The Final Battle (Complete)
The Sage of Six Paths was blasted away by Yichen's punch, and only then did he realize the true power of that so-called pill.
It seems that using this to cultivate Sage is not just empty talk from Yichen.
The energy contained in this pill, both in quantity and quality, is enough to cultivate a Sage, given the significant boost it can provide to Yichen's speed and strength!
Ignoring the Sage of Six Paths' inner shock, Yichen clenched his fist again and charged towards the Sage of Six Paths.
Those who are family know their own situation. Although the power that Yichen is currently unleashing is terrifying, this state is temporary.
This was Yichen's first time using this product, and he didn't know how long he could last.
Once the effects of Dan's medicine wear off, Yichen will return to the state he was in at a complete disadvantage at the beginning.
Therefore, Yichen cherished the present moment. His figure disappeared again, and he once again rushed straight towards the Sage of Six Paths.
Boom!
Another heavy impact sent the Sage of Six Paths flying several kilometers away once again, and similarly, another dent appeared on his scepter.
Upon seeing this, Yichen frowned, realizing he couldn't waste time on the Truth-Seeking Orb.
With that in mind, Yichen once again used his Truth-Seeking Orb and crafted it into a standard longsword.
Yichen, wielding a long sword, charged toward the Sage of Six Paths at incredible speed!
When Yichen returned to the Sage of Six Paths, he no longer resorted to force with his fists, but instead chose to use his swordsmanship.
Yichen unleashed a horizontal slash, but the Sage of Six Paths blocked it with a horizontal strike of his scepter.
Unexpectedly, Yichen's strike missed its mark, and he quickly withdrew it before it hit the scepter.
The Sage of Six Paths was caught off guard by Yichen and knew he was in trouble. His eyes flashed, and he vanished from his spot in the next instant.
Yichen thrust his longsword straight out, but missed. The Sage of Six Paths had already flown away using Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Yichen was stunned for a second upon seeing this.
Yichen wasn't stunned by the disappearance of the Sage of Six Paths, but rather by the fact that the Sage of Six Paths was so easily forced back by a feint!
At that moment, Yichen had only one thought in his mind, "Is the Sage of Sage of Six Paths really that bad at close combat?"
Yichen knew his strengths and weaknesses; swordsmanship was definitely not his forte.
If his opponent were Madara Uchiha or Orochimaru, Yichen would absolutely not dare to use his mediocre swordsmanship.
Even if it were Sasuke or Naruto, Yichen didn't think his swordsmanship would be effective.
Previously, when using the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to ambush Naruto when he was in poor condition, it was only with the help of a soul-binding Dōjutsu that he was able to succeed in one strike.
Yichen never expected that the Sage of Six Paths would be unable to withstand the attack after just one exchange and would have to use Space-Time Ninjutsu to escape.
You should know that I've only just begun to use my swordsmanship; there are still many variations I haven't yet unleashed!
But thinking about it carefully, it seems normal; the Sage of Six Paths was born with immense power.
Although the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan was awakened through emotional stimulation, it was not awakened during battle.
He only participated in three major battles in his life. The first was a futile fight with his younger brother, and the second was teaming up with his brother to fight Kaguya.
The third match was when they used over a hundred Kage Level Reanimated Body to fight Kaguya again.
In these three battles, the Sage of Six Paths simply relied on brute force and mindless basic attacks, with almost no skill involved!
The Sage of Six Paths has never fought an equally matched enemy who excels in close combat.
Therefore, Yichen used a very simple feint that almost every ninja knows to catch the Sage of Six Paths off guard.
Yichen's eyes lit up; he had finally found a chance to win.
Yichen turned around, locked onto the location of the Sage of Six Paths, and charged forward again.
This time, Yichen not only used swordsmanship techniques to attack the Sage of Six Paths, but also kept an eye on the Sage of Six Paths' gaze.
As expected, the Sage of Six Paths was still not used to Yichen's simple swordsmanship and chose to escape using Space-Time Ninjutsu.
However, this time Yichen rushed towards the direction that the Sage of Six Paths had last pointed to.
The next moment, the Sage of Six Paths found that he had just teleported when Yichen rushed in front of him.
This time, the Sage of Six Paths was unprepared, and it seemed that Yichen's sword was about to strike him.
The Sage of Six Paths quickly reached out and unleashed a new Dōjutsu: Shinra Tensei.
Unfortunately, Yichen was prepared for this most basic Rinnegan Dojutsu.
Yichen extended his left hand and unleashed the same move Shinra Tensei of the Sage of Six Paths.
This was completely unexpected for the Sage of Six Paths, as it was a situation he hadn't encountered in his few previous battles.
His previous battles were all straightforward, with very little scheming, and he had never anticipated anyone else's schemes.
As for anticipating how others might predict his own future, that's too advanced a skill for him.
Thus, the Sage of Six Paths was unable to dodge Yichen's attack this time. On the contrary, Yichen, Shinra Tensei a single sword strike.
The Sage of Six Paths felt no pain despite having one arm severed. He quickly used his Space-Time Dojutsu Yichen was returning his sword to escape.
This time, Yichen didn't chase after him; instead, he grabbed the Sage of Six Paths' severed arm.
Then the Six Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead flashed, and the next moment, under the solemn gaze of the Sage of Six Paths, his right arm rapidly shrank, finally turning into a blood-red fruit.
It was the same pill that Yichen had swallowed earlier!
This pill is smaller, only about half the size of the previous one.
Yichen was very satisfied. He put the pill away and his gaze toward the Sage of Six Paths began to burn with fervor.
This isn't an enemy; it's a moving treasure trove!
The Sage of Six Paths' body flickered for a moment before solidifying again.
After this series of changes, his severed right arm had been restored.
Yichen wasn't surprised. He knew that the Sage of Six Paths wasn't so easy to kill, and he also knew that the Sage of Six Paths must have lost a lot of Chakra!
Having gained some advantages and becoming brimming with confidence, Yichen didn't stop and launched another attack on the Sage of Six Paths.
At this moment, all the spectators had strange expressions on their faces.
The Sage of Six Paths initially suppressed Yichen with ease, which everyone thought was normal.
This is in line with the image of the great master who founded the Ninja Sect in everyone's mind.
However, when Yichen swallowed the pill and unleashed power and speed even greater than that of the Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Six Paths' performance completely surprised everyone.
It's safe to say that among the hundred-plus people present, apart from Shion, no one believed that Yichen's clumsy swordsmanship could possibly harm anyone!
Especially considering that there were sword masters like White Fang and Hanzo present.
They could tell that Yichen's attack skills were truly mediocre. If they possessed the power of the Sage of Six Paths, they could kill Yichen dozens of times in an instant!
Similarly, if they possessed Yichen's power, they could instantly tear the Sage of Six Paths to pieces!
Therefore, even though they were watching Sage War whose power far surpassed their own, everyone felt a strange sense of amusement, as if they were watching weaklings fighting each other.
The numerous Reanimated Body looked at each other, some confused, some wanting to laugh, and some incredulous.
At that moment, everyone remembered what Yichen Naruto.
Naruto simply had two powerful fathers who paved the way for him, so he could become Sage without any training!
Perhaps the Sage of Six Paths is in the same situation as Naruto!
He only became Sage because he had a powerful mother!
Even the Sage of Six Paths is not as good as Naruto. At least Naruto went through a slow process of transformation from weak to strong.
But the Sage of Six Paths ascended to heaven almost in one step.
Everyone's smart enough to quickly reach this consensus.
Almost instantly, everyone's awe of the Sage of Six Paths diminished by more than half.
People used to hold a great deal of awe for a legendary figure who could easily control the souls of the dead and bring them back to life.
But now everyone's thinking is, if I were Kaguya's son, I would definitely do better than the Sage of Six Paths!
Yichen and the Sage of Six Paths were unaware of what the audience was thinking, and their battle grew increasingly intense.
Yichen relentlessly attacked the Sage of Six Paths, Sage of Six Paths then used various Dōjutsu to dodge.
They used everything from Soul Imprisonment and invisibility to Shinra Tensei, Space-Time Dojutsu, and Genjutsu.
In addition, there were many other strange and unusual Dōjutsu that Yichen couldn't name.
However, the Sage of Six Paths used all these Dōjutsu to get rid of Yichen's attacks, but did not come up with any targeted tactics.
Yichen was shocked. If the Sage of Six Paths had more combat experience, he could have easily combined two or three of his bizarre Dōjutsu to unleash a combo attack, and Yi Chen would have been dead long ago!
Although Yichen, Sokai, and the others also knew a few Dōjutsu, it was clear that the Sage of Six Paths also knew these Dōjutsu, and had mastered them better than Yichen and the others.
However, the Sage of Six Paths used these Dōjutsu to escape time and time again, without even considering protecting his own information!
Those Kage Level beings summoned by the Sage of Six Paths had completely lost their awe of Sage of Six Paths.
Most of them shook their heads inwardly at the Sage of Six Paths.
A few people even laughed out loud!
Danzo said in a very sarcastic tone, "It's a real waste to have such power on him!"
Others weren't as direct as Danzo, but their thoughts were basically the same.
Although Yichen was shocked by the many Dōjutsu the Sage of Six Paths possessed, he was not slow in his actions. In the long stalemate with the Sage of Six Paths, he succeeded ten times.
Five of these incidents involved severing parts of the Sage of Six Paths' body.
Yichen now has five pills!
After a long time, the effects of the pill made from Orochimaru's body finally wore off.
However, Yichen didn't care and swallowed a pill made from the right arm of the Sage of Six Paths.
Then they charged at the Sage of Six Paths once again!
This time, after rushing to the Sage of Six Paths, Yichen did not attack the Sage of Six Paths's body. Instead, he swung his longsword and knocked the Sage of Six Paths's scepter away.
This scepter is too much of a hindrance, constantly hindering my attacks. Several times I was able to strike the Sage of Six Paths, but it was blocked by this scepter.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yichen knocked away the scepter, the Sage of Six Paths once again used Space-Time Ninjutsu and disappeared.
Yichen had anticipated this scene. He once again lunged forward, wielding a black longsword made of Truth-Seeking Orb and slashing down at the Sage of Six Paths.
This time, the Sage of Six Paths did not dodge. His eyes flashed, mimicking the method Yichen had used to deal with his net before.
He quickly created a Space-Time Door in front of Yichen's longsword.
Yichen's eyes flashed, but instead of retracting his longsword, he chose to strike directly with it!
Just as the Sage of Six Paths had expected, Yichen's longsword broke, with most of it falling into the alternate dimension he had connected to.
The Sage of Six Paths quickly closed the Space-Time Door, then his expression relaxed. He had finally dealt with Yichen's Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb; it had been too difficult for him!
Yichen, however, did not relax. The longsword made from the Truth-Seeking Orb broke, so he simply abandoned the Truth-Seeking Orb and used his right hand as a sword, striking straight through the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' chest in a shocking manner.
The Sage of Six Paths, lacking a heart, suffered less damage from the blow to his chest than when Yichen severed a part of his body.
However, Yichen's eyes flashed at this moment, and his right hand, which pierced through the Sage of Six Paths's chest, formed a hand seal!
The Sage of Six Paths' expression changed drastically in the next instant!
Without a second thought, he vanished into the void.
This time, instead of using Space-Time Ninjutsu to escape to a distant place as before, he simply passed through the void and left the Outer Space.
However, as he blurred and traversed space, the Six Tomoe Rinnegan on Yichen's forehead was also emitting light.
Yichen is restricting the Sage of Six Paths' ability to travel through time and space.
Of course, Yichen failed, and the Sage of Six Paths still managed to escape.
Yichen sensed it for a moment, then opened a Space-Time Door.
This Space-Time Door connects directly to the Ninja World, and on the other side of the Space-Time Door is the Sage of Six Paths, who has just escaped.
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths' appearance had changed again.
A large area on his chest had turned grayish-white, and this grayish-white area was spreading to other parts of his body.
However, the spread was not rapid, suggesting that it was stopped by some force.
What prevented this grayish-white color from spreading was an eye on the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' forehead that had opened at some unknown time.
A blood-red, Nine Tomoe Rinnegan!
Yichen did not rush forward to finish off the Sage of Six Paths while he was in a bad state, but instead watched quietly from behind the Space-Time Door.
The Sage of Six Paths is currently suffering from Yichen's ultimate technique, Chakra Pollution!
This is also a special Ninjutsu that Yichen specifically requested to learn during his deal with Black Zetsu!
The so-called Chakra Pollution is a special technique specifically designed to target Sage, even Sage at the Kekkei Mōra.
Sage at the Kekkei Mōra Limit are immortal as long as their Chakra is not depleted, making them very difficult to kill.
But there is one exception: Chakra Pollution!
If Chakra is contaminated, the immortality of the Kekkei Mōra Sage will lose its foundation.
Similarly, their power will dissipate.
Yichen only knew of one type of Chakra Pollution attack: All-Killing Ash Bones.
Black Zetsu was unable to use the All-Killing Ash Bones technique on his own, so Yichen took him to the moon, where he contacted Kaguya and then explained the principles to Yichen.
Yichen originally intended to use this move to finish off Madara Uchiha at the last moment.
Unexpectedly, Madara Uchiha died at Naruto's hands because of his sharp tongue.
Therefore, Yichen has kept this move as his biggest Trump Card until now!
Seeing the Sage of Six Paths struggling, Yichen thought to himself, "Black Zetsu, thank you so much this time!"
The Sage of Six Paths was incredibly powerful; with the help of the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan on his forehead, he ultimately managed to rid himself of Chakra Pollution.
Through the Space-Time Door, Yichen and the others watched as the Sage of Six Paths separated the gray area and a portion of his body from his form.
This time, the Sage of Six Paths lost almost half of his body.
Although the Sage of Six Paths quickly returned to his original form, his somewhat frail body told everyone that he had suffered a severe blow to his vital energy!
Before the Sage of Six Paths could make a move, Yichen spoke first.
He spoke to the Sage of Six Paths through the Space-Time Door, saying, "Uncle-Master, you've lost this time."
"You have to admit, if I had attacked you while you were treating your injuries, you'd be dead by now!"
In fact, even Yichen himself dared not approach the Sage of Six Paths. Although he could use Chakra Pollution, he was not immune to it.
He was afraid of being affected as well, so he dared not go near.
Moreover, even if he got close, given the Sage of Six Paths' endless array of methods, Yichen wasn't confident he could kill him.
But one could certainly say it in a more righteous and eloquent way.
"Uncle-Master, I've let you off this time. As agreed, I will be in charge of the Ninja World from now on!"
Please keep your promise.
The Sage of Six Paths wanted to say something, but when he saw the expressions on the faces of the souls he had summoned, he knew he had lost his authority.
There was no point in saying anything now, so the Sage of Six Paths remained silent once again.
Yichen was also afraid that the Sage of Six Paths would make a desperate gamble and fight him to the death, so he said, "Uncle-Master, although I won, we have some questions about cultivation. I hope Uncle-Master can help me resolve them!"
"In return, I promise you that I can help cultivate the reincarnations of Asura and Indra in the future, and I can even take them as my disciples!"
"I believe my Uncle-Master is aware of my ability to teach disciples."
Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths's expression finally softened. His ultimate goal in raising Gu was to obtain the reincarnations of his two sons time and time again.
These two reincarnations are the most powerful of all the souls he has collected; the others are just extras!
If Yichen allows him to continue nurturing the reincarnations of his two sons, then he can reluctantly hand over the Ninja World to Yichen.
The Sage of Six Paths flew in through the Space-Time Door opened by Yichen and said, "I agree!"
Yichen smiled, Neji, Sokai, Nagato, Izumi Uchiha, Shion all smiled as well.
Shion cheered loudly, "We won! We finally won!"
Nagato muttered to himself, "The Ninja World is finally about to usher in peace!"
"Yichen, as expected, in the end, your path was the right one!"
Once the consensus was reached, the tense atmosphere between the two sides ended.
In an effort to ease tensions, Yichen asked the Sage of Six Paths some questions about cultivation.
Neji others knew this was a rare opportunity, so they all respectfully sought guidance from the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of Six Paths answered whatever they asked.
Although the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' tactical skills were only at the Genin level, or even Genin.
However, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' theoretical knowledge is a genuine Kekkei Mōra.
The Sage of Six Paths was able to answer almost all the questions raised by Yichen and others regarding special Dōjutsu.
With the deliberate mediation of Yichen and Izumi Uchiha, the two sides had a very pleasant conversation.
Yichen then inquired about some secrets of the Ninja World, such as the Three Great Sage Locations, other worlds connected to the Ninja World, and the origins of the Death God and the Jashin.
Finally Yichen asked, "Uncle-Master, I killed Orochimaru on the moon. I wonder if Orochimaru's soul is in the Pure Land?"
The Sage of Six Paths thought for a moment and said, "No, he shouldn't be dead."
Neji and the others who participated in the attack on Orochimaru were all taken aback, but Yichen was not surprised at all.
He had only one thought: As expected of Orochimaru! When it comes to survival skills, no one can compare to you!
The Sage of Six Paths then dispersed many souls, and after promising not to actively participate in the affairs of the Ninja World, he disappeared and left.
Yichen led Neji four back to Iwagakure.
Yichen arrived at the Tsuchikage's Office Building and loudly proclaimed to the nearly 100,000 Iwa Ninja Army and civilians, "I declare that our Iwagakure has won the Sage War!"
As soon as Yichen finished speaking, cheers erupted from the entire audience.
Everyone knows what this means; it means that from now on, the Iwa ninja will be the masters of the entire Ninja World!
After the cheers subsided a bit, Yichen said again, "I order: immediately launch a great war to Unifying the Ninja World!"
"Yes!!!" All the Iwa ninja answered the order in unison.
Of course, Yichen only issued the order; he didn't need to worry about the specific details, as Ikura and the others would take care of everything.
Actually, there was no need for Ikura and the others to devise any elaborate plans.
Not long after the results of the Sage War were announced, Kisame, on behalf of Kirigakure, declared unconditional surrender!
Ryūchi Cave.
The White Snake Sage, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort. It Hon tried to find an enemy, but found nothing unusual in its surroundings.
But somehow, its consciousness became increasingly blurred.
It cried out for help, but not a single snake came to check on the situation!
Before falling into a complete coma, it only uttered three words: "Why?"
After saying that, with a thud, the White Snake Sage fell to the ground.
After a period of silence, the White Snake Sage began to wriggle again. It opened its mouth, and a new white snake swam out from it!
The new White Snake is slightly smaller than the White Snake Sage's enormous body and appears much younger.
As the new white snake emerged completely from the mouth of the White Snake Sage, the White Snake Sage's body rapidly decayed, eventually turning into a pile of ashes.
The new White Snake underwent another abnormal wriggling, finally shrinking into a human form – it was Orochimaru!
Orochimaru gazed at the ashes of the White Snake Sage and calmly answered its last question before death, "Because of your betrayal!"
Orochimaru then examined his current body and grinned, "So this is the Kekkei Mōra!"
"Tsuchikage, thank you very much this time!"
It's finally finished! I hope everyone likes the ending.
Thank you all for your support over the past two years. Looking back, I can hardly believe that I was able to persevere.
