"Oh, wait a minute."
"You're about to be turned to ash by me, so there's no need to worry about where you'll be buried..."
"Hmph, what a joke. Just a mere alternate personality!"
Faced with Menma's threat, Danzo feigned disdain and snorted, but his heart raced. He was terrified by the chilling killing intent in those words. It felt as if impending doom was upon him, his life about to end!
"You'd better think about how to regain control of this body!"
Danzo concentrated his chakra in his right eye again, frantically activating Kotoamatsukami.
In Menma's mind, Naruto Uzumaki immediately shouted anxiously, trying to regain control of the body!
However, neither Danzo nor Naruto knew the truth: it wasn't a passive surrender, but an active seizure of control. The body actively protected the personality that had taken over for about fifteen seconds. In other words, if Naruto wanted to regain control, he had to wait at least fifteen seconds!
This was why Menma's body had just been taken over, yet he reappeared after more than ten seconds.
"Heh, then let me see if your fate is as stubborn as your mouth!"
As he spoke, the plants that had grown rapidly at Menma's feet due to Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees withered and died instantly.
At the same time, a natural energy, like a spring breeze, entered Menma's body, and he slammed his palms together in front of him.
Clap!
"Sage Art: Law of Heaven and Earth!"
As he finished speaking, mysterious and eerie black patterns emerged from Menma's eyebrows and quickly spread to the area around his entire eyes.
At the same time, the golden-red Nine-Tails Chakra Avatar enveloping Menma now saw the eerie black patterns rapidly appear on its body, covering every inch.
The Nine-Tails Chakra Avatar, crouching like a beast, suddenly raised its front legs and stood upright on its hind legs like a human.
The fox head tilted back 270 degrees, revealing a human head with only two eyes and a dark crown.
Its sharp claws softened and bent, transforming into a black-patterned robe fluttering in the wind.
Human-like, distinct knuckles extended from beneath the robe's sleeves.
One hand reached forward, forming a sword-like gesture at its chest, while the other reached back, grasping the hilt of a fox-head sword formed by nine intertwined tails.
"Why is it the same as the terrifying giant summoned by the Mangekyou Sharingan!?"
"This is impossible!!!"
Looking at the enormous, golden-red figure with flowing robes and an ethereal, otherworldly air, disbelief filled Danzo's face!
It was clearly a jinchūriki's Tailed Beast Transformation, so why did it suddenly develop black patterns and become humanoid?
Most importantly, its already terrifying aura had intensified!
His heart pounded in his chest, and he wanted nothing more than to turn and run away.
"Naruto!"
"Come out, you piece of trash! Come out right now!!!"
Under this terrifying stimulation, Danzo dropped the pretense entirely.
He shouted, frantically channeling all his chakra into Kotoamatsukami!
"Attack! All of you, attack together! Stop him!"
Faced with this colossal, god-like figure, the Root members who heard Danzo's shouts didn't move. Terror filled their faces beneath their masks, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and weapons fell from their hands.
If their previous battle with the gigantic Nine-Tails could still be considered a fight, this giant with black patterns felt like charging into a suicide mission.
Menma, standing on the giant humanoid head between its brows, nodded with satisfaction.
Everything he had envisioned for so long had succeeded; there were no problems.
While the original Tailed Beast Transformation and Tailed Beast Ball were powerful—the ultimate techniques of a jinchūriki—they were ultimately ninjutsu and fighting styles suited to animalistic instincts.
Therefore, Menma had long harbored the idea of modifying it into a humanoid form like Susanoo, fighting in his most proficient human form.
Furthermore, having used the Tailed Beast Ball multiple times, he discovered its condensation time was very long, unsuitable for fast-paced, real-time combat.
Therefore, while transforming into human form through Tailed Beast Transformation, he also used his nine tails to intertwine and form a longsword.
Moreover, he had already prepared a model of the Tailed Beast Bomb's formula inside this longsword.
In battle, all he needed to do was input energy into it, and the Tailed Beast Bomb would transform into a sword beam and be unleashed instantly!
"Kurama, this is why you Tailed Beasts are always captured by humans."
Menma murmured softly, ignoring Kurama's rebuttal.
His gaze turned chillingly to Danzo, who was jumping up and down, and the Root ninjas, who were stunned.
"Weak scum, it's time to go."
Swish swish swish!!!
The giant hand gripping the hilt, with a slight exertion, slowly drew the longsword.
As the blade sliced through the scabbard intertwined with nine tails, countless golden and red sparks flashed.
Then, the blade blazed with a dazzling red light that eclipsed the heavens and earth.
As the final tip of the sword left the scabbard, the giant right hand unleashed a rapid slash from the upper right to the lower left.
Whoosh!
A massive sonic boom, deafening the heavens and earth, resounded like thunder.
A golden-red sword beam, illuminating the darkness of the sky, descended with ferocious destructive force and drew a magnificent rainbow across the sky as it hurtled towards the row of Root ninjas and Danzo.
The ground it swept through shattered and collapsed, dust and debris billowing up, obscuring the sky.
Boom!
The moment the golden-red sword beam touched the ground, it burst into a miniature sun.
The Root ninjas and Danzo, directly enveloped by it, were instantly reduced to nothingness within the golden-red light.
The Root Base behind them, the Shimura Clan shrine, and most of the Shimura Clan's territory were completely annihilated, without even a ripple.
The energy explosion, spreading outwards like a natural disaster, along with the shockwaves and wind pressure, drew all eyes in Konoha.
Including Jiraiya, Hashirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju, who had just arrived.
"Damn it! With this power, is Menma planning to destroy the village along with it?!"
A shocked and furious Tobirama Senju immediately turned to Hashirama Senju and shouted, "Big Brother!"
"I understand. Tell Jiraiya to get away!"
Hashirama Senju, his brows furrowed deeply, immediately blocked the path of the outward-spreading energy explosion.
He clapped his hands in front of his chest, unleashing a terrifying burst of chakra.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"
