"Whoosh!"
A streak of crimson light flashed.
Naruto launched another assault toward Akira.
"BOOM!"
A tidal wave of silver chakra erupted like a broken dam, blocking the space between them.
"BOOM!"
Akira's pupils blazed simultaneously.
Mitsuhano amplified his Susanoo.
The Perfect Susanoo rose skyward.
Naruto's eyes sharpened.
"That move again…"
"You're going to unleash that rain of spears?"
"With that attack's coverage and frequency—plus the explosions—"
"Even this mode might not dodge everything."
"But attacking the caster directly is the right answer."
"BOOM!"
Naruto blinked forward to the forehead of the Perfect Susanoo—
and unleashed a devastating kick.
Akira was blasted straight out of the Susanoo's cockpit.
"Ha…"
Blood spilled from Akira's mouth—
yet a faint smile appeared.
"Doesn't matter."
Twin Flower
"Crackle!"
Beneath the black divine robe—
the body of a blue-haired girl replaced his own.
Akira's injuries healed instantly during the transformation.
This was his most useful Twin Flower body so far.
His younger sister—
Shizuka.
This body could wield the power of Shikigami.
(See Chapter 101 — Shikigami Plan)
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Behind the Perfect Susanoo's armor appeared five enormous orbs:
Cyan
Blue
Gold
Silver
Brown
Twin Flower abilities worked through two channels:
Mental abilities remained linked to Akira's real body, meaning ocular power was unaffected.
Physical abilities depended on the body currently copied.
Thus abilities like Konan's Paper God Technique, or Shizuka's Shikigami power, were normally limited to the original owner's ceiling.
But the Perfect Susanoo, enhanced by Mitsuhano—
could share the body's abilities.
Once shared—
those limits vanished.
In simple terms:
Susanoo = powered by Akira's ocular strength
Skills = provided by the borrowed body
Mechanism = Twin Flower sharing
Because of Perfect Susanoo, Twin Flower became a trump card rivaling Umoda Flow itself.
Naruto noticed the transformation behind him.
"What is that…?"
He dismissed it.
"No need to worry."
"Just target Akira himself."
"BOOM!"
He surged forward again like a crimson hurricane.
"Not getting close again."
— Fūunno
Suddenly—
a blue cyclone erupted in front of Naruto, halting his advance.
"?!"
Shikigami attacks worked similarly to Eida's Omnipotence.
Akira could trigger them with a single thought.
The Five Elemental Shikigami:
Wind — Fūunno
Lightning — Mogabetsurai
Earth — Kaheshine
Water — Agunuma-no-Mikoto
Fire — Hokuseiri
Together they could summon natural elemental disasters anywhere within the user's sensory range.
Water Shikigami — Agunuma-no-Mikoto
"WHOOOSH!"
A massive silver water sphere, like an enormous Water Prison, suddenly formed around Naruto.
That instant ocular teleport technique?
No…
This distance is beyond its range.
It feels like I was already inside the water…
And this silver liquid…
Its density is heavier than mercury!
"BOOM!"
The sphere slammed into the ground.
Earth Shikigami — Kaheshine
The ground collapsed into a brown swamp, swallowing the sphere.
Lightning Shikigami — Mogabetsurai
"BOOOOM!"
Naruto burst out with crimson chakra—
only to be smashed back down by a green lightning pillar larger than Kirin.
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
"BOOM!"
Lightning struck again and again.
Fire Shikigami — Hokuseiri
"WHOOSH!"
Golden flames rose like lotus petals across the land.
They closed together—
forming a massive golden lotus of fire.
"BOOOOOOM!"
The explosion erupted into a pillar rivaling a Tailed Beast Bomb.
Yet this was not the end.
Wind.
Lightning.
Water.
Earth.
Fire.
The five elements intertwined in a continuous barrage.
At the center—
Naruto wrapped himself in crimson fox tails.
Kurama spoke urgently.
"This is bad…"
"Even Baryon Mode's defense can barely hold under this attack frequency."
"And we're running out of time, Naruto."
Naruto analyzed calmly.
"The problem is that Susanoo earlier."
"Those glowing spheres behind it."
"That's the source of Akira's sudden casting ability."
Kurama understood.
"So… we have to use that technique."
Far away, the Konoha shinobi stared in stunned silence.
"What kind of attack is that…?"
"Even the Ten-Tails' Cataclysm looks like child's play compared to this!"
"If Akira had used that from the beginning…"
"Even with Kurama's chakra…"
"We'd all be dead."
Madara scoffed from above.
"Fools."
"If Akira unleashed that technique without restraint…"
"Not just Konoha."
"The entire Five Nations' shinobi army would vanish."
Obito sighed.
"Still… being able to suppress Baryon Naruto head-on."
"That must be Akira's best body."
Akira murmured quietly.
"The Five Shikigami are powerful."
"But against Baryon Naruto…"
"They can only suppress."
"If the full version appeared…"
"This wouldn't merely be suppression."
"BOOM!"
Suddenly—
within the chaotic storm—
crimson rings of energy rose in layers, pushing apart the elemental barrage.
Naruto crouched within the storm—
his fox cloak forming a blood-red Nine-Tails silhouette.
Akira smiled faintly.
"Oh?"
"So you dispersed the elemental torrent."
"That must be Baryon Mode's ultimate technique."
"The equivalent of Night Guy."
Kurama muttered internally.
"Luckily Naruto's Hashirama cells awakened earlier."
"Otherwise this technique wouldn't be possible."
"Naruto."
"You only get one chance."
"Aim for Akira's head."
"Kill him in a single strike."
"BOOM!"
The crimson fox form collapsed inward—
compressing into a blazing aura around Naruto.
"CRACK!"
Naruto shattered the ground beneath his feet—
and launched forward with lethal determination.
Akira realized immediately.
I can't move…
He locked me in place with sheer pressure.
And that level of explosive power—
the Shikigami wouldn't stop it.
Looks like I'll have to use my final trump card too.
The time-freezing ability of Umoda Flow originally belonged to the Rinnegan stage.
Akira had only forced it earlier using Mitsuhano while still at the Mangekyō stage.
Now that his right eye had awakened the Rinnegan, time freeze had become a standard ability.
It no longer required Mitsuhano.
Which meant—
his ocular power had spare capacity.
If combined now—
it could go even further.
"Crackle!"
Akira canceled Twin Flower and returned to his real body.
His left Mangekyō flared crimson.
The one-foot personal barrier around him—
suddenly expanded.
Madara saw it clearly through his Rinnegan.
The barrier expanded outward—
to three meters and three.
Exactly one zhang.
Madara smiled.
"Oh?"
"So the ultimate ability beyond the Rinnegan… has finally arrived."
In a flash—
Kurama spoke.
"Naruto."
"Did you feel that?"
"Yeah."
"The slowing field around him expanded."
"He's trying to slow our attack with distance."
"It's meaningless."
"Just break through it!"
"Exactly."
"BOOM!"
Naruto charged straight into the barrier.
Crimson energy condensed around his right arm.
"This time…"
"Uchiha Akira dies!"
Akira's eyes blazed.
"Mitsuhano amplification."
"Rinnegan's Umoda Flow."
"The final mechanism unleashed."
"Whether Baryon Mode or anything else…"
"It doesn't matter."
"Inside my one-zhang barrier—"
"All external time…"
"Except for myself…"
Stops.
"FLASH!"
Left Mangekyō.
Right Rinnegan.
Akira's eyes shone brilliantly.
