Mental space.
The black, Sealing Spear was slowly withdrawn.
An extreme, malevolent killing intent filled the space.
Thump—
Sukuna's body squeezed out, but he didn't rush to take over Kagami Uchiha's body.
The towering, two-faced, four-armed god of war stands in opposition to Kagami Uchiha.
"Create a place where you are certain to die, so I can go out and help you repair your body..."
"You want to learn the Reverse Cursed Technique this way? Do you think you have enough time?"
Kagami Uchiha wore a faint smile.
"Practice is the best teacher."
"It's better to feel it myself than to listen to your nonsense."
Sukuna raised his head and said coldly, "Don't think that everything will go as you wish!"
"If I don't get out, your body will be destroyed."
"If you die, I will be freed from the seal."
"Don't worry, Sukuna, I will definitely take you with me before I die." Kagami Uchiha's smile remained unchanged.
Sukuna was a little irritated.
It was this attitude that he found extremely objectionable.
How can someone speak to me in such a superior manner!
"Kid... are you underestimating me...?"
Get closer, and you'll see endless ferocity in Sukuna's four eyes.
"We might as well die together. Do you think I'm afraid of dying?"
"Of course, that's also possible."
Kagami Uchiha's smile spread.
"Only..."
"It's just the risk of death. I'm not that naive to want to become stronger without taking any risks."
"Sukuna, choose. Do you want to die here with me?"
"Let's have a competition."
"Let's see the secret that I mastered the Reverse Cursed Technique first."
"You should first get used to the chakra and find a way to break through my seal."
A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the demon Sukuna.
"Kid, you really know me..."
"Just wait, I'd rather see your defeated expression than kill you."
"To make you understand..."
"My curse is far greater than yours!!"
——
——
Outside world.
The Nine-Tails' fierce chakra rippled outwards, and a terrifying aura spread.
The Kushina enveloping Kushina has already formed six tails, and a dense skeletal structure is taking shape.
Then...
Seven.
Eight.
Flesh and blood begin to weave.
"What... happened...?"
The sudden change prevented Jiraiya from completing the Cursed Technique.
Orochimaru, carrying Minato Namikaze, passed by and coldly shouted:
"Idiot, forget about it, let's get out of here first!"
"Something... something terrifying is about to emerge."
"I know without you saying it, Nine-Tails ..." Jiraiya said solemnly.
"Then I absolutely cannot leave! I must show my disciple what a handsome side of his master is like!"
"Orochimaru, you take Minato with you first. I need to figure out what's going on."
Jiraiya clasped his hands together and continued to accumulate chakra.
Snap!
Orochimaru slapped his hand away and roared:
"Idiot! I, as the Fourth Hokage, order you! Evacuate!"
"What's truly terrifying is the monster inside Kagami Uchiha's body!"
Jiraiya stared blankly at his hands, then turned his gaze to Orochimaru.
"You say..."
"What did you say?!"
Orochimaru's body brushed past, and a tiny, crystalline drop could be vaguely seen sliding down.
"The old man... may not be coming back..."
"Kagami Uchiha's behavior is also quite suspicious. I'm even certain that he betrayed Konoha."
"What we need to do now is preserve our strength to deal with the situation that follows!"
Orochimaru's face no longer held its usual gloom.
It was as if this venomous snake had undergone some kind of transformation at that moment.
Ōnoki and the Four-Tails Five-Tails reunited with the Raikage and the others.
"This... is the Nine-Tails?"
The group looked up at the ferocious and terrifying beast and were speechless for a moment.
Since the Nine-Tails was sealed away by Mito, it has never appeared in the eyes of the world.
Even Kushina only borrowed the Tailed Beast Chakra, and her Partial Tailed Beast Transformation form was similar to that of Jinchuriki.
This is also why Ōnoki initially mistook the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
Only...
This monster has begun to grow its ninth tail, its crimson chakra forming its outer skin.
This level of chakra...
"The Nine-Tails is the strongest of the Tailed Beast, without a doubt."
Killer B's voice changed its tone.
"Raikage, even you could never be his match."
"Moreover... his consciousness is currently overwhelmed by anger, and he is not accepting my signals at all."
"... You're the Eight-Tails?"
"It's me."
The Eight-Tails, having calmed its anger, spoke with a sense of tranquility.
Ōnoki gathered white light in his palm and said coldly, "Very good, my plan has worked. The Nine-Tails has indeed gone berserk!"
"Konoha even sent the Nine-Tails over, it's like a godsend!"
"Once the Nine-Tails kills that brat, we'll seal it away and kill the Jinchuriki Nine-Tails!"
——
Hatred filled the eyes of the Nine-Tails.
Looking at Kagami Uchiha in the black mist, he recalled that night decades ago.
It can't be wrong...
This is Uchiha Madara's eye power!
That man has returned!!
"Spot!!!!"
A deafening roar.
The shockwaves from the sound uprooted trees within a radius of several kilometers, and the earth was covered with cracks!
"I'm going to kill you!!!"
The enormous claws slammed towards the cloud of black mist, creating a hurricane!
The light in Ōnoki's hand dissipated, and he turned to look at Raikage.
"Let's get back somewhere further away first, then we'll talk."
That brat...
He really is the reincarnation of Uchiha Madara!
Surely Nine-Tails wouldn't mistake it!
Although Ōnoki had speculated about this, he was never certain...
Anyway, let's see how things go...
If all else fails, at least we can escape sooner.
——
——
The black mist suddenly exploded.
Clang!
The Nine-Tails fox's claws were held down by a monster's hand blade.
This monster, nearly ten meters tall, has no eyes on its head and four wings on its sides. It has a tail attached to the back of its head, and rudder-like wheels on its head and back.
An ancient sword blade was wrapped in bandages on his right arm.
Eight-Handled Sword Divergent Sila Divine General - Mahoraga.
The strongest Shikigami among the Ten Shadows Technique.
The blade that blocked the Nine-Tails fox's claws is called the Demon Subduing Sword.
Enveloped in a layer of positive Cursed Energy similar to that of the Reverse Cursed Technique, any Cursed Spirit struck by it will be reduced to ashes.
"Ineffective? As expected, you're not Cursed Spirit."
The voice is the same as Kagami Uchiha's.
Just by listening to the sounds, you can clearly tell the difference between the two.
Kagami Uchiha acts recklessly, but he can still sense the connection between them.
It's crazy, but it's not without calmness.
The owner of this voice is different.
Completely and utterly unrestrained.
Heaven and Earth.
I am the only one who matters!
The black mist completely dissipated, revealing black patterns all over 'Kagami Uchiha's' body, and his pupils returned to black.
Below one pair of eyes, another pair opened.
There was no obvious change in appearance.
How do you explain this...?
Looking at Kagami Uchiha, you can feel his contempt for you.
Sukuna...
They don't consider you one of their own kind at all.
Men, women, the elderly, children...
Disregard for equality.
Everything was just food.
The severed arm is woven with flesh and blood.
Sukuna is rapidly adapting to the power of chakra.
He is an all-around strongman, but if one had to name one outstanding talent...
That is the ability to comprehend.
"This body... is really..."
"It's really..."
"It's perfect!!"
Uncontrollable, maniacal laughter.
This feeling of exhilaration, of being able to do whatever I want...
It's even more perfect than my original physical body!
No wonder it's a legendary bloodline!
As expected of you, Kagami Uchiha!
He slowly raised his head and looked at the Nine-Tails.
Although I really want to fight you, this monster, to my heart's content...
The newborn hand formed a hand seal completely different from the Shinobi World Twelve Techniques.
"Sukuna, you can call me that."
"Nine-Tailed Demon Fox."
"Let me subdue you..."
"Domain Expansion..."
"The Malevolent Shrine"
