The System's Dimensional Travel Begins Charging
As the two elders, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, expressed their reluctance to part, the final stage of the process came to an end.
"I feel very reassured with you by Tsunade's side. I won't say much more, Tianqi. I wish you a safe journey!" Hashirama Senju said a lot of farewell words, and finally finished speaking.
"Alright, we're not going to our deaths, there's no need to make a fuss about this!" Tianqi said helplessly.
It was at this moment that the sun and moon marks representing the Yin and Yang forces of the Sage of Six Paths returned to his own hands, and he knew that the battle between Naruto and Sasuke was over.
"Now that Tianqi is over, it's time to bring them back!"
Upon hearing that the matter was over, Tianqi did not hesitate at all. He channeled his Chakra Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
Having received Tianqi's Chakra, the Sage of Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, clasped his hands together and began his own jutsu.
"Summoning Technique!" With the appearance of a huge summoning circle, the Nine Tailed Beasts and the four members of Team 7 slowly appeared, along with the dying Madara.
While everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Tianqi and Hashirama Senju slowly approached Madara. Tianqi bent down and gently helped Madara sit up.
"What's the point of everything you've done? You've been used your whole life, shouldn't you finally wake up now!"
"Heh, it's ridiculous that I've been used for so long without even realizing it. Maybe Hashirama's choice was right, and I've been the one who was wrong all along!" Madara said weakly, looking at Hashirama and his son.
"That's not how it is. If Black Zetsu hadn't used you, your actions would have been wrong. Just as Tianqi said, perhaps if I had stood firmly by your side back then and pulled you up at the crucial moment, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way. Madara me..." Seeing his friend's life about to come to an end, Hashirama Senju also filled with remorse.
"This has nothing to do with you. If I had stood firmly by you back then, perhaps I could have also experienced the true meaning of that heart-to-heart connection. But alas, there are no 'what ifs'!"
Seeing that Old Ban had finally come to his senses, Tianqi knew it was time to give him a helping hand. This was the last thing he could do for him as a son. Tianqi his Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan and began Hand Seals.
"Heretical Path - Rinne Rebirth..."
Just as Tianqi was about to use the powerful abilities of the Rinnegan to make a pact with Pluto to save Madara, Madara suddenly reached out and grabbed Tianqi's hand.
"Enough, Tianqi, stop! I've done too many wrong things in my life, and I no longer have the right to enjoy living in the Shinobi World. Don't waste your power on this!"
"Father..."
"Good, good! I've waited so long to hear you call me 'Father.' Hearing you say it from your own lips today is enough. It's all worth it, hahaha..." Ban's laughter brought him to his final moments, his life coming to an end.
Tianqi held his father, who had struggled his whole life, in his arms, and remained silent for a long time. This continued until the Sage of Six Paths released everyone from the Impure World Reincarnation, and until the Konoha F4 left.
"Sasuke, go do your own thing!" Tianqi said coldly.
"Chibaku Tensei!" Hearing his grandfather's words and knowing that his thoughts had been seen through, Sasuke immediately activated his Rinnegan to control the Nine Tailed Beasts and used Chibaku Tensei.
After explaining why he did what he did, Sasuke used Genjutsu to knock Sakura unconscious and took Naruto to the Valley of the End to settle things once and for all.
Meanwhile, Tianqi released all his clansmen. The released clansmen looked at Tianqi holding Ban's corpse, and they all remained silent.
Looking at his elderly father in his arms, Tianqi directly used his Time Force to completely annihilate the corpse. After dealing with the body, Tianqi coldly shouted.
"Charge!!"
At this signal, the thousand Uchiha immediately took their positions around the Sage of Six Paths.
Looking at the thousands of Uchiha clan members around him, the Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo of Sage of Six Paths, Uchiha, was puzzled and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"My final moment has arrived, Sage of Six Paths Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo! It's time for you to help!" Tianqi coldly stared at the Sage of Six Paths, then shouted, "Let's begin!"
At Tianqi's command, thousands of Uchiha clan members simultaneously began Hand Seals, and the green Hand Seals quickly rose, surrounding the Sage of Six Paths.
What exactly is Uchiha Tianqi trying to do with this green barrier? Holding the unconscious Sakura, Kakashi looked at the green barrier with a puzzled expression.
"Uchiha Tianqi, what exactly are you trying to do?" Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo panicked as he saw the green barrier surrounding him. This wasn't helping him at all; it was clearly an attempt to kill him.
"You'll find out soon enough what I'm doing!" With that, Tianqi activated Six Paths Mode, Rinne Sharingan on his forehead also opened. He quickly flew to the top of the green barrier, using his own body as the array's core to bring the array to perfection.
"The array's core is in place, we can move out now, clansmen, let's begin!" Kong shouted loudly.
"Phantom Spirit Extraction Technique activated!!!"
As the formation was fully activated, green lightning within the barrier continuously attacked the Sage of Six Paths.
"Aaaaaah!!! What is this?!" Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo kept ramming against the barrier, trying to break through, but all his efforts were in vain; he couldn't get out.
"Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, there's no need for you to struggle anymore. This barrier, whether you're a soul or a fraction of Chakra, once you're inside, there's no way you can get out. Don't worry, it won't threaten you. At most, it'll just hurt a little!"
"No, no, no, what are you...?" The feeling of his soul being torn apart caused the Sage of Six Paths immense pain, and he kept shouting loudly.
Hearing his uncle's painful cries, Karura turned his head away, unable to bear to look.
As the formation continued to operate, countless energies invisible to ordinary people entered the barrier and were then transmitted to Tianqi Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo his body.
"It's here!" Tianqi exclaimed, feeling a strange power enter his body, and he was thoroughly enjoying it.
Just then, the system, which had been dormant for many years, finally went online again.
[The power of the world's will has been detected entering. The interdimensional travel program is activated. Charging the program is in progress: 1%, 2%, 3%,... 99%]
Just when Tianqi thought he was about to succeed, and the project was 99% complete, a sudden change occurred.
[99.1%, 99.2%, 99.3%...99.99%, Insufficient energy to recharge! Insufficient energy to recharge!]
What?! This power has been flowing continuously, how can it be running out of energy? System, don't mess things up! Tianqi shouted inwardly, speechless. He was about to leave, and now they're telling him it can't recharge? This is ridiculous!
Just as Tianqi was getting anxious, everything around him suddenly stopped moving, even time itself ceased to flow.
"Huh? What's going on? I didn't use such a large-scale time stop." Tianqi looked around in confusion.
As Tianqi was puzzled, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky, and two fully armed people wearing black and white armor walked out of the vortex.
"Oh dear, we've finally reached our destination! My goodness, the time tunnel was so uncomfortable, I was about to go crazy!" complained the person in white armor.
"Shut up! This world has already begun to expel us. Quickly, stop it!" The man in black armor pointed speechlessly at the forces rushing towards them.
"Expel us? Hmph, a mere second-rate world dares to try and drive us away? Wishful thinking!" The person in black armor simply waved his hand, and a huge, invisible energy shield quickly formed, blocking the incoming energy.
Although the energy shield was invisible, Tianqi still detected a slight fluctuation. When he looked up, he found that two people had arrived in the sky above him at some point.
It's those two oddballs! Why are they here at this special time, and why aren't they bound by the Time Force? Looking at these two familiar oddballs, Tianqi was completely bewildered.
A figure clad in black armor slowly flew up to Tianqi and said calmly, "We meet again, Tianqi!"
"Who... who exactly are you people?" Tianqi asked, frowning. He couldn't move around at this moment, otherwise the system's charging would completely fail. He could only try his best to hold off the guy in front of him.
