Chapter 756: Cry? Even Crying, You Must Die!
The exploding light of the Six Paths Rasengan swallowed everything.
Isshiki’s entire palace, along with hundreds of square kilometers around it, was shattered by the blast.
The immense energy shockwave made the dimension tremble and groan, showing Isshiki’s dimension was far less stable than Kaguya’s.
At the same time...
Six Paths Naruto didn’t wait for the explosion to end. He activated Asura Kurama Mode, his nine massive tails sweeping downward.
They cleared the blast’s remnants to the ground, revealing Isshiki’s broken form.
Already near death from the Expanded Truth-Seeking Ball’s explosion, barely regenerated, he was gravely wounded again by Naruto’s Rasengan.
The blast tore Isshiki’s skin and flesh, its heat melted his body, leaving a gaping hole in his chest. Jagged, broken ribs protruded like snapped violin strings, draped with dark red charred flesh and gray-black bone fragments. Severed blood vessels hung like dried vines, oozing thick dark red fluid.
The intense physical pain and mental pressure stripped Isshiki of most of his ability to think.
He now only wanted to instinctively flee from Naruto!
Away from this monster!
He lacked the courage to fight Naruto to the death. This man didn’t even care about his own son—who’d dare face such a freak?
Moreover, even a desperate fight wouldn’t win!
Isshiki dragged his mangled body, frantically flying downward.
His space-time ability was restricted by the opponent’s Rinnegan. No matter how fast he flew, he couldn’t outrun the Rasengan’s far-superior range. His only escape was to dive into the ground below.
He could use the earth to block sight and absorb some damage, then find a chance to open a portal and flee!
This was the only way out Isshiki could conceive...
Sadly, Naruto wouldn’t let Isshiki escape.
Flee?
Where could he flee?
How far could he get?
Six Paths Naruto didn’t need hand seals, instantly creating dozens of Shadow Clones.
One clone spotted Isshiki in the distance, activating Six Tomoe Rinnegan’s Amenotejikara!
Isshiki, fleeing downward, was forcibly swapped.
In a blink, he appeared beside Naruto’s real body.
Before he could react, Naruto’s fist, wrapped in a Truth-Seeking Ball, struck Isshiki!
Sasuke wouldn’t dare use Amenotejikara to swap Isshiki near his body, lacking close-range physical prowess.
But Six Paths Naruto had no such weakness.
He forcibly pulled Isshiki from afar to his side, the latter utterly unable to resist!
*BOOM!*
Naruto shattered Isshiki’s entire chest with one punch, reducing flesh and ribs to dust with the Truth-Seeking Ball.
Isshiki was terrified, the imminent threat of death nearly making his soul flee.
Desperately activating his dōjutsu, he used Sukunahikona to expand a wall of black rods, separating Six Paths Naruto before him. Dragging his hollowed body, he fled backward.
Naruto kicked the black rod wall to pieces but didn’t pursue.
Another clone beside him activated Amenotejikara again!
*SHUA!*
The familiar scene repeated. Isshiki, barely escaping, was swapped with Naruto’s clone, returning before Naruto’s real body.
"You—!"
Isshiki’s eyes held only fear.
Too terrifying!
Too cunning!
Rinnegan clone Amenotejikara swapping, real body close-range Truth-Seeking Ball instant kill.
Unblockable, utterly unblockable!
Not even the gravely injured Isshiki now—even a fully revived, peak Isshiki facing this monstrous combination of stats and unbreakable mechanics had no resistance.
*BOOM!*
Another brutal punch—Isshiki couldn’t dodge.
This time, his entire lower body was obliterated by Naruto’s force and Truth-Seeking Ball, vanishing completely.
Bone-piercing pain contorted Isshiki’s face, his eyes bulging, unable to suppress an agonized roar.
But this wasn’t enough!
*SWISH!* *SWISH!* *SWISH!*
Six Truth-Seeking Balls morphed, forming a cage, trapping Naruto and Isshiki inside, completely cutting off Isshiki’s escape.
Unless he could defeat Naruto first within the cage!
Seeing this, Isshiki grew more terrified, trying to activate his dōjutsu for a desperate fight.
*PU-CHI!*
A black rod pierced Isshiki’s head, swiftly locking his eye power, disrupting his dōjutsu.
*PU-CHI!* *PU-CHI!* *PU-CHI!*
Then the second, third, fourth black rods followed.
They pierced his neck, shoulders, arms, and remaining body... pinning him firmly in place!
Isshiki still struggled to escape, but with his chakra locked, his strength plummeted, no longer enough to break free from the black rods or escape the Truth-Seeking Ball cage.
He couldn’t fight, couldn’t flee.
Deep despair filled Isshiki’s eyes.
This was truly hopeless!
"Uzumaki Naruto, wait! We can still talk, I can—"
Facing death head-on, Isshiki’s elegance and arrogance shattered. He began pleading with Naruto.
Hoping to grasp a sliver of survival through begging and negotiation.
He’d heard the Seventh Hokage was the kindest person in the ninja world.
Sadly, Isshiki didn’t know his repeated killings had pushed the Naruto before him fully into an abyss of evil. He’d directly created the demon before him!
The brutal Six Paths Naruto didn’t answer Isshiki, responding only with actions.
*SKREETTT!*
Naruto tore off Isshiki’s lower jaw with bare hands, the severed, fibrous flesh grotesque like thick black cheese.
"***—!"
Isshiki’s eyes filled with horror, his mouth frothing blood, screaming incoherently, his words unintelligible.
Thanks to the growing Ten-Tails’ potent regeneration, Isshiki’s lower jaw and body swiftly regrew.
In seconds, he nearly fully recovered.
This super regeneration and self-healing seemed to give Isshiki slight courage, making him speak arrogantly again:
"Uzumaki Naruto, stop!"
"If you stop, I can hand the entire ninja world to you!"
"Let you be king of the world, ruling this planet—"
*BAM!*
Isshiki’s words were cut off. Six Paths Naruto punched again, shattering Isshiki’s body and lower half. Heart-piercing pain made Isshiki wail.
"Aaaaaah—!"
"Enough! Stop it!"
"We can talk, I can give you anything you want!"
Isshiki wailed in agony, desperately pleading.
He’d give anything if Uzumaki Naruto spared his life.
Sadly, he couldn’t revive Sasuke or the ninjas he’d killed.
To the current Naruto, Isshiki’s promises and pleas were meaningless, like farts.
*BANG!*
Isshiki’s newly healed body was shattered again by Naruto, thick blood mist filling the space with a heavy metallic stench.
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
But Naruto didn’t care, repeatedly destroying Isshiki’s body.
His cold eyes showed no fluctuation, only growing brutality in their depths, like a cold machine.
"Stop! Don’t waste your energy, you can’t kill me! I can’t die!"
Isshiki mocked through chattering teeth, and Naruto finally replied:
"How many times can you regenerate?"
"You—!"
Isshiki’s eyes widened, terrified.
He realized his opponent caged him not to negotiate but to torture him to death bit by bit!
Though supported by the Ten-Tails, Isshiki’s regeneration wasn’t infinite.
It weakened with repeated repairs.
When the Ten-Tails’ vitality was exhausted, he’d die, unable to regenerate endlessly!
Six Paths Naruto wanted to torment him to death!
How could a mere death erase the immense pain of losing Sasuke?
Naruto wanted Isshiki, who disregarded life, to feel the extreme pain and fear of a cold, gradual death!
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
*BANG!* *BANG!* *BANG!*
Thus, in extreme fear and cruelty, Isshiki’s body was shattered repeatedly, then regenerated.
Five times...
Ten times...
Twenty times...
Thirty times...
Clearly, Isshiki’s regeneration speed gradually slowed.
From near-instant healing in seconds, it now took over ten minutes to fully recover!
During this torture, Isshiki’s mental state shifted drastically.
From initial rage and threats, to sincere pleading, to pitiful begging, and finally crying and confessing wrongs...
"Uzumaki Naruto, you’ll regret this! The Ōtsutsuki clan won’t spare you!"
...
"Killing me won’t win! The ninja world will surely fall!"
...
"Boruto’s still in my Daikokuten dimension, you can’t kill me!"
...
"Don’t, don’t kill me. I can give you anything, even eternal life!"
...
"No more hitting, please, it hurts! It really hurts!"
...
"I’ll atone, I’ll change, I’ll do anything! Please!"
...
The Ōtsutsuki clan’s arrogance, the elegance of a higher being, the hubris of a self-proclaimed god—all collapsed in over two hours of torture.
Physical pain and mental fear, like demons from the abyss, consumed Isshiki, revealing his ugliness fully.
He deeply regretted accepting this mission, coming to this planet to plant a God Tree, provoking and massacring these ninjas...
Sadly, regret was futile now.
Finally, after Naruto shattered Isshiki’s body one last time, only a wailing, pleading head remained, with blood reproduction at his neck so slow it was barely visible.
Clearly, Isshiki’s life was spent!
Naruto prepared to end it.
Isshiki, realizing something, pleaded while crying:
"I was wrong, truly wrong!"
"Please, spare me! Spare me!"
Naruto gazed coldly, emotionlessly at Isshiki’s remaining head, shaping a Truth-Seeking Ball into a black rod, piercing Isshiki’s head, and finally said:
"You don’t know you’re wrong, you only know you’re dying."
"Compared to Sasuke, you’re utterly worthless!"
"Farewell, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!"
"If you still have a soul, I’ll ask Grandpa Sage to make you suffer hellfire eternally!"
After speaking, Six Paths Naruto’s real body swapped places and vanished with a clone outside the cage.
*PU-CHI!*
The black rod Truth-Seeking Ball in Isshiki’s head exploded violently!
The purest, most terrifying Six Paths chakra blast obliterated everything in the cage—Isshiki’s flesh, even the air—evaporating without a trace!
Six Paths Naruto hovered, silently watching.
His eyes held no satisfaction from revenge, only deepening brutality and hatred.
Killing an ordinary Ōtsutsuki, even ten, a hundred, a thousand...
Couldn’t erase the immense pain of losing Sasuke!
Moments later, after the blast subsided, Naruto reactivated Senrigan, using its world-monitoring perspective to confirm Isshiki had no chance of escape or revival—he was truly, utterly dead!
Then, Naruto recalled the Truth-Seeking Ball cage, forming six black spheres floating behind him.
This battle, annihilating Isshiki, aside from the prolonged torture at the end, cost Naruto little.
Only a few dōjutsu uses and three Truth-Seeking Balls. Thus, his Six Paths chakra remained abundant, still at peak condition.
"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, dead!"
"Next, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, your turn!"
Naruto muttered, the air around him freezing with his killing intent.
Though Kaguya and Black Zetsu didn’t directly kill Sasuke, they were surely indirect causes of his death and Konoha’s destruction.
The brutal Naruto, now losing sanity, wouldn’t care for details.
All enemies must die!
All must be buried with Sasuke!
As for his son Boruto, still in the Daikokuten dimension? Later.
After killing Kaguya and the evil Black Zetsu, then he’d address other matters...
Thus, Naruto reactivated Senrigan, tracking Kaguya and Black Zetsu.
Soon, he located Kaguya’s Primal Dimension.
"I found you!"
Naruto activated his Rinnegan, opened a teleportation gate, and shot toward Kaguya’s dimension like a bloodthirsty avenging demon!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Over two hours earlier, above Konoha’s giant crater, Kaguya and Black Zetsu watched from high above, awaiting Isshiki’s death confirmation.
Then they realized Isshiki, like a tenacious cockroach, wasn’t fully dead!
In a flash, Black Zetsu deduced Isshiki likely consumed the second Ten-Tails meant for planting a God Tree, gaining potent regeneration.
This was blatant betrayal!
Furious Black Zetsu and Kaguya prepared to descend and annihilate Isshiki completely.
But suddenly, they saw a sharp golden flash in the distance, like a dagger piercing the dim world, charging with murderous intent.
Black Zetsu hurriedly urged his mother Kaguya, preparing to let Naruto finish Isshiki!
After all, Sasuke below didn’t seem fully dead either, and he didn’t want his mother facing Naruto and Sasuke together.
This momentary hesitation let Isshiki kill Sasuke and seize Boruto.
Black Zetsu was initially pleased.
The gravely injured Isshiki helped them kill Sasuke. Next, his mother could harvest Isshiki and Naruto.
But then he realized Isshiki fled. Meanwhile, Naruto, left behind, seemed to suffer a massive blow, going mad and transforming drastically.
Black Zetsu wavered, pondering whether to have his mother finish Naruto first or pursue Isshiki.
But soon, Naruto, having grafted the Rinnegan and evolved beyond Six Paths, looked up at Kaguya and Black Zetsu.
At that moment, Black Zetsu didn’t need to urge.
Kaguya instinctively activated Amenominaka, teleporting back to her Primal Dimension.
For the first time, the immortal Kaguya, since eating the God Tree’s fruit, felt a profound death crisis!
