Faced with Uehara Naraku's challenge, Yakushi Kabuto certainly didn't dare to refuse.
Even though Yakushi Kabuto knew he was outmatched, he had to put up a fight, at least to show his superior his strength and value.
Yakushi Kabuto kept his gaze fixed tightly on Uehara Naraku's movements, slowly clasped his fingers, and the next moment, a strange glow appeared in his eyes, showing he had entered Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode, fully prepared.
Unfortunately, in Yakushi Kabuto's sight.
Uehara Naraku's hand once again seized the charging Namikaze Minato, and with a powerful punch, shattered the Fourth Hokage, who was in perfect Nine-tailed Jinchuriki mode, into countless pieces!
This scene made Yakushi Kabuto somewhat anxious.
Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but lick his lips, watching Uehara Naraku stride toward him, his voice tinged with a bit of despair.
"I hope I won't lose too badly..."
Just after saying this, Yakushi Kabuto saw Uehara Naraku's hand suddenly reach out again, capturing Senju Tobirama, who was attacking with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu!
Uehara Naraku caught Senju Tobirama by the throat, delivering a knee strike to Tobirama's chest, instantly breaking the Second Hokage's Reanimation Body!
"Heh heh..."
After witnessing this scene, Yakushi Kabuto's face showed a bitter smile: "Why does it feel a bit ominous? Have I not done something well enough..."
Uehara Naraku, this superior, must not be treated as a Reanimation Body; he's currently flesh and blood.
Unless using the Kamui Sharingan...
But Kamui Sharingan poses no threat to Uehara Naraku; he has many ways to counter Kamui. Moreover, with Uchiha Obito still around, Yakushi Kabuto couldn't easily reveal his ability to use Kamui in front of Konoha and the others.
Just at this moment, a space-time vortex appeared beside Yakushi Kabuto, revealing Uchiha Obito's figure, who brought a message from Uehara Naraku: "Kabuto, I'm looking forward to your Sage Mode. Don't let me down."
"..."
Yakushi Kabuto silently shook his head.
Expectations, that word is really frightening.
Even the White Snake Sage of Ryuchi Cave now admits he's not Naraku-sama's opponent; what can his Sage Mode do?
It's truly incomprehensible!
If Yakushi Kabuto remembers correctly, Uehara Naraku himself is quite proficient in Sage Mode, which has been personally praised by the White Snake Sage as a new Sage Mode. Could defeating Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode be just to prove his strength?
Of course not.
Well, partially yes.
Uehara Naraku mainly aims to advance Sage Mode after obtaining Orochimaru's Curse Seal, which opened the first phase of the Sage Mode Ascension to Divinity;
During the Chunin Examination, Uehara Naraku broke through Jiraiya's Mount Myoboku Sage Mode, acquiring the second phase of Sage Mode;
Later, Uehara Naraku received an advancement reward in the task of defeating the Five Kage, unlocking the third phase of Sage Mode.
However, Sage Mode has four phases in total.
According to the situation, defeating Yakushi Kabuto's Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode should grant him access to the ultimate phase of Sage Mode!
Based on Uehara Naraku's assessment of Sage Mode, activating Sage Mode will fully enhance his physical attributes and grant him a new ability... This ability could very well be another trump card for defeating Six Paths-level enemies in the future!
Though, it seems there are quite a few trump cards...
But aside from Senju Hashirama, who would complain about having too many cards?
"This is truly the most troublesome battle..."
Yakushi Kabuto watched as Uehara Naraku gradually approached, raising his fingers to his chest, preparing to control the ninjas he had under his command again!
In an instant, those controlled by him, such as Might Guy, Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu, Second Tsuchikage Mu, and Fourth Kazekage Rasa, swiftly withdrew!
These Reanimation Ninjas stood one by one in front of Yakushi Kabuto.
A glimmer flashed through Yakushi Kabuto's glasses, his mouth slowly forming into a smile, his voice barely audible: "Since appearing before these people in the posture of a savior, let me help you... Become the true savior!"
As a qualified subordinate, how could he fall short!
Besides, Yakushi Kabuto himself is also curious how strong Uehara Naraku can still become!
"Everyone..."
Yakushi Kabuto's face showed a serious expression, watching Uehara Naraku approach, he whispered: "Do your best to stop him! I hope your power lets me see the peak of this Ninja World!"
"Then let me go first!"
With Reanimation, the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu raised his finger, channeling the Chakra within, launching the first attack toward the slowly approaching Uehara Naraku!
Yakushi Kabuto nodded in secret.
It seemed that among those he controlled, only the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu hadn't yet fallen to Uehara Naraku's hands, likely able to hold out until the Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage's Reanimation Bodies recovered?
"Water Release: Water Iron Cannon Jutsu!"
Hozuki Gengetsu's finger mimicked a gun, and water jets shot swiftly from his fingertips like bullets aimed at Uehara Naraku's head!
Hozuki Gengetsu's small mustache twitched, revealing a sinister smile: "Hmph, one shot is enough to pierce the enemy's head..."
Splash!
A wave suddenly swept up from the ground, engulfing the Water Iron Cannon Jutsu. This wave emerged too fast!
Even Hozuki Gengetsu was taken aback, his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow: "Even at this distance, the Water Iron Cannon Jutsu was blocked..."
"Really..."
Uehara Naraku held his forehead with one hand and raised his finger towards Hozuki Gengetsu in the same pose: "There are always people who refuse to give up. When will you understand that using Water Release Ninjutsu in front of me is ineffective..."
The next moment, the waves suddenly began to split into droplets of water. Uehara Naraku's palm flipped again, and tiny electric lights appeared within the water droplets, then vanished into thin air!
Uehara Naraku mimicked a shooting gesture, countless water droplets, like bullets, shot towards the Second Mizukage's position at high speed with the support of Lighting Release Chakra!
Uehara Naraku watched the numerous water droplets shoot towards the Second Mizukage, nonchalantly waving his palm: "Little drops of water repay as oceans... No need to be too courteous!"
"Damn it, is that how you use the phrase?"
Hozuki Gengetsu practically wanted to pull off his small mustache.
He had merely shot out a Water Bullet at Uehara Naraku, and Uehara Naraku returned with thousands of Water Iron Cannon Jutsu, this guy's Water Release Ninjutsu was indeed terrifyingly strong!
"Hmph..."
The Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu's body instantly transformed into liquid, a Water Transformation Jutsu of the Hozuki Family, able to resist all physical attacks!
As Hozuki Gengetsu allowed the water bullets to enter his body, he suddenly felt something was off!
"Wait... Your Water Iron Cannon Jutsu..."
Before Hozuki Gengetsu could finish his sentence, countless tiny thunderbolts appeared on his body, making it impossible for him to maintain his water state!
A paralyzing electric shock sensation spread throughout his body!
"Oh, forgot to tell you."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Hozuki Gengetsu, shook his finger, and said: "I added a bit of Lightning Chakra inside. This shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"
"...Hmph!"
Hozuki Gengetsu's mustache twitched as he watched Uehara Naraku's silhouette, flashing a confident smile: "Of course... not! Water Release: Oil Transformation!"
The next moment, Hozuki Gengetsu's entire body transformed into oil!
This Second Mizukage found a way to avoid the Lightning Release Ninjutsu's restraint on the Water Transformation Jutsu, becoming oil made him even more agile!
"Water Release: Steamed Danger Explosion!"
A chubby clone appeared on the battlefield!
This chubby clone was created by the Second Mizukage using water and oil, the outside was oil, inside was water, it could be used for battle or heat up and turn the water into steam for an explosion!
Once the steam explodes, it will become a complete disaster!
For instance, the Second Tsuchikage Mu was injured due to the Steamed Danger Explosion, causing his body to be covered in bandages.
"Water Prison Jutsu!"
The clone had just appeared when it was immediately trapped by Uehara Naraku using the Water Prison Jutsu!
The next moment, Uehara Naraku suddenly clenched his fist, the water inside the prison was controlled to shrink tightly, squeezing and exploding Hozuki Gengetsu's oil-water clone!
"Water Release: Water Ball Jutsu!"
Hozuki Gengetsu snapped his fingers, at this moment he seemed more relaxed than Uehara Naraku, as if he was the one controlling the battlefield!
It has to be said, the ninjas of the Hozuki Family, except for Hozuki Mangetsu, all seemed quite arrogant... perhaps Hozuki Mangetsu had this issue too, just never displayed it in front of Uehara Naraku.
Following Hozuki Gengetsu's snap, bubbles appeared around him. These bubbles floated in the air, slowly drifting towards Uehara Naraku!
These bubbles could explode at any moment!
"How many times must I say..."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Hozuki Gengetsu, mimicked his move, and snapped his fingers: "No one in the Ninja World is better at Water Release Ninjutsu than me! Whether you're the Second Hokage or the Second Mizukage, there's no difference in front of me..."
Numerous bubbles descended from the sky, instantly engulfing Hozuki Gengetsu. A series of endless explosions echoed on the battlefield!
Hozuki Gengetsu's body was directly blown into pieces!
Even the recently restored Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato were affected!
"Who else?"
Uehara Naraku's gaze turned to Yakushi Kabuto, also looking at the few Reanimation ninja in front of Yakushi Kabuto: Might Guy, Second Tsuchikage Mu, and Fourth Kazekage Rasa...
Hmm, all of them were defeated by him before.
"Come at me together!"
Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses up.
The next moment, Might Guy, Second Tsuchikage Mu, and Fourth Kazekage Rasa each spread out, launching attacks from different directions towards Uehara Naraku!
Fourth Kazekage Rasa manipulated his sand gold from the ground to rise towards Uehara Naraku, the endless sand gold descended like a mountain!
Might Guy from the flank swung his Fist, unleashing a Super Air Bomb, forming a white tiger appearance, his strongest jutsu now, Hirudora!
Second Tsuchikage Mu appeared directly above Uehara Naraku, combined his hands to gather a white light aimed at Uehara Naraku, fully unleashing Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!
These attacks together were enough to form an absolute kill!
No matter who it is, facing this level of encirclement, they would definitely not underestimate it!
Uehara Naraku watched the overwhelming attacks, gazed at the serious-looking Yakushi Kabuto, and slowly curled the corner of his mouth: "Kabuto, if that's all there is, it won't be able to stop me..."
