Chapter 374 - Naruto: The Otsutsuki Naruto-Chapter 374: Post-War Aftermath (Part Five)

—Phaseless Heavenly Hand Realm!

Whoosh!

Sasuke suddenly teleported out of the Limbo attack range!

Madara's gaze sharpened as his Rinnegan vision revealed the barrier's outline: "Hmm? Could that be..."

Under the rain shelter, the spectators watched.

Hiruzen said in confusion: "What just happened?"

Though Tobirama couldn't see either, he could predict: "Without a doubt, Madara must have launched an attack using those invisible Limbo shadows, then Sasuke used his own ocular jutsu to escape Limbo. But moving such a distance in an instant seems to far exceed Sasuke's ocular technique range."

Hashirama stared intently upward: "A barrier—a barrier has expanded with Sasuke at its center!"

Tobirama had a realization: "That barrier, like Madara's damned Limbo shadows, can only be seen by the Rinnegan..."

Obito saw the essence: "That should be the effect of Sasuke's dual ocular powers activating simultaneously. I see—Amenotejikara and its reverse, though differently named, are essentially techniques of the same system. So when both eyes' powers activate together, they produce exponential returns!"

Yes, Phaseless Heavenly Hand Realm was the technique Sasuke could use when maximizing both eyes' ocular power!

This technique could expand an invisible barrier centered on himself, allowing him to arbitrarily swap the positions—even states—of objects within the barrier!

Because it replaced direct eye contact with a ranged barrier, even air could be 'easily' used as a medium for swapping!

Madara's gaze grew deep: "Though only for an extremely brief moment, when the barrier activated, Sasuke teleported to its edge, then the barrier moved with Sasuke. I see—this ability is quite troublesome. I absolutely cannot enter that barrier's range!"

"However... Sasuke won't attack me first because it's meaningless. So the real danger now is to the Limbo shadows!"

Madara responded with lightning speed, his eight Limbo shadows scattering in all directions at high velocity!

This way, Sasuke could only defeat them one by one rather than eliminate them all at once!

Sasuke's expression grew serious: "In such a short time, he's already made the most effective countermeasure..."

He locked onto a Limbo shadow on the right, swapping himself with air to teleport to the barrier's edge. The barrier maintained Sasuke as its center, so the edge expanded. After several teleportations, the barrier's edge encompassed one shadow!

Crackle...

In Sasuke's left palm, which bore the Yin Power, Six Paths black lightning appeared again—the most direct and effective weapon against Limbo!

Whoosh!

He teleported behind the Limbo shadow and successfully killed it instantly with Six Paths Chidori!

"Quick battle, quick victory..."

Sasuke repeated this method, successively hunting the shadows scattered in all directions. Soon, only one shadow remained!

Watching this scene, Obito smiled and sighed: "Sasuke has really shed his shell..."

"Whew!" Sasuke took a deep breath and launched his final assault on the last shadow!

"It's time..."

Madara's eyes focused as he swapped positions with the final shadow. His body was pierced by Sasuke's black lightning!

The substitution activated—Madara entered an 'invincible state'!

"!" Sasuke's eyes sharpened as he teleported back to the barrier's edge with a whoosh!

Madara's lips curved up: "Your dance today was particularly stunning, but is it alright? Your dual eye abilities seem to consume enormous amounts of chakra. To hunt down the shadows scattered in all directions, your ocular power is nearly depleted..."

Sasuke's face was pale and covered in sweat, but his gaze remained steady: "Your final shadow has been used up for substitution. The damage immunity lasts one minute. When time's up, I can easily finish you!"

Madara said with interest: "Then I'll settle you within this minute..."

Sasuke said in a low voice: "If you can do it, then try!"

Whoosh! The moment Madara approached, Sasuke used his ability to teleport continuously, rapidly distancing himself from Madara!

Madara's eyes narrowed slightly: "This multi-stage spatial movement doesn't require markers—in actual combat, it's even superior to Flying Thunder God..."

"But the current Sasuke clearly can't maintain this barrier while activating Susanoo. Keep up high-intensity pressure to exhaust his ocular power!"

Boom!Madara activated his Susanoo: Perfect Form, spreading his wings to pursue with full force. Coordinating with Susanoo, he connected his great sword's hilt to its sheath, forming the super-long divine weapon Qiankun Blade, launching ultra-long-range slashes that forced Sasuke to continuously consume ocular power, using Phaseless Heavenly Hand Realm to dodge!

Thump!

This was the sound of an accelerating heartbeat. Sasuke's expression grew grave: "Not good—my ocular power can barely hold out. Madara's damage immunity still has thirty seconds!"

Thirty seconds was extremely short, but in this 'extreme state,' it was incredibly long and torturous!

"Sasuke..." Itachi broke into a cold sweat for Sasuke.

"..." Obito was already prepared to reverse time and revive Sasuke.

"Ugh..." In the final ten seconds, Sasuke's eyes suddenly closed tight!

Whoosh!Phaseless Heavenly Hand Realm deactivated, and he fell to the ground.

When he opened his eyes again, the six tomoe in Sasuke'sRinnegan had disappeared, meaning he could no longer use Amenotejikara or its reverse!

Madara's lips curved up: "It seems this is your limit..."

Whoosh!

Susanoo spread its wings and advanced, launching a magatama directly downward!

Whooom!

Sasuke activated his half-body Susanoo, the Yata Mirror covering the front. With a clang, it deflected the magatama!

"Hmm? The Yata Mirror... still troublesome..."

Whoosh!

Susanoo deactivated as Madara landed and rapidly closed in.

"But the Yata Mirror can only cover one side. What can you do against omnidirectional saturation attacks..."

Madara clasped his hands together—the seal for Wood Release!

But at that moment, Sasuke's left eye suddenly widened.

—Indra's Arrow: Body Flicker Technique!

Crackle...

Accompanied by lightning descending from heaven, Sasuke suddenly appeared before Madara!

Madara's pupils contracted sharply: "This is how Indra used this technique..."

In the lightning, Sasuke raised the Kusanagi sword and thrust down fiercely: "I win. You can be reborn with humiliation in the whirlpool of time reversal. The cat is mine!"

Shing!

The blade... pierced through Madara's body!

But... no blood spurted out!

Sasuke's expression changed instantly: "How... could this be!"

Almost without thinking, he abandoned the sword and distanced himself from Madara, gripping his fan defensively!

Madara slowly pulled the Kusanagi sword from his body. The wound healed in the blink of an eye as he turned around holding the blade: "What makes you think one minute is the limit for invincibility after Limbo substitution? That's old news. I'm not the only one who grew through war, Sasuke..."

Whoosh!

Madara charged forward with the sword.

Sasuke gritted his teeth and met the attack with his fan!

Clang clang clang...

But after several rounds of weapon combat, the exhausted Sasuke was disarmed, his fan knocked away, and he fell to the ground!

"Hmph, Hana-chan is mine!" Madara used Universal Pull to draw the fan into his hand, then wielding both sword and fan, launched a killing blow at Sasuke.

Sasuke closed his eyes: "Of all times... in front of my brother..."

Boom!

At that moment, a figure powerfully entered the scene!

Naruto—in his left hand, something pitch-black condensed, spinning at high speed and compressing as it met the attack head-on!
