-------------------------------
Izuna quickly arrives at the sacrificial altar. He throws a cursory glance at the altar and then turns his attention toward an unconscious Naruto and Sasuke.
There are several cracks in the protective barrier around them and it is barely holding out.
Izuna disperses the barrier and checks up on the duo.
"Sasuke has exhausted his chakra and Naruto has passed out from the backlash of the negative emotion sensing technique of Kurama. Other than that, they have some minor injuries which will heal in no time."
Swish… swish…
"Summoning Jutsu: Katsuyu"
Poof…
A white slug with a blue striped line appears in front of Izuna.
"Izuna-kun!"
"Lady Katsuyu! Take these two to safety and help me treat the rest of the villagers and shinobis. Also, Lady Tsunade's disciple is with them."
Katsuyu raises her antler and glances at the giant eye in the rift. She shivers at the sight of that frightening chakra oozing out from the centurion.
"Izuna-kun, take care!"
"Don't worry, Lady Katsuyu, I don't have any plan to die yet."
Izuna smiles at her and waves his hand as he mutters to himself.
'I might really die this time.'
He stares at the state of his body.
'Due to the influence of this negative chakra, the detriment of my chakra system has accelerated. Perhaps this will be my last fight.'
Izuna tightly clutches his fist.
'But somehow, I have a gut feeling that not only will I find a cure, but I will also get stronger if I survive this battle.'
Izuna closes his eyes and listens to the mysterious notes humming inside his mind.
'This must be the sound pattern for Saezuri to unleash the Ama no Hoko. But why does it feel like I have heard it before?'
Haah…
He shakes his head and opens his eyes, and glares at the giant eye in the sky.
'Since you want to desperately free yourself from this prison, I will lend you a hand.'
Izuna steadily walks on top of the reverse pentagon seal.
Bang…
He stomps on the ground and destroys the floor underneath to reveal a hidden alcove. There is an odd-looking device in the alcove.
Wham… wham…
The sound rods in Izuna's pocket fly on their own. The device also floats out of the alcove.
Clank… clank… clank…
Izuna grabs the rods and slots them in the keyholes. A futuristic panel appears on top of the ancient device. Izuna hums the melody sung by Miina and presses on the device accordingly.
Haa… Humm… Hoo… Haa…
The rhythm of the song echoes throughout the hole as the musical note enchants almost everyone.
Outside the barrier, Dokku and the rest of the villagers hear the melody of Ama no Hoko.
"That's the… that's the melody Miina usually hums." Leo instantly points it out.
All the villagers silently stare at an unconscious Miina.
"So, the legends are true. Our ancestors were the guardians of the HOLE."
Ausma and Kurenai stare at each other and shake their head.
"We must do what can we do in our power to fulfill our part of the responsibility." Kurenai sighs helplessly.
"The old man was right! Even if the sky falls one day, there will be someone to hold it for us." He lights up a cigarette.
-------------
Inside the barrier,
Kakashi, Guy, Shisui, and Itachi's combined effort easily subdues the demonized Disonasu. Itachi summons the Totsuka blade and pierces it through Disonasu to seal him in a gourd.
Kakashi stares at the giant rift in the sky.
"I have a bad feeling about this."
He turns towards Shisui and Itachi.
"I feel like Izuna is going to do something reckless again!"
Shisui and Itachi stare at each other and nod.
"We both also have this jittery feeling since the moment Izuna Nii-san appeared. Let's go and help him. We might not be able to help much, but at least we won't become a burden like last time."
All of them recall the previous encounter with Urashiki and Isshiki.
"We have grown a lot stronger since then!" Shisui clutches his fist.
"Let's go!"
----------------
Back at the Ama no Hoko.
Saezuri continues to produce the musical notes and slowly molds them into different shapes.
Bam… bam…
The mind-controlled demon who is hammering the seal around the rift pauses in its action. It slowly turns its head towards Izuna and growls.
Whoosh…
The demon lunges at Izuna as its entire body gets coated with the negative chakra.
"So, you sensed my intention!"
Izuna calmly raises his head and stares at the gigantic eye in the rift.
"Yes, I don't have any intention of resealing you; I will kill you and end it for once and for all."
SUSANOO!!
Izuna roars as a large amount of chakra pours out of his body to form gold and silver Susanoo. There is a gigantic black shield on Susanoo's back.
Whoosh…
The Susanoo stretches out his left palm. Five complete truth-seeking orbs appear on its fingertips. The Susanoo clenches its fist as the truth-seeing orbs fuse to form a blade.
'Sword of Nunoboko,'
The Susanoo wields a large, double-helix-shaped great sword.
"For the first time in my life, I will go all out!"
He swings the sword towards the rapidly approaching demon.
"Annihilation Release: Absolute Severance,"
All five types of elemental chakra condense on the tip of the Nunoboko blade. The elemental chakra harmonizes in such a destructive way that any sort of imbalance might trigger a collapse in their form.
*BOOOMMM*
An ear-piercing, deafening explosion occurs at the tip of the Nunoboko blade as the condensed sword light forcefully pushes the air in its vicinity to create a vacuum.
The surrounding air compresses in a cone and blows backward like a powerful stream of jet, blowing everything to dust in its immediate surrounding.
The beam of sword light rapidly approaches the demon and drowns it in its radiance, annihilating it in the process.
*BANG*
The annihilation beam hits the crimson barrier around the HOLE.
Crack… crack…
With a sound like the shattering of glass, numerous cracks appear all over the barrier as it is almost on the verge of collapsing.
Huff… huff…
Izuna breathes heavily as he stares at the aftereffects of his jutsu.
"Huff… huff… so this is the power of an offensive Kekkai Mora. If the power of a Kekkai Shi is vastly spread out, then the power of a Kekkai Mora is extremely condensed. Condensed to the point that it can distort the very reality and matter."
Izuna stares at the aftermath of the jutsu.
There are numerous chaotic space fragments in the wake of the impact. The annihilation beam has left a ravine of plasma in its path. Harmful radiation continues to leak out from the surroundings as nearby plants and other microscopic lifeforms wither and die.
"The demon and the barrier absorbed ninety-nine percent of the force of the jutsu, otherwise the situation might be even worse."
Izuna shakes his head and stares at the Nunoboko sword in his hands. There are multiple cracks in it.
"If truth-seeking balls are a utility type jutsu, then my annihilation release is a pure destruction type jutsu. After all, destruction is much easier than creation."
Izuna shakes his head in dismay.
"Kaguya was something else to create a powerful utility type Kekkai Mora, like Truth seeking balls. Later, Hagoromo, Hamura, and their descendants received it as an heirloom. However, for me… How could I be content with just the truth-seeking ball? I won't be a true sage if I didn't create my own Kekkai Mora. Besides, Kaguya took centuries, whereas it only took me ten years."
Sparks appear in between Izuna's fingers as the five elemental chakras perfectly synchronize with each other in harmony.
"There are still flaws in it. It's the reason I had to use truth-seeking orbs to stabilize it. Once perfected, it would be a grade above the truth-seeking balls. Still, if I use it at full power, I can easily cleave the entire shinobi world in half."
The previous attack wasn't a gamble. He consulted Genryū about the strength of the crimson barrier. Only after getting his confirmation did he release this jutsu?
Whoosh…
A fierce wind blows towards the vacuum created by the previous jutsu. Kakashi, Guy, Shisui, and Itachi are almost blown away by the winds.
Shisui and Itachi summon their Susanoo to shield Kakashi and Guy from the strong winds.
"This jutsu…"
Kakashi and Guy stare at each other with trepidation.
"This monster had long left us in the dust. We could only chase his footprints on the sand. But now, not even footprints are visible."
Both of them shake their head and give up any hope of catching up to Izuna.
"At least, he was never our target to surpass!"
Kakashi heaves a sigh of relief.
"With him around, Konoha will be safe from all sorts of otherworldly threats lurking in the dark."

-------------------------------
"Izuna"
"Nii-san!"
Kakashi, Guy, Shisui, and Itachi fly towards Izuna. Izuna turns towards them and smiles.
"This is not a battle you guys can participate in."
A shiver runs through their spine as the giant eye scrutinizes them. Izuna points his hand towards them.
"Almighty push!"
Fwoosh….
Shisui and Itachi's Susanoo are sent flying towards the exit on the barrier.
"Nii-san! You don't have to bear this responsibility on your own." Shisui shouts at him.
"Shisui is right! We can strategize and fight accordingly. All of us can play a part to the best of our abilities." Kakashi suggests to him.
"No!" Izuna shakes his head.
"In front of absolute power, no strategy or scheme stands a chance."
With that, he pushes them out of the Hole and closes the exit of the barrier.
'Also, I don't want any other causality in this battle.'
Izuna recalls the previous encounter with Isshiki.
'In the heat of battle and recklessness, I don't want to lose any of you. Also, I have a high chance to win this battle and survive. Though I can't say anything about the aftermath!'
He clears useless thoughts from his head and turns his attention toward the Saezuri. The Saezuri completes its transformation, leaving behind a peculiar weapon.
Izuna glances at the weapon.
It's dumbbell-shaped with a ribbed spherical head on both sides. The handle of the weapon shines with a metallic luster as it slowly rotates mid-air.
"How is this a spear? It looks like a freaking baton. Should I bash someone with its sharp end?"
Izuna holds the weapon in his hand and curiously inspects it. There are unfamiliar ruins intricately inscribed over the entire body of the weapon.
"So, how do I use this thing?"
Izuna questions himself.
He flips the ancient weapon into his palm.
"Maybe I should infuse some chakra in it, since it seems like a chakra weapon."
Izuna infuses his chakra into the weapon, but there is no change.
"Huh! No reaction?! Then what about nature energy?"
He infuses it with nature energy but there is no change whatsoever. Izuna furrows his brows.
"Could I be wrong about it? Could this thing might not be a weapon, but something else?"
"Try to infuse with light chakra!" Genryū suggests him.
"Alright!"
Izuna infuses the light chakra into the ancient weapon.
Wham… wham…
Ama no Hoko greedily sucks his light chakra. Half of the inscriptions on it light up.
Swoosh…
"It rapidly increases in size and fits in the hand of Susanoo.
Fwoosh… Fwoosh…
A beam of white light shoots out from the ribbed spherical ends. The entire weapon takes the shape of a glowing white thunderbolt.
"This… this is…"
Izuna is shocked by the sudden change of the weapon as it reminds him of an old legend in Indian Mythology in his past life.
"Vajra!"
An ancient powerful weapon of God king Indra, the ruler of the heavens. This mighty weapon was shaped in the form of a lightning bolt representing the divine punishment of heaven. This weapon was forged from the bones of an enlightened sage who readily sacrificed his life by self-immolation, leaving behind his indestructible skeleton.
The god of forgery used the spine of the sage to forge the heavenly weapon of retribution, Vajra. God king Indra used this powerful weapon to battle against the Vedic demon dragon serpent Vritra.
Izuna grips the lightning bolt and glares at the giant eye in the rift.
The full appearance of the centurion demon appears in his vision. The Centurion is a gigantic snake with draconic features. It has a single eye in the center of its forehead. There are four crown-shaped horns on its head.
Haaah…
Izuna takes a deep breath and aims the Ama no Hoko toward the giant serpent.
"Will I be able to repeat the legend of God King Indra and defeat my adversary?"
Swoosh…
The Susanoo launches the spear towards the giant rift in the sky.
Time seems to have slowed down as the spear approaches the barrier separating the shinobi world and the prison dimension.
Kacha… Kacha…
Like the shattering of glass, the thin barrier between dimensions shatters into thousands of pieces. Each broken piece represents a portion of space at those coordinates. A void forms in the place of shattered space.
Fwoosh…
The restrictions of the space instantly disappear, and so does the seal holding down the Centurion demon in its place.
Roar…
The serpent demon roar in anger as it stares at the rapidly approaching Ama no Hoko with fury. It opens its mouth and condenses a large amount of negative chakra into its mouth.
"Meikai no Bakufū," [Netherworld Blast]
He releases a violet beam of energy towards the incoming spear.
*BOOM*
The impact between the two releases a deafening explosion that silences everything inside the crimson barrier.
Crack… crack…
Numerous cracks appear in the surrounding space as the prison dimension slowly starts to fall apart since the core holding it together is extracted.
The collision force of the two attacks utterly demolishes the pocket dimension from within, albeit offsetting the aftermath of the explosion as its cost. It collapses on itself into a singularity and disappears entirely while mending the void left behind.
'This must be one of the contingencies of the creator of this dimension.'
Izuna gravely stares at the collapsed space.
'If I was trapped within this space while it was collapsing, even a single atom won't be left of my body.'
Izuna turns his attention toward the giant serpent.
'But this snake…'
There are several heavy wounds on the serpent's body. Most of its scales have fallen off even revealing bones in some places. A dark violet light covers the wounds as it heals them slowly.
'This snake sure has some tenacity. If not, how could it have survived while being sealed here for eons? However, the injuries caused by the collapse of a chaotic void can't be treated so easily.'
Genryū reminds Izuna.
'Do you feel any brotherhood with this dragon since you are also a dragon?'
Izuna mentally asks Genryū while withdrawing Ama no Hoko to prepare for the next week.
'I have nothing but disgust for such a creature. I am a pure being formed by the virtues of a world, while this serpent is the personification of misery and anguish. There is no comparison at all.'
Genryū shakes his head in disdain.
'If I was in my prime, dealing with this lowly snake would be a piece of cake.'
Genryū raises his head like a prideful swan while looking at the Abyss centurion like roadside trash.
Izuna rolls his eyes at Genryū's remark.
'As if I would believe you.'
The Susanoo holds the Ama no Hoko in front of its chest.
Fwish… Fwish…
Several totem marking spreads across his body. Nine magatamas form a necklace around Susanoo's neck while a cyan cloak made of nature energy shrouds its back.
White lightning crackles through the entire Susanoo as its size slowly increases to match the size of the giant serpent.
The Susanoo in its current state easily overshadows the nearby mountains and hills. Its size is comparable to Hagoromo's Susanoo in his fight against the ten-tails.
Swirl…
The Susanoo twirls the Ama no Hoko in its hand and aims it toward the serpent demon.
-----------------------
Outside the barrier,
Argh…
Shisui and Itachi are sent flying out of the barrier, which completely closes itself after spitting them out.
Both of them dispel their Susanoo and jump on the ground with Kakashi and Might Guy.
"Damn that Izuna!" Kakashi's right eye turns red in anger.
"It's the rebellious phase of his youth!" The guy shakes his head.
"Shut up!"
Kakashi and Shisui shout at him at the same time.
Swoosh… swoosh…
Asuma, Kurenai, and Konoha 12 members flicker towards them.
"What's the situation, Kakashi-sensei?" Sasuke asks Kakashi.
"Where is Izuna Nii-san? I thought I heard his voice when I passed out." Naruto looks around.
Sigh… sigh…
Kakashi helplessly rubs his forehead.
"If you are asking me, then whom should I ask?" He makes a long face.
Fwoosh… Fwoosh…
Minato, Kushina, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Mei, Roen, Ayaka, Hanabi, and Yakumo arrives at the same time.
All of them turn their eyes toward Kakashi with threatening gazes.
Gulp…
Kakashi gulps his saliva.
"KAKASHI HATAKE! Report the situation immediately."
Three threatening voices ring in Kakashi's ears at the same time as Tsunade, Kushina, and Mei glare at him with a piercing gaze.
'Damn you, Izuna! Even if you won't die, after this is over; I will murder you with my own hands.'
