Naruto: I'm in Konoha, my name is Uzumaki Menma

Chapter 317 Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion VS Tailed Beast Ball

Kirabi's spiritual world, a lonely space that resembles a watercolor painting.

The enormous, mountain-like octopus body of the Eight-Tailed Gyūki was trembling slightly uncontrollably, its eight thick tentacles unconsciously curling and stretching, revealing its extreme inner turmoil.

Its eyes, through Killer Bee's perspective, were fixed on the boy outside who was enveloped in golden chakra, especially the golden eye on the boy's forehead that exuded an aura of majesty.

"Bee! There's no time to explain! Run!" Ushioni's voice echoed in Killer Bee's mind, carrying a deep-seated, instinctive fear: "Get out of here immediately! That guy... his form, and that eye... that's not an ordinary eye technique! Escape! Now! Immediately!"

It even used the word "escape," which is hard to imagine coming from the mouth of the Eight-Tails, the second strongest of the nine tailed beasts.

The vague memories of the Sage of Six Paths and his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, were subtly stirred by the appearance of the boy before him, transforming into the most primal warning and fear.

“Ox-demon, what are you talking about? That kid…” Killer Bee asked anxiously in his mind, unable to understand why his companion was so terrified.

The opponent's strange repulsive force attack and flight ability are somewhat troublesome, but they shouldn't have caused the bull demon to lose his composure like this, right?

However, just as Killer Bee was trying to clear his mind, the outside world trembled!
With the aid of the Tenseigan Chakra Mode, Menma's speed has surpassed the limits of ordinary ninja's dynamic visual capture!

No afterimage, no warning!
The fourth generation Ai only felt a slight flash of golden light before his eyes, and the boy who was originally standing more than ten meters away suddenly appeared directly in front of him!

The distance between the two instantly disappeared, and he could even clearly see the indifferent lines in the golden reincarnation eye on the other's forehead!

"What?! So fast!!" Ai's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and the hairs on his body stood on end in that instant!

This sheer speed even made his signature Lightning Release Chakra Mode seem sluggish!

His lightning chakra instinctively wanted to burst and accelerate, but his brain's commands couldn't keep up with the opponent's movements!

Menma's movements were simple and fluid. He didn't even bother to use his hands. He simply raised his right foot seemingly casually and unleashed a lightning-fast whirlwind kick, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, which slammed into Ai's chest, which was covered in lightning armor!

boom--! ! !
A deep, muffled bang that sent chills down your spine exploded!

Ai felt an overwhelming force, like a flash flood, surge into his chest. The blue lightning around him shattered and vanished like fragile glass in the face of this force!
His once-proud defense proved utterly vulnerable to this seemingly effortless kick!
"Ugh!"

Ai let out a short cry of pain, and his burly body shot backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string!

The speed was so fast that it even produced a piercing sonic boom!
"Big Brother!!" Killer Bee finally reacted, letting out a roar of shock and anger. But he didn't even have time to reach out to help, and could only watch helplessly as A's figure crashed into seven or eight towering trees along the way like a cannonball, each requiring several people to encircle it!

Rumble——!
A series of loud crashes as trees snapped accompanied by billowing smoke and wood chips. Ai finally crashed heavily into the depths of a ravaged forest, the smoke and dust filling the air, his fate unknown.

"Big brother—! You damn bastard~! Unforgivable~!" Killer Bee stared in the direction where A had disappeared, his eyes behind his sunglasses instantly turning bloodshot. He roared in a rap-like voice, his anger and fear of his companions intertwined, causing him to lose his mind in an instant!
"Oni~~ Yo~ I don't know~ why you're so afraid! Yo~ but now we must fight~ give me your power~ yo~ all of it!" Killer Bee roared in the mental world.

The Eight-Tails knew that retreat was no longer an option. Suppressing its fear, it transferred its surging tailed beast chakra to Killer Bee without reservation: "Bee! Watch out!"

boom--!
Dark red tailed beast chakra, brimming with a violent aura, erupted from Killer Bee's body like a volcanic eruption!
His body began to undergo obvious changes: his skin turned deep red, his teeth became sharp, and with a "bang," eight tails made of pure chakra unfurled behind him, dancing wildly!

He entered a semi-tailed beast state, and his chakra reserves and physical functions were terrifyingly enhanced!

"Awooo—!" Killer Bee let out a strange, inhuman roar, and pounced on Menma with all fours like a mad beast, carrying an aura of destruction!

It moved so fast that it left a red afterimage in its place!

Despite facing the menacing Killer Bee in his half-tailed beast form, Menma remained calm and composed.

He didn't even fully activate the Tenseigan Chakra Mode; he simply relied on his speed and reaction time, which far surpassed his opponent's, to easily dodge Killer Bee's storm of claw and tail attacks as if he were strolling in a garden.

Dark red chakra claws tore through the air, but always narrowly missed Menma's clothes; the raging chakra tail lashed the ground like a giant whip, blasting deep craters, but couldn't even track Menma's movements.

After several exchanges, Menma seemed to find it a bit boring.

He made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a jet-black rod, about half a meter long and with an incredibly smooth surface, appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This black rod appears plain and unadorned, yet it exudes a chilling and sinister aura.

Just as Killer Bee lunged forward with his claws again, Menma flicked his wrist, and the black rod shot out like a venomous snake, striking Killer Bee's chest, which was covered with tailed beast chakra, with perfect accuracy!

laugh--!
There was no earth-shattering noise, only a sound like a red-hot iron being plunged into cold water.

Kirabi's momentum came to an abrupt halt!

He felt an extremely cold and highly disruptive force instantly penetrate the tailed beast's chakra protection and invade his body, causing the flow of chakra throughout his body to stagnate, as if the circuit had been instantly cut off!
Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force erupted from the point of contact between the black rods!
"puff--!"

Killer Bee coughed up a mouthful of blood. His dark red half-tailed beast body was sent flying back at an even faster speed than when he arrived, crashing heavily into the ground and carving a deep trench tens of meters long before finally coming to a stop. The tailed beast chakra on his body had dimmed a bit.

On the other side, the Konoha members were already watching with trepidation.

Akimichi Toudou's eyes widened, he breathed heavily, his palms sweating as he gripped the iron rod: "Wow...that was fast! Minato, did you see what he was doing just now?"

He considered himself to be quite skilled in physical combat, but in the face of that speed, he felt like a clumsy wooden stake.

Inuzuka Jaw, half-crouching, tightly embraced Daimaru, the ninja dog who was prostrate on the ground, whimpering in fear as he sensed the terrifying aura of the Eight-Tails and Menma. His face was pale as he asked, "Minato, was he using... a space-time ninjutsu? Or was it just pure taijutsu speed?"

If it's the latter, that would be absolutely terrifying.

Minato Namikaze slowly shook his head, his azure eyes filled with unprecedented solemnity. He stared intently at the relaxed-looking boy holding a black rod in the arena and said in a deep voice, "It's not a space-time ninjutsu; it doesn't have that unique spatial fluctuation."

"This is... pure speed and physical reflexes. Even if I used the Flying Thunder God Technique at full power to teleport, at such close range, I would probably have a hard time keeping up with his pace." He had to admit that in the realm of absolute speed, he had met an unimaginable opponent.

Just then, a violent coughing sound came from the dust cloud kicked up by Ai.

The fourth-generation Ai, with his clothes tattered, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and a noticeable dent in his chest, staggered out of the ruins.

He saw Killer Bee being sent flying by a single blow, and his eyes were instantly filled with raging fury and fighting spirit!
"Bi!" A roared, ignoring his severe injuries, and forcefully activated his chakra once more!
"The strongest lightning armor!"

A more dazzling and violent blue lightning burst forth from his body than before!

He pushed the Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the limit he could currently withstand!

He will use his strongest attack to avenge Killer Bee and restore the dignity of Kumogakure!
"Thunder-torture level Chiyomai!"

Ai roared, his body shooting into the sky like a cannonball, leaping into the air, highly compressing all his lightning chakra and concentrating it on his right hand, forming a dazzling lightning hand blade that seemed capable of cutting through everything!

Then, like a swooping thunder eagle, with an indomitable and all-crushing momentum, he slashed down fiercely at the hemp seedlings on the ground! This strike was a culmination of all his strength and will!

Faced with this deadly attack that would make even ordinary Kage-level experts avoid its edge, Menma merely raised his eyelids slightly.

He didn't even make any dodging motion; he simply casually held the seemingly inconspicuous black stick in his hand horizontally upwards.

clang--! ! !
A deafening, metallic clang that sounded nothing like the clash of flesh and blood exploded!
It was as if two divine weapons were clashing violently!

Ai Zhi's determined chop landed heavily on the thin black rod!

The anticipated scene of the black rod breaking and the opponent being split in two did not occur.

On the contrary, Ai felt as if she had struck a steel plate!
That little black stick didn't move an inch!

Not only that, but an extremely strange force instantly rebounded from the point of contact, causing his entire right arm to become numb and lose sensation, and also causing the lightning chakra surging within his body to become chaotic and almost out of control!

"How is this possible?!" Ai's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

"My lightning-severing level, Chiyo Mai... was actually... what kind of weapon is this?!"

He couldn't understand how there could be such a hard weapon in the world that could also interfere with chakra.
Could it be the Six Paths Ninja Tools?
Just as Ai Xin was terrified and his old strength was exhausted while new strength had not yet arisen, Killer Bee, who had been knocked away, struggled to stand up again.

Seeing his elder brother's attack easily blocked, he was both anxious and furious. Without further hesitation, he suddenly opened his blood-red maw, which had been formed after his half-tailed beast transformation!
The Yin-Yang attribute Charak began to gather and compress wildly in his mouth, and a blackish-purple sphere containing destructive energy rapidly took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Tailed beast jade!
"Oh no! It's a Tailed Beast Ball! Everyone, retreat immediately!" Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted a warning!

An attack of this magnitude would be enough to wipe this forest, along with them, off the map!
For some reason, perhaps sensing that this mysterious boy wasn't purely an enemy, Minato, while warning his companions to take cover, inexplicably shouted at Menma, who was still standing there, looking up at the Tailed Beast Ball taking shape: "Watch out! That's a Tailed Beast Ball!"

Seeing this, the Fourth Hokage A's eyes flashed with a fierce glint. He endured the numbness in his right arm and the disordered chakra within his body, and used his remaining left arm and legs to hold Menma's body and legs tightly like iron clamps, roaring towards Minato's direction: "Don't even think about escaping!"

Menma glanced down at Ai, who was clinging to him tightly. Instead of panicking, a slightly mocking smile appeared on his face: "Escape? Who wants to escape?"

Before he could finish speaking, that familiar, despairing, invisible repulsive force erupted once again, centered on him!
"Shinra Tenzheng!"

boom!
The fourth-generation Ai, who was clinging to him tightly, was struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was thrown back again, crashing into a pile of rocks in the distance, where he fell silent for a moment.

At this moment, the Tailed Beast Ball in Killer Bee's mouth had been fully formed!
The dark purple sphere emanated a destructive aura that sent chills down one's spine!
"Die! You bastard! You idiot!" Killer Bee roared, unleashing the Tailed Beast Ball that had been formed!

The dark purple sphere, with a trajectory of destruction, shot towards Mianma with a deafening roar!

Faced with this terrifying attack that could destroy a mountain, Menma's expression finally became slightly serious.

He slowly raised his right hand, and a jet-black jade pendant floated lightly in his palm.

The golden Tenseigan on his face and forehead suddenly burst forth with a light as brilliant as the sun!

A massive amount of Tenseigan chakra surged wildly into the Truth-Seeking Ball in his palm!

"Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion".

Mianma spoke softly, as if announcing some kind of divine punishment.

The Truth-Seeking Ball in his palm instantly changed shape, extending and reshaping into an enormous, golden, and dazzling chakra lightsaber that seemed to be made of pure light energy!

The lightsaber emanated an aura of destruction, its power even surpassing that of the Tailed Beast Ball that was hurtling towards it!

Just as the Tailed Beast Ball was about to hit him, Menma, holding a huge golden lightsaber, simply swung it down at the blackish-purple sphere of destruction!
A brief moment of silence.

Before everyone's shocked eyes, the Tailed Beast Ball, containing the immense chakra of the Eight-Tails and powerful enough to destroy a large city, was cleaved apart from the center of the golden lightsaber by an even stronger force the moment it came into contact with it.

The Tailed Beast Ball, now split open, lost its stability, and the violent energy inside instantly went out of control, causing a massive explosion!
Boom boom boom——!!!!

The terrifying shockwave from the explosion swept outwards like a tsunami, instantly leveling all the trees and rocks within a radius of nearly a kilometer!
The scorching heatwave and blinding light engulfed everything!
However, this devastating explosion could not shake the golden lightsaber in the slightest!
The golden lightsaber, like a divine weapon that cleaves through ocean waves, forcefully carved a straight, vacuum-like passage through the core of the explosion!

Undeterred by its momentum, carrying an aura of annihilation, it continued to slash at Killer Bee, who was dumbfounded by the destruction of his Tailed Beast Ball!
At the critical moment of life and death, the Eight-Tails Gyūki inside Killer Bee let out a desperate roar, releasing all its chakra with all its might!
"Roar--!!"

A gigantic eight-tailed demon with octopus tentacles and a bull's head appeared on the battlefield in an instant!

It used its largest body to block the golden lightsaber!

laugh--!
Like a hot knife slicing through butter.

The golden lightsaber sliced ​​through the massive body of the fully-formed Eight-Tailed Gyūki without any hindrance!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The raging shockwave of the explosion slowly subsided, and the lingering smoke and dust gradually dissipated, leaving a terrifying straight line cut through the forest.

Ai struggled to lift his head from the pile of rubble. When he saw the scene in the center of the battlefield, his pupils instantly lost focus, and he let out a heart-wrenching, tearful scream: "Bi—!!!"

In the distance, Minato Namikaze, Touya Akimichi, and Agito Inuzuka, who had already retreated to a safe area, all stood frozen in place, their faces filled with indescribable horror.

In the center of the battlefield, the enormous eight-tailed ghoul was slowly splitting apart, transforming into primordial chakra specks that vanished as quickly as a candle flickering in the wind.

Where the Eight-Tails had originally stood, Killer Bee coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

On his chest, a gruesome wound stretched from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, almost splitting his entire body diagonally open!

The wound was so deep that the bone was visible, and one could even vaguely see the damaged internal organs and broken ribs. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground beneath him red.

His eyes were closed, his face was ashen, and his breath was extremely weak.

Menma considered that the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion was too great and would cut the entire ninja world in two, so he did not use six Truth-Seeking Balls to condense the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion like Toneri in the movie. However, the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion with only one Truth-Seeking Ball was already terrifying!
If it weren't for the Eight-Tails Gyūki forcibly transforming into its complete form at the last moment, using its massive body and chakra to shield Killer Bee from most of the power of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, Killer Bee would have been completely vaporized by now, leaving no trace of his body.

Ai rushed forward without hesitation, kneeling beside Killer Bee. His hands trembled, yet he dared not touch the horrific wound. For the first time, he felt the pain and fear of helplessness so clearly, and could only scream his brother's name over and over again: "Beetle! Bee! Hold on! You have to hold on!"

Meanwhile, Menma, the instigator, hovered quietly in mid-air, his golden chakra still dazzling. The Tenseigan in his forehead indifferently looked down at the human tragedy below, as if the earth-shattering sword strike just now was nothing more than a casual act of crushing an ant.

In the forest, only Ai's mournful cries echoed across the ruins of the battlefield.
