Ch. 481Ōtsutsuki Sasuke vs. Māra Naruto!

Sasuke fought Māra in Naruto’s body on the Sand Death Star, dodging a space-piercing Tailed Beast Bomb and wounding Māra’s white Rinnegan. He decided to weaken Māra by repeatedly destroying his Rinne Sharingan and began preparing a way to bypass Kamui’s Phasing.

  • Māra used Yachihoko to transfer undigested chakra to Obito and fired a Great Truth-Seeking Tear at Sasuke, who escaped with Ashubha.

  • Sasuke activated the Divine Technique: Immeasurable to break through Māra’s Kamui Phasing.

Ch. 482Divine Technique: Immeasurable!

Sasuke repeatedly used Ashubha and Immeasurable to destroy Māra’s Rinne Sharingan and prevent him from building power or counterattacking. Though Māra’s strength dwindled, he endured the attacks and prepared to rely on his divine technique, Void Māra.

  • Sasuke used Immeasurable and a miniature Yomotsu Hirasaka portal to pierce Māra’s Rinne Sharingan during Ashubha, interrupting his Tailed Beast Bomb.

Ch. 483Divine Technique: Void Māra!

  • Māra provoked Sasuke and fired a Great Truth-Seeking Tear, forcing Sasuke to use Ashubha and charge at close range.
  • Sasuke used Golden Wheel Life-Extinguishing Light, but Māra severed both their right arms after adapting to Ashubha, and Sasuke escaped the point-blank teardrop with Amenotejikara.

  • Māra explained that Void Māra adapted to phenomena and created immunity to techniques, revealing that Ashubha would no longer affect him.
  • Māra said Void Māra also improved his own techniques and fired a Tailed Beast Bomb teardrop that split into two equally powerful projectiles.

Ch. 484When the nest falls, no egg survives!

Sasuke used Agaru to ambush Māra, but the attack failed when Obito’s unstable condition released the Yomotsu Hirasaka Seal. The two fighters resumed their long-range exchange as the Sand Death Star began nearing destruction, while Obito struggled to keep his will and body intact.

  • Sasuke used Agaru to rewind the battle and strike Māra, but Obito’s unstable condition caused the Yomotsu Hirasaka Seal to release and let Māra phase through the attack.
  • Sasuke used Yomotsu Hirasaka: Body as the Passage to redirect Māra’s Water Drops, which detonated across the Sand Death Star.

  • Māra formed a defensive net with his Fire-Tipped Spear and continued firing Water Drops at Sasuke, worsening the damage to the Sand Death Star’s crust.
  • Obito’s body swelled under the power of the two Ten-Tails, and he clung to thoughts of Rin as he fought to resist being consumed.

Ch. 485Desperate Straits, Turning the Tables!

Māra adapted the Water Drops into spatial Nets that trapped Sasuke and disrupted his Yomotsu Hirasaka, then revealed that the bombardment had damaged the planet’s core enough to trigger an explosion. As Māra prepared to escape the planet’s destruction, Obito emerged in a new blood-red haori from an abyss in the planet’s crust.

  • Māra realized the Water Drops’ spatial ruptures could exploit the boundaries of Sasuke’s Yomotsu Hirasaka and used Subjugation Adaptation to evolve their attack.

  • Sasuke recognized that the Nets disrupted his spatial anchor, but relied on Immeasurable to calculate and counter the effect.
  • Māra announced that the bombardment had irreversibly damaged the planet’s core and that delayed Water Drop explosions would destroy it in thirty seconds.
  • Māra planned to escape with Kamui while Sasuke remained trapped, and Obito emerged in an abyss within the planet’s crust wearing a new blood-red haori.

Ch. 486Madness was the key to survival!

Obito used Void Māra to break free of Yachihoko’s control and reached Sasuke as Māra’s planet-destroying trap entered its final countdown. Sasuke escaped with Obito, while Māra copied Ōgetsuhime and chose to face the explosion in hopes of growing stronger.

  • Obito discovered that Void Māra had let him adapt to Yachihoko, resist Māra’s control, and use Kamui to destroy the spatial Net around Sasuke.

  • The Ten-Tails swallowed Momoshiki and Urashiki, matured into a God Tree, and began growing a second flower bud that could produce a Chakra Fruit.
  • Obito implanted Momoshiki's Rinnegan in his palms and watched the bud absorb natural energy, worrying that the plan might do wrong by Naruto.

Ch. 488Full-Throttle Frenzy (II)!!

Ch. 490Divine Technique: Killing Intent Reflection!
