A figure sitting cross-legged appeared where Obito was watching.

Uchiha Yushu!

Both Obito and Black Zetsu felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

However, the two quickly realized their own limitations and calmed down again.

Ren's sudden appearance made the situation delicate.

Black Zetsu and Obito locked eyes, as if an electric current had passed between them—not a confrontation, but a telepathic connection.

Go and deal with him!

No, you go!

As the two exchanged glances, Ren walked confidently up to the Ten-Tails.

"Gentlemen, I'm just here to take away Konoha ninja."

As he spoke, Ren bent down and lifted Naruto up.

Black Zetsu was a coward by nature, and wanting to stall for time, he showed no intention of making a move no matter how much Obito signaled to him.

Although Obito suffers from Ren's PTDS, Ren's nonchalant attitude still infuriates Obito.

This has nothing to do with whether Naruto has any value at this moment; it's simply that the Uchiha Clan bloodline within him doesn't allow him to remain indifferent.

It's still too early to say who will win or lose, Uchiha Yushu!

With this belief in mind, Obito action.

The Moryo power within him erupted at full force. Before he even made a move, the immense power caused the deserted island on the sea to shake violently before shattering into pieces.

The Six Paths of Pain, newly created by Black Zetsu, were all killed in an undeserved disaster.

Fortunately, before Six Paths of Pain died, Black Zetsu had already withdrawn his powers and, using his Rinnegan to control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, hid inside the Ten-Tails' palm, thus avoiding serious injury.

Ren also took Naruto and hid in the air, not because he couldn't hold on, but mainly because he had a burden to carry.

The power of the Moryo is different from the power of the Ten-Tails that Obito obtained in the original work.

No matter how many backdoors the Sage of Six Paths spread with his Chakra, they were ultimately inherited from the Ten-Tails, making them much easier to control.

Furthermore, since the Moryo itself was not eliminated, Obito also had to prevent it from causing trouble, Obito was unable to control the surge of power due to the fusion of souls for a time.

The power to destroy the world may seem immense, but it depends on who the enemy is.

Just First True Several Thousand Hands, it looks impressive and is very effective against large targets and for mowing down enemies.

However, if facing a single humanoid target, concentrating the power of the True Several Thousand Hands on a single Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Jutsu would be a more suitable choice, but Hashirama Senju clearly hadn't reached that level.

Obito was almost there; his mere actions before he made a move had already caused chaos.

Just like the raising of a hand before throwing a punch could stir up a dozen typhoons, it looks like a god or a demon, but in the end, that power is wasted.

"Hahaha, this power, Uchiha Yushu, I have completely surpassed you!"

Not bad!

Ren mentally assessed Obito's current strength and had to admit that Obito was more outstanding than he had imagined.

Tobi, who wasn't a time traveler, had a narrow perspective and didn't seem to have a system to rely on.

To have reached this point is truly a testament to extraordinary talent.

Having accepted Obito in his heart, Ren decided to try the dessert before the main course.

Therefore, Ren did not choose the Ghost Rider template, which is extremely effective against Tobi, but instead used the strongest Surtur template, intending to fight head-on.

After wrapping the unconscious Naruto in his combat suit and strapping it to his body, Ren transformed into an ugly fire giant.

Yeah, a giant that's two meters tall.

"Then let me see for myself!"

Ren drew his Twilight Sword and pointed it directly at Obito.

"Die!"

With a roar, Obito finally made his move.

[Yomi Orb!]

Dark purple energy condensed into a sphere, its color turning black, and the sphere, resembling Tailed Beast Ball, hurtled towards Ren.

During the flight, dark cracks appeared around the Yomi Orb.

With Ren's knowledge, he naturally knew that it was not some dissipated power, but a massive energy that had torn apart the fragile space.

Without relying on Kamui, but solely on his power, Obito was able to pierce through space.

Energy attack?

Ren envied Obito's prestigious status as a mage, after all, he was just a crude warrior at the moment.

The Eternal Flame and the Twilight Sword permeated Ren's body, elevating Ren to an unimaginable level.

Without any skill or fancy moves, Ren delivered a simple and unadorned sword strike to Obito's attack.

Its speed was incredibly fast; even Black Zetsu was watching the battle, couldn't see the trajectory of the sword strike despite using his Rinnegan.

However, Black Zetsu could see that Ren and his surroundings were distorted.

It's not that the air expands due to high temperatures, but rather that space itself is bent.

Unbeknownst to Black Zetsu, a dark trail clung to the blade.

It's not just massive energy that can shatter space; brute force can too!

Obito's attack was split in two, bypassing Ren and flying towards the endless sea.

"Boom! Boom!"

It hadn't flown very far when the Yomi Orb, whose internal structure had been damaged, exploded violently.

Besides the consequences of normal explosions such as mushroom clouds and tsunamis.

The properties of the Moryo power also spread throughout the seas.

Countless marine creatures perished under the power of the Moryo, their corpses beginning to rise to the surface. But before they could reach the surface, the bodies quickly decomposed, turning into pus and leaving not even bones behind.

The first wave was still azure water, but the second wave was a foul-smelling, grayish-brown sea.

They lived up to their name, even in the Yomi.

Is there anything else?

Ren asked with great interest, wanting to see if Obito.

At this moment, Obito looked completely incredulous.

"Impossible!"

As if unable to accept that his attack had had no effect on Ren, Obito began to grit his teeth and speak.

To say that it has no impact is a lie.

Having just faced Tobi's attack head-on, Ren blocked it all to prevent the Moryo power from affecting Naruto.

If the Surtur template hadn't been activated, my original form would probably be either completely gone or look like an old man in his seventies or eighties, with thinning hair and no teeth.

It's an energy attack, and it even comes with a curse effect.

No wonder Obito was so upset when he saw that Ren was unharmed.

After waiting for several breaths, it became clear that Tobi showed no intention of preparing his next big move.

Without further hesitation, Ren loaded the second template Ghost Rider, and unleashed Hellfire with his sword, simultaneously delivering Judgment Eye to Tobi.

Even with the blurring effect enabled, Tobi was still engulfed in Hellfire.

This time, however, Obito neither yelled nor lost his temper.

However, during the Obito Conference of Obito's entire body, cries of agony filled the air.

Wow!

Ren was startled.

The immense pure soul power made Ren feel warm, and a portion of it began to converge towards his eyes.

The Sharingan automatically activated, the Mangekyo Sharingan pattern spun rapidly, and then a strange aura spread, with a touch of purple gradually replacing the scarlet.

I haven't started it yet!

The sudden change threw Ren into a panic.

Feeling the Sharingan rapidly evolving, Ren felt no joy whatsoever.

If it were back when he first transmigrated, and he had a chance to obtain the Rinnegan, Ren would not hesitate to do it, even if it meant destroying Konoha.

However, after understanding the true nature of the Ōtsutsuki Clan and the limits of human potential, [the situation became clearer].

Rinnegan?

Even a dog wouldn't want that!

Tobi, we have no grudge against each other, why do you have to trick me like this?

He took out a scroll he had prepared beforehand, but as if remembering something, Ren put the scroll away again.

Looking at Naruto, who was still fast asleep in his arms, Ren thought to himself, "You got off easy."

Then, Ren pressed down on Naruto's head and injected a large amount of pure soul power into Naruto's body.

The power of the souls harvested by the Hellfire is almost entirely used to enhance Ren's soul essence, making the Hellfire even more powerful.

However, a small amount of pure soul power automatically flows to his eyes, causing Ren to become increasingly aligned with the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

At this point, in order to stop the evolution of his eyes, Ren had no choice but to give Naruto the largest amount of soul power he had ever accumulated.

"Ugh, ah!"

Naruto groaned comfortably while unconscious.

Ren's lips twitched as he recalled his experiences in his later life and wondered if Naruto was truly the kind of person who deserved a beating.

It is certain that this universe possesses consciousness. Naruto may indeed be the chosen one of destiny, hated by everyone in later generations but secretly envied, the illegitimate child of the universe's will.

The transfer of soul power lasted only a few breaths.

The Hellfire on Tobi's body had been extinguished. At this moment Obito's aura had not weakened much, but his face was extremely gloomy.

Ren breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, it was still the Mangekyo Sharingan; the Rinnegan hadn't been awakened.

The Moryo have caused trouble again. If it weren't for the large number of souls formed by their lingering obsessions, Obito's body would probably have changed hands again by now.

He appeared in the Ten-Tails' palm in a flash, right behind Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu, let's go!"

As he spoke, a spatial vortex appeared.

At the same time, Obito reached out and touched the back of Black Zetsu's head, his target undoubtedly the Rinnegan.

However, things did not go as Obito had imagined.

The Ten-Tails, now revived, nimbly dodged Obito's Kamui.

Black Zetsu followed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and left Obito's presence.

As someone who enjoys stabbing people in the back, Black Zetsu was startled the moment Obito's voice appeared.

"You can leave, Obito. I'll stay with the Ten-Tails..."

Black Zetsu's words stopped when he saw Obito's outstretched right hand.

"What were you trying to do, Obito?"

As he uttered the question, Black Zetsu began counting down in his mind.

Five.

Four.

Three.

The Rinnegan's fetal movements became more and more obvious, and as he felt his mother's aura growing stronger, Black Zetsu slowly began to fade from Nagato's body.

One.

At this point, Black Zetsu was only attached to Nagato's right hand.

Nagato's body now erupted with an aura no weaker than Obito's previous burst of power.

Mother, you're finally back!

Black Zetsu felt this powerful aura, and his entire body trembled irregularly.

No!!!

It's not my mother, it's that traitor Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki!

The rising momentum initially carried the familiar Kaguya aura that Black Zetsu knew, but only for that very first moment.

Next came the aura of Black Zetsu, which was equally familiar—the aura of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Hagoromo.

"Nagato wants to destroy the Rinnegan, Obito, do it now!"

In the blink of an eye, Black Zetsu fabricated a completely unfounded scenario.

At the same time, Black Zetsu began to desperately cling to Nagato's body, trying to gain control of it.

The sudden turn of events left Obito somewhat bewildered.

Just now, Black Zetsu was questioning himself about what he wanted to do.

Suddenly, he was asked to steal the Rinnegan.

Obito couldn't understand it, nor did he intend to. Stealing the Rinnegan was his original intention.

Without the slightest hesitation, Obito reappeared in front of Nagato's body, activated his Hollowfication, and headed towards Nagato's right eye socket.

Obito is fast, but there are those who are even faster.

When Nagato suddenly unleashed his terrifying power, Ren began his operation.

He wasn't there to steal the Rinnegan; instead, he used Hellfire to construct a dark portal in front of him.

Then he threw the chain that came with the Ghost Rider template into it.

"Go!"

As the iron chains reached the Pure Land, the Pure Land, which was originally filled with white light and resembled paradise, suddenly burst into flames.

In an instant, it transformed into an infernal hell.

The entire Pure Land is now ablaze.

As the Hellfire burned, iron chains appeared out of thin air in the Pure Land.

It quickly connected with the chain that Ren had thrown out, and in just a moment, the chain had enveloped the entire Pure Land.

Moryo?

He really is a piece of trash!

Faced with Obito's attack, the Sage of Six Paths, who had descended into Nagato's body, was filled with disdain.

As for the Black Zetsu spreading across his body, the Sage of Six Paths paid even less attention to it.

However, the Sage of Six Paths' ever-increasing aura suddenly froze, then shrank by nearly half.

Nagato's body swayed, and a figure in white robes appeared.

"Pfft~"

It was this momentary opening that allowed Obito to easily remove Nagato's left eye.

Black Zetsu wasn't idle either. Having taken over the right arm, he suddenly realized he could control it freely and immediately began Hand Seals without hesitation.

[The Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!]

A body materialized rapidly, accompanied by a burst of light.

Black Zetsu then controlled his right hand to gouge out his right eye socket, doing the same to Obito's target.

Just as the two were less than a centimeter away from that Rinnegan.

"Roll!"

A roar, aged yet filled with boundless rage, erupted from the Nagato.

Obito flew away uncontrollably like a cannonball, while the Rinnegan he had been holding in his other hand Rinnegan through his palm and remained in place.

Why?

I clearly enabled blurring!

Black Zetsu was flung away like a lump of mud.

The Sage of Six Paths reached out to retrieve the falling Rinnegan.

However, just as he was about to make contact, a sword slash severed his left hand.

Ren then kicked the Rinnegan that these three guys were treating like treasures, and kicked it aside like trash.

The Rinnegan flew straight towards a black, muddy mass of Black Zetsu.

"You're welcome. Our cooperation remains in effect. Go do what you need to do, Black Zetsu and Obito!"

Ren's voice appeared in Black Zetsu and Obito's ears.

Black Zetsu seemed to understand something, while Obito looked completely bewildered, but he didn't slow down.

A massive spatial vortex enveloped itself and the Ten-Tails, with Black Zetsu enveloping the Rinnegan and actively attaching itself to the surface of the Ten-Tails.

Seeing this, Ren kicked again, sending Madara Uchiha's body, whose eyes were already open and whose two Three-Tomoe Sharingan were unfocused, flying directly into the Kamui vortex.

Then, he threw Naruto in front of him, causing him to slam into Madara's body.

The next instant, the vortex disappeared, leaving only Ren and the Sage of Six Paths who had descended into Nagato's body.

"I've been waiting for you, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki!"
