Asura narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Yuto, whom he had smashed into a pit on the ground:
"To be able to entangle me to this extent, you should be proud, mere ordinary human."
"This game should end now!"
The heart-stopping power of the Six Paths once again surged from Asura's body.
The giant Buddha statue that had been attacking Yuto suddenly stopped, then lifted one of its arms and fiercely grabbed towards the sky.
The black clouds hovering above the giant Buddha's head were instantly scattered with a single slap by the Buddha's suddenly extended giant palm.
Due to retracting one Buddha hand to deal with the clouds above, Yuto's pressure naturally decreased greatly, giving him a moment to catch his breath.
Asura was naturally aware of this situation, but he didn't care at all, because next Asura would completely annihilate Yuto.
Six Paths Sage Technique—Flame!
Under Asura's control, an intense scorching flame instantly surged on the Buddha's other arm.
As soon as the scorching high temperature appeared, it instantly evaporated all the moisture in the surrounding air.
The three powerful forces of Lightning, Wind, and Fire echoed each other, fiercely bombarding down towards Yuto below.
Yuto's pupils slightly contracted, then he suddenly laughed softly: "Do you really think you have me figured out?"
What was originally meant to be a hidden move, but now it seems it has to be revealed!
The chakra surging within Yuto's body instantly transformed, and a violent chakra suddenly surged from Yuto's body.
Large amounts of white steam erupted from Yuto's body towards the surroundings.
Five-Tailed Gobi's Power—Boil Release·Superhuman Strength!
Yuto's muscles throughout his body instantly began to harden and expand.
The Boil Release of the Five-Tailed Gobi was different from Mei's, which directly affected attacks. This power acted on one's own chakra, a special Boil Release that increased physical strength.
The Five-Tailed Gobi was known as "the strongest impact force among the tailed beasts!"
A large amount of chakra within Yuto's body began to transform into the tailed beast chakra of the Five-Tailed Gobi, accompanied by a faint roar, a phantom similar to the Five-Tailed Gobi appeared on Yuto's arm.
"Now it's my turn!!"
Yuto let out another roar, raising his fist and slamming it towards the giant Buddha hand descending from the sky.
The two arms, one large and one small, ridiculously different in size, collided fiercely in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.
An unexpected scene appeared in Asura's vision—the giant Buddha hand actually stopped in mid-air, unable to continue pressing down.
He blocked it!
Asura's eyes widened in shock, an incredible expression appearing on his face.
This power... it's tailed beast power!
"Insect!"
At this moment, Asura's face showed an angry expression. To repeatedly block his attacks, how could Asura not be angry?
The giant Buddha palm moved again, both hands forming a fist, wanting to grab Yuto tightly in its palm.
At the same time, the power of the three Six Paths Sage Techniques began to merge towards the palm.
Obviously, planning to grab Yuto into the palm to completely destroy him.
And at this moment, the violent tailed beast power within Yuto began to transform once again.
A completely new tailed beast chakra instantly enveloped Yuto's entire body.
Six-Tailed Rakkō's Power—Acid Release·Softened Body!
Under the envelopment of the Six-Tails chakra, Yuto's entire body turned dark purple.
At the same time, Yuto's entire body began to soften, and as it was about to be tightly grasped by the Buddha hand, it quickly squeezed through tiny holes.
Yuto turned into a purple phantom along the Buddha's arm, rushing towards Asura on top of the Buddha's head at extreme speed.
Whoosh!
Huge vines emerged from the Buddha's body, wanting to bind Yuto and hinder his progress.
However, these vines were instantly corroded and destroyed by the acidified chakra on Yuto's the moment they approached him.
Looking up at Asura who was coldly watching him from above the Buddha, Yuto opened his mouth and spat out three words:
"I'll kill you!"
Asura's face instantly turned pale. Although he couldn't hear what Yuto was saying, he could still discern it through his lip movements.
Still too slow!
An idea flashed through Yuto's mind, the chakra within his body transforming again. Red tailed beast chakra began to envelop Yuto's entire body, forming a tailed beast cloak.
Several tails made of simulated chakra emerged slowly from Yuto's back.
With the ability of the Black Emperor to transform, as long as Yuto was willing, he could use tailed beast chakra without limitation, even easily mimic a Tailed Beast Ball with it.
Seven-Tailed Nanabi's Power—Flight·Scale Powder!
The chakra-formed tails on Yuto's back quickly transformed into wing-like shapes, carrying Yuto directly into the air.
Although Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo could also fly, its size was too large and too easily targeted.
Besides...
Glistening scales began to appear on Yuto's body, and in an instant, Yuto's figure had disappeared from Asura's vision.
Invisibility!
To prevent being easily found by Asura, Yuto had specifically mixed senjutsu chakra, which was natural energy, into the scales.
Seeing this, a rare solemn expression appeared on Asura's face as he quickly sensed his surroundings.
Although Yuto had mixed in senjutsu chakra, under Asura's powerful sensing, he could still roughly perceive Yuto's location.
But Yuto's speed was simply too fast, leaving no time to mobilize the Buddha statue for an attack.
Sensing Yuto continuously approaching, Asura's face, though solemn, showed no sign of panic.
This awakening, this unexpected surprise from Yuto before him!
He never thought that in this era, someone would actually know how to utilize tailed beast chakra!
A person like this... must die!
Asura, who had been meditating on top of the Buddha, had already stood up again. The six Truth-Seeking Balls behind Asura began to sway slightly.
Asura naturally knew the attack distance limit of the Truth-Seeking Balls.
So Asura was waiting... waiting for Yuto to approach him!
Here!
When Yuto was not far from Asura, he had already deactivated his invisibility.
When Yuto saw Asura looking in his direction, he knew that so-called invisibility was completely useless.
Yuto still rushed towards Asura at extreme speed, and as he got closer, his expression grew increasingly solemn.
The real danger was about to appear!
The Truth-Seeking Ball was a deep chasm before all ordinary ninja.
Even Uchiha Madara, who possessed the Rinnegan, could only perish if attacked by a Truth-Seeking Ball.
Without mastering the power of the Six Paths, no one could withstand an attack from a Truth-Seeking Ball.
In an instant, the distance between the two was less than a hundred meters.
At this moment, both of them launched their attacks simultaneously!
The tailed beast chakra within Yuto transformed once again.
Nine-Tails' Power—Nine-Tails Chakra Mode!
In that instant, Yuto's entire body was covered in a golden chakra.
Nine chakra claws similar to a fox's sharp claws emerged from Yuto's body, and on each chakra claw appeared a small Tailed Beast Ball mixed with senjutsu energy!
Nine terrifyingly powerful Tailed Beast Balls simultaneously blasted towards Asura's direction!
A sharp glint flashed in Asura's eyes as six Truth-Seeking Balls simultaneously appeared before him, forming six huge black shields!
BOOM!! BOOM!!
Huge explosions continuously echoed in the sky.
Although they were small Tailed Beast Balls, they were still Tailed Beast Balls, and with the added energy of senjutsu chakra, their power was by no means weaker.
Under the simultaneous attack of nine Tailed Beast Balls, the shield formed by the Truth-Seeking Balls was rapidly broken at a visible speed.
Only when the final Truth-Seeking Ball shield was shattered by Yuto did he realize that Asura, who should have been behind it, had long since disappeared.
"It's time to end."
A faint voice sounded from behind Yuto.
Asura raised a black rod, also formed from Truth-Seeking Balls, and without hesitation, stabbed it into Yuto's body.
With a series of blood splatters, the black rod pierced through Yuto's back.
The moment the black rod pierced him, the Nine-Tails chakra on Yuto quickly began to dissipate. At the same time, cracks like those on a porcelain doll rapidly spread across Yuto's entire body, centered on the wound where the rod had entered.
Yuto stiffly turned his body to look at Asura behind him, then suddenly smirked.
With a bang, Yuto's entire body turned into an arm that fell to the ground. Due to being pierced by the black rod, the arm quickly turned into black dust and completely disappeared.
Eight-Tails' Power—Tail Severing Escape!
The ability of tail severing escape was the most special among all tailed beasts, and the Eight-Tails jinchūriki was the only one who wouldn't die even if their tailed beast was extracted.
Yuto had sacrificed an arm to avoid this sure-kill blow.
In fact, this ability was like a chicken rib to Yuto, after all, with his demi-human regeneration ability, Yuto wouldn't care even if he died.
But when facing the Truth-Seeking Balls, this Eight-Tails ability was crucial.
The Truth-Seeking Ball not only completely annihilates the physical body but can also damage the soul!
Although Yuto could physically regenerate, if his soul was damaged, his demi-human regeneration ability might not work.
Seeing the completely annihilated arm, Asura couldn't help but freeze for a moment, but the next moment he reacted and tried to flash away from the spot.
But it was already too late!
"Senju Hashirama, you get out here!!"
Yuto's figure suddenly appeared beside Asura, raising his remaining arm and without hesitation, slammed a fist into Asura's face.
"How dare you!"
Asura only managed to roar in anger before being blasted away by Yuto's punch.
