Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 638 The Strongest in History vs. The Strongest in History

Mai looked into Sasuke's eyes, those eyes that had just transformed from three-tomoe to Mangekyou Sharingan, their crimson hues now displaying entirely new patterns.

She was slightly taken aback. It had actually been activated at this moment? The Mangekyou Sharingan? Those eyes stared intently at her, the depths of their pupils churning not with hatred, but with resentment.

Sasuke knelt on the ground, blood still dripping from the tip of his tongue and down the corner of his mouth, but he didn't bother to wipe it away. He just stared straight at her with his newly awakened Mangekyou Sharingan.

Mai's expression, after a brief fluctuation, returned to calm. She didn't say anything to those eyes, offering no comment, no sentiment, not even a single line like, "You've finally unlocked the kaleidoscope."

She simply raised her hand, palm facing Sasuke. A small black ball slid from her sleeve and floated towards Sasuke. Sasuke watched the Truth-Seeking Ball drift towards him, his pupils showing not fear, but only confusion. Was she going to kill him? In this way?

The small black sphere stopped in front of him and then opened. The black sphere walls spread outwards, enveloping Sasuke completely. It didn't crush or devour him, but rather protected him tightly within a sealed sphere made of Truth-Seeking Balls.

"...Shinra Tensei".

Mai raised her other hand, and a tremendous repulsive force precisely struck the black sphere enveloping Sasuke, without any excess force spilling out.

The black sphere shot off in the opposite direction from the battlefield, disappearing on the other side of the horizon within seconds. Only after flying a considerable distance from the battlefield did the black protective shell slowly dissipate, revealing Uchiha Sasuke, still kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, trembling but unharmed.

"...You don't seem as heartless as you appear." Naruto stood there, looking in the direction where the black sphere disappeared, and spoke calmly.

"I already said, I don't want to waste any more words!"

Mai suddenly turned around, and the dark gold chakra cloak exploded on her body again, the golden flames burning even more fiercely than before.

At the same time, several Truth-Seeking Balls emerged from behind her, forming a ring and slowly rotating. Sage Mode eyeshadow appeared at the corners of her eyes, the golden cloak of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode enveloped her body, and the blue light of the Tenseigan emanated from the palm of her left hand.

Sage Mode, Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, and Tenseigan Chakra Mode. Three modes stacked together.

"Spiral Shuriken!"

A giant, rapidly spinning Rasengan flew from her hand, with wind-style chakra condensing into four huge and sharp chakra blades at the edge of the sphere. The sphere spun so fast that it emitted a sharp, piercing high-frequency hiss.

"Heavenly Thunder God - Thousand Cranes!"

Zuo Yue formed hand seals, and the lightning chakra that erupted from her body transformed into a torrent formed from countless bolts of lightning. The torrent split in mid-air, turning into countless, densely packed origami cranes of lightning.

A thousand thunder cranes flapped their wings simultaneously, like a migratory flock of birds made of lightning, rushing towards the direction of the spiral shuriken.

"boom--!!!"

The Rasengan and the Thousand Crane clashed head-on in the center of the battlefield. Wind and lightning chakra tore and intertwined with each other, the wind blades shredded the Thousand Crane, and the lightning shattered the wind blades.

But Mai's next attack was already waiting behind the smoke and dust.

"Boom—!!"

Several dark red Tailed Beast Balls flew out simultaneously from the golden chakra cloak behind her, sealing off all possible angles for evasion. Naruto reacted in an instant, and a golden fox-head chakra shield rose from the ground, enveloping both him and Sasuke.

Almost simultaneously, Sazuki placed her hand on Naruto's shoulder, and purple Susanoo chakra surged from her palm, covering the outline of the fox's head layer by layer, with another layer of purple Susanoo armor superimposed on the outside of the golden chakra shell.

Double defense. The moment the Tailed Beast Balls collided with the Susanoo's fox head, the explosion turned the entire battlefield a blinding pure white, and the shockwave, carrying rubble and scorched earth, swept in all directions. The temperature at the center of the explosion was so high that it melted the ground into magma.

However, when the smoke and dust finally dissipated, Mai saw that the Susanoo fox head below was still standing in place, its golden-purple double armor without a single crack.

"Stop!"

Naruto's voice came from inside the fox head of Susanoo.

"In the end, I'm just another version of you, aren't I? We have the same chakra, so why must we fight each other?"

"I've already said it! I'm completely different from someone like you whose head is full of naiveté! Don't always lump me in with you!"

Mai responded sternly.

"Can't you really stop? I don't want to kill you."

"You mean you can kill me whenever you want? In your eyes, am I such a weakling? Or do you think that your leniency towards me is an act of charity, and I should kneel down and thank you for sparing my life?"

"I didn't mean that—"

"Shut up!"

Mai clasped her hands together abruptly, her chakra surging wildly within her body. A Wood Release chakra, completely different from Hashirama's yet originating from the same source, erupted from her.

"Do you think this is the first time I've done something like this in all these years?!"

"Wood Release: Fang!"

The earth cracked open. A colossal figure rose from the crack, not the kind-faced wooden figure like Hashirama Senju, but a gigantic nine-tailed fox made of wood-style techniques, its size comparable to a complete Susanoo.

Every growth ring on its wooden body slowly emanated the light of chakra, and nine wooden tails slowly unfurled behind it, blotting out the sky and the air hummed in the shadow of those giant tails.

"This is... a modified version of the Wood Release: Nine-Tails Technique?" Naruto looked up at the enormous Wood Release: Nine-Tails. "You've even mastered Wood Release?"

That's not all! Dark golden Nine-Tails chakra surged from Mai's body and spread towards the body of the Wood Nine-Tails.

Golden chakra layered over the surface of the wooden Nine-Tails, transforming the originally simple and heavy wooden Nine-Tails into a dark golden steel behemoth that shimmered with metallic luster.

The strongest ninjutsu combined with the strongest tailed beast, the destructive power and vitality of Wood Release, the density and evil aura of the Nine-Tails' chakra—the two are perfectly fused together in this behemoth. This is the power that Mai has mastered.

"Then let's go!" Naruto turned his head and exchanged a glance with Satsuki beside him. "Please, Satsuki!"

"Yes!" Satsuki nodded heavily, and the purple eye power in her Mangekyou Sharingan began to be released without reservation.

The next moment, the golden Nine-Tails appeared out of thin air on the battlefield. It was Naruto's complete tailed beast transformation, the true form of the Yang Nine-Tails.

Golden chakra coalesced into a flesh-and-blood entity, with nine tails unfurling behind it. Each flick of the tails stirred up a gale powerful enough to overturn the entire street.

The Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth and let out a roar that shook the heavens.

"Whoa—!!"

The roar contained not only power, but also the exhilarating release of energy. This was the first time Naruto had fully unleashed Kurama in this battle; it had been holding back for far too long.

The moment the complete tailed beast transformation was completed, purple chakra armor began to spread downwards from the top of Kurama's head.

Susanoo's armor covered Kurama's entire body piece by piece. The helmet covered the fox's forehead and ears, the breastplate covered the fox's chest and abdomen, the shoulder armor covered the fox's forelimbs, the leg armor covered the fox's hind legs, and even the tips of the nine tails were wrapped in purple Susanoo chakra.

In an instant, the originally golden Nine-Tailed Fox transformed into a war behemoth clad in magnificent purple armor—Kurama: Armored Susanoo Mode!
