(NSS)Chapter 178: Potential fulfilled
🕑 Added 2025-04-03 15:31:46 +0000 UTC"This whole situation is ridiculous! That's two people thought long dead not, a new tailed beast that nobody except them knew about, a bunch of dead people including someone I actually know. Someone I killed myself who let's not forget had been an evil bastard for like over a decade now and several dead Hokage who have been brought back through Edo tensei, again! I've been retired for a week and the worlds gone to hell!" I said angrily after summarizing what was told to me when I arrived.
"While I share your disbelief about this situation we have more pressing concerns." Tobirama Senju said seriously as Madara and Obito just watch from the ten tails head arrogantly.
"Aren't you supposed to be stronger than Madara?" I asked looking at the first Hokage himself who looked a little awkward at the question.
"He's stronger than when we fought that final time since he stole my cells and obtained the eyes of the sage of six paths. Comparing the two versions of him isn't even possible anymore." the man said with a sigh.
I sighed "Must I do everything these days?" I complained as I began to remove the seals and weights off my body fully rather than simply deactivating them like I did when Pain attacked.
Comparing Madara with only a single eye to Pain who had both was not even a close one. Pain while powerful was frail and dying while Madara exuded a pressure even I felt if only slightly. He was strong even by my standards. So much so that my instincts told me I couldn't just crush him like any other enemy I have ever faced. Obito next to him held a hint of threat as well but not much greater than Pain did.-
As for the ten tailed beast beneath them it felt powerful for sure but also incomplete, like it wasn't at it's best. It was rather strange how the war seemed to wait for me to finish removing my weights and seals. The moment the last of the seals released however and the last weight slipped from my body a collective shudder ran through the army of shinobi arrayed against Madara and Obito while they themselves tensed unconsciously.-
"MMMMM~" I groaned in pleasure at the unburdened feeling I had.
I stopped holding back for the first time in my life and the air distorted while the ground crumbled as the weight of my power rolled off me and pressed down on my surroundings. To the shock of many however I did not fall into the crater that formed beneath me but stood upon the air itself as behind my shoulders two black orbs formed from seemingly nothing. I had to admit I felt rather embarrassed when I realized what happened. All this time I had actually been standing in my own way as all those seals and weights had been suppressing my bodies full potential rather than merely keeping my power under control.-
Every chakra nature naturally fused and at my command, the ability to ignore gravity entirely and even the less obvious ability to generate endless energy. It dawned on me that I was as close to a god as I could even imagine. I floated in the air with a relaxed smile as I held up my hand and one of the two black orbs floated over my shoulder and above it. With a small flex of my will it changed shape, sword, staff, hammer, whip. I marveled at the sheer versatility of the orb made of all the chakra natures as well as natural energy. -
I looked at Madara and Obito and casually flicked my wrist beckoning the orb forward. It seemed to vanish entirely as it ripped through space itself to arrive before Madara's head as his eye widened in fear and dodged at the last possible moment as the orb passed through his hair and simply erased it. The orb returned to me but I was unbothered by the failure to kill him instantly. A bead of sweat rolled down his face however as he no doubt felt deaths cold breath on the back of his neck for that brief moment.-
"Who are you?" Madara asked with a serious expression, his voice rich and deep.
"Kenzo Mizuyama, Natural sage of the world and your end." I said calmly as I raised my foot and in the next instant lowered it as I stood behind both him and Obito on the ten tails head. Space barely resisted as I effortlessly teleported to this location. This world was mine to command in it's entirety so when I told space that I was there that is precisely what I was.-
Both Madara and Obito decisively separated their connection to the ten tails when I appeared here as they launched themselves away. The beast itself barely got the chance to roar as it was freed before I stomped my foot and forced it's massive bulk into the ground causing a minor earthquake in the process. I pressed my palm down against it once down and everyone watched in awe as the whole thing began to shrink and vanish under my palm until it was completely gone. Though in truth I had merely forced the beast into my body since it was more or less just a mass of natural energy and neutral chakra.-
While my own energy pool was massive and constantly renewing itself the inclusion of the ten tails was not merely additive but multiplicative. In a manner of speaking I "ate" the beast entirely as it wasn't even possible to extract it from me anymore. All of it's energy melded completely into my own and my power skyrocketed as to my surprise the beasts unique energy stimulated my bloodline. On the outside my skin turned chalk white along with my hair as the horn nubs in my hairline grew out and a new eye grew on the center of my forehead.-
Four more black orbs manifested in an arc behind me as the eye on my forehead opened to reveal a golden rinnegan with nine tomoe in the ripple patterns of it. I felt ... complete. It was odd really like this whole time my bloodline was not fully awakened but now I was at my fullest potential. The ugly expressions on both Madara and Obito's faces told me they were VERY unhappy about this matter but both clearly realized how horribly outmatched they were. I didn't care though as I was far too busy understanding the instinctual knowledge that I gained when the strange Rinnegan opened on my forehead.-
I didn't miss the dark shadowy being that tried to sneak up on me however but didn't move even as it sought to pierce through my heart with it's arm. "THUD!" the arm struck my back but failed to accomplish anything which caused the fanatical joy on the shadowy things face to freeze.
"So you must be the true mastermind. When I first discovered you I only assumed you were a strange shinobi but as I am now I see through you." I said calmly as one of my orbs wraps around the shadowy figure trapping it.
