Naruto: I have Ten Skill Bars

Chapter 478 - 477: Shigure vs Shinji (2)

In an instant, green chakra fluctuations erupted outward.

Terrifying ripples spread rapidly in all directions, distorting the air itself.

At that moment, Shigure's fist suddenly halted mid-strike.

His chakra collided directly with Shinji's Rinnegan power.

The next second, a violent storm exploded outward.

Within a hundred meters, every building was instantly wiped away, reduced to nothing. Only the Mizukage Building behind Shigure remained standing, as if protected by an invisible force.

The raging wind howled across the battlefield, whipping Hinata's hair into chaos.

Shigure stood there with a faint smile, staring at Shinji.

Strong.

He had not expected Shinji to block that attack.

The Six Paths chakra contained within Shinji's body was far more powerful than anticipated.

Boom!

Violent fluctuations erupted again. Shigure's fist had not even touched Shinji, yet crimson light burst continuously between them.

Black-red lightning crackled wildly.

A deafening roar echoed throughout Kirigakure.

Everyone felt an overwhelming pressure descend, crushing down on them like a mountain.

Even Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju stopped fighting, both turning toward the Mizukage Building.

Shock filled their eyes.

"What terrifying power…" Madara muttered.

Hashirama nodded. "Indeed. I didn't expect these two to reach such a level."

"Just sensing this chakra makes my heart tremble. It's impossible to stay calm."

Madara glanced at him. "Are you afraid?"

Hashirama smiled lightly. "Of course. Aren't you? That power is far beyond even you right now."

Madara scoffed. "Hmph. Even if I don't possess it now… I'm not inferior to them."

Hashirama chuckled. "Still the same. Confident… even arrogant."

Boom!!

Suddenly, a blinding shockwave shot toward the distant sea.

In the next instant, the ocean exploded.

Massive waves surged upward, dozens of meters high, crashing back toward the port.

Everyone froze in shock.

That attack had detonated thousands of meters away, yet still created such monstrous waves.

Just how terrifying had that moment of impact been?

A chill ran through the crowd.

If that strike had landed among them… countless people would have died.

Then, suddenly, the strange spatial domain expanded again.

This time, it engulfed the entirety of Kirigakure. Even part of the surrounding ocean was drawn into its range.

The next moment, within the domain, the sea began to churn violently.

The water spiraled upward, converging toward Shigure.

Raising his hands, he gathered the ocean itself into a colossal water dragon.

With a downward motion, he unleashed it.

The massive Water Dragon surged from the sky, opening its jaws as it tore toward Shinji.

Countless shinobi stared in disbelief.

To manipulate such a vast volume of seawater instantly…

What kind of power was this?

But Shinji remained calm.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

The Truth-Seeking Orbs spun at high speed, generating a violent storm that instantly shredded the incoming Water Dragon.

In the next second, Shigure struck again.

This time, his fist carried overwhelming force, layered with immense chakra pressure.

A punch through the air slammed toward Shinji's chest.

But Shinji unleashed a powerful repulsive force.

Boom!

Shigure's attack was blocked.

The Truth-Seeking Orbs reappeared, shooting toward him like missiles.

Empowered by Rinnegan chakra and infused with Six Paths power, they were extremely dangerous.

Even Shigure had to reinforce his arms with chakra to withstand them.

With a series of rapid punches, he blasted the orbs away.

Buzz—!!

Suddenly, a powerful gravitational force descended.

The ground beneath them tore apart as massive chunks of rock were ripped free.

They rose into the air, then hurtled toward Shigure like meteors.

Shigure narrowed his eyes, locking onto Shinji's position.

Transfer!

In an instant, the massive rock fragments rushing toward Shigure vanished without a trace.

Shigure raised his hand and flashed forward, his figure appearing in front of Shinji in the blink of an eye.

A strike at near light speed.

Even Shinji had no time to react.

Shigure drew his ninja blade in one smooth motion.

Chakra surged and condensed instantly…

"Crescent Sky Slash!"

Rumble—!!

A vast black arc erupted, spreading like a giant hand that covered the sky itself.

The roar that followed seemed capable of tearing the heavens apart.

The attack landed directly on Shinji.

Blinding light exploded in the air as the clash shook everything around them.

And then, at the very moment all eyes were fixed on the sky, a golden light burst forth.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

The immense Six Paths power condensed into a golden beam, slicing forward like a divine blade.

It tore straight through Shigure's Crescent Sky Slash and continued toward him without slowing.

Shigure narrowed his eyes slightly.

As expected, Shinji's Rinnegan was incredibly powerful.

To break his attack so easily… that alone proved his strength.

Watching the golden beam approach, Shigure made no move to evade.

In the past, he might have dodged.

But not today.

He gripped his ninja blade tightly.

Chakra surged wildly, gathering along the blade. At the same time, the power of the Six-Tails within him erupted, merging with his chakra and pouring into the weapon.

All of his strength—focused into a single strike.

Crack…

A faint sound echoed.

The blade could not withstand the overwhelming power.

It began to fracture.

But the attack had already been unleashed.

Shigure swung.

His slash collided head-on with Shinji's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

Boom—!!!

A terrifying shockwave erupted instantly, spreading in all directions.

The entire sky above Kirigakure trembled violently.

The heavens churned, and both Shigure and Shinji were swallowed by a blinding white light.

After a long moment, the roar finally subsided.

The sky gradually returned to calm.

By then, the two had already ascended to an even higher altitude.

Floating in midair, Shinji stared at Shigure in shock.

"I didn't expect… you could actually block the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion."

That was the strongest technique of the Rinnegan.

His ultimate attack.

Yet Shigure had survived it.

For a moment, even Shinji found it hard to believe.

Meanwhile, Shigure lowered his hand slightly.

The black blade he held began to disintegrate, breaking apart piece by piece until even the hilt turned to dust and scattered into the wind.

Shigure looked at his now empty hand, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

This was the ninja blade Gekkō Hayate had given him.

It had accompanied him for so long.

And in the end… it couldn't withstand that power.
