"Ugh... ah..."
With his throat in a chokehold, Uchiha Senmon could barely speak. He struggled to cast a glance outward.
Miss Jeanne was barely breathing, but she was still alive. Thank goodness...
"Opening the Gate of Death of the Eight Gates means certain death, even for a Sage Body like Hashirama's. But the God Tree's power kept her alive."
Noticing Uchiha Senmon's gaze, Six Paths Madara deigned to explain:
"But there is no need to celebrate. Your fates are already sealed: to nourish the God Tree with your lives and cultivate a God Tree Fruit that will grant me dominion over life, death, and reincarnation."
With that, Six Paths Madara rode into the air, lifting Uchiha Senmon and Jeanne as he flew south.
Uchiha Senmon was also on the verge of death now. Powerless to resist, he could only let himself be manipulated.
The collision between the Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb and Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands had nearly severed Honshu Island at the waist. Konoha, deep inland, had narrowly escaped the seawater-filled crater, though it would be a coastal settlement from now on.
Not far away stood the severed stump of the God Tree, its gnarled, dragonlike roots gripping the earth.
Six Paths Madara descended with the two of them.
With a thud, Uchiha Senmon landed on the ground like a torn sack. Forcing his battered body upright, he looked up.
Four vine-wrapped cocoons hung from a root that had broken through the ground.
"Inaba, and the other Five Kage caught in the Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Red light flashed in his right eye as Uchiha Senmon murmured.
An instant later, something changed abruptly beneath his feet, and several roots burst out of the soil.
Barely able to stand without swaying, Uchiha Senmon naturally had no strength to dodge.
