The Ten-Tails' incomparably massive form and the horrifying aura it radiated could be clearly felt even from several kilometers away.
"So this is the power Uchiha Madara has been pursuing?"
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, gazing deeply at the Ten-Tails' silhouette.
With power like that, what Yuto, what Uchiha Madara — they'd all be crushed beneath my feet!
Uchiha Obito's fists, hidden within his sleeves, also clenched tight as he stared into the distance: To think Yuto actually gave the remaining Tailed Beasts to Uchiha Madara.
In the opposite direction from Uchiha Obito and the others.
Jiraiya, Kakashi, Naruto, Kurotsuchi, and the remaining forces of the destroyed ninja villages had all gathered here.
"The final battle is finally about to begin, is it?"
Jiraiya gazed in the direction of the Ten-Tails with an extremely solemn expression and spoke slowly.
"To think Uchiha Madara had been capturing Tailed Beasts all along — he wanted to revive such a terrifying creature?"
Seeing the Ten-Tails, Kakashi's body tensed up involuntarily.
The aura the Ten-Tails radiated was far too terrifying — it existed on a completely different level from the Tailed Beasts. An ordinary ninja, facing a being like this, probably wouldn't even have the thought of resisting.
"I thought Uchiha Madara had lost for certain — I didn't expect he still had a move like this. Looking at it now, who's winning and who's losing isn't so clear."
Kurotsuchi swallowed hard, her gaze clearly carrying a trace of fear.
It could be said!
The final showdown between Yuto and Uchiha Madara had drawn the eyes of the entire ninja world to this place.
The outcome of this battle would decisively determine the future development of the ninja world — and who truly was the strongest in the ninja world!
Only the victor would gain everything!
The center of the battlefield.
The Ten-Tails crouched on the ground, letting out beast-like roars — violent chakra and a terrifying aura filled the sky above, actually causing the once-clear sky to grow dark and heavy!
"Yuto — don't come to regret this!"
"I'll show you what the true power of the Sage of Six Paths really is!"
The Rinnegan in Uchiha Madara's eyes flickered with a faint purple light as he let out a domineering laugh.
Six Paths — Ten-Tails Coffin Seal!
Uchiha Madara let out a low shout — powerful ocular power radiated from the Rinnegan in both eyes, forming a special suction force.
This power left the incomparably massive Ten-Tails unable to resist at all — it was directly transformed into a vortex-like fluid that surged rapidly into Uchiha Madara's chest.
At that moment, the chakra within Uchiha Madara's body grew and transformed at an indescribable speed — the air around the area where Uchiha Madara stood distorted in a strange way, making it impossible to see his form clearly.
As the Ten-Tails was completely absorbed, Uchiha Madara's entire body suddenly erupted with large amounts of white mist, like steam.
An astonishingly powerful aura radiated outward from Uchiha Madara in all directions, forming an invisible field of pressure, as if it would crush everything in the area!
Uchiha Madara flew out from the white mist, hovering in midair — his appearance had now completely transformed.
His originally black hair had turned pure white, the white coat of the Sage of Six Paths billowed without wind, and nine black Truth-Seeking Orbs floated in a ring around his body.
Uchiha Madara's legs and arms had turned black, and a Six Paths Staff had appeared in his hand.
Six Paths Madara!!
"Now this — this is the true power of the Sage of Six Paths!"
Feeling that indescribable, transcendent power surging within him, Uchiha Madara's face showed a trace of intoxicated delight.
"Yuto!"
"Whether it's you or Hashirama — everything you've done will ultimately come to nothing. This world is sick, and for a sickness like this, only a drastic treatment will do!"
Uchiha Madara hovered in midair, looking down at Yuto below with arms spread wide, speaking in a loud voice.
Unfortunately, Yuto below remained completely unmoved — which drew a look of disappointment across Uchiha Madara's face.
"You may also possess the Sage of Six Paths' power, but that power of yours was ultimately obtained through petty tricks. Compared to the true Six Paths power I now hold, it amounts to nothing."
Uchiha Madara continued speaking — he remembered well how frightening the Six Paths power Yuto had displayed back then had been.
But now, having obtained the true power of the Sage of Six Paths, he knew clearly that the Six Paths power Yuto had shown at that time could never defeat him as he was now.
"I won't hold back like you would… Yuto."
Uchiha Madara looked down at Yuto below, speaking in a cold, emotionless tone.
"That would be for the best, then." Yuto smiled.
In that very instant!
Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed slightly — with a tremendous roar, the ground beneath Yuto's feet collapsed into an enormous crater.
Massive rocks enveloped Yuto in the blink of an eye, sealing him within a huge boulder nearly ten meters across.
Chibaku Tensei!
With the power Uchiha Madara now possessed, he needed no hand seals or process at all — Chibaku Tensei, a technique of this caliber, was completed in an instant.
"Sealing is your final destiny!"
Uchiha Madara spoke flatly — a Black Rod materialized in his hand, then in a flash streaked forward as a dark afterimage, plunging directly into the center of the massive boulder.
"This is what higher-level power means — complete domination over lower-level power."
Uchiha Madara's gaze carried a trace of disappointment, thinking it was about to end —
Crack!
A faint sound suddenly came from within the boulder formed by Chibaku Tensei.
The next moment!
The enormous boulder formed by Chibaku Tensei exploded directly, shattering to dust.
A figure clad entirely in golden-yellow chakra floated in midair, radiating an aura of power and pressure no less than Uchiha Madara's own.
Six Paths Tenseigan Mode!
Wrapped in golden chakra, like a god descending, Yuto hung in the air with a faint, enigmatic smile, looking across at Uchiha Madara, who likewise floated in midair:
"I take it your warm-up is finished?"
One in Six Paths Sage Mode, the other in Six Paths Tenseigan Mode — two completely different auras collided and intertwined in the sky, their immense energy fields tearing the overcast clouds above to shreds.
Looking at Yuto in his current form, Uchiha Madara fell briefly silent — his gaze carrying surprise, incomprehension, puzzlement, and excitement.
"Just what is the nature of this power of yours?"
"And… those eyes of yours?"
Rare disbelief appeared on Uchiha Madara's face, his gaze locked tightly on Yuto — especially on that pair of golden-yellow eyes.
Uchiha Madara could clearly feel that those eyes of Yuto's contained power no less than the Rinnegan.
But why had he never known that such eyes existed in the ninja world?
He hadn't even heard of them!
"The Sage of Six Paths founded 'Ninshū' and possessed a pair of legendary eyes — the Rinnegan. This much has always been known in the ninja world."
"But what many don't know is that the Sage of Six Paths' real name was Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and he had a younger brother named Ōtsutsuki Hamura. These eyes belong to the power of Ōtsutsuki Hamura."
"They are called the 'Tenseigan!'"
Yuto looked calmly at Uchiha Madara, explaining with unusual patience.
