Six Paths Battle 2

Genki felt resistance coming from his arm, and a trace of impatience flashed in his scarlet eyes.

He made the Black Susanoo Armor surge with power, violently wrenching itself free of the sky-blue Susanoo Armor's hold. Then it kicked the sky-blue Susanoo Armor square in the chest, sending it flying.

The sky-blue Susanoo Armor crashed into a distant mountain range with a deafening boom. The mountains instantly split apart, and countless rocks tumbled down.

Freed from Hagoromo's obstruction, Genki fixed his gaze on Obito again and controlled the giant hand as it reached down to seize him.

The moment the giant hand descended, Obito felt himself pinned in place by a terrifying pressure. Even moving had become incredibly difficult, and the shadow of death completely engulfed him.

"No—!!" Obito let out a desperate roar, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

He hadn't yet achieved his ambition. He hadn't created that world where Rin was alive. How could he die here?

But Genki's attack wouldn't stop just because Obito refused to accept his fate.

The giant hand drew closer and closer. Obito could even clearly make out the cold patterns in the black armor covering its fingers.

At this critical moment, the sky-blue Susanoo Armor that had been flung away charged back in. Hagoromo's furious roar rang across the land. "I'll never let you get away with this!"

The sky-blue Susanoo Armor's long sword slammed into the Black Susanoo Armor's giant hand. It failed to stop the hand's descent, but slowed it for an instant.

Seizing that brief opening, Obito summoned every last bit of strength and activated Kamui again. The ripples in the space around him grew even more violent.

Seeing this, Genki's eyes flashed with icy killing intent.

He abruptly poured on more power, accelerating the giant hand's descent once more. At the same time, he swung out a streak of black sword energy that shot straight toward Obito, aiming to kill him in the final moment before he could activate Kamui!

The black sword energy carried an aura of destruction and reached Obito in an instant. Its icy killing intent nearly froze his soul.

With death a hair's breadth away, Obito's eyes turned bloodshot. He used every last bit of his chakra, even drawing on part of his life force, to force Kamui into action!

"Kamui—!"

The spatial ripples around him suddenly turned violent, like a lake churned by a boulder. A twisted rift in space rapidly widened.

The sword energy grazed his shoulder, instantly vaporizing half his sleeve. A searing pain shot through him, but Obito didn't even have time to groan. Kamui's power wrenched his body toward the rift, and he fell inside.

"Zzzzt—!"

Just as the spatial rift was about to close, the lingering shock wave from the sword energy swept into Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, who hadn't managed to follow in time.

Half of Black Zetsu's body was torn apart by the sword energy. Its black form dripped like melting asphalt, sizzling as it burned.

The special White Zetsu suffered even worse. Its entire lower body was vaporized, leaving only its upper half sprawled on the ground. It let out a faint whimper as its life ebbed away before their eyes.

"Obito..." Black Zetsu struggled to lift its remaining arm, its eyes full of fear and unwillingness. It barely had the strength to call out.

It tried to crawl toward the spatial rift, but every movement sent pain lancing through its body like Lingchi. All it could do was watch helplessly as the rift closed completely and Obito vanished.

"I couldn't... keep him here..." Genki stared at the closed spatial rift. A trace of impatience flashed in his scarlet Nine Tomoe Mangekyo eyes, and his low, hoarse voice brimmed with savagery.

He controlled the Black Susanoo Armor as it slowly turned around, fixing its gaze once more on Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was charging in again.

"Uchiha Genki! I'm your target! Don't even think about going after anyone else!" Hagoromo Otsutsuki steadied himself and immediately sent the sky-blue Susanoo Armor charging in again.

Obito's escape had left him deeply shaken. If Genki set his sights on someone else with special ocular powers, the consequences would be unthinkable.

He had to hold this monster back here, once and for all!

Hagoromo swiftly formed Hand Seals. His Six Paths Power erupted without restraint, and an even more violent attack surged toward Genki. "Six Paths: Yin-Yang Release: Sealing Chains!"

Countless golden chains imbued with sealing power emerged from the void like greedy snakes, winding toward the Black Susanoo Armor's limbs in an attempt to bind it tight.

At the sight of them, Genki's lips curved into a cruel smile. He swung the Eight-Handled Sword with the Black Susanoo Armor.

Black sword energy instantly severed the golden chains, then continued on toward the sky-blue Susanoo Armor without losing momentum.

At the same time, Genki's Magatsunokami domain expanded once more. Countless ghostly figures of the souls he had devoured howled and surged within it, crashing toward the sky-blue Susanoo Armor in an attempt to disrupt Hagoromo's control.

"BOOM—!!!"

The two towering Susanoo Armor clashed once more. Sky-blue and black energy interwove into a terrifying storm that tore the surrounding land and mountains to pieces.

Hagoromo's sky-blue Susanoo Armor was slightly inferior in strength, but with his precise control and the strange properties of Six Paths Power, he continued to maneuver and counterattack. One Sealing Jutsu after another, along with a barrage of attacks, struck the Black Susanoo Armor.

Genki, meanwhile, unleashed a completely overpowering assault. Every swing of the Eight-Handled Sword carried the force to destroy the world; every punch made the earth split and space warp.

He didn't care about his own exhaustion or Hagoromo's attacks. He only wanted to tear apart the figure obstructing him.

The battle once again reached a fever pitch, and the entire Shinobi World shook violently from their clash.

In the distance, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu lay in a pool of blood, barely clinging to life as they watched the battle beyond anything they had imagined. Their eyes were full of despair—the plan they had spent years carefully laying out seemed to have gone completely off course, hurtling toward destruction in a direction they could no longer control.

The battle didn't stop when Obito escaped. Instead, like an erupting volcano gone out of control, it sent the flames of destruction raging ever higher.

The clash between Uchiha Genki and Hagoromo Otsutsuki grew ever fiercer. Every collision between their Susanoo Armor, both beyond Six Paths Level, was no longer a simple clash of energy, but a terrifying disaster capable of reshaping the landscape.

At first, the shock waves of the battle only ravaged the area around Konoha. But as Genki's fury continued to mount, the Black Susanoo Armor he controlled grew increasingly savage. The sword energy unleashed by the Eight-Handled Sword no longer targeted only Hagoromo. It spread in all directions with indiscriminate destructive intent.

The sky-blue Susanoo Armor's counterattacks were equally devastating. When Six Paths Power tore through the earth, the rocks it hurled skyward rained down like meteors on distant towns and villages.

"BOOM—!!!"

A streak of black sword energy swept across the sky, crossed dozens of kilometers, and struck a quiet village on the border of the Land of Fire with pinpoint accuracy.
