Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 471: Orochimaru on a Rampage?

The unrivaled Tenseigan beam instantly pierced through the creeping vines, wooden clones, wood-style techniques, and even five consecutive Rashomon gates!

Finally, it struck a wooden wall dozens of meters thick.

*BOOM!*

A spectacular explosion erupted, as if multiple Bijūdama had detonated simultaneously, dazzling and earth-shaking in the darkness of the night!

Fortunately, the wood-style defenses were still incredibly impressive, managing to weaken the beam layer by layer. By the time it struck the wooden wall, its power had significantly diminished, only piercing through a large portion of the wall.

Even so, the shockwave from the explosion still sent hundreds of Allied Shinobi flying, tearing through their defensive lines in an instant.

Had there been no wood-style defenses, allowing this beam to strike the wooden wall directly...

The entire Allied Shinobi Forces might have been obliterated in an instant!

The sheer power of the Tenseigan, comparable to a Semi-Six Paths level—even surpassing the colossal Bijūdama of the Ten-Tails—was naturally awe-inspiring.

"That's insane!"

"Even my brother's wood-style couldn't block it?"

Tobirama, reanimated, was also stunned by the Tenseigan's might.

Aside from Madara, he had never seen anyone so effortlessly shatter his brother's wood-style techniques. Even though Hashirama, in his Edo Tensei form, wasn't at his peak, the quality and durability of his techniques shouldn't have been much weaker.

Yet they were pierced through so easily—truly shocking!

It had to be admitted—was this the power of the descendants of the gods who had hidden on the moon?

"Brother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Hashirama's reanimated body had been half-destroyed by the explosion, but the immortality of Edo Tensei was formidable, allowing him to quickly regenerate.

"That beam was absurdly powerful—even Rashomon couldn't stop it? Tobirama, can your newly learned Flying Thunder God Barrier redirect it?"

"Unlikely. The energy is too immense and isn't physical in nature—it probably exceeds the barrier's upper limits..."

"This is troublesome. If they attack again, my wood-style might not hold..."

Hashirama frowned, feeling the inadequacy of his strength for the first time.

If Madara were here...

With the two of them working together, they might have been able to fully withstand it.

"This is bad—another attack is coming!"

Hashirama's expression darkened as he hastily deployed his wood-style defenses once more.

At this moment, the enemy's ultimate weapon, the Tenseigan, had shaken the morale of many in the Allied Shinobi Forces.

But it was still within Konoha's expectations.

Orochimaru had quietly slipped beside Minato, grinning widely as he observed the massive Tenseigan in the distance.

"The enemy took the bait—they really opened their artificial sun's defensive barrier!"

"Orochimaru, is your side ready?" Minato asked quickly.

"Seems like we're still a bit short..."

"Then we'll have to buy more time."

"Don't look at me. Even the legendary First Hokage couldn't stop that thing's beam—I can't hold it back either!"

"Let's use the Four Red Yang Formation again."

"Ah, right—good idea!"

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

On the other side.

Seeing that the unmatched Tenseigan attack had failed to annihilate the Allied Shinobi Forces in one strike—even weakened by layered wood-style defenses—Aoto was also shocked. This was the first time the massive Tenseigan had failed to kill its targets in a single blow.

It just showed how extraordinary the reanimated First Hokage truly was.

But it didn't matter.

If one strike wasn't enough, they'd just fire another.

No one, not even Senju Hashirama, could withstand the power of the Tenseigan—unless they were a god!

"Tenseigan, ready!"

"Fire!"

Aoto's face twisted into a sinister grin as he manipulated the massive Tenseigan once more, unleashing another devastating chakra beam!

At the critical moment, around the circular wooden wall—

Four figures simultaneously formed hand seals and shouted:

"Four Red Yang Formation!"

A towering crimson barrier erupted, forming a massive rectangular shield that encased all the Allied Shinobi within.

Clearly, Minato, alongside Orochimaru, Fugaku, and Tsunade, had once again activated the Four Red Yang Formation.

*SWOOSH!*

Then, the purple chakra beam collided with the red barrier.

Two terrifying forces of chakra clashed—resulting in an immediate explosion!

Brilliant light scattered like a spectacular purple lotus crashing against an upright red wall, the sheer force ionizing the surrounding air. It resembled tens of thousands of purple lightning techniques detonating at once—so breathtakingly beautiful it left people stunned.

But the shinobi inside the barrier had no time to admire the sight.

If the barrier failed, they would all die!

As the collision subsided—

A visible shockwave rippled from the impact point, making the once-unshakable Four Red Yang Formation tremble like thin parchment, on the verge of tearing apart at any moment. Everyone inside held their breath, hearts pounding in tension.

Thankfully, the shockwave soon stabilized—the Four Red Yang Formation had barely managed to hold!

A barrier capable of withstanding the Ten-Tails' massive Bijūdama was, in terms of defense, also at a Semi-Six Paths level. It had barely endured the Tenseigan's assault.

"We blocked it!"

"Hooray!"

"As expected of the Hokage! We're saved!"

"Hahaha! Those insignificant Ōtsutsuki moon-dwellers are no match for our barrier techniques!"

The surviving Allied Shinobi cheered in exhilaration.

But Hashirama and the more experienced shinobi knew the situation wasn't optimistic.

The Four Red Yang Formation had held, but it was clearly nearing its limit.

If the enemy's attack had been slightly stronger, it might have broken through.

Even with the same level of power, a few more strikes could shatter the barrier entirely.

After all, barriers were ultimately sustained by shinobi.

Just that one attack had drained nearly half of Fugaku and Tsunade's chakra.

No matter how powerful the Four Red Yang Formation was, it still obeyed the law of energy conservation—it couldn't endlessly withstand Semi-Six Paths-level attacks without cost.

Especially since Fugaku and the others weren't Edo Tensei with infinite chakra, nor did they have Minato's Bijuu reserves.

It was an immense burden.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Naive!"

"A petty barrier dares to oppose the sacred treasure of our clan?"

"Let's see how many times you can hold out!"

"Tenseigan, attack!"

Holding absolute superiority, Aoto had no intention of slowing down—instead, he accelerated the massive Tenseigan's assault.

Another annihilating beam shot forth, crashing into the distant Four Red Yang Formation!

This attack was also blocked.

But the tremors and distortions in the barrier were far more severe—it was visibly unstable. Fugaku and the others maintaining it were pale-faced, clearly pushed to their limits.

A fourth beam followed, striking the barrier like divine punishment!

This time, the already faltering barrier finally gave way.

To be precise, Fugaku and the others could no longer sustain it.

The supposedly unbreakable Four Red Yang Formation was pierced and shattered, dissolving into scattered chakra...

Though the fourth beam had broken through, its power was greatly diminished.

The remnants were once again blocked by Hashirama's wood-style defenses, preventing heavy casualties.

"Switch! Let my brother and I take over!"

"Speaking of which, Sarutobi also knows the Four Red Yang Formation, right?"

"Orochimaru, why didn't you reanimate him to help?"

Tobirama, seeing the barrier collapse, immediately called for his brother, preparing to replace Fugaku and Tsunade alongside Minato to re-establish the Four Red Yang Formation.

Edo Tensei bodies, with their boundless chakra, were the best candidates for maintaining the barrier.

But Orochimaru, still in good condition, suddenly shook his head with a smile, rejecting Tobirama's suggestion.

"No need. The preparations over there are complete. This battle—we've already won."

Hearing this, Tobirama and the others were baffled.

This was no time for jokes.

If they didn't immediately re-establish the Four Red Yang Formation, the next beam would annihilate them all!

Yet, in this brief pause—

At an altitude of ten thousand meters, among the Ōtsutsuki forces, Aoto had already repositioned the massive Tenseigan, gathering energy for a fifth annihilating beam.

*BZZZ!*

The terrifying purple beam surged forth once more, tearing through the sky.

But at the exact same moment—

An equally massive purple beam suddenly erupted from within the wooden wall, shooting out from the space-time tunnel exit!

It followed the cracks in the wooden wall, streaking straight toward the incoming attack—

And collided with it head-on!
