Might Guy's eyes were already devoid of pupils, his entire body glowing intensely red, almost black, with blue energy waves continuously surging. His aura had reached a certain peak.
The next second, Might Guy moved.
In the blink of an eye for Lin Nan, Might Guy's figure had already appeared behind Obito.
Obito's eyes widened, too fast!
Although his Sharingan had detected it, his body seemed unable to react at all.
"Bang!"
Another kick sent Obito hurtling towards the ground.
"Hirudora!"
Might Guy roared, pushing his hands forward. A pure white sphere of energy shot out, transforming into a white tiger mid-air, which then tore into Obito's body.
"Mmm..."
Lin Nan could even hear Obito's suppressed scream.
Without being able to phase out, was Obito no match for Guy-sensei?
Looking over there, Might Guy was now plummeting from the sky, about to deliver a final, ultimate blow.
Would Obito die here?
Lin Nan's brow furrowed as he waited to see what would happen.
"Boom!"
With a tremendous explosion, Might Guy's kick slammed hard into the ground.
Amidst the rising dust, it seemed as though he hadn't hit Obito.
As the dust settled, Lin Nan shook his head. As expected, Obito had vanished, likely having escaped into the Kamui dimension.
"Lin Nan-kun, where did he go?" Might Guy asked, seemingly not yet satisfied.
Lin Nan's figure also slowly disappeared, his voice drifting back, "He's gone, don't worry, I'll pull him back in for you soon!"
"Oh, thanks then!"
Might Guy reverted to his normal form, continuing to stand guard as a tool.
...
Lin Nan returned to the real world.
The landscape was now a scene of inferno, with the ground shattered by the falling meteorites.
Lava flowed, and broken rocks piled up like mountains.
Yet, the roars of the Ten-Tails could still be heard, full of vigor, indicating that the attack had caused no damage whatsoever.
How incredibly durable was this Ten-Tails?
But then, it wouldn't be the Ten-Tails if it wasn't.
After all, even the mighty Sage of Six Paths could only seal the Ten-Tails, not destroy it.
The method of sealing the Ten-Tails involved the Yin and Yang powers, executing the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei, to create a moon that would permanently seal it.
This so-called Yin and Yang power, in essence, were the cheat abilities of the two protagonists.
One had the Sage's eyes, and the other had the Sage's body.
After all, one was the reincarnation of Indra, and the other was the reincarnation of Asura.
So where was the underdog story? It was merely the growth story of a rich kid.
As Lin Nan was contemplating, the Ten-Tails' roar caught his attention.
Lin Nan focused his gaze and saw the Ten-Tails crawling out of the devastated ruins, with Obito's figure appearing alongside it.
"Lin Nan, it's useless. As long as the Ten-Tails appears, everything is predetermined. No one can stop it!"
Obito was visibly weakened, clearly from Guy's beating, but he apparently hadn't had enough.
Lin Nan recalled that Obito could manipulate the black receivers in the Kamui dimension to obstruct chakra flow, but he hadn't seen him use them in his fight with Guy.
So, what was the reason?
Was it purely because of Guy's attack style?
The Ten-Tails began gathering energy again. The Tailed Beast Bomb was always a reliable move.
Did the first form of the Ten-Tails only have this one move?
While the Tailed Beast Bomb was powerful, its charge-up time was too long. With such a lengthy casting period, in an equal fight, it would have been impaled countless times by now.
However, looking at the entire ninja world, most skills seemed to have a long casting time.
The Ten-Tails finally accumulated enough energy, and a Tailed Beast Bomb, comparable in size to the Ten-Tails itself, like a planet, materialized.
It was just hit by a meteorite, and it still had this much power?
Lin Nan frowned slightly.
"Bang!"
As the Ten-Tails completed its charge, this colossal Tailed Beast Bomb was fired.
However, its target was not Lin Nan, but Kakashi, who was not far away.
"Holy crap, going for Kakashi with such a deadly move? Truly a best friend!"
Lin Nan thought to himself, and just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly detected a subtle chakra fluctuation.
This aura...
Lin Nan stopped in his tracks.
From a distance, Kakashi watched Lin Nan's hesitant actions, feeling utterly confused.
This wasn't right. This move was supposed to be aimed at me, and I clearly can't withstand or dodge it, right?
Just like the combination attack of the Deva Path and the Asura Path during Pain's invasion of Konoha, as a normal person, I'd be helpless.
But since Lin Nan hasn't moved, he must have his reasons.
Kakashi suppressed his restless emotions, choosing to trust Lin Nan.
Otherwise, he could have used Kamui to warp the Tailed Beast Bomb away.
Although it was a bit too large, and his current Kamui was restricted by Obito.
Also, even if he successfully warped the Tailed Beast Bomb, Guy was currently in the Kamui dimension.
"Oh yeah!"
As Kakashi was thinking, a loud shout suddenly erupted beside him. Killer Bee, in his Eight-Tails form, appeared, seemingly intending to confront it head-on.
Kakashi then glanced at Lin Nan in the distance, who remained completely unresponsive. Instead, Lin Nan was taking a detour towards the Ten-Tails, clearly having no intention of rescuing him.
Even with their life-and-death bond, Kakashi felt a pang of dread in his heart.
"Bee, what are you planning to do?" Kakashi asked Killer Bee.
Killer Bee said through the Eight-Tails' mouth, "A few cannons, make it change course, escape to safety, hahahaha, oh yeah!"
With that, the Eight-Tails opened its massive mouth and spat out a few Tailed Beast Bombs.
However, these few Tailed Beast Bombs were pitifully small compared to the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
After several volleys, they had no discernible impact on the trajectory of the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb.
"This is bad, we're screwed! Baka yaro, kono yaro!"
Seeing that it was futile, the Eight-Tails immediately grabbed Kakashi and Naruto, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, with its octopus tentacles, preparing to flee.
However, at that moment, a brilliant golden light suddenly erupted, blinding Kakashi and Killer Bee.
Kakashi shielded his eyes, but his pupils contracted sharply.
"Teacher?"
In the golden light, he seemed to see his deceased teacher, the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash!
His old glaucoma must be acting up.
"Naruto?"
With Killer Bee's exclamation, Kakashi finally snapped back to reality. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Naruto, who had completely transformed.
Previously, Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra Mode had involved drawing upon the Nine-Tails' chakra, forming markings and golden light on his body, known as Sage Mode Naruto, but without any other significant changes.
But now, it was different. Naruto had gained the Nine-Tails' recognition, knew the names of the Nine-Tails and all the Tailed Beasts, and could borrow all of the Nine-Tails' chakra unconditionally.
Thus, a new cheat ability was unlocked.
Uzumaki Naruto (Kyuubi Mode) has entered the arena.
