In this battle against Otsutsuki Toneri, there had actually been no particularly obvious gap in strength between the two of them and him.
But Otsutsuki Toneri's Rinnegan ocular technique had simply been too impossible to counter!
Once the Limbo shadows had been destroyed, they had completely lost their means of restraining Otsutsuki Toneri.
As a result, they had been unable to fight Otsutsuki Toneri head-on at all.
Still, his ocular technique was part of Otsutsuki Toneri's own strength. Although Madara Uchiha did indeed feel deeply frustrated,
he genuinely accepted his defeat.
A loss was a loss. Any excuses or quibbling would only expose his own incompetence.
An Uchiha was not so small-minded.
"You won. It seems this world really does need new rules." Hagoromo Otsutsuki sighed softly, then smiled as he spoke slowly.
He had no other thoughts about it. This battle had only been his way of testing Otsutsuki Toneri's mettle and resolve.
Now that he had lost, he was willing to acknowledge Otsutsuki Toneri's convictions and path.
(Everyone says it's too padded... then let's end the war... next come a few brief slice-of-life chapters, then take the Naruto natives on an invasion? Emmm, flowers and votes, please, darlings.)

"If the world's rules never change, they will one day rot and decay. Following the natural order is what truly gives this world life." Otsutsuki Toneri glanced at Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Naruto, who were still holding on, and replied calmly.
If the world was to progress, it would inevitably undergo a new transformation. Otsutsuki Toneri admitted that his own selfish desires had played a part in starting this war.
But the fact remained: his unification of the continent would indeed bring it peace and new life.
