Chapter 275: Chapter 276 : Nine Tail Chakra!
"Damn... Is this the power of the Sage of Six Paths?"
Tobirama was covered in scars, steadily retreating as he felt his strength waning with each step, his movements growing sluggish and feeble.
The energy within him coiled like an unbreakable steel cable. Tobirama had witnessed various intricate seals during his travels in the Land of Whirlpools.
Is this the suppression of bloodlines? Is this the chasm that separates mortals from gods?
"Ha... Ha..."
Ginkaku too showed signs of exhaustion, yet he gripped the Seven Star Sword without hesitation, fixating on Tobirama like a starving wolf.
"Ginkaku... If we kill him, we'll be revered as the strongest in the ninja world!"
Kinkaku leaned against a tree trunk, blood seeping from his abdomen, the wound stubbornly refusing to heal.
Bearing the weight of his burning life and enduring severe injuries, Ginkaku felt the chill creeping into his body, but he watched as Ginkaku gradually cornered Tobirama, his face twisted with unbridled excitement and madness.
"No need to remind me. I'm well aware."
The weakened chakra of the Ginkaku couldn't even fuel his ninjutsu, yet it surpassed Tobirama, who was now completely drained of power.
The so-called Yin-Yang Seal of the Ginkaku and Kinkaku may have appeared crude to Takeshi, but it still harnessed the remnants of the Sage of Six Path Powers within his bloodline.
The Yin-Yang Release was the pinnacle of chakra attributes, rare and intricate, yet it now shackled Tobirama's might.
Thousands of years ago, Hagoromo founded a sect, leaving behind a legacy that branched out over generations. The descendants who inherited this power were more than one.
However, as time passed, the potential in their bloodlines waned, and this power faded into legend, hidden from the public eye.
Today, Ginkaku and Kinkaku spared no effort to kill Tobirama, burning their own blood, sacrificing their lives to invoke that obscure ancient ninjutsu, the Yin-Yang Seal, all to accomplish the feat of beheading a Hokage!
"Almost there... Is it time to end it? It seems there's not much difference left..."
In the shadows, a figure moved silently, wielding a crystal-clear slender sword, donning a cold mask and a black cloak, advancing quietly toward the end of the battlefield.
Behind him lay Cloud Ninja, who had finally caught up, now lying silent on the ground.
"Tobirama, you can't die yet... If you must die, it won't be here."
Takeshi's voice, like a whispering wind, faded as he gradually vanished into the distance...
"Well... I never thought I'd meet my end here!"
Tobirama was once again thwarted by the Ginkaku, his eyes reflecting strong reluctance, a hint of regret, and despair.
With his demise, Konoha, lacking a leader among the Senju, his own disciples, the Uchiha clan, and the village itself, was bound to plunge into turmoil.
Tobirama summoned one last burst of strength, narrowly dodging the fatal strike aimed at his neck.
"Haha, the will to survive is commendable, but it's futile in the end!"
With a swift motion, Ginkaku raised the Seven-Star Sword once more, aiming to seal Tobirama's fate.
"Pfft—!"
Blood sprayed forth as the sharp blade pierced through his heart. Yet, despite the mortal wound, Tobirama's silver eyes and horns blazed with defiance, emitting an unearthly scream before succumbing to death.
"Kinkaku!"
Ginkaku's head snapped around, witnessing a sight that tore at his very soul.
As if materializing from the shadows themselves, Takeshi appeared behind Ginkaku, driving a graceful blade straight through his chest.
"No--!!"
Ginkaku's agonized cry echoed through the air as he desperately unleashed the power of the Nine-Tailed Chakra within him. His skin cracked as he bellowed into the sky!
"Who are you...?!"
Tobirama, who had resigned himself to his demise, stared at the figure cloaked in darkness. Those crimson, otherworldly eyes stirred a tempest within his heart.
"We meet again. I am Uchiha Dragon."
Takeshi's expression remained stoic as he infused the Futsu Soul Sword with the essence of his being. The blade flickered with white light, erasing Ginkaku's consciousness with its divine power.
In its wake, a violent surge of chakra erupted, brimming with malice and hatred, seeking to consume Takeshi and turn him into a vessel, a puppet.
Ginkaku's Nine-Tailed Chakra would not dissipate upon his "death." Instead, it raged forth, intent on subjugating Takeshi.
"Humph!"
Takeshi snorted disdainfully, unfazed by the onslaught. The Nine-Tailed Chakra, born of Ginkaku and Kinkaku, was formidable, yet beyond his current capabilities to control.
"Calm yourself!"
A colossal wave of mental energy, akin to stars illuminating the night sky, surged forth, dispersing the surrounding turmoil.
With a slight bow of his head, Takeshi's demeanor shifted. Scarlet Mangekyō Sharingan's eyes slowly turned, revealing a profound change.
"You... this can't be!"
Tobirama, now fallen, paled in shock as the Ginkaku's form was engulfed by the searing Nine-Tailed Chakra.
"Roar--!"
"Banish it!"
The soul flame erupted along the Futsu Soul Sword, incinerating the rampant chakra emanating from Kinkaku!
Like water meeting boiling oil, the Nine-Tailed Chakra before them surged, emitting an unconscious roar akin to a wild beast!
"Merciless—!!"
Takeshi's gaze hardened, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes spinning like a high-speed gear, emanating potent ocular prowess.
"You savage!"
With a sudden motion, Takeshi extended his hand, sand swirling around it, and forcefully sealed Kinkaku within, binding him tightly!
"You... Your aim is the Nine-Tails' chakra? What do you seek?!"
Tobirama watched Takeshi's rapid actions in horror, piecing together his intentions.
Tobirama couldn't fathom how the "Uchiha Dragon" had appeared in this place. He understood Takeshi's intent of sealing the rampant powers of the Nine-Tails, but this Uchiha... What was his true motive?!
"Haha... Simply acquiring the power I require."
Takeshi wiped the sweat off his brow, sneering as he revealed that he had temporarily contained the Nine-Tails' chakra within Kinkaku's body using the technique of self-devouring crane.
He had underestimated the might of the Nine-Tails, the depth of its resentment, and the inadequacy of using soul flames to purge its malevolence.
The power of the Nine-Tails was immense, nearly erupting into chaos. Even the Mangekyō Sharingan could only momentarily placate it and quell its fury.
And Kinkaku's body served as an excellent vessel.
"Whoever you are! I'll end you! Argh!!"
Ginkaku, consumed by Tobirama's proximity, had lost all rationality. Kinkaku was his sole concern. In this moment, he didn't hesitate to harness the Nine-Tails' power within him to eliminate the foe before him!
"Roar--!"
Much like the others, Nine Tail Chakrarampaged, yet this time, Ginkaku's consciousness had been completely devoured by the Nine-Tails' will, transforming alongside his animosity into a beast cloaked in human skin!
Chakra surged, yet he struggled to control such overwhelming power.
The toll of unleashing the Nine-Tails' chakra was severe, even for one with the blood of a Sage of Six Path.
Ginkaku, nearing the end of his wits, harbored the final thought of taking Takeshi down with him!
