"The Dao is divided into Yin and Yang. So that's how it is. What you carved on the Uchiha Stone Tablet at the end was actually your own interpretation of Yin and Yang. The two forces repel each other, yet they combine to form one, thus creating all things in the universe. By evolving the power of Yin Power and Yang Power to their extremes, theoretically, one can evolve all things, including life. By filling Yin with Yang and Yang with Yin, one can also achieve perfection. Therefore, the inner elixir is formed, and the Yang spirit emerges."
When the first Yang Power was born, Meikyō had a sudden realization and took the initiative to combine this wisp of Yang Power with a wisp of Yin Power, introducing it into his golden core.
In an instant, the golden elixir, which was originally just a gelatinous substance, became a solid, and the primordial spirit gradually transitioned from the Yin spirit stage to the Yang spirit stage.
"I understand now. So you two are currently in the state of Yang Spirits, which is why you can freely travel Pure Land and reality without restraint. Even if your physical bodies decay, your primordial spirits can live on in the world, rather than truly dying."
Meikyō's body floated up, and like the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki, a long robe with Tomoe patterns appeared on his body.
However, Meikyō waved her hand, concealing the robe and restoring it to its original state.
"Hamura and I are not true Otsutsuki, and we cannot possess the Karma like other Otsutsuki. However, we can still exist in this world in this way. It's just that our understanding of Yin and Yang is far from reaching its limit. Therefore, I usually slumber at the boundary between the Pure Land and the mortal world, which is the place where Yin and Yang are most balanced. There, I can learn the most knowledge from nature, my teacher. Hamura also built a cemetery on the moon for the souls of his descendants to rest in, using his own way to understand the balance of Yin and Yang."
The Sage of Six Paths said with a gentle expression.
"Now, it's time to turn them back into the living from the dead. Give me the Yang Power."
Meikyō turned her gaze to Madara and Hashirama.
"Use my Yang Power to revive them. As the reincarnations of my elder brother's sons, they are more compatible with his power. So, I will use my Yang Power to revive them. Although I spent a lot on the moon before, it is still enough to revive the two of them."
Hamura Otsutsuki spread his hands, and the symbols of the Hiyori and moon appeared on the palms of his hands respectively.
Meikyō also stretched out his hands and pressed them together with Hamura Otsutsuki's palms, receiving the infusion of Hamura's power.
"The Rinnegan is the embodiment of the Power of All Creation and Yang. Therefore, the Reanimation Rebirth Technique can reverse Yin and Yang and turn the dead back into the living. You gather the Yang Power and pour it into the Rinnegan to activate the Rebirth of the Samsara."
The Sage of Six Paths, observing the state of the Meikyō, offered some guidance.
Meikyō withdrew his palms and clapped them together, closed his eyes, fused yin and yang, made a seal in front of his chest, then opened his eyes and aimed them at Madara and Hashirama.
However, Meikyō did not take any further action.
Until Orochimaru took out two syringes from his pocket.
"You two... you understand."
Orochimaru chuckled and placed the two syringes in Madara and Hashirama's hands.
Hashirama Senju was about to stab himself without hesitation, but Madara stopped him.
"Wait... can I trade one with Hashirama?"
Uchiha Madara stood still and looked at Orochimaru.
"Hehe, of course, because both are exactly the same."
Orochimaru slowly nodded to Hashirama Senju.
"Ban, stop thinking about any more underhanded tricks."
Hashirama Senju sighed, exchanged syringes with Uchiha Madara, and then injected himself without hesitation.
The First Hokage's Cells surged into the body Impure World Reincarnation. Before the Reanimated Body, Meikyō pointed one hand at Hashirama Senju.
"The Reanimation Rebirth Technique!"
Yin and Yang reversed, and in an instant, a white steam emanated from Hashirama Senju's body, and the cracks on his body were quickly repaired.
In less than ten seconds, a living First Hokage appeared before everyone.
"What are you waiting for, Uchiha Madara?"
Meikyō looked at Uchiha Madara with a dangerous gaze.
"Snort!"
Ban had no choice but to give up struggling and, in a fit of desperation, plunge the needle into his body.
The next second, white steam rose again.
The cracks on Madara's body were rapidly disappearing, but his Rinnegan shattered completely.
However, Hamura Otsutsuki gave a lot of Six Paths Power. When the last bit of Six Paths Power was used up, a pair of purple Rinnegan reappeared in Madara's eye sockets.
In the original timeline, Obito was possessed by Black Zetsu and used the Rebirth of the Samsara, which consumed his own life force. If half of his body hadn't been composed of White Zetsu Cells with abundant life force, he would have died immediately after being resurrected. At that time, Madara didn't have the Rinnegan after being resurrected.
The Rinnegan is a product of the Six Paths level. Only power of the same or higher level can make Madara's Rinnegan reappear, and the Six Paths Power perfectly meets this requirement.
The Six Paths Power given by Hamura Otsutsuki should have been based on perfect compatibility with Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara.
Not only was Madara resurrected along with his Rinnegan, but Hashirama Senju's Sage Body was also completely replicated.
"Next, it's my turn. I will give the Yang Power to Hashirama and the Yin Power to Madara. Although the Six Paths Power is only complete when Yin and Yang are combined, you currently only possess one part of it. The key to this battle lies with Meikyō, because only you can fully master the Six Paths Power. Madara and Hashirama's task is to restrain the enemy and be ready to combine Yin and Yang at any time to severely damage them."
The Sage of Sage of Six Paths also imprinted the sun and moon symbols on the palms of his hands, which he then instilled into Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju.
Madara seemed to have drawn out some of the remaining Ten-Tails power from his soul by the Yin Power. His hair turned white, seven Truth-Seeking Orb appeared on his back, and one of his eyes turned into Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
Behind Hashirama Senju were nine Truth-Seeking Orbs, and a red Sage's face appeared on his face. Then, under the infusion of the Six Paths Yang Power, the Sage's face lit up with golden light and turned into golden patterns that covered Hashirama Senju's red armor.
The Truth-Seeking Orb is formed by the fusion of Yin-Yang and Five Elements power. In the hands of the Sage of Six Paths, once it is used up, it can be remade, but it requires some effort and time.
Uchiha Madara achieved this using the remaining power of the Ten-Tails, while Hashirama Senju was able to do so because of the feedback from the Six Paths Power and the enhancement of Senjutsu, which formed the Six Paths Senjutsu.
The Truth-Seeking Orb generated in their case cannot be regenerated; once they're gone, they're gone. However, Truth-Seeking Orb are very sturdy and generally won't break unless attacked by Six Paths level attack, such as Night Guy, which can shatter them.
When facing Six Paths level opponent, if you throw it away like Naruto did, it will most likely be a one-time use item, never to return.
"This power... is exactly the same as when I possessed the Ten-Tails, and this vibrant body..."
Uchiha Madara examined his hands and feet, then looked up at the sky.
"That should make me feel really fired up when I fight that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!"
Meikyō noticed that the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' body had dimmed imperceptibly by a fraction.
The power he granted to Uchiha Madara and Hashirama Senju should have been greater than the power he granted to Sasuke and Naruto in the original timeline.
The current Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is definitely much more dangerous than Otsutsuki Kaguya!
It seems the Sage of Six Paths has really gone all out this time.
"From now on, it will be difficult for me to provide you with any more assistance. For the rest of the time, I can only continue to share our insights on the Six Paths Power with you. If you can improve during this period, you will have a better chance of winning."
The Sage of Six Paths resumed his sermons.
These past few days have been mainly reserved to help Meikyō generate more Six Paths Yang Power.
The power contained within the combination of Yin Power and Yang Power is far more complex than simply one plus one equals two.
For ten consecutive days, for the first five days, Meikyō simultaneously diverted his attention to receive the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki's interpretation of Yin and Yang, while also creating the Six Paths Yang Power.
Later, after the two old men were completely drained, Meikyō spent another whole day discussing with them and gained some new insights. Then he continued to focus all his efforts on creating the Six Paths Yang Power.
Of course, in reality, Meikyō and his group spent more than ten days together.
This is because Meikyō used approximately one-tenth of its own Yin Power as a price to slow down the passage of time in this small area.
This significantly increased the Yang Power of the Meikyō.
Although it is not yet on par with the Yin Power, Meikyō estimates that it is enough to support two battles of the same level.
Day 11.
The 7th day of the 3rd month of the 55th year of Konoha.
In one month, Meikyō will celebrate her birthday.
On that very night, something strange happened on the moon.
A massive, God Tree spread out from the surface of the moon, its roots covering the entire moon.
The God Tree seemed to span the heavens and earth, rapidly surging towards the Ninja World below.
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki stood on the flower bud of the God Tree and swallowed Chakra Fruit that looked somewhat like a peach and was as red as a heart.
Dark patterns suddenly spread across his body.
This is Kaguya's Karma. According to the tradition of the Otsutsuki Clan, a thousand years ago, Kaguya was supposed to sacrifice herself to the God Tree to become Isshiki Chakra Fruit to consume. Isshiki would then find a suitable container and transfer the Karma to it, thereby reviving Kaguya.
However, it seems that Isshiki has no intention of reviving Kaguya now. On the contrary, Kaguya's wedge on Isshiki's body will cause Kaguya's power to converge on Isshiki.
"Glug."
The sound of flesh writhing rang out, and a crack appeared between Isshiki's brows, revealing a golden Rinnegan with nine Tomoe.
"Not bad, there's even a new Dojutsu. What a planet brimming with Natural Energy! This power should have belonged to me a thousand years ago. If it weren't for that stupid woman Kaguya, I would already be one of the Otsutsuki Clan members closest to the Ōtsutsuki God!"
"And this world below, if I can turn it into my resources again, then that one can be removed! Uchiha Meikyō's bloodline is very close to that of a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, so he should be qualified to be sacrificed to the Ten-Tails. If that doesn't work, I can revive Kaguya and sacrifice her again. Right now, those guys below must be very panicked, right?"
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's eyes were filled with intense excitement.
The top of the God Tree has already crossed space and is about to reach Earth's atmosphere.
However, at that moment, a crimson grid barrier slowly appeared on the ground.
This is a super-large barrier developed by Meikyō's Wood Clone, which references the magic circles of the three great sanctuaries protecting Earth in the Marvel universe, and incorporates Sealing Technique such as the Four Red Yang Formation and the Uchiha Flame Formation from the Naruto World. It can absorb Chakra to maintain itself and is activated by four Super Kage-level powerhouses, each leading 20,000 ninjas, at the four corners of the Ninja World continent.
To the west of the Land of Wind is the Golden Nine-Tails formed by Minato Namikaze and Kushina; to the west of the Land of Earth is Uchiha Fugaku; to the Land of Fire is Uchiha Shisui; and as for the Land of Water ...
"Can the light hold up?"
Tsunade looked at the little girl at the very front with a worried expression, released her Yin Seal, and reinforced her body while providing her with Chakra.
"With the ninja tools provided by Orochimaru and everyone helping me share the burden, I can do it!"
Uchiha Hikari said with a determined look on his face.
She received a transplant of Hashirama Cells from Uchiha Madara, and now, with the aid of the Golden Potion, she can use her Dojutsu to connect and aggregate the Chakra of everyone.
However, compared to the other three directions, Uchiha Hikari is still the weakest here. Therefore, not only Tsunade is here, but also Nohara Rin, the only remaining Jinchuriki besides Kushina, is here to provide him with the Three-Tails 'Chakra. Orochimaru created only a little over a thousand ninja tools to assist in connecting Chakra, but because the time was too short, more than half of them were prioritized for supply here.
After all, if Meikyō were to fight with its full power now, it could actually destroy a large planet.
"Pfft! Is that guy trying to stop me using this method?"
A cold smile appeared on Isshiki's face. He conjured a black staff in his hand and slammed it towards the red barrier.
In the next instant, a slash traversed space, obliterating Isshiki's attack.
"This is certainly not meant to stop you, but simply to prevent the battle from becoming too chaotic and accidentally destroying this planet."
In space, Teleportation Circle appeared, and Meikyō, Uchiha Madara Hashirama Senju together in front of Isshiki.
Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara have also mastered the ability to fly. The former possesses Six Paths Senjutsu, similar to Naruto, while the latter is also proficient in using the repulsive and attractive forces of the Rinnegan, and can also levitate using this ability.
The Six Paths Yang Power and the Six Paths Yin Power can provide enough energy to resist pressure and replace normal survival functions such as breathing, enabling them to live in space for a certain period of time.
In less than half a month, although it was not enough for them to fully master the use of Yang Power and Yin Power, it was enough for them to become familiar with these two powers to a certain extent.
