Chapter 66: 067 Uchiha Revenge, Turning the Tide
— Sage Art: Goemon!
Originally, this was a combined Sage Technique used by Jiraiya and the Two Great Toad Sages.
Jiraiya provided the oil, Fukasaku used Wind Style, and Shima used Fire Style.
Together, they created a massive burning attack capable of incinerating anything in its path, able to burn a wide area and, in theory, devour all tangible matter.
But now, thanks to Naruto's powerful chakra and teamwork with his Shadow Clones, he can perform this move by himself!
Fwoooosh—!!
The flaming oil, amplified by wind, surged into a massive sea of fire.
It was so powerful it could rival the vast forest created by the Tree World technique stronger even than Uchiha Madara's Great Fire Annihilation!
Boom!
After a long clash between the forest and the flames, both were destroyed in the explosion.
Hot smoke filled the air, blocking everyone's vision.
Tobi said, "He stopped it…"
Obito added, "That's today's Uzumaki Naruto. Even without the Rinnegan, he's on par with Sasuke. If he had it, he might even rival Madara."
"…Speaking of Madara," Clap! Tobi pressed his palms together.
BOOM BOOM BOOM—!
A giant figure began to rise from the earth. As the smoke cleared, Konan stared in shock.
"What… is that?!"
Naruto looked serious. "It's finally here. That's the normal jutsu version of 'True Several Thousand Hands.' Since it doesn't use Senjutsu Chakra, it's just a powered-up version of the Wooden Golem Jutsu, but even so, it can fight evenly with the Perfect Susanoo!"
Konan looked serious. "How are we supposed to fight something like that?"
High above on the head of the giant Senju Buddha, Tobi and Obito stood side by side.
"Well then… let's start with a little appetizer," Obito said.
Suddenly, the five faces on the Buddha's head opened their mouths.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Streams of water, fire, earth, wind, and lightning shot out, five elements fused into one massive elemental attack that rained down like a storm.
Naruto quickly formed a seal. "Nice timing!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four Shadow Clones appeared, each moving into position and performing hand signs alongside him.
—Sage Art: Five-Element Grand Bomb!
Naruto's five-element attack clashed with the incoming blast in mid-air—canceling it out in an explosion of power.
Konan was impressed. "You sure know a lot of jutsu."
Poof!
One Shadow Clone vanished.
Naruto smiled, but inside, he was tense.
"I've mastered nearly every type of ninjutsu in Konoha, except for kekkei genkai and clan secret arts…"
But he knew, the true danger of "True Several Thousand Hands" wasn't just elemental attacks.
Tobi smirked and said, "Alright then… time for the main course."
—Top Transform Buddha!
BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!
The massive wooden Buddha advanced. The countless arms on the round platform behind it stretched outward, forming a dense wall of fists that blotted out the sky.
"It's coming…!" Naruto's eyes narrowed.
"Without the power of the Six Paths, there's almost no way to resist it. But—if you're willing to burn enough chakra…"
—Ninjutsu: Multi Shadow Clone Technique!!
Thousands of Shadow Clones appeared, each using a Massive Rasengan and leaping into the air with the boosted power of Sage Mode to face the incoming wall of fists.
—Sage Art: Massive Rasengan Barrage!
Naruto had used this technique before back when he destroyed Sasuke's Crow Tengu Susanoo in the Iron Kingdom but this time, the number of Shadow Clones was several times greater!
Boom boom boom—!!
The Sage Art Rasengan barrage clashed head-on with the wooden fists from Top Transform Buddha. The sky dimmed, and the earth trembled from the impact.
Bang! Boom! Crack!
Wooden fists shattered one after another, and Shadow Clones vanished just as quickly.
In the end… the fake Buddha was stopped. All of its arms were destroyed.
Naruto's Shadow Clones were gone too. His Sage Chakra had run dry, and his main body exited Sage Mode.
"Huff… huff…" Naruto breathed heavily.
"This is bad… I didn't prepare any Shadow Clones storing Sage Chakra for backup. I wanted to keep my chakra reserves stable for fighting Obito."
Bang!
The oval platform separated from the Buddha's main body, and True Several Thousand Hands re-equipped itself and slowly advanced toward Naruto.
Swish!
Konan stepped forward, shielding Naruto.
Up above, standing atop the wooden Buddha, Tobi crossed his arms and called out playfully,
"Hey, lady, mind if I ask you something?"
Konan glared coldly. "What is it?"
Tobi shrugged. "Mmm… I was just wondering what does it feel like when you have to poop?"
Konan replied with a deadpan expression, "Who knows?"
"Huh?" Tobi said sarcastically. "That's weird… Even pretty girls have to poop, right? Don't they? Where does all the food go?"
Konan's face turned even colder.
Naruto quickly stepped in, "Sister Konan, don't listen to him! He's just a natural-born troublemaker!"
Konan responded calmly, "Of course I won't argue with him…"
But even as she spoke, her hands were forming seals—not for defense, but for attack.
—Summoning: Explosive Talisman Flame Array!
Crash, crash, crash—!!
Thousands of explosive tags spread across the ground, flowing beneath the wooden Buddha.
In just seconds, they had completely covered its massive body!
BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!
A deafening chain of explosions erupted, shaking the battlefield.
Naruto stared in shock. "What did you just do…?!"
Konan lowered her hands. "I summoned one six-thousandth of the explosive tags stored in the Rain Village. No need for any pre-set traps. This is the limit of what I can use at once."
Naruto gulped, trembling a little as he thought: Scary… better never make Konan mad, or I'll be blown to pieces…
BANG!!!
As the smoke cleared, the massive wooden Buddha collapsed, shattered into broken fragments across the battlefield.
Tobi mumbled, "What a violent woman… I just wanted to watch her poop someday… Never mind. I'm not playing anymore."
Then he turned serious. "Uzumaki Naruto… judging by his chakra flow, he's no longer in Sage Mode. If we're going to end this, now's the time…!"
Whoosh!
Naruto turned—just in time to see Obito appear behind him!
….
Meanwhile, ten kilometers away in a hidden location…
Orochimaru extracted a drop of blood from a snake's fang.
"Now it's your turn, Hidan…"
Slurp~!
Hidan licked the blood, and his body turned pitch-black with a metallic shine. He opened his shirt, revealing his chest, dipped his foot in his own blood, and began drawing a ritual circle on the ground.
"I offer everything I have to the great Lord Jashin, And now, I shall deliver divine punishment upon the heretics!!"
Hidan shouted fanatically, raised his iron spike—and stabbed it straight into his own chest!
Snap…!
The sudden jolt of intense pain made Obito freeze mid-move. His eyes widened, and cold sweat ran down his face.
Splatter—!
Blood soaked through the front of his Akatsuki cloak.
His Sharingan, bloodshot and shaking, reflected pure disbelief.
"This… this technique…!"
Naruto's voice was calm but firm.
"Death by Blood. You Akatsuki used this to kill the Fire Temple monk Chiriku… and Sarutobi Asuma of Konoha. Especially Asuma, he was a respected elder. It's only fair that I return the favor… using your own methods."
Then Naruto added softly, "Don't worry, Obito. I already told Hidan to avoid the vital organs. Because…"
Naruto turned around and reached for his mask.
No! Obito panicked. He's going to use that eye, his hidden right eye!
Obito's pupils shrank. In a flash, he lifted his hand and snapped off the left side of his mask, revealing another eye, a hidden Sharingan!
Sizzle…! Crackle…!
At that moment, both Naruto's right eye and Obito's left eye began to glow.
—Kotoamatsukami!
—IZANAGI!
