Chapter 361 361 Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion vs Tailed Beast Bomb
Facing the ferocious B in partial Tailed Beast form, Menma still appeared composed and unhurried.
He didn't even fully activate his Tenseigan Chakra Mode, just relying on speed and reactions far surpassing his opponent, leisurely dodging B's storm-like claw swipes and tail strikes like taking a stroll.
Dark red Chakra Claws tore through the air but always narrowly missed Menma's clothes… the violent Chakra Tails whipped the ground like giant whips, blasting out deep craters, but couldn't even capture Menma's movement trajectory.
After several exchanges, Menma seemed to find it somewhat boring.
His right hand made a grasping motion. A completely black rod, about half a meter long, with an extremely smooth surface, materialized out of thin air in his hand.
This black rod seemed plain and unadorned but emitted a chilling, heart-palpitating aura.
Just as B pounced again with a claw swipe, Menma flicked his wrist. The black rod shot out like a striking venomous snake, striking later but arriving first, accurately and precisely hitting B's chest covered in Tailed Beast Chakra!
Sizzle—!
There was no earth-shattering loud noise, only a sound like a red-hot iron plunged into cold water.
B's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt!
He only felt an extremely cold, strongly interfering force instantly penetrate the protection of his Tailed Beast Chakra, invade his body, making the flow of Chakra throughout his body suddenly stagnate, as if a circuit was instantly cut!
Immediately after, a tremendous force erupted from the point where the black rod made contact!
"Pfft—!"
B violently spat out a mouthful of blood. His dark red partial Tailed Beast form body flew backward as if hit by a high-speed train, faster than when he charged, heavily smashing into the ground, plowing a trench dozens of meters long before barely stopping. The Tailed Beast Chakra on his body dimmed considerably.
On the other side, the Konoha's Ninja had long been watching with hearts pounding.
Doto's eyes widened, breathing heavily, his palms gripping the iron club sweaty: "So... so fast! Minato, did you see his movements just now?"
He considered himself not weak in Taijutsu, but before such speed, he felt like a clumsy wooden stake.
Gaku half-crouched, tightly holding his Ninken, Omaru, who was crouching on the ground whimpering in fear from sensing the terrifying auras of the Eight-Tails and Menma. His face pale as he asked: "Minato, what he used... was it a Space-Time Ninjutsu? Or is it just pure Taijutsu speed?"
If it was the latter, that would simply be too terrifying.
Minato slowly shook his head, his blue eyes filled with unprecedented gravity. He stared intently at the youth in the field, holding the black rod, appearing relaxed, and said solemnly: "It's not Space-Time Ninjutsu. There's none of that unique spatial fluctuation."
"This is... pure speed and bodily reaction. At such speed, even if I used the Flying Thunder God Technique at full power for instant movement, at such close range, I'm afraid it would be difficult to completely keep up with his action rhythm." He had to admit, in the domain of absolute speed, he had encountered an unimaginable opponent.
Just then, from within the smoke kicked up by A's crash, came the sound of intense coughing.
A, his clothes ragged, blood trailing from the corner of his mouth, with a clear depression in his chest, staggered out from the rubble.
He saw B, who had been knocked back with one strike. His eyes were instantly filled with violent rage and fighting spirit!
"B!" A growled lowly. Ignoring his severe injuries, he forcefully activated chakra again!
"Strongest Lightning Release Armor!"
Even more dazzling, even more violent blue lightning erupted from his body than before!
He pushed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the limit of what he could currently endure!
He would use his strongest attack to avenge B and reclaim the dignity of Kumogakure!
"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!"
A roared, his body shooting into the air like a cannonball, leaping to mid-air. He highly compressed all his Lightning Attribute Chakra, concentrating it on his right hand, forming a dazzling, brilliant lightning hand-chop that seemed capable of severing everything!
Then, like a diving thunder eagle, carrying an unstoppable, shattering-everything momentum, he fiercely chopped down towards Menma on the ground!
This strike concentrated all his power and will!
Facing this ultimate killing strike that would make ordinary Kage-level experts avoid its sharpness, Menma merely slightly raised his eyelids.
He didn't even make any evasive movement, just casually held the seemingly insignificant black rod in his hand, horizontally blocking upward.
Clang—!!!
An ear-piercing, deafening metallic clashing sound, completely unlike a collision of flesh and blood, exploded!
It's as if two godly weapons fiercely collided!
A's determined hand-chop viciously struck that slender black rod!
The anticipated scene of the black rod breaking and the opponent being cleaved in two did not occur.
Instead, A felt as if he had chopped onto a steel plate!
That small black rod remained motionless!
Not only that, an extremely strange force instantly counter-attacked along the contact point, not only instantly numbing his entire right arm and making it lose sensation, but also causing the surging Lightning Attribute Chakra within his body to become chaotic and almost go out of control and backfire!
"How is this possible?!!" A's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
"My Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop... was actually blocked... What kind of weapon is this?!"
He couldn't comprehend how there could be such a hard weapon in this world that could also interfere with Chakra?
'Was it a Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths?'
Just as A's mind was greatly shaken, with old force spent and new force not yet generated, B, who had been knocked away, struggled to stand up again.
Seeing his big brother's attack easily blocked, feeling both anxious and furious, he no longer hesitated. He violently opened the huge maw formed by his partial Tailed Beast transformation!
Yin-Yang Attribute Chakra began to wildly gather and compress in his mouth. A black-purple sphere containing destructive energy rapidly took shape at a visible speed.
Tailed Beast Bomb!
"Not good! It's a Tailed Beast Bomb! Everyone, retreat quickly!" Minato's expression changed drastically, immediately warning loudly!
An attack of this level was enough to wipe this forest, along with them, off the map!
For some reason, perhaps feeling this mysterious youth wasn't a pure enemy, Minato, while reminding his companions to dodge, as if possessed, actually shouted towards Menma, who was still standing in place looking up at the forming Tailed Beast Bomb: "Watch out! That's a Tailed Beast Bomb!"
Seeing this, A's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. Enduring the numbness in his right arm and the chaotic Chakra within his body, his remaining left arm and legs wrapped around Menma's body and legs like iron tongs. He roared towards Minato's direction: "Don't even think of escaping!"
Menma looked down at A, who was desperately clinging to him. Not only was there no panic on his face, but a faint, slightly mocking smile appeared: "Escape? Who's escaping?"
As soon as the words fell, that familiar, despair-inducing invisible repulsive force once again erupted with him as the center!
"Shinra Tensei!"
Thump!
A, who was desperately clinging to him, as if hit head-on by an invisible giant hammer, vomited a large mouthful of blood, and was once again violently repelled, crashing into a pile of rubble in the distance, falling silent for a moment.
And now, the Tailed Beast Bomb in B's mouth had already fully formed!
That black-purple sphere emitted soul-trembling destructive fluctuations!
"Die! Idiot~! Fool~!" B roared, firing the fully formed Tailed Beast Bomb!
The black-purple sphere, carrying a trajectory of destroying everything, shot towards Menma!
Facing this terrifying attack capable of obliterating a mountain, Menma's expression finally became a bit more serious.
He slowly raised his right hand. A pitch-black Truth-Seeking Ball floated lightly in his palm.
The golden Tenseigan on Menma's forehead suddenly erupted with a radiance as dazzling as the sun!
Massive Tenseigan Chakra madly poured into the Truth-Seeking Ball in his palm!
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion."
Menma murmured softly, as if announcing a divine punishment.
The Truth-Seeking Ball in his palm instantly changed form, extending, shaping, transforming into an enormous, golden-brilliant, Chakra Light Sword that seemed constructed of pure light energy!
Flowing with an aura of destruction on the light sword, its imposing might even suppressed the powerful Tailed Beast Bomb!
At the moment the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to reach him, Menma, holding the giant golden light sword, simply swung it down towards that black-purple destructive sphere!
A brief silence occur.
Under everyone's stunned gazes, that Tailed Beast Bomb containing the Eight-Tails' massive Chakra, capable of destroying a large city, upon contact with the golden light sword, like a fragile soap bubble, began to be forcibly split from the center point by an even more powerful force!
The split Tailed Beast Bomb lost stability. The powerful energy within instantly went out of control, triggering a world-shaking great explosion!
Rumble rumble rumble—!!!!
The terrifying explosive shockwave swept out in all directions like a tsunami, instantly leveling all trees and rocks within a radius of nearly a thousand meters!
Scorching heat waves and blinding light devoured everything!
However, this destructive explosion couldn't shake that golden light sword in the slightest!
The golden light sword, like a divine artifact cleaving through waves, forcibly carved out a straight, vacuum-like passage within the explosion's core area!
Its momentum unabated, carrying an annihilating-everything aura, continued to slash towards the stunned B behind, whose Tailed Beast Bomb had been broken!
At the critical moment of life and death, Gyuki within B let out a desperate roar, exerting all its strength to release all its Chakra!
"Roar—!!"
An immensely huge Eight-Tails, with octopus tentacles and a bull's head, instantly appeared on the battlefield!
It used its own massive body to block in front of the golden light sword!
Sizzle—!
Like a hot knife through butter, the golden light sword passed through the center of the full-fledged Eight-Tails' massive body without any obstruction!
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The raging shockwave from the explosion slowly subsided, leaving behind billowing smoke and dust. As the smoke gradually dispersed, the forest had been carved with a terrifying straight line.
A struggled to raise his head from the pile of rubble. When he saw the scene at the center of the battlefield, his pupils instantly lost focus. He let out a heart-wrenching, tearful shout: "B—!!!"
In the distance, Minato, Doto, Gaku and the others, who had already retreated to a safe zone, were also frozen in place, their faces filled with indescribable shock.
At the center of the battlefield, the massive Eight-Tails' body was slowly splitting apart from the middle, turning into the most primitive Chakra light points, rapidly dissipating like candles in the wind.
And at the spot where the Eight-Tails originally stood, B lay collapsed on the ground, blood spurting from his mouth.
On his chest, a hideous wound stretching from his left shoulder all the way to his right abdomen almost split his entire body diagonally!
The wound was deep enough to see bone, even faintly revealing damaged internal organs and broken ribs within. Blood gushed out like a spring, dyeing the earth beneath him red.
His eyes were tightly shut, his face pale as paper, his breath weak to the extreme.
Menma, considering the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was too great and could split the entire Ninja World, did not use six Truth-Seeking Balls to form the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion like Toneri did in the movie. But even the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion formed from just one Truth-Seeking Ball was terrifyingly powerful!
If not for Gyuki forcefully fully materializing at the last moment, using its massive body and Chakra to block the vast majority of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion's power for him, B at this moment would have already been completely vaporized, leaving no trace.
A rushed forward desperately, kneeling beside B, his hands trembling but not daring to touch the terrifying wound.
For the first time, he felt so clearly the pain and fear of powerlessness. He could only repeatedly roar his brother's name: "B! B! Hold on! You hold on for me!"
And the perpetrator, Menma, quietly hovered in mid-air. The golden Chakra surrounding him remained dazzling. The Tenseigan on his forehead gazed down indifferently at the tragic scene below, as if that world-shaking slash just now was merely a casual act of crushing an ant to him.
In the forest, only A's sorrowful cries echoed across the battlefield of broken walls and ruins.
