"…Enough…this is…enough!!"
"The Oniwaban—!!!"
At the bottom of the giant crater, accompanied by Urashiki's furious roar, the powerful and sinister Chakra aura at the bottom of the pit suddenly surged wildly, like a powder keg ignited.
Moreover, this newly emerging power was filled with a familiar, scorching aura—it was precisely the Nine-Tails Chakra he had just devoured and refined!
Urashiki held nothing back; he intended to use this ultimate power he had 'plundered'!
"Naruto! Retreat quickly!" Uchiha Sasuke instantly perceived the terrifying qualitative change and impending eruption of Chakra below, shouting sternly!
"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!"
From deep within the earth directly beneath Naruto and Sasuke! Accompanied by deafening roars and terrifying, earth-shattering vibrations, an unimaginably massive tail, entirely composed of hard rock and soil, suddenly burst through the ground and shot skyward!
It slammed towards the two, who had no leverage in the air, with an overwhelming force! Its sheer size covered almost all their evasion space!
Sasuke's eyes narrowed. He did not choose to dodge; instead, he channeled power into his kusanagi sword.
He met the incoming earthen giant tail with a diagonal slash!
"Swish—!!!"
The sword's edge sliced directly through the massive earthen giant tail, and shattered chunks of earth rumbled down like a landslide.
Using the recoil from that strike, the two unhesitatingly retreated at high speed, putting more distance between themselves and the bottom of the pit.
The moment they withdrew—
"Roar—!!!!!!!!!"
A massive roar suddenly erupted from the deep, smoke-filled crater!
A colossal, sky-obscuring figure slowly rose from the collapsed pit!
Within the smoke, the figure's outline was indistinct, but multiple wildly thrashing giant tails, a ferocious head, and a body as towering as a mountain... it was a silhouette every Konoha Ninja knew intimately, etched into their very bones!
When the smoke completely dispersed, the true form of that figure was fully revealed to the world—
It was a giant rock beast, nearly a hundred meters tall, like a moving mountain! Its entire body was composed of hard, cracked earth and stone, with red, magma-like Nine-Tails Chakra veins embedded at its joints.
Its head was ferocious, with jagged rock teeth in its gaping maw, and two violent, crimson Chakra flames burned in its eye sockets. Behind it, nine tails, made entirely of massive stones, thrashed in the air.
A creation born from the Fusion of Earth Release and Nine-Tails Chakra—the Earth Nine-Tails!
"Is this… a similar technique to what Momoshiki used back then?" Sasuke gazed at the behemoth, his expression extremely grim. He turned to Naruto, who was shining with golden light beside him. "Naruto, are you okay? We need to get serious now."
"Mhm!" Naruto nodded heavily, his eyes fixed on the earthen giant beast. There was no fear in his gaze, only a hint of offended rage. "Of course! Kurama's power isn't for this kind of guy to misuse. It's just a fake."
"A fake? Heh…" Urashiki, standing atop the Earth Nine-Tails, heard Naruto's words and let out a cold sneer.
"You foolish fellow! Do you think I chose this specific area as a battlefield for no reason?"
He slowly raised his mutated arm and slammed it down, seemingly pressing on the ground beneath him!
"Haaah—!!!"
With a low shout, the Chakra fluctuations instantly activated the 'things' buried there!
"Rumble rumble rumble—!!!"
Four terrifying Chakra streams, completely different in nature yet equally vast and chilling, simultaneously burst through the ground from the four cardinal directions of the battlefield—southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest—and surged wildly towards the sky!
Crimson, blood-like flame Chakra shot skyward, deep blue water Chakra roared and surged, green, violent wind Chakra howled and swirled, and blinding white lightning Chakra exploded with thunderous roars.
And these four vast Chakra streams, under Urashiki's control, rapidly intertwined and took shape!
"Roar—!!!"
The crimson flames condensed, forming a Fire Nine-Tails composed entirely of burning inferno, exuding a heat that could incinerate all things!
The surging water coalesced, forming a Water Nine-Tails composed entirely of rushing torrents, its body constantly flowing!
The green storm howled, forming a Wind Nine-Tails composed entirely of tearing hurricanes, its form blurry and moving at high speed!
The blinding white lightning exploded, forming a Lightning Nine-Tails composed entirely of raging thunder, with destructive electrical arcs leaping around its body!
Adding to the towering, mountain-like Earth Nine-Tails in the center... the Five Elements were complete! Five 'Pseudo-Nine-Tails,' each with a different attribute yet equally massive, ferocious, and exuding the violent aura of Nine-Tails Chakra, formed a pentagram, completely surrounding the minuscule Naruto and Sasuke in the center of death!
They roared skyward, their combined sound waves forming a destructive torrent that even made the clouds in the sky dissipate!
Urashiki stood atop the central Earth Nine-Tails, looking down at the two individuals like ants below, his golden Rinnegan filled only with absolute coldness and control.
"Now then… you two, try to… 'block a few' of them?"
