Chapter 405 - Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [405]
Lightning Style: Kirin!
Under the immense celestial phenomenon, terrifying lightning transformed into a giant Kirin beast, directly tearing apart the massive golden Nine-Tails mode of the Seventh Hokage.
"Damn it! He has the same ninjutsu as Sasuke!"
The Seventh Hokage, Naruto, shouted angrily and rushed forward again with a roar.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Kaguya was battling the Sage of Six Paths. Although the commotion wasn't as big as here, the power was just as intense.
Down below, amid chaos, this world's Uzumaki Naruto was filled with pain, his eyes twisted, drooling, and constantly screaming in agony.
"Haha, Hagoromo, you beast! Now that you've lost your physical body, do you still think you can easily suppress me?"
Black Zetsu shouted excitedly. Inside his body, the Sage of Six Paths frowned, his face grim as he repeatedly fought Black Zetsu for control of Naruto's body.
"Naruto, hang in there! If we rely on our will, we can expel Black Zetsu."
But under Naruto's painful screams, half his body was corroded by Black Zetsu, and a Mangekyo pattern slowly appeared in his eyes.
"Hahaha, this is a trick my father specially left for me. I didn't expect it to work."
"Hagoromo, stop wasting your effort. This brat is now trapped in Izanami. Until he breaks free, it's a battle between you and me."
Within Naruto's sealed space, Black Zetsu's figure gradually appeared, his eyes shining with Mangekyo as he lunged at the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of Six Paths, feeling stifled, fought back. This battle within the mindscape left him completely at a disadvantage.
"Naruto! Wake up!"
Inside, the Sage of Six Paths screamed miserably as Black Zetsu straddled him, pummeling him relentlessly. He could only defend himself in frustration while shouting to remind Naruto.
As the embodiment of the God Tree's energy, Black Zetsu, before this battle, had received power from both Uchiha Shirou and Otsutsuki Kaguya.
The Sage of Six Paths, having already lost his body and left with only pure soul and willpower, had also spent a lot of energy in previous battles.
"Naruto!"
At his shout, Naruto's soul trembled in the sea of consciousness. Immersed in the Izanami illusion, Naruto seemed to hear the voice calling from his soul.
...The World of Izanami...
"Naruto, you little brat, I should never have let you live."
"Naruto, I'd rather be under Lord Shirou... than be your comrade..."
Tears streamed down Naruto's face. Before him, scenes flashed by: the pain of the Nine-Tails night in Konoha, countless comrades glaring at him angrily.
Iruka-sensei stared at him with hatred: "Naruto, you beast! You forgave Obito and even became his comrade! I should've strangled you back then!"
Sakura's face was full of hatred as she shouted with a kunai: "Naruto, you useless trash! You colluded with Obito. You're a traitor to Konoha."
"Naruto!" Hyuga Hinata, Nara Shikamaru, Neji, Choji, Tenten, Rock Lee, and others appeared one by one.
But all of them looked at him with resentment and hatred, roaring: "You monster! Nine-Tails! Get lost! We're going to kill you!"
"We treated you as a comrade, but you treated our enemy Obito as a comrade. You beast..."
In this endless illusory world, the constant torment nearly drove Naruto insane; he howled in anger.
"No! No! That's not how everyone is! As long as we trust each other, we're all comrades. Obito was tricked too..."
But as Naruto shouted frantically, the scene shifted to Konoha, only this time, Uchiha Obito appeared.
Flames engulfed the village. Obito slowly removed his mask, revealing a cruel smile.
"Naruto, we're comrades, aren't we? No matter how many I kill, you have to forgive me. Trust me."
The next moment, Obito began slaughtering villagers and comrades one after another.
On one side, comrades glared at Naruto in hatred for befriending Obito.
On the other, Obito was massacring everyone, yet smiled wickedly at Naruto, saying "We're comrades, you have to forgive me."
Naruto's spiritual world was being battered repeatedly, nearly reaching its breaking point.
Outside, Naruto howled in despair.
"No, no! Please believe me, I'm not a beast!"
"Obito, I beg you, stop hurting everyone. We're comrades..."
After being severely injured and subjected to this mental attack, a Tsukuyomi mark slowly appeared on Naruto's arm.
At this moment, inside the consciousness space, Kurama (Nine-Tails) roared in fear: "Sage! Naruto's chakra is being drained, help—"
"Too late!"
Black Zetsu shouted excitedly and vanished from the mental world.
Outside, as Naruto screamed in agony, the half-corroded Black Zetsu body suddenly thrust out a black hand and pressed it directly onto Naruto's abdomen.
Sealing: Release!
As Black Zetsu released the seal on Naruto, he shouted with excitement:
"Mother! Quickly retrieve the Nine-Tails!"!
A black spatial passage opened, revealing Kaguya's hand, which grabbed the Nine-Tails' power from Naruto's abdomen.
Far away, the Sage of Six Paths, who was fighting, exclaimed: "No! Their target is the Nine-Tails in Naruto!"
But for Kaguya, dealing with half the Nine-Tails was too easy.
With one grab, she effortlessly extracted the Nine-Tails, giving Naruto no time to react.
After all this, Black Zetsu laughed excitedly and left Naruto's body.
"Hagoromo! From now on, you're the Tailed Beast inside this brat. Now you can taste what it's like to be sealed."
"Hagoromo, this is your thousand-year debt to repay!"
Black Zetsu formed hand seals and shouted excitedly: "Sealing Jutsu!"
Five black fingers stabbed into Naruto's body. At the same time, in Naruto's consciousness, a black cage appeared.
Under the Sage of Six Paths' despairing gaze, the cage clamped down layer by layer, locking him inside the cage that once imprisoned the Nine-Tails.
"Naruto! Wake up!"
On the battlefield, seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths shouted urgently:
"Naruto, help me hold off Kaguya and Uchiha Shirou, we can't lose another fighter!"
"Sage Grandpa, leave this to me!"
The Seventh Hokage Naruto shouted determinedly and, with no choice, revealed his hidden trump card.
Sure enough, Shirou's pupils shrank as four terrifying Tailed Beast Bombs appeared in all directions.
"What's this!?"
Shirou's pupils shrank as he saw that, at some point, Naruto had created shadow clones.
Using his golden Nine-Tails mode, the clones had hidden in the mountains, gathering natural energy.
But this time, it was fully exposed.
"Now, let me hold you both off!"
The Seventh Hokage Naruto shouted resolutely, his short hair making him look more mature and steady. Across from him, after a brief surprise, Shirou's lips curled into a smile.
"Using the same old tactics again. You only know this much about me, but I know everything about you."
Shirou was keenly aware of Naruto's tendency to use the same techniques, like shadow clones, to defeat opponents.
He hadn't spotted the clone, but he'd analyzed Naruto's fighting style.
This was a gap in intelligence. The Seventh Hokage knew little about him, while he knew everything about Naruto.
Naruto had used shadow clones to gather senjutsu chakra before, like against Pain, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, and even in the final battle against Sasuke.
How could Shirou not prepare for this?
"What!?"
The Seventh Hokage Naruto stared in shock, realizing his opponent was already prepared.
The next moment, with Shirou's mocking smile, their positions swapped instantly.
"That's Flying Thunder God Jutsu!"
Naruto couldn't believe it. At some point, Shirou had left a Flying Thunder God mark on Naruto.
Just like that, their positions switched.
Naruto was now facing four terrifying Tailed Beast Bombs, while Shirou, with Kaguya, appeared before Black Zetsu.
"Father! Mother!"
Black Zetsu exclaimed excitedly. At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths was rushing over, but upon seeing this, his pupils shrank.
"No! It's a trap!"
Chibaku Tensei
At that moment, Shirou and Kaguya both shouted, unleashing the strongest sealing technique.
At such close range, the Sage of Six Paths had no chance to dodge, not even enough time to use space-time ninjutsu to escape.
But the space around them twisted; Shirou had used Kamui to distort space, preventing the Sage from using his space jutsu.
"No! You can't do this! If you seal me, another timeline will fall into chaos!"
Shirou and Kaguya appeared at his sides, each using Yin-Yang Release, slapping their hands onto his shoulders.
The Sage could only scream in anger.
"Hagoromo! Even if you're from another world, you're still a beast!"
Above the Sage's head came Black Zetsu's vengeful shout, followed by a fierce punch.
Instantly, Black Zetsu, Shirou, and Kaguya formed a triangle.
Shirou and Kaguya pressed their hands onto the Sage's shoulders, and the black sphere of Chibaku Tensei formed inside his body.
This was the sealing jutsu used on Kaguya—but now, it was used on the Sage himself. Black Zetsu seized the chance and punched the Sage's forehead.
With the sealing jutsu successful, a tremendous roar echoed through the world. A terrifying gravity force emanated from the Sage, drawing everything toward him.
"No! Stop!"
The Sage screamed in terror, but Shirou, Kaguya, and Black Zetsu escaped using space-time ninjutsu.
"Sage Grandpa!"
From afar, the Seventh Hokage Naruto saw the familiar scene and hurriedly shouted.
Wasn't this the same sealing tactic he used to seal Kaguya in his world? He couldn't believe Shirou used it against the Sage.
"Naruto!"
Amidst the tragic shouts, the earth began to crack, countless boulders and earth rumbled, drawn into the sky before crashing down on the Sage.
Under this absolute gravity, a sphere formed.
"Naruto, go back to our world! Don't come to this one, don't come..."
Sealed by the jutsu, the Sage was filled with endless regret, but he worried about the safety of his world.
If he had known, he wouldn't have meddled in another world. He thought one more enemy wouldn't matter with so many allies, especially, Naruto, who had sealed Kaguya before.
But he was wrong, and now he too was being sealed in this world.
No—this wasn't just a simple seal. The enemy aimed to devour his power. This was the fear of death.
"Sage Grandpa..."
With a huge boom, Naruto faced the four Tailed Beast Bombs; in a flash, the world turned to daylight.
A massive sphere appeared in the sky, still absorbing earth to solidify itself.
"Naruto, run!"
In the desperate moment before being sealed, the Sage split off a piece of his spiritual energy, which, carrying a space-time tool, rushed toward the Seventh Hokage Naruto. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
"Trying to escape now? Too late!"
Shirou's cold voice echoed, as Kaguya's pupils narrowed. In an instant, she activated her eye technique, and the space around them shifted.
Amenominaka!
Suddenly, they were in the gravity space.
The massive stone sphere sealing the Sage crashed to the ground with a quake.
"Sage Grandpa!"
With a splurt, the Seventh Hokage Naruto looked on in disbelief as Shirou transformed into lightning, and stabbed forward with the Kusanagi sword.
In terror, Naruto dodged, but his side was still pierced.
"I told you, you'd regret meddling in another world!"
Shirou said coldly, tilting his head as Kaguya's All-Killing Ash Bone shot a spike at him.
The next moment, Naruto screamed in agony.
To dodge the deadly bone, Naruto's lower body was struck. To avoid being petrified, he instinctively slashed off the affected flesh with a kunai.
This was a Six Paths level injury—Naruto was unable to regenerate.
"No!"
With a look of horror, the Seventh Hokage Naruto, driven by survival instinct, watched as the piece of flesh he cut off turned to stone in the air, then fell to the ground and instantly turned to ash.
No man could endure such a sight. If it was the unmarried Seventh Hokage, maybe, but now, in his world, he still had a family!
