The Nine-Tails felt helpless; it was just a test, yet Yoruha resorted to using such a high-level jutsu. However, what the Nine-Tails didn't know was that this kind of jutsu was already quite basic for Yoruha.
After all, Wood Release was something Yoruha learned out of curiosity and never intended to use as a regular offensive technique.
Not only the Nine-Tails, but no one truly understood how powerful Yoruha was at this moment. In this world, aside from the mysterious Otsutsuki God, Yoruha had little interest in anyone else.
Looking at the majestic Susanoo below, Yoruha said calmly, "Nine-Tails, does this feel familiar to you?"
The Nine-Tails twitched its mouth, "I really want to beat you to death, you bastard. But we won't know how strong it really is until we try." Despite feeling that it would only be stronger, not weaker.
The Nine-Tails gathered its chakra again, concentrating all of it into hundreds of Tailed Beast Bombs in front of it. Even Sasuke didn't have enough chakra to infuse into all the Tailed Beast Bombs, so the extra hundreds were purely Tailed Beast Bombs.
Once the concentration was complete, the Nine-Tails immediately launched all the Tailed Beast Bombs. Yoruha waved his hand as well.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz~" Hundreds of Tailed Beast Bombs shot towards the Great Buddha, while thousands of Buddha hands behind the statue suddenly struck towards the Nine-Tails.
As the Buddha hands pierced through the air, they caused intense air distortion, whipping up a terrifying storm. The storm was like a massive Wind Release jutsu, instantly sweeping across dozens of kilometers.
Except for the Konoha Village protected by Yoruha, all the trees and mountains within dozens of kilometers were utterly destroyed by this storm.
The hundreds of Tailed Beast Bombs, like countless stars, collided with the thousands of Buddha hands and were scattered.
The energy shockwave from the explosion once again unleashed a terrifying impact. The ground, already turned into wasteland, was stripped of tens of meters of soil and rock.
The explosion produced a dazzling light, illuminating the surrounding dozens of kilometers like a sun. The Buddha hands struck the Nine-Tails.
In an instant, countless Buddha hands engulfed the small figure of the Nine-Tails, making it completely invisible.
The ground underwent another violent tremor, causing a massive earthquake that spread over a hundred kilometers, forming a spiderweb-like network of large canyons. Some of these canyons even erupted with magma from the depths of the earth.
Even a single strike triggered a catastrophic level of destruction. This apocalyptic devastation far exceeded the destruction caused by the battle between Madara and Hashirama back in the day.
To be precise, Yoruha's attack far surpassed the destruction of that time, and it wasn't just the people of Konoha who were shocked.
The Nine-Tails, bombarded by countless Buddha hands, suffered the most. Although it was a Tailed Beast and could be resurrected after being killed, was Yoruha really aiming to kill it?
Fortunately, once it was pinned to the ground, the Buddha hands ceased their assault. Otherwise, the Nine-Tails would have had to be reborn. Of course, that would also mean Naruto would be doomed.
Naturally, Yoruha wouldn't do such a thing. After a long while, the battle finally ended.
As the dust settled, the surrounding land lay shattered and fragmented. Within a radius of over a hundred kilometers, countless cracks spread out like a spider's web. Deep fissures, some tens of meters deep, were densely embedded in the earth.
This was only because Yoruha had pulled back in time; otherwise, the land within several hundred kilometers might have completely collapsed.
The battle was over. As the dust cleared, the Nine-Tails lay on the ground, panting heavily as it gazed at the towering Buddha that reached into the clouds.
The Buddha, standing over a thousand meters tall, was like a mountain. Some clouds even circled around it. The Nine-Tails looked on speechlessly, "It was just a test, was that really necessary?"
"I almost got beaten to death by you. Your Wood Release is even more outrageous than Hashirama's back in the day." Just moments ago, the Nine-Tails thought Yoruha's Wood Release was merely larger in scale, not necessarily more powerful than Hashirama's.
But after that strike, it realized how laughable its previous thoughts were.
Had Yoruha not stopped at the last moment, the Nine-Tails might have been reduced to ashes, not even leaving behind flesh and blood.
"No, not just Hashirama, even the Sage of Six Paths' Susanoo wasn't this ridiculous." The Sage's Susanoo was comparable in size to the Ten-Tails.
But the Nine-Tails was certain that Yoruha's Buddha surpassed the Sage's Susanoo in power. And that strike was probably just a simple attack from Yoruha's Wood Release. There were likely even stronger jutsu to come.
The Nine-Tails chuckled bitterly, "This guy is growing way too fast. Before, I sensed he was strong, but not quite at Hashirama's level.
I never expected that in just three years, he'd reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths." The surrounding land was utterly devastated, the forest gone, leaving only a scarred and wounded terrain, with shocking ravines and gorges, as if the earth itself had been gravely injured.
The Nine-Tails was convinced that Yoruha's current strength was on par with the Sage of Six Paths. This was incredibly terrifying. And Yoruha was only 16 years old. Could he surpass the Sage in the future?
Could he truly reach the level of Kaguya Otsutsuki? The Nine-Tails knew well how powerful Kaguya was, though her mind wasn't quite right, which was understandable since she wasn't a fighter by nature. After consuming the God Tree's fruit, she could subdue everything with sheer power.
She never had the chance to use those abilities, lacking any practical experience. In the end, she was sealed by her two sons. But in terms of raw power, Kaguya was undeniably formidable.
Based on Yoruha's recent display, he was already on par with the Sage of Six Paths, and who knew if that was his full strength. Regardless, he was only 16, with plenty of room to grow. In the future, he might very well surpass the Sage and even reach Kaguya's level.
Thinking of this, the Nine-Tails burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Yoruha, I wasn't wrong about you. You're truly outrageous, everything about you is outrageous." Standing atop the wooden figure's head,
Yoruha surveyed the devastated landscape, realizing the kind of destruction his jutsu could wreak upon the world. Within a hundred kilometers, life was likely wiped out.
Not a single tree or blade of grass remained. And this was just a casual strike from Yoruha. "It's really quite absurd. The theoretical data and the reality are worlds apart."
