Meikyō looked at his little brother with expectant eyes.
"The power of the Meikyō is far superior to ours. Now, Minato and the others are being suppressed by the Meikyō's other space-time Dojutsu. Shisui, if we want to break this deadlock, we'll have to see if your Dojutsu can create a surprise."
While fending off Buddha Form Susanoo and using his eye power to repair the damage to the Perfect Susanoo, Uchiha Fugaku spoke to Shisui.
Although they were badly beaten, the two Perfect Susanoo barely hold on for a short time.
"Clan Chief Fugaku, do you know why I volunteered for the third support position in the first place?"
Shisui's Sharingan eyes darted around, tracking the trajectory of Susanoo's fist as he defended, and he retorted to Uchiha Fugaku.
"Of course, it's because you know your Dojutsu is very suitable for this. It's just that Meikyō's strength is too great, at least one level stronger than us. As soon as he made a move, he disrupted our previously arranged tactical deployment."
"Uchiha Fugaku replied."
"Indeed, my Dojutsu is well-suited for controlling the situation and providing support. Even in this situation, I am confident that I can find a way to break the deadlock. However, I need Clan Chief Fugaku to use your abilities to help me open a path to Brother Meikyō."
"That's going to be difficult. Putting aside whether I can do it, the fact that I've consumed so much eye power at once means I won't be able to recover in a short time. I'll be in a brief vacuum period where I won't Perfect Susanoo."
"Clan Chief Fugaku, please do your best. As for the rest, leave it to my eyes!"
Shisui said confidently.
Upon seeing this, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.
Meikyō is also looking forward to it.
So he decided to go easy on people and not use the newly copied Destiny Reading to bully them anymore.
"Amaterasu!"
"The Destiny Reading!"
Uchiha Fugaku's eyes blazed with a bright red light, and black Amaterasu flames ignited on the katana held in the right hand of his brownish-red Perfect Susanoo.
"Uchiha Style: Sun Breathing: Amaterasu Dragon Dance!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Meikyō's eyes.
When did this old bastard copy my moves?
His swordsmanship was slightly lacking, but he still possessed about five-tenths of the main character's imposing presence.
Uchiha Fugaku had already secretly copied this move of Meikyō during several battles he had participated in before.
Knowing Breathing Technique, Uchiha Style Swordsmanship, and Amaterasu, besides the original Meikyō, only the father-son duo of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Itachi meet these requirements in the Ninja World.
Itachi was still young and died too early. He was even younger when he defected. Although his Breathing Technique and swordsmanship were decent, they hadn't actually reached a very high level.
Uchiha Fugaku was different. His Uchiha Style Swordsmanship was already quite good. More than ten years ago, when Meikyō made a name for himself with a sword, many members of the Uchiha Clan went to study swordsmanship further in order to become the next Uchiha Meikyō. After more than ten years of study and the accumulation of time, Uchiha Fugaku's swordsmanship and Breathing Technique reached a good level.
He is considered very strong, at least within Konoha, otherwise he wouldn't meet the conditions to use this technique.
In Meikyō's opinion, his swordsmanship was so-so, but others thought otherwise.
With this unexpected move, Uchiha Fugaku severed a large number of Susanoo arms in an instant, clearing a space. Then, he controlled the Perfect Susanoo, with the Susanoo Amaterasu Black Dragon dancing on the Susanoo Blade in his hand, and rushed towards Meikyō with overwhelming momentum.
He knew, of course, that his move would not be very effective against the master, whose swordsmanship and Breathing Technique were far superior.
Therefore, he placed his hopes on Shisui, hoping to restrain Meikyō himself.
Coincidentally, Minato Namikaze, with his exceptional combat awareness, also noticed the situation. He manipulated the Golden Nine-Tails to teleport to the other side, holding a huge golden Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan in his hand, attempting to join forces with Fugaku to attack Meikyō from both sides.
Despite this scene, Meikyō remained standing atop the head Buddha Form Susanoo, without moving an inch.
With his left hand, he drew the Ama-no-Ohabari and used the same Amaterasu Dragon Dance to meet Uchiha Fugaku. With his right hand, he unleashed a Gravity Fist copied from Blast, aiming at the golden Tailed Beast Ball Rasengan that the Golden Nine-Tails was smashing towards him.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The next second, the black Amaterasu, the white spatial energy, and the golden Nine-Tails Chakra converged together in an instant, and then exploded with a bang.
The sea beneath their feet was instantly blasted into towering waves, revealing the seabed.
Countless fish, shrimp, corals, and seaweed were tossed into the sky, accompanied by a torrential downpour of seawater.
The upper half of the Senju Susanoo Great Buddha's body was completely erased under the cover of this powerful energy.
The brownish-red Perfect Susanoo had also disappeared, and Uchiha Fugaku, whose eye power was slightly weakened, was transferred away by Minato Flying Thunder God Minato Namikaze while being controlled by the Golden Nine-Tails.
They accomplished their task of containing the enemy.
Because Uchiha Shisui's blue-green Perfect Susanoo already descended.
A strong gust of wind blew Meikyō's haori, and a pair of purple Rinnegan at Shisui, who was enveloped by the Perfect Susanoo.
"The Water World!"
The haori that was fluttering in the wind stopped at that moment.
The coral, fish, shrimp, pebbles, and seawater that were falling from the sky were frozen in mid-air at this moment.
The area centered around the Shisui looks as if a time stop button has been pressed.
This includes Meikyō and Shisui.
"This is not a time stop."
Uchiha Fugaku was over a thousand meters away from the two, said after catching his breath.
At that moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.
At the point closest to the Shisui, everything seemed to have stopped, while further Shisui, the objects falling from the sky continued their descent, albeit at an extremely slow speed.
The farther away from Shisui, the faster the speed; by the time you reach the location of Minato and Fugaku, the effects have almost disappeared.
"Although it's hard to detect, I can still see it clearly with my Sharingan vision. The things inside still have subtle movement patterns. To be precise, this should be a powerful Dojutsu that slows down the flow of time!"
"Time..."
Inside the head of the Golden Nine-Tails, Minato Namikaze and Kushina exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
The power of time!
"I wonder if Shisui's move will be effective."
"It should... be able to achieve some results."
At the core of the Water World, Shisui moved slowly, detached from the Perfect Susanoo, and stretched out his finger toward the Meikyō.
Shisui's fingers were getting closer and closer to the Meikyō, but the closer they got to the Meikyō, the slower they moved.
The last short distance of one decimeter became an insurmountable chasm.
This is Spatial Barrier that Meikyō had set up in advance in front of him.
Space and time are never independent of each other.
Space changes with the passage of time, and time changes with the shift of space. Time and space influence each other, and the concept of spacetime is formed by the unity of the two.
Only with space and time can the existence and movement of matter have meaning.
Although Meikyō, who copied the spatial ability from Blast, cannot manipulate time or directly affect it like Shisui's Dojutsu, it doesn't mean he has no means of countering it.
Whether it's utilizing the influence of space on time or using the Destiny Reading, it ensures that the Meikyō has a certain degree of self-protection when encountering time-related abilities.
In an instant, Meikyō's body shattered like Bubble, and he instantly appeared a thousand meters away, beside the Golden Nine-Tails and Fugaku.
"That's amazing, Shisui's Dojutsu."
Meikyō looked at Fugaku, Minato, Kushina, who were all on high alert, and said with a smile.
A kilometer away, Shisui was startled to see the Meikyō suddenly disappear. He then deactivated his ability and fell helplessly into the water along with the debris.
"It seems that even with its ability to Shisui, it can't withstand the strain after a short while."
Meikyō smiled again and reached out to make a grasping motion towards the distance.
A bluish-green light, representing Psychic Power, shone and carried the unconscious Shisui over.
Just then, Minato and Kushina Sage Fox Mode timeout ended, and the two figures fell from the dissipating Nine-Tails Chakra, stepping onto the water's surface.
Upon seeing this, Fugaku touched his nose and voluntarily sheathed his sword.
Shisui fell into a coma, and the fusion of Minato and Kushina ended. Although his own eye power recovered to the point where he could activate the Perfect Susanoo after catching his breath for a while, based on the previous battle, it probably wouldn't be of much use.
"Twenty-three minutes and forty-eight seconds, Minato, we've improved by twenty-four seconds compared to last time!"
Kushina looked at the watch on her wrist and said to Minato with delight.
"Aha, so in other words, we only lasted twenty-three minutes under Meikyō's control, and it seems that apart from Shisui's Shisui just now, Meikyō didn't use his full strength."
Minato Namikaze scratched his head and gave an awkward laugh.
"Actually, we've used up most of our abilities. Minato, with your abilities, you really have a good chance of taking down Madara and the First Hokage when they teamed up last time."
Meikyō smiled and said.
All the abilities that should be used have been used, so naturally, the abilities that shouldn't have been used haven't been used.
If he were to actually use the Gravity Dimensional Slash, which he had just developed based on Blast and his own abilities, or a new move developed based on Solar Storm, Meikyō couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't lose control and cause bad consequences.
Of course, Meikyō estimated that if the three of them joined forces, relying on their respective time and space abilities, as well as their extensive combat experience and tactical skills, they might actually be able to take down some weaker Six Paths level experts.
"Shisui, he should be alright, right?"
Fugaku turned his gaze to Shisui, who was being lifted into the air by Psychic Power.
"It's nothing. This kid is probably using his Dojutsu in actual combat for the first time. He didn't know how much it consumed, and the excessive consumption of his eye power caused him to become exhausted. He can drink a bottle of Golden Potion when he gets back, and he will recover in no time."
As Meikyō spoke, she opened a Teleportation Circle leading to the island where Dan Katō and the others were located.
On the island, Tsunade received Shisui with a complicated expression, made the same diagnosis as Meikyō, and gave Shisui a Golden Potion. A few minutes later, Chakra, whose Shisui had been restored, slowly woke up.
"Meikyō ..."
Dan Katō patted Meikyō on the shoulder, looking quite emotional.
"The power of the First Hokage, Madara, and now Minato and Fugaku Shisui, while still above ours, is at least within our comprehension. But now, as your teacher, I really can't understand what level your power has reached."
Dan Katō now felt that the gap between himself and Meikyō was even greater than the gap between Genin and a kage.
"Your strength has far surpassed that of your elder brother. I can tell that you didn't use your full strength in the battle just now."
Tobirama Senju's expression became even more complicated as he looked at Meikyo.
Why.
Why is someone so strong and powerful an Uchiha and not Senju?
Fortunately, Tobirama Senju has accepted reality.
"Meikyō, you'd better tell me honestly, how much of your strength did you contribute in the battle just now?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at Meikyō and asked.
I finally managed to become powerful thanks to my dead son, thinking that even if I couldn't beat you, at least the gap wouldn't be as big as it used to be.
It now appears that the gap between the two sides has not been narrowed.
"At first it was 60%, then it was 70% when you and Minato Kushina teamed up to attack. By the time Shisui used his Dojutsu, he had already used almost all the techniques he could. So you guys are still very strong."
Meikyō wasn't embarrassed by the praise from everyone; instead, she returned the compliment.
"You've used all the available techniques, so there must be some unusable techniques left? It seems you have some powerful forbidden techniques."
Jiraiya put his hand on Minato Namikaze's shoulder and grinned.
"Ah, there are even more powerful techniques, in order to prevent encountering enemies stronger than Madara and the others."
Meikyō told the truth.
"Tsk, unbelievable. With your current strength, you still have enemies that even you need forbidden techniques to deal with? I'm afraid even the resurrected Sage of Six Paths couldn't do that, right?"
Jiraiya clicked his tongue in amazement.
Upon hearing this, Meikyō lowered her head and thought about it seriously.
"If the Sage of Six Paths really does come back to life, I should be able to barely protect myself, right? It's hard to say whether I can win."
Jiraiya twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat speechless.
So you really consider the Sage of Six Paths as a hypothetical enemy?
Meikyō is indeed using the Sage of Six Paths as a hypothetical enemy.
Otsutsuki Kaguya's strength has already been demonstrated in the original work, but the Sage of Sage of Six Paths is not.
This old guy has never actually made a move, but even in his spirit form, he has accomplished many things that even the current Meikyō cannot do.
He resurrected Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki, who had already died, and bestowed upon them the Six Paths Yin Power and the Six Paths Yang Power, thus elevating their two Super Kage-level combat abilities to the Six Paths level.
They didn't actually make a move; they merely used Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke to perform a feat that could seal Kaguya's Chibaku Tensei.
