Nine-Tails Fights Gundam! The Final Strike!

The next instant.

"Snap--" The sharp teeth of that golden fox head pierced directly through the Mechanical Giant's arm, embedding deep within it, and the crimson light that had been flickering on the arm instantly dimmed into nothingness.

"Roar..." The Mechanical Giant seemed to feel pain, immediately letting out a deafening roar.

However, before it could even react.

The fox head lashed out violently, its terrifying power fully revealed in that moment, as if it intended to destroy everything in its path.

Bang! Pulled by the immense force on its arm, the Mechanical Giant stumbled forward involuntarily before crashing to the ground, kicking up countless clouds of dust that swept across the surroundings.

In the distance, Obito saw this, his Sharingan trembling violently, his face full of disbelief as he muttered: "What is this situation?! Could that golden fox head be...?!"

"Is it... the Nine-Tails?" Black White Zetsu swallowed hard, his voice laced with uncertainty.

Meanwhile, in the center of the battlefield's dust.

"Whoosh..." Naruto opened his eyes abruptly; the cyan pupils had vanished, replaced by crimson beastly slits that radiated endless killing intent.

At the same time, the golden fox head slowly faded away.

Naruto looked at the collapsed Mechanical Giant, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly into a nonchalant smile: "If this is all you have, then you aren't worthy of fighting my Husky!"

"Woof! That's right!" Kurama also chimed in from the inner space, flicking his tongue in agreement, his voice filled with disdain.

Seeming to sense Naruto's contempt.

"Roar, roar..." The Mechanical Giant suddenly let out an earth-shattering roar, its left palm sweeping toward Naruto's position with a gust of fierce wind.

The thick dust was instantly blown away by the force of the palm, revealing Naruto's figure.

Seeing this, Naruto's eyes remained completely calm.

Bang! His legs tensed and then exploded with power, launching his figure high into the air, his right hand lifting slightly before suddenly opening wide.

In a split second.

Boom--!

An intensely powerful crimson-gold light erupted from his body, suffusing the entire sky as if to dye the whole world gold, while a terrifying chakra pressure descended upon the scene.

Then, under the shocked gazes of Obito and Black White Zetsu.

Whoosh! Naruto's entire body was enveloped in crimson-gold flames, his short hair burning fiercely like fire as it surged upward, forming golden horns on both sides of his head, while six black magatama appeared on his chest and a golden cloak manifested out of thin air, draping over his back!

Every movement he made now seemed to contain the momentum to tear through the void.

And this, was none other than the Kurama Mode!

The strongest of the nine Tailed Beast powers!

Obito's pupils contracted sharply, and he said in disbelief: "He... he has actually mastered the Nine-Tails as well?!"

Obito felt his heart turn ice-cold at this moment...

Flying Thunder God plus Kurama Mode—if Naruto ever found out that he was the one who killed his parents...

Wouldn't that mean that as soon as he dropped his intangibility, he would be instantly killed the moment he showed his face!

Thinking of this, a cold, lethal intent flickered in Obito's eyes: "No, Uzumaki Naruto is too great a threat! Even if it means delaying the plan by a few years, I must coordinate with the Akatsuki to eliminate him!"

Obito finally realized the gravity of the situation and resolved to step in personally to wipe Naruto out!

Naruto, now back on the ground, sensed Obito's presence the moment he activated Kurama Mode and immediately let out a mocking laugh: "That ultimate simp is peeping again!"

However, the very moment Naruto's words fell.

Boom! Torrential blue flames erupted from the four limbs of the Mechanical Giant, its body launching into the sky from the ground, and after reaching a certain height, it dove back down, charging toward Naruto with a thunderous roar.

Such a massive entity diving from high altitude kicked up a storm of wind and waves, and the sheer power of its momentum was unimaginable!

Yet, seeing this, a playful glint flashed in Naruto's eyes: "The speed is decent, but the power is lacking!"

As he spoke, Naruto slowly extended both hands.

In an instant, Whoosh! Crimson-gold chakra surged from his arms, and amidst a series of tremors, it actually manifested into a pair of incredibly massive golden beast paws!

The moment the beast paws appeared, they slammed into the oncoming Mechanical Giant.

The two collided instantly.

"Snap--" With a crisp sound, the golden beast paws grabbed the Mechanical Giant's shoulders, forcing its diving body to a dead halt in mid-air!

Naruto happened to lock eyes with the Mechanical Giant.

"Snap--" The massive metal head emitted a roaring mechanical sound, its crimson eyes flickering with dazzling light, seemingly in disbelief that Naruto could withstand its momentum.

Naruto looked at it and said softly: "Sasori, you should be able to hear me now..."

However, before Naruto could finish his sentence.

The light in the Mechanical Giant's eyes grew increasingly brilliant and dazzling, like two burning suns, until it reached its peak.

The next moment.

Swish! Two intensely hot beams of light shot out from those eyes like fire dragons, carrying the power to pierce through everything as they blasted toward Naruto.

The surrounding air turned scorching hot in an instant!

Facing such a point-blank release at such close range, there was simply nowhere to hide!

The Mechanical Giant hadn't been feeling disbelief just now; it was clearly brewing this world-shattering beam of light!

At this very moment, that beam, capable of destroying the world, had already reached Naruto's face.

In this split second of life and death.

Whoosh! A massive golden stream of light tore through the void, colliding directly with the beam and forcefully reflecting it back.

Furthermore, it surged rapidly toward the body of the Mechanical Giant.

Seeing this, the Mechanical Giant decisively ceased the release of the beam, blue flames erupted from its limbs, and its massive frame immediately retreated from Naruto.

Only after it had moved away did the true form of that giant golden stream of light fully reveal itself!

It was actually nine colossal tails sprouting from Naruto's back, each one like a pillar supporting the heavens, radiating a terrifying aura that chilled the soul!

Naruto looked toward the Mechanical Giant and spoke, "That's not honorable! You're pulling a sneak attack again!"

However, the moment his voice fell.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong!" A glass panel on the chest of the Mechanical Giant began to flash, and at the same time, the flame of Sasori's Life Core at its brow dimmed slightly.

Seeing this, Naruto's face was full of suspicion: "Huh?! Is that a timer? Is it running out of energy?!"

As if to confirm Naruto's conjecture.

"Clack, clack—" The Mechanical Giant, like a dismembered beast, saw its torso and limbs instantly fall apart.

Immediately following, all parts except for the head rushed together rapidly, as if drawn by a magnet.

In an instant, a brilliant, dazzling white light illuminated the entire scene.

When the white light gradually dissipated.

A giant World-Destroying Cannon with a terrifying aura had emerged!

The remaining metal head was now burning with raging flames, and under the scorching heat, it transformed into a glowing sphere!

Then, under Naruto's astonished gaze, this sphere lunged into the muzzle of the cannon!

In a flash.

Whoosh—!

The entire cannon erupted with blue light as dazzling as the stars, the sphere at the muzzle shone brilliantly, and a powerful, extreme energy fluctuation surged continuously into the sphere!

The might of that sphere climbed steadily, the energy contained within increasing exponentially!

If fired, it would undoubtedly be a world-destroying blow!

Clearly, this was the final strike of that Mechanical Giant.

It was also Sasori's final art!

Naruto felt the might of the sphere and frowned slightly, but then he waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly: "Fine! Let me face this strongest strike of yours."

The moment the words fell.

Boom! A golden chakra pressure instantly soared from Naruto's body, lifting him into the air like a god, while the phantom of the Nine-Tails Demon Fox flickered in the void.

Then, in the next instant.

Rumble—

A complete Nine-Tails, its size reaching the heavens and earth like a beast tearing through the firmament, descended upon the ninja world with a power that shook the heavens and the earth!
