If Shinji were present, he would not be surprised by this scene.
Everyone feared Toneri Otsutsuki's 'Truth-Seeking Balls' because of their special characteristics. Those without Six Paths power or Senjutsu mastery were not even qualified to touch them.
Among the few people currently on the field, only Neji and Kimimaro in their combined state in the air could barely resist the 'Truth-Seeking Balls'. The rest, whether Karin, Mumei, or Sasuke with his 'Cursed Seal' activated, actually had no assurance of contending with the 'Truth-Seeking Balls'.
But this did not mean the power of the 'Truth-Seeking Balls' surpassed the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion'. quite the opposite, the power of the Tenseigan dojutsu 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' was actually above the 'Truth-Seeking Balls'.
The strength of the 'Truth-Seeking Balls' was mainly reflected in bullying the weak.
If encountering an opponent of the same level, like in the Fourth Great Ninja War, Naruto once kicked away a 'Truth-Seeking Ball' directly. Sasuke, possessing the Yin Power bestowed by the 'Sage of Six Paths', also easily pierced Naruto's 'Truth-Seeking Ball' with a long sword thrown by 'Susanoo'.
'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' was different. Its destructive power was directly related to the user's pupil power, with almost no upper limit. As long as the user was strong enough, even the entire world could be split in half!
The reason Mumei could block Toneri Otsutsuki's strike of 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' was entirely because Karin restrained at least half of Toneri Otsutsuki's power.
Mumei, who blocked the golden sword inside 'Susanoo', didn't hesitate at all. She immediately urged her 'Susanoo' to sidestep, sacrificing half of 'Susanoo's' shoulder to draw out the long blade blocking the golden sword, slashing towards Toneri Otsutsuki in the distance.
Boom!
The red long blade slashed down instantly, smashing fiercely onto Toneri Otsutsuki.
However, unexpectedly to everyone, Toneri Otsutsuki under 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode' only raised his hand and blocked Mumei's slashing long blade!
"!?"
Mumei was slightly stunned, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Crack...
The next moment, a crisp sound echoed on the battlefield.
Toneri Otsutsuki crushed the red long blade of Mumei's 'Susanoo' with one hand, his gaze burning: "Uchiha, this is the gap between us!"
Karin, however, noticed that although Toneri Otsutsuki was still wrapped in Tenseigan chakra, his aura had weakened significantly. Obviously, blocking Mumei's slash wasn't as easy as it looked.
With a thought, Karin shouted loudly: "He can condense at most two 'Truth-Seeking Balls' now!"
Undoubtedly, if Toneri Otsutsuki could still condense a third 'Truth-Seeking Ball', he wouldn't have used his hand to withstand Mumei's slash head-on, consuming so much chakra.
Swish...
The golden sword in the air fell with the momentum, piercing towards Toneri Otsutsuki on the ground.
Neji and Kimimaro, already prepared to strike, acted even more decisively after hearing Karin's reminder.
Toneri Otsutsuki had no time to change moves, having to meet the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' of Neji and Kimimaro's combination with his palm again.
The brilliant golden sword stabbed onto the soft light blue Tenseigan chakra, blooming with incomparably magnificent brilliance, so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes!
At this time, Mumei and Sasuke moved simultaneously.
This incomparably dazzling scene in front of them didn't move them. The unique keenness of the Uchiha clan made them realize the fleeting opportunity for battle.
Thus, one jumped out of 'Susanoo', the other climbed up from the rubble. Separating slightly left and right to open up a little distance, they then attacked Toneri Otsutsuki at the center of the battlefield at full speed!
Peripheral vision allowed Toneri Otsutsuki to notice the figures attacking from both sides. At this moment, panic spread wildly in the bottom of his heart.
From the moment he left the castle, he felt like he had fallen into a huge net.
First losing contact with the Giant Tenseigan, then bound by strange sealing jutsu, unable to break free even with Tenseigan's chakra absorption, followed by one outrageously strong guy after another besieging him.
Currently, he had to resist the restraint of 'Adamantine Sealing Chains' on one hand, while simultaneously doing his utmost to resist the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' stabbing down from above. Just like Neji and Kimimaro knew how strong the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' was before, he also knew the power of the 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion'. A moment of carelessness, even he had the possibility of being defeated!
Therefore, he could no longer spare strength to resist enemies attacking from both sides.
Bang...
Sasuke attacked in front of Toneri Otsutsuki first, throwing a punch fiercely smashing onto Toneri Otsutsuki's cheek, knocking his head to one side!
Toneri Otsutsuki's expression twisted: "You dare..."
Bang...
Before he could finish speaking, Mumei's fist also arrived, hitting his cheek on the other side squarely, blasting his whole person flying out.
Swish!
Karin used Body Flicker Technique, arriving at Toneri Otsutsuki's landing point in advance, successfully stabbing a Black Receiver into Toneri Otsutsuki's scapula, erupting massive Rinnegan pupil power to forcibly interfere with Toneri Otsutsuki's chakra.
In just a few short breaths, the light blue Tenseigan chakra wrapping Toneri Otsutsuki's whole body faded away gradually.
Toneri Otsutsuki, forcibly relieved of 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode', looked dull, seemingly unable to accept his defeat.
Huff huff huff...
At this time, gasping sounds rose all over the battlefield.
Karin squatted halfway on the ground, panting heavily while staring fixedly at Toneri Otsutsuki not far away, daring not relax in the slightest.
Neji and Kimimaro in the air had landed on the ground, exited 'Tenseigan Chakra Mode', and released the combined state.
The moment they stabbed out 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion', both of them were exhausted.
Mumei and Sasuke also collapsed on the ground. The exchange just now was brief but exceptionally thrilling. A moment of carelessness could have led to being taken away by Toneri Otsutsuki in one wave.
Subsequently, several people looked at each other, inexplicable expressions in their eyes.
Initially when assigned by Shinji to ambush Toneri Otsutsuki, they felt their side had numerical superiority. No matter how strong Toneri Otsutsuki was, he wouldn't be their opponent.
But after really fighting, they realized why Shinji arranged for the five of them to act together.
Especially Neji and Kimimaro.
They originally thought since they and Toneri Otsutsuki both had Tenseigan, the fight should be evenly matched. As a result, after engaging, they found themselves suppressed by Toneri Otsutsuki throughout the process, completely not on the same level.
If not for Shinji cutting off the connection between Toneri Otsutsuki and the Giant Tenseigan, and Karin acting in time to restrain Toneri Otsutsuki with 'Adamantine Sealing Chains', they probably would have died under Toneri Otsutsuki's 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' by now.
