Decisive Battle VII

So Yichen said in a deep voice, "I would rather offend you, my Uncle-Master, than not kill Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki."

"Why? Just like you, because I firmly believe that what I'm doing is right."

"I know that Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto are innocent, but I also know that the Chunin than it could in theirs."

"For this, I am willing to stand opposite you, my Uncle-Master!"

Yichen's words forcefully exonerated him!

The Sage of Six Paths was about to disbelieve, but Yichen's eyes at that moment only held the unwavering determination to go even if it meant facing a million men!

After a moment of silence, the Sage of Six Paths said, "Alright, I accept the challenge!"

A Taiseki was lifted off Yichen's shoulders!

It's finally over. After decades of trepidation, I've finally become Sage. The path to Kekkei Mōra is right before me, and since the Sage of Six Paths has agreed to the contest, I'm finally out of danger of death.

It can be said that at this moment, the pressure of the past few decades truly disappeared.

Yichen couldn't help but tilt his head back and let out a long howl!

After calming down, Yichen gestured for Neji to leave, and the Sage of Six Paths also told Naruto and the group of glowing Reanimated Body to leave.

Naruto were clearly shaken, did not do as instructed; he stared blankly at Yichen.

After a while, Naruto asked Yichen, "Why has no one ever told me these truths before?"

Yichen didn't want to waste any more words with Naruto. What if he said too much and made the Sage of Six Paths change his mind again?

With the Sage of Six Paths watching from the sidelines, he couldn't remain silent, so Yichen said, "Everyone knows the truth!"

"However, since you are stronger than them, you clearly tell them that your strength comes from the hardships you endured and the hard work you put into training when you were young."

"We've all heard your 'getting the benefit and then complaining' kind of talk too many times. It's just the kind of cliché politicians like Hiruzen Sarutobi always spout!"

"Everyone assumes you're that kind of person, so they pretend to be close to you, but they're actually distancing themselves from you. Nobody wants to tell you the truth."

"Their cheers for you are really just for show in public!"

"You can ask the Kage Level in Konoha over there if they had that kind of mentality when the Hokage Konoha speaking!"

Before Naruto could even look over, they had already turned their heads away!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was a little embarrassed when Yichen called his name, but fortunately he was thin-skinned and just pretended not to hear it.

Yichen continued, "In most people's eyes, you're the kind of person who says one thing and does another. You really won't have any true friends who are willing to tell you the truth!"

"Only someone like you, who was cheated on from a young age and had all the Sasuke Uchiha, would consider you a friend!"

"Oh, and Hinata Hyuga, she probably likes you. But you never know, maybe it's just a political investment by the Hyuga Clan."

"You'll have to experience it for yourself; I can't judge it for you."

Naruto remained silent for a while, then walked to a corner, picked up a corpse, and returned to Yichen's side.

He said, "Tsuchikage, could you open a Space-Time Door for me? I want to go back to the Ninja World!"

Yichen glanced at the person in Naruto's hand; it was Hinata!

However, Hinata. There was no Chakra fluctuation, so Yichen hadn't noticed her before.

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "Naruto Uzumaki, I can let you go, but Hinata is a member of the Hyuga Clan!"

"The original Hyuga Clan Main Family has been proven wrong. Now, Neji is the one who best represents the Hyuga Clan!"

"And Neji is from our Iwagakure!"

"In other words, Hinata actually belongs to our Iwagakure, and you cannot take her away."

In fact, the number of ninjas from the Hyuga Branch Family who are currently on record is not very large.

Most of them were betrayed by Kakashi to Orochimaru, and the rest were almost all killed in the war of attrition over the past few years!

Therefore, although Yichen's words were arrogant, there was still some truth to them.

Naruto tightened his grip on Hinata's body, but said nothing.

At that moment Neji quickly flew over and said to Naruto, "Put down my sister!"

Naruto wanted to argue, but according to the rules of the Ninja World, he had to listen to what Yichen, the person who defeated him, said.

That's how he used to reason with people!

So after some struggle, Naruto placed Hinata in Neji's arms.

Seeing this, Yichen opened a Space-Time Door for Naruto.

Naruto left the space somewhat dejectedly.

After closing the Space-Time Door, Yichen reached out and lifted Hinata's eyelids. Seeing that her Jōgan were still there, he said to Neji, "Take off her eyes and keep them safe!"

"Let's take a look and see if it's useful to you and can help you improve your strength!"

Neji nodded, reached out and gouged out Hinata's eyes, placing them into a bottle.

After thinking for a moment, Yichen also gave Neji the pair of Sage-level Byakugan that he had obtained from Orochimaru.

After collecting Hinata's body and the two pairs of eyes, Neji returned to Sokai and the others.

"All irrelevant persons, please step aside." Yichen looked at the Sage of Six Paths.

He first closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened them and said, "Uncle-Master, I'm going to attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yichen rushed towards the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths could be said to have completely overwhelmed Yichen, but he had one weakness: he had no physical body.

The Sage of Six Paths is only in a soul state, so close combat is definitely not his forte!

This is the conclusion Yichen reached after dealing with so many Death God who only have souls and no bodies!

As usual, Yichen unleashed various ninjutsu at the Sage of Six Paths during his flight.

Simple Five-Attribute Ninjutsu would definitely not work, so Yichen uses Five Elements Fusion Chakra and Senjutsu Chakra to perform a ninjutsu.

The Sage of Six Paths did not possess the ninjutsu to absorb the Yichen; instead, he chose defense, separating a portion of his staff to transform it into a shield.

The shield formed from the Truth-Seeking Orb easily blocked Yichen's attack.

Yichen Hand Seals and immediately controlled his ninjutsu to change direction, attacking from behind the Sage of Six Paths.

The Sage of Six Paths wielded his staff, easily dispelling the attack that came from behind him.

Banshō Ten'in!

While the Sage of Sage of Six Paths was focused on what was behind him, Yichen used Gravity Ninjutsu on the Truth-Seeking Orb shield in front of him.

"It worked!" Yichen was overjoyed.

He was directly drawn to the seemingly thin yet incredibly powerful shield.

It seems that although the Truth-Seeking Orb is magical, it still belongs to the realm of matter, and gravity still has its uses.

Yichen didn't dare let the shield formed by the Truth-Seeking Orb get close to him. Halfway there, he opened a Space-Time Door and exiled the shield to the Kamui Space.

Yichen was not happy about banishing the Truth-Seeking Orb, because the Sage of Six Paths had acted too indifferently.

He seemed completely unconcerned that Yichen was targeting his Truth-Seeking Orb.

Yichen stopped and looked at the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' scepter. Sure enough, the scepter, which had shrunk because of the shield that had separated, returned to its original size in the blink of an eye.

The Sage of Six Paths is not Naruto. Naruto uses Truth-Seeking Orb one by one, but for the Sage of Six Paths, Truth-Seeking Orb attacks are just like basic attacks!

The Truth-Seeking Orb the Sage of Six Paths could condense at any time were simply a normal manifestation of his Chakra.

That makes sense; otherwise, the Sage of Six Paths wouldn't have included a Truth-Seeking Orb inside his Little White Ball.

Yichen's heart sank. The Truth-Seeking Orb, which combines offense and defense, could be condensed at any time by the Sage of Six Paths, but Yichen could only create a very small one before.

After being catalyzed by the power of Yin Power and Yang Power, a few could be produced, but the quantity was not large. Yichen originally intended to use them as a trump Trump Card.

After thinking for a moment, Yichen Hand Seals and directly used a dojutsu recorded by Iwagakure that originated from the Tenseigan on the Sage of Six Paths: the Gōriki Shiki no Jutsu.

Yichen summoned a Rock Golem and launched a physical attack on the Sage of Six Paths.

This move was almost useless against Orochimaru and Kaguya, because the two of them would All-Killing Ash Bones.

The Rock Golem couldn't dodge the bone spikes of the All-Killing Ash Bones and would be defeated instantly.

Yichen wanted to know what methods the Sage of Six Paths would use to deal with such a large monster.

The Sage of Six Paths looked at the Rock Golem and pondered for a second. The next moment, the scepter in his hand immediately transformed into a very thin and long black line.

The black line was straight and almost without thickness, but for some reason, Yichen felt that it resembled a long sword without a hilt.

With a flick of his black thread, the Sage of Six Paths sliced the giant Iwa ninja in two as easily as cutting tofu.

The Sage of Six Paths didn't stop gripping the black thread; with a flurry of wild swings, he dismembered the Rock Golem was still struggling to recover.

With a deafening roar, the fragments of the Rock Golem fell directly to the ground, kicking up a huge cloud of dust!

Yichen gasped; the Sage of Six Paths had almost scratched him when he waved his black lines.

He wasn't sure if being drawn by the black line would result in him being sliced in half like Rock Golem.

Unsure whether he was immune to the Truth-Seeking Orb, Yichen chose to dodge.

Although he dodged the attack, Yichen's brows furrowed even deeper; this battle was hopeless.

The Sage of Six Paths could be invincible with just one Truth- Truth-Seeking Orb.

Sure enough, what I feared most came to pass; the Sage of Six Paths immediately swung his black threads at Yichen.

Yichen quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the black line slash.

Who would have thought that the black line, which the Sage of Six Paths had been using like a longsword, would suddenly take a turn!

Yichen was caught off guard and was nearly hit by the black thread. In the critical moment, Yichen used the Shinra Tensei to repel the black thread, thus avoiding disaster.

Yichen was startled. "The Truth-Seeking Orb can be used as a whip?"

Yichen soon realized that he had been too naive; the Truth-Seeking Orb could not only be used as a whip, but could also transform into many strange and wonderful shapes.

As long as it's advantageous for an attack, the Sage of Six Paths can control the Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb to change at will.

The black line sometimes thickens into a stick, sometimes bends into a hook, and sometimes forks into a spiked club.

Yichen could only jump around like a clown, stumbling around aimlessly like a headless fly amidst the attacks of the black lines.

Until, the Sage of Six Paths wove a net with black threads.

This net covered an area of several hundred meters, with extremely small mesh openings, only the size of a palm. Like swatting flies, the large net rapidly descended upon Yichen from above.

Yichen's Six Tomoe Rinnegan, and as the great net approached him, it opened a Space-Time Door above his head.

Whoosh, the giant net swept past. Fortunately, the Truth-Seeking Orb was still unable to cut through space.

A small portion of the Truth-Seeking Orb Network entered the Kamui Space and separated from the main body.

This created a gap in the net, through which Yichen easily darted out.

The Sage of Six Paths was somewhat surprised; he clearly hadn't expected Yichen to be able to evade the net's attack in this way.

However, the Sage of Six Paths had no regrets. He quickly filled the gaps in the net and then enveloped Yichen once again.

The Sage of Six Paths did not believe that Yichen could continuously use the Space-Time Door. Yichen's eye power would eventually run out, while the Sage of Six Paths himself did not consume much Chakra when using Truth-Seeking Orb- Seeking Balls!

Although Yichen escaped another calamity, he was not happy, because he realized that he seemed to have to reveal his Trump Card before the Sage of Six Paths.

Yichen took a deep breath, and three Truth-Seeking Orb condensed in front of him.

Yichen imitated the Sage of Six Paths, gathering the three Truth-Seeking Orb together and transforming them into a relatively thick long staff.

Yichen swung his long stick and smashed it hard against the net, creating a gap in the net.

Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths did not linger with Yichen, but directly withdrew the net and transformed it back into his scepter.

Yichen followed closely behind the large net and charged towards the Sage of Six Paths.

As Yichen drew closer, the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan flashed in the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' eyes.

The next moment, he and the Dao-Seeking Scepter vanished from Yichen's Yichen and reappeared several hundred meters behind him.

Yichen quickly turned around, a hint of disbelief still in his eyes.

Space-Time Ninjutsu? And it's Space-Time Ninjutsu that requires no medium and no markings?

Is this Space-Time Dojutsu that combines the advantages of both Flying Thunder God Amenotejikara?

Now is not the time for shock; Yichen charged at the Sage of Six Paths once more!

The Sage of Six Paths clearly didn't want to fight Yichen in close combat. He directly stretched out a hand towards Yichen, and instantly, a blue, materialized Chakra rushed towards Yichen.

This attack is unpretentious; it relies solely on highly concentrated and powerful Chakra to strike the enemy.

Yichen paused as he flew towards the Sage of Six Paths, thinking, "He's finally here."

The Sage of Six Paths' move was incredibly powerful and fast, but Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, the Sage of Six Paths had been teasing him like walking Truth-Seeking Orb, so he didn't feel any sense of impending battle.

This head-on clash is exactly the Sage War that Yichen remembers.

Yichen remained calm, first putting away the Black Rod formed from the Truth-Seeking Orb, and then gathering Chakra in the same way, unleashing a similar Chakra attack against the Sage of Six Paths' blue attack!

This is an attack that Yichen learned from Kaguya's attack in the original work. Previously, Yichen's strength was insufficient to use it, but now that he is Sage Yichen his Chakra strength is sufficient, this kind of attack is very suitable for him.

Boom! A massive shockwave emanated from the center of the collision between the two ninjutsu techniques and rapidly spread outwards, soon affecting the onlookers.

Fortunately, there were no weaklings present, so the effects of the shockwave were easily neutralized!

At the same time, a blinding light accompanied by a shockwave filled the entire Outer Space.

The clash of Chakra attacks between the two sides was almost evenly matched.

Yichen enjoyed this kind of large-scale mutual attack; it gave him a sense of security.

This is his most familiar territory; he can gather intelligence while fighting!

Before the light faded, Yichen using Mind's Eye to lock onto the Sage of Six Paths and launched another attack.

Boom, boom, boom!

Under Yichen's initiative, the two sides engaged in more than a dozen rounds of hedging.

Although the Sage of Six Paths sometimes gained the upper hand in clashes, this advantage was never enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

Although Yichen was at a disadvantage, a stalemate had largely been established.

Yichen was in a good mood because, through their exchange, he finally had some idea of Sage of Six Paths' condition.

The Sage of Six Paths has no physical body, only a soul.

This was Yichen's previous guess, because Yichen himself was already a Sage who could make his soul leave his body and exist independently.

However, Yichen now discovers that the Sage of Six Paths is not the simple soul he imagined.

When the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' soul left his body, it also took away the Chakra from his physical body.

Rather than saying that the Sage of Six Paths had no physical body, it would be more accurate to say that because Sage of Six Paths Chakra Level was so high, he voluntarily abandoned his physical body and used his Chakra to form a new one.

This body should be more suitable for combat than the Sage of Six Paths' original body or Yichen's current body.

Although Yichen has become Sage, he still needs to use his meridians to perform ninjutsu.

However, the Sage of Six Paths didn't need to. His body was made of Chakra, so he could release Chakra from any part of his body.

Living in this state, one can no longer regard the Sage of Six Paths as a normal human being.

Life had no meaning for the Sage of Six Paths; Chakra was everything to him. He could achieve immortality through Chakra, and he could also grow stronger by absorbing Chakra.

As long as the Chakra remains, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' will has a vessel, making him immortal.

This reminded Yichen of the concept of "vessel" used by the Otsutsuki Clan, which seemed to have some similarities.

Various thoughts raced through Yichen's mind as he began to consider how to deal with the Sage of Six Paths.

First of all, even if I got close to the Sage of Six Paths and attacked him with Taijutsu, it would be pointless.

Because the Sage of Six Paths, unlike Yichen, doesn't possess weaknesses like a heart or a brain, which are common to all normal people.

His entire body was filled with Chakra; even if Yichen blew his entire body apart, leaving only a finger, he would still be alive.

This finger can also be reborn as the Sage of Six Paths, provided that there is enough Chakra in the finger.

Immortal and indestructible! This is true immortality!

Madara Uchiha will die if he is blown up, Naruto and Sasuke will also die if they are blown up.

But the Sage of Six Paths cannot do that. To paraphrase a phrase from Yichen's previous life: The Sage of Six Paths can be reborn from a drop of blood!

There was only one way Yichen could think of to deal with such a Sage of Six Paths!

Yichen quickly retreated, increasing the distance between himself and the Sage of Six Paths, and then took out a bottle from his Ninja Tool Pouch.

Inside the bottle was a blood-red, fleshy-like object.

The Sage of Six Paths' Nine Tomoe Rinnegan through the obstruction of the explosive light, allowing him to see the fleshy ball.

His gaze sharpened. What was this thing? Why did it contain such a vast amount of Chakra?

Yichen seemed to sense the Sage of Six Paths' doubts, and he said with a smile, "Let me introduce this to my Uncle-Master. This is a pill, which I refined using Orochimaru's Sage body."

"This thing can enhance a ninja's strength. If I'm not mistaken, it should be able to turn a Kage Level into Sage!"

The Sage of Six Paths frowned. He was unwilling to believe it, because in the past thousand years, he had only cultivated three Sages, and even including Orochimaru, there were only four.

He actually paid a price for these four Sages.

For example, when training Naruto and Sasuke, his Yin Power and Yang Power were somewhat depleted.

Yichen said, "There's no such thing as becoming a Sage with just a so-called pill!"

His intuition told him that Yichen was telling the truth, and considering that making this thing required directly refining a Sage like Orochimaru, the Sage of Six Paths felt it must be true.

This method of refining pills was obtained by Yichen from Black Zetsu.

At the time, Black Zetsu wanted to get something for free, but Yichen had him completely under her thumb.

Finally, Black Zetsu told Yichen about two special techniques.

One of them is how to use the Rinnegan to turn a Sage into a pill!

After obtaining this method, Yichen immediately turned half of Orochimaru's body into a pill.

In front of the Sage of Six Paths, Yichen quickly swallowed the pill in a few bites.

The Sage of Six Paths did not stop them.

While waiting for the medicine to take effect, Yichen said, "Uncle-Master, this is also my most important method for dealing with the Otsutsuki invasion."

"As long as the enemy doesn't come in large numbers at once, I can kill them."

"Then their corpses were processed into pills, which were used to cultivate even more Sage."

"I can use this method to continuously increase the strength of the Ninja World."

"My current resources are indeed inferior to yours, but once I kill a dozen or so Otsutsuki, process them into pills, and cultivate a corresponding number of Sage..."

"Tell me, by then, will the Ninja World be better in my hands or in yours?"

In truth, Yichen himself wasn't sure if the pill could mass-produce Sage, but when facing the Sage of Six Paths, he absolutely couldn't lose in a verbal exchange!

The Sage of Six Paths remained silent. This method of using the Otsutsuki from the Uchiha Clan as a tonic was certainly much better than his method of raising Gu poison.

At this moment, the medicine took effect, Yichen's skin became somewhat hot, giving the impression of having a high fever of over 100 degrees Celsius.

Yichen felt his entire body brimming with power. He let out a soft breath and then vanished instantly before the Sage of Six Paths.

Yichen wasn't using Space-Time Ninjutsu; he was simply too fast.

With a whoosh, Yichen appeared directly in front of the Sage of Six Paths.

Boom! Yichen threw a punch quickly, and the Sage of Six Paths had no time to dodge. He could only barely block Yichen's fist with his black scepter.

Boom!

Yichen slammed his fist hard onto the black scepter.

Yichen's body did not disappear after touching the Truth-Seeking Orb; Yichen's current state is definitely at the true Bloodline Net level.

Touching the Truth-Seeking Orb is not difficult!

On the contrary, Yichen's punch, which carried extreme speed, even bent the scepter that the Sage of Six Paths had transformed from the Truth-Seeking Orb!

The Sage of Six Paths was blasted thousands of meters away by the enormous impact!
