352 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance
🕑 Added 2025-12-03 06:09:01 +0000 UTCBlood-red Futsu no Mitama fell!
Because of the obstruction from the ash bones just now, the giant blade shifted, failing to land on Kaguya's head and instead slashed diagonally across her shoulder!!
"Crack!!"
A red glow streaked past, and the crimson blade chopped off one of Kaguya's arms!!
And Black Zetsu was hiding inside the sleeve of that arm!!
The Fourth and Second reacted instantly; the moment Kaguya's arm was severed, they threw Flying Thunder God kunai, teleporting to catch the severed limb!
Then the two once again activated Flying Thunder God, pulling away to create distance!
Across from them, after cutting off Kaguya's arm, Shinju's enormous blade immediately turned again, cleaving toward Kaguya's body once more!!
Although Kaguya had been sealed for a thousand years and wasn't very smooth with using her abilities, she still instantly opened the dark space portal and slipped into it!!
On the other side, behind the Second, Kaguya's space portal opened, and the vanished Kaguya emerged from there!!
"Whoosh!!"
Ash bones shot out instantly!
At the same time the ash bones were fired, the Second activated Flying Thunder God and teleported away!
Seeing her attack miss, Kaguya, annoyed, disappeared again!!
And when Kaguya opened the space portal to ambush the Second just now, Shinju had no intention of helping at all. Instead, he stood atop Susanoo's head, frowning as he observed this strange, unpredictable technique Kaguya used…
It seemed that Kaguya could use this pitch-black space portal to shuttle anywhere at will.
If they didn't crack this technique, it would be hard to catch her!
Another issue—Kaguya's regeneration speed was extremely fast. After chopping off her arm, only a few seconds passed before it grew back again!
"I wonder if cutting off her head would grow back."
Shinju muttered.
At that moment, Sasuke shouted a reminder from not far away: "Watch out!!"
Shinju snapped back to awareness and saw a massive chakra fist appear right before him!!
And behind that one fist followed hundreds, thousands— the sight comparable to the True Thousand Hands!
"Don't think my fists are any fewer!"
Shinju shouted, and behind Susanoo, thousands of chakra fists burst out instantly!!
"Ora ora ora ora ora——!!! ☄ฺ(◣д◢)☄ฺ"
"Boom boom boom boom boom——!!"
Chakra fists collided, and in the icy space, shockwaves surged again and again!!
The fist clash lasted for dozens of seconds, when Kaguya suddenly stopped!!
Just as Shinju was confused, the scene before him changed!!
From the ice-snow space they were transferred to a strange location— the ground here was green, uneven, and in this space, gravity was dozens of times stronger than outside, crushing the ora-charging Shinju straight to the ground!!
Kaguya seized the moment and hurled ash bones!!
"Whoosh!!"
The gray bone shot straight toward Shinju, but he didn't move at all…
Just as the gray bone was about to strike Shinju—
"Splash——!"
Shinju's body instantly turned into a puddle of water, dodging the attack!!
The Hozuki clan's secret technique!
Immediately after, one of Shinju's hands stretched out from the water and began forming seals!
"Wood Clone!!"
"Splash splash splash——"
Over a hundred wooden clones burst from the water of Shinju's real body— the scene extremely eerie!!
The wooden clones brute-forced through the gravity and charged at Kaguya at high speed using Body Flicker!
At the same time, while rushing forward, clones with Shinju's massive chakra unleashed various dazzling techniques!
Susanoo, Wood Release, Crystal Release— there was even a clone who directly opened the Gate of Death from Eight Gates…
Facing the endless flashy attacks from Shinju's clones, Kaguya once again used her earlier chakra fists, continuously outputting at the wooden clones!
"Swish swish swish——!!"
Meanwhile, the real Shinju at the rear had already reformed his human body!
Next, both snake sage mode and toad sage mode markings appeared on his face!!
"Sage Art · Wood Release!"
"Swish swish swish——!!!"
A massive wood dragon erupted from underground, coiling toward Kaguya's body!
Kaguya had been busy dealing with clones using chakra fists, and when the wood dragon appeared, she didn't have time to react before being captured!!
Seeing this, Shinju's lips curled and he quietly formed a seal:
"Strangle!!"
The thick wood dragon instantly tightened, crushing Kaguya's body into fragments!!
Throughout the process, Shinju watched closely, observing Kaguya's reaction carefully!
As expected, shortly after her body was torn apart, Kaguya recombined and revived!
Shinju frowned: "As expected, she can't be killed. Looks like only sealing will work."
"So what sealing technique should be used…"
"Netherworld Seal… the Shinigami looks quite similar to Kaguya. They probably have some connection— can't use that…"
"The key point is, normal sealing won't work on her either…"
"Right…"
Shinju suddenly recalled the memory Sasuke had shown him with genjutsu earlier!
"Touch her with Yin-Power and Yang-Power simultaneously…"
Shinju prided himself on good comprehension. Given some time, he could definitely develop a sealing for Kaguya— but right now, there was no time…
And he still didn't have the Yin Power or Yang Power needed to seal her…
While Shinju was thinking, on the other side, Kaguya had already opened the pitch-black spacetime portal and slipped away…
Shinju continued pondering how to obtain Yin and Yang power…
Suddenly, he slapped his head: "Let's see if I can go for the Yang Power on Naruto…"
The voice fell, and he formed a seal, teleporting with the Flying Thunder God Technique!
...
The scene before him shifted, and Shinju returned to the present world beside Naruto!
At this moment, Senju Hashirama and the Sage of Six Paths were circling Naruto's body, thinking of a countermeasure. Seeing Shinju suddenly appear, they were both startled!
Hashirama:
"Shinju? You're finally here! (ノ°ο°)ノ"
Shinju, speechless:
"I've been here for a while. I was just fighting Kaguya…"
The Sage of Six Paths quickly understood the crux of the problem:
"So you were trapped in my mother's space just now?"
"She let you out? (´°Δ°`)"
Shinju shook his head:
"No, I used Flying Thunder God to run out."
Hashirama:
"Flying Thunder God… can it achieve cross-space teleportation? ∑(✘Д✘๑)"
Shinju shrugged:
"Why not? I've been researching Flying Thunder God, Heavenly Transfer Technique, and the Masked Man's Kamui for so long. Combining Flying Thunder God with dojutsu makes cross-dimensional teleportation perfectly reasonable. ┐(´-｀)┌"
Hashirama:
"True… reasonable… (≖╻≖;)"
Beside them, the Sage of Six Paths looked conflicted, feeling something was off:
"But, it…"
Shinju immediately waved his hand to cut him off:
"What's the point of asking so much? I'm out here because there's real business to handle…"
The Sage of Six Paths: ಠ .̫.̫ ಠ
He had existed in this world for over a thousand years. Anyone who saw him or mentioned him was always extremely respectful!
But this kid in front of him actually showed impatience and disliked him talking too much?!
This kid really thinks nothing of me!! (눈益눈)
Before the Sage could voice his dissatisfaction, Shinju—like he noticed the old man's peculiar presence—asked:
"Old man, you…"
Finally being asked about his identity, the Sage of Six Paths happily straightened his clothes, placed his staff across his lap, and said with full prestige:
"Kid, you guessed right. I am the Sage of Six Paths who once saved this shinobi world from suffering! (•̀⌄•́)"
Shinju shook his head:
"No no, I just remembered who you are. I simply want to ask—why can you appear in the present world when you have no physical body, only a bit of chakra?"
"And also, are you a spirit now? Naruto and Sasuke's power came from you, right? If I absorb that little bit of chakra you have left, would you actually die for real?"
The Sage of Six Paths: "…"
This boy is a grim reaper incarnate! (Φ皿Φ)
He wouldn't even spare the tiny bit of chakra on his body!
The Sage of Six Paths:
"Alright, let's skip all that messy stuff and talk business! (||๐_๐)"
"You came out in order to bring Naruto back in, right? \( ö )/"
