Chapter 340: Hagoromo Gengetsu's Determination

Chapter 340: Hagoromo Gengetsu's Determination

Unsure if Naruto would make a reckless move, Hagoromo Gengetsu clapped his hands together.

"Omniversal Way: Silver Lightning!"

In an instant, blinding silver lightning surged around Hagoromo Gengetsu. All of Naruto's shadow clones that had rushed forward were instantly dissipated into white smoke. The silver lightning coalesced into a massive silver thunder dragon, which, moving with a speed far beyond normal lightning, struck Ōtsutsuki Kaguya before she could make her move.

Zzzzt!!

A dazzling burst of silver light exploded from the point of impact centered on Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Immediately following this, with a sharp sound of air being sliced, Kaguya was violently thrown to the side. Her body was paralyzed, wrapped in silver lightning, and her robe, along with parts of her body, was charred black.

Omniversal Way.

This is one of the unique abilities granted by Hagoromo Gengetsu's Bloodline Encompassing. As someone who has mastered all seven chakra natures to the extreme, Hagoromo Gengetsu, upon ascending to the Bloodline Encompassing, gained an incredible new level of understanding of chakra, allowing him to alter and further optimize its structure.

The effect of Omniversal Way is to evolve standard jutsu to a higher form: lightning-based jutsu that should be blue becomes silver, increasing both power and speed; fire-based jutsu that should be red turns into golden flames, which are much hotter and more enduring, and so on.

Omniversal Way applies not only to ordinary ninjutsu but also to Six Paths techniques. This means that even the same Six Paths technique in Hagoromo Gengetsu's hands is far more powerful than when used by other Six Paths-level beings.

Moreover, most of the sealing techniques required by the Rinnegan cannot absorb the Omniversal Way's jutsu.

The damage inflicted on Ōtsutsuki Kaguya with just one strike proves this point.

Before long, the once pristine and ethereal Kaguya, having steadied herself, looked considerably worse for wear. Silver serpents of lightning still coiled around her long blue-white hair, one sleeve was burnt and tattered, revealing an arm that should have been pale and flawless, but now looked like charred coal.

And then there was Black Zetsu, reduced to a small fragment.

"Mother..." Black Zetsu weakly spoke.

If his mother hadn't protected him just now, he might not even be able to speak at this point.

It was obvious that Hagoromo Gengetsu had deliberately aimed at him.

"Rest now," Kaguya said with satisfaction, regarding the third "son" she had hastily created, who had a precious filial heart. To prevent Black Zetsu from being harmed further, she merged him back into her body, allowing the severely injured Black Zetsu to rest.

Kaguya then spread her arms wide, and with a single pulse of her body, the remaining silver sparks in her hair, the charred sections of her robe, and her damaged arm all instantly returned to their pristine state.

This is what makes Six Paths-level beings so hard to kill, especially after consuming the Chakra Fruit and attaining immortality.

"If I can't kill you, then I'll just have to weaken you to the extreme," Hagoromo Gengetsu murmured, his gaze sharpening. He summoned blades of wind that transformed into majestic, razor-sharp eagles, slicing towards Kaguya with deadly precision.

Kaguya's expression turned cold. Her long hair extended, wrapping around her body for protection, while rabbit hair needles, guided by her Byakugan, shot out like a torrential rain, targeting the weak points of Hagoromo Gengetsu's Six Paths techniques and aiming to strike his vital chakra points.

The terrifying battle between two Six Paths-level beings erupted once more.

Though Hagoromo Gengetsu and Kaguya's focus was entirely on each other, the surrounding area was not spared from the collateral damage.

Before Naruto could even react, many of his shadow clones were wiped out in the crossfire.

"These two really think they're invincible, don't they?!"

Naruto recalled how he had lured Kaguya earlier using Truth-Seeking Balls, with his true body hiding nearby, ready to strike. But then, Hagoromo Gengetsu's Six Paths technique had swooped in, stealing the moment.

Now, as Kaguya and Hagoromo Gengetsu clashed, tearing through the battlefield, Naruto found his vision blurring as they collided at blinding speeds.

Naruto clenched his fists. Being ignored like this made him incredibly frustrated.

It was time to prove himself.

"Those two arrogant fools! I'll show them my ultimate technique!"

"Just so you know, I've been secretly practicing this for longer than I practiced the Rasengan!" Naruto muttered to himself, forming the hand seals for Shadow Clone Jutsu again.

With a series of poofs, a massive army of nearly two thousand shadow clones appeared.

Under Naruto's command, the army split into two groups. He didn't rush in recklessly but instead observed the ongoing battle between the two.

Finally!

Seeing a moment where they separated and paused, Naruto made his move.

"Now's the time!!"

With a wave of his hand, a thousand clones charged towards Hagoromo Gengetsu and another thousand towards Kaguya.

Naruto intentionally made a big commotion, drawing both Hagoromo Gengetsu and Kaguya's attention.

At that instant, all of Naruto's shadow clones performed hand seals simultaneously.

"Sexy Jutsu: Harem Technique!"

"Sexy Jutsu: Reverse Harem Technique!"

Poof, poof, poof, poof!

In the ensuing clouds of white smoke, thousands of beautiful women and men, flaunting their charm, appeared before Hagoromo Gengetsu and Kaguya.

Among them, Hagoromo Gengetsu recognized several famous beauties from the ninja world.

Meanwhile, on Kaguya's side, she saw a variety of men, including Sasuke, Neji, Shikamaru, Yamato, and even Hagoromo Gengetsu himself.

In her thousand years of existence, Kaguya had never witnessed such a sight.

Her usually cold and stunning face froze in shock.

Even the otherworldly, aloof Kaguya was rendered speechless.

As for Hagoromo Gengetsu, more grounded in reality, although he had seen plenty, he was equally stunned by the overwhelming and unprecedented spectacle, his reaction almost instinctive.

"As expected! The stronger the target, the more effective the Sexy Jutsu!"

A victorious smile spread across Naruto's face.

No need for teamwork; he could handle this on his own.

Zoom, zoom!

As Hagoromo Gengetsu and Kaguya stood momentarily dazed, two golden-clad Narutos, who had been lying in wait, dashed out from the crowd, appearing by their sides in an instant.

The Naruto on Hagoromo Gengetsu's side wielded a black staff formed from a Truth-Seeking Ball, thrusting it forcefully towards Hagoromo Gengetsu's head. Simultaneously, the remaining Truth-Seeking Balls launched an attack, targeting various parts of Hagoromo Gengetsu's body.

On Kaguya's side, the real Naruto decisively extended his right hand, aiming the sun and moon marks left by the Sage of Six Paths on his palm towards Kaguya, intending to seal her completely.

"I did it!!"

As Naruto's grin widened, his eyes lit up with excitement, seeing Hagoromo Gengetsu and Kaguya within arm's reach.

Suddenly!

The black staff in the hand of Naruto on Hagoromo Gengetsu's side struck nothing but air. The Truth-Seeking Balls also missed their mark.

Hagoromo Gengetsu's body vanished without warning.

"Space-time ninjutsu? Genjutsu? No, that's not it!"

Naruto, shocked and confused, quickly turned his head and noticed a familiar chakra appearing behind him. Hagoromo Gengetsu's figure was re-emerging from the chakra.
