On the screen—
Kū shouted:
"Bankai — Nine Heavens Responding Thunder!"
The once-clear sky darkened in an instant. Storm clouds gathered, thunder roared, and lightning flashed wildly.
Suddenly—
A bolt of heavenly lightning crashed down, striking Kū directly and exploding into blinding radiance.
When the light faded, Kū stood revealed.
His hair stood upright, his eyes glowing blue. His skin shimmered faintly with lightning chakra. His clothing had transformed into a deep-blue yukata, arcs of electricity crackling intermittently around him.
Even his katana had changed—now a pale blue blade humming with thunderous power.
Beside him, Mai called out:
"Bankai — Kūya-hime of Falling Cherry Blossoms!"
Countless cherry blossoms erupted around him. A whirlwind formed at his feet, intertwining with the petals to create a spiraling Kūra tempest.
The cherry blossom vortex engulfed him completely—
Then dispersed.
Mai emerged transformed.
His hair had become long and Kūra-pink. His attire shifted into a light pink yukata, elegant and flowing.
Kū — Bankai.
Mai — Bankai.
Their aura surged.
In an instant, their presence stood equal to Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's.
Hashirama's eyes lit up.
"Whoa! They transformed! That's awesome!"
Tobirama frowned.
"Brother, this isn't the time for that. Their chakra presence… has reached Six Paths–level."
Hagoromo nodded solemnly.
"Judging by their aura alone, those two have indeed reached my level."
Madara 's expression darkened.
"Impossible…!"
He had painstakingly orchestrated everything to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki in order to ascend to Six Paths–level power.
Yet these two children achieved it through transformation alone?
Jiraiya stroked his chin.
"So that's Bankai… It certainly looks formidable."
Kūshina grinned.
"Forget formidable—they look even cooler now!"
Mikoto nodded.
"They're even more handsome."
Naruto's eyes sparkled.
"I'm learning that move! I don't care what it takes—that's way too cool!"
Kiba barked in agreement.
"Yeah! That's awesome!"
Nagi watched thoughtfully.
This technique… very likely something he would develop in the future—perhaps inspired by concepts beyond this world.
The clash of their auras created overwhelming chakra pressure.
Not only did Jiraiya, Naruto, and Nagi feel it—
Even Tsunade, sitting in the Hokage Tower, sensed the oppressive force.
Shinobi throughout Konohaga Kūre instinctively turned toward the rear mountain training grounds.
Urashiki's expression turned grave.
He attacked first.
"Takami Musubinokami: Mitama!"
This time, the violet projectiles were far more numerous—and far more powerful.
"Thunderclap Flash!"
Kū drew and swung his blade, releasing a massive arc of lightning.
The lightning slash obliterated every violet projectile instantly.
"Nadeshiko Style: Kūra Heaven!"
Mai extended his palm toward Urashiki.
Cherry blossoms exploded into existence around him.
"Scene of Crimson Blossoms — Kūra Blizzard!"
The petals condensed rapidly into a spherical storm, encasing Urashiki.
He watched as the blossoms crystallized.
Immediately, he coated his body in chakra for defense.
The swirling petals froze into a pink crystalline sphere—
Then shattered violently.
Urashiki burst free—
But his body was now covered in numerous wounds.
"You two… I won't forgive this!"
"Takami Musubinokami: Star Blade!"
He raised his wings, coating them in violet energy.
Then he dove from the sky, wings transformed into razor-sharp blades aimed at the siblings.
Kū stepped forward—
Blade drawn to intercept.
