Decisive Battle IV

After Izumi Uchiha accepted the Yin Power given by the Sage of Six Paths, Yichen was overjoyed.

He immediately spoke on behalf of Izumi Uchiha, saying, "Thank you, Uncle-Master. Please Uncle-Master assured, our Iwagakure, as the number one Great Ninja Village in the Ninja World, always keeps its word."

"Since we've accepted your mission, we'll definitely complete it! I guarantee I'll deal with Kaguya promptly."

"Furthermore, after sealing Kaguya, we will voluntarily return the Yin Power to you!"

Although the Sage of Six Paths' expression did not change significantly, Yichen could sense that his anger had subsided slightly.

On the other side, Madara Uchiha's expression was extremely grim!

Yichen actually got the Sage of Six Paths for free? Is that even possible? Madara Uchiha couldn't accept it!

At this moment, Madara Uchiha understood somewhat how Yichen became Sage, and how Yichen had cultivated so many Sages.

It's all thanks to getting it for free!

He toiled his whole life, feigning death and waiting in vain, before finally evolving his eyes into the Rinnegan.

He risked his life to snatch food from the jaws of the Sage of Six Paths and steal Sasuke's eyes, thus achieving the Six Tomoe Rinnegan.

As a result, Yichen helped Izumi Uchiha obtain the Yin Power from the Sage of Six Paths simply by talking!

No wonder the Iwa ninja Sage all have such poor fighting skills; their power definitely wasn't acquired through training!

Without comparison, there is no harm; comparing the two, Madara Uchiha's mentality began to crumble!

After the Sage of Six Paths handed over the Yin Power to Izumi Uchiha, he disappeared and left.

This time, however, Yichen's red Six Tomoe Rinnegan forehead clearly saw the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' actions; he had indeed left through spatial travel.

Unlike Sasuke and Sokai, the Sage of Six Paths did not need to open Space-Time Door.

Perhaps because the Sage of Six Paths was merely a spirit, he was able to travel directly between two spaces without connecting them.

It's somewhat similar to the Flying Thunder God, but clearly more advanced, because the Flying Thunder God requires coordinates, Sage of Six Paths obviously doesn't.

Having acquired the Six Tomoe Rinnegan, Yichen also gained power related to space.

Although Yichen cannot yet use these powers, he can still sense them.

Yichen mentally assessed the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' mastery of Space-Time Ninjutsu and began to consider how to deal with him if the two sides were enemies.

After the Sage of Six Paths left, Izumi Uchiha flew back to Yichen and the others with a joyful expression.

She touched her Six Tomoe Rinnegan and asked Yichen, "Lord Tsuchikage, when are we going to seal Kaguya?"

Yichen rolled his eyes and said, "Silly girl, what's the rush?"

"The longer the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Yin Power stays in your body, the more beneficial it will be to you. Why are you in such a hurry to use up the Yin Power?"

Izumi Uchiha:...

Everyone:...

Didn't you say you wanted to seal Kaguya?

Yichen ignored these honest people and turned to look at Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha his eyes. Although his body didn't move, he immediately prepared for battle.

However, Yichen showed no intention of making a move.

Yichen said to Madara Uchiha, "Madara-senpai, you've seen our situation."

"The Sage of Six Paths' family now all-powerful, Kaguya is going to overthrow Sage of Six Paths rule!"

"We're basically working for the Sage of Six Paths."

"However, I think Madara-senpai must have seen through my thoughts."

"That's right, I need to keep a bandit in order to enhance my own prestige!"

"I will definitely deal with Kaguya, but the Sage of Six Paths hasn't specified when."

"Similarly, he didn't say whether we absolutely had to use our precious Yin Power."

"I think if Madara-senpai could defeat and devour Kaguya before I seal Kaguya, or absorb the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path within her, he would be able to do so."

"Then we can retain the Yin Power for the time being!"

"Moreover, in order to let us deal with Madara-senpai, he might offer some other benefits."

Yichen didn't say what he was going to say next, but Madara Uchiha understood.

Yichen wanted him to take the lead, to deal with Kaguya, and then devour Kaguya to become the next Kaguya.

In this way, Yichen doesn't have to do anything to fulfill the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' request.

Moreover, with himself becoming the next Kaguya, Yichen would still be useful to the Sage of Six Paths of Sage of Six Paths, and he might even be able to gain greater benefits from him!

Madara Uchiha felt a surge of anger; Yichen was clearly trying to use him!

But upon further reflection, Madara Uchiha stopped being angry.

His original plan was to first seize the power of Sasuke and Kaguya, and then defeat Yichen and the Sage of Six Paths!

Now that Sasuke's power is in his hands, his next target is naturally Kaguya.

At the same time, Madara Uchiha was confident that once he devoured Kaguya, Yichen and the others, or even the Sage of Six Paths, he would not be afraid.

Madara Uchiha had confidence in himself!

Having fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, his understanding of power is unmatched by anyone else.

Madara Uchiha believed that once he possessed the true power of Kekkei Mōra, he could defeat anyone, including the Sage of Six Paths!

The only thing he lacks right now is a large amount of Chakra that can help him complete his transformation.

I have already experienced the state of Kekkei Mōra, although only for a moment.

However, Madara Uchiha believed that as long as a large amount of Chakra was injected, he would definitely be able to truly reach that level.

Madara Uchiha is gone. Having obtained Sasuke's Rinnegan, he also gained abilities related to Space-Time.

Madara Uchiha's understanding of power is indeed far superior to Yichen's. It's only been a short time since he transplanted Sasuke's eyes, yet he's already able to open Space-Time Door!

First, he has to retrieve the several Limbo Clones that Sasuke had previously banished, and then he has to figure out a way to defeat and devour Kaguya!

Moreover, this step must be achieved before Yichen completely digests the Yin Power!

In an instant, only Yichen six companions remained in this cold, snowy world.

Seeing that Madara Uchiha left, Neji looked at Yichen and asked, "Teacher Yichen, what do we do next?"

Yichen said, "Comprehending the Yin Power of the Sage of Six Paths! This is a valuable resource for cultivation!"

"In recent years, everyone has been too focused on taking shortcuts. Solidifying the foundation and practicing diligently are the ways to improve our strength and go further."

"We all need to take some time to process what we've gained; this Yin Power can help us shorten the time required!"

Izumi Uchiha obtained the Yin Power of the Sage of Six Paths, Yichen naturally couldn't waste it; he had to put this power to use.

This Yin Power could allow Sasuke to become Sage, and it could also upgrade Izumi Uchiha's Rinnegan.

This demonstrates its significant role.

Of everyone present, apart from Yichen, the others had become Sage through Yin Release or their eyes.

This is good for everyone.

Yichen himself is actually Sage specializing in Yin Release; Yichen is a dual Sage of both body and soul.

Yichen should also be able to learn something from the Yin Power of the Sage of Six Paths.

Thus, while Naruto was being chased and fleeing by Kaguya, while Madara Uchiha was preparing to deal with Kaguya, and while the Sage of Six Paths was waiting for Yichen move.

Yichen, however, led his men back to the Ninja World and began to comprehend the Yin Power outside the Iwagakure!

During this period, the strength of Shion, Yichen, Nagato, and Izumi Uchiha all improved significantly.

Neji and Sokai also made significant progress after absorbing the Chakra transformed from Kaguya's body on the moon.

Everyone needs time to process what they've learned!

Unlike Naruto and Sasuke, who have past lives and combat experience with Asura and Indra, the others can master their new powers well in the process of fighting, as long as they don't die.

However, Yichen and the others did not have this ability.

Izumi Uchiha transferred the Yin Power from his left hand to everyone in the form of Chakra, allowing them to experience it together.

At the same time, she also controlled the Yin Power to enter her right eye, nourishing the Rinnegan in her right eye.

In the original work, Sasuke's right eye was always just the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.

It's because after he obtained the Yin Power, he was busy fighting against Madara Uchiha and Kaguya.

Afterwards, all the Yin Power was used to seal Kaguya.

Therefore, only his left eye truly benefited; his right eye did not evolve.

But how could someone as skilled at taking advantage of loopholes as Yichen waste such an opportunity!

In addition to having Izumi Uchiha use Yin Power to nourish his right eye and enabling the six people to comprehend Yin Power, Yichen also summoned a group of Kage Level ninja from Iwagakure.

Of course, we should find a way to ensure that the entire village benefits from such a good thing.

If it weren't for the concern about affecting Izumi Uchiha, Yichen would have liked to gather a group of Elite Jonin.

The Great Toad Sage puppet lay on the ground, with Izumi Uchiha in the middle of its back.

Yichen, Neji, Nagato, Sakae, and Shion sat in a circle around Uchiha Izumi.

Surrounding the group, a larger circle was formed by sixteen people: Ōnoki, Ikura, Kawakita, Kitsuchi, Deidara, Matsutani Shinya Uzumaki Riori, Natsuki, Deidara, Yuki Haku, Minazuki Shiro, Kurotsuchi, Uzumaki Karin, Kurama Bayun Konan, Sakura, Yahiko, and Konan.

The group sat together in three layers, carefully experiencing the special effects of the Sage of Six Paths's Yin Power.

Yichen multitasked, simultaneously comprehending the Yin Power and exploring the function of the red Six Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead.

Although Yichen knew some ninjutsu derived from the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, this was the first time he had directly mastered a true eye technique.

So Yichen was also quite curious, and he tried out all the known Dōjutsu one by one!

The first Dōjutsu that Yichen obtained was the Dōjutsu that allowed him to travel through space.

Perhaps it was an obsession formed in his previous life, Yichen has always been bothered by Space-Time Ninjutsu such as Flying Thunder God and Kamui.

Therefore, driven by this deep-seated obsession, the first Dōjutsu Yichen mastered was space travel.

Unfortunately, after testing, Yichen discovered that his Six Tomoe Rinnegan only had the ability to open Space-Time Door, but lacked teleportation Dōjutsu like Amenotejikara!

Perhaps under the influence of Yin Power, Yichen's second Dōjutsu is related to the soul, and is Soul Imprisonment similar to the Sokai Dōjutsu.

Yichen mastered these two Dōjutsu faster than he expected, but the other Dōjutsu were not so easy to master.

Yichen then calmed down and began to study the Kekkei Mōra level Chakra within his body, which was obtained from the fusion of the Nine Little Tailed Beasts.

Perhaps it was a placebo effect, or perhaps it really was the Yin Power in Izumi Uchiha's hands that took effect.

Yichen felt that he was also merging the Seven Attributes Chakra faster.

Yichen had previously determined that the Sage level to advance further and ultimately become Kekkei Mōra was to gradually fuse Seven Attributes.

However, Yichen's mastery of Yang Release is not high. Unless he is given hundreds or even thousands of years, he will never be able to advance to the Kekkei Mōra.

To put it bluntly, Yichen's talent has already reached its limit, and it's difficult for him to go any further.

Fortunately, Yichen decisively absorbed the Nine Little Tailed Beasts this time, forming a new Tailed Beast similar to the Ten-Tails within his body.

With the readily available Kekkei Mōra Chakra of the Little Ten-Tails, Yichen's training speed naturally increased.

Now, with the help of the Yin Power the Sage of Six Paths, this fusion cultivation is even smoother.

Half a day later, when Chiga came to report that there was a new development, Yichen had already successfully converted his small amount of Chakra into Kekkei Mōra Chakra!

It's a pity he lacks Yang Power; otherwise, Yichen might already be a true Kekkei Mōra.

However, Yichen was not discouraged. The first strand of the seven elemental Chakra he had fused had been generated, and his cultivation had entered the right track!

While Yichen and the others were quietly sensing the Yin Power, Madara Uchiha arrived at the space where his several Limbo Clones were located.

He pulled out the Black Rod that Naruto used to hold his clone in place and successfully retrieved the Limbo Clone.

Madara Uchiha didn't go looking for trouble with Kaguya directly; instead, he thoughtfully picked up the three Black Rod from the ground.

These three Black Rod are different from the Black Rod that Madara Uchiha used to imprison Hashirama Senju.

This was made by Naruto using Truth-Seeking Orb; its grade is much higher than Madara Uchiha's Black Rod.

Madara Uchiha recalled that when the Sage of Six Paths appeared, he was holding a long black scepter, which should also have been transformed from Truth-Seeking Orb.

So Madara Uchiha calmed down and carefully examined the three Black Rod.

There's a reason why the Truth-Seeking Orb can be considered a symbol of Kekkei Mōra level.

Because it is itself formed by the fusion of Seven Attributes: Yin, Yang, Fenghuo, Thunder, Water, and Earth.

When Madara Uchiha first fused his and Sasuke's Rinnegan, Zeng Zai experienced the feeling of being instantly Kekkei Mōra.

So even though he hadn't reached that level, and even though he didn't have Yin Power as a medium, he still learned a lot from the Truth-Seeking Orb.

Madara Uchiha's understanding of Ninjutsu and power was undoubtedly very profound. For a considerable period of time, Yichen used Madara Uchiha's insights as his training manual.

Therefore, with three Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb as templates, Madara Uchiha, after a period of experimentation, successfully converted his small amount of Chakra into Kekkei Mōra- Chakra, just like Yichen!

However, Madara Uchiha knew that time was not on his side; he had to hurry and devour Kaguya.

Therefore, after generating the first Kekkei Mōra Chakra, Madara Uchiha decisively went to find Naruto and Kaguya.

In the desert world of Kaguya -Yomotsu Hirasaka: Yomi no Hirasaka.

Poor Naruto, he was chased and beaten by Kaguya for most of the day.

The intense fighting continued non-stop throughout the day.

Aside from a few reckless counterattacks in the early stages, Naruto spent most of his time escaping using the Multiple Shadow Clones.

Fortunately, Naruto's enemy was Kaguya, who also lacked combat talent. Unlike Sasuke, who was completely overwhelmed by Madara Uchiha.

Many of the things Naruto learned at the Ninja Academy and under Kakashi's tutelage could be used to deal with Kaguya.

Even in terms of pure combat skills, although the two are both novice fighters, Naruto is still superior to Kaguya.

Naruto simply lacked a decisive move to defeat Kaguya, which was why he had no way to deal with her.

However, Kaguya was able to kill Naruto instantly with the All-Killing Ash Bones technique.

Therefore, Naruto was at a disadvantage throughout this unfair battle.

Naruto originally had nine Truth-Seeking Orbs, but he used three of them to deal with Madara Uchiha Limbo Clone.

The remaining six Truth-Seeking Orb Kaguya the battle that lasted most of the day.

But Naruto did not give up; he was still waiting for Sasuke to arrive.

He believed that Sasuke, who shared the same mission as him, would definitely come and help him seal Kaguya.

Sure enough, after half a day of pursuit, someone finally arrived in this world.

Naruto was overjoyed and immediately shouted towards the Space-Time Door, "Sasuke!"

But the person who entered was not his Sasuke, but Madara Uchiha.

Naruto paused for a moment, then instinctively asked, "Madara Uchiha? Where's Sasuke?"

Kaguya also looked at Madara Uchiha, her brows furrowed. Madara Uchiha gave her a stronger feeling than Naruto.

One Naruto was already keeping her busy, and now with another Madara Uchiha, she doesn't know what to do.

Kaguya's condition wasn't actually as good as she appeared.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path inside her, also known as the Ten-Tails, is not complete; there are still three and a half Tailed Beast that haven't been retrieved!

She also had to focus on suppressing the unstable power within her body!

Madara Uchiha glanced at Kaguya's red Nine Tomoe Rinnegan forehead, a glint of greed in his eyes.

This eye has Nine magatama. Judging from the feeling he had when he fused with Sasuke's Rinnegan, a stable Nine Tomoe Rinnegan should be the mark of Kekkei Mōra.

This further solidified Madara Uchiha's resolve to steal Kaguya's eyes.

However, Naruto remains an unstable element in this space.

Madara Uchiha recalled Yichen's previous actions: using someone else to do his dirty work.

So he said to Kaguya, "Kaguya Otsutsuki, your son, the Sage of Six Paths, is outside. He has arranged for two people to deal with us."

"I've already killed Sasuke Uchiha. I suggest we join forces to kill Naruto Uzumaki first."

"Then we'll deal with the Sage of Six Paths together."

"I know you want the Nine-Tails Chakra from Naruto Uzumaki. I'll give you the Nine-Tails Chakra after I kill Naruto, but I want a portion of his Yang Power."

Kaguya didn't understand this kind of compromise, so she remained silent and handed the negotiation over to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu peeked out from Kaguya's sleeve, staring at Madara Uchiha's Six Tomoe Rinnegan in thought for a moment.

Madara Uchiha knew Black Zetsu than anyone else; Madara Uchiha was completely manipulated by Black Zetsu during his lifetime.

Little did Black Zetsu know that during the half-day he spent entangled with Kaguya and Naruto, Madara Uchiha was taught a lesson by Yichen.

Black Zetsu still believed that Madara Uchiha was a stubborn idiot who wore his arrogance on his face.

Madara Uchiha is already trying to solve the problem using strategy.

However, Madara Uchiha himself didn't realize that it was precisely this mindset that caused his strength to decline imperceptibly!

Black Zetsu then said, "Since Lord Madara wants to cooperate, that's perfect. However, after killing Naruto, my mother must absorb the Chakra first!"

Madara Uchiha stared expressionlessly at Black Zetsu. He barely restrained himself from instantly killing the man who had deceived him his entire life, and said in a cold voice, "Fine!"

Black Zetsu is now protected by his mother and is not afraid of Madara Uchiha. He is completely unconcerned about the hatred Madara Uchiha shows.

Black Zetsu Kaguya said, "Mother, let's cooperate with him. We should definitely deal with the Sage of Six Paths first."

Kaguya didn't say anything; she rushed towards Naruto first.

The two formed an alliance in front of Naruto, but Naruto didn't care. At that moment, only one sentence echoed in his mind.

It's the line Madara Uchiha just said to Kaguya, "Sasuke Uchiha has been killed by me!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto was immediately alarmed, and in the next instant, a layer of orange-red Chakra appeared on his Naruto.

Nine thick tails formed a cape-like shape behind Naruto, and eye markings resembling the Nine-Tails appeared on Naruto's face.

If Yichen were here, he would definitely recognize it as Baryon Mode that burns life.

Baryon Mode is even more advanced than Kurama Mode; this technique forcibly combines the Chakra of Naruto and Nine-Tails.

The price was burning away the Nine-Tails' life force.

Unlike the original manga where Naruto used this technique, this time Naruto only had half of the Nine-Tails inside him, which meant that Naruto's sustained combat ability would be very short.

However, Naruto now possesses the Yang Power!

The Yang Power was already fused with Naruto's Chakra Fusion, and now it's fused with Nine-Tails's Chakra Fusion again, causing Naruto's level to directly reach the level of Kekkei Mōra.

Completely enraged, Naruto disregarded all defense and lunged directly at Madara Uchiha.

Sasuke is dead, so what's the point of me living?

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto sighed inwardly, "Alas, in Naruto's heart, I still can't compare to Sasuke!"

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly. What was going on? How did his first attempt at forming an alliance attract Naruto's hatred?

Kaguya is charging at you, why are you attacking me instead of fighting her?

Although Madara Uchiha sensed Naruto's power at that moment, he did not hesitate and went to meet him head-on.

Winning over allies is already the limit of what I can do; it's impossible for me to back down completely.

Bang bang bang bang~

As soon as the two approached, they engaged in a rapid exchange of blows, with Madara Uchiha being forced to retreat steadily by Naruto.

This was the first time since Madara Uchiha's resurrection that he felt his power was inferior to his opponent's!

Madara Uchiha was not a brute; he always made up for his lack of strength with skill.

However, Naruto in Baryon Mode is not only incredibly strong, but also incredibly fast, surpassing Madara Uchiha in every aspect.

Although Naruto's fighting skills were lacking, his extreme speed and immense strength allowed him to maintain a firm advantage.

This perfectly illustrates the saying, "Speed is the only way to win, and brute force can overcome any technique!"

Boom!!!

After more than a dozen exchanges, Naruto finally found an opening and delivered a powerful punch to Madara Uchiha's abdomen, sending him flying several kilometers away.
