"Crack—"
The terrifying energy of the divine technique erupted wildly, causing the ground to tremble. The trees, rapidly spreading and twisting, entered the eyes of the ninja alliance.
Tobirama Senju, leading the charge, sensed the familiar ninjutsu, stopped in his tracks, and looked serious.
"What is that?"
"No way?"
"Is that… Mokuton, the Wood Release that only the God of Shinobi can use…"
An unbelievable sound echoed among the ninja alliance. They looked at the giant wooden Buddha, whose size surpassed that of the Nine-Tails, even comparable to the size of the Ten-Tails when it was lying on the ground.
"Get out of the way!!"
Shouting from atop the true art of the Thousand Hands, Yakusuki, "Summon the Buddha of the Sky!!"
"Crack—"
The sound of wood moving echoed loudly on the suddenly silent battlefield. Over a thousand hands extended rapidly, launching a fierce assault on the densely packed ninja army like an army of ants!!!
"Tail Beast Ball!!"
Minato Namikaze, now in tailed beast mode, controlled Kurama to attack.
"Fire Style: Susanoo: Kaguya's Body!!"
Sasuke Uchiha immediately unleashed Susanoo. His half-length Susanoo, towering dozens of meters high, raised a short bow in his left hand, and an arrow formed from black flames was vividly real.
"Wood Release: Forest of the Divine!!"
Twelve hands of Tobirama Senju, distributed in four directions, jointly deployed[Forest of the Divine] to block this attack.
"Crack—"
The ground crack apart, and thick trees rapidly extended, wrapping the entire ninja army tightly. The black flames shot out from the trees instantly ignited the incoming fists, and the explosion sound of the tail beast orb followed.
"Don't block! Launch your strongest attacks together! The Hokage of the past didn't retreat—don't let the Hokage look down on us!!"
Seeing the First Hokage stepping forward, the ninja from Konoha jumped onto the trees, drawing their strongest ninjutsu to destroy those arms!!
"Wind Release:…"
"Fire Release:…"
"Lightning Release:…"
"Don't let Konoha laugh at us! Charge!!"
Ninjas from all villages responded quickly, unleashing their strongest jutsu against the overwhelming fists!!
Although they were weak, they would never fall behind. At this moment, they represented not only the future of the ninja world but also the glory of their respective villages!!
Over ten thousand ninjas combined their techniques to resist this catastrophic disaster. This made Yakusuki, standing atop the giant Buddha, feel somewhat troubled. If these guys were scared and their morale collapsed, it would be a complete mess. But now… they were as solid as a wall.
The spectacle of thousands of ninjutsu being unleashed was no less grand than Yakusuki's current true art of the Thousand Hands.
In the next instant, a dazzling white light erupted, and a thunderous roar resounded through heaven and earth.
"Boom!!"
Everything disappeared from sight. Blinding white light and thick smoke filled the entire battlefield. The chakra aura was pervasive, and Yakusuki's perception was blocked like a wall.
"This is really stubborn, ninja alliance…"
At this moment, the Ten-Tails had not yet transformed into the divine tree, and sealing the Ten-Tails inside his body also required some techniques, making it quite difficult.
Forced absorption?
Seeing the system pop up a series of mission prompts:
[Mission: Defeat Tobirama Senju. Reward: 1300 points, permanently increase 1000 curse energy.]
[Mission: Kill Tobirama Senju. Reward: 2600 points, permanently increase 2000 curse energy.]
[Mission: Defeat Minato Namikaze. Reward: 1100 points, permanently increase 1000 curse energy.]
[Mission: Kill Minato Namikaze. Reward: 2200 points, permanently increase 2000 curse energy.]
[Mission: Defeat Sasuke Uchiha. Reward: 1200 points, permanently increase 1000 curse energy.]
[Mission: Kill Sasuke Uchiha. Reward: 2400 points, permanently increase 2000 curse energy.]
A series of missions, all triggered by the recent use of Mokuton. The enemies were so numerous that even Yakusuki felt headache. These guys weren't easy to deal with. It seemed he couldn't absorb the huge body of the Ten-Tails unless he handled them, because the Ten-Tails would resist.
The smoke and dust filled the air. Yakusuki opened the system panel to check other ninjutsu. At this moment, no one could see anyone; any attack would only reveal weaknesses.
His current points: 4438, enough to be considered abundant. The most destructive ninjutsu now was the Eight Gates: The Formation of the Eight Gates, but it came at the cost of life and blood energy—opening the gates meant entering a countdown to death.
The way to mitigate the damage was to open the gates sequentially, each with its own effects.
He clicked on the system panel to purchase the Eight Gates: The Formation of the Eight Gates. The points decreased by 250, and the plan for opening the gates appeared in his mind.
Although recklessly opening the gates might damage his meridians, for Yakusuki, it was nothing. The technique to break through bodily limits, to squeeze out his potential, came with the price of bodily injury.
It was like someone untrained running ten kilometers to the point of muscle dissolution, broken meridians, and fractured bones.
"Open the gates… open!!"
He lifted the restrictions on his brain to fully unleash 100% of his physical ability.
"Open the Gate of Life!!"
Unblocking his stamina fatigue, he overexerted his body to recover energy, offsetting the fatigue caused by opening the gates.
"Open the Gate of Death!!"
Further increasing attack power and speed, his body turned red with blood energy, and the last safe zone of the Eight Gates, emitting green energy.
"Open the Gate of Injury!!"
Further boosting attack and speed, his body began to show signs of damage, entering the dangerous zone of the[Eight Gates], truly entering the state of[Eight Gates].
"Open the Gate of Dying!!"
His speed could now move the ground as he moved, stirring the air.
"Open the Gate of Shock!!"
The last door of the Dead Gate. His body began to emit blue vapor from sweat evaporating. Once lifted, even a light touch would cause severe pain. A single punch could heavily injure the enemy. But after releasing and reopening, the pain would temporarily disappear, not affecting battle.
He opened seven gates directly. His forehead veins bulged, and his body trembled involuntarily. Internally, his meridians were in a constant state of damage and repair.
But… for Yakusuki, who was already numb to pain, this pain was just slightly higher than the feeling of a hand stroking his heart. Even the deadly pain of nerve stimulation, like shattering pain, was just viewed as pain by him.
Because he had never experienced it, and he didn't want to suffer this kind of deadly torture.
"Phew…"
He exhaled roughly, sweat evaporating into blue gas. Although opening the gates was initially painful, at this moment, he felt both familiar and strangely joyful—his body… had unlimited strength.
However… having never fought such high-intensity physical battles, his body might suffer severe injuries or even heart failure when he releases the eighth gate.
The smoke and dust dispersed. The ninja alliance, fighting desperately, was unharmed. The wooden hands behind the giant Buddha were all broken.
"Survive… survive! We've succeeded in surviving through our own strength!!"
The ninja alliance, still alive, cheered. Looking at the giant Buddha with all its limbs broken, they launched their final assault, following the footsteps of the previous Hokage!!
"Wood Release: Wood Clone."
Seeing the incoming ninja army, Yakusuki created ten wood clones, but his gaze remained fixed on Tobirama Senju leading the charge.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!!"
Tobirama Senju clapped his hands, causing a wooden dragon to emerge from the ground, and launched a fierce attack on Yakusuki atop the giant Buddha. Looking at the same Sage of Six Paths' seal on his face, a mixture of confusion and anger appeared, and he shouted: "Surrender! Yakusuki! My bloodline!!"
Tobirama mistook Yakusuki as a clone of his own clan's cells—otherwise, the Rinnegan and the Wood Release technique wouldn't make sense. Since it was his bloodline causing this, he believed only he could resolve it!!
"I am your father! Tobirama!!"
Yakusuki, who had just met him, roared. He clasped his hands in a seal, and the wooden Buddha slowly stood up. The real battle… was just beginning!!
"Get out of the way!!"
Yakusuki shouted from atop the wooden Buddha. His created wood clones instantly disappeared, heading to deal with the ninja army.
The massive wooden Buddha grasped a wooden dragon, crushing it instantly, then clenched a fist and aimed at Minato Namikaze, now in tailed beast mode, with a air wave explosion.
"Useless!!"
Looking at the giant Buddha, which towered over 800 meters, Sasuke Uchiha immediately unleashed his Susanoo. His half-length Susanoo, towering dozens of meters, raised a black flame bow, and an arrow made of black flames took shape vividly.
"Get lost!!"
The Buddha threw a punch, knocking Susanoo away. To the extent of Susanoo's current size—about 100 meters—Yakusuki didn't care at all, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"Bang!!"
A heavy fist came rushing, but Susanoo, as large as his fist, was instantly swept away, with obvious cracks appearing on its body.
"Wood Release: Wooden Man Technique!!"
Tobirama clapped his hands, causing a giant wooden man to appear, then tightly grabbed the Buddha's arm.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!!"
Using this brief restraint, a 200-meter-long wood dragon rapidly emerged from the forest, climbing up along the Buddha's arm.
"Thud!!"
The tail beast orb hit the Buddha directly. Everyone was working together like a boss fight.
"Divine Technique: Dust Release—Outer Realm Dissection!!"
Yakusuki's wood clone arrived on the battlefield. A white光 (light) flickered, instantly locking onto those preparing to approach the Ten-Tails.
"Approachers, die!!"
Ten people shouted in unison. The dust release in their hands shot out toward the crowded crowd. Even if some reacted quickly to use Earth Release to block, they were powerless to stop it.
