Chapter 449: 414. Uzumaki ONE-Punch
Cough… cough…
Naruto coughs slightly and wipes the dust from his clothes as he jumps out of a small crater.
"Naruto, are you alright?" Minato turns to him as he aids the rest of the Kages in their battle.
His clothes are tattered from the fight, but there is not as much as a scratch on his body.
"I am fine!" Naruto cracks his head.
GWAAH…
Fu, in her second-tailed-beast transformation jumps also jumps out from the debris. The chakra cloak around her body flickers like flames. The damage on her body regenerates as a perk of being an Edo.
She releases a roar and charges toward Naruto. A portion of her head turns into the seven-tails. A protrusion resembling the horn of a rhinoceros beetle sprouts from her head. Fu spits out chakra threads from her mouth. The chakra threads wrap around the horn and harden it even further.
"NARUTO! Avoid that attack at all costs." Kurama warns him.
"Huh! Why?"
"Naruto, my seventh sibling, Chomei, is armored kabutomushi (rhinoceros beetle). The armor on its body is even harder and more durable than diamond, especially the horn, which can even shatter the most durable mineral of the shinobi world into dust. Chomei's Spear Attack Shining Horn will grind your bones to dust if you are hit by that attack." Kurama warns Naruto.
"That sounds troublesome, but I think I can fight it." Naruto clenches his fist in confidence.
A red glow gathers around his fist.
"That glow! Naruto, don't tell me, you…"
"Yes, it took me a few years, but I think I can use it now. The super powerful technique Izuna Nii-san taught me." Naruto brims with confidence.
"Also, it's almost time."
SHOOM…
A large amount of Nature energy flows into Naruto's body out of nowhere. A dark red cloak with a black flame pattern shrouds Naruto and orange pigmentation appears around his eyes.
"Looks like it was a wise decision to leave a shadow clone behind to gather Nature energy." Kurama is surprised by Naruto's wits.
'Even though Naruto isn't as sharp as Minato, his combat sense is greater than Minato.' Kurama praises Naruto in his heart.
"Alright!"
Naruto takes a deep breath and extends his right leg forward while pushing his left leg backward.
SHOOM…
He infuses his chakra and nature energy into his fist and stretches it backward. The red color chakra on Naruto's fist turns golden as a result of nature energy.
'I can feel strength brimming through my body.' Naruto clenches his fist and patiently waits for the Edo Jinchuriki to close the gap.
When Chomei's horn is just a meter away from him, Naruto finally takes action.
HAAA…
He inserts the entire strength of his body into his fist.
Bang…
The powerful reactive force from coalescing his strength forms web-like cracks beneath Naruto's feet.
"Eat this!"
BAANNNGGG…
His punch lands on Chomei's horn and creates a powerful wind current. The powerful force of the attack sends shockwaves into the surrounding with Naruto as the epicenter. Ground crumbles beneath Naruto's feet and forms a massive crater.
HAAAAAA…
Naruto yells his lungs out and pumps all of his strength in the attack.
CRACK…
Cracks appear on Chomei's hardened horn.
Bang…
With a loud noise, the horn shatters into fragments and scatters. Naruto's punch continues with its powerful momentum and lands on Fu's head.
BOOM…
The powerful impact blasts away Fu's upper body. The remaining lower body of Fu is sent flying by the punch. It crashes through several trees and buildings while leaving behind a trail of destruction.
BANG…
It eventually slams into the nearby hill. Web-like cracks appear at the point of impact, and the entire hill trembles slightly. An avalanche of ice falls down from the peak of the hill.
The shockwaves from the attack travel across the battlefield. Some of the weaker shinobis tumble on the ground as a result.
Even Tsunade, Minato, Mei, and the rest of the Kage, including Obito, momentarily pause their battle and stare at the incredulous sight of Naruto's punch.
White smoke rises from Naruto's fist as the latter stares at his fist in disbelief.
"Did I just do that?" Naruto asks Kurama to confirm his doubt.
"Yes, you finally did it!"
"What was that, Naruto?" Tsunade is the first person to question him.
"Umm… well… I… umm… how I explain it? It's my new technique!" Naruto stutters as he replies.
"Where did you learn this technique?" Minato questions him in shock, as his mind is in turmoil.
'That wasn't a normal chakra-enhancing technique used by Tsunade-sama. Instead, Naruto compressed almost the entire chakra of his body, which is almost ten times that of a regular shinobi in his right hand, and released it all in that punch.
The power and concept behind that punch are similar to a super-powerful compressed chakra cannon. The force at the point of impact is enough to shatter mountains. This Naruto, when did he…'
*******Flashback-No-Jutsu*******
"Hey, Nii-san? Teach me this cool new jutsu. I also want to blow my opponents away."
Naruto is amazed by Izuna's recent battle where the latter just punched the air and send a group of shinobis flying from a distance of almost fifty meters.
There was no wind chakra involved in that attack. If it was there, then he would be able to sense it due to his affinity with the wind.
'Umm… how do I tell him? It's not some cool technique. I just pushed my physical strength to the limit by gathering all my chakra in my arm and layering it with Sage mode and power cloak to further enhance my strength to the extreme. With such a massive boost in physical strength, I punched the air in front of me. This powerful punch compressed all the air particles in front of my fist and ejected them forward at supersonic speed like an air cannon. Those shinobis were hit by that air blast. I adjusted my strength to prevent killing them. I just wanted to create a scene from one of my favorite animes in my past life and remove it from my bucket list.'
Izuna turns towards Naruto and notices his sparkling eyes which almost blind him.
'Ugh… fine! Naruto meets the minimum requirement to replicate this feat. He has enough chakra reserves and he will soon master Senjutsu. Although he doesn't have the power release cloak, he can make up for it by using the Nine-tails chakra cloak. The only thing he is lacking is a durable body at the moment. But with enough training, he can achieve it eventually. Hmm… perhaps after we return to the village, I will drop him in Might Guy's boot camp. He will beat Naruto in shape.
Also, Naruto has a versatile Ninjutsu ability in Rasengan and I also taught him a lot of other ninjutsu to expand his arsenal. However, he is lacking in Taijutsu and close combat. Perhaps this technique might make him the one-punch man of the shinobi world.'
"Alright, Naruto! I will teach this technique to you. But it's very difficult and has a very high requirement."
Izuna teaches the necessary steps to Naruto.
"First of all, you have to perfect your chakra control. It will be a challenge with your massive chakra pool, but I think you learn it, eventually. Second is Senjutsu…"
Izuna rambles for another hour and Naruto listens with complete interest.
"Alright, I will give a little demonstration of this technique! So, please get away a little."
"Yes, Nii-san!"
Naruto flickers a hundred meters away from Izuna.
"Good! Now watch closely!"
Izuna infuses his chakra and nature energy into his fist and stretches it backward. He also layers the power release chakra on top of it. The chakra on Izuna's fist turns golden as a result. Yellow lightning bolts jolt around his fist.
HAAA…
Izuna aims his fist toward a mountain in distance and punches out.
BANG…
A massive crater forms beneath Izuna's feet and the powerful shockwaves blow away the forest in his line of sight. Back in the distance, a huge fist print appears on the mountain.
Rumble… rumble…
The top of the mountain crumbles apart to create a landslide. Various animals and birds hurriedly escape from the area.
"Oops! I overdid it."
Izuna whistles and turns around.
"So, did you see that?"
"Yes!" Naruto frantically nods his head.
Sigh…
'What hardships I have to face just to mimic a fraction of One-punch-man's true strength!'
"Ah! I almost forgot. Naruto, follow this training regimen. One hundred pushups! One hundred sit-ups! One hundred squats! And a ten-kilometer run…"
"Umm… Nii-san, that's too easy!"
"I am not done yet. Perform this training set a hundred times. Do you understand Naruto?" Izuna turns to Naruto.
"Yes, nii-san, I will start right now." Naruto dashes off in the distance.
"Good! But don't overdo it."
"Oh! I forgot to tell him the turning off the AC but with Tsunade, it won't be a problem."
Izuna whistles and surveys the isolated island full of dangerous beasts.
*********End of Flashback*********
Onoki and A also pay attention to Naruto.
"So, that's the power of the jinchuruki of the nine-tails. The power he used in his battle against the legendary Rinnegan wielder Pain of Akatsuki." Onoki remarks.
"This brat…" A also stares at the smoking fist of Naruto.
'Can I withstand such a punch with my lightning cloak?' A question himself.
'I probably can't!' His inner voice answers him. Naruto's figure overlaps with the figure of Izuna in A's mind.
"This brat… he reminds me of Izuna Uchiha!" A murmur as he recalls his bet with Izuna a few years ago. (Chapter 123)
At that time, he had bet with Izuna to save the life of his comrade. Both of them agreed upon a test of endurance. Izuna's punch sent him into a coma for three days. The feeling of pure strength is still etched on his body.
A stare at the fist mark on his abdomen.
Chapter 450: 415. Obito Vs The Kages
After the dust settles down,
Fu's Edo body slowly crawls out of the hole. The chakra cloak of the second transformed state has long dissipated from the powerful impact of Naruto's punch.
Tch…
Obito clicks his tongue. He quickly appears beside her and store her tattered body in his Kamui.
'Among the tailed beast, seven-tails was supposed to be the third strongest after the eight-tails and the nine-tails and yet I couldn't even capture the jinchuruki of Nine-tails who didn't even use the power of his tailed beast. Should I unleash a full transformation? But there is a risk of losing control.'
Obito ponders.
"The full transformation will go against over initial plan. Our purpose in this meeting was to declare Akatsuki's power and assassinate a kage to lower the strength of their alliance. Since we didn't meet our objective; it's time for us to retreat." Black Zetsu warns Obito through telepathy.
"Very well!"
Obito activates his Kamui to escape.
Fwoosh…
The spiral portal of Kamui's dissipates before it could even form.
"What's going on?" Obito wonders.
"This must be the doing of Minato-Sensei!" Obito recalls his previous battle with Minato.
'Minato-Sensei is one of the greatest space-time users of the shinobi world. He must have found a method to restrain space-time techniques.' Obito grits his teeth.
'I still have that trump card, but I don't want to use it here. Also, thanks to the intel of Konoha, they can easily counter the Rinnegan abilities. And I can't sustain a such large amount of chakra usage for a prolonged time even with the Hashirama cells. Very well, then…'
Obito makes a Ram hand sign.
Whoosh…
Chakara flows out of his body and enters the black rod receiver on the body of the remaining five Edo-jinchuruki. The jinchuruki transforms into their semi-tailed beast with partial features of their respective tailed beast.
The transformed Edo-jinchuruki aggressively attacks them with newfound vigor. The rest of the Kage slightly struggle against the frenzied jinchurukis.
'The strength of an Edo depends on the strength of the vessel used to reincarnate the Edo. If the vessel is too weak, then Edo can't bring out their full potential in a fight. Although Kabuto's perfect technique reincarnated them near their peak strength, the body of an Edo isn't suitable as a host for a tailed beast.'
Whoosh…
Obito retreats behind the Edo-jinchurukis.
"We can't let the next generation steal our thunder. We have to show them what we are made of." Onoki claps his calm and creates a transparent energy cube.
Whoosh…
He fires it toward Han, the five-tails jinchuruki.
Fwoosh…
Steam rises from Han's back and he flickers out from the path of the atomic dismantling ray.
"That's the boil release Kekkei Genkai." Kurotsuchi remarks.
Whoosh…
Han flickers in front of Onoki and punches him.
BANG…
Onoki blocks Han's attack by coating his body with earth release
Choo…
A whistling sound similar to a steam engine erupts from Han's body. The temperature of Han's armor rises extensively and steam escapes from the gap between the joints.
BANG…
Han's fist breaks through the boulder and strikes Onoki.
Rumble…
Onoki's body shatters into countless rock fragments. Two giant arms erupt from the ground and grab Han's legs.
"I heard that an Edo Tensei can regenerate from any damage and is almost immortal. I wonder what will happen if I dismantle it into atoms?"
Onoki reappears at a slight distance.
He claps his palm and shrouds a large area around Han into a transparent energy construct.
"Particle Style: Detachment to the Primitive World,"
Whoosh…
A bright light shines inside the energy construct with Han trapped in its center. The light lasts for a few seconds before diffusing into the surroundings. Every object or matter within the cube disappears into nothingness.
"Hmm… looks like not even an Edo can survive my particle style." Onoki proudly crosses his arm.
Tsunade, A, Mei, Mifune, and the rest of the Samurai stare at Onoki in amazement.
"Incredible! So, that's the legendary technique of the Tsuchikage-sama!" The samurai gossip among themselves.
Only Izumi, Minato, and Obito sense something amiss.
'The large amount of chakra in that area hasn't dispersed yet.' Minato senses a giant lump of chakra at the previous position of Han.
'From this chakra signature, I can definitely tell that this isn't five-tails chakra, but it's jinchuruki's chakra.'
Izumi and Obito glance at the position with their Mangekyo Sharingan. They notice several microscopic particles slowly clustering together in a place. The size of the particle slowly increases from a few nanometers to a few micrometers. The ashen material composing Edo's body slowly swirls in place.
'Hmm… so it's able to regenerate, albeit at a very slow pace. In that case…"
Swish… swish…
Obito makes some hand signs and infuses some chakra in his Rinnegan.
Badump…
A burst of chakra releases from the Rinnegan.
Fwoosh…
Dark purple flames erupt from the ground and the King of the Underworld slowly reveals peeks out of the purple flames. It opens its mouth and sucks the air in its surroundings.
"What… what's going on?"
Onoki and A feel a chill down their spine.
"What's that?" Both of them sense a life-death crisis from the king of the Underworld as they stare in trepidation.
"This creature has a Rinnegan?!"
"It's one of the abilities of the Rinnegan, the Naraka Path. The wielder of the Rinnegan can summon the king of the Underworld from the depths of hell." Minato explains the ability to Onoki.
"Don't stare into its eyes for too long or else it will rip your soul from your body," Minato warns him.
"Also, don't touch those flames. These flames don't harm the physical body, but they burn the soul of anyone who touches them." Minato warns A, who was about to launch a sneak attack on the King of Hell from a blind spot.
"You were thinking of sacrificing your arm to inflict some damage to Obito, weren't you?" Tsunade questions him.
Hmph…
A snort and turns his attention toward his opponent.
He indeed had thoughts of attacking him while the latter was busy summoning the King of Hell. When Obito infused his chakra into his Rinnegan to summon the King of Hell, he momentarily lost control over his other paths; thus, making them static in their position.
Izumi and Minato curiously stare at the entire situation without missing any moment.
Izumi notices the king of Hell pulling away all the microscopic particles of ashes and chakra in his mouth and rearranging them accordingly.
While Minato, though unable to see the microscopic particles, senses much more than Izumi. He senses the King of Hell pull the entire chakra of Han and Five-tails from the surroundings and reconstruct their body using the blueprint from their soul.
Yes, Minato was able to sense Han's soul trapped within the vessel. Due to his prior experience of being in a limbo state in a soul-like state, he and Kushina can sense the spiritual world in their surroundings and have grown accustomed to the matters related to souls.
A few seconds later, Han walks out of the Hell King's mouth. The Hell King stares at Obito for a few seconds with a warning gaze while scaring the shit out of him. After warning Obito, it enters the purple flame portal and disappears.
Obito also wipes the cold sweat from his body. The Hell King warned him for abusing the authority of Rinnegan to trap souls from Pure Land.
At a faraway place, In a secret hideout.
Kuku…
Kabuto smirks as he stares at the pieces on a Shogi board. Slight cracks appear on one of the shogi pieces. He grabs the Shogi piece between his fingers.
"Tobi, that bastard! He overwrote my control command over the Edo jinchurukis using the Rinnegan and even resealed their tailed beasts within them. Although, I can dispel Edo Tensei and release their soul back to the Pure Land. However, that will break the terms of our contract." Kabuto clicks his tongue.
"But now he seems to be in a pinch. It's time. I will use my trump card and make him aware of my power and influence in this war."
Kabuto claps his hands.
Shoom…
A coffin erupts out of the ground.
Bang…
The door of the coffin opens up. A smile creeps up on Kabuto's face.
"It's about time. The terror returns to the shinobi world."
