Chapter 294: Isshiki Breaks Down
🕑 Added 2025-01-24 10:02:24 +0000 UTCChapter 294: Isshiki Breaks Down
“Ten-Tails!”
With Isshiki’s low roar, a massive Ten-Tails appeared at the center of the battlefield. Its colossal body loomed like a mountain, its crimson eyes gleaming with malice, and its enormous tails lashed through the air, stirring violent winds.
Without hesitation, Isshiki pressed his hand onto the Ten-Tails’ back, instantly initiating chakra extraction.
The Ten-Tails’ chakra, like a raging torrent, surged into Isshiki’s body at an astonishing rate.
“Boom!”
An overwhelming surge of violent energy erupted from Isshiki, the immense chakra waves sweeping across the area like a tsunami. Everything within a hundred meters around him was obliterated.
Hyuga Fuji’s expression shifted slightly. A spatial portal appeared in front of him as he attempted to interrupt Isshiki’s actions, but Isshiki twisted the space, distorting Fuji’s portal.
Then, Isshiki’s right eye widened, activating his ocular technique. The environment within the dimension transformed dramatically.
“Daikokuten!”
The black cubes that had been floating in the air trembled violently under an unseen force, enlarging to hundreds of meters in size. They plummeted toward Hyuga Fuji like meteors, radiating an oppressive aura.
Hyuga Fuji looked up, retreating and darting forward to evade the falling cubes.
These black cubes completely blocked chakra detection, leaving Fuji’s Tenseigan and Byakugan unable to see them. He had to rely on his physical eyes and their momentum to judge their position. The cubes were also incredibly heavy and durable—Naruto himself needed his Baryon Mode to deal with them easily. Fuji saw no need to directly resist them.
Opting not to use spatial techniques, Fuji used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Isshiki, thrusting his golden sword forward. But just as it was about to collide with Isshiki, the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion suddenly shrank in size!
In Fuji’s hand, the sword now resembled a miniature toy.
It was Isshiki’s ocular technique, Sukunahikona, capable of shrinking not only objects but even techniques themselves.
Hyuga Fuji’s expression remained calm as he retracted his Truth-Seeking Orbs, switching from a thrust to a palm strike, clashing head-on with Isshiki at full strength.
Boom!
The ground beneath them quaked violently, the shockwaves obliterating the area within ten meters.
With a muffled sound, Isshiki stumbled back several meters, while Hyuga Fuji was forced back dozens of meters.
Hyuga Fuji planted his feet firmly, coming to a stop as his eyes narrowed slightly.
Isshiki had been holding back about thirty percent of his strength, as Fuji had estimated.
However, the situation was not equal—Isshiki’s current body was merely a shadow, not his true form. The Limbo shadow would eventually disappear, so Fuji didn’t even need to use his trump cards to win.
But...
“Do you feel it, inferior creature? This is my true power!”
With the Ten-Tails’ chakra absorbed, Isshiki’s body was now covered in black markings, his presence exuding the aura of a demonic abyss. “Becoming one with me is a gift I bestow upon you!”
He was dissatisfied—frustrated with his current state and power. If not for the earlier consumption of energy, absorbing the Ten-Tails would have given him an easier victory without any limitations.
“Keep your gift for someone else. I don’t need it. Instead, I’d like to test my full strength against you as you are now,” Hyuga Fuji retorted, as eight Truth-Seeking Orbs once again materialized behind him.
Fuji didn’t rely on anyone’s power to create his Truth-Seeking Orbs; they were formed by his own strength. If affected by an ocular technique, he could simply recreate them.
Next, Fuji pressed his right thumb to his heart.
“Eight Gates: Gate of Death!”
Boom!
A storm of chakra erupted, sending everything within several hundred meters flying. Only Isshiki remained standing.
Violent blood vapor rose from Fuji’s body, burning with an intense heat. Each wisp of steam seemed to carry flames, blending with the blue chakra of his Tenseigan, creating a surreal scene.
In the next instant, Fuji moved.
With a single step, he appeared in front of Isshiki and threw a punch.
The punch distorted space, shattered the air, and rushed toward Isshiki with unstoppable momentum.
Isshiki’s entire body screamed danger, but it was too late.
Whether through spatial techniques or raw speed, there was no time to evade. He could only summon his strength to clash with Fuji’s attack.
Boom!!!
A thunderous explosion echoed like a crashing storm, shattering the earth within kilometers. Isshiki was sent flying, coughing up blood in shock and disbelief.
“What... what is this?!” he roared inwardly, his mind in chaos. He couldn’t comprehend the situation before him.
Never had he imagined himself being forced into such a state, nor could he fathom how Hyuga Fuji had unleashed such terrifying power. The sight before him shattered his perception of reality.
“How can an inferior being’s forbidden technique possibly rival me?!”
Refusing to accept defeat, Isshiki let out a furious snarl. Chakra surged from him as he leapt forward, launching another ferocious attack at Fuji.
His fists moved like a storm, striking with such speed that they blurred from sight. Within a single second, he delivered over a hundred punches, each carrying immense force. The dense shockwaves rippled toward Fuji, attempting to engulf him completely.
But Fuji moved with ease, dodging and deflecting every attack. His form twisted mid-motion, delivering a devastating punch that sent a column of air crashing into Isshiki.
Isshiki let out a pained scream as his body was flung thousands of meters away, crashing into the ground. The resulting shockwave upheaved the terrain, raising a hundred-meter-high wave of earth and debris.
Fuji retracted his fist, feeling the strain spreading through his body. He raised an eyebrow.
The power boost was immense, but even with his body’s resilience, he could only sustain it for a minute. Still, it was enough.
Fuji’s body glowed with swirling red and blue energy as he stepped on air, racing toward Isshiki’s position.
...
Lying in a massive crater, Isshiki’s shadow stared blankly at the sky.
“Inferior being... inferior being... inferior being...”
Who was the inferior being?
Hyuga Fuji?
Then what did that make him, being crushed by Fuji?
As Fuji approached swiftly, Isshiki’s gaze filled with murderous intent. He no longer cared about vessels, Kāma, or even survival itself.
At that moment, he wanted only one thing: to kill Hyuga Fuji.
“Daikokuten!”
“Daikokuden!”
Black rods and cubes filled the sky as Isshiki, roaring like a demon, charged at Fuji with all his might.
But... it was futile.
The black Truth-Seeking Orbs formed a shield, deflecting the rods, while Fuji unleashed hundreds of punches in mere seconds, sending the once-immovable black cubes flying.
Within seconds, Fuji had delivered a powerful kick, slamming Isshiki into the ground, leaving him bloodied and broken.
Isshiki’s gaze grew vacant.
Impossible. This was impossible.
He stood up again and again, charging with all his strength, only to be crushed each time.
Finally, forty seconds into the fight, Isshiki attempted to stand once more, only to realize in horror that his shadow could no longer hold out under the strain of battle.
