Chapter 108 Harnessing The Power of Nature

In mid-air, Hagoromo looked down at the explosions below, his expression now completely serious.

Naruto's mastery of chakra far exceeded his expectations. The technique of packing multiple Tailed Beast Balls inside a single one was something he had never seen before.

As soon as the outer layer of Chakra was disrupted, the Yin and Yang Nature Chakra inside would instantly detonate, creating a terrifying explosion. This was pure, unadulterated destruction, and even the Rinnegan couldn't absorb such an attack.

Seeing Naruto preparing to unleash another Tailed Beast Ball, Hagoromo controlled his blue Susanoo to circle high in the sky.

Despite the blue Susanoo's towering height of 100 meters, its speed was so fast that it was nearly impossible for the naked eye to track, making it difficult for Naruto's Tailed Beast Balls to hit their mark.

After firing several Tailed Beast Balls without success, Naruto suddenly found that the surrounding environment seemed to have changed a little, and the sky and the earth changed color.

The originally cloudless sky had turned dark and ominous.

Rumble-

Above Mount Myoboku, thick clouds had gathered without warning.

Within the dense clouds, countless bolts of terrifying lightning churned and rolled. The thunder was deafening, and arcs of electricity were clearly visible.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as Hagoromo's blue Susanoo circled in the air, several massive bolts of lightning struck its back.

Sparks of electricity flickered and quickly spread across the Susanoo's entire body.

Bathed in lightning, the Susanoo wasn't harmed. Instead, it seemed to have been 'enchanted' by the electricity. The Chakra Sword in its hand now crackled with the power of lightning.

Naruto fired several more Tailed Beast Bombs, attempting to disperse the sudden storm clouds.

But within the roaring sea of lightning, Hagoromo's blue Susanoo had already finished charging. The Chakra Sword in its hand had transformed into pure lightning.

Naruto, watching the blue Susanoo now enveloped in lightning, couldn't help but marvel at Hagoromo's Chakra manipulation skills.

Since his own Chakra Reserves are insufficient, Hagoromo had borrowed the power of nature to enhance his attack. Although Naruto didn't know how Hagoromo had created such a thunderstorm, it gave him a new idea.

'It was similar to Sasuke Uchiha's self-created S-rank Lightning Release technique, Kirin.'

'Attacks that harnessed the power of nature often had far greater destructive potential.'

However, he knew now wasn't the time for admiration. The blue Susanoo's wings flapped violently, and Hagoromo sent it diving down from the sky. The lightning-infused Chakra Sword in its hand slashed down toward Naruto.

This sword strike seemed to pierce the heavens, as if it could split the sky itself.

Seeing the descending sword, Naruto felt a strong sense of danger. The lightning wrapped around the blade felt like divine wrath, and the sheer pressure of the attack made it hard to breathe.

He instinctively wanted to dodge, but when he sensed the sword's locked-on trajectory, he realized there was no escape. He had to face this strike head-on.

The sword, carrying immense pressure and a sharp, cutting aura, descended like a bolt of lightning. Naruto's eyes focused intently on the blade. The more tense the situation, the clearer his mind became, and a flash of insight crossed his thoughts.

At that moment, the nine tails behind his Susanoo suddenly transformed, taking the shape of arms. Each of the nine hands gripped a sword hilt, and from the hilts, pitch-black Chakra Blades emerged. Naruto crossed the blades in front of him, forming a solid defense to meet Hagoromo's overwhelming strike.

Boom!

The two black blades clashed with Hagoromo's lightning-infused sword, creating a deafening sound. There were no sparks, but the sheer force of the impact distorted the air around them. Naruto and Hagoromo's Susanoo were locked in a stalemate, their powers evenly matched.

In that instant, the four limbs of Naruto's Susanoo, which were supporting its body on the ground, sank deep into the earth. Seven of the nine Chakra Blades in its hands shattered, leaving only two to barely withstand Hagoromo's charged attack.

The ground trembled violently once more, and dust filled the air. The shockwaves from the clash of swords swept through the area like a hurricane, lifting massive amounts of dirt into the sky.

Centered around Naruto, the ground within a radius of dozens of miles began to collapse, cracking like a spider's web.

Crackle--

The lightning on Hagoromo's blue Susanoo's sword flickered, transforming into several electric serpents that coiled toward Naruto's Susanoo.

But if Naruto's Susanoo had managed to barely withstand Hagoromo's strongest attack, these electric serpents were nothing to him.

The Nine-Tails' Chakra on his body burst out, and the lightning snakes transmitted through the long sword were directly disintegrated.

At the same time, after a brief stalemate, the seven remaining tails behind Naruto's Susanoo recovered from the earlier attack. They formed fists and swung toward the blue Susanoo's head, aiming for the pentagonal crystal where Hagoromo stood.

Seeing this, Hagoromo quickly retreated, avoiding the fists formed by Naruto's tails.

He stared intently at the two black chakra blades in Naruto's tail-hands, feeling a deep sense of astonishment.

'Those blades weren't ordinary weapons formed from Chakra. They were created by perfectly fusing Yin and Yang Nature Chakra.'

Although not true Yin-Yang Release, this level of Shape Transformation using Yin and Yang Nature Chakra was incredibly close to it.

Unlike the simple combination of Yin and Yang Nature Chakra in a Tailed Beast Ball, Naruto had successfully fused them into a stable form. In the entire Ninja World, there were many who excelled in Yin or Yang Release, and some even mastered Yin-Yang Release.

Hagoromo remembered Nagato, the Uzumaki descendant who inherited the previous Indra's Rinnegan had mastered Yin-Yang Release. However, Nagato had achieved this by relying on the power of the Rinnegan.

In contrast, Naruto at this time only had the Mangekyo Sharingan, but he had already begun to touch the threshold of Yin-Yang Release, showcasing extraordinary potential and talent.

Hagoromo couldn't help but wonder just how terrifying Naruto would become if he were to obtain the Rinnegan.
