Chapter 1299 Swish Swish Swish

After reforming, the giant monster let out a deafening roar that shook the ground. Will-o'-the-wisps flickered around it, and a chilling aura emanated from it. Luffy roared, stretching out his arms like two giant pythons to coil around the monster, only to be easily flung back. Naruto rapidly formed hand seals, unleashing a Rasengan, but the Rasengan struck the monster, creating only ripples and having no effect whatsoever.

Sasuke's Susanoo, even with its full power, only managed to leave a few shallow scratches on the monster. Kakashi frowned, pondering a way to defeat the enemy. Suddenly, he remembered that ghosts feared yang energy and purification power most. He shouted, "Everyone, concentrate and release your yang energy!" Hearing this, everyone mobilized their inner power, and in an instant, yang energy filled the air.

Forced by the yang energy, the monster began to sway. Just then, Kakashi cast a purification jutsu, a beam of light shooting towards the monster. The monster howled in agony, its body gradually dissipating. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, exchanging smiles; they had finally won the battle. However, just when everyone thought it was all over, an even stronger yin energy surged from where the monster had vanished, and a much larger, more terrifying figure emerged. This was the monster's true form; the previous one was merely a clone. The newly appeared true form let out an even more piercing roar, its sound like sharp blades tearing through everyone's eardrums.

Luffy charged forward again, this time activating Gear Fourth, his entire body enveloped in Haki, crashing into the monster like a cannonball. Naruto and Sasuke stood shoulder to shoulder, the two unleashing their strongest combination attack. Kakashi also used his Advanced Purification Jutsu once more, while directing the others to assist by releasing even more Yang energy.

However, this creature was exceptionally powerful. While their attacks could inflict damage, they couldn't destroy it. Just as the battle reached a stalemate, the monster suddenly opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a black energy wave. The group had no time to dodge and were struck by the energy wave, collapsing to the ground. The situation was once again critical. Whether they could find a new way to defeat the monster, or would they be defeated by this terrifying creature, remained uncertain. Lying on the ground, the group struggled to get up. The monster approached step by step, its emanating a suffocating aura. Just as the monster was about to launch a fatal attack, a golden light flashed—Gohan had arrived. He transformed into Super Saiyan Blue, his powerful aura instantly suppressing the monster's aura. Gohan charged at the monster, raining down punches and kicks upon it, forcing the monster to retreat repeatedly.

But the monster quickly regained its footing and attacked again. At this moment, Sakura and Tsunade joined the battle, using medical ninjutsu to restore everyone's strength. Recovering, the group rallied and engaged the monster in fierce combat once more.

Everyone cooperated, each utilizing their strengths, and the attack gradually became effective. The monster began to falter, its wounds multiplying. Just then, Kakashi discovered the monster's weak point and shouted, "Attack its forehead!" Hearing this, everyone concentrated their power on the monster's forehead. With a combined strike, the monster let out a final scream, collapsed to the ground, and vanished in a puff of black smoke. This arduous battle seemed to be finally over. But when new light appeared in the sky, everyone realized it was far from over.
