Naruto : Reincarnated as Itachi Uchiha—Rise of the Uchiha Nation Chapter 96: 94) First Collision

A minute later, a Black Dragon thousands of ters long, with a wingspan of more than two thousand ters, roared in anger!!!! It had four regal curved horns on its head, purple eyes, with sharp sword-like protrusions erging from its neck all the way to the end of its tail, which was as sharp as a spearhead.

Its two arms were filled with strength, and the purple scales covering them, each the size of a human, reflected the moonlight. Its claws, each with five fingers tens of ters long, were capable of tearing apart Tailed Beasts through sheer strength alone.

{ WRITE THIS PROMPT IN YOUR AI AND PLEASE POST ANYONE. My Ai is useless. }

Seeing this, Itachi smiled in satisfaction. Although Sagittarius was not as large as Yggdrasil, that was because it had consud fewer souls. Ultimately, unlike Yggdrasil, it was a weapon-type God.

"ROARRRRRRRR!!!"

Hearing the roar, Sasuke and the others felt dizzy and didn't dare look directly at it. Just staring at Sagittarius made them feel as if they were falling into an endless abyss that suffocated them to the point they could barely breathe.

RUSTLE

Hearing Sagittarius's roar, the leaves and branches of Yggdrasil rustled in response, ready to deal with its arch-enemy.

SWISHHHH

The next mont, Sagittarius flapped its wings and rushed toward Yggdrasil's massive Trunk, its mountain-sized claws ready to tear the tree apart. Sensing Sagittarius's approach, Yggdrasil used hundreds of branches and hanging roots to bind it.

"ROARRRRR!!!!"

Seeing this, Sagittarius opened its mouth and roared. In the next instant, hundreds of spears, each dozens of ters long, shot out from its mouth, every one targeting a specific branch or root.

The mont a spear collided with a branch, it neither exploded nor pierced through it as one would expect. Instead, at the point of contact, it expanded into a purple-black sphere hundreds of ters in radius.

A few seconds later, when the purple-black sphere disappeared, everything inside it had already been reduced to oblivion.

The sa happened with the other hundreds of spears, destroying most of the incoming branches and roots.

'Hmmm, that's a good attack, like Truth-Seeking Orbs. Let's na this... Sagittarius Style: Star Fall,' Itachi comnted to himself.

When Sagittarius was less than three kiloters away from Yggdrasil's trunk, thousands of roots, each hundreds of ters long, burst from the ground and rushed toward the dragon.

But the mont they ca within a few ters of Sagittarius, space itself seed to distort. All the roots were crushed before being absorbed into the black mist emanating from the dragon.

'Is that Sagittarius's defense? Sothing like Gojo Satoru's Infinity? Except instead of creating an infinite space between two points, it distorts space itself breaking everything and absorbs everything into the black mist to obliterate it. Let's na this... Sagittarius Style: Event Horizon.'

One second later—

Sagittarius finally reached the trunk and slashed with its two claws, forming an X while its mouth lunged forward to bite.

But at that exact mont, Yggdrasil suddenly began to shine so brightly that Sagittarius froze in place. Before it could defend itself, hundreds of roots and aerial roots wrapped around it, binding the dragon like a dumpling.

'So everything until now was a tactic? Yggdrasil deliberately allowed Sagittarius to approach without using its stronger abilities, only to ambush it at the perfect mont? Using itself as bait... quite ruthless.'

Itachi watched the sudden reversal with anticipation, though there was no one present to hear his thoughts and give him company.

"ROARRRR—"

Sagittarius had just regained consciousness and roared in anger when Yggdrasil viciously forced roots into its mouth, shutting the dragon up.

At the sa ti, more and more layers of roots and branches wrapped around Sagittarius, increasing the difficulty of escape with every passing second.

Sensing this, Sagittarius concentrated all of its essence into its tail, causing it to expand dozens of tis in size. The next second, the empowered tail shattered all the roots binding it.

Imdiately afterward, Sagittarius twisted its kiloter-long body and thrust its five-kiloter spear-shaped tail toward Yggdrasil's trunk.

Sensing the attack, Yggdrasil created a storm barrier of lightning around its trunk. In the next mont, Sagittarius's tail pierced through the storm with great difficulty before finally reaching the trunk and exploding into a purple-black sphere hundreds of ters in radius. Although smaller than expected, its power was many tis greater and concentrated than the previous attacks.

A few seconds later, the purple-black sphere disappeared, revealing the damage it had caused.

Half of the hundred-ter-wide trunk had been annihilated into nothingness.

Yet within the next few seconds, Yggdrasil regenerated completely, erasing all of Sagittarius's efforts.

The very next mont, Sagittarius was once again tightly bound by hundreds of lightning roots. The roots not only numbed its body but also interfered with the magical pathways inside it, preventing Sagittarius from properly using magical energy.

'Tsk, tsk, tsk... now this really feels like Hashirama versus Madara. You injure him with great difficulty, and he just regenerates within seconds. Though that last move from Sagittarius was truly cool... is this really only Half-Six Paths Level?'

Ten seconds later—

Realizing there was no way to escape this ti, Sagittarius decisively self-destructed.

The next mont, a purple-black sphere larger than anything before expanded outward, more than a thousand ters in diater.

All the roots binding Sagittarius were erased into oblivion, but Yggdrasil didn't care.

If you destroy ten, I will create ten thousand.

A few seconds later, when the purple-black sphere disappeared, a purple-black spear slightly over two ters long remained at the center.

But tens of thousands of branches and roots were already waiting outside to welco it.

Seeing this, Sagittarius changed forms once again, transforming into a tiny black panther with purple spots and glowing purple eyes, only a few tens of ters long.

The next mont, tens of thousands of branches and roots rushed toward the black panther.

In response, all the purple spots on the panther's body glowed, and countless pencil-sized spears shot out from them, colliding with the incoming branches. At the sa ti, it opened its mouth and spat out a column of black flas, forcefully creating an opening for itself.

Wherever the panther stepped, it left behind marks that ford miniature black spheres tens of ters wide, causing destruction everywhere it passed.

With its much smaller size, it was several tis faster than its previous form. It leaped from one branch to another, stepped across leaves, and ran along the hanging roots as if walking on solid land.

Itachi was impressed by this form.

If this creature had faced the eighty thousand ninjas Madara fought during the Fourth Great Ninja War, the battle might have ended within a minute.

Even Minato and Tobirama would not last long against Sagittarius because they were inherently at a disadvantage against it.

Sagittarius could manifest black holes, control gravity, and all of its attacks carried effects similar to Truth-Seeking Orbs. Space-ti ninjutsu also beca nearly useless near it, as Sagittarius distorted space itself, making the Flying Thunder God technique essentially ineffective in combat and only sowhat useful for escaping for a few seconds.

Even if soone sohow managed to land an attack on it, it would hardly matter because of its overwhelming defense.

And beyond that, it could regenerate just like Yggdrasil.

And until now, Sagittarius still hadn't gone all out.
