Boom! The entire village of Konoha was violently shaken as a massive figure rose from the depths of the ground.
This moment caught the attention of everyone!
The size of a Tailed Beast was already enormous, standing as tall as hundreds of meters. Similarly, a fully-suited Susanoo was also incredibly massive, easily standing at over a hundred meters high, equivalent to a thirty-story building! As such, in terms of size, a fully-formed Susanoo could wrap around a Tailed Beast. Uchiha Madara had once done that. Likewise, the Wood Human Technique was comparable in size—just like a hundred-meter-tall Vajra Guardian.
But what about the True Several Thousand Hands technique?
There was no need to say much—just looking at how the original version of True Several Thousand Hands could grab the Nine-Tails like a baby chick was enough to understand. The form of the True Several Thousand Hands was hundreds of meters tall, truly resembling a small mountain!
At this moment, all the people of Konoha Village raised their heads, looking in awe at the massive True Several Thousand Hands!
This was outrageous! If the hundred-meter-tall Wood Human Technique could be likened to a toddler taking its first steps, then the True Several Thousand Hands was like an NBA star on the basketball court in terms of size.
The disparity was obvious!
Everyone had known for a while that Akira possessed Wood Release techniques, but this particular move was just too much!
Akira was not holding back his chakra in the slightest. He directly unleashed the True Several Thousand Hands technique, standing atop the Buddha's head!
If the ordinary Wood Human was like a Vajra Guardian, then True Several Thousand Hands was like a Thousand-Handed Avalokiteśvara!
Standing atop the Buddha's head, Akira looked down at the entire Konoha Village.
Of course, Akira's gaze was locked directly onto Ōtsutsuki Urashiki!
Though having a large body did not necessarily mean greater power, when the size reached an extreme, just the sheer size could convey an overwhelming feeling of power!
It was like comparing fuel consumption of cars—a higher consumption doesn't always mean a more powerful engine.
For example, a car that consumes 10 liters per 100 kilometers doesn't necessarily have more horsepower compared to one that uses 7 or 8 liters. However, if one car consumed only 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers, and another used dozens of liters, that said enough by itself!
Even Urashiki was taken aback, seeing the towering True Several Thousand Hands, four to five hundred meters in height, with a stunned expression on his face.
This move... was just too large!
"True Several Thousand Hands!"
Akira wasted no time. From the Buddha's back, countless arms appeared, fanning out like a peacock displaying its plumage, and transforming into a dense meteor shower as they slammed towards Urashiki!
Facing such an attack, Urashiki immediately stopped extracting the Nine-Tails chakra. His blue Rinnegan transformed into a blood-red one, and his red energy shield was pushed to its absolute limit!
Facing an attack of the magnitude of True Several Thousand Hands, evading was simply impossible—the density of the fists was far greater than the bindings of Deep Forest Emergence.
Thus, the only option was to take the blows head-on!
Dodging a single bullet might be feasible with positioning, but dodging a thousand bullets? That was impossible.
Therefore, facing Akira's True Several Thousand Hands, the only thing Urashiki could do was desperately use his defenses!
Boom!
In this war, who was the strongest? There was no doubt about Urashiki's power!
But right now, everyone stared in awe at the massive True Several Thousand Hands, with punches falling like a dense meteor shower. Everyone was deeply shocked.
What kind of power could be called invincible? There hadn't been a concrete concept until now, but now there was. This was invincibility!
The colossal figure made even the Tailed Beasts look tiny, and the densely packed attacks made evasion impossible, leaving only the option to defend.
However, forcing someone to defend against thousands of punches one after the other—could anyone really endure that?
With such height, even a single punch could possess the destructive power of an A-Rank jutsu!
Thousands of punches falling down would definitely result in a terrifying qualitative change!
"Did we win?" Naruto, though extremely weakened at this moment, looked up with difficulty at the gigantic True Several Thousand Hands with a sense of joy in his heart.
Such destructive power, such immense strength—surely no one could withstand this, right?
So then... Akira must have won, right?
"Huff, huff, huff..." Akira was also panting heavily!
The consumption of his chakra was enormous, and at this point, Akira had also reached his limit. The giant True Several Thousand Hands also remained motionless!
It was like a massive machine that had run out of fuel!
"Did I defeat him?" Akira looked seriously in Urashiki's direction, muttering to himself!
In the original story, the First Hokage had even used this move to defeat Uchiha Madara wielding both Susanoo and the Nine-Tails!
Both were of super Kage level power, and Akira believed Madara's strength was not inferior to that of the Ōtsutsuki clan!
After a long time, when the dust finally cleared, Urashiki appeared in a miserable state—his face bruised and swollen as if he had been severely beaten.
He looked worn out, panting heavily as well. It was clear that defending against the True Several Thousand Hands had consumed an enormous amount of chakra.
His body also bore serious injuries!
"What an incredible technique... I almost couldn't hold on!" Urashiki, with his blood-red Rinnegan glaring, spoke. His Rinnegan had shifted from blue to red!
Then, Urashiki pulled out a pill from his basket and put it into his mouth.
Right before their eyes, Urashiki's injuries began healing rapidly, and his heavy breathing soon ceased. The chakra in his body became even more abundant!
"This guy... Everyone else is like the summoner version without blue potions, and here he is, as the version with blue potions! That's so irritating!" Akira shook his head, seeing Urashiki take the pill and restore his chakra, muttering to himself.
"Well, Akira, your chakra has reached its limit, right? Aren't you going to fill it up?" Urashiki, who had just looked extremely weak, was now filled with vitality, and spoke to Akira.
No words were needed. By now, Akira's chakra had indeed been exhausted, so it was time for him to replenish it!
Taking a deep breath, Akira activated the reward selection from his Life Simulator—chakra extraction!
In an instant, Akira's chakra surged.
Not only did he completely recover, but he even extracted an extra wave! His breathing also stabilized immediately.
"Wow, these two are just too insane!" Kakashi, exhausted after prolonged fighting, glanced at Urashiki and Akira, unable to help but exclaim!
Indeed, the strength of Urashiki and Akira was overwhelming. After such a long battle, they had clearly reached their chakra limits.
But in the blink of an eye, Urashiki's chakra had almost completely recovered?
Sure, Urashiki's recovery was understandable. After all, his fishing hook could drain others' chakra, and the pills in his basket could boost his chakra and heal his injuries.
But what about Akira? His chakra was also restored in an instant?
And the most puzzling part was that no one knew how Akira managed to do that!
Such a cheat-like recovery ability left everyone speechless.
It was undeniably shocking!
"That kid Akira is becoming more and more monstrous... even more monstrous than you!" Jiraiya, who was also injured, commented, his heart filled with emotion as he watched Akira.
The latter part of his comment was directed at Orochimaru!
But Orochimaru, far from being angry, instead smiled and said, "How could I be compared to Lord Akira? It's only natural that I am no match for him!"
"You... You have too much respect for him, don't you?" Jiraiya asked, surprised as he looked at Orochimaru.
From what Jiraiya knew about Orochimaru, he wasn't someone who would easily respect others!
"Just keep watching. Lord Akira's true trump card hasn't even been revealed yet," Orochimaru replied meaningfully, without directly answering Jiraiya's question.
"His true trump card? This kid has already used True Several Thousand Hands, and yet he still has a more powerful trump card?" Jiraiya looked shocked as he questioned Orochimaru.
But Orochimaru didn't offer further explanations. He just calmly said, "Up until now, no one has ever seen Lord Akira use his true trump card. I wonder if the legendary Rinnegan might finally push him to reveal it?"
A look of anticipation filled Orochimaru's expression.
Seeing Orochimaru's reaction, Jiraiya couldn't help but feel astonished!
Did Akira really have an even stronger trump card?
It was already shocking enough to see everything unfold like this. And yet, Akira was still holding back his trump card?
"Alright, the first half of the battle is over. Now it's time for the second half, isn't it?" With his chakra fully restored and his health bar full, Akira looked at Urashiki and spoke!
