Forming an attack like a spear—with Seiki as the sharp tip, the Kage and Jonin as the shaft, and the rest of the Allied Forces as the tail—their combined assault pierced right through Madara's defenses!
For a moment, even Madara of the Six Paths could do nothing but flee in utter disarray.
"This shouldn't be happening. Where exactly did things go wrong?" Madara couldn't wrap his head around it.
He could clearly sense it—the man hadn't even reached the divine realm yet. So how come someone like him, who had, still couldn't defeat his opponent?
Watching from within the space between dimensions, Isshiki narrowed his eyes. "Have the people of this planet developed an entirely new path?"
He hadn't witnessed Seiki administering the cursed seals to the entire population and mistakenly assumed that Sage Art had become widespread!
"If the Main Family ever found out, this planet would definitely make the extermination list!"
Why are the Otsutsuki so overwhelmingly dominant over the planets they rule? Why aren't they afraid of powerful forces rising up from the chakra they've spread?
The reason is simple—mere chakra poses no threat to them. Take Truth-Seeking Balls, for example; no matter how many ninjutsu are thrown at one, they can't even scratch its boundaries. That's a fundamental difference!
Yet this planet has taken a completely different route and developed Sage Arts capable of affecting Truth-Seeking Balls. And most critically, it can be widely implemented among the entire population. That makes it an enormous threat!
"It's time to step in and eliminate this threat!"
Outside, Madara was still trying to save face. "What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger! Just wait—your doom star is already shining bright!"
As he punched Madara, Seiki remarked, "That was a pretty fiery line. But maybe wipe the drool off your chin before you speak next time?"
"I—" Madara was about to retort, but suddenly his pupils contracted. Within his line of sight, a horned figure had appeared behind Seiki.
Tobirama and Minato saw the enemy move. Without hesitation, they tried to teleport behind Seiki to block the attack—only to find themselves completely frozen in place!
In that instant, a single thought struck them—space has been frozen!
Effortlessly, Isshiki summoned four shadow clones from the Rinnegan's shadow realm, surrounding Seiki from front, back, left, and right.
[Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack] x5 — [Four Hundred Gods Vacuum Barrage]!
Though Seiki reacted just in time, turning around and crossing his arms in front of his chest, could he truly withstand an all-out attack from Isshiki?
Even his original body had once been severely wounded to the point of complete "paralysis" when ambushed. This shadow clone was even weaker—half of its body was shattered in a single blow!
Witnessing this, the warriors below were furious, their eyes burning with rage as they surged toward the sky.
"Underhanded and despicable! Attacking from behind!"
"Damn bastard, I'll kill you!"
Yet, as if an invisible barrier hung in the sky, all of them were blocked from proceeding further!
Isshiki ignored their curses and insults, his tone calm and dismissive. "It doesn't matter what methods you use—as long as you win."
"This is it… my Rinnegan's shadow!" Madara finally understood where he had fallen short. That was his own eye!
That man's strength was overwhelming, yet he hadn't entered the Six Paths Domain, so he couldn't sense the existence of Rinnegan's shadow.
He originally thought Rinnegan's shadow was merely a tool for defeating the weak. He never expected there could be someone this powerful in this world without even entering the Six Paths Domain!
"Damn it! This bastard actually used my eyes to show off!" Madara thought bitterly, and then his heart shook once again. "Wait, where's his flesh?"
Within Madara's line of sight, no blood flowed from the part of Seiki's body that had been blown apart.
In the sky, Seiki didn't care about his dispersing body as he let out a long sigh. "Actually defeating my clone… quite impressive strength!"
Isshiki's face immediately froze. "C-Clone?"
Madara nearly popped his eyes out, cursing furiously inside. "This damn guy was just a clone? What kind of joke is this? I almost got defeated by a clone?"
If even a clone was this powerful, just how strong would this fellow's original body be?
Hearing Seiki's voice, the Allied Forces members who had been devastated moments ago also froze.
"C-Clone?"
"If just a clone has reached such a level of strength, isn't Seiki's original body practically a god?"
"Unbelievable!"
Mizuki spoke up. "Seiki is our leader, handling all affairs of an entire world. Naturally, he wouldn't come here in person!"
"Wait for it, my original body will make its move soon!" After saying that, Seiki's body scattered like radiant rain, leaving only one Six Paths Truth-Seeking Ball behind.
"So that's a Six Paths Truth-Seeking Balls. No wonder even I was fooled!" Isshiki suddenly understood, then his expression turned dark. "Seems like the Nouin on his forehead was only meant to lure me out. Hmph, to think he even schemed against me. That Six Paths brat will probably appear soon!"
Suddenly, the Truth-Seeking Ball left behind after Seiki's body dispersed trembled slightly and shot off into the distance.
Isshiki's figure flickered, and in the next instant, he already grasped the Truth-Seeking Ball in his hand. "A decoy should know its place. You've already lured me out. Do you really think you can just take the bait back? Not a chance!"
Saying that, Isshiki swallowed the entire Truth-Seeking Ball.
His condition wasn't too good, but after absorbing the power of this Truth-Seeking Ball, his internal injuries immediately stabilized significantly.
A fierce gleam flashed in Isshiki's eyes. "It's a permanent Truth-Seeking Ball. No wonder the effects are this remarkable. That Six Paths brat really spared no expense!"
Beside him, Madara asked casually, "Since you're here, that means that Six Paths fellow will appear too, right?"
Isshiki narrowed his eyes. "Knowing about Six Paths… Seems like you've already broken free from being just a pawn!"
"Pawn? You're talking about Black Zetsu, right?" Madara coldly snorted. "I'll be sure to return the favor once this battle is over!"
Isshiki was momentarily taken aback. Black Zetsu and the manipulation by Kaguya otsutsuki—what did that have to do with me, Isshiki otsutsuki?
The Allied Forces members watched the two conversing, sending chills down their spines.
Not to mention that Seiki's original body still needed some time to arrive, even if he showed up, could he alone defeat both of them?
After all, this newly appeared fellow seemed much more powerful than Madara!
As everyone was feeling anxious, Tobirama suddenly sensed that Naruto and Sasuke's chakra had vanished!
"What's going on? Where did they..." Before Tobirama could make sense of it, three figures suddenly emerged in the sky.
Naruto with sharp eyes, Sasuke with a cold gaze, and the old man in between wearing a peaceful look!
"Naruto can actually float midair just like them!" Tobirama's eyes widened in shock. He was certain Naruto had never learned any flying ninjutsu.
"And what's that board under Sasuke's feet... are those actually Truth-Seeking Balls?"
Before he could figure it out, Madara demanded sharply, "Are you the Sage of Six Paths? My first reincarnation's... father?"
