Tsunade boards the pirate ship

Chapter 99 Tsunade boards the pirate ship

Tsukuyomi Space.

The sky was a despairing dark red.

Countless Narutos were bound to crosses, stretching to the horizon.

Uchiha Itachi stood silently in front of Naruto, holding a long sword.

Although Naruto was tied to the cross, his eyes were looking around.

He looked at this world constructed of spiritual energy, and instead of fear, his eyes revealed a hint of interest, as if he had discovered a new toy.

"A world constructed purely of mental energy? How interesting—"

"This is the world of Tsukuyomi."

Itachi's voice was icy, as if it came from all directions at once.

"Here, time, space, quality—everything is under my control."

"A single moment in reality can be 72 hours here."

Itachi slowly raised his sword, the tip pressed against Naruto's heart: "No matter how strong your body is, here, you are just a lamb to the slaughter."

A glint of light flashed in Naruto's eyes: "You mean, you can control this world at will?"

"So all you can do is use it for torture? And even then, your methods are so unimaginative?"

"This is absolutely—a terrible waste!"

Naruto looked at Itachi, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.

Itachi's eyes turned cold.

"Tell me, what did you do to Sasuke? What exactly was that red liquid?"

"Otherwise, I will make you experience the ultimate pain."

As he spoke, he thrust his long sword down suddenly, wanting to give them a taste of their power.

However, before the blade could even touch Naruto's body, an indescribable aura suddenly erupted from Naruto's soul.

This aura was neither chakra nor ninjutsu.

Rather, it was a kind of tangible, almost tangible, spiritual pressure, like the arrival of a monarch.

Conqueror's Haki fully activated!

At the same time, the Hogyoku in Naruto's chest seemed to sense the host's will.

It began to vibrate violently, emitting a ghostly blue light.

Click!

A crack suddenly appeared on the blade that was about to pierce Naruto's body, and then it shattered into pieces and disappeared into the air.

"What?!"

Itachi's perpetually icy expression suddenly crumbled, and his pupils contracted sharply.

In his perception, the entire Tsukuyomi space was groaning in despair, as if it were being overwhelmed.

"No one in this world can be above my will."

Naruto slowly broke free from the restraints of the cross.

Black and red lightning swirled around him, and the indestructible cross crumbled like rotten wood.

"Even here, you can't call yourself a god."

He took a step forward.

Click!Click!

The black and white earth began to crack, and huge fissures appeared in the blood-red sky above, like a mirror about to shatter.

Naruto suddenly threw a punch, his will as tangible as a physical force, which slammed into the void of this world.

Rumble—!

With that punch, the blood-red sky completely collapsed.

The world of Tsukuyomi has shattered.

In reality, only a moment has passed.

"Hmm!"

Just as Itachi was preparing to launch a follow-up attack, his body suddenly stiffened.

He suddenly covered his eyes, staggered back two steps, and almost fell to his knees.

A shocking line of blood flowed down between his fingers and dripped onto the dry ground.

The excruciating pain of his mental world being devoured by violence made Itachi's breathing become disordered.

"Mr. Itachi!"

Kisame, who was being blasted away by Tsunade's punch, was shocked and immediately retreated back to Itachi's side.

He had never seen Itachi suffer such a great loss in a duel with someone else.

Kisame looked at Naruto in disbelief.

"call----"

Naruto slowly opened his eyes.

Although he looked slightly tired and had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, his demeanor became even more sharp.

"It's truly impossible to guard against!"

Naruto pushed up his glasses.

At this moment, Itachi's chakra was frantically gathering, and his immense eye power was about to erupt.

It looks like he's really going all out.

"I'm not playing with you guys anymore."

Naruto did not intend to continue fighting them to the death.

Now that he has achieved his goal, there is no point in continuing the fight.

Tsunade has been dragged into this mess, and Sasuke has been planted with the seed of evolution.

Continuing to fight would only waste time and energy, yielding no benefit whatsoever.

"Orochimaru, Kabuto, prepare to retreat!"

Naruto gave a cold shout.

"yes!"

Orochimaru and Kabuto, who had been waiting nearby, immediately approached.

"Trying to leave!?"

Kisame grinned maliciously and swung Samehada in an attempt to stop him.

"Get out of here!"

Naruto didn't bother arguing with him, and a golden chain shot out from behind him in an instant.

The chain was wrapped with suffocating black and red lightning—a manifestation of Conqueror's Haki.

Kisame instinctively raised Samehada, wanting to absorb chakra.

clang-!

A deafening clang of metal clashing.

"What!?"

Kisame felt an overwhelming force coming from him.

Instead of absorbing any chakra, Samehada trembled with fear like a frightened little animal.

That was an overwhelming aura targeting the spirit and will, an energy that Samehada could not comprehend or absorb.

Kisame was violently whipped away by the chains, his hands split open and he almost lost his grip on the greatsword.

"What kind of power is that?"

Kisame was terrified.

Taking advantage of the moment when Kisame's vision was impaired after being defeated.

"Let's go, Tsunade."

A chain wrapped around Tsunade, who was still hesitating and had a complicated expression on her face.

Under the cover of the smoke and dust, Naruto, along with Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kabuto, used the Body Flicker Technique to disappear from the spot.

The entire wasteland was left in a state of utter devastation.

Uchiha Itachi, clutching his bleeding left eye, knelt on the ground, his face grim as he stared in the direction Naruto had disappeared.

Kisame walked over carrying his large sword, glancing at Sasuke, who was still foaming at the mouth and trembling on the ground.

"That kid—he runs really fast."

"However, if the fight really goes on, the outcome is hard to predict."

Kisame scratched his head, looked at his still trembling hands, and sighed helplessly: "Itachi-san, it seems that this mission has completely failed."

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki—they're really tough to deal with."

Itachi did not speak.

He simply walked silently to Sasuke's side, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes as he looked at his brother's pained expression.

He reached out to touch Sasuke, but stopped in mid-air.

Because he discovered that Sasuke's condition had suddenly changed.

His previously shattered body began to heal rapidly, even unleashing a kind of fluctuation he had never seen before.

What exactly did that boy inject into Sasuke?

"—Let's go."

"

The weasel's voice was hoarse.

Since Sasuke has pulled through, then there shouldn't be any major problems.

He didn't believe that the cunning Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would inject Sasuke with something that would surely kill him.

Keeping Sasuke alive would be more valuable to him.

"Sasuke—come find me again when you have those eyes."

Itachi gave Sasuke a deep look, then left with Kisame.

Another ten minutes passed.

Two figures landed swiftly on the ravaged battlefield.

"Tsunade! Sasuke!"

Jiraiya looked at the ravaged land with an extremely grim expression.

"Lord Jiraiya, Sasuke is still breathing!"

Shizune cried out in surprise and rushed toward Sasuke, who was lying on the ground.

Sasuke's condition had improved considerably by this time.

His whole body was burning hot, and his skin was an eerie red, as if he were undergoing some kind of transformation.

"Tsunade—she's gone."

Jiraiya stood still, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

He was too late again.

Looking at the remaining traces of the battle on the ground, a hint of seriousness flashed in Jiraiya's eyes: "Naruto Uzumaki—"

"What exactly do you want?"
