NOVEL WEB Chapter 180: Chapter 180
Gulp!
Otsutsuki Seitaro could feel it—the sheer, suffocating presence of Uchiha Shin. Fear crept into his heart, an emotion he had long forgotten.
Seitaro had only reached the level of the Six Paths thanks to the power of the Tenseigan, an artificial shortcut to godhood. But Uchiha Shin? He had climbed to that realm step by step, honing his power through countless battles, forging himself into something unstoppable.
The oppressive weight of Shin's chakra was monstrous. The raw, unrestrained force rolling off him was suffocating, a tide of power that dwarfed Seitaro's own. He could feel it pressing down, tangible as gravity.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Thousands of Otsutsuki branch family members marching in neat rows suddenly collapsed to their knees, crushed under Shin's presence alone. Terror twisted their faces as their bodies trembled violently, instinct screaming at them to submit.
Only Otsutsuki Seitaro, bolstered by the power of his Tenseigan, managed to stand firm against the pressure.
But at this moment, Shin had no interest in negotiations.
Defeat. Plunder. That was his way.
"Banshō Ten'in."
Shin raised his hand, and immediately, the battlefield was ripped apart. A gravitational force akin to a black hole seized Seitaro, dragging him forward.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Nineteen chunks of land were uprooted, twisting into a massive wave of stone and debris that surged toward Seitaro.
"Activate the Tenseigan!" Seitaro roared, his eyes blazing with power.
A crushing repulsive force erupted outward, colliding with Shin's gravitational pull. The shockwave between their opposing forces shattered the flying debris into dust, reducing entire slabs of rock to nothing more than fine particles drifting in the air.
Shin narrowed his eyes.
Then, he inhaled deeply.
"Senpō: Scorch Release – Yōton: Yami no Honō."
A torrent of black and purple flames erupted from his mouth, twisting into the form of a massive dragon, its hellish fire roaring hungrily toward Seitaro.
Scorch Release, fused with Yin Release and Senjutsu chakra—this was no ordinary fire. The Yami no Honō didn't just incinerate the body; it devoured the soul. A single touch, and the victim's internal organs and very essence would be burned to ash.
A technique meant to erase someone from existence.
Seitaro's face twisted in alarm.
"No… I can't let that touch me!"
With a flick of his wrist, more than a dozen Truth-Seeking Orbs materialized, shifting shape in an instant to form a massive shield in front of him.
WHOOSH!
The fire dragon crashed against the Truth-Seeking Shield. It failed to break through, but the resulting explosion sent embers flying everywhere—embers that landed on the fallen branch family members behind Seitaro.
The sparks seemed harmless… until one landed on a soldier's skin.
BOOM!
A single ember ignited his body, and in an instant, he was gone—disintegrated. Not even a corpse remained. Every single branch family member who had been touched by the falling embers suffered the same fate.
Jonin or Kage-level—it didn't matter. The Yami no Honō showed no mercy.
Seitaro clenched his fists, his teeth grinding together. He had no time to mourn. No time to save them. His anger boiled over.
"You bastard… YOU DESERVE TO DIE!" he roared.
CRACK!
The ground split apart. Massive stone arms erupted from the earth, followed by a towering head. A monstrous stone colossus—200 meters tall, an avatar of Hamura Otsutsuki—rose to its feet, each step shaking the battlefield.
"Oh? You think you're the only one who can summon a Gundam?" Shin smirked mockingly.
He waved his hand to the side.
"I choose you… Kurama."
In an instant, the Nine-Tails appeared on the battlefield.
Kurama, who had been enjoying a peaceful nap, snapped awake.
"What the hell!?"
His massive eyes darted between Shin, floating in the air radiating Six Paths-level chakra, and Seitaro, who radiated his own terrifying energy.
"This ain't my fight! I'm not going up against that guy!"
Shin cast a sideways glance at him. "I don't need you to fight him. Just deal with that damn statue."
With that, Shin formed a golden sphere in his hand and hurled it at Kurama.
"Susanoo Armor."
As soon as the sphere merged with the Nine-Tails, a titanic skeletal frame of blue chakra enveloped him, solidifying into the fully-armored Susanoo.
"Yo…" Kurama grinned, his tails flicking behind him as he stood to his full height. "Now we're talking."
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The Hamura Colossus charged forward, its fist swinging down like a falling mountain.
Kurama snarled, gripping the Susanoo Blade in his massive claw. With one clean swipe—
SLASH!
The stone giant's arms were severed, crumbling into rubble.
Kurama grinned, following up with a devastating tail strike.
BANG!
The colossal Hamura statue was sent flying across the battlefield like a meteor, Kurama right behind it, preparing to continue their fight.
Seitaro's eyes twitched as he watched his summon get manhandled.
"It's not good to be distracted in battle," Shin whispered.
Seitaro's blood ran cold.
"Rikudō: Mugenkai Yomi."
Four shadows flickered into existence around Shin. Ethereal yet menacing, these clones were only visible to those who wielded Six Paths-level power.
"What… is that?" Seitaro muttered. From his perspective, there were suddenly four more Shin's.
Shin grinned. "Oh? You can see them? Doesn't matter."
With a flick of his fingers—
"Amenotejikara."
Seitaro's body flickered, suddenly swapping places with one of the clones.
Too late to react.
"Senpō: Jiton: Rasengan."
"Hyōton: Reitō Kōten."
"Katon: Yami no Honō."
"Rikudō: Chidori Senbon."
Four simultaneous attacks—Magnet Release Rasengan, Ice Release Freezing Point, Scorch Release Dark Flame, and Six Paths Lightning Senbon—struck Seitaro from four different angles.
Shin's main body followed up, launching his own Truth-Seeking Orb enhanced by Yami no Honō.
BOOM!
Seitaro screamed in pain, his body breaking apart. But he wasn't done.
Burning his remaining chakra, he unleashed his ultimate technique.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
His Truth-Seeking Orbs elongated, fusing into a single, massive golden sword of energy. With a final roar, Seitaro swung it downward at Shin.
The light of the attack cleaved the sky, tore through the moon's outer shell, and sliced deep into the battlefield, splitting the land itself in two.
Shin simply smirked.
"Not bad."
His Sharingan spun, analyzing the incoming attack.
Then, he moved.
The battle was far from over
