Chapter 107 : Planetary Devastation

The air was filled with a subtle hum, the unmistakable sound of Yin-Yang Chakra rapidly gathering and compressing!

The purple Tailed Beast Bomb expanded swiftly, visible even to the naked eye.

Tsunade, who had been observing the battle, was visibly alarmed. The impending explosion of this Tailed Beast Bomb would annihilate everyone, leaving no trace in the ruins of Konoha.

At this moment, the inherent weaknesses of the Nine Tails Jinchuriki were laid bare.

Without the guidance of the First Hokage, Second Hokage, and Fourth Hokage, a rampaging Jinchūriki spelled doom.

"It's over!" echoed in the minds of the surviving ninjas. A completely uncontrollable time bomb threatened their existence.

"A time bomb that is completely uncontrollable; it's not surprising that this kind of situation occurs," sneered Uchiha Madara. He wondered how Hashirama in the Pure Land would perceive the state of Konoha now.

In the Pure Land, Hashirama looked puzzled, unable to comprehend why Konoha, as the first ninja village, had fallen to such a state.

"Universal Pull!" declared Deva Path Pain as he emerged from the ground, folding his hands together.

Suddenly, at the fifth second, a massive rock soared into the sky, colliding with the charging Naruto like a meteorite.

The water's surface contracted instantly, only to violently surge the next moment.

An intense explosion ensued, and the sun rose from the colossal crater in Konoha Village. The ground sank again, and a thick mushroom cloud ascended into the sky.

In this dire moment, Deva Path Pain's self-rescue saved Tsunade and the others. Otherwise, the complete Tailed Beast Bomb would have obliterated them, leaving nothing but ashes.

With the crisis averted, Pain departed the village without engaging in further combat. Meanwhile, Naruto, donned in the tail beast coat, roared and pursued him.

"Is it impossible to defeat him? Are we resorting to retreat?" Tsunade speculated.

Jiraiya shook his head, "Not quite. If only Six Tails managed to force him back, then his so-called plan is a farce. He is well aware of the power of the Nine Tails."

In the Uzumaki Ruins, Minato gazed toward Uchiha Madara.

Madara understood the implication and clarified, "The closer the puppet is to the body, the better the signal, and the stronger the power derived from the body. Currently, his condition cannot handle the Nine Tails, so he must bring the puppet closer to the main body."

Madara sneered, "I always knew Nagato was a disappointment. It's a shame that someone from the Uzumaki clan is using the Rinnegan like this."

On the side, Kushina was stunned to learn that Nagato belonged to her own clan. Despite this revelation, she wouldn't let him off easily.

"The dense forests and jagged cliffs serve as a barrier, keeping Deva Path Pain away from his pursuers!"

In the next moment, he found refuge in a tree hollow, clasped his hands together, and a unique energy fluctuation manifested in his palms. After a few seconds, Deva Path released his palms, and a pitch-black sphere ascended into the sky.

Just as this happened, a fiery and explosive chakra missile appeared, detonating beside the tree hollow. Deva Path emerged from the smoke, embarrassed. In the next moment, with folded hands and a hideous expression, he shouted, "Planetary Devastation!"

The black sphere rising into the sky resembled another sun shining upon the earth. However, instead of light, it brought destruction.

The earth trembled, whimpered, and seemed to unleash its anger, giving birth to dense cracks, revealing dark gaps. The ground shook, mountains trembled, as if the entire world were turning upside down.

Countless rocks, dirt, and towering trees floated upward, converging towards the black sphere in the sky. The raging Naruto struggled against the immense gravity but couldn't break free. It roared, expressed anger and unwillingness, but ultimately, it was sealed.

A few minutes later, a colossal sphere hovered high in the sky.

In the world of Hokage, countless people turned pale.

Once again, the power of the Rinnegan unfolded before their eyes.

They couldn't help but feel that the legendary moon was created by the Sage of Six Paths, the possessor of the Rinnegan. And that notion was likely true.

In the Uzumaki Ruins, Uchiha Madara gazed at the Sage of Six Paths and asked, "Who is sealed in the moon?"

It was only at this moment that he was reminded that the Sage of Six Paths didn't simply create a moon without reason; it was something or someone sealed within.

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo sighed, "It's my mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who would have been resurrected in you."

Madara furrowed his brow, contemplating a multitude of thoughts in an instant.

Ever since Kaguya manifested through the process of resurrection, taking possession of his body, Madara contemplated a peculiar notion — could it be said that Kaguya on the moon now exists as a lifeless husk?

He mulled over the idea of journeying to the moon after concluding the video. If there were any remnants to be found, perhaps there existed a chance to reincarnate the other party through the Impure World Reincarnation. This would enable a deeper understanding of the Ōtsutsuki clan, fortifying their defenses.

Madara acknowledged that the reincarnation wouldn't be a complete one, akin to Orochimaru's self-revival. Chuckling at the irony that the world feared him while remaining oblivious to his role as their savior, Madara remained indifferent to others' opinions, unswayed by the need for approval.

Sighing, Madara continued his contemplation.

[The perspective shifts to Naruto's face!]

Naruto found himself in a dark, confined space with water below, not in a state of death but resembling lifelessness. His once vibrant blue eyes, perpetually optimistic, had turned black, and his expression, numb.

At this moment, Naruto appeared as if facing the cold gazes of Hinata, Kakashi, Jiraiya, and countless villagers who questioned his inability to save them.

A voice echoed lifelessly, filled with pain and despair, "Who will save me? What should I do?"

In the darkness, an eye filled with hatred and bloodshot eyes materialized, commanding, "Destroy everything! Eradicate all that causes your misery! Offer me your heart, and I shall liberate you from your agony!"

Responding to the call for rescue, Naruto's body rose, his clothes unfolding to reveal the Eight Trigram Seal on his abdomen.

Drooping weakly, as if relinquishing his body entirely, the Eight Trigram Seal twisted, forming a pitch-black circle. A liquid, akin to ink, flowed out and permeated the stagnant water.

[In another scene, Pain gazed at the massive sphere in the sky, exhaling in relief.]

"Nine Tails has been successfully captured. The next phase is—"

[BOOM!]

A crimson tail, resembling magma, pierced the enormous sphere, unveiling an incredibly fearsome Nine Tails with only muscles and bones, unleashing a thunderous roar!
