Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

Those insects that can utilize corpses can greatly influence the course of a battle. If you don't eliminate the enemy first, you'll be at a significant disadvantage!

The man in black, who was directing the battle from afar, understood Kakashi's intentions and shouted, "His target is Kinara! Stop him at all costs!"

Several Kuiba men wielding knives and axes blocked their path and slashed at them!

Kakashi neither dodged nor evaded, but charged straight at him!

Crack! The knife and axe were shattered the moment they touched Kakashi's lightning cloak!

Purple Lightning possesses a more terrifying power than ordinary lightning, and Purple Lightning Chakra Mode must also have a more powerful defensive capability than ordinary Lightning Chakra Mode!

Although it is not as powerful as the complete form of Susanoo, how could these ordinary iron pieces possibly shake it!

Swish!

With the Sharingan's extraordinary perception, Kakashi's sharp hand blade sliced ​​through the opponent's vitals in the instant they passed each other!

In Purple Lightning Chakra Mode, there's no need to use ninjutsu separately; your entire body is the strongest weapon!

"Aganpo!" The man in black shouted to someone in the distance when he saw that the situation was not going well.

The mountain woman, perched on a tree trunk, had her Mind Turn gesture aimed at Kakashi's back. Her eyes gleamed beneath her mask: "His speed is too fast to aim at, but with adjustments, it's possible. If you get hit by my Mind Turn, it's over!"

At this critical moment, Kakashi seemed to sense something and turned his head. *Zzz!* The Mangekyou Sharingan in his left eye emitted a faint light.

—Genjutsu: Sharingan!

Boom!

The mountain woman's pupils suddenly contracted, and her gaze became dull!

At that moment, Kai pointed his finger in the air.

—Daytime Tiger - Targeted Kill!

Whoosh! A sharp beam of energy pierced through the air and precisely struck Ah Gan Po between the eyebrows, causing him to fall from the tree trunk and die!

Kakashi and Guy exchanged a smile and charged towards the enemy... Their teamwork was simply divine!

There are no longer any obstacles between Kakashi and Kinnara.

Seeing the approaching killing intent, Kinara Aburame, who was hiding in the shadows of the trees, turned and fled. At the same time, she took out a jar with a seal written on it. With a crazed look on her face, she formed a hand seal, and the sealing spell slowly opened...

That is the sealed jar of the Aburame clan, which stores the highest-grade poisonous insects. Once opened, it means widespread extinction!

The only solution is to prevent the pot from being opened!

Kakashi accelerated forward, closing to within ten meters. Suddenly, he thrust his hand forward, and with a crack, a sharp lightning spear pierced Kinara right through the heart!

"Ugh!" Kinnara screamed in agony as the insect pot in his hand flew forward due to inertia. The sealing spell had already been activated, and if it shattered, it would have disastrous consequences!

Kinara grinned maliciously before collapsing to the ground: "Die! These are my newly cultivated nanoscale fungal eggs. They will multiply rapidly in the air and be blown anywhere by the wind, including Konoha..."

Kakashi's gaze suddenly sharpened: "How could I let you have your way!"

He landed and bounced up again, a purple light streaking across a beautiful parabola, catching the insect pot the instant it hit the ground with a thud! His torso scraped against the ground, leaving a long trail. He sat up, looking at the small insect pot in his palm, then at the already lifeless Kinnara Aburame.

"Your talents are utterly useless in war, and will bring misfortune to the world. Let everything about you end here!"

Crackling sounds!

The purple lightning penetrated into the pot, completely annihilating the insect eggs residing within!

Snap! He crushed the insect jar, stood up, and looked back at the deafening roar behind him: "The risk of the corpses being reused has been eliminated. Now, we can finally go all out..."

He transformed into a purple light and shot back, unleashing his full power and slaughtering everyone in his path!

After a fierce battle...

The ground was littered with mangled corpses and dripping blood!

"Huff, huff, huff..." Might Guy had already withdrawn from under the Gate of Shock, and the Thunder Gate Twin Chains of the Lei Luo brothers were untied, each panting heavily.

The purple lightning covering Kakashi looked quite thin! It's easy to imagine that the previous battle had taken a huge toll on him.

From beginning to end, the leader of the remnants of the Root remained on the sidelines, not making a move. At this moment, there were still a dozen or so survivors gathered around him.

The man sneered, "Kakashi Hatake, you really are a man who has become Hokage after all. No wonder Lord Danzo admired you so much and wanted to recruit you into his ranks..."

Kakashi said, "Danzo's ambitions have been extinguished, and his roots no longer exist. Any struggle you make will be in vain!"

"Hmph... That's not necessarily true. Soon, you won't think that way anymore!" The man in black slowly removed his mask, revealing the face of a weathered middle-aged man!

Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly: "It's you...you weren't already!!"

Might Guy asked, "Kakashi, who is he?"

Kakashi said, "Shingetsu Tanuki, one of the few developers in Root, once assisted Danzo in developing a forbidden chakra weapon. You may have heard of its name, 'Ox-Headed Heavenly King'!"

Kai was shocked: "What!? You mean... that thing that combined the First Hokage's cells with the forbidden curse technique developed by the Second Hokage, that thing wasn't disposed of?!"

Kakashi said, "After Danzo died, we cleaned up all of Root's strongholds in search of the whereabouts of the Ox-Headed King, but unfortunately, we couldn't find him. As for Shingetsu Tanuki, who assisted Danzo in developing the Ox-Headed King, she also disappeared without a trace."

Kai clenched his fist: "So, the Bull King is very likely in his hands!"

Swish! Xin Yue Tanuki suddenly ripped off her upper robe, revealing an eerie purple bull's head pattern on her back: "It's not possible, the Bull-Headed Heavenly King is in my hands. He is the key to realizing Lord Danzo's ultimate ambition... I will use its power now to kill you all!!"

*Snap!* He bit his finger, formed a hand seal, and then slammed his palm onto the ground.

—Spirit Spell: Ox-Headed Heavenly King!

*Snap!* At the same time, a different dimension existing beyond the void was connected!

The pitch-black portal opened, and a chilling aura emanated from it, sending shivers down Kakashi's spine!

Beside Shingetsu Tanuki, the dozen or so surviving people... their chakra surged out of their bodies in an instant and flew into that spatial gate.

*Sizzle!* A terrifying eye was reflected in the pitch-black door!

The raccoon dog snarled, "That's it! Come out, Nue!!!"

Thousands of miles away...

"Hmm?" In the Hidden Ninja Country, Lin Yu, who was chatting with the Minato couple, suddenly covered his eyes, and sweat appeared on his face, which was rare for him.

"What happened?" Minato asked, putting down the apple he was about to eat.

"My Kamui senses a resonance coming from some other dimension, near Konoha... Could it be?" Lin Yu clenched his fist, his heart filled with unease. "Those guys... shouldn't be here this early, right?"

Lin Yu's arrival has drastically altered the course of Naruto's history; anything could happen now...

But Lin Yu was always worried about one thing!

—Will the Otsutsuki arrive ahead of schedule?

Whoosh! He stood up, donned a black robe, and said coldly, "Let's go take a look!"

Chapter 409 Signs of Calamity!

Nue is a legendary summoning beast in the ninja world. It is a monster with a lion-like head and a snake-like tail. It can absorb large amounts of chakra and self-destruct!

The Nue is not a life form in this world; it resides in some other dimension!

That space doesn't belong to Earth, nor to the Otsutsuki... yet it exists between Earth and the Otsutsuki, serving as a link! No one knows this except Lin Yu!

During his lifetime, Danzo was interested in some unusual summoned creatures.

For example, the 'Dream Eater', a legendary dream-eating beast, can open its mouth wide and use wind magic to blow objects in front of it and devour them...

Danzo found Baku and signed a summoning contract, turning it into his summoning beast.

But after acquiring the Baku, he discovered that its mystique was far inferior to that of the Nue! So, he naturally set his sights on the Nue again.

Yes, he was only interested in Nue himself and knew nothing about the Otsutsuki!

He dedicated himself to developing the Bull-Headed Heavenly King, and successfully summoned Nue from another dimension!

However, the price of a successful summoning is that a gap appears between two previously unrelated spaces!

The Otsutsuki clan's spatial eye technique allows them to travel between different spaces, but this travel is not effortless; they need a marker-like object to sense the location of distant spaces!

The spatial rift created during the summoning of Nue could very well become a spatial marker, allowing certain members of the Otsutsuki clan to sense the Earth's location ahead of time!

With their abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for them to come once they can sense it!

Therefore, their arrival time will inevitably be earlier!

In Boruto... the reason why Momoshiki and his trio were able to descend to Earth was because Tanuki Shingetsu implanted the Ox-Headed Heavenly King into her daughter, Sumire Shingetsu. Sumire then used the Ox-Headed Heavenly King to summon Nue to Earth in order to fulfill her father's last wish... This caused a spatial shift, allowing Momoshiki and his trio to follow their trajectory and nearly bring about the destruction of the world!

Unaware of this, the Shingetsu Tanuki continued to boast of its power: "Nue, tear them apart!!!"

"Ow!!!"

Nue charged towards Kakashi and his companions. Having absorbed the chakra of over a dozen Jonin, Nue had grown to a height of ten meters...

Faced with the aggressive Nue, Kakashi, the only one among the four present who still had chakra left, formed hand seals!

—Purple Lightning and Thunder Tiger: Annihilation!

The Thunder Tiger roared away and struck the Nue, but disappeared in an instant... Then, the Nue's body grew even larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Kakashi broke out in a cold sweat: "This monster can absorb not only chakra, but also ninjutsu! If that's the case, isn't it a natural counter to ninjas?!"

After a brief pause, the Nue attacked again.

"Kakashi, step back and let me handle this!" Might Guy rushed forward and delivered a full-force kick in his normal state, landing squarely on Nue's cheek. However, it only caused Nue's face to tilt slightly before Guy was sent flying to the ground, writhing in pain as if his bones were shattering: "Ugh! This monster's body is extremely strong. I just opened the Gate of Shock, and my stamina hasn't recovered yet. This is really bad!"

Fortunately, thanks to Kai buying time, Kakashi and the others had already retreated to a distance.

"If dealing with this monster doesn't work, let's capture the summoner!"

Kakashi, with a clear mind, charged towards the Shingetsu Tanuki, who was flanking him from behind, his body crackling with purple lightning!

“Overestimating yourself…” Xin Yue Li’s lips curled into a cold smile.

Whoosh! The Nue's tail stretched out and suddenly wrapped around Kakashi.

Whoosh! The purple lightning surrounding Kakashi was absorbed by Nue's tail.

"Awooo!!" The chakra that was completely different from before made Nue let out a roar that terrified all beasts.

The Shingetsu Tanuki said, "I know your thoughts perfectly! Unlike other summoning beasts, as long as this Ox-Headed Heavenly King is on me, I am connected with Nue. I am like a father to it. Anyone who tries to get close to me will have their chakra drained like this!"

"However, your chakra is quite formidable, almost enough to make Nue self-destruct. But if you self-destruct here, I'll be affected too. Let Nue tear you to pieces!"

Shingetsu Tanuki gave the order to Nue!
