward in all directions, expanding in all directions, but eventually it coalesced together, forming a stream of light.

In a heartbeat, all things fell silent, and spacetime nearly came to a complete halt!

The swift annihilating power devoured Yi Shi; at this moment, time was frozen, and space was destroyed.

Yi Shi's mouth opened slightly, but in the end he uttered no words; yet his life seemed to be severed from time, completely obliterated by that boundless power.
