----------------------
"You Monkeys! You will pay for it with your death!"
Crunch crunch
Urashiki slowly rips apart his eyes and consumes them.
AAH!!
He consumes all of his stored chakra and his eyes to undergo his final transformation.
HAAH!!
Urashiki screams in agony as his chakra rises exponentially.
Shoom Shoom
His body releases a powerful pulse of chakra. The chakra pulse exerts a powerful pressure and raises a storm. The isolation barrier cracks from the pressure, exposing the rest of the group.
Even Izuna and Sasuke are pushed away by the powerful chakra.
-------------
Back in the shelter,
Shiver
A chill runs down the spines of the Konoha shinobis. Even the non-sensor Ninjas can sense Urashiki's terrifying chakra.
"Wha what kind of chakra is this?"
Sakura is scared by the terrifying chakra signature.
Gulp
Choji gulps his saliva and pockets his potato chips.
"I have lost my appetite."
"What kind of monster has appeared here? I can't even sleep peacefully!" Shikamaru opens his eyes groggily. He has a grim expression on his face.
"I have never sensed a chakra like this before." Shino picks up one of his bugs on his finger.
"Even my bugs are scared."
Naruto anxiously stares at the roof.
'Dad and Mom are outside. I hope they are safe. I don't want them to leave me again.'
'Oi brat!' The Yang Kurama beckons Naruto.
Swoosh
Naruto enters his mindscape.
"What's the matter, Kurama?"
"Brat! Stay away from this matter if you want to live. I have never sensed such malice and killing intent from anyone before. This chakra is so sinister that I can even sense the souls of countless living beings screaming in pain."
Kurama warns Naruto.
"But Mom and Dad! They are outside!" Naruto clenches his fist.
"Brat! Your mom and dad are safe! With that Uchiha brat around, nothing will happen to them. You should worry for yourself instead, if you go out now, you will only cause them trouble." Kurama warns him.
"Alright!" Naruto nods his head.
Humph
"Idiot brat!" Kurama snorts and closes his eyes.
Meanwhile, on top of the Hokage Office,
Tsunade senses Urashiki's sinister chakra and a grim expression appears on her face.
"The situation seems to have taken a turn for worse. I have to help them."
"Sakumo!"
Whoosh
Sakumo appears beside her.
"You summoned me, Lady Fifth!"
"Sakumo, guard the formation and help the Anbu members to maintain order. I am about to head to battle."
Whoosh
Tsunade jumps down and flickers towards the battle.
-------------
The group has an ugly expression on their face as they stare at Urashiki's transformation.
Black asymmetrical totems appear on Urashiki's body. The totems spread through his face, legs, and arms. His hairs turn long and his feet and hands turn into claws.
The broken horns on his head transform into flared wings.
Shoom
A vertical tomoe less golden Rinnegan opens on his forehead. Urashiki opens his eyes to reveal his golden Byakugan.
"I am going to beat you all to death!"
He has a savage look on his face.
Gulp
Jiraiya gulps his saliva.
"So, this is his real form? He looks more like a demon than a God!"
"Get ready! He is about to attack!"
Izuna draws his blade and holds it in front of him.
Hahaha
Urashiki laughs manically. He turns towards the now exposed group and dives towards them.
"I will take care of the weakling first!"
Whoosh
He crashes on top of Jiraiya.
BANG
A crater forms on the ground as Jiraiya jumps in the air and avoids his attack.
Shiing
Urashiki's golden Byakugan flashes and he reappears beside Jiraiya.
Stab
He stabs his fishing rod through Jiraiya's chest and rips apart the seal on his body.
Swoosh
He steals Jiraiya's chakra with his fishing rod.
Gulp
Urashiki gulps the chakra and more lines appear on his chest and back.
"After I am done with you all, I will take my time savouring Kyubi's chakra."
Cough cough
Jiraiya coughs a mouthful of blood.
Whoosh
Tsunade appears besides Jiraiya. She uses the Mystic Palm Technique to heal his wounds.
"Looks like I made it on time."
She raises her head and notices Urashiki.
'So that's the otherworldly being! He looks like a crane!'
"No matter how many of you monkeys arrive, it won't change a thing."
Whoosh
He dives towards Tsunade.
Whoosh
Sasuke appears in front of Urashiki and blocks his talon with his sword.
Haah
Urashiki savagely swipes his claws at Sasuke in an attempt to tear him apart.
Clang clang
Sasuke blocks his attack but is pushed back by Urashiki's momentum.
'After using this form, he has turned into a brute. His physical parameters have exceeded greatly. Even my Sharingan can barely keep up with his movements.'
Izuna seeks an opening to attack Urashiki.
Swoosh
Sasuke infuses a kunai with lightning and throws it towards Urashiki.
Fwoosh
Urashiki tilts his head and dodges the kunai.
Spurt
Blood spurts from Urashiki's face as the invisible lightning blade pierces his skin.
"Damn you!"
Urashiki grabs Sasuke's blade in anger and kicks him.
Sasuke crosses his arms to block the kick.
BANG
He is sent flying by the kick and slams into the ground, forming a web of cracks.
Bleurgh
Sasuke pukes out a mouthful of blood and there is a gash on his left arm.
Whoosh
Using this opportunity, Izuna teleports behind Urashiki.
Swish
He swings his blade in an attempt to cleave Urashiki in half.
"I haven't forgotten about you." Urashiki turns around.
Clank
He blocks the attack with his claw.
Swoosh
Urashiki performs a roundhouse kick and kicks Izuna. Izuna blocks the attack with his arm.
Bang Crack
Izuna is sent flying in the air as the bones in his arm crack.
'His attacks are heavy. I can't engage him in a direct confrontation.'
Sizzle sizzle
Smoke rises from Izuna's arm as it heals rapidly.
"You persistent monkey! I will kill you first!"
Urashiki reappears on top of Izuna and swipes his claws incessantly in a frenzy.
'His transformation has affected his mental state. He has let go of any strategy or tactics and is solely reliant on brute force. He is easily irritable now.
Also, he has completely given on defense at this point and has gone on total offense. It seems more like a last-ditch effort. Maybe there are some limitations to this transformation.'
Izuna constantly blocks Urashiki's frenzied attack.
Haah
"Amenosubaruboshinomikoto: Gyokk"
Urashiki conjures a dense purple orb in his palm and aims it at Izuna.
"I can't hold back any longer or else I might suffer some serious injuries."
Fwoosh
A cyan cloak appears around Izuna as he enters his Sage Mode. He overlaps his Sage mode with his Asura cloak.
Swoosh
Izuna summons one of his Shinra Bansho orbs in his palm. He infuses it with Nature energy and throws it towards Urashiki to counter his attack.
BOOM
Both jutsu collides with each other.
SHOOM
A deafening silence enshrouds them as the jutsu clashes with each other. The collision of jutsu creates a void in space as it sucks everything inside it, not even sound is able to escape from it.
Dark Purple and black lightning flicker around the void as the space turns unstable.
Pop
The void collapses on itself and vanishes in a display of bright colors.
BANG BANG
Both Izuna and Urashiki are sent flying by the resultant explosion.
Izuna slams through multiple mountains, blowing them in the process. Dust and debris rise as the hill collapses on him.
BANG
Urashiki slams into the ground, creating a giant crater.
"IZUNA!"
Tsunade anxiously stares at the faraway hill.
Haha
Urashiki smirks as his body fades into nothingness.
Huh
Tsunade has a bad premonition as her senses warn her of danger.
She clutches her fist tightly.
Bang
Tsunade punches the ground and lifts a giant piece of earth.
Whoosh
Urashiki appears beside her and attacks her with his fishing rod.
Orya!!
She throws the giant piece of earth towards him.
Slash
Urashiki swings his fishing rod and shatters the piece of earth.
BOOM BOOM
Tsunade throws multiple smoke bombs around Urashiki and flickers towards Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya! Are you alright?"
"I am alright! This is nothing but a flesh wound."
"Good! Keep him busy while I treat the rest."
She flickers towards Sasuke.
Jiraiya jumps up. He wipes the blood from his chest into his eyes and claps his hand.
"All these years, you aren't the only ones who have improved. I have some tricks in my hands too."
A large amount of Nature energy gathers around Jiraiya as his features turn frog-like.
He makes some hand sign and slams his palm on the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu"
Poof
A giant crimson toad appears in a puff of white smoke.
"Bunta! Just buy me some time." Jiraiya hurriedly relays his order.
"Alright!" Seeing the severity of the situation, Gamabunta agrees without any hassle.
Jiraiya jumps on top of Gamabunta with his hand clasped.
Gamabunta opens his mouth.
"Toad Oil bullet"
He fires a giant barrage of sticky oil at Urashiki.
"Fire Release: Toad-Oil Flame bullet"
Jiraiya fires a giant fireball to ignite the oil.
Sizzle sizzle
A flaming ring surrounds Urashiki, restricting his movements.
Swirl
Urashiki opens his mouth and sucks the flames, extinguishing them.
"What?!" Gamabunta's eyes widen in surprise.
"Ninjutsu won't work against him," Jiraiya warns him.
Swish
Gamabunta draws his katana and attacks Urashiki.
