The Ten-Tails is an overwhelming force.
It instills fear in Hashirama and makes Madara's heart race.
This amalgamation of all the powers of the nine tailed beasts has undergone a profound transformation.
Even Hashirama and Madara cannot ignore the immense sense of oppression.
The tailed beasts, who had been observing from the sidelines, now stared in astonishment.
"My dear... can the combined strength of all of us be so formidable?"
"It's truly terrifying. It feels as though it's on a completely different level than us."
"Stinky Tanuki, do you finally believe that the number of tails represents a tailed beast's power?" Kurama seized the opportunity to taunt.
Shukaku, who had always been opposed to measuring tailed beasts' power by their tails, was now confronted with the reality of the Ten-Tails. What could he say now?
"Shut up, you fox. The Ten-Tails is an exceptional case. It has absorbed the power of all our tailed beasts. Naturally, it's stronger. It has nothing to do with the number of tails. We're all on the same level now. Don't bring this up again," Shukaku replied irritably.
"Humph!"
Kurama snorted dismissively and fell silent. With the argument over, all the tailed beasts focused their attention back on the Ten-Tails.
"Takuya, can this monster truly be subdued?"
"Takuya, are you really planning to seal this creature inside your body?" Hashirama asked, eyeing Takuya.
"If you attempt to seal something like this into your body, you might die if you're not careful."
"Hahahaha! Hashirama, why are you so frightened?" Madara laughed loudly. "Even the Ten-Tails is merely a beast. It has immense power, but it doesn't know how to wield it properly."
Madara's previous goal was to seal the Ten-Tails into his own body, so he wasn't intimidated by its presence.
"Kid, if you're scared, leave it to me," Madara offered, looking at Takuya.
"Madara, put those thoughts aside. It's just the Ten-Tails. Since I revived it, I naturally have a method to conquer it," Takuya replied with a calm smile.
In the original story, Madara and Obito, with their peak shadow-level strength, managed to seal the Ten-Tails. Although they couldn't consistently suppress it, Takuya's strength exceeds even the peak of the shadow level—he stands at the true pinnacle of the Six Paths. Even the Ten-Tails cannot pose a challenge to him.
"Fine, kid. If you can't handle it, let us know. For the sake of our friendship, Hashirama and I will help you suppress the Ten-Tails."
After Madara's remark, he and Hashirama retreated several thousand meters, leaving the battlefield entirely to Takuya.
"Roar!"
The Ten-Tails roared as it fully awakened after a period of adjustment. It finally noticed the small figure of Takuya standing before it.
Without hesitation, the Ten-Tails raised its massive paw and swiped at Takuya.
Boom!
The Ten-Tails' attack was easily dodged by Takuya.
"Sage Art: Wood Style: True Several Thousand Hands!"
"Perfect Susanoo!"
With a commanding shout from Takuya, a colossal statue of Buddha, larger than the Ten-Tails, appeared in front of it. The Buddha statue was enveloped in a chilling chakra, and within moments, it was fully encased in Susanoo.
"Unbelievable... you can still use such a combination of techniques?!" Hashirama exclaimed, astonished. He had never expected Takuya to employ such an intricate blend of ninjutsu.
"This kid is truly remarkable," Madara said with admiration. Although he knew Takuya's strength surpassed his own, witnessing Takuya's seamless use of True Several Thousand Hands and Susanoo was still impressive. True Several Thousand Hands requires an enormous amount of chakra, and overlaying Susanoo on such a massive Buddha statue was even more daunting. Yet Takuya made it look effortless.
"Just stay quiet and watch!"
Takuya maneuvered the massive Buddha at his feet and struck the Ten-Tails with force. Thousands of enormous arms descended upon the Ten-Tails, causing it to cry out from the impact.
When Takuya's assault ceased, the Ten-Tails had been knocked hundreds of meters away.
"DA!"
The pain enraged the Ten-Tails further. Its tails flailed furiously, and its head transformed into a massive flower-shaped cannon, concentrating a terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb in front of it.
"Not good! I've never seen a Tailed Beast Bomb like this before!" Hashirama observed in shock.
"This level of power is unlike any ordinary Tailed Beast Bomb."
"Hashirama, stay calm. That brat... will handle it," Madara said solemnly. With the situation now at hand, they could only trust Takuya.
"Fool!" Takuya said, looking at the Tailed Beast Bomb with disdain. It was clear that the Ten-Tails wouldn't relent until it was thoroughly defeated.
"DA!"
As the Tailed Beast Bomb reached completion, it was launched toward Takuya with a deafening roar.
At that moment, everyone—Hashirama, Madara, Shukaku, and Kurama—held their breath. Could Takuya really withstand such an attack?
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Just as the Tailed Beast Bomb was about to strike, Takuya activated the Flying Thunder God technique. The space in front of him warped, and the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Bomb vanished with the distortion.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion resonated from a distant location, creating a massive mushroom cloud and devastating shockwaves. The two mountains in the distance were obliterated, disappearing without a trace.
"This... this kind of power..."
"Unbelievable..."
Watching the two mountains vanish into thin air, Hashirama and Madara couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Is this the true might of the Ten-Tails? It's terrifying," Hashirama muttered.
"The power of the Tailed Beast Bomb released by other tailed beasts is nothing compared to the one from the Ten-Tails. Those mountains, thousands of meters high and stretching for miles, were reduced to dust by a single blast. It's truly terrifying."
"Thank goodness Takuya used the Flying Thunder God to deflect the Ten-Tails' attack. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Hashirama said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I thought I could help Takuya, but now... it seems we're out of our depth," Hashirama sighed.
Madara nodded in agreement. The Ten-Tails had fully absorbed the power of all the tailed beasts and entered its final form. Even Hashirama and Madara felt helpless against it.
"Roar!!!" The Ten-Tails, enraged by its failed attack, slammed the ground with its colossal tail. It raised its head again, preparing to unleash another Tailed Beast Bomb at Takuya.
But this time, Takuya wouldn't allow it. Controlling the Buddha statue, he struck the Ten-Tails with a rapid series of blows. Thousands of enormous arms pummeled the Ten-Tails' body.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The ground quaked under the force. The Ten-Tails howled in pain, curling up under Takuya's relentless assault. After what seemed like an eternity, Takuya finally ceased his attack.
The Ten-Tails' once ferocious eyes were now filled with fear. It couldn't comprehend how this small human could possess such overwhelming power, let alone sustain it for so long. If not for its durable body, it would have been obliterated by now.
"Beast, have you had enough?" Takuya asked calmly, his expression as composed as ever, as if the high-intensity attack had taken no toll on him.
"Unbelievable... this kid is terrifying," Madara said, disbelief evident in his voice. "Hashirama, compared to him, you're just... ordinary."
"Madara, I think I finally understand how the Sage of Six Paths fought Kaguya for three months. Compared to beings like them, we're not even ants. Takuya is truly extraordinary," Hashirama sighed. He once believed his chakra was the limit for humans, but compared to Takuya, his chakra was just a drop in the ocean.
If Takuya knew what they were thinking, he would probably scoff. Talent? This was the result of relentless training, day and night.
"Beast, have you had enough?" Takuya repeated, his gaze locked onto the Ten-Tails.
"Roar!" The Ten-Tails roared defiantly, attempting to rise and attack once more.
Seeing this, Takuya snorted. "Kamui!" he commanded, and a terrifying eye power was unleashed. The space around the Ten-Tails began to warp, severing its limbs and tails in an instant.
Boom! The Ten-Tails crashed to the ground, fear now overtaking the pain. This human was beyond terrifying. Even a Tailed Beast Bomb couldn't breach his defenses, yet he could tear its body apart with ease.
"Ten-Tails, I'll give you one last chance," Takuya said, focusing on its neck. With another use of Kamui, he could decapitate it in an instant. Feeling the familiar spatial distortion, the Ten-Tails finally submitted, lowering its head in surrender.
Takuya smiled faintly. "Wouldn't it have been better if you'd done this sooner?"
He leapt onto the Ten-Tails' head and clapped his hands. The massive beast's body began to shrink, its vast chakra being absorbed into Takuya's body. As the Ten-Tails was sealed, Takuya's aura underwent a profound transformation, radiating across the entire ninja world.
Under this immense pressure, everyone in the ninja world was forced to their knees. Even Madara and Hashirama were no exception.
"What just happened?"
"I don't know, but I feel a crushing sense of dread."
"Damn it, I can't stand up. What kind of prank is this?" Panic spread throughout the ninja world.
Madara and Hashirama, witnessing everything, could hardly believe their eyes. Before, Takuya, though powerful, had seemed like an ordinary person when he suppressed his aura. But now, a mere glance in his direction sent chills down their spines. They could sense that if Takuya wished to obliterate them, he could do so with a mere thought.
They bowed their heads, not daring to meet Takuya's gaze, feeling that even looking at him was a blasphemy. Meanwhile, Takuya, having sealed the Ten-Tails, was unaware of their fear. He was too consumed by the incredible surge of power he felt, far beyond anything he had imagined. He had reached the pinnacle of the Bloodline Limit, at the level of a true god.
