"Heh heh, well, of course!"
Seeing the shock on Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire's face and the others, Kazama immediately let out a cold laugh. He then spoke to them triumphantly, "I'm telling you, this jutsu of mine is the Chakra Mode Susanoo! Everyone else's Chakra Mode Susanoo is just a Nine-Tails, but mine is directly the Ten-Tails! Let's see how arrogant and overbearing you can be now!"
"Heh heh, so what if it's Chakra Mode Susanoo? In front of our twenty-three Tailed Beasts, it doesn't matter what kind of Susanoo it is, it's all just trash, just a pathetic, worthless dog!"
At this, Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire and the others roared in fury. The twenty-three Tailed Beasts then transformed into tens of thousands of flames, once again burning Kazama's Chakra Mode Susanoo until it was covered in wounds.
"I'm telling you, you little bristle, Kazama, as they say, 'two fists are no match for four hands.' No matter how amazing or powerful you are, how can one person possibly fight against our endless supply of Tailed Beasts?"
"You want to compare numbers with me? Alright, Kazama loves to compare numbers with others!"
You see, Kazama now possessed an Infinite Chakra physique. So, in just a few moments, he created tens of thousands of Shadow Clones. And with the appearance of these clones, Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire and the others were naturally incredibly shocked.
However, Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire then sneered at Kazama again, saying, "I'm telling you, you little bristle, your Chakra Mode Susanoo isn't even a match for me, and you've actually created these mere tens of thousands of clones. Do you really think your clones can defeat me?"
"Heh heh, relying solely on these clones might not be enough to defeat you, but with my Infinite Chakra, these clones can also use Chakra Mode Susanoo!"
"What?! How is that possible?!"
Hearing Kazama's words, Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire was immediately startled once more. But before Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire could even react, Kazama immediately had his tens of thousands of clones directly unleash their Ten-Tails forms. Then, they activated their Susanoo. With the appearance of tens of thousands of Chakra Mode Susanoo, even the so-called "different dimension" was shaken to its core.
At this point, Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire cursed furiously and roared as it charged towards Kazama again. Kazama immediately gave the order, sending his tens of thousands of clones to fight against the Tailed Beasts. After just a few exchanges, they had beaten the Tailed Beasts until they were covered in wounds.
At this moment, the System quickly spoke to Kazama, "I say, Kazama, don't get too carried away with the killing now and turn these Tailed Beasts into nothingness. If you turn them into nothingness, you won't be able to re-subdue them."
"Heh heh, I know that, dattebayo!"
Hearing the System's words, Kazama immediately smiled and nodded. After all, Kazama wasn't an idiot; how could he not know what should and shouldn't be done?
Therefore, Kazama swiftly and decisively used his incredibly powerful ability. In just a few moments, he re-absorbed all twenty-three of the Tailed Beasts, which he had beaten to a pulp, back into his body. And with the re-absorption of these Tailed Beasts, they immediately understood that they had previously been misguided.
Chapter 387: Past Kage-level Masters Trapped
That's why they were rebelling against their master, Kazama.
This immediately filled their hearts with anger.
So, they quickly said to Kazama: "We admit it, Kazama-sama, we were wrong, truly wrong. We shouldn't have tried to act tough in front of you. Please, spare our lives!"
"Hehe, of course, that's no problem!"
Hearing their words, Kazama immediately smiled and nodded at them.
Because Kazama knew that these twenty-three types of Ika weren't truly betraying him.
Therefore, Kazama wasn't a petty person, so naturally, he wouldn't truly be angry with them.
Then, Kazama spoke to Jōen Yogaka again: "Jōen Yogaka, though your power isn't as great as Teien's, you can burn through space. So, I hope to use your ability to destroy this space!"
"Hehe, of course, that's no problem!"
Hearing Kazama's command, Jōen Yogaka immediately displayed his unique ability.
He effortlessly burned Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's alternate dimension into nothingness.
Kazama had thought that since he had burned this alternate dimension into nothingness, he could properly leave it.
However, to Kazama's surprise, after this alternate dimension was burned to nothingness, another space appeared. It was space within space, which immediately startled Kazama.
This truly infuriated Kazama, as he secretly resented being played by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
At this moment, Jōen Yogaka spoke to Kazama again: "Master, you don't need to be so angry. Burning space is incredibly easy for me. So, no matter how many spaces Ōtsutsuki Isshiki creates, in my eyes, they're useless. As long as I act, let alone one space, I can easily destroy a hundred or even a thousand!"
"Really?"
Hearing Jōen Yogaka's words, Kazama was naturally overjoyed.
"Kazama-sama, I hope you remove that 'really' part, because what I'm saying is true!"
"Alright, if that's truly the case, then I'll reward you handsomely afterward."
"Good, I'll remember your words then."
As Jōen Yogaka spoke, he immediately unleashed his incredible ability once more.
Within a few exchanges, he charged towards these spaces.
But just as Kazama believed Jōen Yogaka would successfully destroy these spaces, he suddenly discovered that various strange and peculiar shinobi had appeared within this space.
Kazama looked closely and realized that these shinobi were actually past Kage-level masters.
And they weren't just the Third or Fourth Hokage's caliber; they were the most formidable, the First Kage level.
This immediately startled Kazama again.
He knew that before him were the First Hokage, First Mizukage, First Raikage, First Tsuchikage, and First Kazekage.
A total of five First Kage-level masters! This naturally made Kazama incredibly disbelieving.
"Tell me, esteemed Kage-level masters, why are you currently within this alternate dimension?" Kazama then asked them.
Chapter 388: I'm Going to Beat You Down!
"This, huh?"
Hearing Kazama's words, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, immediately looked towards him. When he saw Kazama's forehead protector, he burst out laughing.
"I say, young man, you're actually in the same dimension as us! Could it be that you, too, were ambushed by that Isshiki Otsutsuki?"
"What? Are you telling me you were also pulled into this alternate dimension by Isshiki Otsutsuki?"
"That's right. That Isshiki Otsutsuki is a notorious scumbag. He first proposed a proper fight with us, and we, being naive, all thought he wanted a fair battle. But who knew that Isshiki Otsutsuki was a treacherous villain? He pretended to spar with us but secretly used his unique space-time ninjutsu to absorb all of us into this alternate dimension he created."
"Although in this alternate dimension, there's no concept of time or space, and we won't die, we're now forever trapped here. What's the difference between that and being killed, dattebayo?"
"So, we've constantly been thinking of resisting, but what we didn't expect was that all our resistance so far has ended in failure. Because this Isshiki Otsutsuki's power is truly too incredible, too strong. We're simply no match for him!"
"This is unbearable!"
At this, Kazama's heart filled with anger after hearing the First Hokage's words.
"First Hokage, and all you successive Hokage, don't worry! As long as I, Kazama, am here, I will surely grind that Isshiki Otsutsuki to dust!"
"I say, young Kazama, do you have that kind of ability?"
Hearing Kazama's boast, the First Hokage immediately asked him with doubt.
"Of course! My strength is enough to put me on par with you, perhaps even surpass you. Otherwise, Isshiki Otsutsuki wouldn't have suddenly thought of trapping me here, don't you think?"
"Hmm, excellent, excellent, you make a lot of sense."
At this moment, the First Hokage, hearing Kazama's words, immediately nodded happily. He then asked Kazama again, "I say, young Kazama, what do you think we should do now?"
"It's simple: directly destroy this space, and then we'll escape from it."
"Heh heh, I say, you're truly boasting about yourself!"
Before Kazama could even finish speaking, the First Tsuchikage immediately scoffed at him.
"Do you know how powerful and vast this space is? The strength of us five Kage-level experts is extraordinary, but even we haven't been able to find the exit of this alternate dimension. Yet you claim you want to destroy this alternate dimension? You're clearly making us laugh!"
"What?! How is that possible?!"
Before the First Tsuchikage could finish, Kazama had already, in a flash, released the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame. And with the appearance of the Pure Lotus Demonic Flame, this so-called alternate dimension was immediately burned to nothingness.
As the space dissipated, Kazama and the others naturally appeared before the arrogant and overbearing Isshiki Otsutsuki.
At this moment, Isshiki Otsutsuki had absolutely not expected that his meticulously planned scheme to trap Kazama would fail so quickly. This naturally made Isshiki Otsutsuki somewhat disbelieving and greatly shocked. After all, Isshiki Otsutsuki knew that Kazama's abilities were extremely powerful. And Kazama's subordinates also possessed incredible abilities.
If Kazama were to unite with his subordinates, Kazama's strength would reach an even higher level. Therefore, Isshiki Otsutsuki immediately used all his might to attack Kazama. However, what Kazama didn't expect was that this Isshiki Otsutsuki was just a clone. Isshiki Otsutsuki's true body, meanwhile, was in the Sound Village dealing with Orochimaru and others.
Chapter 389: Absolutely Dominating the Kara Leader
"Now that you don't have Kazama-kun to help you, let's see what you little brats can do to me!"
After Isshiki Ōtsutsuki trapped Kazama-kun in his other dimension, he immediately lunged at Orochimaru and the others. But Isshiki-sama greatly underestimated their strength. You see, while Orochimaru's individual power might not rival his, the Sound Village (Otogakure) that Orochimaru leads is incredibly formidable.
I'm not just talking about Nagato or the Akatsuki members here. Even just Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's power alone is enough to contend with Isshiki-sama. Isshiki-sama initially thought that Kaguya-sama, having been severely wounded by the Allied Shinobi Forces back then, wouldn't have recovered her full strength. So, he didn't even consider her a threat at first.
But he was totally blindsided! The moment he attacked, Kaguya-sama immediately activated her Nine-Tomo Sharingan-Rinnegan. This left Isshiki-sama completely shocked. As he fended off Kaguya-sama's assault, he yelled, "You traitor! You're a princess of the Ōtsutsuki clan, yet you, a lowly wench, abandoned our noble Ōtsutsuki status for these Earthlings?! This is simply unforgivable!"
"Don't give me that nonsense! I don't care how noble the Ōtsutsuki clan is; I won't stand by while you slaughter innocents!"
"Heh, Kaguya-sama, you really love to be arrogant, don't you? Fine, if you won't allow the Ōtsutsuki clan to kill innocents, then I, representing the main Ōtsutsuki house, will tear you limb from limb and scatter your ashes!"
"Good, I'd like to see if you even have the power to do that!"
With just a single move, Kaguya-sama unleashed powerful abilities like All-Killing Ash Bones (Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu) and Byakugan-Shinjutsu. In just a few exchanges, she was locked in an intense, evenly matched battle with Isshiki-sama.
While Isshiki-sama's power is certainly not weak, compared to Kaguya-sama, he's still a bit lacking. That's because Kaguya-sama absorbed the power of the Ten-Tails' (Jūbi) true form. So, her current power and her Rinnegan had long surpassed Isshiki-sama's.
After dozens of clashes with Kaguya-sama, Isshiki-sama was seething with frustration. His mind raced, and he thought, "Kaguya-sama is incredibly powerful. If I keep fighting her like this, I'll most likely be defeated. In that case, I'll use a decoy tactic (Tora no Isshi no Jutsu)!"
With that in mind, Isshiki-sama feigned defeat and turned to flee. Kaguya-sama, unaware of his trick, immediately flew after him, charging in for the kill.
Meanwhile, Isshiki-sama's subordinates from the Kara organization had all arrived at the Sound Village. This was part of Isshiki-sama's pre-arranged plan: he would lure Kaguya-sama away, and then his Kara members would flatten the Sound Village. Isshiki-sama knew that the Five Great Nations were no match for him, but the Sound Village was an exception.
Chapter 390: Akatsuki vs. Kara
Currently, if one wishes to destroy the Five Great Shinobi Nations, they must first eliminate everyone from the Hidden Sound Village.
At this time, Orochimaru, Nagato, and other Akatsuki members were originally planning to help Kaguya Ōtsutsuki pursue and eliminate Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. But they never expected that Isshiki Ōtsutsuki had such a trick up his sleeve.
So, Orochimaru, Nagato, and the Akatsuki members immediately began battling the Kara members. It's worth noting that while the Kara members are incredibly formidable and powerful, in front of Orochimaru and the Akatsuki members, they were still incredibly weak.
After all, Orochimaru's side not only had Nagato, wielding the Rinnegan and Six Paths Power, but also Itachi Uchiha, who could take on seven opponents at once, Kamui Obito, the explosives expert Deidara, Sasori, the eternal artist, Kisame Hoshigaki, the 'Tailless Tailed Beast,' and many more.
So, no matter how formidable or powerful the Kara members were, they couldn't make a dent against the Akatsuki. Thus, within a few exchanges, the Kara members were repeatedly defeated and forced to retreat by Orochimaru and the rest of the Akatsuki.
Just as Orochimaru and the others thought they could seize the opportunity to completely wipe out the Kara members, they suddenly saw Isshiki Ōtsutsuki making a comeback. This immediately left Orochimaru and the others utterly shocked.
While they could afford to disregard Kara, they certainly didn't dare to disregard Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. After all, this Isshiki Ōtsutsuki possessed a Six-Tomoed Rinnegan, and his power had long since surpassed theirs. At that moment, they had expected Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to help them deal with Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. However, only Isshiki Ōtsutsuki was present, with no sign of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki anywhere.
This instantly alarmed them, and Orochimaru muttered to himself, "This isn't good. Could it be that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was slain by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki?"
Upon this thought, Orochimaru was naturally overcome with shock. Although he knew Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had previously been his enemy, she had later wholeheartedly turned to good and become his ally. So, naturally, Orochimaru was very concerned about Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's fate.
Thus, upon seeing Isshiki Ōtsutsuki return, Orochimaru immediately pointed a finger at him and began to furiously curse him.
"You bastard! You dog-scum! Where have you taken our comrade, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki?!"
"Heheh. You truly crack me up! You little punks, do you even have the right to call yourselves brothers with someone from the Ōtsutsuki clan?"
Isshiki Ōtsutsuki didn't take Orochimaru and the others seriously at all. So, seeing Orochimaru dare to curse at him, Isshiki Ōtsutsuki immediately knocked him to the ground with a single wave of his hand.
And although Orochimaru knew Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's power was immense, he never expected to be so utterly helpless against Isshiki Ōtsutsuki now. This completely shattered his worldview and was something he had never, ever anticipated.
"Let me tell you, you don't have the slightest right to stand against me!"
Isshiki Ōtsutsuki reached out with one hand and immediately crippled Orochimaru.
As for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, she hadn't actually been killed by Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. Instead, he had trapped her within a distant genjutsu. Isshiki Ōtsutsuki knew that while Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was incredibly powerful, she wasn't particularly skilled at resisting genjutsu.
