MM Racing Chapter 21: You're not dead?
Chapter 21: You're not dead?
Kaguya's gaze fell on Hagoromo's bloodshot eyes, her tone carrying a deliberate hint of pity:
"See? This is what happens when you defy me. You killed Hamura with your own hands, and now you're all alone—if you're willing to turn back, I might be able to find a way to bring him back to life."
"Mother, you forced me to do this!" Yu Yi roared.
"You treated human life like dirt, you manipulated Hamura with control techniques, you're the one who killed him!"
"Hagoromo!" Hagoromo shouted angrily, his Rinnegan aura surging.
Kaguya's brows furrowed suddenly, her eyes blazing with anger.
She simply couldn't understand why her son would turn against his closest relatives for those fleeting "ants."
"You were born to be superior to all living beings, so why be attached to these ordinary people?"
You can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, long enough to witness the changing of generations!
Five hundred years from now, those you care about will have long since turned to dust. What will you have left?!
Before she finished speaking, Kaguya's figure shot towards Hagoromo like an arrow released from a bow. The chakra gathered at her fingertips transformed into a sharp blade of energy, carrying the power to tear the heavens and earth apart.
In that case
Then she will reclaim Hagoromo's chakra!
Just as the energy blade was about to touch the feather robe—
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound reverberated throughout the surroundings.
A hand with distinct knuckles suddenly reached out and firmly grasped Kaguya's wrist. The force was like an iron clamp, and she could not advance an inch further.
"He...and me."
Wanci's voice was calm and even, his gaze fixed on Kaguya's astonished face.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kaguya's pupils contracted sharply, and her chakra instantly became disordered.
She looked up abruptly, and when she saw who it was, her face turned deathly pale, and she gasped in shock:
"It's you?!"
"You're not dead?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki exclaimed in surprise.
The newcomer stood tall and elegant, his black and red robes fluttering in the wind, his dark hair swaying gently with the air currents. His face was still as handsome and unparalleled as it had been back then, with red lips and white teeth, but his brows were etched with the vicissitudes of time, and his eyes held a deep and unfathomable serenity.
It was the Wanci she thought had long since turned to ashes.
"Master!"
When Yu Yi saw who it was, the despair that had been building up in her heart was instantly replaced by ecstasy, and her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Wanci glanced at the Rinnegan in Yu Yi's eyes, its lines radiating earth-shattering power, and then calmly gave the order:
"Use the magic talisman to save Yu Village."
"Next, I'll have a little 'battle' with your mother."
Before she could finish speaking, Manji suddenly exerted force on his wrist, and Kaguya felt a powerful surge of Sage Chakra flowing through Manji's arm!
"Why aren't you dead?! How could you not be dead?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki muttered in shock, staring incredulously at Manji before her.
How could one possibly escape the combined attacks of Ash Bones and Infinite Tsukuyomi, even after ten thousand uses?!
"Hehe, Kaguya, you're surprised to see me?"
"Now it's my turn to challenge you to a magical duel!"
He let out a cold laugh ten thousand times.
Before she could react, Manji had already moved to the side and closed in, his right fist wrapped in Sage Chakra, slamming towards her face with a sharp whistling sound!
"Whoosh!!!"
Kaguya was startled and leaned back, simultaneously striking Manji's ribs with her left palm, the force of the blow as sharp as a knife.
"boom----!"
The golden-green and shimmering white chakra collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar.
In the blink of an eye, Manji and Kaguya had exchanged hundreds of blows in the blink of an eye.
The palm winds, fist shadows, and magical light intertwined into a net, moving so fast that mortals could not see it clearly. They could only feel the earth-shattering pressure that suffocated them.
"Bang bang bang—!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang ————!!!!!"
In an instant, the two had become one afterimage in the same spot, and the crisp sounds of their physical combat clashing were as dense as drumbeats.
Wanci's moves combine the flexibility of the Myoboku Mountain Sage Techniques with the ferocity of the Ape Demon Clan, with every punch and kick carrying an overwhelming and unstoppable Sage Power!
Wherever the palm strike swept, dust billowed up and stone slabs shattered into powder.
Despite possessing the power of the Divine Tree, having reached the pinnacle of physical prowess, and having an unparalleled physical body after consuming the fruit, Kaguya was repeatedly defeated by the fierce attacks of Sage Artes.
In less than a hundred moves, Kaguya's sleeves were shattered, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. She was being suppressed by Wanci!
"Your strength... is more than twice as strong as it was back then!"
Kaguya was both shocked and furious. She dodged Manji's sweeping leg kick, her body flying backward, her eyes fixed on him.
Without uttering a word, he flashed forward and gave chase, the Sage Chakra gathered at his fingertips transforming into tiny blades of light that slashed at Kaguya's vital points.
His movements were incredibly fast; the corners of his black and red robes sliced through the air, leaving behind afterimages. Hundreds of exchanges were completed in the blink of an eye, and each collision of limbs produced a deafening roar.
The two fought from the ground into the air, and Manji punched Kaguya's blocking palm!
"Sage Art: Multiple Frog Combo Fist!"
Ten thousand times the force!
With the burst of divine power, Kaguya was struck as if by a heavy blow, flying backward and crashing through several towering ancient trees, creating a crater several meters deep in the ground.
Before the dust settled, Wan Ci had already teleported in front of her!
"Celestial Art: Qilin!"
Wanci suddenly raised his hand, and violent lightning chakra gathered in his palm. Dark clouds instantly gathered around him, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
He suddenly swung his arm, and a giant lightning unicorn roared out from the dark clouds!
The silvery-white lightning, carrying destructive power, opened its blood-red maw and viciously bit down at Kaguya!
"BOOM—!!!"
The moment the Thunder Qilin landed, the earth trembled violently, countless cracks spread out like a spider web, and the surrounding buildings were instantly razed to the ground!
Smoke and lightning intertwined, forming a terrifying zone of destruction.
The aftershocks spread like a tsunami, shaking the distant mountains to the point of collapse.
However, Kaguya still flew out of the smoke!
For Kaguya, even though Sage Mode could cause her a lot of damage.
But she did eat the fruit after all, and her physical body became incredibly strong.
Eating a Celestial Qilin raw is no problem.
Using the force of the recoil, she retreated several feet, looking at Wan Ci's ever-approaching figure, her eyes filled with confusion: "Since you are still alive, why have you never shown yourself all these years? Do you know me...?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Wan Ci said coldly.
He simply couldn't understand Kaguya's logic—back then, she was the one who broke her promise and pierced his chest with the All-Killing Ash Bones, yet now she was asking him why he didn't show up?
If he were to come knocking on her door as she wishes, he would likely face another fatal blow.
If I actually come, you'll be unhappy...
Thoughts raced through his mind, yet his hands moved tirelessly, his feet treading on the void, Sage Chakra coalescing into a tangible step. He closed in once more, his palm strike carrying a devastating force: "Further words are useless!"
"Shut up! Take this!"
"Celestial Technique: Gale Palm!"
"boom--!"
The two clashed again high in the sky, and a terrifying shockwave spread out from the point of their battle, instantly turning the mansion below into dust!
The ground was cracked open with crisscrossing ravines, the bottomless depths of which were filled with billowing smoke and dust that blotted out the sun.
On the ground, Hagoromo held Hamura's cold body, looking up at the two incredibly fast figures in the sky, her eyes filled with shock:
"Master's strength... has actually reached such a level that he can directly confront Mother and even suppress her!"
"However, now that I possess the Rinnegan, I should have the strength to contend with my mother..."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki clenched his fists, feeling incredibly strong!
[PS: I have to add something here. In the original story, Kaguya was blessed by the people to become pregnant and give birth to the Hamura and Hagoromo brothers.]
[In the original story, the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers did not know Susanoo, nor did they know ninjutsu; they fought using Truth-Seeking Balls and Yin-Yang Release.]
[Including the subsequent original Indra and Ashura storylines, it was Indra who created ninjutsu, and only Indra knows ninjutsu. Ashura doesn't know any Wood Release or ninjutsu that resembles Rasengan; he fights using Truth-Seeking Balls, Yin-Yang Release, and what appears to be a Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.]
The reason I'm mentioning this is because the plot of this book is based on the TV anime; I won't go into the manga's plot.
He quickly took out the toad talisman from his bosom. The talisman was warm to the touch and emitted a faint golden light. Without hesitation, Yu Yi placed it on Yu Cun's forehead.
"Buzz—!"
A burst of brilliant golden light erupted instantly, enveloping Hamura's corpse.
Golden light flowed into Hamura's body through his seven orifices, gradually warming his previously cold body. The wound that pierced his chest healed at a visible speed, and his pale face regained its color.
A moment later, the golden light dissipated, and Hamura suddenly opened his eyes, his Byakugan activated abruptly, and he coughed violently, his chest heaving, but he was completely healed.
