Gemini şunu dedi:Chapter 37: The Advent of the White Yaksha (Part 1)
Many wonder how Hagoromo uses the Raikiri (Lightning Cutter) so effectively without the predictive powers of a Sharingan. The secret lies in three factors:
Elite Dynamic Vision: Years of rigorous training since childhood gave him post-human visual tracking. While not a "cheat code" like the Uchiha's bloodline, it is highly functional.
Exceptional Reflexes: A natural byproduct of his unique physical constitution.
Variable Patterns: He rarely uses the Raikiri as a simple, long-distance linear thrust—a predictable move that even average ninjas can counter.
But right now, he is about to perform the longest thrust of his life.
Hagoromo is using a faint Chidori Current to stimulate his nervous system, maximizing his speed while balancing his stamina as he races back to the Konoha Command Center. Behind him, dozens of Konoha ninjas are doing the same—desperately trying to salvage a situation compromised by a massive intelligence failure.
The Sand's strategy was brilliant:
The Feint: They ostensibly moved 1,000 troops toward the Stone front, which Konoha confirmed.
The Flank: In a synchronized move, they pulled 2,000 troops from the Stone front, circled through the Land of Rain with permission from Hanzo, and struck the Konoha Command Center from the rear.
The Bait: They sacrificed 1,000 "disposable" troops on the front lines to pull Konoha's mobile reserve away from the HQ.
Now, as the mobile reserve realizes the trap and turns back, the dying Sand remnants on the front lines are fighting with suicidal determination to stall them.
After 40 minutes of non-stop sprinting, Hagoromo is the first to arrive. His chakra is nearly bottomed out, but the sounds of battle are deafening. Then, a roar like a tectonic plate shifting echoes through the night.
A titan appears in his vision. Even the darkness cannot hide its massive, sandy frame covered in jagged blue sigils. It looks like a giant, demonic tanuki, radiating a swamp of malicious, suffocating chakra.
"The One-Tailed Shukaku!"
Hagoromo breathes the name as he skids to a halt. The Sand has bet everything on this—sacrificing 1,000 men and deploying their ultimate weapon to decapitate Konoha's command. If the HQ falls, the remaining Konoha forces will be headless and easily picked off, forcing the Land of Fire into a humiliating surrender.
Hagoromo doesn't stay frozen for long. Like the veterans around him, he knows that dying by a Tailed Beast's claw or a common kunai makes no difference. He charges back into the fray.
From this distance, he can see Kushina. She is impossible to miss. She is the anchor of the battlefield, her Adamantine Sealing Chains (Kongo Fusa) glowing silver in the moonlight as they bind the Shukaku, suppressing its oceanic chakra with the unique power of the Uzumaki clan.
But her bravery is her target. Hagoromo sees swarms of Sand ninjas descending on her location to break the seal.
Nearby, Tsunade is locked in a brutal stalemate. Her Strength of a Hundred Seal is active, and she stands amidst a graveyard of puppet debris, facing her old rival: Lady Chiyo and her Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu. The two titans of medical and puppet warfare are effectively neutralizing each other.
Hagoromo reaches the edge of the battlefield. He overlooks the chaos: Shukaku roaring in the center, Kushina straining to hold the chains at its feet, and Tsunade battling puppets in the distance.
He exhales. He has just enough chakra left for one final, all-out Chidori Current.
He leaps from the branches, his body erupting in brilliant, chirping lightning. From high above, he looks like a fallen star—a bolt of white light aiming to pierce through the heart of the battlefield.
