In the east, golden sunlight pierced the darkness, and dawn quietly enveloped the earth, bathing it in golden light. With this dawn, the great battle officially began. Various modern artillery pieces that had been deployed earlier removed their camouflage and opened fire, pouring shells into the fog that had expanded to cover an area now encompassing a large city.
The roar was incessant, and the artillery fire illuminated the fog. This sudden attack directly destroyed the enemy's outer defensive positions. The faint screams from within the positions were completely drowned out by the roar of the artillery fire, while many more were blown to pieces before they could even scream, leaving no trace of their bodies.
The artillery fire began relentlessly, and after the first round, various types of artillery began firing in rotation. Apart from stationary artillery, self-propelled artillery, vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, vehicle-mounted howitzers, and tanks began to advance while firing alternately, seemingly intending to bombard the entire area with artillery fire. Behind these tanks and artillery were some large vehicles that looked very similar to rocket launchers, and behind them was another echelon of tank and artillery units. This alternation continued, and such convoys stretched for more than ten miles. Clearly, the entire firepower of the Fox Demon World was concentrated here.
The ninjas hidden in the mist on the opposite side suffered heavy casualties from the bombardment. By the time they recovered, the army of the Fox Demon World had advanced three or four kilometers. As the army advanced, the mist covering the area began to shrink and recede. As the mist receded, the scene that was previously hidden in the mist was revealed to the world.
At this moment, what lay before the world was a scorched earth, devoid of shell craters, and even sparsely scattered limbs. After being saturated with artillery fire, the entire land was covered with loose soil, which buried the shell craters and the broken remains. However, no one who saw this scene dared to deny the devastation. Although there were no corpses strewn across the land or rivers of blood, the loose, fallen soil was a dark reddish-brown, stained with blood.
The ninja army (the term for the army in the Naruto world), which had recovered, did not lack a counterattack. In their view, these cannonballs were not too threatening to them. Even a genin could dodge them with all his might, a chunin could easily dodge them, and some of the weaker cannonballs could not cause them much damage as long as they did not hit them directly.
However, reality showed them how cruel it was. Under the barrage of shells, not to mention Chunin, even Jonin could not completely dodge them. As a result, their first counterattack failed miserably. After losing tens of thousands of ninja soldiers, they had to continue to retreat. And this was only the result on Mo Mo's side. If all the results were counted, the opposing ninja army lost no less than a million soldiers in this one counterattack.
However, that was the end of it. As the ninja army retreated rapidly, the effective damage of the artillery fire decreased quickly. Seeing this, the fox demon commander ordered a reduction in artillery output and continued to advance. The enemy, seeing that the fox demon's artillery fire had weakened, assumed that they were running out of pills and quickly organized another large army to take advantage of the situation and launch a counterattack. However, this time it was mostly Chunin mixed with some Jonin, and no Genin were sent out. This was because although the artillery fire had weakened, it was only relative to what it had just been. If Genin were sent to fight, they would probably lose half of their troops before they even reached the enemy lines. In addition, there would be machine guns and other firepower once they got close, so Genin would be doomed if they charged in. Although they still had a large army, such pointless sacrifices were unnecessary.
Who was the commander of the fox demons? Tu Shan Rongrong, a true old fox. Seeing this situation, how could she miss the opportunity? So she ordered them to ignore them and continue firing, letting them pass. Once they were fully within the range of the artillery, a barrage of cannon fire erupted, mushroom clouds rising into the sky, blotting out the sun. This bombardment annihilated no less than 200,000 ninja soldiers. Although the number of soldiers was much less than before, the results were much more substantial.
Because the vast majority of these were Chunin, with a small number of Jonin, this was far more than the millions of cannon fodder Genin from before. These Chunin and Jonin were already part of the leadership of the ninja army. In other words, that one wave of artillery fire wiped out nearly 200,000 of the enemy's lower-level commanders. That alone would be enough to make the enemy's leaders feel the pinch for a while.
After suffering this loss, the enemy commander stopped probing and began to tighten his defenses, while the fox demon's army continued to advance. After advancing for about ten more miles, the battlefield finally changed.
The ground here is much more solid than before. Even heavy artillery can only leave a crater less than ten meters wide. Ordinary artillery can only blast a crater one or two meters wide. Moreover, patches of light flickered in the mist.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 254 Kaguya Otsutsuki
After the artillery fire roared across this exceptionally solid land, a distinct light, clearly different from the artillery fire, flashed through the mist. It appeared in patches, forming a large area within a few seconds. To the surprise of the soldiers operating these weapons, their shells were blocked by the multicolored lights, exploding directly on top of them without hitting the ground. Moreover, these lights rapidly approached them.
A few seconds later, they finally saw clearly what those multicolored lights were. They were actually squads of rapidly advancing ninjas, each a hundred strong and all of the same element. Half of these hundred were advancing alongside the main force, their hands forming hand seals in perfect unison. As they formed these seals, their chakra rapidly flowed into the light shield above their heads, maintaining its operation. Whenever a shell hit the shield, its color would lighten, and the ninjas maintaining it on the ground would increase the chakra supply. Furthermore, the ninjas in the squads who weren't involved in setting up the shield would use ninjutsu to intercept the shells ahead. For a time, Mo Mo's side's artillery fire was basically ineffective. Apart from a few unlucky squads whose shields were directly hit by a dozen or so shells, there were virtually no casualties.
Seeing this, Mo Mo's commander quickly adjusted the battle plan, abandoning the alternating firing method and instead unleashing a massive volley of artillery. Accompanied by the synchronized roar, the advancing ninja army was simultaneously engulfed in a continuous, enormous burst of flames that stretched to the horizon, followed by the rising of numerous gray-white mushroom clouds.
Nearly ten seconds later, a thunderous roar, as loud as if it were right next to someone's ear, reached the Allied positions. The shockwave caused the small stones on the ground to vibrate slightly, and it continued for several seconds before gradually subsiding. The shockwave that followed, carrying clouds of dust and pebbles, smashed the armor of tanks and armored vehicles, making a series of cracking sounds. Fortunately, the Allied forces had not deployed infantry to accompany them; everyone was inside the vehicles. Otherwise, the shockwave alone would have been enough to kill them.
When the smoke and dust cleared, the protective shield that had been shining brightly in front of us disappeared completely, leaving only patches of red and black dust and scattered sparks—clothes that had been set ablaze. As for the trees and the like, they had all vanished long before the fog enveloped them.
However, before Mo Mo and his allied forces (meaning the world's allied forces protecting their homeland) could rejoice, bursts of light shone again from the mist. This time, leading the charge were patches of cyan protective shields, followed by various other colorful shields, and then more cyan shields. These ninja soldiers did not charge forward in a continuous line, but were divided into echelons, each separated by a hundred meters. Each echelon consisted of those wearing cyan shields and those wearing a mixture of colorful shields, advancing in perfect unison.
The allied forces had little to say. Although the enemy had changed their colors and methods of advance, their response remained the same: "Fire!" The artillery roared once more. However, when the smoke cleared, they were shocked to find that the continuous artillery fire that had previously been so effective had come back empty-handed for the first time. No, it wasn't entirely empty-handed. The ninja army in the first wave, covered in colorful protective shields, had lost at least half their numbers. But those covered in blue shields suffered almost no losses. Moreover, the number of ninjas under the blue shields was significantly greater than those under the other colored shields, and the chakra attributes they used were also different.
Mo Mo quickly grasped the key to the situation after a quick glance. The ninja army, protected by cyan shields, consisted of 500 people per unit, with 100 ninjas representing each of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth). They were using a principle similar to the Five Elements Formation, utilizing the principles of mutual generation and restraint among the five elements. First, 100 people of the same element formed a formation, similar to those colorful formations. Then, they merged these five different elemental formations into a new one, achieving a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts, rendering the allied forces' artillery fire ineffective.
However, while such a formation is powerful, it also has significant limitations. It is virtually impossible for a genin to achieve such fusion. Only chunin-level ninjas, through rigorous training and practice, can reach this level.
The artillery failure caused some uproar among the allied forces. Taking advantage of the allied forces' obscured vision by the smoke from the shockwave and their subsequent shock and reloading, the ninja army rapidly advanced, covering several hundred meters in just a few seconds. At this point, they were only two or three thousand meters away from the allied positions. At this rate of advance, the two sides would engage in close combat in less than half a minute. The allied forces were mostly ordinary people, who would have virtually no chance against these ninjas with extraordinary strength.
At that moment, the missile units that had been quietly following behind the tank and artillery echelons finally began to move. One after another, missiles blazing with flames began to take off and fly towards the ninja army that was rapidly attacking their side. Then, one after another, small gray-white mushroom clouds rose up. After these mushroom clouds rose, the attack did not stop. The artillery and tank units followed closely behind and landed on the heads of the ninja army on the opposite side. Those mushroom clouds quickly expanded like balloons.
When the smoke cleared again, the ninja army within range was wiped out once more, leaving only shimmering, crystal-clear ground glittering in the sunlight. This was formed from sand and mud under high temperature and pressure, demonstrating just how intense the artillery fire had been, leaving even the ground sparkling.
However, before the allied forces could even catch their breath, they discovered that the opposing ninja army completely disregarded their fallen comrades and the crystal-clear ground beneath their feet, which was still radiating intense heat, and continued their full-speed assault. Seeing this, not only Mo Mo, but everyone present understood that the probing was over and the real battle had officially begun.
As the ninja army advanced, the allied forces no longer hesitated to use their pills, unleashing all their artillery fire. Those who ran out of pills quickly retreated, and were replaced by those behind them. Due to the high-speed firing, many weapons had already overheated before they even finished firing their ammunition, making them unable to continue attacking. The tanks and armored artillery also quickly retreated, waiting for their barrels to cool down before rejoining the battle.
However, even with such high-speed firepower coverage, the ninja army still used human wave tactics to gradually approach the allied forces' position. From more than two thousand meters at the beginning, to two thousand meters, and then to one thousand meters, in just a few minutes, the ninja army had advanced more than one thousand meters, and now they were only five or six hundred meters away from the allied forces' position.
Just as the ninja army broke through to within about 200 meters of the allied forces' position, several allied echelons fired a salvo, driving the ninja army back to over a kilometer away. However, the drawbacks of this continuous high-speed artillery barrage became apparent. Due to the dense armored formations, the cannons heated up faster because of the ninja army's reckless charge. Their retreat speed could no longer keep up with the rate at which the cannons heated up, causing the firepower to weaken due to the limited range. A few minutes later, after paying the price of nearly ten million soldiers, the ninja army finally broke into the allied forces' position. Without the advantage of artillery fire, the allied soldiers were like lambs to the slaughter in front of these ninjas, utterly powerless. Even when they raised their guns, they could not hit these agile ninjas.
However, the Allied soldiers were not lambs to the slaughter. Since I couldn't hit you, I won't shoot. You can't do anything about firearms, but I still have grenades on my waist. So, with a series of booming sounds, one soldier after another, with the determination to die, detonated those round little things, dragging one ninja after another to pay the price. Although some ninjas dodged, there was always one out of five or six soldiers who could take a ninja down with them.
As more and more ninjas rushed into the Allied Forces' positions, someone detonated the ammunition on the vehicle, taking several ninjas with them. Then, a series of explosions rang out in the Allied Forces' positions, each explosion representing the death of one or more Allied Forces soldiers.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 255 Counterattack
The roar of war echoed, each explosion signifying the loss of one or more lives. At that moment, life was so fragile, yet for their homes and the families behind them, they were so selfless.
A gunner, holding a vehicle-mounted machine gun, pulled the trigger and fired wildly at the approaching ninja army. Beside him were his comrades who had already fallen in pools of blood, their vital organs still pierced with kunai and ninja stars.
"Come on, you little brats, let my machine gun give you a good beating. Come on up, aren't you so tough? Come on and kill me! I took down seven or eight Japanese devils in that last volley, and at least twenty more before that. Come and kill me! Hahaha."
Hearing the gunner's taunts, a Jonin who had already charged forward flashed a cold glint in his eyes. Ignoring his superior's order to advance at full speed and not linger after the initial attack, he recklessly turned back and charged towards the gunner who was still firing wildly. His squad had been wiped out in the previous assault, except for him. Among his squad were his beloved woman and his cherished younger brother. Seeing another Genin unable to dodge and being blown to pieces by the machine gun fire, the Jonin accelerated even further. In a flash, he plunged his kunai into the gunner's heart. However, before he could even savor the joy of revenge, a sharp, piercing sensation made his hair stand on end. Before he could retreat, a massive burst of fire engulfed him. It turned out that at the moment the kunai pierced his heart, the gunner used his last strength to detonate the shells piled up under his buttocks, taking his opponent with him in death. And this was just one corner of the battlefield. There were many, many more such situations on the battlefield.
In a secluded spot on a mountain peak far from the battlefield, Xu Yourong, Qingyue, and the little black dragon Zhusha were already weeping uncontrollably. Although Bai Yuechu and the others were not crying, their tightly clenched fists were stained with blood, because their fingernails had dug into their palms from their clenched fists.
Mo Mo, unusually, did not comfort Xu Yourong and the others. Instead, he stood up straight and solemnly looked at the battlefield in the distance, where artillery fire raged. Those soldiers who resolutely went to their deaths did not need pity or praise, because pity was an insult to soldiers, and no matter how magnificent the praise, it could not describe them. Only the blood and bones of the enemy were the greatest respect for them.
The front lines were locked in a stalemate. Ground artillery fire was no longer effective, and if this continued, their mechanized forces would suffer severe damage. At that moment, the Allied air force finally took to the skies. A dense swarm of aircraft, like migrating birds, roared in, followed by an even denser barrage of missiles with orange-red tails, like raindrops. Then, the world seemed to freeze for a moment as the ninja army was instantly engulfed by massive fireballs. Mushroom clouds rose into the sky, completely obscuring the huge spatial rift. The ensuing roar shattered the eardrums of many unsuspecting soldiers, and some were bleeding from their mouths and noses, clearly suffering internal injuries. The rolling shockwaves bleed away pieces of armor and other debris at the forefront.
As the swarm of aircraft roared in, besides the devastation, not a single ninja could be seen within a kilometer. Even the ninja's offensive, which had already penetrated the allied forces' formation, was halted. Just then, human cultivators and demons finally arrived at the battlefield from the rear, annihilating the ninja army that had broken into the formation one by one. Taking advantage of this time, the allied forces quickly regrouped and withdrew damaged weapons and soldiers that could no longer fight from the front lines.
How could the allied forces rest and regroup under the watchful eyes of the ninja army? They showed no intention of ceasing their attack. Squads of ninja continued to pour into the battlefield amidst the barrage of artillery fire, charging towards the allied forces. Moreover, various lights once again illuminated the mist, but these lights were different from the previous ones. They were significantly brighter, much smaller in range, and spherical. Then, these spheres of light rapidly rose and shot towards the allied forces. Only after these spheres of light left the mist did the allied forces realize that they were enormous spheres of light, each tens of meters long, composed of various types of chakra. Judging from the distorted space around the spheres, their power was undoubtedly immense.
However, these orbs of light arrived too quickly, and the allied forces were unable to organize an effective interception in time. Although the barrage of artillery fire managed to stop some of the orbs, most of them still landed among the main force of the allied forces. After landing, these orbs of light exploded violently, with an blast radius of two to three hundred meters. After the aftershocks subsided, there was nothing within a radius of two to three hundred meters except for the land of Jinghua.
Bai Yuechu and the others almost couldn't help but try to stop them, but Tu Shan Honghong stopped them in the end. Even if they had tried, it would have been futile, because even if they were powerful, how many of the giant orbs of light could they have stopped?
Seeing this scene, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is the cruelty of war!"
This counterattack by the ninja army left a gaping hole at the front of the allied forces, resulting in the loss of no less than a million warriors. Compared to the ninja army that the allied forces had previously eliminated, this was at least ten times less. On the surface, the allied forces seemed to have gained a huge advantage. However, the fact is that the allied forces suffered heavy losses this time because the entire Fox Spirit World only had a little over ten million mechanical troops. This was equivalent to losing one-tenth of their forces in one attack. If this happened several more times, the entire land-based mechanical force would be wiped out.
Although there is a navy and an air force, the air force has always been small in number, and it is impossible to form an effective suppression force by air force alone. The navy is even less useful because this place is deep inland, and there are not even two major rivers, let alone the sea.
The outcome that Bai Yuechu and his companions feared most did not occur. After the first wave of attacks, human cultivators and demon troops quickly joined the battle, resisting the combined ninjutsu attacks that were clearly similar to the previous defensive light shields. Although there were still losses, they were within an acceptable range. At this point, both sides entered a phase of attrition. The opposing ninja army obviously could not tolerate this situation. With a series of booming sounds, one after another, enormous creatures rushed out of the mist. Behind these enormous creatures was an endless army of ninjas, and among them were powerful figures with names and titles in the Naruto world. The decisive battle had begun.
Seeing that the enemy's experts had been mobilized, the allied forces immediately ordered the modern mechanized units to retreat. Human cultivators and demons quickly took their place, and the allied forces' experts also joined the battle. However, the enemy's ninja army failed to notice that while the modern mechanized units were retreating, a very small number of these units not only did not retreat but began to move forward. These units opened fire like the regular units, but upon closer inspection, it would be discovered that they were targeting powerful ninjas or strange beasts.
Those shells that shimmered with a faint light or were different from the others flew into the distance amidst the ordinary shells. Among them, a huge beast with a blue face and fangs, covered in bone spikes, was seen rushing forward while staring at the fierce artillery fire. The shells, which were the size of sesame seeds, were like tickling it when they hit it. After advancing through another wave of artillery fire, it suddenly realized that something was wrong. It felt its eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and its limbs getting weaker and weaker. Then it fell into darkness.
As he fell, as if in a chain reaction, rows of the beasts charging at the forefront suddenly collapsed, crushing many of the unfortunate ones around him. This sudden scene brought the entire ninja army's offensive to a standstill for a moment, and the beasts slowed their advance. Only then did they notice the unusually powerful cannonballs mixed in with the ordinary shells. This discovery alerted the ninja army, and their losses were greatly reduced in an instant. Seeing that their secret had been discovered, the allied forces no longer hid it and directly revealed all their special weapons.
The most eye-catching weapons are a dozen large-caliber laser cannons and several battlefield mechs that are over ten meters tall. These are the results of Grey Wolf's tireless research over the past few days. Of course, in addition to these two, Grey Wolf has also tinkered with some powerful cannonballs. Unfortunately, due to the complicated manufacturing process, not many cannons can be produced in a short time. Even with the joint efforts of the whole world, only a few thousand laser cannons have been produced. There are even fewer combat mechs, less than a hundred in total. Only a few were allocated to the battlefield where the main force of the ninja army broke through, while other battlefields only had one each.
Those cannonballs that shimmered with a faint glow were Mo Mo's creation. He taught them how to inscribe magic arrays on cannonballs to increase their power. However, it was also a pity that inscribing magic arrays on ordinary cannonballs required a high level of skill from the inscriber, and such cannonballs were not produced in large quantities.
Although the quantity was small, the results were remarkable. When all the shells were used up, the laser cannons overheated and died, and the mechs were too badly damaged to fight and self-destructed to kill the enemy, they took away no less than 10,000 giant beasts, not to mention countless other cannon fodder.
At this moment, the main forces of both sides finally clashed for the first time. The instant they made contact, blood splattered and limbs flew everywhere. The bright red and hot blood stimulated the senses of both sides, instantly turning them into bloodthirsty warriors. The top experts of both sides also began to fight. Everyone else on both sides consciously stayed away from the area where these experts were fighting. That was not a place for them to get involved. With their strength, touching it would mean certain death. Except for Mo Mo, Bai Yuechu and the others quietly concealed their auras and dispersed into the battlefield. When Xu Yourong and the other two left, Mo Mo left a trace of his power on each of them to protect their safety. With this power, even if the Naruto world attacked them, they could escape safely. Mo Mo was also on guard against Kaguya Otsutsuki, the strongest person in the Naruto world. With her strength, if she were further strengthened by the Naruto world, Bai Yuechu and the others would be no match for her.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 256 Defeat
Kaguya Otsutsuki, the final boss of the Naruto world, the incarnation of the God Tree, the creator god of the ninja world, and the progenitor of chakra, possesses the abilities of the three strongest dojutsu in the Naruto world: the Byakugan, the Sharingan, and the Rinnegan.
The Otsutsuki clan originally came from another world. Kaguya, the clan leader, came to the earth to obtain the fruit of the God Tree. After eating the fruit, she gained chakra and used its powerful strength to quell the wars in the world. Her son explained the way of chakra, so that the method of chakra training was passed down.
Years later, the Divine Tree transformed into the Ten-Tails and went berserk. However, Kaguya Otsutsuki actually wanted to reclaim the chakra of the world, so she merged with the Divine Tree Fruit. Kaguya is the Divine Tree itself. The root cause of this berserk state was that she was blinded by power and wanted to obtain even greater power through this method.
Afterwards, her two sons, the progenitor of ninjutsu, the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo and Hamura, together defeated and sealed their rampaging mother and the Ten-Tails. However, neither brother knew that before being sealed, Kaguya Otsutsuki had created Black Zetsu with her own will and planned to use it to revive herself. As time passed, her bloodline branched into the Uchiha, Hyuga, Senju, and Uzumaki clans, all of which are among the top clans in the Naruto world, producing countless powerful ninjas.
The story of the Naruto world unfolds from the entanglements of several clans, culminating in Kaguya Otsutsuki's resurrection using Black Zetsu after the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated.
Infinite Tsukuyomi is a large-scale genjutsu with an extremely wide range in the Naruto world, a technique capable of destroying the world. Only those with the Rinne Sharingan can activate it. The Rinne Sharingan user projects their ocular power onto the moon, trapping everyone in the world in a genjutsu. They are then enveloped by the Divine Tree, which absorbs their chakra and creates new chakra. If the spell isn't broken in time, those trapped inside will become White Zetsu (similar to puppet clones), ultimately leading to the end of the world.
In the end, although Kaguya Otsutsuki was resurrected by Black Zetsu (a product of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will), with the help of Obito Uchiha, the original Team 7 (the class that the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki was in) worked together to seal Kaguya and Black Zetsu.
However, that's just the ending of the manga and anime. At this moment, the Naruto world is invading the Fox Spirit World, and it certainly won't allow such a powerful force to be sealed away and unable to fight. Therefore, Kaguya Otsutsuki will definitely appear, and her strength will definitely be stronger than in the anime.
The battle was deadlocked from the start. On the battlefield, ninja techniques such as Great Fireball and Water Release were used, while the Allied Forces used Five Elements Talismans, Heaven and Earth Transformation, and various innate abilities of the demon race. Although the Naruto world has many powerful ninjutsu, such as Infinite Tsukuyomi, Shinra Tensei, and Chibaku Tensei, the requirements for casting them are very high, making them impossible to popularize. Therefore, in low-to-mid-level battles, the Fox Demon World actually had the upper hand. Moreover, perhaps due to the difference in training systems, the people on the Allied Forces side generally had higher mental strength, which greatly reduced the power of the ninjas' genjutsu, or even rendered it ineffective.
However, the battles at the higher levels were somewhat dangerous. Although their mental strength was generally high and their resistance to energy such as illusions and illusions was quite high, the top masters in the Naruto world also mastered many powerful ninjutsu. In addition, the top masters like Tushan Honghong were hidden in the dark. Therefore, the top masters of the Allied Forces were at a disadvantage in the battles. Except for a very few, they could only barely hold on. Moreover, Kaguya Otsutsuki and her two sons from the Naruto world had not yet appeared, and even Naruto and his group had not appeared.
Mo Mo's gaze swept across the entire battlefield ahead. Although he didn't use his divine sense, his extraordinary five senses still detected several powerful individuals hidden among the ordinary ninja army. There was no way around it; although these people looked very ordinary to others, in Mo Mo's eyes, who had watched Naruto, they were like fireflies flickering in the dark, extremely obvious. So, without hesitation, Mo Mo used his divine sense to notify Bai Yuechu and the others who were also hiding in the shadows.
After receiving Mo Mo's notification, Bai Yuechu and his group split into five people, led by Tu Shan Honghong and Tu Shan Yaya, and quickly surrounded Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
Each time, Mo Mo discovered three members of the Naruto main characters' team. With those cat-like long beards on their faces, who else could it be but Naruto Uzumaki, who had the Nine-Tails sealed inside him? However, the trio at this moment was not the same trio from the original series. Their eyes were now flashing with a faint red light, and their former kindness and compassion were gone, replaced by a cold killing intent. They had been completely brainwashed by the Naruto world, and now they were nothing more than cold killing machines with consciousness.
After cleaving another demon in two, Naruto Uzumaki charged forward with a cold gaze. To him, the five people rushing towards them were nothing more than running corpses.
The two sides quickly approached each other. Naruto Uzumaki, no, he should be called the killing machine Naruto, his eyes flashed with a cold light. He raised the kunai in his hand and, just like he had done to the soldiers who had blocked his way before, lightly slashed it at the opponent. The next second, the opponent would become a cold corpse.
However, when the kunai was swung out, it didn't feel like it had hit the enemy's body. The strike that was supposed to hit missed, which made Naruto, who had been completely brainwashed, pause for a moment. Then a chill ran down his spine. Before he could do anything else, a pair of small, white hands had already pierced through his chest and crushed his heart. His life force was rapidly draining away. As his consciousness began to blur, he didn't look at the owner of the hand. Instead, he turned his head with difficulty to look behind him, where his two friends were.
However, when he turned around, he saw a crystal-clear ice sculpture and a headless corpse. For some reason, seeing this scene, he felt a heart-wrenching pain, but this pain did not last long, because he had already lost consciousness.
Looking at the fallen Hokage trio, Mo Mo couldn't help but sigh. The strength of the three Hokage was far inferior to that of Tu Shan Ya Ya. The strongest Naruto was only slightly weaker than Tu Shan Hong Hong. However, in this sneak attack, they were killed without even being able to launch a decent counterattack. It was truly a pity. However, for the allied forces of the Fox Demon World, this was great news.
After defeating the Hokage trio, Tu Shan Hong Hong and her group continued to remain hidden among the crowd, keeping a low profile. They would quietly approach the enemy's weak points, delivering a fatal blow followed by a long-range attack. Their results were quite impressive; in just one hour, they had eliminated no fewer than fifty Special Jonin-level ninjas, as well as several Kage-level ninjas. However, they did not come without a price. In the main battle, they lost no fewer than ten powerful demons of the same level as Special Jonin, and more than a dozen died in sneak attacks. Tu Shan Hong Hong had to reveal herself and join the main battle to turn the tide of the battle.
As the fierce battle intensified, those who had once sought enlightenment in the courtyard also suffered casualties. First, Prince Fan Yunfei of the Western Regions was ambushed and seriously injured by Orochimaru. His wife, Li Xueyang, died on the spot after taking Orochimaru's fatal blow to save him. Then, in a direct confrontation, he was killed by the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who suddenly appeared.
After the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, killed Wang Fugui's father, he was also reduced to ashes by Mo Mo's Hellfire Asura attack. When Mo Mo put away his gun and stood up, a woman appeared in front of him. She was dressed in white, had a long head and pointed ears, white eyes, two red dots on her eyebrows, and a vertical mark between her eyebrows.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 257 Another Bombing
Mo Mo casually put the already destroyed Purgatory Shura back into his storage space, and said indifferently to Kaguya Otsutsuki in front of him, "Kaguya Otsutsuki, you finally couldn't hold back anymore? Since you've all come out, then none of you should go back. It's better to deal with you sooner rather than later."
Mo Mo obtained the Hellfire Shura in the Ghost Blows Out the Light world and kept it in his storage space after acquiring it, so it hadn't been strengthened yet. As a result, it couldn't withstand the power after he imbued it with a wisp of power to kill the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and it was completely destroyed. However, Mo Mo wasn't heartbroken. He had a complete grasp of all the data of this gun, and if he wanted, he could forge a new one at any time. Moreover, the power would vary depending on the materials used. As long as Mo Mo was willing, killing gods and destroying immortals would be no problem. However, even Mo Mo would feel the pinch of the precious materials required for that.
"You think you can just hide behind and shoot from the back? And with a gun that's already broken, don't make me laugh. But since you were able to kill Hagoromo, that proves you're not bad. So obediently submit to me completely and become my puppet!" A cold glint flashed in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes, and a dark pattern resembling a four-cornered boomerang quietly appeared in her eyes as she looked at Mo Mo. It was the eye technique Kotoamatsukami.
Kotoamatsukami is hailed as the "strongest genjutsu." In the original series, only Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan could use it. Kotoamatsukami can directly invade the opponent's brain without their knowledge, permanently and completely altering their will, turning them into the caster's puppet. However, as the creator god of the ninja world and the progenitor of chakra, it's not surprising that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could use Kotoamatsukami. Unfortunately, she used it on the wrong person.
Mo Mo did not resist Kaguya Otsutsuki's Kotoamatsukami, allowing her spiritual power to invade his brain. However, unfortunately, compared to Mo Mo, Kaguya Otsutsuki's spiritual power was like the sun compared to a firefly. As soon as Kaguya Otsutsuki's spiritual power touched Mo Mo's consciousness, it melted away as quickly as thin snow under the scorching summer sun. However, Kaguya Otsutsuki was not an ordinary person. After sensing that something was wrong, she quickly stopped the ninjutsu and severed the spiritual connection.
"Who, who are you?" Kaguya Otsutsuki's aura quickly weakened, her face turned pale, and large beads of sweat hung on her somewhat pale and delicate forehead. The composure she had just displayed in her beautiful eyes was gone, replaced only by fear.
Kaguya Otsutsuki had never experienced such terror. Although this man lacked an imposing aura and his strength didn't seem particularly great, she knew it was all an illusion. Her spiritual power trembled uncontrollably the moment it approached him, and she felt an urge to submit to him. His spiritual power was as vast as the starry sea and as blazing as the sun. Her spiritual power was ignited and burned to ashes the moment it touched him or before it even touched him. If she hadn't reacted quickly, ending Kotoamatsukami and forcibly severing her own spiritual power to stop the scorching flames, she would probably have already returned to the altar (a special building for resurrection in the Naruto world, the final resting place for the true spirits of all the Naruto warriors who died in the Fox Spirit World, which can be reconstituted and resurrected by consuming a certain amount of world power).
"Me? I'm just a traveler. As for the rest, you don't need to know." With that, Mo Mo raised his hand and pointed at Kaguya Otsutsuki's forehead.
Although Mo Mo's finger strike was completely unassuming, appearing to be just an ordinary, slow gesture, Kaguya Otsutsuki was filled with fear. She suddenly found herself unable to move, and she truly felt the threat of death from Mo Mo's long, perfect hand.
At the critical moment of life and death, Kaguya Otsutsuki actually broke through the natural seal that came with Mo Mo's finger strike, and began to frantically circulate her chakra, gathering all of it in the Rinne Sharingan between her eyebrows. Before Mo Mo's slender finger touched her, she activated Ame no Minakata and transferred to another dimension.
Mo Mo was slightly surprised to see Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly disappear, but only slightly. He did not stop pointing his finger and continued to slowly point forward. At this moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki was sitting on a huge and flat block of ice, still shaken and completely losing her composure.
