In the Heavenly Screen...
High in the sky, Six Paths Madara hovered in the center of the firmament, his Rinnegan slightly rotating, locking onto the crimson figure that was rapidly circling around him.
As Gate of Death Might Guy's speed increased, the scorching blood energy left crimson afterimages in the air, and the violent airflow formed an impenetrable encirclement, like a blazing tornado, completely sealing off Six Paths Madara within!
"This speed... even the dynamic vision of the Rinnegan can hardly capture it completely!" Six Paths Madara's heart was heavy. His right Rinnegan kept adjusting its focus, trying to predict Guy's attack trajectory.
Below, Impure World Reincarnation Minato, with a solemn expression, said to Rock Lee had opened the Sixth Gate, "Lee, you'll be in charge of supporting and protecting Gaara here. Also, there's one more thing: bring me my Kunai."
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply—
"They're here!"
"One foot--!"
Suddenly, Gate of Death Might Guy, standing directly in front, swung his fist. The terrifying air cannon instantly compressed the atmosphere, forming a shockwave visible to the naked eye, which blasted straight at the Six Paths Madara Gates!
"As expected, very fast!" Six Paths Madara snorted coldly, and the Truth-Seeking Orb instantly condensed, transforming into a pitch-black barrier in front of him.
"Boom--!" The air cannon and the Truth-Seeking Orb collided violently, and a deafening explosion resounded through the sky!
However, before Six Paths Madara could adjust its posture—
"Two feet!!"
Gate of Death Might Guy's figure flashed behind him like a ghost, and his second punch was unleashed with overwhelming force!
"Bang--!" The blow landed squarely, and the force of the Six Paths Madara sent Madara staggering forward!
"It's not over yet!"
"Three legs! Four legs!!"
Kai's figure shifted rapidly in the air like a crimson lightning bolt, unleashing a series of punches! Violent air cannons bombarded from all directions, and Six Paths Madara's body was squeezed in the center, unable to break free for a moment!
"Can't... can't move?!" Six Paths Madara was shocked. His Rinnegan wildly, but he still couldn't fully capture Guy's movements.
"Five legs--!"
Seizing the opportunity, Gate of Death Might Guy tensed all his muscles, charged his right fist to its limit, and charged towards Six Paths Madara!
"No matter what happens! Charge in! Kai!!" Impure World Reincarnation Minato shouted from below, his eyes flashing with determination.
Six Paths Madara his teeth, and the instant the power of the air cannon dissipated, he swung his left hand violently—
"Truth-Seeking Orb - Absolute Defense!"
The jet-black Truth-Seeking Orb instantly enveloped his entire body, transforming into an impenetrable black sphere that firmly protected him within! At the same time, five smaller Truth-Seeking Orb shot out like sharp arrows, aiming straight for Kai's vital points!
"Now!!" Rock Lee's eyes blazed, and he hurled the Flying Thunder God Kunai from his hand!
The Kunai appeared precisely between Kai and the five Truth-Seeking Orbs.
"Whoosh!!"
A flash of golden light, Impure World Reincarnation Minato Body Flicker Technique! His teeth clenched, his Kunai, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light:
"The timing is perfect, Li!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and took the attack of five Truth-Seeking Orb head-on with his back!
"Boom--!" Destructive energy exploded behind him, but his Reanimated Body made him fearless!
"Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!"
A flash of golden light, and Minato, along with the five Truth-Seeking Orbs, vanished!
"Sand Cloud!" Gaara formed hand seals, and a cloud of sand lifted Kakashi into the sky!
Kakashi knelt atop the sand cloud, his left Mangekyō Sharingan spinning wildly.
"Kamui Might--!"
Space was distorted, and a huge gap was torn open in Six Paths Madara's Truth-Seeking Orb defense!
"What?!" Six Paths Madara turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking sharply!
But it was too late.
"Bang--!"
Gate of Death Might Guy's fist slammed into the gap, landing squarely on Six Paths Madara's chest!
"Pfft--!" Six Paths Madara spat out a mouthful of blood, the terrifying impact causing his entire body to groan! The Truth-Seeking Orb in front of him shattered inch by inch, and finally--
"Boom--!"
Six Paths Madara plummeted from the sky like meteorites, crashing heavily into the earth!
"Boom--!" Smoke and dust shot into the sky, and a trench a kilometer long was plowed into the ground, like a giant dragon crawling!
With everyone's combined efforts, they finally managed to injure the nearly invincible Sage of Six Paths!
The thick smoke slowly dissipated, Gate of Death Might Guy stood still. The crimson steam surged like flames, yet thinned with each breath. His muscles trembled from overexertion, and capillaries throughout his body ruptured continuously, blood mixed with sweat dripping onto the ground, staining the scorched earth dark red.
"Ha ha..."
He stared intently ahead, the burning flame of life still sustaining him, but the continuous use of "Evening Elephant" had pushed his body to its limit.
"Boom--!"
In the distance, within the deep pit, Six Paths Madara slowly rose. His white robe was tattered, and the dent in his chest was visibly healing. His Rinnegan flashed with fanatical battle intent. He raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his smile twisted and excited—
"This feeling of excitement... is the first time since Hashirama!"
His voice echoed across the battlefield, as if proclaiming the absurd disparity in the battle.
"Can we do it again? Do you have any other moves?!" Six Paths Madara spread his arms wide, laughing maniacally, "Make me even happier!!"
Gate of Death Might Guy's pupils suddenly contracted.
(This guy... even Evening Elephant doesn't work?!)
In the distance, Rock Lee, his eyes bloodshot, roared as he charged forward, "Teacher Kai--!"
Gaara watched the battle intently from the sidelines, while the young Kazekage's eyes were equally filled with shock. "That level of attack... it still didn't work?!"
Kakashi knelt on one knee, the side effects of Kamui causing blood to gush from his left eye, his Chakra almost completely depleted. He gritted his teeth, pressing down on his trembling arm, his heart filled with anxiety: (My Chakra is almost gone... At this rate, I won't even be able to provide support!)
Gate of Death Might Guy, supporting himself against the boulder beside him, slowly straightened up. Crimson steam rose again, but his vision had begun to blur.
(Evening Elephant is ineffective... then...)
He looked down at his hands; his skin was carbonized from the intense heat, and his bones groaned.
(Only one move left.)
Six Paths Madara's laughter rang out again, manic and provocative. "Haha... haha! Very good! Keep dancing!!"
The real Shinobi World...
Konoha, Land of Fire
Inside the Hokage's office, Tsunade smashed the sandalwood desk in front of her with a single punch.
"Boom--!"
Wood chips flew everywhere, and the entire room trembled. But Tsunade stared intently at the Heavenly Screen, her golden pupils reflecting the earth-shattering battle.
(Evening Elephant Five-Hit Combo... That level of air cannon would blast even Tailed Beast to pieces!)
In the scene, each of Gate of Death Might Guy's attacks distorted space, and the violent shockwaves even flattened mountains several kilometers away. Tsunade had no doubt—if it were her, even a mere graze from the aftershock would instantly reduce her to dust!
But what about Six Paths Madara?
The guy just spat out a mouthful of blood, then burst into laughter like a madman!
"Damn it..." Tsunade, her nails digging deep into her palms. "Can't the spirits of the old era just lie quietly in their graves?!"
She gulped down a mouthful of wine, the fiery liquid burning her throat, but it couldn't extinguish the anger burning in her chest. Was her future enemy really this strong? Even the Eight Gates Released Formation could only make him "slightly serious"?!
Even more ironically--
"Impure World Reincarnation... Heh." Tsunade sneered, her gaze turning somber as she looked out the window. "The forbidden technique invented by my great-grandfather, Orochimaru used it to toy with the dead, and Kabuto, that madman, took it to an even worse level..."
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and punched the wall again.
"Snap!"
The solid rock wall cracked instantly, and rubble rained down. Anbu hidden in the shadows couldn't help but speak up, "Lady Tsunade! If this continues, the repair costs will be exceeded again..."
"Shut up!" Tsunade irritably. "Those bastards won't rest in peace even after they're dead! One ordinary Madara Uchiha wasn't enough, and now a Six Paths Mode has appeared?!"
She grabbed the bottle and drank it all in one gulp, then suddenly froze.
Etc...
If even Might Guy, with all Eight Gates open, can only achieve this much...
What should be done about the future of the Shinobi World?
The thought sent chills down her spine.
