Chapter 506 Sasuke's Shock, Susanoo Cuts Tailed Beast Ball!
Sasuke stood on the edge of the cliff amidst howling winds, sandstorms, and misty air, his face grave and his body trembling slightly from the shock.
In his vision, the world seemed to be divided in two.
On one side stood a colossal orange-red beast, over fifty meters tall, resembling a moving small mountain, radiating an aura of endless savagery and hatred—the Power-Tailed Fox.
The oppressive aura emanating from that massive body, the destructive desire burning in its scarlet vertical pupils, and the nine wildly dancing tails behind it were enough to terrify any ninja with a resolute mind.
This is the legendary natural disaster capable of destroying a country, Konoha's top secret, and the monster imprisoned within Naruto's body.
Just by looking directly at it, Sasuke felt his soul tremble before that pure malice and power.
However, what attracted his attention even more at this moment was the even more incredible being beside him.
The dark red color seemed to be composed of solidified magma and deep shadows, as majestic as a real mountain range!
Its height, roughly estimated, probably exceeds three hundred meters!
It's five or six times the size of the Nine-Tailed Fox next to it!
Just standing there, it felt as if your head was about to pierce through the low-hanging clouds, casting a shadow that could cover half of the coastal cliffs!
Its entire body is covered in dark red fur, and beneath the fur, the bulging muscle lines resemble a mountain range, containing a terrifying power capable of shaking the earth.
This is—the power within Menma?!
Mianma calls it "Xiao Jiu"?
Could it be—this is also a Tailed Beast?
But aren't there only nine tailed beasts?
And the strongest one is the Nine-Tails—where did the tenth one come from?
It's still that big?!
Sasuke's brain was briefly confused by the information overload. He stared blankly as the dark red ten-tailed fox lowered its head and, with its burning dark red vertical pupils, looked with great interest at the "petite" orange-red nine-tailed fox beside it. A playful chuckle escaped its throat as it hissed, "Yo~ I'll play with you~"
The voice carried a light tone that was completely at odds with its terrifying appearance, as if a lonely little girl had finally found a long-lost playmate.
But this tone of voice sounded so different to Sasuke.
The Nine-Tails, who had just escaped its confinement and was filled with rage and destructive desire, suddenly contracted its crazed crimson vertical pupils the moment it saw Xiao Jiu's full appearance!
A sense of astonishment and doubt originating from the very source of chakra, along with an uncontrollable feeling of fear, instantly washed away the anger in its chest like a tidal wave.
Tailed beasts are special life forms formed from chakra, and strictly speaking, they do not have a clear "gender".
Their appearance and voice are more a reflection of their own chakra characteristics and will at the time of their initial birth.
The Nine-Tails' voice has always been a male roar full of ferocity.
But at this moment, the dark red ten-tailed fox opposite them was speaking in a girl's voice with a sweet, delicate ending, which made the Nine-Tailed Fox feel extremely strange and—
Nausea!
It's as if I'm witnessing some kind of twisted, perverse sense of humor; a clumsy imitation!
Especially the familiar attitude in that voice almost made its fur stand on end!
But at this moment, what made its soul tremble the most was not the voice, but the chakra aura emanating from the other party!
It was a power that was infinitely close to—or even had, to some extent, touched upon—the ultimate power that symbolized the origin and destruction of chakra, the source of all the tailed beasts in the legend!
Ten-tailed!
Despite their different forms, the sheer amount of chakra that the opponent possessed, which even made its own heart tremble, along with the chaos contained within it, instilled fear in the Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast!
What on earth is this thing?!
How can it be so big?!
Ten more tails?!
This is impossible!
However, before Nine-Tailed Fox could recover from the series of shocks, the dark red ten-tailed fox opposite her seemed to have become quite playful.
Whoosh—!
Without warning, that massive body, as tall as a mountain and three hundred meters high, displayed an agility and speed completely disproportionate to its size!
Like a streak of dark red lightning, Xiao Jiu's enormous head lunged forward, its gaping maw, filled with fangs and radiating a scorching heat, snapping at the still somewhat stunned Nine-Tailed Fox.
"!!" Nine-Tails was shocked. Despite the huge difference in size, the instinct and pride of a tailed beast made it impossible for it to sit idly by and wait for its death!
It roared and stomped its limbs on the ground, trying to leap to the side and back. At the same time, its nine giant tails swept out like steel whips, stirring up sand and stones, and fiercely lashed at Xiao Jiu's outstretched head!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
A series of thunderous impacts rang out!
Nine massive, orange-red tails lashed out in succession at the dark red head and neck, exploding into bursts of dazzling chakra sparks!
Each strike was enough to easily flatten a small mountain, but when it landed on Xiao Jiu's neck and cheeks covered with dark red fur, it was as if it were just a tickle, and it couldn't even make it turn its head slightly!
It only caused the dark red fur to ripple slightly.
Little Nine's pounce and bite grazed right past Nine-Tailed Fox's shoulder and neck. With its huge head and neck, it easily knocked the "petite" Nine-Tailed Fox to the ground like a naughty child knocking down building blocks!
Rumble—!!!
The earth is shaking!
With overwhelming force and weight, Xiao Jiu slammed the massive, fifty-meter-tall Nine-Tailed Fox into the soft sand at the edge of the cliff!
It created a huge crater with a diameter of over 100 meters!
Countless grains of sand and stones shot into the sky like a fountain, mingling with the Nine-Tailed Fox's roar of shock and rage, creating an extremely chaotic scene.
"Roar! Damn it! You bastard! Die!!!"
Being tackled in such a humiliating manner enraged Kurama!
Fear was replaced by a more intense rage!
It has nine tails!
It's the strongest tailed beast!
How could we possibly endure such a humiliation?!
He was pounced on like a toy by a strange-looking big fox that appeared out of nowhere!
The moment it fell to the ground, the Nine-Tails suddenly opened its blood-red maw, and a point of light, as black as ink but containing destructive chakra energy, suddenly lit up and began to spin and expand wildly at an astonishing speed!
The raging chakra converged on that one point like rivers flowing into the sea, and the air was frantically pulled and distorted!
Tailed Beast Ball!
The Tailed Beasts' strongest attack is a terrifying technique that compresses and releases a massive amount of chakra at a Yin-Yang ratio of 2:8, creating a map-level destruction effect!
A jet-black ball of light rapidly formed in the mouth of the Nine-Tailed Fox, its diameter exceeding ten meters in the blink of an eye. It emitted an ominous aura that sent chills down one's spine, and aimed precisely at the vital points of the Nine-Tailed Fox's chest and abdomen, which were pressing down on it at almost zero distance!
If this blow lands, even with the opponent's size, it will definitely not be pleasant!
However, facing the Tailed Beast Ball that was about to erupt at close range, Xiao Jiu's burning dark red vertical pupils showed no panic at all, but instead flashed a more intense joy.
Instead of dodging, it opened its own ferocious maw, large enough to swallow a mountain.
Om-!
The same pitch-black but much larger, nearly twenty meters in diameter, dark red Super Tailed Beast Ball, which rotated faster and emitted destructive waves several times stronger, condensed in Xiao Jiu's mouth almost in the blink of an eye!
Dark red chakra, like boiling magma, clung to the surface of the pitch-black energy sphere, adding to its eerie and terrifying aura.
Both sides moved with lightning speed.
"roar!"
"Aww~!"
A furious roar and a laughing scream rang out almost simultaneously!
call out-!!
call out-!!!
Two Tailed Beast Balls, one large and one small, each containing destructive power, shot out from two gaping maws like two black death stars, colliding violently in mid-air at almost zero distance!
At the moment of impact, time seemed to freeze for a split second.
Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan stared intently at the point of contact between the two colliding Tailed Beast Balls.
With his keen eye, he could see that breathtaking scene in the finest detail.
The moment the two Tailed Beast Balls came into contact, they were like two magnets that repelled and attracted each other, resulting in an extremely brief but intense energy erosion, compression, and distortion!
The pitch-black surface rippled violently, and fine arcs of dark red and orange-red electricity leaped and exploded wildly at the junction!
The point of contact erupted with a blinding white light that caused Sasuke to lose his sight!
Immediately following was a piercing buzzing sound that seemed to tear the soul apart, exceeding the limits of human hearing!
That was the mournful cry produced when chakra energy violently collides, annihilates, and tries to devour the other!
After a brief collision and compression, the dark red Super Tailed Beast Ball deflected the dark purple Tailed Beast Ball from its center with overwhelming force!
The dark purple Tailed Beast Ball was forcibly altered from its trajectory, like a baseball being flung away by a giant, shooting uncontrollably at an angle towards the distant sea!
The dark red Super Tailed Beast Ball, having consumed a significant amount of its own energy, shrank in size, but its momentum remained undiminished. It also changed its angle slightly and followed closely behind, flying towards the sea!
The whole process, though complex to describe, actually happens in the blink of an eye.
next moment.
boom!!!
First, near the sea surface, in the area hit by the deflected dark purple Tailed Beast Ball, a destructive ball of light with a diameter of over a kilometer, mixed with dark purple and blazing white light, burst open on the sea surface like a supernova explosion!
Endless light and heat were released in an instant, vaporizing the seawater in that area in a fraction of a second!
A huge bowl-shaped depression with a diameter of over a thousand meters appeared on the sea surface!
The shockwave swept across dozens of miles of sea in an instant, tearing apart the clouds in the sky and creating chaos between the sea and the sky!
Followed by.
Boom! ...
On the other side, further out at sea, a dark red Super Tailed Beast Ball exploded!
Another, even larger, dark red lotus of destruction bloomed on the sea!
The sea surface was blasted into a huge crater with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers!
The seawater around the depression was pushed aside by terrifying pressure, forming a ring-shaped tsunami hundreds of meters high, like a moving mountain range, and rushed wildly in all directions!
The even more violent dark red chakra energy intertwined, collided, and annihilated with the previously stirred-up seawater, water vapor, and shockwaves!
The entire sea area seemed to have turned into a boiling energy furnace, with hundreds of millions of tons of seawater being evaporated and thrown into the air, and scalding rain falling from the sky!
In the core area of the explosion, the space itself displayed distorted patterns like shattered glass, and the shock lingered for a long time!
Two destructive mushroom clouds slowly rose between the sea and the sky, connecting heaven and earth, as if the giant pillars supporting the world had collapsed!
The deafening explosion, like a belated thunderclap, rolled in continuously, causing Sasuke's eardrums to ache and his internal organs to feel as if they were about to be shattered!
The cliff beneath our feet shook violently, more boulders collapsed, and seawater poured in, as if the end of the world had arrived!
"puff--!"
Sasuke suddenly spat out a small mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen.
The shockwave from the explosion of those two Tailed Beast Balls on the sea surface, the scorching steam and the turbulent flow of chakra that swept in, sent him flying backward like a leaf in a storm!
He desperately concentrated his chakra in his feet, pinning them firmly to the rocks to avoid being blown off the cliff. However, his chest was churning with blood and qi, his internal organs felt displaced, and his vision blurred.
"This...this is...the power of a tailed beast?!"
"No, this is probably not even the full strength!"
"It was merely the aftershocks of the exchange of fire—"
Sasuke was deeply shocked.
Faced with such devastating power, what meaning do individual ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu have?
Jonin?
film?
It's probably just a tiny speck of dust in this explosion, isn't it?
While Sasuke was reeling from the aftershocks of the explosion and his mind was reeling, the two perpetrators in the distance seemed completely unconcerned about the devastation they had caused.
Seeing its strongest Tailed Beast Ball being easily blasted away and causing such a terrifying explosion, Kurama's shock and anger reached their peak.
But at the same time, a fear of facing an insurmountable natural enemy, like a cold tide, began to overwhelm its reason.
Without further hesitation, its massive body suddenly spun around, its four paws stomping hard on the sea surface, creating four huge white splashes. Without looking back, it fled madly towards the sea far from the coast!
It must keep its distance!
We have to find a way!
This guy—he's terrifying!
"Hey~ Don't run away~ Let's play a little longer~" Xiao Jiu's playful girl voice rang out again.
The next moment, the dark red mountain-like figure moved slightly, its four claws also stepping on the sea surface, emitting a muffled thunderous roar. Its massive body displayed a speed completely disproportionate to its size, creating a water wall a hundred meters high, and chasing after the fleeing Nine-Tailed Fox.
An absurd and terrifying "chase game" unfolds on the vast ocean.
Nine-Tails fled desperately ahead, glancing back in terror every now and then. Seeing the dark red shadow getting closer and closer, it would be terrified and hastily spit out dark purple Tailed Beast Balls of varying sizes in an attempt to stop it.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu leisurely chased after him, like a cat playing with a mouse, occasionally spitting out dark red Tailed Beast Balls to deflect or detonate the Tailed Beast Balls shot by Jiuwei in mid-air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The deafening explosions continued incessantly, echoing across the vast sea!
One after another, dark purple or dark red Tailed Beast Balls exploded like free fireworks in the sea between the two giant beasts, and occasionally even veered off course and flew towards the distant coastline!
Each Tailed Beast Ball explosion leaves a terrifying crater hundreds or thousands of meters in diameter on the sea surface, evaporating a massive amount of seawater and creating huge tsunamis and shockwaves.
The entire sea area was ravaged and left in ruins, as if it had been bombarded by countless meteorites. It was full of craters and the waves were extremely turbulent. The seawater, mixed with violent chakra and high-temperature steam, became scalding hot and deadly. Countless fish died tragically and gradually floated on the surface of the sea.
Some of the Tailed Beast Balls that went astray landed on distant coastlines or the edges of nearby deserts.
Boom! ...
A dark purple Tailed Beast Ball landed diagonally on a desert landscape several kilometers away from the cliff where Sasuke was.
In an instant, a giant circular crater, more than two thousand meters in diameter and hundreds of meters deep, appeared in the golden desert!
Countless grains of yellow sand were instantly melted into glassy crystals by the high temperature, and then shattered by the shock wave. Mixed with the vaporized rocks, they formed a mushroom cloud mixed with dark purple light and dust, which slowly rose into the air.
The raging sandstorm and shockwaves spread wildly in all directions like a ring of death, leaving everything in their wake razed to the ground and turned into scorched earth!
boom-!!!
Another small, dark purple Tailed Beast Ball landed on the other side, closer to the inland desert region, blasting out a smaller but still terrifying crater and erasing a stretch of sand dunes directly from the map.
The sky collapsed and the earth cracked; the sun and moon lost their light.
The desert is wailing, the ocean is boiling.
This is no longer a battle; these are two walking natural disasters, recklessly displaying their godlike power capable of rewriting the landscape.
Sasuke stood on the edge of the cliff, like a lone boat in a raging sea, small and helpless, only able to watch helplessly as this world-destroying scene unfolded before his eyes.
His three-tomoe Sharingan now only showed a blank emptiness and powerlessness after being crushed by absolute power.
So this is what Menma meant by "special training"?
So this is the terrifying power sealed within Naruto?
How can I become stronger to reach or even surpass Naruto?!
At this moment, Sasuke felt a sense of confusion he had never experienced before.
Just as Sasuke lost his composure, *whoosh!*
A sharp, piercing whistle, approaching from afar at a terrifying speed far exceeding the speed of sound, hurtled towards the cliff where he stood. Sasuke suddenly raised his head.
A dark purple Tailed Beast Ball with a diameter of over ten meters was reflected in his pupils!
That was the Nine-Tails' hasty, hasty shot, which, by sheer coincidence, flew straight toward his location!
The Tailed Beast Ball is too fast!
It was so fast that even Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan at its peak couldn't escape its blast radius using the Body Flicker Technique!
Moreover, his mind was in turmoil, his chakra was disordered, and his body was aching from the previous shockwave.
Am I going to die?
This thought flashed through Sasuke's blank mind like lightning.
Will it vaporize instantly, like sand, leaving no trace?
So, I'm still this weak.
So weak—they don't even have the right to watch.
Despair, like the sea, instantly overwhelmed him.
He stared blankly at the dark purple orb of light that represented death, which grew larger and closer in his pupils—
however.
Just when the Tailed Beast Ball was about to wipe Sasuke and the cliff face off from the world!
The scene before Sasuke's eyes suddenly distorted slightly.
A black-haired figure wearing the dark blue high-collared robes of the Uchiha clan appeared in mid-air about ten meters in front of him without warning!
He stood between Sasuke and the dark purple Tailed Beast Ball that was shooting towards him.
"Who is it?"
Sasuke didn't have time to think.
next moment.
Buzz—! ! !
A crimson chakra, brimming with scorching fighting spirit, erupted from the black figure like a volcanic eruption!
The crimson chakra rapidly condensed and took shape as it surged from the surface of the body!
The first thing to appear was a massive, crimson skeletal frame, erected like interlocking ribs, which firmly protected the black figure inside.
Immediately afterwards, muscle-like tissue rapidly grew on the bones, followed by a scarlet chakra armor resembling ancient samurai armor, covering the entire body!
This is not over yet!
Whoosh—!
A pair of enormous wings, made entirely of scarlet chakra, suddenly unfurled from behind the newly formed scarlet skull colossus!
The moment it unfolded, a huge, ancient-looking scabbard was found gripping the claws at its end!
Complete Susanoo!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
From the appearance of the black figure to the rise of the crimson skull, clad in armor and wielding a blade, only a fraction of a second elapsed.
And that deadly dark purple Tailed Beast Ball is already within reach!
Clang—!
A clear, metallic clang resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
All of this seemed to temporarily drown out the roar of the tailed beasts exploding in the distance and the howling of the waves!
The towering red Susanoo, with a giant crimson hand, swiftly grasped the hilt of the sword on its wing and pulled it outward with a sudden jerk!
A giant chakra blade, nearly a hundred meters long and composed entirely of highly condensed red chakra, was fiercely drawn from its sheath!
The moment the giant blade was drawn, a sharp sword intent that could cut through everything and cleave through chaos soared into the sky!
Even the turbulent chakra energy around them and the oppressive feeling of death brought by the Tailed Beast Ball were temporarily pushed back by this pure will to "slash"!
Inside the red Susanoo, the black-haired woman seemed to have finally completed her preparations.
She controlled Susanoo and raised the crimson chakra sword that was a hundred meters long.
The blade points diagonally towards the sky.
then.
cut!
The red Susanoo swung its hundred-meter-long blade heavily down at the oncoming Tailed Beast Ball.
laugh--!
A slight sound.
Then, under Sasuke's Sharingan, which was wide open to the limit, a scene that he would never forget happened.
The crimson chakra blade struck the rapidly approaching dark purple Tailed Beast Ball.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no frenzied clash of energy.
The dark purple Tailed Beast Ball, containing destructive energy, was sliced in two without any resistance, just like butter being cut open, along the path of the scarlet sword light!
Yes, it's divided into two.
The cut was as smooth as a mirror, and one could even see the violent, chaotic, and constantly trying-to-annihilate dark chakra energy flow inside the Tailed Beast Ball.
The two halves of the Tailed Beast Ball remained in their original, cut-off shape. Due to inertia, they grazed the sides of the Crimson Giant and flew diagonally towards the sea and desert further behind.
After flying several hundred meters, the two halves of the Tailed Beast Ball, which had lost their stable structure and energy balance, finally could not be sustained and exploded violently in mid-air.
boom!
boom!
Two muffled explosions resounded on the distant sea and the edge of the desert, raising two smaller mushroom clouds and sending up clouds of sand and water.
While still astonishing, it was far less destructive than the explosive effects of the Tailed Beast Balls launched by the previous two Tailed Beasts.
A knife.
Just one cut.
It severed the Tailed Beast Ball!
The red Susanoo stood like a giant from mythology, proudly on the coastline in front of Sasuke.
Sasuke knelt there, stunned, his mind blank. His three-tomoe Sharingan even momentarily froze due to the shock and the overwhelming amount of information.
The brilliance of that strike, that sharp will that cuts through everything and destroys nothing, is permanently imprinted in the depths of his soul!
Is this—the third power of the kaleidoscope eye?
Susanoo!
At this moment, the two-hundred-meter-tall red Susanoo in front of them, exuding an awe-inspiring and inviolable pressure, began to slowly fade and dissipate, turning into countless scarlet light spots that quickly merged into the air.
The black-haired woman who had been hovering in mid-air landed on the reef in front of Sasuke and slowly turned around.
The sea breeze ruffled her long black hair, revealing a delicate, aloof, and beautiful face, as if sculpted from ice and snow.
She has a pair of scarlet Rinnegan eyes, with several concentric circles in the pupils like ancient tree rings, and six jet-black tomoe evenly inlaid on them, with tiny branches extending from the edges, like beautiful and deadly rose thorns.
Her gaze swept over Sasuke, who was still not fully recovered.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
She is none other than Uchiha Hikaru, the strongest member of the Uchiha clan in the world, as mentioned by Shisui!
Sasuke's heart began to pound wildly at an unprecedented speed.
The three-tomoe Sharingan is filled with awe and longing for the strong, as well as an extreme desire for power!
