Sasuke's attack was as fast as thunder. Chidori, which was combined with Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's pupil power, tore through the air. The purple-black lightning was wrapped with the determination to kill and pierced Madara's heart. He knew very well how terrifying the enemy in front of him was, and he used all his strength as soon as he made a move. Susanoo's ribs spread out all over his body, and he was ready for offense and defense.
But Madara stood there without even turning his head, as if the surprise attack behind him didn't exist at all.
Just when Chidori was about to touch Madara's back, two invisible Limbo: Border Jail shadows suddenly appeared behind Madara. A shadow waved Black Receiver, easily shattering Sasuke's Chidori, another shadow holding a sharp blade transformed from Truth-Seeking Orb, penetrated Susanoo's ribs without any hindrance, and severely pierced Sasuke's chest.
"Pfft--"
Blood spurted out instantly, Sasuke's pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was filled with disbelief. He didn't sense any attack trajectory at all, and he didn't even notice Chakra's fluctuations. He was severely injured. His body was like a kite with broken strings. He fell heavily from the air and hit the ground, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky. The hand holding Kusanagi Sword kept shaking, and even the power to maintain Sharingan was about to collapse.
"Sasuke!" Naruto's eyes were splitting, and he roared and was about to rush over, but two other Limbo: Border Jail shadows stopped in front of him instantly, and invisible attacks came one after another, forcing him to block with Senjutsu Rasengan in embarrassment, unable to escape at all.
"It's really boring." Madara turned around slowly, and Rinnegan glanced at Sasuke on the ground indifferently. There was no wave in his tone, as if he had just crushed an intrusive insect to death, "Is this all the descendants of Uchiha are capable of?"
He walked towards Sasuke step by step. Truth-Seeking Orb behind him turned slowly. There was no murderous intention in his eyes, only a look of indifference as if he were looking at an object. "Your Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan is of some use. After I finish dealing with these trash fish, I can just recycle these eyes and return them to their original owners."
Kakashi and Kai immediately stepped in front of Sasuke. The steam around Kai became stronger and stronger, and he was ready to turn on Daytime Tiger again. Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan was spinning rapidly, and Kamui's power was ready to go, but both of them knew very well that in front of the Six Paths level power, their defense was just a thin layer of paper.
"Don't come here!" Sasuke gritted his teeth, covered the wound on his chest, and struggled to get up from the ground. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan stared at Madara, but his eyes were full of solemnity. He finally understood that the man in front of him, and all the opponents he had encountered before, were not in the same dimension at all.
On the cliff on the east side of the battlefield, Rinto's fingertips moved slightly, and the perception runes scattered into the battlefield instantly completed data synchronization.
The entire process of Sasuke's raid just now, from the increase of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to Lightning Release, the defense composition of Susanoo, to the instant interception of Limbo: Border Jail's shadow, and the disintegration of Yin-Yang Release's defense against Dōjutsu, all details have been fulfilled. Wen accurately captured it and entered it into the recording device in real time. Instead of extracting physical samples, he used runes as a medium to directly reproduce the energy hedging model of Chidori and Limbo: Border Jail attacks, clearly analyzing the insurmountable hierarchical gap between conventional Dōjutsu and Six Paths-level powers.
Rinto's eyes stayed on Sasuke for half a second, and then quickly moved back to Madara. He could clearly feel that when Madara used Limbo: Border Jail, his body didn't even notice. Without the slightest distraction, the perception and movements of the shadow and the main body are completely synchronized, and the control over Limbo: Border Jail Dimension is several orders of magnitude higher than the previous control over Kamui by Obito.
He lightly traced his fingertips over the recording device and added the Limbo: Border Jail's attack and defense response thresholds and the Chakra sharing mechanism between the shadow and the main body into the previously constructed Limbo: Border Jail rule model, improving the accuracy of the entire model by several levels.
At this moment, Naruto finally used Senjutsu Chakra's perception to disperse the shadow of Limbo: Border Jail blocking the road, retreated to Sasuke, and turned his own Senjutsu Chakra separated a part and gave it to Sasuke: "Sasuke, are you okay? Only Senjutsu can sense those invisible shadows, and only Senjutsu can hurt them!"
Sasuke took Senjutsu Chakra and barely stabilized Chakra, who was in chaos in his body. Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan locked onto Madara's body. With Naruto's Senjutsu perception, he finally managed to capture the blurred tracks of the four Limbo: Border Jail shadows, his face becoming more solemn.
"Senjutsu?" Madara sneered, stopped, and glanced at the two of them, "Obito fell for this boring trick. Do you think the same method will work for me?"
Before he finished speaking, Madara's figure disappeared instantly. The speed of Six Paths had exceeded the capture limit of the naked eye. Even Sharingan could only capture a trace of the afterimage.
"Not good!" Naruto instantly turned on Nine-Tails Senjutsu Mode, and the Senjutsu Chakra around him surged. He condensed Sage Art: Rasengan with both hands at the same time, and smashed hard in the direction of the perceived attack. Sasuke also exerted force at the same time, Complete Body Susanoo instantly unfolded, Kusanagi Sword covering Senjutsu Chakra, slashed towards the void on the side, and accurately hit the position of Limbo: Border Jail's shadow.
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, Senjutsu and Dōjutsu cooperated perfectly, blocking all of Madara's attack routes. However, their attacks were still a step slower after all.
Madara's figure appeared in the sky above the two of them. With a wave of Six Paths Staff, the two Truth-Seeking Orb instantly deformed and turned into two huge black nets, shrouding the two of them. At the same time, four Limbo: Border Jail shadows took action at the same time, launching a blind-angle attack from four different directions.
Bang bang bang!
Senjutsu Rasengan and Truth-Seeking Orb collided, and the violent energy exploded instantly. Naruto's body was severely shaken back by the shock wave, and his arm was rubbed by the aftermath of Yin-Yang Release. A deep wound appeared in an instant, and even Nine-Tails and Chakra could not be repaired quickly. Sasuke and Susanoo were also hit one after another by the shadow attacks of Limbo: Border Jail. The purple armor cracked inch by inch, the wound on the chest opened again, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
After just one meeting, the two men's joint efforts were completely defeated by Madara.
"You dare to challenge me at this level?" Madara was suspended in the air, his eyes full of disdain, "Hashirama's Senjutsu, Nine-Tails's power, and Uchiha's Dōjutsu, in your hands, it is simply a waste of natural resources."
He raised his hand and waved, and several black sealing techniques Black Receiver were instantly formed, shooting towards the two people like a heavy rain. Naruto immediately used Nine-Tails Chakra to condense a shield, and Sasuke also used Susanoo blocked with all his strength, but those Black Receiver easily penetrated the shield and Susanoo's defense, and nailed the two people's limbs and torsos. Senjutsu Chakra and Tongli were mostly sealed in an instant.
"Uh--!" The two of them groaned at the same time and fell heavily to the ground. Their bodies were pinned to Black Receiver and they could not move at all.
Everyone in the coalition fell into deathly silence. Even Naruto Sasuke, the two top new generation powerhouses Shinobi World, couldn't get through together under Madara's hand. What room for resistance did they have? The despair was like a tide, flooding the entire battlefield.
Hashirama Senju, who was nailed to the ground, looked at this scene with helpless eyes. He tried his best to mobilize Chakra, but Black Receiver's sealing power locked his meridians, and he couldn't mobilize even a trace of Senjutsu Chakra. He could only watch Madara crushing everyone wantonly.
"Did you see it, Hashirama." Madara's gaze turned to Hashirama, with a cold arc at the corner of his mouth, "These juniors you protect, these so-called successors of Will of Fire, are so vulnerable. What you have insisted on for your whole life has been wrong from the beginning."
Hashirama gritted his teeth and stared at Madara, but couldn't say a word. The reality was right in front of him. The Wood Release he was proud of and the Will of Fire he insisted on looked so pale and powerless in front of Madara's Six Paths Power.
Rinto, on the cliff, always maintained absolute calm. The perception network covered the entire battlefield and did not miss any detail.
In just a few seconds of the duel, he completely recorded the suppression logic of Six Paths level power against Senjutsu, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Dōjutsu, the efficiency of Truth-Seeking Orb's disintegration of Senjutsu Chakra, the sealing mechanism of Black Receiver's meridians on Chakra, and even the collapse process of Chakra between Naruto and Sasuke under the Six Paths level attack, all of which he accurately dismantled and archived.
He could clearly sense that Madara's control over Six Paths Power had reached the point of perfection. Even casual attacks were perfectly integrated with Yin-Yang Release and Rinnegan's pupil power is completely different from Ten-Tails's origin, Chakra, without any waste. It is completely different from the violent but rough use of power by Obito before.
What interests Rinto even more is that inside Madara's body, Ten-Tails's Chakra is completing a deeper integration with his body and soul. The original scattered source power is constantly condensing and sublimating, and even faintly stimulating an older and larger life energy deep in the earth.
Rinto's perception runes spread along the earth, and soon captured the source of that energy - that was the original power of Ten-Tails, with Madara as the core, giving birth to the foundation of God Tree. He could clearly sense that countless roots containing majestic life energy were spreading crazily underground in the battlefield, spreading towards the entire Shinobi World.
This is exactly the final form of Ten-Tails in the original work - God Tree. It is also the core carrier that Infinite Tsukuyomi can activate.
A trace of strong research interest flashed in Rinto's eyes. Several brand-new perception runes were condensed on his fingertips, which sank silently into the ground and attached to God Tree's growing root system, preparing to record in real time. The growth process of God Tree, the rules for the transformation of Ten-Tails origin Chakra into God Tree, and the underlying logic of God Tree's roots absorbing Natural Energy and life energy.
This is a rarer observation object than Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. As the source of Chakra, God Tree's growth and evolution are directly related to the most essential secret of Chakra, and it is also one of the core research goals of his trip.
On the battlefield, Madara had lost interest in continuing to tangle with these "miscellaneous fish". With a wave of his hand, he lifted some of the seals on Naruto and Sasuke, but left behind Black Receiver that restricted their movements. He glanced across the devastated battlefield and finally looked at the sky.
"Enough time has been wasted with you." Madara's voice spread slowly, with unquestionable majesty, "This boring war should end. This world full of hatred, pain and lies should also come to an end."
He slowly raised his hands, and the nine Tomoe lines in Rinnegan rotated rapidly, and the Ten-Tails origin Chakra in his body burst out without reservation, pouring into the depths of the earth.
In an instant, the ground on the entire battlefield began to tremble violently. Countless thick, mountain-like wooden roots broke out from the ground, growing and spreading crazily upwards. These roots were completely black and covered with Rinnegan lines. They grew at an extremely fast rate. In just a few seconds, they broke through the clouds and extended crazily toward the sky.
The earth cracked and magma surged, but the roots that broke out of the earth were harder than steel. Even the natural disasters caused by Ten-Tails before could not damage them at all. The majestic life energy and Chakra flowed crazily in these root systems, making Chakra throughout the world begin to become restless.
"That... what is that?!" A ninja collapsed on the ground, looking at the huge root system that covered the sky and the sun, his voice full of extreme fear.
"It's God Tree... the source of the legendary Chakra, God Tree!" An older ninja recognized this legendary existence, his face turned pale and his whole body was shaking.
Hashirama Senju looked at the crazily growing God Tree, and his face instantly became extremely ugly. He had seen records about God Tree and Infinite Tsukuyomi in Konoha's ancient books. It is clear what Madara is going to do - once God Tree blooms, Infinite Tsukuyomi will turn on, and everyone in the world will fall into an eternal dream, and will eventually be sucked out of life by God Tree and become White Zetsu.
"Madara! Are you crazy?!" Hashirama roared, "Infinite Tsukuyomi is not peace at all, you are going to destroy the entire Shinobi World!"
"Destroy?" Madara sneered and glanced at him indifferently, "I am saving the world. Only in the dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi can everyone get true happiness. There is no war, no death, no loss, and all regrets can be made up for. This is true peace."
After his words fell, the growth of God Tree had entered a fever pitch. Countless roots intertwined and gathered in the sky, eventually forming a giant tree that ran through the sky and the earth. The tree crown blocked the sky and the sun, completely covering the sky of the entire battlefield. At the top of the tree crown, a huge flower bud was slowly taking shape, and a huge Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan was printed on the surface of the flower bud.
As long as the buds bloom, Infinite Tsukuyomi will instantly cover the entire world, and no one will be spared.
Naruto looked at the God Tree tree that penetrated the sky and the earth, his eyes were red with anxiety, and he tried desperately to break free from the shackles of Black Receiver, but the power of the seal locked his Chakra, unable to move at all. Kakashi, Kai, Minato and others also turned pale. They knew very well that once Infinite Tsukuyomi was turned on, everything would be over.
As for the Rinto on the cliff, all the attention at the moment is placed on the God Tree, which is growing crazily.
The sensory runes he scattered into the ground are continuously sending back data. The growth mechanism of God Tree's roots, the transformation process of Ten-Tails Chakra into plant life forms, the rules of fusion of Natural Energy and life energy, and even the pulling and assimilation of God Tree's roots to the earth's dragon veins have all been completely recorded by him.
He could even clearly sense that every root system of God Tree was frantically absorbing the Natural Energy deep in the earth, and at the same time, it was also silently absorbing the entire Shinobi World The weak life energy of all living things provides nutrients for the buds at the top. This method of energy extraction across the entire planet is completely beyond the scope of conventional Ninjutsu and touches on the most original rules of life in this world.
Rinto slowly raised his hand, and an extremely subtle ripple of space formed on his fingertips. However, he did not touch God Tree's body. He just accurately intercepted a wisp of the most original life energy emitted from God Tree's root system and sealed it into a specially made rune container that can lock life energy.
This ray of energy is more precious than all the samples he has collected before. It contains the secret of the source of Chakra, and can even allow him to form a new understanding of the creation rules of Yin-Yang Release and the birth and evolution of life.
Just when the bud of God Tree was about to take shape, a sudden change occurred.
Obito, who was dying and controlled by Black Zetsu, suddenly burst out with a weak but extremely determined Chakra. He suddenly raised his head, his distracted eyes regrouped, stared at Madara in the sky, and roared with all his strength.
"Madara... don't even think... that you can succeed like this..."
The Black Zetsu hidden in his body instantly noticed the abnormal movement of Obito. The cold Chakra broke out again, trying to completely suppress his consciousness. But this time, Obito burst out with amazing willpower. Even if his life force was exhausted, he was still desperately resisting the erosion of Black Zetsu.
Everyone's eyes fell on Obito. No one thought that this man who had exhausted all his energy and energy could still burst out with such power.
And Rinto's perception also instantly locked the position of Obito. He could clearly sense the remaining trace of Ten-Tails in Obito's body. Chakra, is merging with his willpower, even faintly touching the residual power of Six Paths. More importantly, Black Zetsu, in order to suppress Obito had to expose more of Chakra's characteristics. Those ancient rule imprints that he had perfectly hidden before were now accurately captured by Rinto's perception runes.
Madara also glanced down at Obito, his eyes full of contempt and disdain. "How dare a defeated general speak arrogant words? Black Zetsu, deal with him and don't let him make any more noise."
"Yes, Lord Madara." Black Zetsu's cold voice sounded, and Chakra's erosion intensified instantly. Obito let out a painful groan, and his body went limp again, but his eyes were still staring at Madara, without giving in at all.
And Rinto, also at this moment, completed the investigation of Black Zetsu A complete record of the characteristics of Chakra. He could clearly sense that Chakra of Black Zetsu contained an ancient mark that was homologous to Ten-Tails but completely different from the Ōtsutsuki Clan, even older than the Six Paths-level Chakra.
This gave him a clearer judgment on the true identity of Black Zetsu, and a clearer expectation for the subsequent plot direction.
Above the sky, the buds of God Tree have been completely formed, and the huge Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan is slowly rotating on the buds, exuding a heart-stopping and terrifying atmosphere. The countdown to the opening of Infinite Tsukuyomi has begun.
The entire battlefield has fallen into unprecedented despair. Everyone knows that once the buds bloom, they will completely lose the chance to resist and become nutrients for God Tree.
At this moment, Might Guy, who had been standing next to Sasuke, slowly took a step forward. The blue steam around him gradually converged, but his eyes became extremely firm. His eyes were fixed on Madara in the air and he clenched his fists.
He looked at Naruto and Sasuke nailed to the ground, looked at Hashirama and Tobirama sealed, looked at the desperate coalition ninjas, took a deep breath, and made his own decision.
Kakashi noticed something strange about Kai, and his expression changed instantly. "Kai! What are you going to do?!"
Kai did not look back, but spoke slowly, with a calm voice, but with an indomitable determination. "Kakashi, I have decided. Now, the only one who can hurt Madara is pure Taijutsu. And the only one who can break this desperate situation is me."
A stream of red steam slowly began to rise around him, and a life-burning terrifying aura that far surpassed Seventh Gate slowly erupted from his body.
