Staring at the giant sun that Bakorio made again as well as the terrifying attack Minato conjured, Hokusai and Shu exchanged a look before they both nodded seriously and they both took out dark eerie looking pills that had spikes on them and were beating slowly like hearts!

"What are those things?" Minato asked Bakorio with a frown as he didn't like the evil aura he was sensing from those pills while Bakorio's eyes narrowed and turned very sharp as he said "This is bad, we need to finish them quickly!"

Then, He directly sent the giant sun at the duo while Minato trusted in his words and released his wheel. However, Shu and Hokusai didn't seem to have any plans to dodge or defend themselves and directly swallowed those weird pills…

Thump Thump

Two distinctive heartbeats echoed from the two strong devils the moment they swallowed those pills and they gave anyone who heard them chills…

The last thing Minato and Bakorio noticed was weird dark energy covering their bodies and both of their eyes turned completely dark as well like a deep bottomless abyss

"What's happening?" Minato asked, not liking where things were heading and Bakorio frowned slightly before he said "They allowed themselves to be consumed by darkness… The real fight is just starting Minato"

Right after Bakorio said this, the two sage arts collided with the two devils creating a giant explosion followed by a strong shockwave that scorched the earth. However, when it dissipated, they noticed a black sphere floating in the air alone, it was eerily still and unharmed…

"This…" Before Minato could say anything else, the black sphere suddenly split in the middle and opened up to take the shape of Hokusai's wings again, and it revealed the unharmed figures of the two devils inside with swirling dark chakra surrounding them like cloaks!

"He finally decided to show his hand huh?" Bakorio stared coldly at the devils' transformations and it reminded him of his fight with the traitorous monkey sage… He could feel with his Jikininki how their devil hearts were now pitch black and devoid of any goodness… Only destruction and malice were left…

"Who is this he?" Minato asked in surprise but Bakorio didn't reply to him and his eyes simply flickered with a dangerous light before a black humanoid figure started to form around him rapidly and not long after, a 10 meters tall perfect Susanoo formed around them. In its hands was a terrifying black scythe that reeked of the aura of death.

Then, an orange light came flying from the distance and landed on Bakorio's shoulder before it showed its true form… A small orange fox with nine tails behind it.

"You called me?" Kurama spoke calmly while eyeing the two devils with a cold look and Bakorio simply nodded at him and said "I need you to merge with your other half inside Minato please"

Kurama paused slightly before he nodded and said "Fine, but you will owe me one"

Bakorio smiled at this faintly while Minato stared at Kurama in shock and asked"Are you serious? You know you won't be able to regain your freedom if you accept this right?"

"It's fine, my heart is already free" Kurama replied before he tapped Minato's stomach lightly and right after, he slowly merged with his other half inside Minato causing the chakra cloak covering his body to change dramatically!

"So, this is the full strength of the nine tails huh?" Minato muttered to himself while staring at his hands and feeling the unbelievable amount of chakra coursing through every inch of his body.

ROARRRRRR

Shu in his lion form roared like a mad beast and Bakorio calmly said "Let's end this" before he punched with his Susanoo at an unbelievable speed. Shu did the same creating a terrifying shockwave between them that made the earth tremble, although both didn't receive any damage…

Meanwhile, Minato simply nodded slightly before he disappeared and clashed with Hokusai… This fight has already gone far past the capabilities of ninjas… these weren't levels of power a human can achieve….

"Death Dance" Bakorio muttered calmly and Shu watched as the eyes of his Susanoo ignited with a pale white light despite its head being covered in a cloak before it held its scythe horizontally and swung it at a frightening speed at him creating a giant tornado of death in the process!

To retaliate, Shu's body enlarged until he become as big as the Susanoo using his dark chakra before red and dark energies started rotating around his arm and he punched directly at the scythe fearlessly while yelling "Overlord Fist!"

The final fight has finally started as signified by the clash of these two attacks that literally turned the land surrounding the hell's gate in more than 5 km range into desolate land!

…

Meanwhile somewhere deep inside of hell, a beautiful woman accompanied by a horned man were watching this fight with a curious look in their eyes

"Amatsu-sama, it seems like this brat has grown too strong if this is the power of just one of his clones, even if it's one of the strong ones, I can't imagine how strong he can become if we keep letting him grow with no restrictions" Uwabami spoke calmly with his snake eyes staring at the fight projected in front of them with ill intentions clear in them.

"I believe so as well, we only have 7 devils of Shu's and Hokusai's level, and yet they are struggling to take down one of his clones even after using the dark transformation… But I believe this's all going as planned" Amatsu replied calmly without the least bit of nervousness on her face and Uwabami couldn't help but fall in deep thought after hearing this

'Is Jashin-sama allowing this brat to grow stronger on purpose… He probably has a way to deal with him, how exciting… This world is getting more and more exciting, I can't wait to get the chance to get my revenge as well on the white snake sage for betraying me!'

However, Amatsu who was watching the fight with a laid-back look on her face suddenly frowned when she noticed Bakorio's clone appear as if he was staring directly into her eyes before he ripped Shu's head out of his body with the scythe and followed it up by stabbing him with his death chains to completely seal his fate, although he was also injured and his Susanoo was broken in many areas…

Then, the projection in front of them directly broke as he spat in their direction showing his disdain for them!

"Am I imagining things?" Uwabami muttered with his head tilted but the rage covering Amatsu's face said otherwise "That kid dares to challenge me?"

Hell trembled with the rage of its owner, and even the gates of hell on the outside world started trembling but a voice soon whispered in Amatsu's ears and calmed her down, although barely…

…

Meanwhile, just when Bakorio finished his fight, Minato also wasn't slacking!

Bakorio watched in intrigue as this genius Hokage stopped in front of Hokusai and allowed the latter to attack him, while he simply closed his eyes and didn't move…

Hokusai took this opportunity with no hesitation and his sword was instantly covered in a mix of red and black before he swung it at point blank toward Minato who didn't attempt to move at all and released a deadly slash!

However, surprisingly the attack simply landed on his body and disappeared, then, a portal opened from Hokusai's right and the deadly slash came flying at him from it before he could react and cut him in half!

Minato used this opportunity and raised two chakra hands from his back, with one he created a giant tailed beast bomb, and with the other, he kept feeding it his six-path chakra to make it even stronger, then, he opened a portal under the two parts of Hokusai's body and threw the tailed beast bomb into a different portal…

1 km away from them, a giant explosion sounded, and Bakorio instantly used his senses to confirm it… The devil was dead!

'He actually grasped space manipulation already? Just how frightening is his talent?' Bakorio wondered as he stared at Minato whose eyes were still closed as if he was in an enlightened state.
