Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#403 - Decisive Moment

"That's it?"

"Only a measly ~three lightning tribulations, that's all..."

"Is this looking down, um, on me?"

Looking at the dissipating tribulation clouds above, Liang Yue, who was lying in a pit over ten meters deep and still occasionally twitching, felt a sense of surprise.

His mouth opened slightly, and a wisp of green smoke mixed with a burnt smell floated out. Electric arcs crackled all over his body, and even with the lightning-fire-wood innate intent fully activated, he couldn't control it for a while.

Clearly, although the number of lightning tribulations wasn't high this time, the final strike had once again exceeded Liang Yue's original estimate.

However, the lightning power within the heavenly tribulation was a rare and precious thing, so naturally, it couldn't be wasted.

Thus, Liang Yue couldn't care less at this moment and forcibly activated the remaining power of lightning-fire-wood, compressing the scattered lightning tribulations into his body.

As a result, in an instant, Liang Yue's dantian, meridians, flesh, skin, and bones were filled with crackling electric arcs.

The remaining power of the lightning tribulation was truly shocking, with hints of crimson mixed in the deep blue color~

Even with Liang Yue's self-proclaimed indestructible body, it was difficult to withstand, causing him to feel unbearably itchy and numb, twitching incessantly.

Strands of burnt smoke continuously drifted out from his body.

A full five or six minutes passed~

By the time Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, and the others who had been anxiously waiting in the distance arrived and then left one after another due to the situation on the field, the power had gradually dissipated.

He barely managed to control all the lightning tribulation power within his dantian.

Looking at the lightning-fire sapling within his dantian, which had formed its own system, the almost perfect and harmonious conversion system had now disappeared, and the balance between lightning and fire was broken.

The dazzling electric arcs completely suppressed the flames, which were squeezed into the corners, suffering from exclusion. Lightning spread throughout the sapling.

It seemed that if Liang Yue hadn't cultivated his lightning-fire-wood innate intent to a certain level, and if his dantian wasn't filled with wood-attribute spiritual power cultivated through the "Evergreen Skill," these lightning powers would have likely caused him great trouble.

Even so, Liang Yue still needed to expend a great deal of energy to suppress these lightning tribulation powers, waiting for a later time to slowly refine and tame them.

Therefore, the current situation was that Liang Yue was temporarily unable to use the spiritual power in his body to do anything else~

……

"How are you, Chunqiu? Are you alright?"

Seeing Liang Yue reopen his eyes, Hinata, who had been guarding him, immediately asked with a face full of concern.

"Yeah~ Not a big problem~"

Feeling the still-uncontrollable itching sensation in his body, Liang Yue twitched his lips, gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, then sat up and smiled at Hinata.

At this moment, compared to this pit, the situation outside seemed to have fallen into crisis again.

Through the observation of his divine sense, Liang Yue discovered.

Without the intimidation of the Ten-Tails, Madara, who had been hiding on the sidelines, undoubtedly became the main target of the Allied Forces.

In addition, Little Diamond had previously restrained him single-handedly, so the Allied Forces and the Kage, thinking they had the advantage in numbers, believed they could quickly eliminate Madara under heavy pressure.

As a result, Madara quickly gave the Allied Forces a solid lesson with his actions.

At this time, Madara had gathered the bloodline power of the two descendants of the Sage of Six Paths through his own layout and methods. In his prime, even Hashirama was no match for him.

A series of Susanoo fancy slashes instantly cleared a large number of miscellaneous soldiers, and two meteorites smashed down, scaring the Allied Forces out of their wits.

In this situation, Obito, who had been hiding in the Kamui space, finally completed his goal and completely removed the seal engraved on his heart.

Wearing two Rinnegan, he returned to everyone's presence.

As a result, for a time, the massive ninja Allied Forces, plus the Five Kage, plus the Fourth Hokage, were only able to fight these two to a draw.

Even Naruto, Sasuke, and the others who had been guarding Liang Yue were back on the field, engaging in a rotation battle with the two Uchiha.

Currently, the battle situation is still in a stalemate...

However, Liang Yue also knew that, according to the development of the plot, even without him, the Allied Forces would eventually win.

There was no doubt about this.

The opportunity for reversal lay only in when the Sage of Six Paths would come out from the shadows to pass on his power~

Therefore, the problem Liang Yue should be thinking about now was still his own system mission.

"In short~ The Ten-Tails has been temporarily suppressed and shouldn't reappear in a short time, so Neji and the others should no longer be in danger of losing their lives."

"Black Zetsu has now been sealed by me in the black ball. In theory, Kaguya Otsutsuki should no longer have a chance to appear. Later, I only need to destroy Black Zetsu to eliminate the hidden danger."

"So the current threats are only Madara and Obito, and also Isshiki's reincarnation body, and the subsequent Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and others. This isn't urgent for now."

……

With Hinata's support, Liang Yue slowly stood up, clenched his fist, and slightly moved his still-uncomfortable body.

Then, he hugged the little girl next to him and jumped out of the pit in front of him.

As far as the eye could see, most of the ninjas had already retreated from the battle zone. The First and Second Hokage, plus Little Diamond, were currently fighting Madara together, and the battle was fierce.

But the gap between them wasn't large, and it was temporarily impossible to determine a winner.

Obito on the other side seemed more troublesome~

After wearing a pair of Rinnegan, Obito's strength soared.

Even with the Five Kage, the Third and Fourth Hokage, and a group of elite experts from the Allied Forces, it seemed a bit stretched.

The key was that, after indirectly becoming a Six Paths-level powerhouse, Obito's current chakra had an almost dominant influence on the lower-level energy within the system.

In addition to being able to freely absorb ninjutsu and restore it to chakra, and his physical strength greatly increased, even if he was hit off guard, ordinary ninjutsu wouldn't be able to cause him any harm.

Fortunately, Obito was still unable to freely control the power brought by the Rinnegan. Under the interference of various discomforts, the Allied Forces' losses weren't too great.

Moreover, since there were now several Innate-level experts in the Konoha system, that is, those who could use Sage Art, the Allied Forces seemed to have gradually mastered a way to deal with Obito.

"Chunqiu, you're here! Are you alright?"

Bringing Hinata to the team confronting Obito, the sharp-eyed Second Pillar almost immediately spotted the two.

"I'm fine, but I can't use too much chakra for now."

Liang Yue didn't speak too definitively about the fact that the energy in his dantian couldn't be mobilized, after all, he had more than just spiritual power in his body.

In his Upper Dantian, that is, the magic heart at his brow, there was a hidden sea of magic!
