hum!
A deeper and more dangerous aura surged from Isshiki Otsutsuki's body, making the surrounding air seem heavy.
He stretched out his hand and firmly grasped the black rod, which was about one meter long.
"Be careful!"
Hanzo felt a chill run down his spine and issued a warning without hesitation.
However, Otsutsuki Isshiki's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
Relying on the shared vision with Hanzo, Nagato instinctively swung his katana the instant the attack vanished, aiming with all his might at what appeared to be empty space beside him—
Clang!
A piercing metallic clang rang out, sparks flying.
Otsutsuki Isshiki appeared like a ghost beside Nagato, his black staff slashing down, but Nagato narrowly blocked the blow.
However, holding on doesn't mean you can fight back.
"snort.
""
With a cold snort, the muscles in his arm gripping the black rod tightened, and a terrifying force erupted from the rod.
Nagato groaned, and the wound on his hand that had just healed burst open again, splattering blood. He flew backward uncontrollably, his feet carving two furrows in the ground.
Isshiki stood still, watching Nagato fly backwards towards the harbor's sea, his eyes suddenly narrowing.
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Several black rods, shrunk by "Shaoming Kunguna," appeared out of thin air in front of him, returned to their original size, and shot towards his vital points.
clang!clang!clang!
Nagato, flying backwards in mid-air, suppressed the churning of his blood and qi, and with his katana transforming into a flash of light, he slashed repeatedly, deflecting the black rods that were aimed at his brow, heart, and throat.
Clusters of dazzling sparks shot out, but the black rods that were aimed at non-vital points also pierced Nagato's body, and blood splattered out with a "plop".
"The Dance of Shikigami!"
Just as Otsutsuki Isshiki was about to give chase, Konan, who was in the air, reacted and her huge paper wings flapped violently.
Countless white paper pieces peeled off the wings, becoming incredibly sharp, transforming into a flurry of paper blades that rained down on the Otsutsuki Isshiki below.
The sound of the paper blade slicing through the air was sharp and piercing, but Otsutsuki Isshiki didn't even look up at this powerful attack. He simply slid his foot back slightly and floated backward.
Boom!
A flurry of paper blades chased after him, constantly piercing the ground in front of him, yet they couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
"Only this level of attack—"
Pursued by those paper blades, Isshiki retreated to the sea with a blank expression, thinking indifferently, not even bothering to use "Shumei Bikona" to shrink these paper pieces.
However, just as he stood on the sea surface...
The paper blades that were inserted into the ground and water surface had the character "爆" (explode) appear on their surfaces. The paper disguise was removed, and they turned into a dense array of explosive symbols that glowed.
"Boom!" Xiao Nan's low shout rang out.
Boom! Boom!!
A deafening explosion rang out.
Flames shot into the sky, thick smoke billowed, and violent shockwaves spread in all directions. The power of the explosion was so intense that it even set the sea ablaze.
The seawater boiled and vaporized at high temperatures, emitting a hissing, piercing sound.
Boom boom boom!
Xiao Nan's attacks did not stop; more pieces of paper turned into explosive tags, shooting into the churning sea of fire and smoke, constantly causing explosions.
The roar continued incessantly, and the flames illuminated half the sky, as if trying to wipe that sea area and everything in it from the world.
However, at the center of the flames and explosions, Otsutsuki Isshiki stood quietly above the boiling seawater and flames, his face still calm and composed, only slowly raising his hands.
"Naive." He uttered two words softly, and the wedge-shaped patterns on his palm lit up slightly, as the flames gathered towards his hand and were completely absorbed.
"If you think you can rebel against me with something like this," Otsutsuki Isshiki said coldly, "then I might actually get a little angry at being looked down upon like this."
"You are more foolish than I thought. You could have shared the final fruits with me, but instead you are rushing to your deaths for some trivial and meaningless things."
I can't understand it at all.
Ichishi couldn't understand the ideas of these three idiots at all.
They were nothing more than insignificant humans, insignificant inferior beings.
"I knew it, you are darkness."
Konan gritted her teeth, raised her trembling arm, and pointed her palm at Otsutsuki Isshiki, saying, "If someone like you succeeds, this world will be left with only darkness."
"In a world without light, flowers will only wither."
"So—" she took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Go to hell!"
Rumble!!
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea beneath Isshiki Otsutsuki's feet, which had been turbulent due to the explosion, began to recede slowly to both sides, like a stage curtain.
No, it's not that the seawater has receded.
It is the "seawater" itself that is shedding its disguise.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki hovered in the air, his eyes slightly lowered as he looked down.
The ocean beneath our feet, which should have been bottomless, now revealed its true form.
--Paper.
Endless, densely packed, layer upon layer, tightly piled up, stretching to the horizon, with no end in sight!
They lay quietly below, stretching into the distance, as if the entire vast sea had long been replaced and covered by these pieces of paper.
"These things—" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned slightly, "are they all explosive tags?"
When?
"Do you think we did nothing while you were away from the ninja world?"
Konan stared intently at Isshiki and said, "The only reason the three of us are still alive is to kill you! Otsutsuki Isshiki!"
The Art of the God of Paper!
It can transform specially treated paper into various forms that mimic the myriad things in the world, and even perfectly disguise six hundred billion explosive tags as a vast ocean.
The essence of this technique lies not only in the realism of the changed appearance, but also in its ability to completely simulate the characteristics and aura of the object being changed, similar to the mimicry ability of White Zetsu.
In the original work, even Obito Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan could not see through the paper disguised as seawater.
At this moment, even Otsutsuki Isshiki's Byakugan was fooled.
No wonder—
Otsutsuki Isshiki hovered above the boundless sea of paper, sweeping across the dense, unsettling array of explosive tags below.
"You've allowed Yangyan Village to secretly produce and stockpile explosive tags for so long, yet we've never seen you use them on a large scale."
Yishi slowly said, "So, from the very beginning, it wasn't meant to be war reserves for the five great powers, but rather you diverted them and used them here—"
"To use against me."
His gaze then shifted to Hanzo in the distance, looking at the white wedge on Hanzo's body and the incomplete black eye.
"It seems you think you've analyzed my abilities quite thoroughly," said Yishi.
