Chapter 151: Sealing Mōryō, Kimimaro And Haku’s First Battle!
“Miroku! Are you still going to stop me?!”
“Don’t forget! You and I were originally one!”
The roars from those eight snake heads simultaneously unleashed a substantial mental impact, slamming fiercely toward the shrine’s main hall!
Behind the hall door’s gap, Miroku bit her lower lip tightly, the blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth staining her collar red, while Shion behind her let out a terrified scream, her small body trembling like fallen leaves in the wind.
That thin barrier shield flickered wildly, on the verge of complete shattering!
Uzumaki Menma, standing in front of the barrier shield, had the hem of his dark red miko robe lifted by the roaring sound waves, flapping loudly.
However, the impact that could shatter a jonin’s spirit crashed into him, yet it was like hitting an invisible high wall; even the white three-eyed fox mask on his face didn’t shake in the slightest!
The hollow eye sockets calmly gazed at those eight pairs of vertical pupils filled with destruction and contempt.
Mōryō’s roar came to an abrupt halt.
The eight snake heads slightly reared back, and for the first time, bewilderment was clearly reflected in the molten gold vertical pupils.
This insignificant human… actually able to ignore its mental pressure?!
In the instant that Mōryō briefly lagged due to Menma’s anomaly!
“Attack!”
Uchiha Hikari’s cold voice was like a blade drawn from its sheath!
Her pair of Mangekyo Sharingan eyes rotating with complex patterns precisely locked onto Yomi below Mōryō, who was startled and uncertain due to Menma’s appearance!
“Ice Release: Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals!” A white, young yet firm voice rang out.
His hands formed seals as fast as illusions, and chilling coldness instantly erupted!
Countless tiny ice crystals wildly condensed and multiplied in the air, in the blink of an eye forming a crystalline labyrinth of countless smooth ice mirrors around him and Kimimaro!
Five dark medical ninjas who were about to pounce on Uchiha Hikari were caught off guard, instantly separated and trapped in various corners of the ice mirror labyrinth!
The mirror surfaces reflected Mōryō’s dark purple glow and the shrine’s blood-red light, creating a bizarre and grotesque spectacle.
“Damn it! It’s Ice Release! Break it!” A burly dark medical ninja with a ferocious knife scar on his face shouted in shock and anger, his hands rapidly forming seals.
“Earth Style: Earth Flow River!” The ground shook violently, and viscous mudflow crashed into the ice wall like a giant serpent!
“Wind Release: Suppression Harm!” Another lanky ninja spat out a highly compressed violent wind ball from his mouth, tearing through the air and bombarding another ice mirror!
“Fire Style: Majestic Dragon Fire Technique!” “Lightning Release: False Darkness!” “Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!”
Five jonin-level dark medical ninjas unleashed five elemental release techniques simultaneously!
Scorching fire dragons, violent wind balls, screeching lightning spears, roaring water dragons, impacting mudflows!
The five powerful chakra surges crashed fiercely onto White’s ice mirror labyrinth!
Rumble——!!!
The deafening explosion almost drowned out Mōryō’s hisses!
Ice shards and shattered chakra lights scattered and flew, and the intense charred smell, steaming water vapor stench, and muddy earth scent instantly filled the air!
White’s face instantly paled, his body swayed, the ice mirror labyrinth trembled violently, countless cracks spread, on the verge of collapse!
Maintaining such a large-scale technique while withstanding the full-force bombardment of five jonin was still somewhat taxing for him, who was still young.
“White!” Kimimaro’s cold voice pierced through the explosion’s roar.
In the instant the ice mirror labyrinth was about to crumble, his figure appeared like a ghost behind the burly ninja who had released Earth Flow River!
The speed was so fast that these dark medical ninjas were caught unprepared.
Kimimaro, with veins bulging around his eyes, spread his five right fingers wide; dozens of razor-sharp, metallic-glinting bone spikes emerged from under the skin of his palm like a blooming flower of death, instantly piercing through flesh with shrill sounds of air breaking, stabbing viciously toward the opponent’s back!
“Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!”
The dull sounds of bone spikes entering flesh rang out in succession!
The ferocious grin on the burly ninja’s face froze instantly; he looked down at the bloodstained white bone tips protruding from his chest, his eyes filled with incredulous shock.
He hadn’t even seen how the opponent appeared!
“The first.” Kimimaro’s voice was emotionless as he abruptly yanked his arm, pulling out a spray of warm blood rain.
The corpse crashed to the ground.
“Bastard!” The lanky ninja who released Wind Release had his eyes split with rage, his hands forming seals again as violent wind blades gathered in his palms!
“Ice Release Secret Technique: Thousand Killing Water Xiang!” White endured the dizziness from chakra backlash, his hand seals changing again!
Countless sharp ice senbon shot out like a torrential rain from the not-yet-fully-collapsed ice mirror fragments and from the condensing water vapor in the air, blanketing toward the lanky ninja!
The angles were tricky, sealing off all his evasion space!
The lanky ninja was forced to interrupt his Wind Release, dodging wretchedly amid the narrow ice mirror remnants, his windbreaker slashed with bloody marks by the sharp ice senbon.
“Kill that Ice Release user first!” Yomi roared in fury.
The ninja releasing Fire Style spat fire dragons from both hands, trying to burn through the obstruction and charge straight at White!
At this moment, Uchiha Hikari moved.
She didn’t even glance at that Fire Style ninja; she casually lifted her left hand, her slender fingers lightly pointing in the direction the fire dragon was coming from.
“Amaterasu.”
Black flames ignited silently in midair!
The roaring fire dragon crashed into the black flames, vanishing like mud ox into the sea without even a ripple, instantly devoured completely!
The Fire Style ninja’s pupils contracted sharply; that eerie black flame followed the fire dragon’s chakra trajectory like maggots on rotting bones, instantly spreading onto his body!
“Ah——!!!” A shrill, inhuman scream echoed across the battlefield!
The black flames burned silently on his body; no matter how he rolled, slapped, or even tried to save himself with Water Style, it was useless!
Flesh and bone rapidly turned to nothingness in the absolute black flames, leaving only a hair-raising charred stench.
In an instant, only a small pile of black ashes remained on the spot.
The terrifying power of the Mangekyo instantly intimidated the remaining three dark medical ninjas!
The madness on their faces was replaced by boundless fear, their movements showing fatal stiffness!
Kimimaro and White seized this fleeting opportunity!
“Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Camellia!” Kimimaro’s figure flashed like lightning; sharp bone blades pierced through his clothing from his arms, shoulder blades, knees, even spine, turning him into a high-speed spinning storm of death bone blades, instantly sweeping toward the two ninjas using Water Style and Lightning Release!
The Water Dragon Bullet’s defense was fragile before absolute speed and sharpness; the two ninjas only managed a short scream before being caught in the bone blade storm, turning into a shower of blood and minced flesh!
“Ice Release: Ice Rock Dome!” White slammed both hands to the ground, a massive ice wall erupting instantly, smashing the fleeing Yomi flying!
In the instant Yomi’s body was numb, countless sharp ice spikes violently extended from the ice wall, piercing and nailing her in midair!
Blood gushed down along the ice edges.
In mere breaths, Yomi and the five jonin-level dark medical ninjas were completely wiped out!
Battlefield core.
The confrontation between Menma and Mōryō also reached its peak the instant his subordinates erupted into battle!
“Roar——!!!”
Thoroughly enraged by Menma’s “disregard,” Mōryō’s massive dark purple chakra body churned violently, the eight snake heads simultaneously opening wide!
No longer roaring, but spewing eight streams of evil chakra flows condensed to the extreme, like viscous purple-black asphalt!
Wherever these chakra flows passed, they emitted corrosive “sizzling” sounds, even eroding deep grooves into the shrine’s hard blue stone slab floor!
The eight streams from different angles surged toward Menma and the fragile main hall behind him like world-ending floods!
With the momentum to completely devour and corrode this insignificant obstacle along with the last hope inside!
Menma still stood in place, the white mask appearing especially eerie under the reflection of Mōryō’s violent chakra glow.
His right eye hidden under the mask suddenly revealed scarlet three-tomoe, which then spun wildly, stretched, and deformed!
A terrifying power far deeper, more hegemonic, as if originating from the world’s source, erupted explosively!
“Tsukuyomi!”
Silent and soundless.
Mōryō’s massive, mountain-like dark purple chakra body suddenly stiffened!
The eight ferocious snake heads froze simultaneously, the violence and disdain in the molten gold vertical pupils instantly replaced by boundless horror and bewilderment!
The eight destructive chakra flows it spewed halted abruptly, like frozen waterfalls, stagnating and solidifying just meters from Menma!
In the depths of Mōryō’s consciousness, an entirely different, even more despairing world descended instantly!
Corpse mountains!
True, boundless corpse mountains!
Pile of countless twisted, broken, rotting corpses of varying degrees, stretching to the horizon of a massive battlefield!
Connecting to the similarly corpse-formed dark red sky!
Viscous blood plasma flowed like rivers through the gaps in the corpses, pooling into huge, bubbling blood pools.
The air was thick with nauseating, almost tangible stench of corpses and blood.
In the distant battlefield center, atop a corpse mountain piled with countless limbs, a dark red Nine-Tails Fox Demon sat like a throne, with a blood-red moon behind it; a spiky-haired boy lounged lazily on this throne, lifting his eyelids, his pair of Sharingan haughtily overlooking and scorning all beings!
While Mōryō, this monster that prided itself as the incarnation of destruction, was now like a tiny crawling insect nailed atop the corpse mountain blood sea!
An unimaginably massive malice locked onto it from every corner of this corpse world, from every rotting eye socket, from every drop of flowing filthy blood!
Not individual hatred, but the entire “world’s” rejection and killing intent!
As if the whole heaven and earth were roaring to crush it!
“No… impossible…!” Mōryō’s consciousness emitted a silent, distorted screech in the illusion world; its proud darkness chakra that could corrode everything was powerless in this world of pure malice and despair!
A primal, never-before-experienced fear coiled around its core like an icy venomous snake!
Real world, in front of the shrine.
Mōryō’s massive dark purple chakra body convulsed and writhed like a soulless shell, the eight snake heads twisting in pain, emitting silent hisses, unable to gather any more offensive chakra!
The evil fluctuations it emitted became chaotic and weak.
“Now! Miroku!” Menma’s icy voice thundered through Mōryō’s chaotic hisses and the battlefield’s lingering sounds of slaughter.
Inside the main hall, the miko Miroku, who had long been poised, erupted with resolute light in her eyes!
She bit her tongue tip sharply, spraying a mouthful of miko power-infused essence blood onto the already formed seals!
“Secret Technique Seal!”
