Chapter 540 Why does something feel off?
boom!!
In the rush, Killer Bee only had time to cross his arms and hold them firmly in front of him, gathering more chakra into his arms for defense.
Kim's fist slammed hard into Killer Bee's crossed arms.
Click! Click!
The cracking sound of bones breaking exploded almost simultaneously with the sound of the impact.
Killer Bee's seemingly indestructible tailed beast cloaks on his arms shattered inch by inch, and his arms twisted and broke under that immense force.
An unimaginable, terrifying force blasted into his chest through his arms.
"Pfft!" Killer Bee spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body turning into a streak of light as he flew backward.
While Killer Bee was still in mid-air, purple lightning flashed past his side.
——God chases.
Jin's imposing figure appeared out of thin air behind Killer Bee, who was flying backwards, as if by teleportation.
"He looks like a clumsy, power-type, but this speed—could he be a type with explosive power?"
The thought crossed Killer Bee's mind. The intense pain and dizziness made it almost impossible for him to think, but his combat experience made him react instinctively.
The eight crimson tails formed from chakra roared behind him and lashed wildly at Kinshiki, who had suddenly appeared behind him!
Faced with an attack powerful enough to shatter mountain rocks, Jin extended his left hand, fingers spread, aiming at the eight giant tails that were lashing out.
hum!
Condensed crimson chakra transformed into five clusters of flames at the tips of his five fingers, which he neither dodged nor evaded as they were drawn out by the eight giant tails, and instead fiercely grabbed them.
—Galatian hammer.
boom!!
Under the terrifying power of "Garuda," Killer Bee's tail was easily torn apart, exploding into a shower of crimson chakra.
The old force of the punch that shattered his arms and severely damaged his internal organs had not yet dissipated, and an even more fatal blow followed.
Two equally terrifying forces crashed down on Killer Bee's body, one after the other.
"Ugh!!"
Killer Bee finally couldn't hold back and let out a scream, spitting out another mouthful of blood. His vision went black as his tailed beast cloak receded like a tide, and he fell to the ground.
Several sturdy red chains shot out from King's hands, instantly catching up with Killer Bee as he fell, wrapping around his limbs and torso, binding him tightly.
With a flick of his wrist, King tightened the chains, yanked the unconscious Killer Bee over, and held him in his hand.
From the moment King launched his attack to Killer Bee being completely unable to resist and captured, the entire process was as fast as lightning, taking only a few breaths.
The fact that a perfect Jinchuriki was defeated and captured so cleanly and decisively may have been partly due to Killer Bee's recent recovery from serious injuries, but it still chilled the hearts of everyone around.
"Killer Bee!"
In the distance, Huang Tu, who had just unleashed a powerful axe blow and was slightly out of breath, saw Killer Bee captured and his expression changed. He subconsciously took a step forward.
However, he had barely taken a step—
"You should take care of yourself."
A mocking voice rang out, almost right next to his ear.
Huang Tu's hair stood on end instantly. He tried to turn his head and defend himself, but it was too late.
puff!
The tip of the red fishing rod pierced through his chest, spraying a spray of warm blood onto the messy ground in front of him.
As the fishing rod pierced his body, a force similar to a black rod instantly invaded.
The chakra that was originally flowing freely within Huang Tu's body was cut off, suddenly stopped and became chaotic, and could no longer circulate smoothly.
Behind the yellow earth, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki wore a chilling smile, his Byakugan transformed into the red Rinnegan with six tomoe.
Behind him, the spatial portal left by "Yomihirasaka" was slowly closing.
Using his incredibly fast spatial abilities, he instantly traversed the distance, appearing behind Huang Tu and launching an attack that Huang Tu had no time to react to.
This is the fighting style that Urashiki Otsutsuki is used to.
His speed, strength, and combat experience may not be as good as Yishi's.
However, with these two weapons that resemble fishing rods and baskets, plus "Yomihirasaka" and "Time Reversal", he can overcome any obstacle.
That was enough for him to secure a place in the Otsutsuki clan.
After all, even within the Otsutsuki clan, beings like Otsutsuki Isshiki and Momoshiki are extremely rare, and both are outstanding members of their respective factions.
"Heh." Pu Shi chuckled lightly, and with a sudden burst of strength in his wrist, the red fishing rod that pierced through the yellow earth chest flicked upwards and then slammed downwards.
boom!
The burly man's body was pulled off the ground by the immense force from the fishing rod, his feet leaving the ground. He was flung into the air like a rag doll before slamming hard onto the hard ground.
Huang Tu, who was just recovering from serious injuries, suffered another blow and could no longer hold on. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his hands, which were tightly gripping "Ama-no-Murakumo", involuntarily loosened.
The heavy stone axe flew out of his hand and crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
Pu Shi flicked his wrist, pulling the red fishing rod out of Huang Tu's body, drawing out more blood. His gaze was drawn to the giant axe that had slipped from his grasp.
"Oh?"
An interested look appeared on his face. He flicked the red fishing rod in his hand, and the fishing line got tangled in the handle of the "Ama-no-Murakumo" axe. Then he pulled.
The heavy stone axe was pulled into his hand as if it were nothing.
"Is this the 'creation' that Yun-shi created?"
Urashiki weighed the giant axe in one hand, examining it from head to toe, and muttered to himself, "Hmm, I can see a hint of what a 'weapon' might look like."
"However, there seems to be something different—"
He studied it for a moment but didn't find anything particularly noteworthy, or rather, the axe wasn't enough to arouse his interest.
Looking up at Momoshiki, his carefree smile returned, and he called out, "Momoshiki-senpai, could you please clear the area?"
"You probably also think there are a bit too many of these annoying guys, right?"
At this moment, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, carrying the unconscious Killer Bee, returned to Momoshiki's side and stood quietly by his side.
Momoshiki seemed not to hear Urashiki's shouts, and didn't even glance at him, focusing all his attention on Killer Bee.
Momoshiki slowly raised his right hand, which had the Rinnegan open, his five fingers spread wide, and aimed it at Killer Bee.
She sacrificed herself to refine elixirs.
hum!
A powerful suction force suddenly erupted, and Killer Bee's body trembled violently. Even in his unconscious state, a look of pain appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, the massive and violent Eight-Tails chakra surged out of Killer Bee's body like a flood bursting its banks, continuously flowing into Momoshiki's palm.
"Um?"
Momoshiki, who had been calm and collected, suddenly brightened up after sensing the quantity and quality of this chakra.
"That's interesting."
He watched the chakra gather and muttered to himself, "It seems this planet has more value as a nursery than I expected."
It's only a portion of the God Tree's chakra that's dispersed, yet it already possesses such quality and quantity. If it were the complete God Tree, the chakra fruit it produced would be...
Thinking of this, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's eyes flickered slightly as he forcibly suppressed the throbbing and greed in his heart.
No wonder————
No wonder Kaguya, that woman, would betray her clan to try and take this place for herself; no wonder she had such audacity.
If one were to devour the chakra fruit that grows on this planet, it might truly allow one to leap forward in power and rise to the top ranks of the Otsutsuki clan.
At the same time, under Momoshiki Otsutsuki's control, the chakra extracted from Killer Bee's body was compressed and refined in his palm, its volume becoming smaller and smaller.
In just a few breaths, the Eight-Tails' chakra had been completely drained.
At this moment, Killer Bee seemed to have been drained of all his energy. His head drooped, his skin was ashen, and his breath was as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
Momoshiki looked at the dozens of perfectly round pills emitting a dark red light in his outstretched palm and nodded.
"Very good," he said with satisfaction, then flicked his fingers and put the pills into his sleeve.
The whole process was smooth and effortless, without any intention of consulting Otsutsuki Isshiki's opinion or even glancing at him.
The one-style stance, which was suspended to the side, did not care at all.
His approach was completely different from Momoshiki's.
Ichishiki places more emphasis on honing his own strength. Even now, in his "weapon" form, he mainly relies on his own strength and the Black Eyes in battle.
It only needs to absorb a small amount of chakra from the outside to maintain high-intensity combat.
Not to mention, he actually has a ten-tailed juvenile of his own as a reserve and trump card for further development.
In contrast, Momoshiki relies more on external objects like "tan".
Although his abilities are incredibly powerful and produce immediate results, he neglects to develop his own abilities, which means that each time he uses them at full power, he needs to consume "dan" (energy).
Their fighting styles and methods of acquiring power correspond precisely to the two ideological factions that are subtly emerging within the Otsutsuki clan.
The "orthodox" faction focuses on self-development and adaptation, while the "pragmatic" faction emphasizes utilizing external resources to quickly enhance their strength.
Differences in philosophies, coupled with differences in personality and style of doing things.
This meant that although Momoshiki and Isshiki maintained a cooperative relationship as members of the same clan on the surface, they did not really respect each other.
Isshiki was indifferent to Momoshiki's act of secretly taking the spoils of war, and only looked at the places where Hyuga Kumokawa and others had been nailed and severely injured.
However, apart from a few corpses that had long since died, the figures of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Hyuga Kumokawa had vanished.
He couldn't even find a trace of how they broke free or escaped; it was as if they had vanished into thin air right under his nose.
"Did they escape into there?" Itsuki looked at the bottomless, enormous rift and frowned slightly.
"Despite such injuries, he still had the strength to use that 'omnipotent' ability—"
The reason he never personally approached Hinata Kumokawa to deliver the final blow was that he only observed from a distance when the opponent was seriously injured and on the verge of death.
It was precisely out of fear of Hinata Kumokawa's seemingly "omnipotent" abilities.
He had personally experienced that eerie power that could subtly alter perceptions, and knew all too well how difficult it was to guard against.
They worried that if they approached rashly, they might be affected by that strange ability again without even realizing it, or even have their perceptions rewritten.
In retrospect, his vigilance was not unfounded.
As expected, that "device" used that troublesome power and escaped along with the other two seriously injured people.
Just as Isshiki was pondering whether to send Nagato or even Urashiki to test the waters again—
"alright."
Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, who was hovering on the other side, suddenly spoke, looking down at the group of Allied Shinobi below who were in a state of panic and leaderlessness.
"Now, tell me, where are the other Jinchūriki?"
However, he had not finished speaking.
Kinshiki Otsutsuki, who had been standing behind Momoshiki, suddenly raised his head and stared intently at the distant sky, in the direction from which Hyuga Kumokawa had fallen.
"This aura—" Kinshiki's tone turned slightly somber, "Lord Momoshiki, it's the Ten-Tails!"
Upon hearing this, Tao raised an eyebrow and turned to look in the direction Jin was looking.
Rumble!
It could be seen near the distant horizon.
A crimson "meteor," trailing a long fiery tail, was tearing through the sky at an alarming speed, hurtling towards their battlefield.
Where the "meteor" passed, the clouds were violently torn apart, and the air emitted a shrill whistle.
Even though they were far apart, a violent and ferocious aura had already swept across the entire battlefield.
"Is that the Ten-Tails?"
Momoshiki stared intently at the crimson streak that ripped through the sky, his brow furrowing. "Something's not right. Someone's wielding the Ten-Tails' power?"
"Jin Shi, go and bring him to me."
"Yes, Lord Momoshiki." Kinshiki responded in a deep voice without any hesitation, and his whole body shot towards the crimson meteor like a cannonball.
However, as the distance rapidly closed, a solemn expression gradually appeared on Jin Shi's usually serious face, and alarm bells began to ring wildly in his mind.
too fast!
This falling speed is definitely not normal!
Moreover, as the distance shortened, the violent aura belonging to the Ten-Tails became fainter and fainter, while another, more subtle yet dangerous aura became clearer and clearer.
Just as this thought arose in Jin Shi's mind, the shooting star was already close at hand and visible to the naked eye.
Jin finally saw it clearly.
That wasn't a person at all.
It was a human whose entire body was engulfed in crimson flames and whose eyes were white, stepping on what he perceived as the "Ten-Tails".
It burned due to friction with the atmosphere.
"No! We can't answer!"
Jin's pupils contracted, and he instantly realized that this was something he couldn't intercept head-on. Without hesitation, he flashed away and disappeared from the path that the meteor was bound to take.
The moment it left its original position, the "meteor" streaked across the sky and crashed heavily onto the ground below.
boom!!
At the point of impact, the earth trembled and bulged violently, with dense, spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.
A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, rising straight up and transforming into a ring of air waves that swept out in all directions.
The terrifying power pulverized everything in its path, from hard rocks and thick trees to scattered corpses, into dust the instant it touched them.
Sensing the aura emanating from the smoke and dust, Momoshiki's brow twitched involuntarily.
Something feels off.
Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield's edge, Hyuga Neji's vision suddenly blurred—
[There will be a free bonus chapter from May 15th to June 15th. May is also the end of the series, so this month's bonus chapter will be released on the 15th. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to the readers who voted, because this time it's free and doesn't require monthly passes.]
