Six Paths Immortal Bones Hold Kamui, Void Remnants Spark a New Battle

The light of the Six Paths Altar had yet to fade completely. Su Ye lay in the center of the altar, his chest heaving. Tsunade's medical chakra flowed into his body like a warm current, but the eyes that had once blazed with the power of the Rinnegan remained tightly shut, and even his breathing trembled faintly. "His chakra is nearly depleted, and the Six Paths Immortal Bones haven't fused stably yet." Tsunade furrowed her brow as the green chakra in her palms grew more concentrated. "We must find the Dragon Saliva Immortal Dew as soon as possible to stabilize his life force."

Sasuke stood at the edge of the altar, the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword planted at an angle in the ground, its crimson-gold flames flickering along the blade. He gazed at the Void mist lingering in the sky, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes. "Though the Lord of the Void has vanished, the scattered Void Remnants are probably still hiding throughout the Shinobi World." Naruto crouched beside Su Ye, golden Tailed Beast Chakra coiling around his fingertips as he gently brushed the black markings that had yet to fade from Su Ye's arm. "I'll guard this place until Su Ye wakes up."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded beyond the altar. Gaara arrived with the Sunagakure shinobi, his Sand Waterfall Technique forming a shield behind him, his face etched with worry. "Large numbers of Void Remnants have appeared along the Land of Wind's border. They're devouring Sunagakure's chakra resources!" As soon as he finished speaking, Raikage A appeared at the altar entrance, Lightning Release Chakra crackling around him. "The seal at Cloud Thunder Gorge has been breached. Those remnants seem to be searching for something!"

Mei Terumī immediately circulated her Water Release Chakra, gathering deep-blue water into a mirror in her palm. Images of different parts of the Shinobi World appeared within it: black mist shrouded Iwagakure's underground chamber as the shinobi of the Land of Earth fought desperately to hold their ground; beside the Deep Sea Secret Realm in the Land of Water, countless Void Remnants had formed a whirlpool, trying to break through the realm's barrier. "Something's wrong." Mei Terumī's expression turned grave. "The remnants are probably after the Void power left behind in the Six Great Secret Realms!"

Ōnoki leaned on his cane and slowly stepped onto the altar. He looked at Su Ye's pale face and sighed. "Su Ye can't move right now. We have to split up and guard the Six Great Secret Realms." Before he finished speaking, Su Ye's fingers twitched slightly. Everyone immediately gathered around him. He slowly opened his eyes, a faint purple light flashing in his Rinne Sharingan. "The Six Great Secret Realms... contain fragments of the Lord of the Void's soul."

Su Ye struggled to sit up, and Tsunade hurried to support him. He raised one arm slightly, and the light of the Six Paths Immortal Bones gathered in his palm, forming a faint purple apparition. "While the Immortal Bones were fusing, I sensed that fragments of the Lord of the Void's soul had scattered throughout the Six Great Secret Realms. If they gather, the Void rift will open again." Sasuke immediately gripped the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword, its crimson-gold flames flaring. "I'll go to the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds. That's the first secret realm." Naruto stood as well, golden Tailed Beast Chakra swirling around him. "I'll go to Mount Myoboku. The Senjutsu Chakra from the Spring of Purification might be able to suppress the soul fragments."

Ōnoki nodded and used Earth Release Chakra to create an earth clone. "I'll take care of the underground chamber in Iwagakure." Mei Terumī and Gaara exchanged a glance before speaking at the same time. "I'll handle the Deep Sea Secret Realm in the Land of Water!" "I'll guard Sunagakure's forbidden grounds in the Land of Wind!" Raikage A clenched his fist, forming a ball of lightning in his palm with his Lightning Release Chakra. "I'll deal with Cloud Thunder Gorge!"

Everyone immediately set off, racing toward their respective destinations. Su Ye watched them go, then forced himself to his feet. Tsunade tried to stop him, but he waved her off. "I'm going to the Main Family's underground chamber in the Hyuga Clan. The Immortal Bone Arm there still holds traces of my chakra. It might help me sense where the soul fragments are." With that, he circulated the power of the Rinnegan, gathering pale purple chakra beneath his feet before vanishing from the center of the altar.

The entrance to the Main Family's underground chamber in the Hyuga Clan had already been repaired, but when Su Ye arrived, black ripples spread across the barrier surrounding it. He teleported to the entrance and opened his Rinne Sharingan. Its pale purple ocular power pierced the barrier. On the altar in the center of the chamber, a mass of black mist was slowly gathering—the Lord of the Void's soul fragment. "So you really did come." The fragment let out a shrill laugh as countless tendrils reached from the black mist and lashed toward Su Ye.

Su Ye drew on the power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones, forming a barrier of pale purple chakra around himself. The tendrils struck the barrier with a sizzling hiss, and its Immortal Bone power steadily purified the black mist. "The Lord of the Void is dead. You're nothing but a fragment of his soul." Su Ye sneered, a chakra sword forming in his palm. "Today, I'll erase you completely!" He teleported in front of the fragment and swung his chakra sword at the black mist.

But just as the blade was about to hit, the black mist suddenly split into dozens of pieces and fled in every direction around the chamber. Su Ye immediately activated his Rinne Sharingan, locking onto every fragment with his ocular power. The power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones erupted in his palm, forming a net of pale purple light that covered them all. "Trying to escape?" Su Ye shouted. The net snapped tight, and the fragments shrieked in agony within its glow.

Just as the fragments were about to be purified, the chamber walls suddenly exploded. Countless Void Remnants surged inside, their Void Blades slashing toward Su Ye. He immediately turned and swept his chakra sword through them. Pale purple light clashed with the Void Blades, cutting the remnants to pieces in an instant. But more and more kept pouring in. Black mist filled the chamber, and it began to corrode Su Ye's barrier.

"These remnants are stronger than before." Su Ye furrowed his brow and drew on the power of the Immortal Bone Eye. Pale purple ocular power erupted, revealing the cores of the Void Remnants to him. He teleported behind one and drove his chakra sword into its core. The remnant dissolved into black mist. But the others seized the chance to rush toward the soul fragments, trying to carry them away.

Just then, the Hyuga clan head arrived with shinobi from the Hyuga Clan. They activated their Byakugan, gathering Gentle Fist power in their palms as they attacked the Void Remnants. "Lord Su Ye, we're here to help!" the Hyuga clan head shouted. His Gentle Fist struck a remnant's core and destroyed it. The Hyuga shinobi quickly formed ranks, their Byakugan covering the entire chamber so that no movement by the remnants could escape their notice.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Ye unleashed the power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones again. A pillar of pale purple light shot into the sky, engulfing all the soul fragments and Void Remnants. Within the pillar, Immortal Bone power steadily purified the black mist. The fragments let out desperate howls before gradually fading away. When the pillar vanished, every Void Remnant in the chamber had been destroyed, leaving only black ash scattered across the floor.

The Hyuga clan head stepped forward and bowed to Su Ye. "Thank you for protecting the Main Family's underground chamber, Lord Su Ye." Su Ye nodded slightly and looked toward the altar. A faint trace of Void power remained there. He reached out and absorbed it, and the Six Paths Immortal Bones glimmered. "The other secret realms are probably facing the same crisis. We have to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Just as Su Ye was about to leave, his Rinne Sharingan suddenly throbbed with pain. He looked up at the sky and saw black pillars of light rising simultaneously across the Shinobi World, each one above the location of a Six Great Secret Realm. "This is bad!" Su Ye's expression changed. "The soul fragments are activating at the same time. They're trying to use the power of the Six Great Secret Realms to reform the Lord of the Void!" He immediately drew on the power of the Rinnegan and teleported toward the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds.

Outside the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds, Sasuke was fighting countless Void Remnants. The crimson-gold flames of the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword blazed within the grounds, but the remnants kept multiplying. Black mist gathered in the center of the forbidden grounds as the soul fragments absorbed the Uchiha Clan's source power. "Sasuke!" Su Ye called as he teleported to his side. The power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones erupted, and pale purple chakra wiped out every nearby remnant.

Sasuke panted, the flames on the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword growing fiercer. "These soul fragments are absorbing the power of the forbidden grounds. If this keeps up, the Uchiha Clan's source power will be devoured completely." Su Ye nodded and drew on the power of the Immortal Bone Eye. His pale purple ocular power pierced the black mist and locked onto the soul fragment's core. "I'll hold the fragment back. Use the golden Fire Seed power to ignite the source flame of the forbidden grounds and purify this black mist."

Sasuke immediately nodded and plunged the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword into the ground. The golden Fire Seed power flowed down the blade and into the earth, igniting the source flame of the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds. Crimson-gold flames rose from the ground and spread toward the black mist. Su Ye, meanwhile, drew on the power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones, forming a chakra sword in his palm and slashing at the soul fragment. The moment the blade struck, pale purple light erupted, binding the fragment in place.

But just then, the black pillar of light in the sky suddenly intensified. The soul fragments in the other secret realms released their power all at once, and the fragment in the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds surged in response. The black mist broke free of Su Ye's restraint and collided with the source flame, triggering a violent explosion. The shock wave hurled Su Ye and Sasuke through the air, sending them crashing to the ground.

"This won't work." Su Ye struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the black pillars of light connecting the Six Great Secret Realms, determination flashing in his eyes. "We have to gather the source power of all Six Great Secret Realms to suppress the fragments completely." Sasuke got up as well, the flames on the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword flickering. "I've already contacted Naruto and the others. They're dealing with the soul fragments in their respective secret realms as quickly as they can."

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto's voice came through the communicator. "The fragment at Mount Myoboku has been purified. I'm heading to the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds now!" Then Gaara, Raikage A, Mei Terumī, and Ōnoki all spoke in turn. They had successfully suppressed the soul fragments in their respective secret realms and were on their way to join up at the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds.

Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief and drew on the power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones to set up a barrier around the Uchiha Clan's forbidden grounds. Pale purple light formed a shield, temporarily holding back the expanding soul fragments. "Once they arrive, we can activate the 'Six Paths Return Formation' and wipe out the fragments completely." Sasuke nodded and tightened his grip on the Heaven-Burning Ancient Sword, its crimson-gold flames dancing along the blade as he prepared for the final battle.

Half an hour later, Naruto and the others arrived one after another. Golden Tailed Beast Chakra and pale green Senjutsu Chakra swirled around Naruto. Behind Gaara, his Sand Waterfall Technique formed a massive hand of sand. Lightning Release Chakra crackled around Raikage A, Mei Terumī's Water Release Chakra took the shape of a deep-blue water dragon, and Ōnoki's Earth Release Chakra made the ground tremble faintly.

"Everyone, channel the source power of your respective secret realms into the barrier!" Su Ye shouted as the power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones erupted in his palm. Pale purple light shot into the sky, forming a massive pillar. Naruto and the others immediately circulated their chakra, and golden, pale green, earthy yellow, deep blue, and white-hot lightning light flowed into the pillar one after another. The six colors intertwined, forming a brilliant rainbow that swept toward the black mist.

The soul fragments within the black mist let out shrill howls, trying to resist the rainbow light's purification. But the fusion of the six sources of power contained the purest strength in the Shinobi World. The black mist steadily faded within its glow. When the rainbow light vanished, the soul fragments had been completely purified, and the black pillars of light in the sky disappeared with them.

Su Ye gazed at the clear sky and finally breathed a sigh of relief. But just then, his Rinne Sharingan throbbed with pain again. He looked down at his palm. A black ripple had appeared in the light of the Six Paths Immortal Bones. "This is bad!" Su Ye's expression changed. "As the soul fragments were being purified, they injected a trace of Void power into the Six Paths Immortal Bones!"

Everyone immediately gathered around him, staring at the black ripple in Su Ye's palm. Tsunade's voice came through the communicator. "That Void power is corroding the Immortal Bones. If it isn't removed soon, Su Ye's body will be completely corrupted!" Naruto reached out to touch the black ripple, but Su Ye stopped him with a wave. "This power is too strange. We can't touch it carelessly."

Sasuke studied the black ripple, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "The Spring of Purification at Mount Myoboku might be able to suppress it." Su Ye nodded and drew on the power of the Rinnegan, preparing to teleport to Mount Myoboku. But as he rose, the black ripple suddenly erupted, and a pillar of black light shot into the sky. Above them, a thin crack appeared in the Void rift that had been sealed shut.

"The Void rift... is opening again." Su Ye's voice was grave. He stared at the thin crack, resolve flashing in his Rinne Sharingan. "This time, I won't let the Shinobi World fall into crisis again." Naruto, Sasuke, and the others gripped their weapons, chakra erupting around them. "We'll stand with you and protect the Shinobi World!"

The black pillar of light slowly faded, but the Void rift in the sky continued to widen. Su Ye drew on the power of the Six Paths Immortal Bones, gathering pale purple chakra in his palm. "We're heading to Mount Myoboku now to remove the Void power from the Immortal Bones. Until then, we have to hold this rift." Everyone nodded and followed close behind Su Ye as they raced toward Mount Myoboku. High above, the Void rift was like an eye peering into the Shinobi World, slowly opening. A new battle was about to begin.
