Chapter 419 War
"Splash—splash—"
The rain in Amegakure seems to have never stopped since the village was born. Lead-gray clouds hang low over the sky, swallowing up all the light, leaving only endless, cold rain lines lashing against the towering iron towers, the damp streets, and the ever-turbulent sea outside the village.
"Pat...pat..."
The rhythmic sound of footsteps pierced through the clamor of the downpour and the roar of the waves, coming from the sea.
A figure, ignoring the raging waves below that could swallow a giant ship, stepped on the undulating sea as if walking on flat land.
The seawater sank and rippled beneath his feet, yet it could not touch him in the slightest.
A howling wind lifted the hem of his robe and cloak as he slowly made his way toward Amegakure.
In the sky, countless pieces of paper seemed to drift out, dancing against the rain, gathering together, and finally coalescing above the sea into a slender figure wearing a black robe embroidered with red clouds—Xiao Nan.
She floated in the air, her paper wings slightly unfurled behind her. Raindrops fell on the paper, but mysteriously slid away without wetting it at all.
The two faced each other across the sea and the rain, dozens of meters apart.
"Obito, is he here?"
Mianma's voice pierced through the wind and rain, without questioning or provocation, but more like a confirmation inquiry.
Xiao Nan was silent for a moment, raindrops sliding down her pale cheeks. "We can't directly command that man," she said, her voice as cold as ever. "Did things really have to come to this?"
"I don't want war either. But there's nothing I can do about it."
He raised his head slightly, "I don't want everyone around me to become something like White Zetsu in the future."
To become a White Zetsu?
This made Xiao Nan frown. She didn't quite understand what it meant.
"I can explain it clearly," Menma continued. "But your companion who wields the Rinnegan... is still indulging in the illusion of power from those eyes. No matter what I say now, he won't listen to a word I say."
"Splash—!"
The rain intensified, crashing onto the sea and creating countless white foams.
A piece of plain white paper, drifting from the edge of Konan's wing, was whipped up by the gale and gently landed on the sea in front of Menma.
"Swish! Swish!"
Two figures burst forth from beneath the churning sea without warning! They moved so fast that they left only two blurry afterimages and streaks of water in the rain!
One man wielded a massive, menacing blade as wide as a door, its edge slashing viciously towards Mianma's neck! The other man held two strangely shaped, fanged swords in each hand, swiftly thrusting them towards the back of Mianma's knees!
The timing, angle, and coordination were all absolutely perfect!
however--
"Snapped!"
A soft sound.
Without even turning his head completely, Mianma casually raised his left hand, his palm precisely pressing against the massive blade that had slashed down to his neck!
There was no harsh, metallic clang; the slash was firmly blocked by a single palm, unable to advance an inch!
At the same time, he casually stepped forward with his right foot, landing squarely on the tips of the two swords that were aimed at his legs! The two swords were firmly under his foot, and no matter how hard their owner tried to pull them, they did not budge.
These two fatal attacks, enough to instantly kill a Jonin, couldn't even leave a single wrinkle on Menma's clothes.
Menma's gaze calmly swept over the two attackers who had suddenly appeared, their faces now showing undisguised astonishment, and the iconic ninja swords in their hands.
"I see……"
"Is there still Kurosuki Raiga, and also Juzo Biwa?"
"Lightning—let him rest in peace!!"
Seeing that their joint attack had failed, Raiga Kurosuki immediately poured all his Lightning Release chakra into his Lightning Blade, Kiba! The two swords clashed, unleashing a blindingly pale flash of lightning!
"BOOM—!!!"
A bolt of lightning tore through the rain and struck hard where Mianma was standing!
At the same time, Pipa Juzo had already retreated hastily, his hands forming a mudra.
"I have no grudge against you, but this is the mission! Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"
A white mist suddenly appeared from the sea surface, spreading rapidly and enveloping an area of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye! Visibility was completely cut off.
However, Mianma, who was in the center of the lightning strike, did not even try to dodge.
He allowed the devastating bolt of lightning to completely engulf him.
The blinding lightning dissipated, and water vapor rose.
Mianma's figure reappeared—
Unharmed.
Not to mention injuries, even his seemingly ordinary black robe was completely undamaged, without a single scorch mark or tear.
"..."
From within the mist, the sound of Raiga Kurozumi gasping for breath could be heard.
Menma stood quietly on the sea surface. Around him, a strange force field, invisible and intangible, yet capable of making one's soul feel "stagnant," was quietly spreading.
[Divine Art - Absolute Tranquility]
Originating from the power of the [Star Eye], it connects with the origin of the universe. It represents the planet within Menma's body, located at the edge of the solar system, possessing the most extreme low temperatures and violent storms in the universe, symbolizing "isolation" and "absolute stagnation".
The [Star Chakra] bestowed by Neptune.
This technique creates a microscopic "energy stillness field" on the user's body.
Any energy form that attempts to invade this domain—whether it be ninjutsu, chakra impact, or purely physical attack—will have its internal molecules or atoms forced to slow down until they come to a complete stop, thus losing all kinetic energy and destructive power.
Simply put, it means absolute immunity to ninjutsu and taijutsu.
The power of the stars allowed Naruto to step into a realm that transcends the Six Paths.
Throughout the solar system, every planet bestows a unique "divine art" upon travelers who resonate with the stars.
The only thing that frustrated Naruto was that whenever he mastered a divine technique, his "true name" would immediately appear in his mind like a brand, as if the planet itself was telling him that he didn't even have the chance to choose a cooler name for himself...
"Spiritual communication!"
A sharp shout pierced through the fog!
"roar--!!!"
Amidst a deafening roar, the silhouette of a colossal creature burst forth from the thick fog! It was an extremely bizarre monster, entirely pale, with fleshy wings on its back, its body appearing as if several ferocious animals had been crudely sewn together, exuding a chaotic and violent aura!
It wasn't one of the distinctive summoned beasts of the Six Paths of Pain, but rather something more like... artificially synthesized weapons.
"The Demon Sprout Technique... Was it the work of Hiruko?"
Menma's voice remained calm, carrying an assessive tone, "It seems that you [Akatsuki] have indeed recruited quite a few 'interesting' talents."
The stitched-together monster locked onto Menma, letting out a bloodthirsty roar. Its massive, mountain-like body, accompanied by a foul stench, swung its claws and charged towards Menma, who was smaller than its finger.
"Susanoo!"
Just as the giant claw was about to strike—
A towering, crimson half-body energy giant, its bones, muscles, and armor instantly taking shape, radiating a chilling and majestic aura of power!
Wearing an animal mask, Uchiha Shisui appeared in front of Menma, controlling the arms of the red Susanoo to forcefully withstand the overwhelming attack of the fused monster!
"boom--!!!"
The two enormous forces collided, and the shockwave violently pushed aside the surrounding seawater, creating a brief ring-shaped vacuum!
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Almost at the same time, a deep sound came from another direction.
Another figure appeared on the rocks in the sea not far away. A masked monster mysteriously "emerged" from behind him. The masked monster opened its mouth wide—
"call--!!!"
A raging hurricane erupted from its mouth! The wind pressure was so strong that it instantly dispersed the thick fog that covered the sea, sweeping it away completely!
