A more refined and dangerous Tailed Beast Ball than before quickly took shape!
But this time, Naruto did not launch it directly.
He controls the nature and form transformations of wind-style chakra with his left and right hands respectively!
This is his technique for using the Rasenshuriken, and this time it has been applied to the Tailed Beast Ball!
A piercing sound, like the screeching of thousands of birds, rang out.
Countless wildly spinning chakra blades extended from the surface of the Tailed Beast Ball.
Its entire form transformed into an enormous Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken, imbued with the power of the Tailed Beast and a storm of natural energy!
"Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken!!"
Naruto used all his strength to hurl the attack, which incorporated his strongest power, toward the core of Chibaku Tensei in the sky!
The Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken spun and whistled.
Wherever it passed, even the powerful gravitational field was temporarily torn apart by its violent energy, and it crashed straight into the black core!
boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
An unprecedentedly massive explosion erupted high in the sky!
The dazzling white light and shockwave instantly engulfed the black sphere, and the terrifying gravitational field disappeared abruptly as if its source had been cut off!
The countless rock fragments that had just been sucked into the sky suddenly lost their support and fell back down like a torrential rain.
Before the Planetary Devastation was fully formed, Naruto forcibly broke it in the most violent way!
With his ultimate move broken, Nagato clicked his tongue in frustration, his body swaying slightly from the backlash of the technique.
However, at this very moment when his mind was in turmoil—
"Tailed Beast Flash Barrage!"
Naruto's roar came from all directions!
Using the Flying Thunder God Kunai and his extreme speed, his figure transformed into countless golden streaks of light.
They launched a relentless barrage of attacks on Nagato from all sorts of incredible angles!
Punches, kicks, elbows, knees... even lashes from the chakra tail behind him!
Every attack contains the immense power of the Nine-Tails!
boom!boom!boom!boom!
Caught off guard, Nagato found himself completely on the defensive!
He tried to block, but Naruto's attacks came from all directions and were incredibly fast!
He had just blocked the left fist when the right kick came;
He had just deflected a frontal elbow strike when his tail lashed out at his back!
The black chakra shield flickered violently, and Nagato was forced to retreat step by step, looking disheveled and almost powerless to fight back!
"Final blow! Rasengan!"
Naruto's true form suddenly appeared in the air directly above Nagato.
The dazzling, rapidly spinning azure chakra ball in his hand was slammed down towards Nagato, whose defense had been wide open due to the continuous attacks!
That familiar chakra fluctuation, that familiar technique form...
Still stunned by the attack, Nagato instinctively looked up.
Raindrops streaked across the air, and light refracted around the Rasengan, creating a dazzling halo.
In a daze, I saw Naruto's resolute and powerful figure.
It seemed to slowly overlap with the white-haired figure from many years ago who had also taught them and believed that "peace will eventually come"...
It is no longer pain and betrayal, but another deeply buried, warm memory.
On the border of the Land of Rain, three thin children surrounded a tall, white-haired man.
"Jiraiya-sensei, we want to become strong ninjas like you in the future!"
"Then, we will change this country! We will stop the land of rain from weeping!"
Yahiko waved his fist, his face beaming with a hopeful smile, a smile as bright and warm as sunlight piercing through the clouds.
"One day, I will make smiles bloom in every corner of the Land of Rain!"
In the early days of forming the Akatsuki organization, although it was difficult and they were suppressed by various forces, the comrades came together.
The days spent striving for the same dream... that burning belief and bond...
The Rasengan landed squarely on Nagato's chest!
The immense impact sent Nagato's body crashing into the ground below like a meteorite!
After a deafening roar, a huge crater was smashed into the ground, and spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly in all directions.
Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel fell in a flurry.
In the center of the deep pit, Nagato lay there, his black chakra extremely dim, as if it would dissipate at any moment.
His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing a scorched wound underneath.
He stared blankly at the gloomy sky, raindrops falling on his face.
Mixed with mud and blood, the madness and coldness in those eyes of reincarnation gradually faded.
Instead, there is a vast, blank emptiness.
Yahiko's smile... and that long-forgotten vow, echoed repeatedly in his mind like a resounding bell.
"Let smiles... bloom everywhere in the Land of Rain..."
He muttered to himself, his voice hoarse and weak.
What exactly... have I done?
Naruto slowly descended from the edge of the deep pit.
The golden chakra cloak slowly disappeared at this moment.
He stared intently at the long gate at the bottom of the pit, alert to any possible changes.
The battle seems to have come to a temporary end.
Chapter 366 Rediscovering the Original Dream
This was accompanied by Nagato's defeat.
The thick, leaden clouds that have always shrouded Amegakure seem to be eternally unchanging.
It began to tumble and dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One, two, countless beams of long-awaited, warm and dazzling golden sunlight.
Like a sharp sword piercing through the gaps in the clouds, it stubbornly fell upon this wounded land.
The sunlight dispelled the chill and dampness, illuminating the ruins and the two figures facing each other in the deep pit.
The golden chakra surrounding Naruto slowly receded and returned to his body.
He slowly squatted down, looking at the red-haired man struggling at the bottom of the pit, his eyes vacant as he stared at the sky.
“I certainly haven’t experienced everything you have.”
Naruto spoke, his voice hoarse from exhaustion, yet filled with unprecedented seriousness: "What I saw was merely fragments of your memories."
"I cannot truly empathize with those pains and despairs."
Nagato's eyes shifted slightly as he looked at Naruto, and the purple ripples in his Rinnegan seemed to have dimmed considerably.
Naruto continued, his tone firm, "I know very well, and I'm very certain."
"Any attempt to shock the world with greater suffering in exchange for so-called 'peace' can never be true peace."
"That will only breed new and deeper hatred, and the cycle will never stop."
Nagato remained silent for a moment, raindrops sliding from the eaves and dripping onto his cheeks.
His voice was dry and weary: "Is that so... Then what do you intend to do? This cursed world..."
Naruto honestly shook his head: "I don't know exactly what to do."
"But I know very well that this will be very difficult, a thousand times more difficult than defeating you."
He paused, a slightly embarrassed yet incredibly sincere smile appearing on his face: "However, I believe what the perverted sage—Master Jiraiya—believes."
"I believe that the day will come when people will eventually be able to understand each other."
Looking at Naruto's pure, even somewhat "naive" smile.
A bitter smile, extremely complex, appeared on Nagato's pale face.
It was a mixture of sarcasm, nostalgia, and a faint... longing.
"What a naive idea. Just like Yahiko back then..."
Upon hearing this, Naruto's smile actually brightened.
He scratched his still-damp blond hair: "Maybe."
"But perhaps it is precisely because of this naiveté that we are willing to keep striving for this seemingly unattainable dream, isn't it?"
Naruto himself felt a little strange when he said those words.
Not long ago, they were mortal enemies, each strike aimed at killing the other, wishing to destroy each other completely.
But now, with the smoke of battle still lingering, they can sit in the same pit, almost calmly, talking about the world and their dreams.
This transformation was abrupt yet natural, as if the intense collision had shattered certain barriers, allowing the most essential things to be revealed.
Nagato looked at the sunlight streaming in, coughed violently a few times, struggled to prop herself up with her arms, and slowly sat up.
This simple action seemed to have exhausted all his strength. He leaned against the mud wall of the pit, panting heavily.
"You and Yahiko are the same...you both possess this power...to illuminate others."
