Chapter 282: Rei vs Toneri - fin

The ground trembled as the massive rock golems shook themselves awake and aimed their attention at Rei who still tried to comprehend how the fight could escalate so fast. Not a moment earlier, their battle consisted of a bonafide slug-fest, yet... now the kid wanted to pull out mountain-sized monsters into the fray? Needless to say, Rei was not about to face these golems with just his fists or Jutsu.

'Yeah, screw this shit...' A black-ish chakra cloak instantly engulfed Rei's body, causing Toneri to feel a bad premonition that came true not a second later when the chakra cloak outwardly expanded, forming a mountain-sized ten-tailed black fox that promptly roared at the golems, fiercely shaking the ground for kilometers around.

Toneri stood rooted in his spot, stunned into speechlessness because he didn't expect Rei to be able to match his golems. Despite his momentary lapse, the golems didn't wait for orders and promptly attacked, rushing at the massive Blackie. Each step called forth a new earthquake, rippling the ground under their feet in a way that let them get a massive momentum.

Contrary to the normal expectations, the golems, while sluggish, were quite fast. It didn't take them long to close the gap between themselves and Blackie as they tried to tackle him to the ground. Blackie, however, was much nimbler and managed to sidestep the first golem before he jumped upwards, twisting its body in a way that the second and the third golem missed him by a slight margin as they crashed to the ground, spreading untold devastation all around their landing place due to their weight.

Rei could almost feel Kaguya's chakra seeped deep in the moving lumps of animated moon rock and he couldn't help but thank his past self for not choosing the easy way out and simply getting one of the nine already existing bijuu as in this current situation, he had no doubt they would have been suppressed by that exact chakra, making this an incredibly disadvantageous fight for him. But since his bijuu was self-made, Kaguya's chakra residue acted as nothing more than an extremely strong enhancer for the rock golems.

Blackie landed on the ground, and instantly charged a bijuu dama, shooting it at the three golems still sprawled on the ground, creating a city-wide new crater on the moon's surface. A brief flash of heat spread through the surroundings as a massive amount of dust flew into the air, completely obstructing visibility.

Blackie and Rei knew a single bijuu dama would not be the finishing move in this battle. But they wanted to see exactly how much damage it would cause.

Unfortunately for them, when the dust cloud somewhat cleared, the three golems were already rising up, sending gusts of wind all around. They indeed sported a layer of molten and jagged rock on their surface but it was obvious no major damage was caused to them.

Rei briefly glanced at the place Toneri was at before he sent his golems to the fray and frowned. The guy already used his projection to hide, letting the golems do the heavy lifting for him.

The golems tried to surround Blackie who was standing still, waiting for them to come closer as Rei already conveyed his plan to him. When they finally approached, trying to get the fox into their grasp, Blackie again dodged by the slightest margin but this time, he used his tails to trap the three golems. For each of them, three tails were used, binding their limbs and torso, trying to keep the three hulking and struggling masses of rock still with varied success.

Blackie now had all three golems bound but that also meant the golems had Blackie pinned down. In an instant, the fight became a comparison of brute strength, which was somewhat unfavorable for Blackie in one versus three scenarios.

Seeing that, Rei decided to give Blackie a bit more help. He started to use a chakra from Blackie to charge a Jutsu.

Rei knew he wasn't good enough in the earth element to do much about the golems but slightly weaken them, which was simply not worth it. Wind element was also out since the air was giving these jutsus quite a boost. Unfortunately, there was a vacuum on the moon. Using fire on rocks wasn't much better and lightning had already proved to be ineffective earlier so Rei had no other choice but to use water.

An arduous task, considering there wasn't oxygen and hydrogen in the atmosphere of the moon, therefore, Rei had to form water just from his chakra alone. Thankfully, Blackie had enough chakra to do this.

Clapping his hands together, Rei inwardly exclaimed, 'Water release: Crushing Exploding Shockwaves!'

A massive torrent of highly pressurized water as if exploded outwardly from Blackie right after the fox unbound them from its tails, smashing into the three golems with such a force it flung them back despite their huge size. Large gashes were made on the rocky surface of the golems on the impact, the second one even lost an arm while the third lost a leg.

Not that it mattered as the golems regrew them almost instantly but Rei still counted it as his win.

The real aim of the Jutsu was different anyway. Getting the golems away from him and Blackie was nice but he really just wanted to remake the battlefield.

The Jutsu was finished but that didn't mean the newly made water magically disappeared. Instead, the battlefield was submerged in a small ocean of water, reaching Blackie and the golems up to their knees, which was far harder terrain to move in for bulky and sluggish rock golems.

Realizing its advantage, Blackie instantly jumped back into the fray, smashing and smacking the golems around like little children by using its innate agility.

...

While the fight went on, Toneri, completely drenched and annoyed beyond all measures, watched the titanic battle from what he thought was a safe distance. Clearly, he was a bit wrong about that since the water still reached him.

Who in their right mind would create an ocean of water on the moon, anyway?

If not for his chakra cloak, Toneri thought he would have drowned right then and there. Well, there wasn't much of an opportunity to learn how to swim on the moon...

Embarrassed enough, Toneri didn't like how his golems started to lose. It was already ten minutes since the battlefield became too watery for them and they still couldn't get out of the onslaught of the fox.

"Should I create more golems?" Toneri said to himself. "No... it is just a battle of attrition. My golems might be disadvantaged for now but I will win. They cost far too little chakra to maintain and whatever Jutsu that is, I doubt the thief can sustain that fox avatar for long." He reasoned, not really knowing what bijuu was. "For now, let's just observe."

Toneri was totally certain that in time, he would win. That's why he was completely shocked when he got a reply.

"Are you sure about that?" An amused voice sounded from behind Toneri, scaring him out of his wits and causing him to turn around...

Only for his head to separate from his body.

Rei watched with bated breath as Toneri's now headless body slowly slumped to the ground, not disappearing this time, making him release a breath of relief.

"Nailed it." Rei whispered, flicking his sword to the side to clean the blood from it.

To be honest, Rei found Toneri's Projection Jutsu really annoying as it prevented him from getting in the decisive blow whenever he had the opportunity. That's why he was not sure he could sneak up on Toneri and finish the fight in one strike. Rei even called out for Toneri before striking, all in order to momentarily distract the kid from using the said Jutsu.

'Fortunately, it worked.' Rei hummed to himself, watching as the three golems started crumbling into the watery fields, leaving only the majestic sight of a titanic black fox standing all alone in the devastated landscape of the moon covered in water.
