Decisive Battle I

While the Sage of Six Paths helped Naruto, Sasuke, and Hinata advance to the Sage level, Yichen was helping Nagato quickly master the Dōjutsu of the Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead.

Chiga, who had been idly standing by, seemed to sense something. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he said, "Teacher Yichen, something's wrong!"

Yichen and the others stopped their discussion and looked at her curiously.

Chiga closed his eyes and carefully sensed for a moment, then said, "Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha been resurrected. Judging from their Chakra fluctuations, they have already become Sage."

"Furthermore, Hinata Hyuga has also become Sage!"

Chiga had been monitoring Hyuga, Uzumaki, and Uchiha, so she quickly noticed the changes in the Naruto.

The Sage's Soul fluctuation were extremely intense, Chiga was able to grasp the situation immediately through Blood Sense.

Chiga did not report that Naruto and Sasuke had just been resurrected and become Sage, because this was something Yichen had already anticipated.

However, Hinata becoming Sage was an unexpected turn of events.

The others were all taken aback upon hearing this.

Nagato, Yahiko, Konan didn't understand how Chiga had learned this information, but they all found it somewhat unbelievable.

Is becoming Sage so easy?

Nagato, in particular, was able to Sage thanks to the immense Chakra Dragon Vein.

Moreover, Nagato knew that if he hadn't possessed the exceptional Uzumaki bloodline and had been nourished by the Rinnegan for a considerable period of time, he would have been in a very difficult situation.

He also received transplants of the First Hokage's Cells and the Byakugan from the Hyuga Clan.

He could never become Sage!

He had so many prerequisites to become Sage by sheer luck; what about Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata?

Moreover, judging from Chiga's words, these three became Sage at the same time!

Neji and the others had already heard Yichen mention the relationship between Naruto, Sasuke, and the Sage of Six Paths, so although they were somewhat surprised by their advancement, their expressions remained relatively normal.

They also knew that Yichen was waiting for Madara Uchiha to deplete Naruto and Sasuke's power.

People with high intelligence like Neji and Izumi Uchiha even guessed that Yichen was using Madara Uchiha to deplete the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' power.

But none of them expected Hinata to advance; Yichen hadn't mentioned that.

So everyone looked at Yichen, their eyes filled with both inquiry and anticipation for his decision.

Yichen frowned slightly as well. How did Hinata advance? Yichen thought for a while but still couldn't figure it out.

So Yichen stopped thinking about this pointless question and started thinking about how to change the current situation.

Madara Uchiha has a high chance of winning against two opponents, but Yichen thinks it's a bit risky against three.

In this life, Madara Uchiha hadn't even fully gathered Nine Great Tailed Beasts yet. Because of his own butterfly effect, Madara Uchiha was ultimately killed by Naruto.

Yichen felt it wasn't very safe to face Naruto and Sasuke, who hadn't even used their Six Paths Power.

We can no longer sit idly by and watch the tigers fight; we have to do something!

Various thoughts raced through Yichen's mind, his eyes gleaming, and finally he made up his mind.

Yichen raised his head and said to Chiga, "Chiga, guide the way for Sokai, we're going to Mount Myōboku!"

Everyone was somewhat confused. Why were there three more Sage on the battlefield of the Land of Water, and why was Yichen suddenly going to Mount Myōboku? What was the connection between the two?

However, although everyone had some doubts, no one questioned Yichen's decision.

On the battlefield in the Land of Water, Madara Uchiha launched repeated attacks on Naruto, Sasuke, Hinata, but with little success.

Naruto and his two friends are classmates and have been carrying out missions together since the formation of Team Seven.

All three graduated early and have made it to where they are today in Fenghuo. They know each other very well and work together with exceptional chemistry.

After the initial discomfort, the three of them actually got better and better at fighting and gradually became familiar with the battle at the Sage level.

Especially after Sasuke and Hinata became more and more proficient in using their Dōjutsu, the three of them even began to develop a certain fighting style.

Therefore, even though Madara Uchiha was experienced in battle, he was unable to defeat the three of them working together.

Most importantly, Madara Uchiha's Limbo Clone could not escape the eyes or senses of the three.

Since his Rinnegan Dōjutsu lacked any special abilities for sneak attacks, the battle gradually shifted from a one-sided affair to a stalemate.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha hesitated, wondering whether he should ignore the three for now and complete the revival of the God Tree and the Moon Eye Plan first.

The stone tablet records the method to Nine Tomoe Rinnegan. If one possesses such an eye, perhaps one's strength can be enhanced once again!

Madara Uchiha hesitated not because he was afraid of Naruto and his two companions, but because he was worried that Yichen and the others would be able to attack him from a distance.

Judging from the fact that Yichen just asked Fugaku Uchiha to remind him, it can be inferred that the Iwa ninja must have won the Moon War.

Although he didn't know why Yichen and the others hadn't come to attack, Madara Uchiha's sense of urgency was still very obvious.

Boom!

Sasuke Susanoo to block Madara Uchiha's Susanoo attack, while Naruto seized the opportunity to use a Truth-Seeking Orb Black Rod to immobilize a Limbo Clone.

This is already the third Limbo Clone he has subdued, and the balance of the battle is tilting in Naruto's and his companions' favor.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path tried to step forward, but Hinata forced it back with a single, Empty Palm strike.

Ignoring the Limbo Clone Madara Uchiha quickly closed in on Sasuke Uchiha, whom he had just knocked away, and slammed a heavy punch down on him.

But the moment he slammed down, Sasuke vanished before him, and he only managed to hit a piece of rubble.

Madara Uchiha's face darkened. Given the initial situation, Sasuke shouldn't have been able to react so quickly.

However, as the battle continued Sasuke became increasingly proficient in using the Rinnegan Dojutsu.

After disappearing from Madara Uchiha's sight, Sasuke appeared directly next to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which Naruto had just immobilized.

He quickly opened a Space-Time Door using his Rinnegan, and Naruto deftly threw the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path into it.

Madara Uchiha didn't try to salvage the situation because he knew Naruto would definitely stop him from getting close to the Space-Time Door.

I've already tried; I can't possibly defeat Naruto quickly enough before Sasuke banishes his Limbo Clone.

Furthermore, he was also worried about what would happen if he risked entering the Space-Time Door and got trapped inside.

Madara Uchiha glanced at Naruto and Sasuke standing together.

Then he rushed towards Hinata was alone in front of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

However, Sasuke has Amenotejikara, Hinata can become invisible!

Furthermore, Hinata's ability underwent a qualitative change after becoming Sage.

Originally, Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan could clearly detect Hinata was invisible, but now, as long as Hinata doesn't use too much Chakra, Madara Uchiha can't find her.

Hinata has used this ability to escape from Madara Uchiha on multiple occasions.

This time was no exception; before Madara Uchiha could even get close, Hinata vanished from everyone's sight.

Madara Uchiha used his Rinnegan. At first, he could barely catch a glimpse of Hinata, but he quickly lost her.

Madara Uchiha recalled his last Limbo Clone, preparing to launch another attack.

Just then, a voice suddenly entered his ears.

"Madara Uchiha- senpai, my teacher, the Lord Tsuchikage, asked me to tell you that we have a common enemy: the Sage of Six Paths."

"He's willing to join forces with you!"

Madara Uchiha straightened up after leaning slightly forward, turning his head to look at the Iwa ninja who had been watching the battle from a distance.

Under Sakura's control Fugaku Uchiha continued, "Our teacher said he can help you take care of one of the three."

"Even in critical moments, the teacher can help you stop the Sage of Six Paths from interfering for a short period of time."

Madara Uchiha, and he began to weigh the pros and cons, as well as Yichen's purpose in doing so.

Madara Uchiha could confirm one thing: if Yichen said that, it meant he was now free to participate in the battle here.

Before Madara Uchiha could figure things out and make a decision, something unexpected happened!

A Space-Time Door suddenly appeared beside Hinata had just emerged from stealth.

Hinata reacted quickly, leaping away from the Space-Time Door.

At the same time, she subconsciously looked inside the Space-Time Door.

That one glance took her by surprise!

The raised platforms in that space opposite are none other than Obito Uchiha Kamui Space!

That's not the most crucial point. The crucial point is that she saw at least four or five people in the Space-Time Door whose auras were no weaker than hers.

Before she could even react to what was happening, she felt a blur before her eyes and a sharp pain in them.

Not good!

Hinata quickly closed her eyes, blocking Izumi Uchiha's gaze!

In any case, her Jōgan evolved from the Byakugan, perfectly preserving Byakugan abilities.

Although my eyes were closed, my vision was not affected at all.

Hinata, with her eyes closed, was about to escape when Yichen, Neji, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, Shion, and Nagato burst out of the Space-Time Door.

Shion's Miko Power spread rapidly, instantly sealing off this small area of the battlefield.

Nagato activated the spatial power of his Tomoe Rinnegan, shaking the surroundings. This prevented Hinata from escaping using any spatial abilities she might have, and also blocked Sasuke from using Amenotejikara to reinforce them.

Izumi Uchiha had just used Dōjutsu on Hinata that absorbed her eye power and restricted her vision.

She's still keeping a close eye on Hinata's eyes. Once Hinata opens them, she'll use her Dōjutsu again to interfere with Hinata's Jōgan.

Although Izumi Uchiha's two Dōjutsu were not strong, with so many people surrounding Hinata, as long as they could distract Hinata even slightly, it would be enough for Yichen and the others to secure victory.

Without using any special abilities, Yichen and Neji bypassed Hinata from both sides, blocking her escape route before engaging her in close combat.

Naruto and Sasuke, who were some distance away, only then realized that Hinata had been ambushed.

Sasuke's left Rinnegan flashed, attempting to use Amenotejikara to switch Hinata with him.

However, although Hinata was in his sight, the space between them fluctuated violently, making it impossible for him to accurately target Amenotejikara with his Hinata.

Naruto wanted to rush in for close combat, but Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment and then blocked Naruto's path.

Boom!

In his haste, Naruto immediately entered Kurama Mode and delivered a powerful blow directly to Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo.

Caught off guard, Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo was forced to take a step back by this attack.

Madara Uchiha was initially surprised, then enraged. He had actually been defeated by Naruto, a junior?

His original intention was simply to stall Naruto and see what Yichen was planning.

He suddenly felt he had lost face, so he controlled his Susanoo to pounce on Naruto.

Sasuke feared that Naruto was in danger, and also felt that even if he rushed over, he couldn't save Hinata, so Susanoo to help Naruto!

The Allied forces, who were also watching from a distance, rushed over to help Hinata when they saw Hinata suddenly attacked.

However, Sakura, who was prepared, controlled a group of Reanimated Body to stop them.

Although she knew that it wouldn't make any difference if these people participated in that Sage War, Sakura still didn't want to add any variables to Yichen.

The allied forces were stopped halfway through their charge.

After two major battles against Iwa ninja and Madara Uchiha, the allied forces were already short of manpower.

The main force went to fight Madara Uchiha again, leaving only Kushina Uzumaki, Karatachi Yagura, Kisame, and Mei Terumi!

Including Kabuto Yakushi, who was summoned by Hashirama Senju Yakushi to help, there were only five people.

On the other hand, the Iwa ninja still had more than ten people!

Kisame and his group were easily stopped by the Iwa ninja.

Hashirama Senju was incredibly powerful and was given special attention; a large portion of the Iwa ninja were trying to stop him.

Only one person, for reasons unknown, easily broke through the barrier of the Iwa ninja Impure World Reincarnation army!

This person was none other than the Fourth Mizukage Karatachi Yagura.

On the Allied Forces' side, Karatachi Yagura is quite strong. He is Kage Level Jinchuriki, making him second only to the main characters and two Kage.

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha had already obtained the complete Three-Tails from Ao's body, so he was not interested in Karatachi Yagura, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

So Karatachi Yagura has been jumping around like this ever since.

Feeling that he had narrowly escaped the encirclement, Karatachi Yagura didn't think much of it and rushed towards Yichen and the others without stopping.

Hinata had only been Sage for a short time, and her mastery of power was not as good as Yichen and the others. Yichen and the others were also aware of the Dōjutsu she possessed and had made preparations in advance.

Therefore, Hinata suffered a series of heavy blows right from the start.

With a series of sharp cracks, Neji and Yichen worked together to force Hinata to retreat involuntarily towards the Space-Time Door.

Hinata realized something was wrong and quickly used her Wheel Rotation Like Intent to try and drive away Yichen and Neji.

However, Yichen's side was prepared for this move.

Yichen, Neji, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, and Nagato simultaneously reached out their hands to Hinata.

Shinra Tensei!

Banshō Ten'in!

Wheel Rotation Like Intent!

Based on their positions, the five people simultaneously exerted either attraction or repulsion on Hinata.

The combined efforts of the five directly overwhelmed Hinata's hastily executed Wheel Rotation Like Intent.

As expected, Hinata was blasted into the Space-Time Door that Hayate had opened Sokai by a series of invisible forces.

After Hinata was thrown into the Space-Time Door, Yichen and the others also flew in one after another.

However, before flying into the space, Yichen, the last to enter, casually used the Myriad Banshō Ten'in to pull the charging Karatachi Yagura into his hand.

Despite possessing Kage Level strength and being Jinchuriki, Karatachi Yagura was no match for Yichen and was Yichen in the blink of an eye.

Yichen, carrying the short body of Karatachi Yagura, entered the Space-Time Door without the slightest hesitation.

As Yichen and Karatachi Yagura entered the Space-Time Door, Space-Time Door quickly closed, and everything returned to calm.

The Iwa ninja Reanimated Body that had been blocking the Allied Forces retreated back to their previous observation area.

Seeing Madara Uchiha exchanged a few Sasuke Naruto also withdrawing from the fight.

His Rinnegan in the direction where Yichen and the others had disappeared, as if trying to see through space to discern Yichen's scheme.

Yichen and the others arrived suddenly and left quickly, leaving everyone with the illusion that what had just happened was just a hallucination.

It seems that Yichen didn't bring anyone with him, and Hinata simply disappeared.

No matter how absurd everyone's ideas may be, the fact remains: Hinata, who had just become Sage and was even Madara Uchiha, was captured by Yichen and his Hinata in the blink of an eye.

Although everyone knows Hinata is very strong, everyone just saw the power that Yichen displayed – a full six Sages.

Therefore, no one thought Hinata could survive being surrounded by so many Sages.

It was only then that everyone realized what was happening and gasped in shock.

"Six!" Kisame muttered to himself, his expression blank.

The Iwa ninja have actually managed to gather six Sages?!

Keep in mind that the one fighting so fiercely here is only four Sages!

The Iwa ninja family alone exceeds the combined total of both sides on their side!

Even if you add Orochimaru, there still aren't as many Iwa ninja as there are!

Now that Hinata has been suddenly captured, the Iwa ninja have an even greater numerical advantage.

Even if Madara Uchiha, and Naruto teamed Sasuke, it would still be a six-on-three situation for the Iwa ninja, giving them a complete numerical advantage.

But will Madara Uchiha team up with Naruto and Sasuke?

Kisame looked at Madara Uchiha, then shook his head.

He had also heard Fugaku Uchiha's shout to Madara Uchiha.

He heard the Sage of Six Paths.

Although it's unclear why the Iwa ninja and Madara Uchiha want to fight the Sage of Six Paths, and why the Sage of Six Paths, as a mythical figure, would be involved in the current battle.

However, Kisame knew that Madara Uchiha would not choose to join forces with them.

As expected, after thinking for a while, Madara Uchiha still controlled Susanoo rush towards Naruto and Sasuke.

Madara Uchiha stopped after taking only one step.

Madara Uchiha, standing inside the Perfect Susanoo, turned to look at the Iwa ninja.

Kisame followed Madara Uchiha's gaze and looked in that direction.

Then he gaped open in disbelief!

Under the watchful eyes of Kisame and the others, the dozen or so Reanimated Body of the Iwa ninja suddenly began to glow!

This scene looked familiar to Kisame; it was clearly a phenomenon that only occurred when the Reanimated Body was dispelled.

Did the Iwa ninja release their Reanimated Body? Why?

Mei Terumi, Kushina Uzumaki, Hashirama Senju, Naruto, Sasuke the same question.

However, Madara Uchiha was solemn. Although he still couldn't sense anything, he knew that the Iwa ninja hadn't deliberately canceled the Impure World Reincarnation.

Instead, it was the Sage of Six Paths had been hiding in the shadows who made his move.

On one side are the six Sages of Iwa ninja, and on the other is the unfathomable Sage of Six Paths.

Madara Uchiha suddenly felt that although he had become Sage and his strength had reached an unprecedented level, the hope of his Moon Eye Plan succeeding seemed to be getting slimmer and slimmer.

"Nagato?" Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha felt a pang of regret; he should have killed Nagato just now. He never expected Nagato to become Sage in the blink of an eye!

Moreover, judging from the aura displayed by Yichen and the other six, Nagato's strength after becoming Sage should not be weak among the six!

This is actually quite normal. The reason why Madara Uchiha was able to fight against Naruto and his two companions was because his strength improved step by step.

Although Nagato was not as good as Madara Uchiha, he spent a long time at the Kage Level Super Kage-level, and his basic strength was very solid.

Therefore, after advancing, Nagato's strength was still above that of Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, and others.

Turning to look at Naruto and Sasuke, Madara Uchiha's fighting spirit inevitably waned somewhat.

But when his gaze fell upon Hashirama Senju, all his hesitation and doubt vanished, leaving only unwavering resolve.

I must let Hashirama know that I am right, and that only I can bring peace to the Ninja World!

Madara Uchiha was able to rekindle his fighting spirit and charge at the enemy again, but one person was so frightened that he almost despaired.

That person was Black Zetsu, who was equally surprised when Black Zetsu Yichen and the others appeared.

Yichen defeated Orochimaru so quickly? What happened to Mother? Did she escape, get sealed away, or didn't she even have a chance to possess Orochimaru?

Although Black Zetsu left a small part of his body on Orochimaru, it was too far away for him to sense what was happening on the moon.

Black Zetsu only knew that part of his body had disappeared.

If the appearance of the six Sages on Yichen's side only shocked Black Zetsu, then when the Sage of Six Paths released the numerous Reanimated Body of the Iwa ninja, Black Zetsu truly despaired.

The Sage of Six Paths is nearby!

Under these circumstances, would Madara Uchiha still have a chance to absorb the God Tree?

Even if Madara Uchiha absorbed the God Tree, could he still revive his mother?

Even if I resurrect my mother, can she win when the Sage of Six Paths intervenes?

This time, Black Zetsu didn't flee thousands of miles away; he stayed on the edge of the battlefield.

Black Zetsu White Zetsu clone, sometimes looking at Madara Uchiha, sometimes at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path controlled by Madara Uchiha, his expression very conflicted.

Should we risk a surprise attack on Madara Uchiha now? But he hasn't even absorbed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path yet; isn't it too early to act?

If the mother were to descend into the body of the current Madara Uchiha, her combat power would likely be insufficient to deal with the Iwa ninja.

Moreover, Naruto and Sasuke also possess the power bestowed upon them by the Sage of Six Paths.

Black Zetsu watched for a long time, then clenched his fist and made up his mind to take the risk!

After Mother possesses Madara Uchiha, it should be enough time to absorb the God Tree!

Just as Black Zetsu White Zetsu about to use the Levitation Jutsu to move to Madara Uchiha's side, the White Zetsu clone suddenly spoke.

The White Zetsu clone exclaimed in surprise, "Black Zetsu, other White Zetsu clone are coming!"

The moment Black Zetsu stopped moving, his first thought was: If a White Zetsu clone comes, so be it. This kind of battle is beyond the reach of White Zetsu clone, so it doesn't matter whether they come or not.

But he quickly realized, weren't all the White Zetsu clone dead?

Over the years, Yichen has repeatedly launched surprise attacks on White Zetsu clone, leaving very few of them remaining.

The remaining White Zetsu clone, together with the White Zetsu main body, used their life force to perform the Rebirth Jutsu, reviving Madara Uchiha.

Logically, there should only be one White Zetsu clone left, the one possessed by Black Zetsu.

I was exhausted from working overtime the past few days and didn't have any updates, sorry!
