Seeing everyone completely suppress the enemy, Natsuki finally relaxed.
Kara's mbers were all fairly capable, but the only truly terrifying one was Isshiki. As long as Isshiki was held in check, the rest weren't difficult to deal with.
After all, the alliance had brought the top elites from every village. Their strength was on another level.
If they couldn't even handle Kara, the shinobi world would've been destroyed a long ti ago.
Natsuki withdrew his gaze and focused again on Isshiki's battle.
Isshiki's face looked ugly now. Clearly, his opponents' power exceeded his expectations.
He'd been hiding in the shinobi world and plotting for ages, but he was also arrogant about his own strength. Even knowing these so-called Six Paths fighters had sealed Kaguya, he hadn't believed they could be that strong.
Now it seed he'd truly underestimated them.
"You will be obstacles to planting the Divine Tree. Since you've all co here, I'll erase you. If Kāma Stage One can't deal with you, then Kāma Stage Two!"
As Isshiki spoke, a horn suddenly grew from his head.
It erged from his left temple, curled around the back of his skull, then jutted out near his right temple. Black markings ran along it. It looked a little ridiculous, but it also made Isshiki feel far more dangerous. The oppressive pressure rolling off him grew even heavier, like a giant looming overhead.
Sasuke didn't dare take chances. He imdiately activated his Perfect Susanoo.
Naruto did the sa, transforming into his golden Nine-Tails mode. The two of them, like twin towering war machines, closed in to surround Isshiki.
Neji didn't have a "ch," but he raised a hand and condensed all his Truth-Seeking Orbs into a massive greatsword. It was the technique Toneri had used before: Kinrin Tenseigan Baku (Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion).
That move hit hard. Borrowing it for a mont was no big deal.
Isshiki didn't hesitate either. He lunged straight toward Susanoo.
The Susanoo giant swung its great blade in a sweeping arc that looked like it could tear space apart, but Isshiki dodged easily.
He flashed onto the flat of Susanoo's blade, then exploded with power from his legs and leapt. In the blink of an eye, he was at Susanoo's chest. One kick actually broke through Susanoo's defenses, and in the next instant that massive foot was right in front of Sasuke.
Luckily, Sasuke crossed his arms in ti to block, but he was still sent flying. Susanoo shattered at once.
"Sasuke!!"
Naruto panicked. The golden Nine-Tails charged.
Its claws thrashed in a frenzy, like it wanted to crush Isshiki into paste.
Isshiki kept slipping away, even more effortlessly than before. "You got bigger, so you look stronger. But you're too slow. Slower than before by a lot. This is ridiculously easy to deal with."
He even dodged the energy cannon fired by the golden Nine-Tails without trouble.
Then he suddenly sprang upward and punched, blowing the golden Nine-Tails' head apart. The transformation exploded, and Naruto dropped out of it, vomiting blood as he fell.
Isshiki was ruthless and efficient. He raised a hand, about to spear Naruto with another black rod.
But then his brow twitched. His body vanished.
Neji's greatsword slamd down, and the sheer force split the ground of the alternate dinsion, shaking everything violently.
But just as Isshiki had said, being huge made you powerful, not fast.
The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion's destructive force was absurd. It could split the moon in half with one strike. But if it couldn't hit the target, it ant nothing, and it burned a huge amount of power.
Isshiki simply used Sukunahikona (Shrinking) to make himself smaller, smaller, smaller, absurdly small.
At that point, Neji's sword swing was like a human trying to kill a mosquito with a blade. You basically couldn't hit, much less kill. And Isshiki was already fast even at normal size, so he dodged with ease.
When he reappeared, he was right in front of Neji.
He raised his hand and unleashed a cluster of black rods, but in the next instant they were all knocked away.
"Under my eyes, you shrinking is aningless."
Neji's voice was cold. Repulsive force erupted from him, and that was what blasted the rods aside. He accelerated, closed the distance in a few steps, and once again took his Gentle Fist stance.
Isshiki only smiled with contempt. He was extrely confident in taijutsu.
But Neji's body began to spin. In a flash he unleashed Senpō Gentle Fist: Six Paths Rotation. A massive spherical barrier ford around him, layered with senjutsu, repulsive force, and even Truth-Seeking Orbs. It slamd into Isshiki like an unstoppable battering ram.
Isshiki was blasted away hard enough to spit blood.
Clearly, Neji's technique wasn't a light hit. It hurt.
In the next mont, golden Naruto charged in again, holding an Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan, smashing it straight toward Isshiki's head.
Isshiki felt utterly fed up. He raised a hand and absorbed the Rasengan with the Kāma mark.
But then his forehead jolted. He imdiately tried to use a space-ti portal to evade.
Too late.
A pitch-black long blade swept in, warping space itself. The space-ti portal was disrupted, and with a bang it shattered apart.
That sudden turn made Isshiki panic.
Then he saw Sasuke, holding that black blade, continuing to cut. Wherever the blade passed, space twisted and buckled. Just looking at it was terrifying.
Isshiki didn't dare be careless. He conjured a black rod and tried to block.
The rod t the black blade.
Space distorted violently around the blade, and the black rod was crushed into fragnts in an instant. Along with it, several of Isshiki's fingers were shredded as well.
He didn't even have ti to be shocked.
Naruto's fist smashed into his face, sending him flying.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji didn't waste words. They flashed after him and boxed him in again.
But Neji and Naruto both stared at Sasuke, or rather at the pitch-black long blade in Sasuke's hand, curiosity obvious.
Neji also looked at Sasuke's eyes and imdiately understood. "Sasuke… after your eyes evolved again, you gained a new ability."
Sasuke didn't hide it. "I absorbed Madara's Rinne Sharingan. Now both my eyes have evolved into Rinne Sharingan. My abilities improved across the board. And like you two, I can form Truth-Seeking Orbs now. This blade is made by transforming a Truth-Seeking Orb. It can warp space, similar to Kakashi's Kamui shuriken."
"So that's how it is. That's incredible!" Naruto couldn't help sounding a little jealous.
He hadn't expected Sasuke to grow this much just by absorbing the power of one of Madara's eyes. It was honestly outrageous.
Natsuki, Orochimaru, and Hashirama were watching from the sidelines, and they'd heard it too. All three were surprised. Sasuke's progress was no joke. At this rate, Isshiki was about to get pressed hard.
Still…
The three of them were standing there chatting loudly while surrounding Isshiki.
Were they seriously not even treating the Ōtsutsuki as a threat anymore?
