The black sword that Naruto created by fusing Yin-Yang Release Chakra is still no match for the black rods that Nagato created with the Rinnegan.
His ability is actually still within the scope of Chakra's form transformation. If you really want to say it, it's actually similar to the Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear used by Sasuke in the original work.
It's just that Sasuke's Chidori Sharp Spear in the original work is a form transformation of Chidori, while his is considered a form transformation of the Tailed Beast Ball.
Stabilizing the 2:8 ratio of Yin-Yang Release Chakra inside the Tailed Beast Ball and then performing form transformation can achieve this. It looks very difficult, but in fact it is not simple.
Naruto can do it because he himself is quite proficient in the use of Yin and Yang Release Chakra.
The Sharingan itself is a Bloodline Limit of Yin Release, and the Susanoo is the ultimate manifestation of Yin Release power. Moreover, the Uzumaki Clan has always been known for its strong vitality, so its Yang Release Chakra is naturally not weak. In addition, there is now the incredibly huge Yang Release Chakra of the Yang Nine Tails, so his attainments in this area are also not low.
Moreover, his research and application of Yin-Yang Release Chakra began very early.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki quickly adjusted his mentality, and his solemn expression faintly carried a hint of relief.
"Naruto, I have to say, your talent is indeed very outstanding."
With the power that Naruto has shown so far, it's no longer a question of whether he can deal with Naruto.
Rather, it is a question of whether Hagoromo Otsutsuki can protect his own bit of Chakra. Although the Chakra he entrusted in this body is only a small amount, it can be said to be quite precious to him, who has been dead for nearly a thousand years.
The offense and defense have switched.
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, you seem to have misunderstood one thing."
Naruto pulled his Limbs out of the ground and said in a chilling tone, "If I remember correctly, the Mangekyo Sharingan must have the power of the Six Paths to evolve into the Rinnegan, right?"
Hearing this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's gaze narrowed slightly.
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki! Now, you are my prey!"
Naruto let out a roar, like a wild beast, and the blood-red Nine Tails Chakra on his body burst out like flames, burning fiercely.
He waved the twin swords on the arms of his two tails, the sword body as black as ink, as if to tear the entire space apart, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the night sky, and slashed towards Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
Naruto doesn't understand any profound swordsmanship, but he clearly knows that the weapon of the sword only needs to be fast, accurate, and ruthless enough.
The Chakra longsword he wields carries a sharp wind with each swing, as if the air is torn apart, forming streams of air vortexes. His movements are concise and powerful, without any unnecessary frills, only a pure aura of slaughter.
Facing Naruto's attack, Hagoromo Otsutsuki adopted the same method.
His current body is too weak, and the power he can use is very limited. Not to mention Truth-Seeking Ball, even the Susanoo is only about 100 meters tall.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki had no choice but to control the blue Susanoo in the same way, waving the Chakra longsword in his hand, and fought with Naruto.
And with Naruto's attack, the Chakra longsword was wrapped in a terrifying airflow, like a torrential storm.
He kept waving his twin swords and slashing at Hagoromo Otsutsuki, each sword containing endless power and killing intent, as if to split Hagoromo Otsutsuki in half.
But each time Hagoromo Otsutsuki was able to accurately block Naruto's attack.
Even if several tails attacked Hagoromo Otsutsuki at the same time, the opponent could block them, and even while resisting Naruto's attack, Hagoromo Otsutsuki could counterattack.
This is not only due to combat experience, but also the effect of the Rinnegan's terrifying insight ability.
But before long, killing intent filled this world, and everything around became tense and oppressive.
The collision of the two sides' sword energy made a deafening roar, and the energy fluctuations spread out, causing the entire Mount Myōboku to tremble.
Time passed second by second, and the battle continued for hundreds of rounds. Surprisingly, although Naruto had been on the offensive, he was the one who had sustained more serious injuries.
The Susanoo on his body had suffered tremendous damage, with a large number of breaches.
The originally incomparably hard Susanoo armor had multiple cuts from sharp blades, revealing the orange-red fur underneath due to the complete Tailed Beast transformation. The flesh wasn't completely severed, but it didn't truly injure him either.
Naruto's own terrifying recovery power allowed his injuries to heal quickly.
The flesh that had been cut open and turned outwards was recovering at a visible rate, and even the Susanoo was slowly regenerating.
On the other hand, Hagoromo Otsutsuki appeared quite relaxed. He didn't have many obvious injuries on his body; the only visible damage was a few cut marks on his armor.
These scars were less noticeable compared to the wounds on Naruto's body, but they showed no signs of healing, and the entire Susanoo was becoming illusory.
It seemed difficult to maintain.
Both Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Naruto saw it and understood the reason.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki's Chakra was running out.
Naruto had seen this, so he directly chose to engage Hagoromo Otsutsuki in high-intensity, fast-paced close combat.
He even used a style of exchanging injuries for injuries, just to make the opponent quickly deplete their Chakra.
Naruto knew that to evolve the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan into the Rinnegan, it wasn't just a simple combination of Asura and Indra's Chakra that was needed.
The key was the Six Paths power drawn out after the fusion of Asura and Indra's Chakra.
In the original story, both Madara Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha drew out the Six Paths power when they were on the verge of death.
And now, the purest Six Paths Chakra in the world was right in front of him.
After absorbing the five Mangekyo Sharingan, his Dojutsu had already reached its peak.
So he didn't need much of the opponent's Chakra, just a wisp, would be enough for his Sharingan to evolve.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki slashed at Naruto's chest again, directly tearing through his chest armor, and even the flesh inside was turned outwards.
The flesh was a bloody mess.
But Naruto's movements only paused slightly before he charged up again.
The flames burning in his eye sockets grew even more intense.
