Chapter 335: Naruto and Sasuke on verge of Death! Sage of Six Paths?

Above the sea.

Chakra surged within Uzumaki Naruto!

When the Nine-Tails was willing to extend a fist and fight alongside him, Uzumaki Naruto had already achieved the perfect jinchuriki state!

A golden Nine-Tails suddenly emerged!

For the first time, the Nine-Tails jinchuriki unleashed his peak power!

In an instant, a Tailed Beast Bomb formed at the mouth of the golden Nine-Tails and was fired towards the Gedo Statue, faster than any other tailed beast could manage!

The most ferocious tailed beast in the ninja world...

...demonstrated the incredible strength of the combination of a tailed beast and its jinchuriki!

"Tricks of a novice."

Akihara Kagura shook his head indifferently.

A wooden dragon emerged from behind him, catching the Tailed Beast Bomb in its mouth and flinging it in another direction!

Boom!

The entire sea surface exploded in an instant!

The wooden dragon charged at the golden Nine-Tails, wrapping around its body!

"Roar!"

The golden Nine-Tails roared to the sky, charging forward without hesitation!

"Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!"

Golden hands emerged from its body, each holding a massive Rasengan, which then landed on the wooden dragon, shattering it instantly!

The golden Nine-Tails charged towards the Gedo Statue again, with nothing in its way, and began forming another Tailed Beast Bomb!

Akihara Kagura raised his hand once more, and the white light of Dust Release pierced through the golden Nine-Tails' body, causing it to howl in pain!

However...

The pain did not cause it to hesitate!

Golden chakra quickly refilled its body!

The Nine-Tails leaped off the sea surface, pouncing towards Akihara Kagura who stood atop the Gedo Statue, ready to attack!

Boom!

Akihara Kagura soared into the sky, kicking the Nine-Tails in the head, sending it crashing heavily into the sea. A purple chain emerged from the Gedo Statue's mouth, binding its neck and dragging it towards the statue's mouth!

"Calm down a bit..."

Akihara Kagura squinted slightly, watching the Nine-Tails being slowly drawn into the Gedo Statue, and Uzumaki Naruto falling towards the sea.

At the next moment!

A figure appeared beside Uzumaki Naruto!

It wasn't Minato, who was prepared to catch Naruto, but Uchiha Sasuke, who had just arrived, albeit late!

"Naruto!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked incredulously at the Uzumaki Naruto in his arms!

"Sasuke, quickly replace me and the Second Hokage in fighting Akihara Kagura..."

Minato instructed Uchiha Sasuke hurriedly, "We can't let Naruto die here. Let me save him; we need a medical ninja!"

"I understand..."

Uchiha Sasuke handed Uzumaki Naruto over to Minato, and said seriously, "Don't worry, Tsunade and Sakura will be here soon..."

After speaking, Uchiha Sasuke looked towards the battlefield.

At this moment, the battlefield was eerily calm.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the Gedo Statue, which finally began to change, as ten tails emerged from its back!

After absorbing the Nine-Tails' chakra...

...the Ten-Tails was finally resurrected!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the revived Ten-Tails, seeing it for the first time, looking so different from the other tailed beasts!

The Ten-Tails had brown skin all over, a single red Rinne Sharingan on its face, branches growing wildly from its head, a body larger than any other tailed beast, and ten tails dancing in the air...

There was no doubt...

Its chakra was terrifying!

Even more terrifying than any chakra anyone had ever sensed in their lives!

Standing on top of the Ten-Tails, Akihara Kagura smiled smugly and began forming the hand signs to become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki.

"Everything is going according to my plan..."

"Not necessarily, brat!"

Tobirama appeared beside Akihara Kagura, holding an explosive tag, ready to stick it onto him!

Akihara Kagura raised his finger!

The Ten-Tails' tail suddenly struck, sending Tobirama flying!

"Why did you kill Naruto?!"

Uchiha Sasuke immediately followed, swinging his blade: "For the sake of your so-called plan, how many more lives do you intend to take?!"

"That's not up to me..."

Akihara Kagura dodged Uchiha Sasuke's attack, grabbing his wrist and kicking him away!

However, a sharp glint flashed in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, teleporting Akihara Kagura away from the Ten-Tails to his brother, Uchiha Itachi!

"Madara!"

Uchiha Sasuke shouted to Uchiha Madara!

Uchiha Itachi's voice was filled with unbearable pain.

That Mangekyo Sharingan was a trap!

It was specifically set up as a trap for him and Uchiha Sasuke!

This was Akihara Kagura's revenge? For his attempt to kill Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nono?

But...

He couldn't say it out loud!

"Sasuke, do you feel the pain now?"

Akihara Kagura watched the brothers' mutual destruction with indifference and laughed, "Do you think what you see is real?"

"Ahhhhh!"

Madness flickered in Uchiha Sasuke's eyes as he pushed Uchiha Itachi away and fell powerlessly onto the sea's surface, blood gushing from his chest.

This stab...

It was fatal for him!

Uchiha Sasuke, who once harbored immense hatred for Itachi, felt guilt and resentment after learning the truth about the clan's massacre. At this moment, it all turned into rage!

"Why!"

Clutching his chest, Uchiha Sasuke looked at his brother in agony!

He glared at Uchiha Itachi. For this brother, he left the Root, left his clan, yet this brother chose to kill him now, at this very moment!

At this critical juncture for the ninja world!

If no one stopped Akihara Kagura from seizing control of the Ten Tails, the entire ninja world would be annihilated!

"Sigh... I can't bear to watch anymore..."

Akihara Kagura raised his hand and began to heal Uchiha Sasuke's wounds: "Though I am the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world, from a medical perspective and not an enemy's, such a fatal wound is almost impossible to save..."

"You... self-proclaimed!"

Uchiha Sasuke's mouth twitched involuntarily. He was so speechless that he forgot to curse his brother and instead glanced at Akihara Kagura, weakly arguing, "Karin... is the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world!"

As Sasuke spoke, the wound on his chest worsened, and his eyelids drooped. He could feel his life slipping away...

"No..."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at his brother again, gritting his teeth as he questioned Uchiha Itachi: "Even if you wanted to kill me..."

"First, heal the wound..."

Akihara Kagura extended his hand, with green chakra desperately trying to heal Uchiha Sasuke's wounds, but it was ultimately in vain.

Akihara Kagura withdrew his hand and said helplessly, "To save such a wound, only the legendary Sage of the Six Paths could help..."

"I'll take him to Lady Tsunade..."

Hatake Kakashi's face was grim as he reached out to carry Uchiha Sasuke away, his eyes fixed on Akihara Kagura: "Can I take Sasuke away?"

At least...

For the sake of our past...

Hatake Kakashi looked at Akihara Kagura, unable to voice his thoughts.

All the jokes they shared in the past had long since faded in the wind, and he could no longer joke with his close friend as he once did.

"Of course."

Akihara Kagura smiled lightly, his gaze shifting to the distance where the Ten Tails was being absorbed by Uchiha Madara: "Your plan succeeded... Uchiha Madara has become the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki... This chakra might even be stronger than mine..."

"Are you going to abandon your plan?"

Hatake Kakashi picked up his dying disciple.

"My plan?"

Akihara Kagura put an arm around Hatake Kakashi, smiling as he said, "Wait a moment, let me say one last thing to the dying Sasuke..."

"..."

Hatake Kakashi took a deep breath.

For Sasuke, every second counted!

"Relax!"

Akihara Kagura raised his finger and pointed it at Uchiha Sasuke's forehead, smiling as he said, "I've bound his soul. Even if he dies, his soul will remain in his body. Isn't that a big help?"

"So what do you intend to do?"

Hatake Kakashi frowned, puzzled by the man before him.

At that moment...

Hatake Kakashi felt Akihara Kagura was shrouded in mystery again.

"Have him deliver a message for me."

Akihara Kagura bowed his head slightly and whispered in Uchiha Sasuke's ear, "Sasuke, if you see the Sage of the Six Paths, remember to ask him for me..."

"What... nonsense..."

Uchiha Sasuke muttered faintly.

"Ask him if he has always been this arrogant?"

Akihara Kagura smiled faintly, his voice barely audible: "If he is no longer arrogant and needs my help to deal with Kaguya with you all, then what can he offer me?"
