Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Might Guy!!!
Chapter 460: Might Guy!!!
Inexperienced in battle, Kaguya heeded Black Zetsu's advice.
She unleashed an immense amount of chakra, enveloping all living things within a hundred-meter radius.
The place where Naruto and the others stood was completely overwhelmed by the strong spatial suction.
By the time they regained their senses, they found themselves in an unfamiliar world.
Massive glaciers filled their vision, and a bitterly cold wind swept through, draining the surrounding warmth.
Itachi was the first to activate Susanoo, protecting everyone around him from a possible sneak attack during the spatial transfer by Kaguya.
Sensing Kaguya's chakra presence, Itachi remained vigilant while checking the status of his teammates.
Shisui, Naruto, Guy...
Sasuke?!!
Itachi had expected this but didn't panic; instead, he began strategizing.
When Sasuke had teleported to Naruto's side earlier, Itachi had guessed that Sasuke had awakened a space-time jutsu similar to Kamui.
Based on Kakashi-senpai and Haneda-san's research on space-time jutsu, any traversal leaves traces.
If Sasuke could locate the remnants of the space-time energy, he might be able to use it to return!
The only issue was ensuring Sasuke could find these traces successfully!
Itachi instinctively looked at Shisui, and Shisui met his gaze. They nodded in silent agreement.
Exactly!
They needed to buy time to allow Sasuke and Naruto to regroup!
Itachi instructed, "Naruto, stay behind us and be ready to fight. The key to this battle is ensuring you aren't taken out and that Sasuke returns!"
Naruto was reluctant to hide in the back, but the circumstances forced him to comply with Itachi's orders.
If something happened to him, the fusion of Yin and Yang powers would be lost, potentially leading to the world's downfall!
Even Haneda-san might not be able to salvage the situation!!
Naruto could only agree begrudgingly: "Fine, alright..."
Finally, Guy saw his chance to act and eagerly declared:
"Yosh! Looks like it's time for Konoha's proud Blue Beast to make his entrance!!"
"Guy-senpai, you are also crucial to this war's outcome. I apologize for the inconvenience," Itachi said.
Unfortunately, Guy was interrupted again, leaving him visibly deflated...
Time waited for no one. As Itachi was making arrangements, Kaguya had already recovered a significant amount of chakra.
She launched her offensive!
Unlike her approach with Naruto and Sasuke, against Itachi and Shisui, she immediately unleashed the deadly All-Killing Ash Bones!
Crack!
Itachi's fully formed Susanoo was instantly shattered upon contact with the All-Killing Ash Bones.
Even the combined Susanoo of Itachi and Shisui crumbled before this terrifying attack!!!
As he was sent flying, Itachi raised the Yata Mirror to block the fatal All-Killing Ash Bones.
Meanwhile, Shisui seized the opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami, aiming to disrupt Kaguya's combat awareness.
But as the progenitor of chakra, Kaguya was nearly immune to genjutsu!
In just an instant, Kaguya, harnessing the power of nature, launched another assault!
Massive glaciers surged, causing avalanches that swept across the land from every direction!
Gigantic icebergs also sprouted from the ground, threatening to entrap Itachi and Shisui!
Seeing this, Naruto quickly extended his giant chakra arms formed from Kurama's chakra, attempting to break through.
Just as he arrived, black flames erupted!
"Amaterasu!!!"
In an instant, the icebergs melted, leaving Itachi and Shisui unharmed!
"Thanks, Shisui," Itachi said.
Shisui nodded slightly in response.
He specialized in genjutsu, but against Kaguya, it was nearly ineffective, or rather, completely useless.
As the "expendable" member, the task of expending chakra to defend naturally fell to him.
Shisui clapped his hands together, and as his palms met, countless vines sprouted from beneath the glaciers.
They formed a large cage, enclosing the surroundings just moments before the avalanche struck!
Rumble!
The avalanche crashed against the cage, producing a deafening roar.
When it finally ended, the cage was entirely buried under snow.
But it remained intact!
Kaguya frowned, sensing something was amiss.
These scattered chakra sources, if one overlooked their quality, were not much weaker than Indra and Asura.
But her body hadn't fully recovered yet, and Madara's consciousness within her continued to resist, preventing her from using her full strength.
She could only resort to the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack again, shattering the cage and launching punch after punch at Itachi's Yata Mirror.
Itachi gritted his teeth, enduring Kaguya's onslaught, despite Naruto constantly urging him from the sidelines. He refused to let Naruto join the fray.
It seemed Kaguya's patience had worn thin, or perhaps the external pressures from Sasuke and Haneda forced her hand, making her more urgent.
Kaguya activated Amenominaka once more, aiming to send away the troublesome Itachi and Shisui.
This way, only Naruto would remain in this world!
Seeing the spatial rift appear, a hint of panic flashed in Itachi's eyes. But when the rift finally opened, his lips curled into a faint smile.
The plan had succeeded!
His strategy was indeed to buy time.
But he had deliberately left out a few details to lower Kaguya's guard.
According to Haneda-san and Kakashi-senpai's research on space-time jutsu:
To return from another dimension, one either had to find residual space-time energy or create a new opportunity!
And Kaguya's use of Amenominaka, just like last time, would undoubtedly trigger spatial fluctuations.
And as someone transported to another world, Sasuke might sense these fluctuations and find a way back!
Kaguya, thinking Itachi was merely stalling, had overlooked this point!
As Itachi and Shisui vanished, Guy, now Naruto's only remaining ally, stepped forward without hesitation!
"Yosh! Finally, finally, it's time for Konoha's proud Blue Beast to make his entrance!!!"
As Guy gave Naruto a thumbs-up and flashed his white teeth, his expression suddenly stiffened:
"Na-Nani?!!"
Just as Guy prepared to open the Death Gate, Sasuke abruptly reappeared on the battlefield, landing beside Kaguya.
"Have you heard of this technique? Substitution Slash is inescapable!"
Sasuke's cold voice reached Kaguya's ears as she glanced sideways.
She barely caught sight of the 80-meter-long sword before it struck!
Kaguya didn't have time to react and was cleaved in half!!!
Meanwhile, Guy, undeterred, activated the Death Gate, ready to sacrifice his life to create an opportunity for Naruto!
Although Sasuke had disrupted his rhythm, he had brought the best chance Guy had seen!
"Death's Door! Open!!!"
"The Eighth Gate of the Eight Inner Gates Formation, Death Gate, open!!!"
A blue steam began to emanate from Guy's body, gradually turning crimson!
His aura intensified, making the air around him tremble with a deep resonance.
Guy turned to give Naruto a thumbs-up: "Remember to save me, thanks."
With those words, he burned his life force without hesitation, gathering power.
When his strength reached its peak, he transformed into a true beast, a force as overwhelming as a dragon.
He unleashed the final, devastating kick of the Eight Inner Gates Formation, charging with unstoppable resolve.
"Night Guy!!!"
