His body glowed again.
The wound begins to heal.
In just ten seconds, he was back to his original state.
"How could..." Sakura couldn't believe it, "Can such an injury be recovered?"
"Ōtsutsuki Clan's regeneration ability is beyond common sense." Wu said, "As long as their heads are still there, they can regenerate infinitely."
"Then how to kill him?"
"There is only one way." Wu said, "Kill him with one blow and destroy his head as well."
"Or..."
He looked at God Tree.
"Destroy God Tree."
"God Tree is the source of power for Otsutsuki. As long as God Tree is still there, they will continue to recover."
"But if God Tree is destroyed..."
"They will lose their ability to regenerate."
Kakashi looked towards the woods in the center of the battlefield.
"But how to destroy those tree roots?"
"I don't know either." Wu shook his head, "God Tree is one of the strongest creatures in the universe."
"To destroy it, you need power beyond the ordinary."
On the battlefield.
The huge Nine-Tails condenses Tailed Beast Bomb again.
This time there are two, aimed at Isshiki and God Tree respectively.
"Attack simultaneously?" Isshiki smiled, "Do you think I will give you a chance?"
He clasped his hands together.
"Sukunahikona·chain."
Hundreds of black cubes appeared out of thin air, shooting at Nine-Tails from all directions.
Nine-Tails waved his tail and knocked the cube away.
But there are too many cubes.
Moreover, they will automatically track, and after being shot away, they will change direction and continue attacking.
"Annoying." Nine-Tails roared angrily.
The Chakra on its body exploded, forming a protective shield.
The cube hit the protective shield and made a harsh sound.
"It's useless." Isshiki said, "Sukunahikona can penetrate all defenses."
"Really?" Nine-Tails suddenly laughed, "Then you have to watch."
Its body suddenly split apart.
From one Nine-Tails, there are nine.
Each Nine-Tails is half the size of the main body.
"Shadow Clone?" Isshiki was stunned for a moment.
"More than that." Nine Nine-Tails said at the same time, "This is Tailed Beast splitting."
"Each of us is an independent individual."
"Both have full power."
As soon as he finished speaking, nine Nine-Tails condensed Tailed Beast Bomb at the same time.
Nine huge black energy balls shot at Isshiki from different angles.
"Damn it!" Isshiki's expression changed.
His Daikokuten can only shrink one object at a time.
Facing nine Tailed Beast Bomb, he had no time to deal with them all.
"Yomotsu Hirasaka!"
The space crack opened and three Tailed Beast Bomb were swallowed.
"Sukunahikona!"
The black cube shot out and intercepted two Tailed Beast Bomb.
But there are four more.
"Wedge·Absorb!"
Isshiki forcibly activated the wedge and absorbed a Tailed Beast Bomb.
But he had no time to deal with the remaining three.
Boom boom boom!
Three Tailed Beast Bomb hit at the same time.
The horrific explosion engulfed Isshiki.
The entire battlefield was illuminated by the explosion.
The shock wave spreads and destroys all surrounding God Tree.
"This time... he should be dead, right?" Kakashi looked nervously.
The explosion lasted for a full minute.
When the smoke cleared, a huge crater appeared in the center of the battlefield.
The diameter of the hole is a full 500 meters and the depth is more than 100 meters.
Isshiki lies at the bottom of the pothole.
His body was in a state of disrepair.
All his limbs were gone, there was a big hole in his chest, and half of his head was blown off.
"Is it over?" Sakura asked cautiously.
"No." Wu shook his head, "Not yet."
"Look."
He pointed at Isshiki's body.
The broken body was glowing.
Faintly, but definitely glowing.
"He's still alive," Wu said, "And recovering."
Sure enough.
Isshiki's body begins to regenerate.
It's slow, but it's definitely recovering.
"How is this possible..." Kakashi couldn't believe it, "Half of his head was blown off!"
"Because God Tree is still here." Wu pointed to the distance, "Look."
Although most of God Tree in the distance was destroyed, the main trunk is still there.
And the main trunk is glowing, continuously delivering energy to Isshiki.
"As long as God Tree doesn't die, he won't die." Wu said, "This is the scary thing about Otsutsuki."
Nine Nine-Tails looked at the God Tree trunk at the same time.
"Then destroy God Tree first."
They rush towards God Tree at the same time.
But at this moment, God Tree suddenly moved.
Hundreds of branches extend from the main trunk and wrap around the nine Nine-Tails.
"God Tree is self-aware?" Naruto was surprised.
"It's not self-awareness." Wu said, "It's Isshiki controlling it."
"Although his body is broken, his consciousness is still there."
"He transferred his consciousness to God Tree."
Sure enough.
On the trunk of God Tree, the face of Isshiki appeared.
"Want to destroy God Tree?" Isshiki's voice came from the trunk, "Then you have to get through me first."
The branches grew wildly and entangled nine Nine-Tails.
Nine-Tails They struggled, but the branches became tighter and tighter.
"Damn it!"
"These branches are absorbing our Chakra!"
"And the absorption speed is getting faster and faster!"
The bodies of the nine Nine-Tails began to become smaller.
From fifty meters, to forty meters, to thirty meters...
"If this continues, we will be sucked dry!"
"Then let's go together!"
Nine Nine-Tails condense Tailed Beast Bomb at the same time.
But this time it was not shot out, but exploded in the mouth.
"Self-destruct!"
Boom boom boom!
Nine Tailed Beast Bomb exploded at the same time.
The terrifying energy blasted God Tree to pieces.
Isshiki's consciousness was also dispersed by the explosion.
"Successful!" Sakura shouted excitedly.
But the next second, her expression froze.
Because the wreckage of God Tree is being reorganized.
Those branches that were blown to pieces seemed to come alive and reconnected together.
In just a few seconds, God Tree returned to its original state.
"How could..."
"God Tree is immortal." Isshiki's voice sounded again, "It is one of the oldest living organisms in the universe."
"As long as there is some debris left, it can regenerate indefinitely."
"You can't kill it."
The nine Nine-Tails merged again and turned back into one.
But the aura of this Nine-Tails is obviously much weaker.
The continuous self-destruction just now consumed too many Chakra.
"Is there any other way?" Naruto gasped.
"Yes." Nine-Tails's voice rang in his head, "But the price is high."
"What can be done?"
"Sacrifice."
"Sacrifice?"
"Yes." Nine-Tails said, "Release all my Chakra at once."
"Creating an explosion beyond limits."
"An explosion of that magnitude is enough to destroy the origin of God Tree."
"But the price is..."
"I will disappear."
Naruto was stunned.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I will disappear." Nine-Tails said calmly, "The essence of Tailed Beast is Chakra."
"If all Chakras are released, I will disappear completely."
"There will be no rebirth."
"No!" Naruto shouted, "I don't agree!"
"There is no other way." Nine-Tails said, "Your Chakra is almost exhausted."
"Keep fighting and you will die."
"Then I can't sacrifice you!"
"Idiot." Nine-Tails smiled, "Didn't we agree?"
"We must protect this world together."
"Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."
