Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 474: Aoto’s Requiem

Too cunning!

Their combined tactics were far too crafty!

It was truly difficult to anticipate.

There were almost no ninja in the entire ninja world who could withstand a combined attack from Hashirama and Tobirama Edo Tensei, along with Minato.

Even Obito, wielding Six Paths power in the future, had suffered massive losses at their hands, only surviving thanks to his terrifying regenerative abilities as the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails.

What more could be expected from Ōtsutsuki Aoto, who lacked combat experience and vigilance?

Aoto's cunning was mostly superficial deception; when it came to an actual life-or-death battle, how could he possibly match a group of ninjas whose hearts and souls were steeped in treachery!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

The Bijudama explosion lasted for several seconds, while the subsequent explosions from the *Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags* continued for tens of seconds.

If Tobirama Edo Tensei hadn't teleported the target over a thousand meters away beforehand, the entire main floating island where everyone else was located might have been utterly obliterated by this endless chain of explosions!

No need to speculate about the fate of the other moon Ōtsutsuki—clearly, Ōnoki and the others likely wouldn't have had time to evade, most likely being reduced to dust...

And during this time, Hashirama Edo Tensei once again unleashed a large-scale Wood Release technique, swiftly dominating the entire main floating island with a sea of trees.

Hundreds of elite members and leaders of the moon Ōtsutsuki who were still resisting and fighting were easily defeated and captured alive by the Wood Release technique.

As long as there was no threat from the giant Tenseigan, and as long as they had breached the heart of the enemy's defenses, Hashirama Edo Tensei alone could sweep away all the moon Ōtsutsuki—this was no joke...

Of course, everyone knew that the threat from the other moon Ōtsutsuki wasn't particularly significant.

The key was whether they could finish off Ōtsutsuki Aoto!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Did it work?!?"

Ōnoki asked anxiously and nervously—it was the first time he'd seen anyone withstand his Dust Release!

He desperately wanted to kill Aoto, the great enemy of the ninja world!

"No one could survive an explosion like this unless they weren't human! And my technique was originally designed to counter Uchiha Madara's Susano'o..."

Tobirama's clone stated confidently.

The explosive power of the *Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags*, amplified by the unlimited chakra of the Edo Tensei body, even surpassed a Bijudama!

Nothing could withstand such a continuous chain of explosions!

Not even Madara's Perfect Susano'o... Hmm... it shouldn't be able to, right?

This Tobirama Edo Tensei from Parallel World 4 had never used this technique against Madara, so he couldn't be completely sure.

But when it came to facing Aoto, he was extremely confident!

"Tobirama!"

Hashirama Edo Tensei snapped, scolding him for repeatedly making speculative statements.

"I understand..."

Tobirama's clone shrunk back, obediently nodding, no longer mentioning the Uchiha.

And everyone began observing carefully, focusing their attention on the core area of the explosion...

If Aoto hadn't died, everyone would immediately launch another attack without hesitation!

Including the time it took for the explosions to subside.

More than a minute later, the *Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags* finally ceased entirely.

"Aoto Ōtsutsuki's chakra aura has disappeared!"

Minato relied on his extraordinarily sharp senses, quickly providing an answer.

"Really? Is he dead?"

"It's uncertain—the smoke is too thick; we can't see clearly..."

"Let me handle it!"

Hashirama used his Wood Release technique to create a giant wooden humanoid, clapped its hands, generating winds equivalent to a Wind Release technique, blasting forward.

It quickly cleared much of the smoke in the distance.

As it turned out, Ōtsutsuki Aoto's body had completely vanished.

Only Tobirama Edo Tensei's body, shattered by the explosion, was slowly repairing itself with dust.

"Tobirama, what's the situation?"

"Brother, it's done! That man has been blown to pieces!"

Tobirama Edo Tensei delivered the good news.

Being at the center of the explosion, he was absolutely certain—Aoto's entire body had been pulverized into dust, not even leaving behind a single bone fragment!

Even a Bijuu caught in an explosion like this would likely not survive.

What more could be said of an old, unprepared man...

There was absolutely no way he could still be alive!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Great, great, great!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"We finally won!"

"It doesn't feel this easy..."

"What are you boasting about? What does this have to do with you, old Tsuchikage?"

"I... I contributed too!"

After Aoto's death, the Allied Ninja Forces cheered in celebration, with Ōnoki and the others even grinning widely.

They hadn't expected to win so easily!

Undeniably, Konoha's "otherworldly" formation was simply extraordinary...

Forget about one Ōtsutsuki Aoto—ten of them together might not be able to defeat Minato and Hashirama Edo Tensei.

Of course, if there were truly ten enemies above Kage level surrounding them, Minato and the others might not lose, but the Allied Ninja Forces would certainly suffer heavy losses...

Old and young, living and dead, ganging up on an aged Ōtsutsuki Aoto—it couldn't exactly be called noble.

But no one cared about such things.

Facing a great enemy who sought to destroy the entire ninja world, if they foolishly advanced one by one to fight, that would truly make Lux furious.

Just as everyone was celebrating the victory, Minato sharply sensed something.

"Wait—"

"What is that?"

Minato pointed toward the edge of the distant explosion smoke—a head-sized purple light orb suddenly shot out!

And it was heading straight for the distant giant metal ball of the enormous Tenseigan!

Spiritual Orb Technique!

A secret technique mastered by the moon Ōtsutsuki clan, capable of extracting their memories and consciousness, forming a spiritual orb with certain subjective abilities. Like the late leader of the main moon Ōtsutsuki clan years ago, who also used the Spiritual Orb Technique to convey information and awareness to Hinata in the future.

This demonstrated their research and achievements in the realm of souls and spirits were also extraordinary!

At this moment, although Aoto's physical body had perished, part of his consciousness persisted thanks to the secret Spiritual Orb Technique.

And under the control of Aoto's remaining consciousness, the orb flew rapidly toward the giant Tenseigan!

Realizing this anomaly, though Minato didn't know exactly what the spiritual orb was, he was certain it had something to do with the now-deceased Aoto.

If this was the enemy's backup plan, then it absolutely must not be allowed to succeed!

Minato activated Kyuubi Mode, bent both legs, instantly shattering the surrounding rocks, and with a terrifying recoil force, shot forward like an arrow, chasing the purple light orb thousands of meters away at incredible speed!

How astonishing was Minato's speed in this mode? In an instant, he had already caught up to the orb.

But just as he was about to grab it, the orb suddenly swerved at a tricky angle, evading Minato's grasp...

Minato didn't have time to capture it alive and immediately unleashed a rain of Shadow Shuriken, instantly enveloping the orb.

However, this spiritual orb wasn't a physical object, passing straight through the rain of shuriken.

And upon sensing the threat, the orb accelerated even further, transforming into a streak of light, quickly merging into the distant giant Tenseigan!

Then, the giant Tenseigan reactivated, a ferocious wave of chakra emanating from it, terrifying energy beginning to gather!

Clearly, it was preparing another devastating beam attack.
