Naruto : The ultimate Troublemaker

Chapter 181: Hakke Yami no Ken: Demon Fists



The ground shook as nine silhouettes emerged around him, each as imposing as the original. These clones were not mere copies. Not only did they possess equal power to Shikai, but each was imbued with the chakra of a Bijū, ready to unleash its colossal strength.

The first to advance was the one imbued with Shukaku's chakra. Its arms rose, and a sandstorm erupted, covering the terrain and momentarily obstructing Kaguya's vision. Gigantic projectiles of hardened sand were launched towards her, but Kaguya's multiple arms stopped them with terrifying precision, reducing them to dust.

The clone of Matatabi, enveloped in blue flames, followed immediately, spewing a wave of fire so intense that it burned the entire battlefield. The flames licked at Kaguya's arms, causing them to sizzle, but she retaliated with a devastating shockwave, dispersing the flames and pushing Matatabi back.

Isobu used its shell to create a protective barrier, blocking the asteroid fragments that Kaguya was sending from the sky. The clone associated with it launched sharp water projectiles, slicing through Kaguya's arms, which regenerated almost instantaneously.

Meanwhile, the clone of Son Gokū released a torrent of lava, fusing the raw energy of its Bijū with Mokuton to create pillars of magma that erupted from the ground, attacking Kaguya from unexpected angles. The goddess rabbit's arms were temporarily immobilized, but she broke free with a fierce roar, pulverizing the pillars.

Kokuō, on the other hand, used its brute strength and control over boiling steam to increase the pressure on Kaguya's massive body. Its clone charged, striking with a steam wave so intense that it made the ground bend beneath their feet. But she managed to absorb most of the attacks.

In the air, Chōmei spread its wings to fly above the chaos. Its clone released bursts of luminous powder, creating a blinding screen to disrupt Kaguya's attacks. The goddess rabbit attempted to strike Chōmei with her arms, but the clone deftly evaded, harassing Kaguya with explosive projectiles.

On the ground, the clone of Saiken, enveloped in acidic mucus, slithered between Kaguya's arms, dissolving everything it touched. Each contact with the acid caused a slower regeneration of Kaguya's arms, forcing her to divert some of her chakra to counter this threat.

Massive tentacles emerged to grab and break Kaguya's arms in a series of synchronized attacks. The tentacles created an opening for a concentrated Bijūdama from Kurama's clone, aiming directly at Kaguya's torso. The resulting explosion was titanic, creating a shockwave so powerful that it made distant mountains tremble.

However, Kaguya was not easily cornered. Her multiple arms multiplied further, forming a forest of giant limbs that descended upon the clones and Shikai himself. Despite their power, several clones were pulverized, their bodies dissolving into pieces of wood.

Chōmei's clone lost its head with a sharp blow, torn off by an arm that had circumvented its defenses. A rain of asteroids continued to fall, breaking Isobu's defenses and dispersing Shukaku's protections.

Kaguya roared, and a massive shockwave swept across the battlefield, sending Shikai's clones reeling backward.

Her claws sliced through the flames, water, and even the barriers. She managed to tear off Chōmei's clone's head, which collapsed in an energy burst.

"One less nuisance," she murmured.

But at that moment, a massive, sinister black hand emerged from the ground. The darkness seemed to wrap around her neck, its claws penetrating her flesh.

"What?!" Kaguya screamed as her body was violently lifted off the ground.

Hundreds of black hands burst forth from the earth, each adorned with a reddish glow. These hands did not merely hold Kaguya, they emitted a terrifying energy, akin to compressed Bijūdama.

With each strike of a hand against the gigantic rabbit's body, Kaguya's flesh flew apart, regenerating immediately only to be torn away again.

"Stop this!" Kaguya roared, summoning energy arms to defend herself. But these arms were shattered by the brute force of the darkness.

At the center of this devastation, Shikai stood motionless, his eyes closed, his hands joined. His chakra was dense, almost suffocating, and his voice echoed in the air with a sinister tone.

*Hakke Yami no Ken: Demon Fists.*

A surge of energy shook the battlefield as the black hands continued their assault. Each palm released an explosion equivalent to that of a Bijūdama, striking Kaguya's tenketsu, disrupting her chakra, and weakening her defenses.

"This power..." Kaguya murmured, her eyes wide. "How...?"

She attempted to flee, opening a dimensional portal to escape. But golden chains emerged, grabbing her and pulling her violently backward.

"You're not going anywhere," Shikai declared, his voice icy.

The chains tightened their grip, immobilizing Kaguya. Her body, now covered in wounds, trembled under the pressure. Shikai suddenly opened his mouth, much larger than a normal human's.

A red light began to form, condensing destructive energy.

"This is impossible..." Kaguya whispered, terrified for the first time.

The red beam erupted, cutting through the battlefield like a laser, striking Kaguya head-on. The ensuing explosion illuminated the sky, reducing the surrounding terrain to dust.

Kaguya, her body charred, fell slowly from the sky.

Shikai leaped to intercept her before she hit the ground. His body, exhausted, showed red cracks, a sign of the immense pressure his powers had exerted on him.

*Inyoton: Return to Origin.*

A gentle light enveloped Kaguya as her body gradually returned to its normal form. Her once chaotic chakra calmed.

Shikai, breathless, landed heavily on the ground, still holding Kaguya in his arms.

"It's over," he murmured, before collapsing, his cracked black skin glowing faintly under the fading light.
