Naruto decided to beat Nobuki at his own game and take the opportunity to break through Mushoku's defense.
Naruto deliberately frowned, showing a hesitant expression as if struggling with whether to take the chance to attack, acting the part perfectly.
He suddenly exerted force with his feet, golden Chakra exploding beneath them as he shot toward Mushoku, with the Truth-Seeking Orbs following closely and rotating rapidly at his side to form a defensive stance, their bodies emitting a crisp clinking sound.
On his way forward, he deliberately left a flaw, his left shoulder dipping slightly as if his footing was unstable, luring Mushoku to strike.
His right hand condensed golden Chakra, the Chakra on it spinning wildly, seemingly about to strike Mushoku's chest. At the same time, he deliberately slowed his seal-forming speed to make Mushoku believe he had taken the bait.
A gleam of success flashed in Mushoku's eyes as his gaunt palm quietly condensed Chakra at his side, the black absorption patterns becoming clearer. His body leaned forward slightly, ready to pounce at any moment, inwardly rejoicing.
'Finally, he took the bait. This Six Paths Level Chakra is mine.'
He waited for Naruto to get close to unleash his strongest Chakra Absorption Technique and plunder all of the boy's Chakra. He even began to fantasize about crushing Naruto's skull after absorbing the Chakra and throwing the brat's corpse to the beasts, a morbid excitement flashing in his eyes.
The grin on his face became more and more distorted, as if victory was already within his grasp.
Just as the distance between the two was less than three meters, Naruto suddenly changed his move. The Chakra beneath his feet exploded in reverse, his figure coming to a sudden halt and creating a golden gust of air. Then, with the help of the Six Paths Chakra, he perfectly avoided Mushoku's hidden palm.
Mushoku's palm brushed past Naruto's golden Chakra cloak, producing a string of small sparks.
Simultaneously, the Truth-Seeking Orbs around him instantly flew to his front, quickly piecing together into a golden barrier flowing with pale-gold Six Paths energy, like a sturdy wall.
Clang!
It blocked the subsequent Chakra impact from Mushoku.
Mushoku's sneak attack failed, his palm striking the golden barrier and being jarred slightly numb, forcing him back half a step. He looked at his reddened palm, his eyes filled with disbelief. The defensive power of this barrier was far beyond his expectations.
Mushoku's expression changed drastically, then turned to fury. "Impossible! You lowly brat! How could you see through my scheme!"
He waved his arms frantically, wanting to activate Time Rewind again, but Naruto gave him no chance.
Naruto's left foot kicked against the space, the aura of his Senjutsu Chakra carrying a purifying might that made Mushoku grow restless and uneasy, as if he had encountered a natural enemy.
"Want to absorb my Chakra? Old man, you've got the wrong person!"
A blazing fighting spirit ignited in Naruto's eyes as he thought to himself, 'Your time secret technique is indeed troublesome, but I've found your weakness. Today, I'm going to break your arrogance.'
"It's time to end this! Your time game stops here!"
Six Paths: Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!
Naruto roared toward the sky, his voice as loud as thunder, echoing throughout the right battlefield.
Senjutsu Chakra and Six Paths energy fused perfectly in his palm, forming a golden energy vortex. The vortex spun continuously, absorbing the surrounding Natural Energy, its power growing stronger and its diameter larger, soon exceeding ten meters.
Under the pressure of the Six Paths: Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, the space let out an overburdened groan, and small cracks quietly appeared.
"Go!"
Naruto violently threw the Rasenshuriken, veins bulging on his arm as he used all his strength. The golden shuriken was like a spinning star, hurtling toward Mushoku with world-destroying might, the space it passed through being compressed and dented.
Mushoku's gaunt body trembled uncontrollably, as if he saw the coming of the Shinigami. He could clearly feel the terrifying energy contained within the Rasenshuriken.
He instinctively wanted to activate Time Rewind, but the surrounding space had long since been sealed.
"This is impossible! How could my time secret technique fail! This is absolutely impossible,! How could I lose to a brat like you!"
"No! I cannot die!"
Mushoku wailed frantically in his heart, completely losing his composure and no longer possessing his previous calmness.
"Block it! Block it!"
But at this moment, his mind was in total chaos. He stared fixedly at the incoming Rasenshuriken, the golden light reflected in his pupils being the omen of death.
BOOOOM!!!
The golden shuriken slammed heavily into the black shield.
Cracks appeared on the surface of the shield at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sound of cracking was incessant, and it then shattered into countless fragments like glass. Before the black Chakra shards could dissipate, they were purified by the energy of the Rasenshuriken.
Without the shield's obstruction, the Rasenshuriken's momentum remained undiminished as it smashed into Mushoku's chest, producing a dull thud.
Poof!
Mushoku's body flipped several times in the air before he barely managed to stabilize himself, the light in his eyes completely dimming.
The backlash from Time Rewind erupted at this moment. His body began to show signs of minor disintegration, and his skin gradually became transparent. His Chakra pathways were shattered inch by inch by the energy of the Rasenshuriken, clearly suffering a fatal injury.
Mushoku struggled to lift his head, his neck turning like a rusted bearing, making a "clacking" sound.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but could only make a "hissing" sound of leaking air. "I actually lost? Lost to a lowly human?!"
He roared hysterically, his pride of thousands of years completely collapsing at this moment.
His body could no longer hold up, falling towards the meteorite belt below, his life or death unknown.
Naruto sighed softly and raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips. In the battle just now, he had also sustained some minor injuries.
He turned to look at Sasuke's battlefield, where Sasuke had already gained the absolute upper hand.
With the addition of the Chakra of the God Tree and the armor, the power of the Lightning God Susanoo continued to climb. The Susanoo's size expanded slightly, and the lightning on its surface became denser.
Five of Titan's six arms had been severed, and two of its three heads had been crushed, leaving only one head still roaring in vain, looking particularly hideous.
Nobuki, who was controlling Titan, had a face as pale as paper, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
"Bastard! This is impossible! How can my Titan be so weak!"
"I am a powerhouse of the Otsutsuki, how can I be suppressed by an insect!"
He had once thought his Titan was invincible, an existence far surpassing Momoshiki, and he had been proud of this for hundreds of years. Every time he went into battle, he could easily crush his opponents with Titan, never imagining there would be such a wretched day.
"The game is over."
Sasuke's declaration, like that of a judge, spread throughout the battlefield.
His Six Tomoe Rinne Sharingan shone brightly, the crimson light like blood-red lanterns, illuminating the surrounding space. It firmly locked onto every movement of Titan, making it impossible to escape.
Amenotejikara was instantly activated, and Sasuke's figure vanished from the spot. The next second, he appeared above Titan's head, looking down at the broken creature with disdain in his eyes.
At the same time, he controlled the Lightning God Susanoo, lightning frantically pouring into the long sword.
"Lightning God Susanoo: Heavenly Meteor!"
Sasuke shouted low, and the long sword, carrying endless lightning energy, slashed towards Titan.
The golden lightning pillar, like an angry lightning dragon, passed through Titan's body without any hindrance. The dragon opened its mouth, frantically devouring Titan's black Chakra, causing the giant to disintegrate even faster.
"Roar!!!"
The Titan emitted a shrill cry of sorrow, filled with pain and unwillingness.
Losing the support of Titan, Nobuki's figure stalled, a mouthful of blood sprayed out, and his face was full of pain.
"No... I am not reconciled! My Titan... my glory..."
Sasuke ignored his lamentation and aimed at the falling Nobuki, preparing to deliver the fatal blow.
Indra's Arrow!
Seirin, Migaki, Murata, Kugen, and Yōjin, the five high council members, suspended themselves in the space and used Shinjutsu to block Indra's Arrow.
"Nobuki and Mushoku won't last long. At this point, there's no need to worry about decorum. Pass down the order. Everyone, follow us and besiege these two brats. Kill them first to weaken the enemy's strength, then deal with the remaining trash."
Seeing this, Shun's figure flashed, appearing beside Sasuke. "I already expected you would go back on your word and attempt a group siege. Do you really think we have no one?"
"Everyone, attack! The advantage is with us!"
The next second, several incomparably powerful auras suddenly erupted.
Madara, Hashirama, Minato... twenty-four queens wearing armors and Shun's children, all flew out.
Madara laughed wildly, activated his Six Paths Perfect Susanoo, and flew over. "Otsutsuki? Just a bunch of clowns!"
Hashirama formed hand seals and shouted lowly, "Six Paths: Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
A thousand-meter wooden giant suddenly appeared, its fists smashing towards the Otsutsuki High Council Members like mountains.
Minato's figure flashed, yellow lightning piercing the space, launching a surprise attack on the weak points of the Otsutsuki camp, the Kunai in his hand flashing with cold light.
The twenty-four queens and children followed closely behind, various Ninjutsu and ninja tools pouring out like a rainstorm, intertwining with the power of Naruto and Sasuke to form an indestructible torrent of attack.
