This Battle Had Long Since Doomed You to Defeat!
In just a few dozen seconds, Madara ruthlessly countered the techniques of the four Hokage.
The scene fell into a deathly silence. The Impure World Reincarnation Tensei ninjas' battle rhythm was completely disrupted, and they lost the courage to continue.
Uchiha Madara stood quietly, the Chakra surrounding him solidifying as if it were a tangible substance, his cloak fluttering in the wind, like a god of the Six Paths descending to earth.
He surveyed the battlefield, his voice seeming to descend from the heavens:
"Is this what you call 'hope'?"
Just then--
" --Kamui Shuriken!"
The jet-black Susanoo took shape amidst thunder, its wings outstretched, as if a war god had descended upon the world!
Kakashi stood on his forehead, his eyes burning with the light of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Kamui in his right eye distorted space, while his left eye rapidly condensed Chakra!
With a furious shout, Susanoo raised his arm!
Amidst the spatial tremors, a vortex-like Kamui Shuriken suddenly materialized, flying out with an aura of destruction, aimed directly at Madara's true form!
However--
"Snort."
Uchiha Madara silently suspended in the void, his Six Paths aura flowing, his gaze as cold and still as dead water.
In an instant, his Rinne Sharingan slowly turned, flashing with purple light.
"Sewing together the eyes of a useless person... and you dare to challenge the gods?"
He didn't move, not even furrowing his brow.
With a cold laugh, Madara raised his hand and waved it lightly.
"Roll."
--boom!
A Truth-Seeking Orb Ball shot out, transforming into a jet-black sphere of light, directly confronting Kakashi's "Kamui Shuriken," which possessed spatial distortion.
"Buzz--!!"
Space trembled violently, but it did not tear apart as expected.
On the contrary, the moment the Kamui Shuriken touched the Truth-Seeking Orb, its structure collapsed like a phantom without a fulcrum, without even a ripple.
Kakashi's pupils constricted sharply as he stared at the scene in disbelief.
"How... how could this be... even Space-Time Ninjutsu— "
That's just wishful thinking on your part.
Ban strode out, his voice as cold as the wind blowing from the underworld.
Boom!!!
The air suddenly froze, and the void trembled!
--The Shadow of the Eightfold Limbo: Border Prison appears in an instant!
Before Kakashi could react, Susanoo's breastplate shattered like glass.
A punch, a palm strike, an elbow strike—all come from the unseen "Grim Reaper," yet they accurately hit every vulnerable spot.
"Bang--!!!"
Susanoo collapsed with a crash, Kakashi coughed up blood, and was thrown back, crashing heavily into the ruins!
He struggled to lift his head and saw the purple-robed figure slowly approaching, with Six Paths Truth-Seeking Orb floating and rotating behind him, like a judgment ceremony from heaven.
Ban stood before him, looking down at this former hero.
"Kamui? Susanoo?"
He spoke calmly, his tone full of disdain and contempt.
"You really think... that sewing those eyes back on will make you Uchiha Clan?"
Before he finished speaking, Madara raised his right hand, and a Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into a sharp spear, slowly taking shape.
"I'll give you some dignity. Dying at the hands of God is better than being crushed like an insect."
The next moment--
"Boom!!!"
The spear crashed down like a thunderbolt, piercing Kakashi's chest!
The remains of Susanoo were completely shattered, blood splattered everywhere, and Kakashi's body collapsed like a rag doll, his eyes unfocused and his breath barely perceptible.
The dust has settled.
Ban's eyes remained completely expressionless, as if he had merely crushed an insect.
Suddenly, the light from Dust Release exploded in the sky, engulfing everything like a doomsday judgment.
"Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!!"
The aged Ōnoki roared in the air, his hand Hand Seals moving slowly yet with unwavering determination.
With a roar, a pure white beam of light pierced the heavens and earth, containing the Six Paths Power, as if to strip the mark from its very existence!
The Second Tsuchikage Mu, also used Dust Release, combining the two techniques.
Countless ninjas watched this scene from afar, as if they saw a glimmer of hope in ending the war.
But--
"Snort."
Uchiha Madara stood on the void, the Six Paths Truth-Seeking Orb Balls behind him slowly rotating, his gaze cold and almost numb as he looked down at the earth-shattering Dust Release pillar of light.
"It's that trick again... You know it's useless, yet you still have to put on this act?"
He stretched out a hand, Rinne Sharingan suddenly spun.
"Rinnegan - Absorption"
Buzz!!
With a low hum, the Dust Release that could decompose all matter suddenly stopped, and was then forcibly drawn away by an invisible vortex. Even the light particles were shattered and vanished in an instant.
The sky fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.
Ōnoki's pupils contracted sharply, veins bulged on his forehead, and his expression was a mixture of anger, regret, and... fear.
"Damn it... I know it's useless... but I still..."
Your powerlessness is not courage.
Ban sneered, his voice like a god announcing a verdict.
"You've just proven once again that you can't beat me."
He stepped out slowly, causing the void to tremble; each step felt like a heavy hammer pressing on Ōnoki's heart.
"Don't use such a pathetic move as 'Dust Release' next time."
"... You are not qualified."
Before the words were even finished, with a soft thud, Ōnoki was beheaded by Limbo, Second Tsuchikage Mu the Truth-Seeking Orb!
The world fell silent once more, leaving only the cold, godlike figure of Ban, which suffocated everyone.
Suddenly, the atmosphere around them changed drastically, and deafening thunderous roars echoed across the battlefield.
"Roar--!"
A powerful burst of lightning erupted suddenly, accompanied by a deafening roar, as two dazzling bolts of lightning instantly struck Ban.
"It's the Nintaijutsu of the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage." Madara's lips curled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the incoming lightning with icy indifference.
"Nintaijutsu is nothing more than a trick to enhance Taijutsu by consuming Chakra."
Madara spoke coldly, his Rinne Sharingan slowly rotating, his gaze sharp as ice.
"You think you can stop me?"
An invisible black hole of power suddenly surged from his hand, and lightning swept over like a river bursting its banks, but was instantly bound and abruptly swallowed up.
The two Raikage were filled with shock and disbelief, but could only watch helplessly as their attack vanished into nothingness.
"Ha, so-called Nintaijutsu is nothing but a paper tiger."
Ban sneered like the whisper of death, then his body trembled, as if an invisible hand had been extended by a messenger from the underworld.
"Your souls will be harvested by me personally."
The shadow of Limbo quickly coiled around the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage.
The moment they came into contact, the Naraka Path's ability to extract souls activated!
"No... it won't end like this..." The Third Raikage gritted his teeth, desperately resisting the invisible erosion.
However, the darkness tore through the soul barrier like a knife, causing the two to tremble violently, gradually stiffen, and their eyes to dim.
The Third Raikage's soul was extracted, and his Impure World Reincarnation body turned into ashes. The Fourth Raikage collapsed to the ground, becoming a soulless corpse.
Only Ban stood like a god, coldly surveying the battlefield, signaling the end.
Tsunade, the Mizukage, and the Impure World Reincarnation Second Mizukage, trembling beside her, stared at the horrific scene before them, their faces deathly pale, a wave of despair washing over them.
Madara slowly turned around, his gaze as cold as a sharp blade, filled with endless contempt and arrogance:
"These are nothing but remnants of the old era. It's a joke that they're using such crippled bodies to stop me."
He glanced contemptuously at the trembling crowd, the Truth-Seeking Orb behind him slowly rotating, exuding boundless majesty:
Give up.
"Your defeat was already destined in this battle!"
