Chapter 419: Chapter 419: The Will of ( ) Can Shatter Stone
Rotation—when Neji used it, the diameter was just a few meters, but it completely blocked attacks from every direction with no blind spots.
When Hiashi used it, the diameter lasted for more than ten meters, with incredible defense power, and in an instant wiped out over ten charging shinobi.
So this technique is a classic example—the more skilled you are and the more chakra you pour in, the bigger and stronger it gets. It’s an all-around defensive ninjutsu, and once mastered, it can even be used offensively.
All of that is to say one thing... Kaguya’s Rotation is
As Kaguya’s body spun at high speed, the Byakugan in her eyes burst out with overwhelming power. Every chakra point on her body erupted, forming a blue chakra barrier.
The barrier wrapped around her as she spun, and in the sky, a massive blue chakra sphere appeared. The dense chakra and the dozens-of-meters-wide defense ring completely stopped every attack.
Raikage’s charging body came to an abrupt halt, his face changing in shock. Before he could react, his whole body was blasted back like a truck hit him.
The two massive water-style jutsu collapsed, turning into rain as water splashed across the ground.
The glow of Dust Release clashed with the blue defense of Rotation, but even that powerful Dust Release couldn’t break through. After a burst of light, it scattered away
Honestly, it’s not like he’d never faced Hyuga techniques before, but this was the first time he’d seen Rotation block Dust Release.
Gaara’s expression tightened. He reached out and controlled sand to catch Raikage. "Looks like we can’t judge Kaguya’s techniques by normal standards."
"True." Onoki landed next to Gaara and nodded seriously.
Sakura stood behind them, maintaining her hand signs, the pink glow of Sage Mode flickering in her eyes. "I can feel an enormous amount of natural energy in Kaguya. She doesn’t seem to be using it on purpose, but all of her techniques are powered by it."
That feeling of being completely suppressed was honestly not a good one.
"The same Sage Arts from the three great holy lands as you?" Terumi Mei touched her lips, her tone unconsciously turning serious.
"Not quite." Sakura shook her head lightly. "Sage Art uses chakra made from natural energy and one’s own
It’s not the same as Ninjutsu. But what she’s using isn’t Sage chakra. It’s more like mixing natural energy into Ninjutsu."
It’s like porridge and rice soup. Both are rice with water, but one is cooked with a lot of water to make porridge, while the other is cooked rice with water added afterward. They look similar, but they’re completely
Sakura’s way is "porridge," different from the start, while Kaguya’s is "rice soup," adding natural energy after the Ninjutsu is already formed.
"So... what’s the difference?" Terumi Mei asked with a puzzled face.
"The difference is... I can’t do it." Sakura sighed. "Because the natural energy in Sage chakra is fixed. If I want to strengthen a jutsu, I need to strengthen the Sage chakra itself. But Kaguya can just keep adding natural energy, making even a weak jutsu grow huge."
"I can’t do that."
That’s the difference between Sage chakra and natural energy. Sakura can make Sage chakra, but she can’t
"In this world, the only ones who can directly use natural energy are the sages of the three great holy lands..." Sakura said helplessly.
The Great Toad Sage, the White Snake Sage, and the Slug Sage.
The slug on Sakura’s shoulder twitched its feelers. "Sakura is right."
"In that case... the strength of her jutsu has no limit." Oonoki frowned.
"Because she can add natural energy endlessly." Gaara
Looking at it that way, this person really is impossibly strong.
Terumi Mei swallowed hard. "Natural energy comes from our entire world. If you think about it like that... aren’t we basically fighting against the whole world?"
Everyone froze for a moment.
The Raikage landed beside them, standing on Gaara’s sand, his face grim as he looked up at Kaguya. "Even if it means going against the whole world, we have to stop her."
Even if the enemy is the entire world, they couldn’t back down.
Kaguya stopped spinning. As the Heavenly Rotation faded, her figure came to a halt. Her Byakugan looked down at the five below. "What’s wrong? Giving up? There’s still time. I can play with you a bit longer."
The Raikage clenched his fist at once. "This woman is way too arrogant."
"But she has the strength to be." Terumi Mei sighed, then turned to Oonoki. "Lord Tsuchikage, do you have any ideas?"
Among them, Oonoki was the oldest, and when it came to battle, his experience far outstripped anyone else present. Terumi Mei couldn’t think of any way to deal with Kaguya, but Oonoki had seen more than anyone and might have a strategy.
Everyone instinctively looked to Oonoki.
Oonoki was silent for a while before finally speaking. "Before absolute power, every tactic and plan is nothing but a joke."
Just like when he once stood beside Lord Mu against Uchiha Madara—that crushing feeling of helplessness. No matter what thoughts he had at the time, in the face of that powerlessness, everything felt like a joke.
Yeah, just like Kaguya said.
She still had time, so she could play along with them a bit more... In her eyes, their struggles were nothing more than a game.
Everyone frowned without thinking.
Above them, Kaguya looked down at the five and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes: "Is this really all the shadows of this era can do?"
The four clenched their fists, and Oonoki took a deep
"Oh?" Kaguya raised her head, her face full of pride.
"It’s true, against absolute power, all tactics and strategies are just a joke. In front of you, our attacks are like a child’s punches, good for nothing but making you laugh." Oonoki drew in another breath, his clenched fists tightening even more. "But even the smallest stone is still a stone."
"Even against the hardest steel, even knowing it will be crushed, even if it’s ignored by others..."
"It won’t break."
Oonoki’s body was old, and time had carved unshakable marks on his face. But right now, that wrinkled face showed a resolve stronger than ever: "Kaguya, you’re strong, harder than steel, tougher than diamond—but so what? A stone’s will won’t change just because of your
That bent and aging body stood tall, Oonoki’s gaze locked firmly on Kaguya.
Her lips curved slightly, as if she suddenly found him interesting: "Oh? Just you? An old man at the end of his life? Or the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure Village?"
Oonoki took a deep breath: "No matter when, a person can always take back their will. Even if setbacks make you lose heart, even if you throw your will away—if you can face yourself again, then you can pick it back up. Because will has many sides. Shaped and polished again and again, in the end it becomes the strongest stone in the world."
"This is... the Will of Stone."
