Chapter 393: Chapter 393: Dad: That’s what Senior said
Dad once said, to deal with Chibaku Tensei, you use Chibaku Tensei.
When Sasuke used a stronger Chibaku Tensei, the dozen or so meteors falling from the sky suddenly seemed to be pulled in, one by one moving toward Sasuke’s Chibaku Tensei. With a burst of power, it didn’t even need to draw rocks from the ground. Just those dozen meteors alone completely filled up the Chibaku Tensei.
Inside the massive Chibaku Tensei, Madara was sealed as well. But his face didn’t change at all, not even a hint of worry.
Through the rocks, his Rinnegan looked at Sasuke outside. At this moment, the corner of Madara’s mouth lifted into a small smile. "With only the Six Paths Yin Power and the Rinnegan’s power, you can release something this huge... and you haven’t even used Otsutsuki power yet."
"If you added... all of the Six Paths power and the Otsutsuki power... just how strong would that be?"
Madara couldn’t help but smile.
Out of the five Six Paths inheritors here, Sakura was clearly the weakest. She only inherited part of the Sage power. Next were Naruto and Sasuke—one with Six Paths Yang Power plus Sage Power, the other with Six Paths Yin Power plus Rinnegan. Neither had the full Six Paths power, but both had stronger forms of their own.
The Otsutsuki power.
Naruto had Otsutsuki Hamura’s Tenseigan power, while Sasuke had Otsutsuki Urashiki’s Karma power.
Above them was Madara, with the complete Six Paths power, but he couldn’t use all of it. Other than Rinnegan power, Yang Power, and Yin Power, he didn’t know how to use Sage Power or Tailed Beast Power. More importantly, this power wasn’t even his own.
And the strongest of them all was Kurama.
He had the full Six Paths power, and it was all from his own training, not directly inherited from the Sage of Six Paths. So among everyone here, Kurama was the strongest—
As long as Naruto and Sasuke didn’t use their Otsutsuki powers.
If... just if...
You put together the full Six Paths power, the Otsutsuki power, and the Tailed Beast power—what would it look like?
No doubt, Otsutsuki Kaguya.
"I’m actually going to die in a place like this again." Madara chuckled softly. "Hashirama, I thought this time I’d won. Looks like it’ll take a bit longer to decide the winner."
Outside, seeing the meteor bigger than the whole Konohagakure, Naruto clenched his fists and shouted, "Now! All-out attack!"
Madara’s under control! He’s not purified yet!
Everyone, hit him hard!
Green chakra covered Naruto’s whole body. A bright blue light burst from his eyes, and endless chakra flared up with everything he had. "Six Paths Sage Art: Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Nine Truth-Seeking Balls spun rapidly, covered in green chakra, forming what looked like a long sword, swinging down toward the giant meteor.
Black markings burst from Sasuke’s shoulder. As bony horns grew, his blue Rinnegan shone, and that Otsutsuki chakra rose even higher. "Six Paths Sage Art: Heavenly Void Wave Purple Light Orb – Dragon Palace!"
A huge purple serpent opened its mouth, its body as big as a wooden dragon, roaring as it lunged at the meteor.
White chakra glowed brightly. Nine tails swayed behind him like Hagoromo’s robes. Kurama pressed his hands together, and his nine Truth-Seeking Balls slowly dissolved. "Six Paths Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Truth-Seeking Orb Wheel!"
A black wheel formed in his mouth, looking like a real comet as it shot toward the meteor with a white tail streaming behind it.
Sakura stood frozen. She wanted to join in, but... she didn’t know any ninjutsu like that.
She couldn’t exactly throw a medical jutsu in there, right?
Kakashi...
Where’s the others?
No idea. Anyway, when Tobirama looked at that glow in the sky, it felt like he was seeing heaven. If the underworld’s sky was darkness, then right now, the shinobi world was pure daylight.
No matter where you looked or where you were, as long as you lifted your head, you could see that endlessly shining sky.
Sound?
That didn’t matter anymore. The ones who should be deaf were already deaf, and the ones who weren’t probably couldn’t see much either. Tobirama felt lucky to be in Edo Tensei form—otherwise, he’d be rolling on the ground clutching his eyes right now.
Those three strikes from those three people... they were probably enough to wipe out any single country—or even more than one.
If that attack had hit the surface, not only the Land of Thunder, but also the Land of Earth, the Land of Wind, and even the Land of Water across the sea would have lost parts of their land. The Land of Thunder would most likely be gone completely.
Land of Thunder: narrowly escaped!
No one knew how long the light lasted, but even after it faded, the massive chakra explosion still blinded everyone’s senses. Forget chakra sensing—what they were seeing with their eyes might not even be real.
Naruto and Sasuke landed on the ground, breathing lightly as they deactivated their Otsutsuki forms, keeping only the Six Paths power while looking up at the sky.
"Feels like we haven’t used a ninjutsu this strong since our last big fight." Naruto let out a short laugh through his heavy breathing, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Even for us, unleashing this much chakra all at once is exhausting."
It wasn’t that they used too much—it was that they used it too fast, which left them slightly drained.
"This is probably the strongest attack I can do right now." Sasuke sat down heavily on a rock, his tomoe Rinnegan slowly spinning. "No way Madara could survive that, right?"
"No way. Even the Sage of Six Paths’ power isn’t invincible." Naruto sat down beside him with a silly grin, looking at the sky. "That means it’s over."
Kurama landed beside them, his huge body towering in front of them as he looked up at the sky. "Don’t jinx it. Unless you’re one hundred percent sure Madara’s dead, don’t say things like that."
Honestly, with such an obvious flag—and the whole ’smoke but no damage’ thing—if Madara wasn’t dead, this was going to get interesting.
As they were talking, a huge object fell from the sky, completely engulfed in flames, crashing into the ground with a deafening impact that made the earth tremble.
Kurama’s face stiffened. "No way..."
The next second, a deafening roar shook the skies. From where the thing had landed, a massive figure stood up, ten tails like giant arms lashing around as it howled at the heavens.
"The Ten-Tails!" Naruto shot to his feet, eyes wide with disbelief. "Madara’s still alive?"
Sasuke stood up too, his brows furrowed as his Rinnegan kept spinning.
A moment later, he let out a breath of relief. "I don’t see Madara. Probably because he died, and the Ten-Tails broke free from his body."
"Doesn’t a tailed beast die when its jinchuriki dies?" Naruto froze.
"Different level, I guess." Sasuke thought for a moment before replying. "It’s like Kurama now—if you die, it won’t affect him at all."
Naruto understood.
Kurama crouched slightly, glancing at the two of them from the corner of his eye. "We need to figure out how to pull the other tailed beasts out of the Ten-Tails, then seal away the Gedo Statue. And this time, we have to make sure it can never be summoned again."
"That’s easy." Naruto snapped his fingers. "Have Mom borrow your chakra one more time, and with me and Sasuke’s power, we’ll set up a seal. Unless someone’s stronger than the three of us combined, they won’t be able to summon the Gedo Statue."
He’s no newbie at sealing techniques anymore. He can easily handle something like this now.
