Chapter 123 - Chapter 54: Change of Plans, Direct Attack on Their Base!

Fakes are just fakes!

Watching that ugly giant beast, which had been dancing on the edge of his bottom line, get completely destroyed by this Tailed Beast Ball, Kurama finally felt the suppressed resentment in his heart release slightly.

Perhaps at some moment, he had also hated his own fate.

Had also questioned the meaning of his creation.

But he was clear that the Sage of Six Paths hadn't created him to be a weapon of war!

The nine-tailed beasts were originally supposed to become balancers of natural energy, not walking natural disasters.

The truly guilty ones should be those who used their power to wage war against each other.

He wasn't what those humans said, a mindless calamity that only brought destruction.

Not to mention that Kurama seemed to have broken through some kind of mental barrier.

Naruto regained control of his body, but instead of continuing his actions, he stood in place thoughtfully gesturing with his palms.

The chakra from earlier had given him a very peculiar feeling. It wasn't the wind, fire, water, earth, and lightning attributes he had mastered over these years in different natural environments.

But rather a kind...

A kind of chakra attribute that existed naturally within his body, hidden there all along.

He had never noticed it before, but after experiencing it firsthand today, Naruto finally understood where that sense of "disharmony" he'd always felt came from.

Actually experiencing the fusion process of the Tailed Beast Ball also gave him another understanding of the Rasengan.

"Nine-Tails, what was that chakra attribute just now, that chakra filled with life force and willpower?"

"..."

Naruto's sudden question left Kurama somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected that they weren't even out of combat yet, and Naruto was thinking about this.

But after a few seconds of silence, Kurama still answered him.

Perhaps because he didn't want to be "outdone" by Naruto's trust this time.

Or perhaps because this fusion had allowed Kurama to understand Naruto's heart to some degree.

In any case, his impression of Naruto was much better than before.

"That's Yin-Yang attribute chakra."

"Yang-attribute chakra governs life creation, while Yin-attribute is related to spiritual power."

Don't let the Nine-Tails' beast appearance fool you. His knowledge was extensive.

Even Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," would be junior level compared to him.

Moreover, "Yin-Yang attribute chakra" wasn't really very secret knowledge. It was just that Naruto, with only his ninja academy graduation diploma, had no place to learn it, which is why he'd never figured it out.

Now it made sense.

Naruto had been wondering about it.

Fire Release and Water Release ninjutsu had traceable patterns, but whether it was medical ninjutsu or those ninja clan secret techniques, they didn't seem related to the five elemental chakras at all.

Green light emerged from his palm.

Feeling the vitality in medical ninjutsu chakra, Naruto actually began imitating the Nine-Tails in forming a Tailed Beast Ball.

"You..."

Kurama watched speechlessly.

Naruto worked at it for a while. Yang-attribute chakra gushed from his palm, but the Yin-attribute chakra representing spiritual power was nowhere to be seen.

"Stop thinking about it. This body of yours doesn't have..."

The Nine-Tails opened his mouth to get Naruto to focus on the current battle but was completely shocked by the scene before him.

In Naruto's palm, Yang-attribute chakra representing life force was combining with another power.

That was Conqueror's Haki, also derived from spiritual power!

Sizzle, sizzle...

A black-red sphere quietly floated in the center of Naruto's palm, occasionally flashing with electric arcs.

"This..."

Looking at this sphere that even he couldn't identify, Kurama was momentarily speechless.

"See, it's not that difficult."

Like a child who had just made a toy, Naruto somewhat excitedly showed off to Kurama.

Of course, in others' eyes, he was just inexplicably talking to himself.

At this moment, Killingham, who had just escaped as a phantom, returned to the battlefield. Seeing that Naruto didn't seem to notice him, he immediately activated his ability with full force.

Countless nightmare powers surged from others' dreams.

This time they didn't transform into various monsters but flowed like water directly into Killingham's body.

Killingham's originally half-human, half-beast body immediately changed form.

He went on all fours, nightmare power forming clouds floating around him, his originally human-sized body magnified more than ten times under the power enhancement.

"Die!"

The trident, formed from nightmares and wrapped in Haki, fiercely stabbed toward Naruto from behind.

Bang!

Smoke dispersed, leaving only a wooden log in place.

Before Killingham could react, a voice rang out above his head.

"Perfect, let me test this on you."

Then came intense pain.

The "pseudo-Tailed Beast Ball" formed by mixing Haki and Yang Release chakra in proportion was much more powerful than a Rasengan.

Silently, this Tailed Beast Ball pierced through Killingham's body, then continued flying downward with undiminished momentum.

It was only detonated after touching the Red Line's ground.

BOOM!!!

Perhaps because the "compression" power wasn't sufficient, this explosion's range wasn't as large as the Tailed Beast Ball the Nine-Tails had personally released, but its momentum was no less impressive.

Not only that, the two powers from different worlds seemed to have produced some kind of chemical reaction. Cracks spread from the explosion's epicenter toward the surrounding air.

Space itself seemed to show spider web-like cracks.

But these cracks only lasted for an extremely brief moment before immediately disappearing, as if they had never appeared at all.

Of course, Naruto, with his Observation Haki enhanced by Nine-Tails chakra, wouldn't miss this detail.

However, he had no mind to consider this now.

Because he had used the "pseudo-Tailed Beast Ball" like a Rasengan, he was far too close to the explosion point.

So much so that after the explosion, its power even affected Naruto himself.

Whew...

Falling from the air, Naruto looked at his half-destroyed tailed beast cloak and the burn marks on his upper body, clicking his tongue.

It seemed this technique wasn't perfected yet. At least it couldn't be used at point-blank range.

Little did he know that Kurama was already dumbfounded.

He had actually witnessed a human cast a Tailed Beast Ball without relying on Tailed Beast Mode.

Yes, despite Naruto currently wearing the tailed beast cloak, that chakra ball just now hadn't used the Nine-Tails' power at all.

In other words, even if the Nine-Tails were sealed back up now, Naruto could still form another one.

Looking at Killingham, who had been pierced and then caught in the explosion, only half a hoof remained, falling to the ground.

His body was still trying to "regrow" under some kind of power.

But this recovery force seemed to be suppressed by the Conqueror's Haki in the "pseudo-Tailed Beast Ball," completely unable to fully recover for the time being.

This Celestial Dragon noble, who enjoyed playing with others' fear, slowly lost his life in this struggle.

The other God's Knights members on the battlefield witnessed their companion's death.

This cast a shadow over their hearts; even Gunko, who usually showed no emotional fluctuations, was no exception.

Naruto's mood, on the other hand, was completely different.

Originally, he had only planned to recreate the classic operation from over ten years ago.

Now it seemed he could do much more.

Why not go all out and directly level Mary Geoise!
