Tayuya's abilities were lacking in all aspects, with obvious shortcomings. She was stunned by Kimimaro's gaze, and when she met a strongman like Temari, a single fan attack would have finished her.
However, her genjutsu truly had its unique qualities.
At this moment, Ino, as if using a hand bell, raised her arm high and gently shook the death god rosary, gathering a large amount of Chakra. She used Tayuya's genjutsu, Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains, and as her rhythm sounded, invisible sound waves rapidly permeated the entire underground cavern.
"Crash."
"Crash."
The sound was not loud, but it struck directly at the heart.
The heat on Sakura and the others quickly receded, and several young girls who were embracing each other blushed, avoiding each other's gazes, and quickly separated, completely unaware of what they had been doing earlier.
After the agitation came silence; everyone entered the genjutsu world.
Their minds felt as if they were falling off a cliff, plummeting from a great height. Several girls cried out in sorrow, and eventually even their voices were swallowed. Their consciousnesses fell into a boundless world, extremely dim, where the only light allowed them to see only grayish-white skeletons all around.
The great ups and downs of life, from sweating profusely to trembling with fear, not daring to sweat; this desolation made the girls heartbroken. 'We are too miserable! Just let us die!'
The barrier could not stop the genjutsu, and the cultists on the other side were also affected.
"Miko! Is that you? Have you come to take me with you?"
"Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things, I'm really sorry!"
"Jiro? You bastard, how dare you show yourself, I'm going to kill you!"
The cult leader reacted quickly, pulling out a Hidan-style scythe. Anyone who experienced hallucinations was rushed by him and struck with the scythe, after which he smeared their heart's blood on the Evil God's giant stone.
Ino's genjutsu was suppressed after only a little over a minute.
The alluring sounds emanating from within the barrier grew more enticing. The giant stone with peculiar triangular lines emitted waves of obscure light, and various complex thoughts influenced her mind. Ino felt that her current posture, with her arm raised, was very foolish, and her wrist was aching, but she was more resolute than her opponent expected, not retreating at all, and continued to shake the rosary.
"Hey! This is too much! Can't you do something cheerful?!" Sakura shouted from afar. Her genjutsu mastery was genuinely not low.
She could remain calm within the Demonic Flute: Phantom Sound Chains. She didn't know how to cooperate with Ino, so she could only take out a scroll, somewhat like Sai's style, and quickly sketched a few strokes on it. The cult leader within the barrier was soon trapped by her genjutsu.
However, Sakura was also affected by Ino's genjutsu, or rather, by the death god rosary. Endless stillness lingered in her heart, and she endured it with great difficulty, so she shouted something without context at this moment.
"Wide Forehead, just bear with it, it'll be over soon!"
Ino's words stimulated the Evil God on the other side. The cultists fell one by one, quickly turning into skeletal corpses as their life essence was absorbed by the Evil God to counter Ino, this 'follower' of the Shinigami.
The life force of over fifty cultists transformed into energy and was injected into the Evil God, who quickly suppressed Ino.
"How dare such a broken stone contend with me? Open!"
Ino had no choice but to activate the Yang Seal!
The curse mark of the Yang Seal spread like a spiderweb from her navel to most of her lower abdomen and heart.
Pure Yin Style Chakra continuously surged out. The Chakra on her body changed from light blue to blue, then to dark blue. Yin Release and Yang Release slowly merged, finally emitting a faint golden light. There was too much Chakra to control, causing her golden hair to stand on end, with only her bangs still hanging down. From a distance, she looked like a Super Saiyan.
Ino stared intently at the bizarre lines on the giant stone. Although she didn't have a Sharingan, her pure Dojutsu Power combined with her sensory abilities already possessed some preliminary observation functions.
Simply relying on genjutsu or sound, she couldn't defeat her opponent.
Now, she could only use the 'brute force' approach.
She created another Shadow Clone, then threw the rosary to the Shadow Clone, instructing it to maintain the genjutsu as much as possible.
Ino formed hand signs again, and the Shadow Clone switched from Wind Release to Earth Release.
"Compound Ninjutsu: Poison Giant Soldier!" Water was the bones, earth was the muscles, covered with poison on the outside, forming a giant arm similar to a Susanoo. However, her arm was dark green.
Ino controlled the Poison Giant Soldier like a Water Dragon Bullet. The giant arm swung twice, and Chakra gathered and rotated in its palm. All the Chakra released by the Yang Seal also merged into it.
This contained three months of her stored Chakra.
At this moment, Ino was like Naruto possessed in a movie.
The Chakra vortex grew larger and larger.
"Super Big Ball Rasengan!"
The Big Ball Rasengan and Super Big Ball Rasengan operated on the same principle; the difference lay in the amount of Chakra. Previously, she couldn't use the Super Big Ball because she lacked enough Chakra, but now, with the help of the Yang Seal, she finally managed to use this technique.
The five-meter-long Poison Giant Soldier's arm swung a Super Big Ball Rasengan with a diameter exceeding ten meters. Accompanied by Ino's roar, the Super Big Ball Rasengan, like a meteor hitting Earth, smashed into the Evil God's barrier.
"Crack, crack, crack—" Accompanied by a series of sharp cracking sounds, a level nine typhoon seemed to sweep through the underground cavern. The Poison Giant Soldier's arm moved seemingly slowly but was actually fast, and the incredibly powerful Super Big Ball Rasengan forcefully pushed into the Evil God's barrier.
The air was compressed, the rocks trembled incessantly, and the sound of the Super Big Ball Rasengan's rotation and cutting echoed in everyone's ears.
The girls screamed in unison, but their voices were inaudible even to themselves.
Sakura stopped her genjutsu, hugging Pakkun and Tonton, continuously muttering phrases like "Ino, that pig" and "this pig-head," standing in the corner, dodging the constantly falling rubble.
The Evil God cultists were all dead. The male leader's face was filled with horror, and before he could say anything, his head suddenly exploded, and all the blood was absorbed by the Evil God's giant stone.
Ino gritted her teeth, slowly urging the Poison Giant Soldier's arm to press down.
The barrier completely deformed, with the distance between them shrinking from five meters, then four meters, three meters, two meters, to one meter!
The surface of the originally translucent barrier began to seep out large amounts of vivid red blood, dazzling and enchanting, as if a hundred, a thousand people were pleading, threatening, and cursing her, their voices chaotic beyond measure, but Ino ignored them all.
First, I'll kill you, and then, we'll talk about what happens next!
"Die!"
"Bang!—" The Super Big Ball Rasengan broke through the barrier, striking directly at the Evil God's giant stone with the bizarre lines.
Ino felt as if her arm had plunged into a bottomless quagmire, surrounded by putrid stench, and chaotic voices directly sounded in her mind. This time, the voices contained countless more elements of madness. She felt incredibly vexed, her heart beating faster and faster. She exerted force with her arm, forcefully smashing the Super Big Ball Rasengan into it!
After one strike, she felt that the 'mud pit' on the other side still hadn't completely dissipated, so she delivered another one!
