Chapter 159 Fierce battle on the moon!
As soon as he rushed out of the temple, Shinji saw Tenseigan puppets densely packed in the sky, rushing towards him in groups.
"Damn!"
Cursing secretly, Shinji kept moving, leaped onto the gravel belt in a flash, and then rushed to Otsutsuki's branch castle at full speed.
Neji rushed out of the temple after him, and then saw the densely packed Tenseigan puppets in the air, took a breath, and followed Shinji closely.
He was still a little confused before, and didn't understand why Shinji escaped in such a hurry.
Now, he understands!
Because not only in the air, but also a large group of Tenseigan puppets gushed out from the Datongmu castle at this moment, and rushed towards them along the gravel belt.
There were a large number of Tenseigan puppets attacking in the air, and another group of Tenseigan puppets blocked the way in front of them. Neji couldn't help shouting: "My lord, what should we do?"
Shinji said coldly: "Kill it!"
A large area, including Otsutsuki's branch castle and the rocky mountains, is all protected by a protective shield, so if you want to rush out, you must either break the protective shield, or you can only rush out through the passage you sneaked in.
And this protective shield was obviously inspired by the giant reincarnation eye.
In the original time and space, Otsutsuki Sheren once said to Hinata that as long as they stay inside the protective cover, even if the moon hits the earth and destroys the entire surface, the two of them are safe.
It can be seen how strong this protective cover is.
So Shinji's only way out right now is the passage they sneaked in before!
Soon, the two sides met on the gravel belt.
Boom boom boom.
The high-level Tenseigan puppets in these castles can emit chakra energy bombs similar to light waves just by raising their hands.
So in an instant, light waves flew across the gravel belt, exploding again and again!
Shinji knows whether he can escape, the key lies in time.
Once the people from the Otsutsuki branch reacted and manipulated the giant Tenseigan to deal with them, their chances of escape would be very slim.
Therefore, they must not be entangled by these Tenseigan puppets.
While avoiding the beams of light from the Tenseigan puppet, Shinji glanced across, and then had an idea in his heart.
"Susanoo!"
He fixed his eyes, and activated the 'Susanoi' again, and this time he did not save his pupil power, and he came up as a half-body armored Susanoo.
Afterwards, he urged 'Susanou' to swing his bow left and right, grabbed the huge boulders suspended in the gravel belt, and smashed them hard at the Tenseigan puppets not far away.
Rumble!
Accompanied by the whistling sound, boulders with a diameter of five or six meters shot out like cannonballs!In a blink of an eye, it suppressed the Tenseigan puppets at the other end, making the entire gravel belt even more chaotic.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, Shinji's figure flashed, relying on the defensive power of 'Susanou', he forcibly resisted several light waves from the Tenseigan puppet, and led Neji out of the gravel belt.
After arriving at the Otsuki branch castle, Shinji, who was on the run, did not forget to observe the overall defense mechanism of the Otsutsuki branch castle.
Although the Tenseigan puppets in the sky are swarming at this time, they will sneak into the castle soon, so there is no need to worry about these enemies.
And those Tenseigan puppets on the gravel belt just now were either smashed into pieces by the boulder thrown by his 'Susano', or were blown away by his 'Susano' punch. Some of them are also out of order at the moment, like headless chickens.
a little further.
Those rocky mountains floating in the air were all shining with light spots. It seemed that they should be stationed Tenseigan puppets who had entered a state of combat readiness. With his sharp eyes, he even saw many forts protruding from the towers.
"It seems that as long as the giant Tenseigan is alarmed, the defense system of the castle will be fully activated."
Shinji, who had this idea flashed in his mind, kept his figure and rushed into the passage they had come from before.
boom!
After urging 'Susanou' to smash several Tenseigan puppets with a punch, Shinji followed the passage and fled all the way to the bottom of the castle.
Along the way, Tenseigan puppets blocked them from time to time.
But in front of Susanoo, these Tenseigan puppets could delay them a little at most, unable to cause any harm to them.
Seeing the powerful Tenseigan puppets being easily destroyed by Susano, Neji, who followed Shinji closely, was shocked: "So strong!"
When he saw Tenseigan puppets swarming towards him earlier, he once thought he was doomed.
But following Shinji all the way down, he was shocked to find that as long as the strength is below a certain level, he is completely vulnerable in front of Shinji.
In his judgment, many high-ranking Tenseigan puppets whose strength is almost close to that of Jonin, in front of Shinji's mighty Susanoo, are just a matter of punching!
Stopping at a fork in the road, Shinji asked Neji, "Which side?"
Ning Ci hurriedly restrained his thoughts, rolled his eyes and glanced, then pointed to the right side: "My lord, it's this side!"
But as soon as the words fell, he shouted again: "No!"
Shinji turned around, "What's wrong?"
Ning Ci said: "In this passage, apart from a large group of puppets, there seems to be a living person among them, rushing towards this side!"
Shinji's expression darkened.
The living people in this castle are undoubtedly all members of the Otsuki branch.
He is not afraid of anything else now, but he is afraid of the Otsutsuki branch who can connect the giant Tenseigan, because the power of the giant Tenseigan is too domineering, and ninjas who are not of the Otsutsuki Yumura family can't resist the giant Tenseigan's forced extraction. carat.
The original time and space.
Otsuki Toreto had not fully awakened his Tenseiken and was still in the period of fetal movement, so he used the giant Tenseikan to forcibly extract the chakra ability, and just succeeded in sealing Otsuki Kaguya's body in the fourth battle. Naruto.
You must know that Naruto at that time was almost the pinnacle of the ninja world.
And after the giant Tenshogan was destroyed by Hinata and Naruto, even though Otsutsuki Tonero awakened his Tenseiken and possessed the terrifying power to cut the moon, he was still defeated by Naruto.
It can be seen how exaggerated the giant Tenseikan's improvement in Otsutsuki Toneri's combat effectiveness is!
Despite the headache, there was only one way out, so Shinji had to bite the bullet and go forward.
After a few breaths, the two sides met in the passage.
Staring at the gray-haired member of the Otsutsuki branch family in the puppet group opposite, Shinji's expression became gloomy again.
The opponent's Chakra is obviously much stronger than the member of the Otsutsuki branch he encountered in the temple before.
Judging by his eyesight, the chakra level of this member of the Otsutsuki Branch is definitely at the Kage level.
Fortunately, the opponent looked very old, and his strength should have begun to decline.
The white-haired old man from the Otsutsuki branch family scolded angrily at this moment: "You lowly ninjas, how dare you trespass on my clan's forbidden area!"
After all, he waved his right hand.
Swish swish.
The high-ranking Tenseigan puppets standing around him rushed towards Shinji like arrows flying off the string one by one.
Shinji's eyes were fixed, and immediately, while urging "Susanou", he swung his long knife and slashed at the high-ranking Tenseigan puppets, and at the same time, he took the time to launch "Izanaki life" on the old man of Otsutsuki Branch '.
The long sword of 'Susanōhu' cut out a huge sword light, and together with the channel, it swallowed the high-level tenseiyan puppets that came rushing.
Boom.
The roar of the passage collapsed, surging out together with the smoke and dust!
In the turbid smoke and dust, Shinji's face under the mask was a little embarrassed.
In the branch of fate spied on by "Izanagi Ming" just now, under the furious attack of the old man of the Otsutsuki branch, he barely resisted for two or three minutes before being defeated.
Whether it is 'Susano' or 'Amaterasu', they are all vulnerable in front of the giant Tenseigan!
call.
At this time, the old man from the Datsunmu Branch family on the opposite side waved his hand lightly, and the smoke and dust that filled the passageway was completely emptied by an invisible repulsive force!
After removing the smoke and dust, looking at the wreckage of puppets and the broken corridors everywhere, the old man of Datongmu's family became more angry: "You filth that invades the moon, let me wipe it off with my own hands!"
Shinji, who received a fate feedback, had a thought, and before the old man of the Otsutsuki branch launched an offensive, he used 'Izanagi nome' again.
Since the pupil technique can't resist the opponent, this time he plans to use the physical technique to compete with the opponent to see if he can find a trace of life.
In an instant, he spied the branch of fate again.
Only this time, he lost even faster than last time.
This old man from Otsutsuki's family looks very old, but in fact his physical skills are extremely superb, far from being comparable to him who is only eight years old and has only practiced physical skills for a few months, so this time he is less than 15 years old. In seconds, he was defeated by the old man from the Datongmu family.
And at this moment, the old man from the Datongmu branch rushed forward.
Just as Shinji wanted to make a move, his body was inexplicably sucked into the air by an inexplicable suction force, and flew towards the old man of Otsutsuki branch.
"cut!"
He spat lightly, and immediately urged 'Susano' to spread his arms, and slammed into the walls on both sides of the corridor, barely resisting the suction.
At this time, the old man from the Otsutsuki branch had already bullied Shinji, holding a royal blue light ball in his hand, and slammed it hard at Shinji's 'Susano'.
Swish!
In an instant, the 'Susano' that shrouded Shinji was absorbed by the sapphire blue light in the hands of the old man from the Otsutsuki branch.
"hateful!"
Without any hesitation, Shinji quickly stepped back.
In the branch of fate he peeked at before, he saw that the old man of the Otsutsuki branch had used this trick. In that branch of fate, he only hesitated for a while. Not only was 'Susano' absorbed by the other party, but even his All the chakra on his body was also taken away.
At this time, the light ball that absorbed Shinji's Susanoo in the hand of the old man of the Otsutsuki branch turned golden.
The old man of the Otsutsuki branch glanced at his palm, as if he was a little surprised that Shinji's Chakra level was so high, but the suspicion flashed in his eyes, and his gloomy expression resumed again. All the chakras shot at Shinji.
Shinji's face turned black, so he had to launch the 'Susano' again, resisting the chakra energy wave formed by his own chakra.
boom!
Another roar echoed in the corridor.
Neji, who was hiding behind Shinji, tightly covered his ears, observing the battle situation with difficulty.
The battle at this level in front of him made him completely lose the ability to intervene, and he didn't even dare to run around, because once he got out of Shinji's cover, he would probably die from unknown AOE.
At the same time, he was shocked by the fighting methods of both sides.
You must know that in his understanding, ninja battles are composed of several elements: body technique, ninjutsu, illusion, and ninja tools.
No matter how powerful a ninja is, he cannot escape these elements.
But the two sides fighting in front of them have never made a seal from the beginning to the end, and every move and style is an advanced use of Chakra.
After seeing these, he realized how insignificant he was, and how mediocre the soft fist he was proud of was.
The old man of the Otsutsuki branch stared at Shinji, and suddenly said: "Your chakra is very special, did you steal it from the heretic golem?"
Shinji was taken aback.
He has always been the one to blame others, and this is the first time that the blame has been pinned on him.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer!" After a pause, the old man from the Datongmu branch said coldly: "When I catch you, the old man will personally search your memory!"
Shinji let out a breath, and slowly took out the small nutrition jar with white eyes from the ninja bag on his waist.
The old man from the Datongmu family froze for a moment: "That's it!?"
Shinji took out the pair of supercilious eyes from the small nutrition jar in front of the old man of Otsutsuki branch, and put it flat in the palm of his hand.
The old man from the Datongmu branch took a step forward and shouted, "Where did you get your eyes?"
Neji on the side also looked at Shinji, not understanding why he took out his eyes.
"Hey!"
Shinji sighed, and immediately activated the 'Susa Zun Lamp'!
Instantly, the golden 'Susano' covering him let out a roar, and then a golden light shot out from the third pair of empty eye sockets under the visor, capturing the white eyes in Shinji's palm.
Seeing this scene, the old man from the Datongmu family turned pale with shock: "What did you do?"
Neji next to him also looked shocked, he never thought that Shinji's "Susano" would absorb those white eyes.
Shinji has never activated the full body "Susano", the purpose is to hide his own information, which is why he has thought of a countermeasure a long time ago, but he has been reluctant to activate it, because once the "Susano Lamp" is activated "If you control the white eyes, there is a risk of leaking the information of his kaleidoscope pupil technique."
Whether as the remnants of the Uchiha or as the "Lamp Carrier" guarding the world, hiding one's own information is the top priority.
It's just that he has reached a desperate situation now, and he can only do this.
And after controlling White Eyes, he also has White Eyes Chakra, in other words, he is immune to the giant Tenseikan's forcible extraction of Chakra!
So, he urged 'Susanenghu' to slash at the old man of Otsutsuki's family.

As soon as he rushed out of the temple, Shinji saw Tenseigan puppets densely packed in the sky, rushing towards him in groups.
