Chapter 552 Otsutsuki Isshiki, This is what a ninja is like!
He admitted his "mistake".
These three people analyzed his ability to become "Shaoming Bikuna".
Furthermore, it was determined that, given his initial state of releasing the "Wedge," it was impossible for "Shaoming Bikuna" to shrink the explosive tags, which covered an extremely wide area and numbered in astronomical quantities.
Even if he chose to shrink himself, there would be no safe gap for him to escape in the indiscriminate, all-encompassing, high-density explosion.
Just like in the original work, Naruto Uzumaki found Isshiki's location after he shrunk him down and used the "Giant Rasengan" to force him to absorb ninjutsu without being able to dodge.
Wide-range, high-density saturation attacks are indeed one of the effective strategies to deal with "Shaoming Kunguna".
But unfortunately—
Sizzle! Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The sound, as if countless fuses were being lit simultaneously, came from the boundless exploding tags below, merging into a single, chilling buzzing sound.
Hundreds of billions of detonating tags were ignited simultaneously.
At the same time, the space in front of Isshiki Otsutsuki also began to twist and rotate, and the black and red portal of the space-time ninjutsu took shape and expanded in front of him.
Once he steps inside, he can escape this area that is about to be destroyed.
However----
hum!
The spatial gate that was about to open suddenly stopped, as if it had been disturbed, and began to twist and shrink.
Upon seeing this, Otsutsuki Isshiki abruptly turned his head and instantly looked at Hanzo in the distance.
At this moment, Hanzo's face was twisted and ferocious, one hand was pressed tightly against his face, and his body was trembling violently, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.
But through the gaps between his fingers, which were gripping his cheek tightly, that "black eye" was fixed on Isshiki Otsutsuki.
"Don't even think about escaping!!"
Hanzo forced out a hoarse growl through his teeth, forcibly activating the power within his "black eye" that was of the same origin as Isshiki, to interfere with the spacetime channel opened by Isshiki.
"How pathetic." Looking at Hanzo's miserable yet resolute appearance, Otsutsuki Isshiki said indifferently, "Your struggles are meaningless."
boom!!
The endless array of explosive tags below suddenly erupted.
The deafening roar swallowed up all other sounds.
The light was so intense that it blinded the eyes, obscuring everything in sight.
Hundreds of billions of detonating tags were detonated simultaneously, creating layers of fire and smoke that rose and spread into a mushroom cloud, forming a column of smoke connecting the sea and the sky.
The shockwave from the explosion spread and expanded, instantly evaporating and pushing aside the seawater, and tearing apart and blowing away the clouds in the sky.
Konan's face was pale, her chakra almost completely drained, and she was only able to hold on by her willpower, staring intently at the all-consuming purgatory, her pupils reflecting the wildly leaping flames.
Nagato and Hanzo walked up from behind her, to her left and right, and also looked at the center of the explosion.
Both Nagato and Hanzo could clearly sense that Isshiki Otsutsuki was not in the area where the explosions were continuing.
He escaped.
However, neither of them showed any surprise; their expressions remained calm.
"It's a success," Hanzo said hoarsely.
"Leave the rest to me," Nagato said.
The hundreds of billions of explosive tags they prepared for Xiao Nan were carefully disguised and layered, enough to trigger an explosion in this sea area that would last for a full ten minutes.
Ten minutes is more than enough.
The explosions continued.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes —
The deafening roar showed no signs of abating, and the waves of fire continued to rage, as if trying to completely erase this sea area from the map.
Eight minutes.
In the eighth minute, in the area filled with explosions, flames, and thick smoke, Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared, falling out in a disheveled state.
His current demeanor was completely different from his previous indifferent and noble attitude, as if he had everything under control.
The moment it appeared, before it could even steady itself, its hands, covered in black wedge patterns, suddenly rose up.
One of them was named Bikona!
hum!
Centered on him, the surrounding explosive tags and flames were instantly shrunk to the size of dust, and the flames of the explosion suddenly disappeared and diminished, as if a mute button had been pressed.
The flames and thick smoke quickly subsided, revealing the figure of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Clearly, at the moment of the explosion, he vanished from his spot and disappeared into the alternate dimension of "Daheitian".
He chose the most direct and effective way to deal with it.
Hide inside.
He hid in the "Great Black Heaven" alternate dimension, which was independent of the real world and under his control.
There, no matter how long the countless explosive tags outside could explode or how terrifying their power was, they could not harm him in the slightest.
All he needs to do is wait inside until the explosion stops and things calm down, then come out and kill the three men.
But now—
"puff!"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knelt on one knee, lowered his head, and spat out a mouthful of purple blood, which sizzled as it hit the ground.
"What, are you kidding me?!"
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with terrifying bloodshot veins, staring intently at Nagato and the other two in the distant sky.
His gentlemanly attire was tattered in the explosion, and his exposed skin was covered with large patches of eerie and terrifying purple scars and sores.
These scars and sores, like vines, spread upwards along his neck, past his jaw, and eroded half of his cheek, making his face look ferocious and terrifying.
"You bastard!!"
Otsutsuki Isshiki roared, glaring at the expressionless Hanzo and shouting, "What exactly did you put in my Daikokuten?!"
"What did you put in?"
Hanzo, who needed to lean on Nagato to stand, slowly revealed a smile of pleasure and coldness on his face.
"Of course it's poison."
"A poison specially prepared just for you!"
poison? !
"Impossible!" Otsutsuki Isshiki blurted out, the churning blood and qi within his body and the erosion that clung to his bones causing him to cough up another mouthful of foul blood.
"Cough! How could there possibly be 'poison' that could turn me into this state, and besides—"
He couldn't understand it.
He is an Otsutsuki!
It is an existence that stands at the pinnacle of life!
Any toxin should have no effect on him!
"I didn't know before that there was any poison in this world that could truly affect a 'monster' like you—"
Hanzo raised his hand, pointed to the scars that remained on his body, and said hoarsely, "I have to thank that sickly bastard from Konoha named Hayate Gekko for this."
"In our previous encounter, he used that ninja tool called 'Herpes Miasma' to severely injure me in a way that was almost like a curse and poison—"
"It was that time that finally made me understand what kind of poison could truly threaten your self-proclaimed god-like existence."
Hanzo looked at the purplish-black sores spreading across Isshiki's body and said hoarsely, "This body of yours isn't your original body, is it?"
"You are currently in the same state of thawing and recovery as the 'Wedge,' an incomplete entity residing on the 'Vessel' that has not yet fully recovered."
"Therefore, as long as I destroy your body, I can truly kill you, kill you, the one hiding inside this 'vessel'."
"Kill me?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki stared intently at Hanzo, his eyes growing increasingly ferocious. "With you weak ants? With this worthless poison?!"
"Otsutsuki Isshiki!" Hanzo suddenly let out a hoarse, maniacal laugh. "So this is what a ninja is!"
"We are indeed very weak; in your eyes, we are perhaps no different from ants!"
"But you'll never understand that the outcome of a ninja's battle is never solely determined by strength!"
"It's a battle of intelligence! A battle of wits! A battle of targeted strategies!"
"Once we have enough intelligence, analyze the enemy's weaknesses and the essence of their ninjutsu, we can then develop targeted ninjutsu, concoct poisons, and set traps —"
"Even the strongest enemy can be dragged down from their pedestal and killed by us!"
That's right.
This is the murder plot that Nagato, Konan, and Hanzo devised and planned, risking their lives, over countless days and nights.
They knew that Shiki possessed the "Daikokuten," an absolutely safe alternate dimension refuge.
Even a conventional attack, as powerful as six hundred billion explosive tags, would hardly pose a real threat to him hiding inside.
However, if————
Is that space itself no longer "safe"?
Inside the "Daikokuten," time is almost frozen, and almost nothing can move naturally within it. This is based on Hanzo's speculation about the abilities of the "Black Eyes."
But what if that space was pre-filled with a colorless, odorless, and invisible deadly poison?
What if this deadly poison was specifically formulated to target the "Otsutsuki clan"?
When Shiki was forced to flee into the "Great Black Heaven" by the external explosion, the first breath of "air" he inhaled was already filled with deadly traps.
"You guys—ugh!"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki opened his mouth as if to say something, but then suddenly bent over and spat out a mouthful of almost black, foul blood, mixed with a pool of rotten flesh that looked like internal organs.
He could clearly feel that the internal organs of this "Cixian" body, this "vessel" that carried his soul and power, were being corroded and rotten by that strange toxin.
Thinking of this, Otsutsuki Isshiki's indifferent expression completely shattered, leaving only a twisted ferocity and overwhelming killing intent as he stared intently at the three people in the distance.
He was especially glaring at Hanzo, wishing he could tear him to pieces.
Nagato stepped forward, shielding Konan and Hanzo behind him, slowly raised his hand, and said, "Otsutsuki Isshiki—"
"I will see you off on your final journey."
