Naruto: I Have a Gravity Training Room-Chapter 429 - 428

All this time, Natsuki had been thinking and experimenting.

He'd been thinking about how to become stronger—strong enough to easily defeat the final boss, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and strong enough to no longer fear the threat of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

So he devoured books and drank in knowledge like a madman, all to broaden his horizons.

And the Senju clan's library had truly benefited him.

He knew very clearly that he only had eighty-percent-pure Senju bloodline. That meant he had more chakra, sure—but there weren't many other advantages. So he had to make sure he had more tools in his arsenal.

Fusing into Carbon Release, Mokuton (Wood Release), and Magnet Release had only been the first step.

If he wanted to become stronger, kekkei genkai wouldn't be enough. He needed kekkei tōta—or even kekkei mōra.

Kekkei mōra was a realm only Six Paths-level beings could reach: a fusion of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements—Katon (Fire Release), Suiton (Water Release), Doton (Earth Release), Fūton (Wind Release), Raiton (Lightning Release), plus In'yōton (Yin-Yang Release)—a bloodline born from total convergence.

And reaching that step was truly difficult.

Neji had forced his way up through Byakugan evolution. Naruto and Sasuke were even more ridiculous—they'd basically won the lottery with a great dad.

Natsuki could only rely on himself.

But he had a cheat.

Besides letting him borrow gravity to temper his body, that cheat also gave him a chance once every month—on the night of the first—to test things without fear of death. Twelve times a year. Thirty-six times in three years.

He wasn't about to waste those opportunities. He kept researching every possible path to greater strength.

After repeated, suicidal experiments, he found a breakthrough.

Earth could grow all things. Water could nourish all things. Lightning could bring rebirth through destruction. And Yang was the power of life.

So in truth, Doton (Earth Release), Suiton (Water Release), Raiton (Lightning Release), and Yōton (Yang Release) all represented the power of "life." If those four natures were fused together, that life force would only become more overwhelming—so overwhelming it might even approach true immortality.

With that hypothesis, he fused the four chakra nature transformations—

And stepped onto an entirely new level.

"Secret Art — Nikuton (Flesh Release)! Open!"

Hummm—!

Natsuki's body began to swell, his muscles bulking up in an instant.

But it wasn't mere muscle inflation. Every single cell began radiating an immense aura of life. In that moment, his very level of existence was forcibly lifted—one step, maybe several.

Next, that life force poured out of his flesh, only to be forcibly compressed into nine crimson spheres—

Red Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Orbs), almost.

His hair also lengthened at that instant, turning bright red, like Kakarot's Super Saiyan 4 form.

And from that moment on, Natsuki had stepped into the Six Paths tier.

The fusion of fire, water, earth, and yang—though still short of full Yin-Yang Five Elements—combined with Natsuki's terrifying physique and the sheer strength of Senju-bloodline Yōton (Yang Release), forcibly shoved him into the Six Paths realm.

In simple terms, it was like his body had become a saint.

And the strength he had now wasn't merely Six Paths-level—

It was far above it.

As for why it was called Nikuton (Flesh Release)… honestly, Natsuki didn't know what else to name this kekkei-style nature.

Ōnoki's kekkei tōta was called Jinton (Dust Release). But Natsuki's—something that made his body erupt with power like a Kaiōken—was just hard to name.

So he'd gone with Nikuton (Flesh Release).

Because his body was absurdly tough now—put simply, he was insanely tanky, with ridiculous "HP," impossible to kill. Calling it Flesh Release wasn't wrong at all.

The three Hokage stared at Natsuki in shock.

In their eyes, he was a different person now. Every cell in his body seemed to radiate infinite power.

And he had stepped into the Six Paths realm—enough that even Kaguya's killing techniques no longer seemed like something he needed to fear.

So Natsuki hadn't been bragging. He really did have the confidence to back it up.

That put them at ease.

Still, the name "Flesh Release" made their mouths twitch. Who named a bloodline like that? Wasn't it just begging to be laughed at?

Minato couldn't help speaking up. "Natsuki, you really are powerful, but… isn't 'Flesh Release' kind of an ugly name? How about I help you come up with something—?"

"You can quit right there." Natsuki rolled his eyes. "Your naming sense is so bad even your wife was speechless. Don't start. I'm going to help out. Later."

With that, he sensed the Flying Raijin markings on Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji—

Then suddenly lifted a hand, tore open space with brute force, and vanished with a sharp shun.

The three Hokage sucked in a breath.

Tearing open space barehanded… this kid was terrifying.

In the other dimension, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki faced off against the three.

This was a world of magma. If you slipped even once, you'd be melted for real—so they had to be careful.

Neji floated directly. Naruto used the Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Orbs) to support both himself and Sasuke. All three stared down Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the air tense enough to burn.

In the next second, Sasuke moved first.

He manifested a giant Susanoo, condensed a bow, and fired an arrow. The instant the arrow reached Kaguya, he used Amenotejikara (Heavenly Hand Power) to swap his own position with the arrow—

Then brought down Susanoo's greatsword in a cleaving strike.

Kaguya didn't panic at all. She simply raised a hand and used Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push), blocking the attack like it was a joke.

With a casual sweep of her arm, Yasogami Kūgeki (Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists) shattered Sasuke's Susanoo from afar, forcing him to retreat.

Then Kaguya suddenly vanished.

Neji immediately warned, "Behind you! She can warp through space!"

Naruto and Sasuke whirled around—

And saw Kaguya emerging from a rip in space, a long gray bone protruding from each palm as she fired them straight at the two of them.

Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu (All-Killing Ash Bones)!

A technique that could petrify and collapse any living being!

Naruto and Sasuke dodged frantically and counterattacked.

Naruto used Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique), sending a dense swarm rushing Kaguya.

Kaguya fired Tomogoroshi no Haikotsu (All-Killing Ash Bones) again and again. Several clones were struck—instantly petrifying, then crumbling into dust.

The sight made all three of them feel their scalps go cold.

If those gray bones landed a direct hit, it would be certain death.

But Kaguya was clearly dissatisfied. The three of them were too agile. Even with the Ash Bones' speed, they kept evading.

So she decisively formed an enormous Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Orb) and hurled it at them.

The three felt the annihilating power contained within it—like it could devour and erase everything. They couldn't help trembling. And because it was so enormous, it was hard to dodge.

Neji inhaled, then spun nine Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Orbs) between his hands, pouring every last ounce of his power into them—ocular power, senjutsu, repulsive force, everything.

Then he thrust both palms out.

"Ginrin Tensei Bakuhatsu (Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion)!"

Boom!

A colossal tornadic storm erupted, slamming into the massive Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Orb).

But the storm's power was still swallowed up. The orb's advance slowed slightly—yet it continued to crush forward, bearing down on them.

Naruto formed another Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Orb) shuriken and threw it.

Sasuke gathered Yin power and the tailed beasts' power together—

And loosed Indra no Ya (Indra's Arrow).
