No roar, no blast, no blinding light.
Under everyone's stunned gaze...
A black bolt of thunder shot down from the sky, like a thunder god descending, clawing and roaring like a unicorn. The blue Susanoo held the thunder in its hand, turning the whole sky into a realm of lightning. Countless black thunderbolts came with the unicorn's massive body.
Tailed Beast Bomb?
The moment the black thunder fell, the ten Tailed Beast Bombs didn't even make a sound. They shattered and scattered under the thunder's attack.
Truth-Seeking Ball?
Truth-Seeking Ball couldn't block Kamui's attack either. Every bolt of thunder carried Kamui's power, and each strike made the Truth-Seeking Ball break more.
It was more like being cut apart by space than just being destroyed.
This is... Kakashi's power!
Sakura stood behind Kakashi, mouth wide open as she watched ahead. She felt the power of this technique most directly. Anything hit by the thunder would either tear apart or get crushed. There was no other option.
As for an energy clash like you mentioned?
No way. Kamui won't let you explode. It shatters the space you're in right away, not giving you a chance to blow up.
Sakura swallowed hard, staring at Kakashi's back with full shock.
"Not done yet!" Sasuke looked at the huge unicorn, his voice unconsciously excited.
The black unicorn stared at the massive Tailed Beast Form Ten-Tails and bit down... The Ten-Tails' shell, which even Six Paths powers couldn't break, got torn off in a big chunk. The Tailed Beast Form Ten-Tails only had time to throw its head back in a long howl before the black unicorn bit again.
With each bite, a piece of the Ten-Tails' shell tore off. And with its claws, each swing left a huge mark on the Ten-Tails' shell.
Bite after bite... strike after strike...
How fast was the thunder? No one knew, but they felt like it was just a blink or a moment of daze. The ten huge Tailed Beast Bombs vanished. The oppressive Truth-Seeking Ball Tailed Beast Bomb got crushed too. The Tailed Beast Form Ten-Tails' huge body was sliced up like chopped meat.
Kakashi panted heavily as he watched, his smile turning totally relaxed.
He turned to Sakura, his tone gentle: "Sakura, thanks for your support."
"Huh?" Sakura hadn't snapped out of it yet.
Kakashi said no more. His Mangekyo Sharingan closed, turning back to a normal eye. The blue Susanoo slowly faded, and his body started falling backward.
After unleashing such a powerful strike, all his strength was used up. Kakashi... fainted for the first time from total chakra exhaustion.
At that moment, everyone watched the mess ahead in silence. The huge Tailed Beast Form Ten-Tails was now in pieces. Fragments floated in the air, not sure if they were chakra or something else. Even the tail made of the ten tailed beasts' heads was torn and ragged.
Hashirama's face lit up with excitement, cheeks a bit red: "So strong! Madara, did you see that? Such strong ninjutsu! Such a strong attack! That's our reliable ninja from Konoha!"
"..." Madara didn't answer right away, but his look at Kakashi had rare approval.
An attack like that—even the old him and Hashirama would struggle to handle.
"No chakra explosion needed. The purest, most basic ninjutsu nature." Madara looked at the clouds in the sky that hadn't fully cleared, then shifted his gaze to Kakashi. "Among the ninjas I know, your ninjutsu skill is the strongest. Even Hashirama and I couldn't pull off something this powerful without Six Paths power."
"You... are without doubt the strongest ninjutsu-type ninja in this world. I... Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you."
"Hatake Kakashi."
Madara smirked, his Mangekyo Sharingan spinning in both eyes. Under the stimulus of Six Paths power, it faintly showed signs of evolving to Rinnegan, but... it was missing something, so it couldn't upgrade fully yet.
But Madara didn't mind. The essence of eye techniques is still ninjutsu. He'd already mastered all of Rinnegan's eye powers long ago. Their strength wasn't as good as the real thing, but not weak either.
Sakura supported Kakashi as they landed on the ground. Seeing his smiling fainted face, she took a deep breath. Medical ninjutsu light glowed, steadily restoring his lost energy.
"No more Kamui." Hashirama watched Kakashi and scratched his head.
Sasuke came up to Hashirama, his hook-patterned Rinnegan slowly spinning:
"No problem, Hashirama great-grandpa. I've fully mastered Yomotsu Hirasaka. Even if Kaguya uses some hard-to-dodge ninjutsu again, I can move us all out."
"I know that." Hashirama nodded. "But without Kamui, the people stuck in Kamui's space have to wait for Kakashi to wake up to get out."
There were still lots of people waiting in Kamui's space, like the five Kage and others.
Naruto rubbed the back of his head nearby, tone thoughtful: "Hmm... is there a chance—I'm just saying a chance—that Kakashi-sensei's Sharingan is a trial version? Once the chakra Obito left runs out, it stops working?"
Hashirama: "..."
Sasuke: "..."
The two exchanged a look, clear confusion in their eyes.
Wait, Kakashi's Kamui is a trial version? Doesn't that mean... once his chakra's gone, he can't use it? What about the people in Kamui's space?
Hashirama chuckled dryly and asked: "Sasuke, can your Yomotsu Hirasaka connect to Kamui's space?"
"It can connect... " Sasuke's mouth twitched. "But I don't know where Kamui's space is. To find it would take some time. Not long... just a few years."
Hashirama: "..."
This... what now?
Madara held back the urge to punch Hashirama, speaking in a tone almost rolling his eyes: "Hashirama, after all these years, your stupidity still surprises me. I hate that guy, but did you forget? You have a brother."
Hashirama suddenly got it: "Oh yeah, I still have Tobirama."
Once it clicked, Hashirama laughed heartily and kept slapping Madara's shoulder: "Hahaha, Madara, as expected from you. You're my best bro!"
Madara narrowed his eyes with killing intent: "Don't touch my shoulder."
"Oh." Hashirama obeyed and switched to patting Madara's back.
Can't you understand plain words? Veins popped on Madara's forehead.
I really still hate this guy.
Everyone joked around happily with each other. Even Sakura, healing Kakashi on the ground, smiled. Her look at Kakashi shifted from worry to admiration.
Only one person... oh wait, one fox.
Only one fox looked totally down.
Kurama held the fully grown chakra fruit, frustrated as he watched the happy faces above.
To be fair, I'm the main character in this book, right?
