Naruto and Sasuke are doing nothing; Madara and I will set an example.

"Thump!" Just as he jumped up, his figure suddenly froze in mid-air, as if someone had caught him from behind.

"This, this is..." Sasuke glanced behind him with his left eye and finally saw clearly what was supporting him!

Cold sweat poured down my face.

"Wheel, wheel tomb."

Madara removed the disguise from his burlesque and revealed himself to Sasuke.

A cold hand touched the face before me, where the faint shadow of Izuna still lingered.

He spoke with a tone that was both angry at his lack of progress and gentle: "Sasuke, you haven't improved at all..."

The Time-Stop Law was lifted! In an instant, the blood-red light vanished, as if it had never existed!

Naruto and Kurama both trembled: "What's going on!?"

In their senses, it was as if the dust was about to be struck in the head any second.

But in the blink of an eye, he was held in mid-air by Dust with one hand, and even his heavy particle mode disappeared!

"What are you doing to the Seventh Hokage!" Kawaki roared as he leaped up, his body clad in Kurama's golden robes, and punched Chen.

That Kurama robe was passed down to him by Naruto before the battle, and Naruto had been protecting Kawaki until the solo match just now, so he didn't even have a chance to use up the robe.

Without even glancing at him, Chen violently ripped off Kawaki's golden outer garment with his right hand. Then, with a Shinra Tensei, he sent Kawaki flying.

Before becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it's not advisable to completely turn against Isshiki. However, just now... Chen used Danmaku Chanti to slightly tamper with Kawaki's Karma.

Naruto: "Damn it!"

Dust: "Don't even think about using the heavy particle mode anymore. As long as I hold you with this left hand, you won't be able to establish heavy particle causality."

Chen looked at the gold surging in his right hand, "But having this is indeed much more convenient."

Naruto's Nine-Tails Mode is somewhat different from the Eight-Tails Mode; some procedures need to be completed before it can be successfully extracted.

The right hand, covered in golden chakra dust, pierced straight into Naruto's stomach!

"Gurgle gurgle!" Like a starter for dough rising, it directly and passively activated the depleted Nine-Tails chakra within Naruto's body, causing the golden fox head to reappear!

"Crackling..." The Gedo Mazo behind Chen opened its mouth wide, and the Demonic Statue Lock condensed and surged in its throat. As long as the Demonic Statue Lock was successfully used to connect to it, Naruto's Kurama would be doomed!

"Crackling and popping!" Just then, purple lightning flashed, shooting through the wind!

"Naruto isn't completely defenseless. It seems to be related to Uchiha Chen holding his left hand. If we can force him to let go, there's still a chance to turn things around!"

Kakashi Hatake, with an extraordinary calmness surging in his eyes, launched a powerful attack!

Dust ignored this.

It's not that we can't prevent it, it's that there's no need to.

Because he knew that 'he' would make a move.

"Whoosh!" A black vortex suddenly descended in front of him!

"Hmm...!?" Kakashi's expression froze for a moment, then the purple lightning in his palm accelerated forward!

"Crack!" The vortex settled, and a desolate hand gripped Kakashi's wrist, which was holding the Purple Lightning.

"You, you are...!" Kakashi's eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

"Without the Sharingan, he unleashed an attack even stronger than the Lightning Blade. It seems that what I thought was a gift back then has become a shackle, just like when I was bound by the Will of Fire."

The person in front of Kakashi raised their face, and beneath the weathered gray hair were those...eyes that couldn't hide their tears.

"What do you think... Kakashi?"

Chapter 137 The loser eats the dust

"Obito!" His pupils contracted to their limit, then trembled like an earthquake, the purple lightning losing its stability and dissipating in his palm.

I never dreamed we'd meet again, let alone in this way.

The pungent smell of gunpowder forced Kakashi's malfunctioning brain to quickly reconnect with the current situation.

Sweating profusely soaked his face beneath the mask, revealing his no-longer-young features.

In Kakashi's mind, Obito's opening poem had already been written down.

I will die to atone for my sins; even if I am reduced to ashes in a hundred battles, I will hold on to hope!

He asked defiantly, "Why, Obito...didn't you already find your dream again? Didn't you reconcile with this ninja world? Why, why do you help someone like Uchiha Chen!?"

The instant he recognized the look in Obito's eyes, he ruled out the possibility that Obito was being manipulated by Chen.

Obito said, "Kakashi, if I told you that I did all this to protect my past dream and to protect this ninja world, would you believe me?"

Kakashi was speechless.

Once, as a close friend, I should have been the one who believed in Obito, understood Obito, and redeemed Obito. However, I failed in my duty as a close friend and let Naruto, as his disciple, do all of this in my place.

This time, should I learn from past mistakes? Should I stop assuming that Obito will fall into evil again?

"Whoosh!" The golem lock that burst out from the throat of the demon golem connected to Kurama's golden fox head, and Kurama's entire body began to be uncontrollably peeled away!

Kakashi was jolted: No matter what, I can't just stand by and watch Naruto get...

In a split second, he articulated his incisive words: "Obito! Whatever you want to do! Naruto, the hero of the former Fourth Shinobi World War, who helped you rediscover your original aspirations!, should he be treated like this!?"

Obito said, "Kakashi, Chen is the most measured and principled person I've ever met. As his best friend, I hope you can understand him. This time, I won't be a riddle-maker anymore. Look me in the eye!"

—Genjutsu: Sharingan!

"Buzz!" Kakashi's body suddenly trembled. The powerful mental impact caused his eyes to lose focus instantly, and he fell forward.

Obito stepped forward, letting Kakashi lean on his shoulder, and turned to look at Chen with a pleading look in his eyes.

Chen nodded.

With a "whoosh," Kurama's body was pulled away by the Golem Lock without any suspense!

The artificial form of Kaguya on the golem's chest has not yet been properly placed, so it is not advisable for the Nine-Tails to be swallowed into the golem immediately.

Dust's right eye narrowed.

—The annihilation of the icchantikas.

"Crack!" The Golem Lock shattered, and the Nine-Tails, in its golden chakra form, remained on the ground.

After a while, the golden light faded, and the true form of the fox demon was revealed!

“You…” It raised its huge orange-red claws and slapped at the dust.

Chen glanced at him.

"Crack!" The Nine-Tails' eyes instantly transformed into six-tomoe Rinnegan, and its claws trembled as they froze in mid-air.

Just like Sasuke back then, he could trap the tailed beasts in genjutsu with just a glance.

However, what is connected to the illusion is not Chibaku Tensei, but the time-freezing power of the Omota-ryu!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" Blue and white ice crystals covered the nine-tailed fox's orange-red body. Ten seconds later, he disappeared into the frost and haze, filled with resentment and confusion.

Chen turned his gaze to Naruto, who was on the verge of death, in his hands.

"Give it back to me, give Kurama back to me..." Naruto said weakly.

"Cuckoo..."

—The annihilation of the icchantika, the stream of wrath!

"!?!" Naruto's body jolted violently.

“I returned the Nine-Tails back into your body, severing the cause and effect, which is equivalent to creating a complete Nine-Tails out of thin air.”

"However... I will divide the chakra within you into two parts again, and I will take the Yin part without hesitation."

"Sizzle!" Chen severed the cause and effect in the reverse direction of the Annihilation Technique, which is to say, strengthened the cause and effect, and established a connection between himself and the Yin Nine-Tails. Then—'Fengyu Qichui Zun', the Yin Nine-Tails' chakra was taken into Chen's eyes.

Including the one that was frozen, Chen essentially possesses one and a half Nine-Tails, leaving half for Naruto.

“Naruto, things have come to this point, and I really have no reason to tolerate you anymore. However, Obito considers you his benefactor and can't bear to see you sink into despair.”

"I'll consider this as repaying the favor I owed you back then on behalf of Obito."

"Stop being so deluded, open your eyes and look at this world!"

Chen used two fingers of his right hand to poke into Naruto's eye socket!

"Ughhhhhhh...!" Naruto's shrill screams echoed across the Konoha wasteland.

Dust pulled his bloodied fingers out of Naruto's eye socket.

"Bang!" The demonic statue of the heretic vanished into the white smoke.

"Naruto!" Sasuke roared angrily. "Zzz!" His Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his right eye suddenly turned into a desolate "white," and he disappeared before Madara's eyes.

Madara glanced at his retreating figure as he attacked Chen, "You actually used Izanagi to destroy your right eye and break free from Limbo... However, the power belonging to Hashirama within you was exhausted after activating the Rinnegan. Without Hashirama's power, Izanagi is just a 'momentary surge' (meaning it will instantly become ineffective)."

"That's why I couldn't use Izanagi to fight Hashirama back then; I could only use it as a trump card to revive after battle."

"Uchiha Chen! You've already gotten what you wanted! Why did you have to be so cruel to Naruto!"

A lone bolt of lightning crackled in Sasuke's palm as he raised it... and the scathing Kirin struck down from the very spot where he stood!

"Snap!" Dust unleashed a divine light that obliterated the Qilin.

With a 'Universal Pull', he grabbed Sasuke and reached for the Kusanagi sword at his lower back.

“I’m a fair person, and you can’t escape either.”

"Is being one-armed cool? Want to be Yang Guo, the Condor Hero? You might as well be the Armless Hero!"

With a "snap!" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen raised his sword and chopped off Sasuke's right arm!

"Ughh ...

Dust bent down and picked up Sasuke's severed arm, and the Oodomo Frozen Stream was activated.

"Snap!" The severed arm disappeared into the frost and haze.

In this way... we have the 'Rinnegan material' to prepare for the next generation.

Sasuke was already severely injured and weak, and the pain of losing his arm made things even worse. He quickly collapsed from exhaustion.

The Konoha members looked like wilted eggplants, all of them listless and dejected.

They couldn't understand why, why things had turned out this way? Why, after the Fourth Shinobi World War, was Konoha, which was at its zenith, suddenly... driven to the brink of destruction by one person.

Dust's gaze traced through the crowd.

He didn't forget one thing, a very important thing.

If he doesn't figure that out, he won't be able to sleep soundly even when he's holding Guang at night.

After searching for a while, his gaze soon settled on one person.

The fact that Kotoamatsukami was ineffective was definitely not a coincidence.

In my eyes, there is no room for a speck of dust.

He strode towards Nara Shikamaru.

"Let me see what you're all about."

--------

I'll update two chapters first. The third chapter will be during the day. I have a headache and I still have to take care of the child. I'm a bit overwhelmed.

Chapter 138 Third Party

"Huff, ha, huff, ha..." As Chen walked forward, the people of Konoha began to exhale and retreat in unison.

Only Shikamaru, whose aura had been locked onto by Chen, remained squatting motionless on the ground.

Chen walked straight toward him.

At that moment, Temari, eager to protect her husband, overcame her fear and quickly stepped in front of him to block the dust.

"You are not allowed to lay a hand on Shikamaru!"

"Crack!" Just as she unfolded the three-star fan in her hand, intending to use wind magic to fan away the dust, it was shattered by the latter's divine light in a single glance.
