Convergence

When Yichen and the others returned to the outside of Iwagakure, the Iwagakure was still enveloped by the Four Red Yang Formation.

Yichen did not enter the village, nor did he allow Ikura and the others to remove the Four Red Yang Formation.

Instead, he used the Four Red Yang Formation to learn about the current situation in the Ninja World from Ōnoki.

After Ōnoki finished his report, Yichen exclaimed in surprise, "The Hokage was actually sealed by the Amber Purifying Pot?"

Ōnoki was somewhat speechless at the focus of Yichen's attention.

Shouldn't Yichen have asked about Madara Uchiha's strength first?

Little did Ōnoki know that Yichen had already foreseen the extent of Madara Uchiha.

However, Kakashi Hatake unexpectedly lost, which surprised Yichen quite a bit!

Yichen said to Sokai, "Just in case, go to Obito Uchiha's Kamui Space dimension and retrieve the Amber Purifying Pot that sealed Kakashi Hatake."

After Sokai left, Ōnoki said, "According to the information from the Reanimated Body, Madara Uchiha just now killed Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "The timing is so coincidental. How about we don't go over there yet?"

"Have Sakura tell Madara Uchiha: Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki are the reincarnations of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' sons. The Sage of Six Paths will heal them and give them his power."

Ōnoki:...

It has to be you!

Ōnoki immediately rushed back to the Tsuchikage's Office Building to find Sakura.

Yichen then looked at Chiga.

Chiga sensed it for a moment and said, "Madara Uchiha is indeed still in the Land of Water. Sasuke Uchiha is dead; I can't sense him."

Yichen nodded, about to say something, but Chiga continued, "In that direction, there's a member of the Uzumaki Clan, very strong, about the same strength as you."

Yichen was taken aback, looked in the direction Chiga was pointing, and subconsciously asked, "Where?"

Chiga thought for a moment and said, "Probably in the southern part of the Land of Wind."

Chiga played a significant role in this final First Shinobi War, as she was responsible for providing Yichen with intelligence on several key figures.

She had identified all members of the Uzumaki Clan, Uchiha Clan, Hyuga Clan before the battle even began.

Yichen originally wanted her to monitor the cell owners of Hashirama Senju, but Chiga's perception ability had reached its limit, so Yichen gave up.

Therefore, the movements of Orochimaru, Madara Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha were all under Chiga's perception.

It was precisely because Chiga was constantly monitoring these key figures that Yichen dared to go to the moon to spar with Orochimaru without fear of missing the final First Shinobi War.

Yichen hadn't expected that, in addition to the few Sage he had anticipated, other Sage had appeared in the Ninja World.

Yichen glanced in the direction of Sunagakure, then thought, "The Uzumaki Clan... could it be Nagato?"

After a while, Sokai returned from the Kamui Space with the Amber Purifying Pot.

Instead of immediately dealing with Kakashi, Yichen said to Sokai, "Open another door, let's go to the Land of Wind."

Sokai didn't ask anything. He nodded, roughly estimated the location in his mind, and then opened a spatial portal.

Yichen and the others crossed the Space-Time Door and arrived in the Land of Wind.

Then, guided by Chiga, the group quickly arrived at the original location of the Country of Roran.

"So it's Dragon Vein!" Yichen murmured to himself as he looked at the puppet kingdom created by the Sasori of the Red Sands.

"It seems Nagato is using the Dragon Vein!"

As they got closer, Yichen, Neji, and the others could already sense Nagato's intense Chakra fluctuations within the Dragon Vein.

Meanwhile, underground in Rōran, Yahiko, Konan, and Sasori of the Red Sands were standing in front of a huge cave.

They all watched in awe as Nagato within the Dragon Vein completed his transformation from a mortal to Sage.

In particular, Sasori of the Red Sands originally agreed to let Nagato absorb a portion of the Dragon Vein's power because of his friendship with Nagato and Nagato's promise to teach him the Rinnegan's ability to control puppets.

Just as Nagato had thought, Sasori had no ambition; as long as the power of the Dragon Vein was enough for him to research puppets, a little more or less didn't really matter.

However, he did not expect that Nagato would change so much after absorbing the power of the Dragon Vein.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Nagato, Sasori's resolve began to waver. He wondered if his ambitions were too simplistic.

Yahiko and Konan, on the other hand, didn't have as many complicated thoughts; they were more worried.

There are concerns that something unexpected might happen to Nagato during his advancement.

At that moment, Nagato, who was completely enveloped within the Dragon Vein, suddenly floated up and said, "Someone's coming."

Yahiko and Konan were both startled. Konan instinctively asked, "Is it Madara Uchiha?"

She was stunned by Madara Uchiha's previous power.

Scorpion immediately contacted the puppet to scout the situation outside Rōran.

Nagato Awakening Eyes, glanced in a certain direction, shook his head, and said, "No, it's Yichen's here."

Konan and Yahiko both breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasori looked into Nagato's eyes.

At this moment, Nagato's Byakugan remained unchanged, but a new vertical eye appeared on his forehead.

Its vertical eye is open, and the eyeball inside is a red Tomoe Rinnegan.

Three Tomoe are clearly visible on the black circular pattern.

It was only then that Konan noticed the vertical eye on Nagato's forehead, and she blurted out, "The Tomoe Rinnegan?"

Nagato nodded, offering no explanation, but instead said to Sasori, "Sasori, thank you for your help this time."

"This is my understanding of controlling puppets with the Rinnegan."

Scorpion controlled the puppet to extend a long, thin tail and take the scroll from Nagato's hand.

After handing over the scroll he had promised to Sasori, Nagato turned to Yahiko and Konan and said, "Let's go out. Yichen is still waiting for us."

Yahiko and the other person both murmured an "Mmm."

Then, under Scorpion's watchful eye, the three of them quickly left the underground of Rōran.

Yichen had just sensed that Nagato's aura was fluctuating very intensely, knowing that he had just advanced in rank, so he didn't disturb him and waited outside with Neji and the others.

After a short while, Nagato came out with Yahiko and Konan.

Yichen quickly stepped forward, took Konan's hand, and carefully examined her. Seeing that she was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Yichen said, "Konan, this time it was too dangerous. After this First Shinobi War, come back to Iwagakure with me."

Konan nodded; he and Nagato Yahiko had already reached an agreement on this matter.

After chatting with Konan for a couple of minutes, Yichen turned to look at Yahiko and Nagato.

Yichen nodded to Yahiko, then looked at Nagato and said, "Nagato, you've become Sage by using the power of the Dragon Vein?"

Nagato nodded and said, "Yes, but my Byakugan hasn't evolved. The bloodlines of the Uzumaki Clan, Senju Clan, Hyuga Clan, and even Uchiha Clan within me have fused."

"These blood vessels didn't flow to my eyes; instead, they converged on my forehead, eventually forming this eye."

Yichen examined Nagato's vertical eye carefully and then said, "This is the Tomoe Rinnegan. We fought against Kaguya Otsutsuki Rabbit Goddess, on the moon this time."

"She has one eye like that on her forehead, but she has more Tomoe markings) on her eye than you do, so she should be more powerful."

Yichen said, "It's a good thing that you've awakened the Tomoe Rinnegan; our combat strength has increased once again."

"We have another battle to fight. First, familiarize yourself with the capabilities of this eye, and then we'll discuss some tactics."

When Izumi Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan, it took her quite a while to familiarize herself with its abilities.

However, Nagato shouldn't need that much time, because Yichen have seen too many Dōjutsu, and they can figure them out quickly by trying them one by one.

Furthermore, although Nagato possesses the red Tomoe Rinnegan, his Dōjutsu overlap to some extent with those of Sokai.

Guided by similar Dōjutsu, Nagato shouldn't have too much trouble figuring out the Dōjutsu.

Most importantly, Nagato had experience controlling the Rinnegan.

While Yichen was happily discussing Nagato's eyes, the battlefield in the Land of Water was anything but quiet.

Naruto was killed by a single slash from Madara Uchiha's clone, and then thrown towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Before the Nine-Tails inside Naruto could dissipate, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path immediately began to extract Chakra.

But the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was only half-drawn when Minato Namikaze instantly appeared beside Naruto.

Minato Namikaze was well-prepared for this, and he had taken into account the suction force of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

He appeared beside Naruto in a flash, then vanished again.

Madara Uchiha's gaze sharpened, and his Rinnegan the surroundings, but he couldn't find Minato Namikaze or Naruto.

Clearly, Minato Namikaze took Naruto directly to a location far from the battlefield.

Unable to find Naruto and his son, Madara Uchiha looked towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Madara Uchiha didn't care that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was missing an arm; his gaze fell on the nine eyes on the top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.

The middle eye of these nine eyes has gone from being open a crack to being half-open.

Madara Uchiha estimated that about half of the Nine-Tails inside Naruto had been absorbed.

Madara Uchiha leaped several times and quickly arrived on top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

He pressed one hand against the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and began to sense it.

There is a connection between the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the nine Tailed Beasts. With the help of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Madara Uchiha quickly located the remaining Tailed Beast.

The Four-Tails and Five-Tails are indeed in the direction of Iwagakure).

The Nine-Tails is in the direction of Konoha, so it seems that Minato Namikaze teleported Naruto back to Konoha.

As for the Eight-Tails, it is in the sea in the northern part of the Ninja World; it is unknown whether it is on an island or in the ocean.

What puzzled Madara Uchiha was that there were also traces of Tailed Beast Chakra in the direction of the Land of Wind.

But upon closer inspection, he still couldn't determine exactly how many tails there were.

Madara Uchiha glanced at the Jinchuriki and Hinata present.

They also emitted Chakra fluctuations from the Tailed Beast, Madara Uchiha guessed that the group in the Land of Wind should be the same as these people, so he didn't pay much attention to them.

After a moment's thought, Madara Uchiha decided to go to sea first to retrieve the lone Eight-Tails.

But just then, Fugaku Uchiha, who had been controlled by Sakura, spoke up, "Madara Uchiha- senpai, please wait. My teacher, the Tsuchikage, asked me to convey a message to you."

The original Madara Uchiha would never have taken a mere Tsuchikage seriously.

But now he knows from Black Zetsu that Iwa ninja has produced at least two Sages, both of whom were trained by this Tsuchikage, so Madara Uchiha decided to listen to what Yichen had to say.

Seeing that Madara Uchiha didn't object, Sakura controlled Fugaku Uchiha and said, "Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki are the reincarnations of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' son."

"Although they have been killed, the Sage of Six Paths will resurrect them and impart the Six Paths Power to them. Please be careful, senior."

Madara Uchiha's gaze sharpened, and a thought immediately popped into his mind: the Tsuchikage wanted to sit back and watch the two tigers fight!

But the next moment, he couldn't help but turn his gaze to Sasuke's corpse.

Naruto was taken away immediately because his father was there, but Sasuke's body was left unattended and just lay there on the ground.

"The Sage of Six Paths? The reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' son?" Madara Uchiha was thinking more than Sakura.

He thought about himself; he seemed to be special too.

Although he didn't directly connect it to the fact that he was also the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' son, he still felt that he and Sasuke seemed to have some similarities.

Regardless of whether they are similar or not, if they pose a threat, they should be eliminated as soon as possible.

Madara Uchiha used a Body Flicker Technique to appear next to Sasuke.

He crouched down and extended his right index and middle fingers to pluck out Sasuke's eyes.

But just then, Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed.

At the same time, a powerful aura erupted from his left eye, attempting to directly repel Madara Uchiha.

As Sasuke unleashed the Rinnegan's basic Dōjutsu, Repulsion, he shouted, "Madara Uchiha, you should have just killed me outright!"

But who is Madara Uchiha? His combat experience is extremely rich. The moment he saw Sasuke's left Rinnegan, he also activated the Shinra Tensei Dōjutsu.

Sasuke did not immediately repel Madara Uchiha.

However, Madara Uchiha's middle finger, which was pointing towards his left eye, could no longer advance.

However, if the left eye doesn't work, there's still the right eye.

With a flick of his Madara Uchiha gouged out Sasuke's right eye.

Sasuke cried out in pain, quickly gathering Yin Power in his left hand to form a Ninjutsu: Chidori, and then raised his hand to thrust straight at Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha did not resist; he withstood Sasuke's attack and removed Sasuke's right eye.

Then, after Sasuke attacked him, he used Limbo: Border Jail to leave a clone to take the hit for him, while his main body retreated directly.

Sasuke kicked Madara Uchiha's Limbo Clone and quickly got up from the ground.

He was covering his empty right eye with one hand, his face contorted in a grimace.

Madara Uchiha's expression was grave; he had just sensed a threat of death from Sasuke's left hand.

Clearly, only ninjas of the same level could pose such a threat to him.

Based on what Fugaku Uchiha had just said, Madara Uchiha knew that it was the Six Paths Power.

Just then, a figure flashed beside Sasuke, and two blond-haired figures suddenly appeared.

It was Minato Namikaze and Naruto.

Sasuke was resurrected, and so was Naruto. After being resurrected, Naruto was worried about Sasuke's condition, so he immediately asked Minato Namikaze to teleport him over.

However, because Madara Uchiha attacked Sasuke, the Sage of Six Paths did not explain in detail to Naruto and Sasuke the cause and effect of events from a thousand years ago.

He didn't even have time to explain how to use the Six Paths Power!

This made the Sage of Six Paths somewhat worried about his two sons, so he went to Hinata again.

Hinata forcibly absorbed a massive amount of Chakra from one of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's arms, and her current physical condition is not normal.

She was starting to lose control of the power within her.

Just then, the Sage of Six Paths pulled her consciousness in front of him.

While Naruto and Sasuke were still exchanging words with Madara Uchiha, Hinata had already advanced to Sage Mode under the forceful intervention of the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths helped her integrate the Tailed Beast Chakra absorbed from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's arm into her eyes.

Then Hinata's Jōgan finally completed its transformation, reaching the Sage level.

Hinata's advancement, while not as silent as Naruto's Sasuke's, was still very rapid.

She completed her transformation before Madara Uchiha attack.

After becoming Sage, Hinata used the Body Flicker Technique to appear next to Naruto and Sasuke.

Madara Uchiha's expression turned somewhat grim upon seeing Hinata's sudden advancement.

He wasn't afraid of these three. Even without the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he dared to say he could defeat these three juniors.

With the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path present, Madara Uchiha only saw the three of them as a source of Chakra to replenish the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's energy.

What made his face turn ugly was the Sage of Six Paths.

He didn't see the Sage of Six Paths grant Sasuke the Six Paths Power, nor did he see the Sage of Six Paths help Hinata become Sage.

This caused Madara Uchiha was originally confident that he could fight against the entire Ninja World single-handedly, to waver in his resolve.

However, Madara Uchiha's Ninja Way did not allow him much time to waste on hesitation.

His gaze quickly regained its resolve. Since obstacles had appeared, he would deal with them first before retrieving the Eight-Tails and the other Tailed Beast.

Having made up his mind, Madara Uchiha did not hesitate any longer and instead launched an attack on the three newly appointed Sage of Konoha.

Madara Uchiha's attacks were as domineering as ever; he didn't bother to carefully probe whether Sasuke and Hinata had acquired new Dōjutsu.

He launched a powerful and oppressive attack right from the start.

Carefully luring the opponent into making a move can indeed yield the desired information.

However, a fierce attack can force the opponent to use their Trump Card to protect themselves, thus achieving the same goal.

The latter is undoubtedly Madara Uchiha's forte.

When Sasuke learned that his Tomoe Rinnegan Amenotejikara) Dōjutsu, he devised numerous strategies.

Each of these techniques could unexpectedly and severely injure Madara Uchiha.

However, Madara Uchiha launched a full-scale attack with four Limbo Clones, forcing the overwhelmed Sasuke to use Amenotejikara to escape.

It was only at this moment that Naruto and his two companions realized just how terrifying Madara Uchiha when he unleashed his full power.

In comparison, when he dealt with Hashirama Senju and Armored Susanoo, it was like he was toying with children.

Bang!

Madara Uchiha Hinata flying with a single punch, as she tried to defeat him in close combat.

Then, a Limbo Clone was used to block Naruto's attack.

Taking advantage of Naruto Hinata's inability to provide support, Madara Uchiha quickly rushed to Sasuke's side and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks.

Sasuke's left Rinnegan spun rapidly in its socket as he used Madara Uchiha's muscles to anticipate his movements and react quickly.

However, while his vision could keep up with Madara Uchiha's movements, his body couldn't keep up at all.

He only managed to block two punches from Madara Uchiha before being kicked away.

Madara Uchiha didn't foolishly wait for Sasuke to regain his footing; he rushed towards Sasuke while Sasuke was still flying in the air.

Susanoo's body was not stable, and he only had time to use Susanoo for defense.

However, Madara Uchiha reacted faster than he expected. Almost as soon as Sasuke's Susanoo appeared, Madara Uchiha also activated his Susanoo.

Furthermore, unlike Sasuke's fully extended posture when he first activated his Perfect Susanoo, Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo assumed an attack stance upon its emergence.

Boom!

Madara Uchiha's Susanoo struck Sasuke's Susanoo with its full power.

Click click click click!

A series of cracking sounds immediately came from Susanoo's Susanoo.

Sasuke had Susanoo counterattack; he quickly mobilized his eye power to restore Susanoo.

However, Madara Uchiha was faster than him; the second sword had arrived shortly after the first one landed.

Boom! Another strike landed on the same spot on Sasuke's Susanoo.

With a bang, the Susanoo had only been shattered, exploded.

Sasuke didn't even have time to repair the damage to Susanoo exploded.

He quickly covered his left eye, which was being attacked by the backlash.

He was already struggling to unleash the Perfect Susanoo with only one eye, and he had to thank the Six Paths Power for being able to do this.

Now that Susanoo has been completely destroyed, Sasuke immediately suffered a backlash from his Dōjutsu, temporarily losing the ability to resist.

Madara Uchiha did not let Sasuke. He disliked this clansman who had little ability but loved to put on airs.

What kind of class are you, trying to show off like me!

Madara Uchiha once again swung the Susanoo's longsword and slashed down at Sasuke.

At this critical moment, Minato Namikaze suddenly appeared beside Sasuke.

However, Hinata, who had just recovered from Madara Uchiha's heavy blow, was shocked when she saw this.

She shouted, "Watch out!"

In her haste, Hinata didn't even have time to explain who she was warning or what she was warning them about!

Pfft!

Minato Namikaze, who had just appeared to Sasuke away, Minato Namikaze, his Chakra running wild.

Pfft, pfft, pfft...

Several more sounds of sharp weapons piercing flesh rang out, and Minato Namikaze was stabbed a few more times.

The one who launched the sneak attack on Minato Namikaze was naturally Madara Uchiha's Limbo Clone.

Compared to Sasuke, Sage also possessed Space-Time Ninjutsu, Madara Uchiha was more concerned about Minato Namikaze, who repeatedly thwarted his plans.

He forwent the opportunity to kill Sasuke directly, instead having his Limbo Clone hide beside Sasuke, waiting for Minato Namikaze to arrive as reinforcements.

Minato Namikaze didn't possess Sasuke and Hinata's Dōjutsu, nor did he have Naruto's sensory abilities. He failed to notice the Limbo Clone plotting against him and, in his eagerness to save lives, fell directly into the trap.

As Minato Namikaze flew over using the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Limbo Clone directly inserted several Black Rod made from Rinnegan Chakra into Minato Namikaze's body.

These Black Rod can disrupt the enemy's Chakra. Minato Namikaze's Chakra was out of control, and he couldn't even use the Flying Thunder God.

Madara Uchiha released his Susanoo and arrived directly in front of Minato Namikaze.

His eyes transformed from the Rinnegan back into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, and he stared directly at Minato Namikaze.

The next moment, Minato Namikaze formed several hand seals in a daze.

The hand seals that Minato Namikaze used were the same hand seals that Obito Uchiha before releasing the Impure World Reincarnation.

The scene of Obito Uchiha Hand Seals to release the Impure World Reincarnation technique when he was captured by Hinata did not escape Madara Uchiha's notice.

Minato Namikaze was freed from the Black Rod's restraints only when his Reanimated Body dissipated.

Before leaving, he gave Madara Uchiha smile and said nothing.
