Chapter 343 Otsutsuki Toneri is dead

Ōtsutsuki Toneri roared, "You bastard, I don't have the Tenseigan, I don't!"

He opened his sunken eyelids, revealing dark, hollow eye sockets: "I'm blind, blind!"

Cixian sneered, "Blind man, a blind man without the Reincarnation Eye, go ahead and try to fool ghosts!"

"If you don't have the Tenseigan, where did all the Tenseigan power in your body come from?"

"You mere human bastard, you dare to deceive me, a pure-blooded Otsutsuki? You're a fool."

Ōtsutsuki Toneri was taken aback: "Ōtsutsuki? You're also a descendant of our ancestor?"

Jigen asked, "Was your ancestor Hagoromo or Hagoromo?"

Shigen flew into a rage: "You bastard! How dare you address our ancestor Hamura by his name?"

Jigen laughed: "Boy, I am not a descendant of Otsutsuki Hamura, but the ruler of his mother, Otsutsuki Kaguya."

"When I took control of this world, that kid Hamura hadn't even appeared yet."

"So, you didn't die unjustly."

Otsutsuki Toneri was even more enraged: "You bastard, how dare you slander our ancestor! Otsutsuki Kaguya was a demon sealed away by our ancestor, not his mother!"

Cixian: "Huh? It's only been a thousand years, and the rumors have become this outrageous?"

"Fine, I don't care if you believe me or not, just hand over the Tenseigan!"

Ōtsutsuki Toneri: "No means no. You're asking for death."

He raised his hands high, ignoring the pain in his body, to draw upon the power of the Tenseigan. His body was instantly enveloped by a gentle, light blue chakra, and he broke free from the constraints of gravity, slowly floating into the air.

Immediately afterwards, black Truth-Seeking Balls appeared around Otsutsuki Toneri's body, swirling around him.

When the ninth Truth-Seeking Ball appeared, Toneri lowered his raised hands and aimed them at Jigen, who was trying to kill him and steal the Tenseigan.

As Shiren locked onto Cixian, whose expression had drastically changed, the nine Truth-Seeking Jewels floating around him immediately gathered in his palm and instantly merged into one.

[Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion]

boom-!

The explosion, triggered by the Seeking Truth Ball, created a massive circular shockwave that instantly swept away everything within a radius of several thousand kilometers!

After the violent shockwave, a storm followed closely, destroying everything in its path.

The dense forest is like a rootless duckweed, each root breaking and drifting away with the wind.

The slightly undulating hills, as if cut by a scraper, quickly lost their soil, leaving only hard rocks.

Smaller boulders were blown away in their entirety, and houses in nearby villages in the Land of Fire crumbled into countless fragments the moment they came into contact with the storm.

Amidst the crackling and shattering sounds, everything was ravaged by the storm, reduced to broken fragments that collided with each other, producing a variety of noises.

This even included a large number of villagers' corpses and remains.

The entire battlefield was originally a beautiful landscape, like a landscape painting in a long scroll. However, under the sweep of [Silver Wheel Rebirth Explosion], it was as if it had been wiped clean by an eraser, leaving only a blank space in the blink of an eye.

Having already rewritten the map, Ōtsutsuki Toneri roared, "Not enough! Still not enough!"

Clearly, he had no intention of giving up.

Although he had razed the entire battlefield to the ground, in his perception, the strange monster's chakra fluctuations remained clear and concentrated, and it seemed unharmed.

Otsutsuki Toneri was already feeling the pain in his body, but he gritted his teeth and desperately absorbed and output the power of his Reincarnation Eye to maintain the attack of [Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion].

Until a sharp pain struck, causing Otsutsuki Toneri's vision to go black, and he involuntarily severed his connection with the giant Tenseigan.

But this time the pain wasn't caused by the power of the Reincarnation Eye; it was because someone approached him and punched him hard in the chin.

His body, modified by the giant Tenseigan, was very strong. The pain and dizziness disappeared in a very short time. Otsutsuki Toneri lowered his head and saw the third person who had attacked him.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

Xia Zuo said expressionlessly, "In my country, you recklessly unleashed extremely powerful forbidden techniques, even killing an entire village."

"You actually asked me why I hit you?"

"I shouldn't have hit you, I should have killed you."

Jigen, who had been sent flying far away, flew back. He had already revealed his disguise and was now in the form of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Upon seeing Xia Zuo, he exclaimed in surprise, "Fifth Hokage Xia Zuo, you arrived so quickly?"

"So it was you, Otsutsuki Isshiki." Xia Zuo said expressionlessly, "You intercepted Otsutsuki Toneri on the way, trying to steal his Tenseigan?"

"Hehe, this will disappoint you. His Reincarnation Eye is very, very big, it can't fit into the eye socket at all, and it's not even on his body."

Ōtsutsuki Toneri & Ōtsutsuki Isshiki: "How do you know all this? Who are you?"

Xia Zuo raised his hand and pointed it at the two of them: "If you ask me, you don't have time to care about intelligence right now. What you should care about is your own lives."

"Blind man! Useless man!"

[Chakra Energy Bullet] 2

Two glowing energy projectiles shot out from Xia Zuo's palms, rapidly attacking the two.

Faced with two Kage-level powerhouses, Xia Zuo abandoned ninjutsu and instead attacked with Saiyan Xia Zuo's fighting techniques.

Because both of these monsters possessed a significant portion of the Six Paths level abilities, the use of chakra in ordinary ninjutsu was more like feeding them than attacking them.

Xia Zuo himself also needs to possess Six Paths level power, such as the Nine-Tomoe Wheel of Reincarnation, and the newly awakened Tenseigan and Shikotsumyaku.

However, he developed all three bloodline limits himself and did not inherit the techniques that were ingrained in the genes of the Otsutsuki clan. He lacked decisive offensive power, and his two eye techniques and bone attacks were actually inferior to the Saiyan's fighting skills.

In fact, this is the correct trend. Ninjutsu has mysterious and unpredictable abilities, but its direct attack power ceiling is not high. As power increases, offensive ninjutsu will eventually replace the fighting techniques of the Dragon Ball world.

Xia Zuo's strategy was very correct. The strong chakra fluctuations of the two [Chakra Energy Bullets] deceived Shinobu and Isshiki, making them mistakenly believe that this fireball-like thing had a chaotic structure, which was why it emitted such strong fluctuations.

As a result, the two of them coincidentally used the chakra absorption technique in an attempt to absorb this seemingly ordinary technique, and then they were hit hard by the energy blast.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body was pierced with a large hole, and his whitened internal organs and blood were spilled all over the ground.

Even more astonishingly, because his attack failed, the bag of fine sand at his waist suddenly expanded as it fell, turning into all sorts of random junk.

Otsutsuki Isshiki was buried under his own collection and couldn't break free for a while.

On the verge of death, Otsutsuki Isshiki was actually weaker than Otsutsuki Toneri in terms of raw strength. The reason he was able to overpower Toneri before was because he had better combat skills, more combat experience, and more unpredictable and difficult-to-defeat techniques.

Now, facing the even stronger Xia Zuo, and confronted with unfamiliar combat techniques that he neither understood nor could control, he naturally faltered.

On the contrary, after Otsutsuki Toneri's Chakra Absorption technique was shattered by the Chakra Energy Bomb, a bright blue energy barrier automatically appeared, which briefly blocked the energy bomb, giving him a chance to escape using ninjutsu.

The [Body Instant Technique] saved his life, but it couldn't prevent his body from being attacked.

Otsutsuki Toneri lost his left hand; everything below his elbow was reduced to ashes by the energy blast.

Otsutsuki Toneri, who had never been seriously injured before, panicked, and fear welled up in his heart.

This feeling of emptiness was a natural emotion that arose after the giant Tenseigan, having fought against Xia Zuo, transmitted the depth of Xia Zuo's power, which it had vaguely sensed, to Toneri.

This was a warning from the giant Tenseigan to Otsutsuki Toneri, but he misunderstood it.

Looking at his missing left elbow, Otsutsuki Toneri was filled with guilt towards his ancestor: "Ancestor, I am no match for the people of the ninja world. I have disgraced you!"

He looked up at the sky, actually using his giant Reincarnation Eye to find a real meteorite in deep space not far from the moon.

Then, using the power of the Tenseigan, he pushed the meteor toward the ninja world and locked onto the Fifth Hokage, Natsume, as his target.

This is not the Rinnegan's eye technique [Heavenly Obstruction Star], but a real meteorite that, propelled by the Tenseigan, undergoes a complete space fall, increasing its speed to the point where friction with the air ignites rocks.

Following Otsutsuki Toneri's gaze, Xia Zuo keenly noticed that a shining star had appeared in the azure sky.

Moreover, that star grew brighter and larger.

Xia Zuo instantly realized that this was a meteorite falling from outside the atmosphere, and that it would bring a disaster powerful enough to destroy half of the Land of Fire.

However, this thing has a fatal flaw: from the moment it starts to glow and heat up due to friction with the air, becoming visible to the naked eye, until it falls to the ground, it takes at least ten minutes.

With such a long time, Xia Zuo could do so many things.

Moreover, after unleashing such a terrifying attack, Otsutsuki Toneri's chakra was almost completely depleted, causing a fatal decline in his combat effectiveness.

In other words, the Sheren are now actually weaker.

Xia Zuo scoffed, "Kid, just how inexperienced are you to use such a technique to attack the enemy? I could easily dodge it."

Ōtsutsuki Toneri sneered, "This fiery meteor has its sights set on you. No matter where you hide, it is destined to fall on your head."

"Fifth Hokage, Natsume, you're dead!"

Xia Zuo said coldly, "Then I can kill you before the meteor falls!"

Ōtsutsuki Toneri: "You can't kill me."

"You seem to know about the Giant Tenseigan of my Otsutsuki clan, but I think you probably don't know that the Giant Tenseigan can protect me when I am weakened."

"The protection of the Tenseigan comes from the Truth-Seeking Balls, and it is a defense that can never be breached."

"Fifth Hokage, Natsume, I will stand before you and watch you be struck by a fiery meteor, reduced to ashes by the intense heat and impact!"

Xia Zuo laughed: "I really didn't know that the giant Rinnegan had such an ability, but I happen to have a technique that I just acquired recently, and I'd like to try out its power."

"There is no absolutely perfect technique in the world. The automatic protection of the giant Rinnegan is so strong that it cannot simultaneously possess the ability to allow you to teleport away."

Let my bones judge the defensive power of the Rinnegan.

"6

As Xia Zuo spoke, a gray bone grew out of his right wrist.

The moment Otsutsuki Toneri saw that gray bone, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were seeing the most terrifying thing in the world.

He couldn't help but ask, "What is this?"

Xia Zuo pointed his hand at Otsutsuki Toneri: "This is a technique above the Six Paths, called [Kuji-satsu Ash Bones]."

"It possesses absolute destructive power, capable of destroying anything it touches and causing instant death. Even I, the caster, must proceed with extreme caution."

"If I were to actually run into one, I would die too."

Xia Zuo's extremely cautious actions and his almost blindly confident words deeply agitated Otsutsuki Toneri, greatly intensifying his fear.

The servant panicked and began to struggle to escape.

Unfortunately, Xia Zuo guessed correctly. The giant Tenseigan's protection of Otsutsuki Toneri severely restricted his mobility, making him escape as slowly as a tortoise.

Sheren was easily caught up by the cautious Xia Zuo, and could only watch helplessly as [All-Killing Ash Bones] approached him.

A blue barrier appeared in front of the attendant, blocking the gray bones, but the moment it was touched, the barrier lost its color and turned grayish.

The next instant, the faded barrier cracked and then, like burnt paper, scattered in the wind.

The barrier of the Tenseigan was destroyed by [All-Killing Ash Bones].

Otsutsuki Toneri was completely dumbfounded by this unbelievable scene.

The Tenseigan was an eye that even their ancestor didn't possess, and it vaguely surpassed the Tenseigan of their ancestor, Ōtsutsuki Hamura. The protective barrier created with his eye power was actually used to kill him.

This proves that the technique called "All-Killing Ash Bones" is on a level above the Giant Tenseigan.

Ōtsutsuki Toneri screamed frantically, "Impossible! This can't be! This is an illusion!"

He even tried to block the gray bone from getting closer with his intact right hand, but the moment it touched it, his right hand lost its healthy, rosy skin. In an instant, the hand turned into a color like ash, and then crumbled like dust. Next came the wrist, arm, elbow, upper arm, and shoulder.

Xia Zuo's [All-Killing Ash Bones] lacks the support of a bloodline limit. It can destroy things made of chakra, but it cannot instantly kill a ninja. It can only spread little by little and kill him bit by bit.

Hmm? On second thought, it seems even more terrifying to let others watch you disappear little by little.

Otsutsuki Toneri was terrified. He watched as his body turned to ash and dissipated, and his mind went completely blank.

Sheren didn't even realize that his mouth was emitting a scream.

As the ashes spread across his chest, Otsutsuki Toneri's screams ceased, and this branch of descendants left behind by Otsutsuki Hamura was completely wiped out.
