Naruto: The Otsutsuki Naruto

Thunderclap Golden Mode!

This mode retained the distinct features of the Nine-Tails' golden chakra cloak, such as the stripes running down the sleeves and the magatama patterns around the collar. However, the usual golden hue of the beast chakra cloak had transformed into a dazzling purple-gold, electrified with crackling arcs of lightning. The once flame-like flickering of the golden chakra was now replaced by explosive, pulsating electric surges.

Naruto's hair, too, had been dyed in the same purple-gold hue, spiked upward like sharp quills, each strand distinct and defined.

But most importantly, the sheer intensity of the chakra was overwhelming—so much so that even from a distance, Kabuto felt his heart pound uncontrollably in terror.

Swish!

Kabuto hastily retreated to what he deemed a safe distance, leaving the battlefield to the two monstrous combatants. The sight of Edo Tensei Might Guy, cloaked in the blood-red steam of the Eighth Gate, steadied his wavering confidence.

Adjusting his glasses, Kabuto spoke with a calm demeanor: "I see. So this is your trump card—a new mode combining the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak with Lightning Release chakra mode. But even so, Might Guy's Eight Gates Formation is still superior!"

Boom!!!

Might Guy surged forward like a crimson comet.

Naruto's pupils contracted. "So fast! But when it comes to speed, this new mode of mine is second to none!"

Crackle!

With a flash of lightning, Naruto vanished, reappearing a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Kabuto narrowed his eyes. "Oh? A fusion of two speed-focused modes... Your teleportation technique has reached godlike levels. However, not all attacks can be evaded by speed alone!"

Swish! Might Guy leaped high into the air, his fist charged with devastating power, trailing the streak of lightning that was Naruto. He punched the air with immense force.

Evening Elephant: First Step!

Boom!!!

The resulting air cannon, shaped like a massive elephant's foot, came crashing down diagonally!

Thud!

In an instant, Naruto found himself caught in the turbulent air currents, his body stubbornly hovering mid-air against the overwhelming pressure.

"Ugh... What incredible suppression!" Naruto gritted his teeth.

Boom!!!

A few seconds later, Naruto could no longer hold his position and was swept away by the storm, crashing heavily into the ground.

Feeling as though his body was falling apart, Naruto muttered, "If I were still using the Purple Lightning Chakra Mode, this attack would have shattered me into pieces. Thankfully, with this Thunderclap Golden Mode, I only broke two or three ribs. Truly, the Evening Elephant lives up to its reputation."

Standing up, he gazed at the sky above, his expression deep. "But the Evening Elephant... its strength is comparable to Kaguya's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. And the strongest enemy we've ever faced, Isshiki, when he got serious with taijutsu, his power was probably on par with Night Guy."

Swish!!

Might Guy appeared above the crater where Naruto had fallen, his fists once again charged with energy.

Evening Elephant: Second Step!

The second elephant's foot came crashing down, but this time, Naruto chose not to endure it head-on.

The lightning surrounding Naruto's body suddenly expanded, taking the form of a massive lightning beast!

Crouching low, Naruto planted his limbs firmly on the ground before springing upward with explosive force.

Thunderclap: Lightning Beast Sky Charge!!

Boom!!

The lightning beast collided head-on with the elephant's foot. The resulting shockwave spread horizontally across the crater, leveling the terrain for hundreds of meters.

"!?" Kabuto, witnessing the transformed battlefield, was both shocked and horrified. He quickly retreated further.

"What kind of monster is this? It actually withstood that attack head-on!?"

Boom!!

As the collision subsided, Naruto's lightning beast dissipated under the strain of the Evening Elephant. Cloaked in lightning, Naruto landed back in the crater and immediately leapt into the sky.

His expression remained grave. "The Evening Elephant is a multi-stage, escalating attack. More than the air cannons, the real danger is avoiding the fists that generate them!"

Crackle! Zap! Crackle!

Might Guy stepped on the air itself, chasing after Naruto, while Naruto used the gravitational manipulation of his Rinnegan's Deva Path to rapidly retreat.

Guy charged his arm once more, aiming a devastating punch at Naruto's retreating figure.

Evening Elephant: Third Step!

"The third one is coming. Forgive me, but I'll have to play a little dirty this time!"

Swish!

A lightning arm extended from Naruto's electrified cloak, clutching the Uchiha fan. It bypassed the range of the Evening Elephant's air cannon, extending toward Guy's back.

At the same time, Naruto crossed his arms to block, relying on the protection of his lightning cloak to endure the third air cannon.

Crack! Crack!

The sound of bones fracturing echoed.

Enduring the pain, Naruto used the chakra arm to maneuver the fan behind Guy.

Flying Thunder God!

Whoosh!

Naruto teleported to the sky behind Guy.

Being on the defensive wasn't an option—Naruto needed to counterattack!

But Guy seemed to have anticipated Naruto's move. He turned mid-air, delivering a punch straight at Naruto.

Evening Elephant: Fourth Step!

"Damn!" Naruto hastily raised his hand.

Super Shinra Tensei!!!

Boom!!!

The immense repulsive force clashed evenly with the Evening Elephant, neutralizing both.

However, the exhaustion of the Deva Path's power left Naruto unable to maintain his position in the air, and he began to fall toward the ground.

Kabuto, observing from a distance, grew ecstatic. "This is it! Now's the chance! He can't evade in mid-air. Use your fists to attack him directly—that'll leave him no choice but to retreat to Amegakure with Flying Thunder God!"

Crackle! Zap!

Might Guy stepped through the air, closing in with overwhelming force. His fist, charged to the limit, aimed directly at Naruto's face.

Swish!!

At the last moment, Naruto raised the Uchiha fan above his head, bracing it with his hand.

Evening Elephant: Fifth Step!

Thud!!

The punch struck the fan directly.

Naruto grimaced. "It's beyond the fan's limit to rebound this one, huh?"

Crack!!

The fan shattered into pieces!

But Naruto's expression hardened with resolve. Clenching his left fist, the lightning surrounding it condensed into a purple-gold ring that coiled around his wrist.

Thunderclap: Thunderstorm Coil [Fist]!!

Boom!!!!!!

Fist met fist in a direct clash!

At point-blank range, the Evening Elephant's air cannon erupted, crushing against Naruto's body. Crack! Crack! Bones fractured under the immense pressure. But as the lightning ring on Naruto's wrist shattered, wave after wave of thunderous energy erupted, gradually offsetting the air cannon's force.

In the end, Naruto was still overpowered.

Boom!! He was sent flying backward!

Crack! Crack! But in that instant, golden chains shot out from Naruto's back, binding Might Guy tightly.

"Now!!"

Human Path: Soul Dragging Chains!!

The chains pulled, and part of Guy's soul was forcibly extracted from his Edo Tensei body!

Whoosh! But at that moment, a white dragon claw gripping a dark pearl came roaring toward Naruto!

It was Kabuto, risking everything for a surprise attack.

"That's my ultimate trump card—how could I let you win so easily!?"

Sage Art: White Extreme Attack!

Boom!

The explosion of light and sound engulfed Naruto!

"Ugh!" Affected by the technique, Naruto's golden chains were broken as Might Guy used brute strength to free himself.

However, Naruto quickly recovered by using Lightning Release to stimulate his reflexes.

Kabuto, losing patience, sneered: "What a nuisance! The blood is almost depleted—end this now with that move!!"

Might Guy crouched low, the blood-red steam around him erupting in full force.

Naruto remained composed. "That stance… It's Night Guy. That's one attack I absolutely can't take head-on. But Kabuto, your mistake was coming so close to me for that sneak attack!"

Boom!!!

The raging dragon of Night Guy began to take form, ready to be unleashed.

Kabuto, standing 200 meters to Naruto's flank, thought carefully. "Against that technique, Naruto will either flee or target me. But I've confirmed—there's no Flying Thunder God kunai between us. His only option is escape!"

Yet, the corner of Naruto's lips curled into a smirk.

A sudden, overwhelming sense of dread washed over Kabuto, causing cold sweat to drip down his face.

"This feeling… What's happening? No! I must activate Izanagi immediately!"

He raised his hand to form seals. (Note: Non-Uchiha or top-tier Uzumaki bloodlines require seals to activate Izanagi after implanting Sharingan.)

Thunderclap: Electric Soul Flash!

Slash!!!

Naruto vanished from his original position. In the next instant, his clawed hand tore through Kabuto's left eye!

Holding the bloodied eyeball, Naruto spoke coldly: "Kabuto, do you truly understand how fast this mode is?"

"And stop messing with Hinata. Focus on raising Sasuke instead!"

As he passed by, Naruto delivered a devastating roundhouse kick to Kabuto's back.

Boom!!!!!!!
