Ōtsutsuki Hamura's expression finally changed:
"You—! This is a time-manipulation spell?! You're insane—!!"
His voice grew fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely.
Everything within the forbidden area of Giant Tenseigan was regressing at a visible speed—
The shattered ground returned to its original state, the scattered pebbles flew back to their original positions, and the dust in the air reformed...
Time is flowing backward.
Uchiha Jun felt a momentary dizziness, as if he had been drawn into an invisible Uzumaki Clan.
When he opened his eyes again--
Standing at the entrance to the forbidden area!
"Ha, old man, now the tables have turned!"
Uchiha Jun looked at the Giant Tenseigan of Chakra Ōtsutsuki Hamura far away, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
The next moment, Uchiha Jun clasped his hands together.
In an instant, a high concentration of Natural Energy surged into his body like a tidal wave, and mysterious black patterns appeared on the surface of his skin.
Then, he raised his hand and pointed to the ceiling—or rather, to the Giant Tenseigan suspended above the core of the moon.
--Immortal Technique: Five Elements Canopy!
Without any hesitation, Uchiha Jun unleashed a powerful attack, securing victory!
boom--!
The Chakra of the five elements condensed in the air into a huge five-colored canopy, carrying destructive power, and crashed down on the Giant Tenseigan above the library!
"What?!"
The moment Ōtsutsuki Hamura's Chakra phantom appeared, it crashed head-on into the overwhelming five-colored canopy!
His Chakra had not yet fully coalesced, making him most vulnerable at this moment.
The Five Elements Canopy crashed down like five mountains, severing a small portion of the Chakra connection between him and the Giant Tenseigan!
"Click--!"
"Damn brat!"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's face turned ashen; he could feel that nearly 40% of his Chakra source had been worn away.
What alarmed him even more was that the timing, angle, and power of Uchiha Jun's attack were so precise that it didn't seem like a probing attack at all; it was more like—
It was as if they knew he would show up here!
What on earth is going on?!
Immediately afterwards, Ōtsutsuki Hamura began to weigh the pros and cons. If he were in his 'prime', he was confident that he could use the terrain advantage to trap and kill Uchiha Jun in this temple and preserve the Giant Tenseigan!
But now that he has been hit by the Five Elements Canopy, his Chakra has been reduced by more than 30% in an instant, making him no match for Uchiha Jun at full power!
Should we destroy the Giant Tenseigan before Uchiha Jun makes a move?
The thought had barely surfaced when...
At the same time, Uchiha Jun did not give Ōtsutsuki Hamura any more time to think.
He decisively pulled out a jet-black sphere covered with sealing runes from his pocket and hurled it at Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
"I've chosen you!"
"Take it!"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura instinctively caught the sealing sphere, but the moment his Chakra touched its surface, his expression drastically changed—
" Ōtsutsuki Clan... withered?!"
Inside the sealing sphere, the complete soul, Chakra Ōtsutsuki Kuru are sealed!
It is the perfect vessel for him!
Ōtsutsuki Hamura originally planned to destroy the Giant Tenseigan directly, taking Uchiha Jun and the entire library down with him.
But at this moment, holding Ōtsutsuki Kuru's sealing sphere, a more "cost-effective" thought suddenly welled up in his mind—
Possessed by a demon, possessed by Ōtsutsuki Kuru!
In other words, he felt he could still steam!
"Hahahaha--Kid, you're asking for it!"
A crazed glint flashed in Ōtsutsuki Hamura's eyes. "Since you've offered such a generous gift, then I won't be polite!"
He slammed the sealing ball against his chest, Chakra phantom seeped into the sealing ball like liquid, merging with the flesh of Ōtsutsuki Kuru inside.
Uchiha Jun stood still, quietly watching this scene, the smile on his lips growing more pronounced.
"Possession complete?"
His voice carried a hint of mockery.
" Ōtsutsuki Hamura, do you feel... that your body seems a little lighter than last time?"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura —or rather, Ōtsutsuki Hamura who was possessing the body of Ōtsutsuki Kuru Otsutsuki—suddenly narrowed his pupils.
He definitely felt it!
Taking that Five Elements Canopy head-on had severely damaged his Chakra source. Originally, by forcibly possessing the body of Ōtsutsuki Kuru, he could maintain at least three minutes of " Six Paths Level combat power, but now—
He looked down at his hands, feeling the noticeably weak amount of Chakra within his body.
Let alone the Six Paths Level, he is at most 20-30% stronger than Ōtsutsuki Kuru in his original state!
"That brat really did something wrong..."
Ōtsutsuki Hamura remained silent for a moment.
He glanced at the Giant Tenseigan above his head, then at Uchiha Jun in front of him, and finally made his decision—
"The forbidden area is too small; you can't unleash your full power, kid. If you've got the guts, come to the surface of the moon!"
With that, he flashed and transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the dome and flying towards the surface of the moon.
Uchiha Jun stretched his limbs, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.
"Just what I wanted."
Before leaving, Uchiha Jun didn't forget to instruct Orochimaru and Hiruko study and protect the Giant Tenseigan inside the temple.
" Orochimaru, Hiruko, you two deal with this Giant Tenseigan here. I'll handle this old bastard!"
"Yes, Jun-kun! Although this request is a bit excessive, please preserve the soul of Ōtsutsuki Hamura. After all, he is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths!"
Don't worry, I'll definitely stay if I have the opportunity!
"They're gone!"
On the lunar surface, on a desolate gray plain, two figures faced each other from afar.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura floated in mid-air, his body, which was attached to Ōtsutsuki Kuru Chakra, shimmering with a pale blue chakra.
With a raised hand, countless Chakra beads instantly condensed in the air, each containing enough power to destroy a mountain.
Uchiha Jun also flying in mid-air, facing off against Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
Unlike regular ninjas who need to refine their own Chakra, Uchiha Jun, after Sage Transformation, directly draws Senjutsu Chakra from the environment, and the amount he releases is less than the amount he receives.
It was practically a perpetual motion machine, so even after fighting a second battle against Ōtsutsuki Kuru and the Elder, Uchiha Jun was still in his prime!
At this moment, Uchiha Jun's Sage Transformation had been pushed to its limit.
Feeling the faint Senjutsu Chakra emanating from the lunar ground beneath his feet, he calculated the distance between himself and Hamura.
"Kid, you're very strong."
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's voice carried a rare hint of seriousness. "You have every reason to be proud that you could force this old man to use such a secret technique."
"But--"
With a sudden wave of his hands, the Chakra prayer beads rained down on Uchiha Jun like a storm!
"--That's all for now!"
Uchiha Jun's eyes narrowed, and he clasped his hands together.
--Sage Art: Water Release: Hard Whirlpool Tide!
This time, Uchiha Jun's Water Release was completely different from the normal version—with the support of Senjutsu Chakra, it instantly formed a high-speed rotating blue Uzumaki Clan on the surface of the moon.
Covering an area of several kilometers!
It swept all the Chakra beads into it in one fell swoop, and used centrifugal force to dissolve them one by one!
"What?" Ōtsutsuki Hamura frowned slightly.
He had assumed that Uchiha Jun's condition should have declined significantly after the two major battles.
But judging from the opponent's precision and fluidity at this moment, it hasn't declined at all; on the contrary—
In fact, the more they played, the better they got!
"The same power as his brother... no, he seems even stronger!"
"What's wrong? You're out of ideas already?" Uchiha Jun grinned. "Then it's my turn!"
--Sage Art: Storm Release: Yin Release: Chidori Current!
Countless dark blue lightning bolts burst forth from Uchiha Jun's palms, but this time, the lightning did not shoot directly at Ōtsutsuki Hamura. Instead, it snaked and crawled across the ground like living creatures, forming a huge lightning net that enveloped the ground beneath Ōtsutsuki Hamura!
"Ridiculous." Ōtsutsuki Hamura sneered, his figure teleporting in mid-air to escape the range of the lightning net.
But just as he was about to break free—
--Immortal Technique, Earth Release, Huangquan Marsh!
Uchiha Jun anticipated his movement trajectory and created a huge swamp below where he would land!
"Bang!"
With a deafening roar, the Yellow Springs Swamp exploded on the spot, and combined with the Lightning Release: Chidori Current, it enveloped Ōtsutsuki Hamura like a giant net!
Immediately afterwards.
--Immortal Technique: Lava Release - Lava River!
The scorching magma spewed from Uchiha Jun's mouth swept in like a tsunami, followed closely by!
A series of combos enveloped and burned the unsuspecting Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
"You bastard!"
"Bang--!"
A moment later, Ōtsutsuki Hamura burst out of the flames, his azure Chakra Cloak slightly disheveled.
A hint of apprehension crept into his eyes as he looked at Uchiha Jun.
This kid--
Their mastery and application of Chakra has reached an unbelievable level!
An ordinary ninja is considered good if they can skillfully use two types of Chakra, but if they can master three types, they can be called Elite Jonin.
This brat in front of me has already used four different elemental Ninjutsu —water, lightning, earth, and fire—in just a few exchanges, and he can use each one with ease. He can even combine them into powerful combo attacks with the help of Senjutsu!
What alarmed him even more was that Uchiha Jun had mixed several ninjutsu-type Ninjutsu Kekkei Genkai into these Ninjutsu—
Storm Release, Boil Release...
Even from this glimpse, it's clear that Uchiha Jun's understanding of Chakra had reached its pinnacle!
"It seems we can no longer hold back."
Ōtsutsuki Hamura took a deep breath, slowly raised his hands, and pointed his palms at the surface of the moon.
" Tenseigan - Hamura Stone Statue!"
Rumble--!
The lunar surface trembled violently, and countless cracks spread out in all directions from Uchiha Jun's feet.
Immediately afterwards, countless huge rock blocks began to rise from those cracks, gradually coalescing into a giant stone statue hundreds of meters high!
The statue's face bears a striking resemblance to Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and its entire body is covered in thick rock armor, radiating a pale blue light.
"Finally, they managed to get this thing out!"
Uchiha Jun looked up at the enormous creature, his eyes showing no fear, but rather a hint of excitement.
In the original work, this thing can elbow the Nine-Tails, and its strength is in no way inferior to that of Tailed Beasts. It is perfect for testing another self-created Ninjutsu!
Ōtsutsuki Hamura hovered on the statue's shoulder, his hands forming a hand Hand Seals, and the Tenseigan on the statue's chest suddenly lit up.
"Repulsive force!"
An invisible Repulsion Field suddenly spread out from the stone statue, completely blowing away the ground beneath Uchiha Jun's feet!
Uchiha Jun retreated rapidly, avoiding the direct impact of the repulsive force.
But as soon as he landed, he noticed that the gravity around him seemed to have subtly changed—
No, it's not a change, but rather that Ōtsutsuki Hamura is using the gravitational and repulsive forces of the Tenseigan to manipulate and extract the Senjutsu Chakra from the surface of the moon!
"You want to pull me out of lunar orbit?"
Uchiha Jun instantly understood Ōtsutsuki Hamura's intention. "To prevent me from absorbing Senjutsu Chakra, and then slowly wear me down?"
"Hmph." Ōtsutsuki Hamura's voice was cold; he did not reply.
The next moment, Ōtsutsuki Hamura suddenly waved his hand, and the Hamura Stone Statue's giant fist smashed down towards Uchiha Jun like a meteorite!
Uchiha Jun didn't take the punch head-on; instead, he dodged it with a quick movement.
boom--!
The statue's fist slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater tens of meters in diameter on the moon, with debris flying everywhere like cannonballs!
"Such speed." A hint of seriousness flashed in Uchiha Jun's eyes.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's combat experience was indeed far superior to that of Ōtsutsuki Kuru.
Although both are Tenseigan, Ōtsutsuki Kuru's use of Dōjutsu is more like a child wielding a precious sword, only knowing how to swing it wildly.
Ōtsutsuki Hamura, on the other hand, was a master swordsman, whose every strike was precisely aimed at vital points!
If it weren't for the "immortality" of Sage Transformation, Uchiha Jun might not have been able to gain the upper hand in the confrontation.
"But--"
A smile appeared on Uchiha Jun's lips.
"The stronger you are, the more interesting it will be to fight you."
Uchiha Jun took a deep breath and clasped his hands together abruptly.
--Sage Art: Super Black Gold Yamata no Orochi!
open!
Rumble--!!
Uchiha Jun's Chakra erupted like a volcano, and with the enhancement of Sage Transformation, his body began to undergo incredible changes—
Black Chakra lines spread across his body, moving and expanding like living things.
At the same time, Uchiha Jun's body rapidly grew larger, his bones cracking and popping, and his flesh proliferating wildly under the catalysis of Senjutsu Chakra!
In just a few breaths, Uchiha Jun had transformed into a colossal creature standing eight hundred meters tall!
Eight enormous snake heads grew from the sides of its shoulders, each tens of meters long, covered with black gold scales that shimmered with a cold, metallic light.
The snake's body coiled around the ground, and with a gentle flick of its thick tail, it leveled a small hill beside it!
" Ōtsutsuki Hamura... now let's see if your Gundam can take a beating..."
Uchiha Jun's voice emanated simultaneously from the eight snake heads, carrying a resonant quality that was both ethereal and majestic.
This Yamata no Orochi is completely different from the original version.
In the original version, Orochimaru's Yamata no Orochi Susanoo to the third stage of Susanoo, and with Orochimaru's support, it could barely hold its own against Itachi Uchiha in the fourth stage.
That Uchiha Jun version of the Black Yamata no Orochi is comparable to Madara Uchiha. It's even possible that at its full power, it could easily devour a True Several Thousand Hands attack that isn't in Sage Mode!
At this moment, each of the eight heads of this black-gold Yamata no Orochi has undergone specialized enhancement to varying degrees.
[Two specialized Senjutsu Chakra Extraction and Absorption Devices: Provides a continuous source of firepower support]
[Two specialized defensive and terrain-modifying techniques: Wind Release Ninjutsu capable of overpowering Orochimaru's full-force attack]
[Two specialized attacks, multi-stage firepower output: capable of uninterrupted high-intensity, continuous bursts of Snake Lightning Cannon with power equivalent to a mini version of the Tailed Beast Ball, while also capable of charging up and firing Five Elements Bullet with power equivalent to the Tailed Beast Ball ]
[Two specialized physical enhancement techniques: These techniques allow users to enhance their physical body using Senjutsu Chakra, transforming their originally bulky physique into one with astonishing speed and reflexes.]
Moreover, these specialized enhancements can be adjusted at any time according to the battlefield situation!
"Come on, Ōtsutsuki Hamura-- "
The eight snake heads simultaneously opened their blood-red maws, revealing ferocious smiles.
Let's have some fun.
The giant fist of the Hamura Stone Statue slammed down again, but this time, the black gold Yamata no Orochi no Orochi did not dodge.
The two snake heads, specialized in defense, suddenly rose, their neck muscles instantly hardening, like two giant shields to meet the punch!
boom--!
The fist collided with the shield, unleashing a deafening roar.
The shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact, creating a massive wave of debris on the lunar surface!
The fist of the Hamura Stone Statue was blocked!
"What?!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
His stone statue's punch was enough to blast a mountain into dust, but at this moment it was steadily caught by Uchiha Jun's two snake heads!
Moreover, there wasn't even a single crack on the black and gold scales on the surface of those two snake heads!
"That's it?" Uchiha Jun's voice was laced with sarcasm.
Immediately afterwards, the two snake heads, specializing in attack, opened their mouths wide, and a blinding light shone from deep within their throats—
"Celestial Art: Snake Lightning Cannon!"
Boom boom boom--!
Dozens of lightning beams, each with the power of a miniature Tailed Beast Ball, erupted from the snake's mouth like a torrential downpour, raining down on the Hamura Stone Statue!
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's expression changed, and he quickly manipulated the stone statue to cross its arms in front of it.
But the power of those Snake Lightning Cannon far exceeded his imagination—each shot that hit the stone statue would blast open a crater tens of meters in diameter, and rubble would fly like raindrops!
In just a few breaths, the Hamura Stone Statue was covered with countless pits!
Ultimately, the Hamura Stone Statue is nothing more than a collection of lunar rocks, capable of holding its own against Nine-Tails solely through the regenerative abilities granted by the Tenseigan.
"Damn it!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura gritted his teeth and activated the Tenseigan. The stone statue's repair ability began to take effect, and the pits healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
but--
Uchiha Jun's attacks showed no sign of stopping!
The two snake heads, specializing in firepower output, were like tireless turrets, spitting out Snake Lightning Cannon one after another.
Meanwhile, the other two snake heads, specializing in Senjutsu Chakra extraction, continuously draw Senjutsu Chakra from the air, providing a constant source of energy for the firepower output!
"OI! You can't even handle it after just a few minutes?" Uchiha Jun's voice was mocking. "What about the next one?"
The light emanating from the two fiery snake heads suddenly intensified, as they began to gather their power—
--Immortal Technique: Five Elements Bullet!
Buzz--!
Two enormous energy spheres, each over ten meters in diameter, slowly coalesced within the snake's mouth.
The surface of the energy sphere was filled with Chakra of the five elements, radiating a suffocating pressure!
Ōtsutsuki Hamura's expression finally changed.
--Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
Without hesitation, Ōtsutsuki Hamura activated the ultimate Dōjutsu of the Tenseigan, and a huge golden Light Sword condensed in his hand, slashing fiercely at the two Five Elements Bullet!
boom--!!!
The golden Light Sword and the Five Elements Bullet collided with a deafening roar!
A blinding white light instantly engulfed the entire lunar surface, and the violent energy shockwave blew away a layer of the ground within several kilometers!
Ōtsutsuki Hamura Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was indeed powerful, successfully slicing the two Five Elements Bullet in two.
but--
The two halves of the Five Elements Bullet that had been cleaved in two did not disappear; instead, they continued flying toward the stone statue, crashing into its chest and shoulders and blasting open two huge gaps!
The two giant arms also instantly disintegrated and broke apart, turning into a human stick.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Ōtsutsuki Hamura couldn't believe his eyes.
His Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion actually failed to completely neutralize the energy of those two Five Elements Bullet!
What terrified him even more was—
Uchiha Jun's severed snake head is now regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The two snake heads that had been severed by the Light Sword quickly grew new flesh and scales from their cuts, and were restored to their original state in just a few breaths!
"I said--"
Uchiha Jun's voice carried an almost manic excitement.
Let's have some fun!
In the ensuing battle, Ōtsutsuki Hamura experienced firsthand what "Western fighting style" meant.
Uchiha Jun's Black Gold Yamata no Orochi had absolutely no tactics involved; it was purely...
Suppressive fire! Suppressive fire! And more damn suppressive fire!
The Snake Lightning Cannon unleashed a torrent of attacks as if it were free, while the Five Elements Bullet were charged up and fired one after another. The two serpent heads, specializing in defense, acted like two giant shields, forcefully blocking all of the Hamura Stone Statue's counterattacks!
While Ōtsutsuki Hamura Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion could sever several of Uchiha Jun's snake heads each time, those severed snake heads could regenerate almost instantly and rejoin the battle!
"This brat... does he have unlimited Chakra?!"
For the first time Ōtsutsuki Hamura felt a sense of panic.
He had faced countless formidable opponents, but he had never seen this kind of fighting style before.
Completely disregarding defense, neither dodging nor evading, they're just going to fight you with firepower and attrition!
What made him even more desperate was that he discovered he couldn't win!
Although the Hamura Stone Statue possesses powerful restorative abilities, under Uchiha Jun's relentless bombardment, its repair speed is far outpaced by the rate of damage.
The statue's chest was blasted open with a large hole, its left arm was completely blown off, and its right leg was covered with dense cracks.
