End of Chapter 641
"As expected, you won't let this thing go."
Naruto looked up at the enormous beast, the Ten-Tails, whose outline slowly emerged from the white smoke of the summoning jutsu.
Its size is the largest life form to appear on this battlefield so far, with a length of over a thousand meters from head to tail. Standing in front of it, even the complete Susanoo looks like a child standing next to a normal person.
Its body is gray, resembling both a human and a beast, with twisted muscles intertwined together. The most bizarre thing is its tail, the ends of which are not ordinary tail tips, but complete hands with fingers.
The moment this behemoth appeared on the battlefield, the sheer volume of air pushed the Susanoo Nine-Tails backward dozens of meters. Its claws plowed four deep furrows in the ground before it could barely regain its footing.
"The chakra of the One-Tailed and the Nine-Tailed is incomplete, yet you still managed to summon it... How did the Sage of Six Paths manage to divide this thing into the rather cute nine tailed beasts back then?" Naruto remarked.
"What is this... a tailed beast?"
Zuo Yue stared at the colossal beast that blotted out the sky, her brows furrowed. She had initially thought it was just some kind of enlarged chakra monster, but then she saw something exactly like herself in the beast's eye sockets.
"...Hmph." Kurama's voice came from inside Naruto. "If it were me twenty years ago, I would probably find this brat quite to my liking."
At that time, Kurama's heart was filled with hatred for humans. If someone had told him then that a human girl would gather the power of all the tailed beasts, summon the Ten-Tails, and then use that power to fight against the entire ninja world, he would probably have thought, "That kid did a pretty good job."
The Ten-Tails didn't give them any more time to reflect. It opened its mouth, and a ball of dark red chakra deep inside its mouth began to condense and expand at an extremely terrifying speed, growing to the size of a small mountain in the blink of an eye.
Ten-Tailed Beast Ball.
The Tailed Beast Ball was launched. The air along its trajectory was ionized into a continuously burning plasma tunnel, and the space itself trembled violently wherever the Tailed Beast Ball passed.
"Satsuki, help me control Kurama's chakra!"
Naruto spoke very quickly, and at the same time reached into his ninja tool pouch, pulled out a Flying Thunder God kunai, and stood it steadily in front of him.
"clear!"
Satsuki understood Naruto's intention in an instant.
When the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball flew to within a dozen meters of Susanoo and Kurama, it suddenly stopped. The reason was that the space in front of it had changed.
The Ten-Tailed Beast Ball was completely trapped in that spatial rift, without leaking out even a trace of energy.
"Flying Thunder God Guides Thunder".
"boom--!!!"
A massive explosion came from the far horizon. The shockwave took so long to reach the battlefield that its intensity had been weakened by the distance to the point of being just a gentle breeze, barely brushing against Naruto's golden chakra cloak.
"He actually transferred the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball in an instant? Even without those eyes, Naruto is getting more and more monstrous." Kurama couldn't help but add a comment inside Naruto's body.
Minato Namikaze used this technique before to transfer his Tailed Beast Ball, and it took him a lot of energy to use it. Naruto, on the other hand, didn't even break a sweat after transferring it.
However, Mai did not intend to continue allowing the Ten-Tails to attack in its tailed beast form.
The Ten-Tails is enormous and has terrifying attack power, but it also means it is too big a target. Against Naruto who has the Flying Thunder God Technique and Sasuke who has the Nine-Tomoe Susanoo, this big guy is actually easy to restrain.
"Whoosh—!"
The Ten-Tails' massive, sky-covering body began to collapse inward at a visible speed. Its enormous size, thousands of meters long, was compressed, compressed again, and compressed still. All its mass, all its chakra, and all the original power belonging to the progenitor of chakra converged towards a point about the height of a person.
"This guy actually started absorbing the Ten-Tails in an instant?! How could he possibly absorb such a massive amount of energy so quickly?"
Finally, the colossal beast, towering a thousand meters tall, vanished completely. Only a small white sphere, roughly the size of a person, remained on the battlefield, hovering in front of where Mai had stood.
"Click."
The ball shattered. Cracks spread downwards from the top, and fragments peeled off piece by piece. With each fragment, a blinding white light shot out from the crack, illuminating the entire battlefield as if it were daytime.
After all the fragments were removed, Mai Uzumaki reappeared before everyone.
Her hair had changed. Her once golden twin ponytails had turned pure white from root to tip, as clean and pure as freshly fallen snow.
Her skin was whiter than before, almost transparent. Her original clothes were replaced by a pure white robe. The robe was simple and solemn in style, without any superfluous decorations, except for faint black magatama patterns on the collar and cuffs.
Behind her, a black tin staff slowly emerged, along with several Truth-Seeking Balls, which arranged themselves in a circle and slowly rotated behind her.
"Since the Rinnegan and Tenseigan are used as a medium in the hand, the eye in the socket didn't turn into the Rinnegan?"
Naruto noticed this detail. Mai's eyes were still those blue pupils, exactly the same blue as his.
Mai raised her hand and grasped the black tin staff behind her.
"The Six Realms are a thing of the past. The title of the pinnacle of the old era has long been trampled under my feet. Now, I am the only pinnacle in this world."
"...Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Sage Mode from the three great holy lands, and the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki." Naruto counted the accumulated power on her body one by one, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "No wonder you think you are the strongest."
His other self was even more capable than he had imagined. The distance she had traveled on this path was indeed so far that it was impossible not to take it seriously.
Naruto deactivated his complete tailed beast form. Against the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the sheer size of the complete tailed beast form would actually make him a target, just like how he easily transferred the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball with his Flying Thunder God Technique. The larger the size, the easier it is to find an opening.
The golden chakra faded from his body, replaced by a more refined and composed golden chakra cloak draped over his back. Black Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him, and he reached out his hand, which Satsuki grasped in perfect unison.
The purple eye power of the Nine-Tomoe Susanoo surged from Sasuke's body, merging with Naruto's Six Paths Chakra to form a gentle yet profound golden-purple aura around the two of them.
"Enjoy this moment, Satsuki." Naruto turned his head, a smile she knew all too well playing on his lips. "Such a strong opponent is hard to find. After this is over, I will repair everything in this world."
"Okay, let's go together." Satsuki gripped his hand tightly, a smile playing on her lips. "Even though Naruto's growth path in this world is completely off, it's okay, I'll try my best to straighten her out."
Naruto chuckled to himself. He truly hadn't expected to witness such a scene in his lifetime. He, in Six Paths Sage Mode, was fighting alongside the Uchiha clan, who possessed the strongest eye technique, against the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
It's almost exactly like the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original work, except that instead of Madara Uchiha standing opposite, it's another version of myself.
