Upon hearing this answer, Ban completely relaxed.
He looked at the devastated land in the distance, as if he were seeing the Valley of the End from long ago, and the man who stood shoulder to shoulder with him on the battlefield.
Hashirama Senju.
They once wanted to end the chaos of the world.
They once dreamed of creating an era where children wouldn't have to go to war.
Unfortunately, one wrong step led to another.
Black Zetsu altered the stone tablet.
The karmic entanglement between Indra and Asura.
The hatred between the Uchiha and Senju.
The battles between the nations of the Shinobi World.
Countless unseen hands pushed him into the abyss.
Ban gently exhaled his last breath.
" Hashirama..."
"This time... I think I've really lost..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Madara Uchiha's hand fell limply to his side.
This once dominant Uchiha tyrant has finally vanished without a trace.
Uchiha Xin stared silently at his corpse, remaining silent for a moment.
Madara Uchiha truly deserves to be called a hero and villain.
Without Black Zetsu's constant instigation and the machinations left behind by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Madara could have established a true golden age together with Hashirama Senju.
Unfortunately, he was deceived by a tampered stone tablet.
I was fooled by the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi.
They were gradually led astray by the Black Zetsu attacks.
Madara Uchiha, who once pursued peace, became the mastermind behind the Fourth Shinobi World War.
In the end, his death was not due to defeat as a strong warrior, but rather as a sacrifice for Otsutsuki Kaguya's resurrection.
Uchiha Xin looked down at Madara, his voice very soft.
"What a pity."
" Madara Uchiha, you shouldn't have been just a victim of the Otsutsuki's conspiracy."
Uchiha Xin raised his hand and brought it down.
Two dim Rinnegan were removed from Madara Uchiha's eye sockets.
These eyes once held the ambition of Madara Uchiha's entire life, and also the scheming of Black Zetsu for a thousand years.
Now, Ban is dead.
Black Zetsu is dead too.
All that remains is this purest form of pupil power.
"System."
Uchiha Xin's voice was deep.
"Absorb."
[Ding! Target detectable: Madara Uchiha Rinnegan.]
[The target contains remnants of Indra's reincarnation Chakra, remnants of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's ocular power, and the essence of Six Paths Level reincarnation.]
[Should it be absorbed immediately?]
"Nonsense."
Uchiha Xin coldly said, "Begin."
[Ding! Absorption process initiated.]
The next second, the two Rinnegan turned into a purple stream of light and was forcibly decomposed by the system.
The purest and most refined eye power, like a flood bursting its banks, poured into Uchiha Xin's eyes.
Buzz--!
His Mitsudomoe Tensei Rinnegan trembled violently.
The light in his eyes, which had dimmed due to the forced use of the Return to the Void, shone brightly again at this moment.
The three jet-black Tomoe spun wildly.
The fourth one.
The fifth one.
The sixth one.
The previously briefly degenerated six- Tomoe form instantly returned to normal.
But that's not all.
The residual ocular power Rinnegan Madara Uchiha was immense.
The Power of the Ten-Tails.
The origin of reincarnation.
The ultimate Yin Release of the Uchiha bloodline.
All of it was devoured by the Tensei Rinnegan and transformed into nourishment at a higher level.
The seventh Tomoe slowly emerged.
Then, the eighth and ninth were successively imprinted on the reincarnation pattern.
boom--!!!
A terrifying eye power, far exceeding anything seen before, erupted from Uchiha Xin's body.
Nine jet-black Tomoe slowly rotated around the Tai Chi pupil, their azure radiance intertwined with purple reincarnation patterns, radiating an oppressive aura that surpassed that of ordinary Rinnegan.
[Ding! Absorption complete.]
[Congratulations, host, you have completed the third stage of evolution of the Tensei Rinnegan.]
[Current Form: Nine-Tomoe Tensei Rinnegan.]
[The host's pupil power loss caused by casting Return to the Void has been fully recovered.]
[The host's overall strength has greatly increased.]
Uchiha Xin slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, the entire ruins seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force.
The air was still.
Stone fragments suspended in the air.
Even the lingering Chakra turbulence in the distance subsided automatically under the light of his eyes.
"Nine- Tomoe."
Uchiha Xin felt the surging power in his eyes, his tone finally softened with satisfaction.
"Now that's what eyes that can kill a god of war look like."
However, the next second, the expression on his face suddenly darkened.
He looked up into the distance.
Something's wrong with the earth.
The battlefield, which had been torn apart by the great battle, had now been completely transformed.
Countless thick vines sprouted from the ground, wrapping around mountains, ruins, and rivers as if they were living things.
Looking around, the entire land was covered with giant trees and vines.
The vines stretched all the way to the horizon, so dense and numerous that there was no end in sight.
"The Divine Deep Forest Emergence?"
Uchiha Xin's expression turned completely cold.
This is not ordinary Wood Release.
This is a technique activated by the God Tree after the Infinite Tsukuyomi was initiated, in order to absorb the Chakra of the entire Shinobi World.
The problem is, there's no movement on the moon.
He had already laid a contingency plan in the Moon Palace to prevent anyone from using the Eye of the Moon Plan to launch Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Those arrangements were not triggered.
The moon did not serve as a medium.
In other words, this Infinite Tsukuyomi was not activated by the moon at all.
Instead, someone used their own power to forcefully activate this technique.
A name instantly flashed into Uchiha Xin's mind.
The Sage of Six Paths.
"Old man."
Uchiha Xin's voice was chillingly cold.
"You really dared to make a move while I was trapped in the Root Dimension."
He did not look at Madara Uchiha's corpse again.
Swish!
The Divine Transference is activated.
Uchiha Xin's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
The next second, he appeared in the sky above the remaining battlefield of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The scene before him made him unable to suppress his killing intent any longer.
The Five Kage were suspended high by vines, their bodies wrapped in white cocoons, their eyes tightly closed, and faint patterns of reincarnation appearing beneath their eyelids.
Tsunade, Mei Terumi Gaara, Ōnoki, and the Raikage are all trapped in the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
In the distance, Kakashi, Sakura, and the ninjas from various villages were all entangled in vines.
Naruto and Sasuke even worse.
The two lay on the ground, their bodies wrapped in thick vines, their faces as pale as corpses.
Naruto's vibrant life force was almost completely depleted.
Sasuke was already severely injured after having his eyes removed, and now his soul energy is extremely weak.
Only Hanabi are still struggling to stay afloat.
She stood on a layer of broken rock, her Byakugan already pushed to its limit, her palms constantly unleashing Gentle Fist Chakra.
" Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The vines that lunged at her were blasted to pieces.
There are just too many vines.
As soon as the front shattered, a dozen more drilled out from behind.
Her long hair was soaked with sweat, she was breathing rapidly, and her arms were trembling.
"Hateful..."
Hanabi gritted her teeth, desperately protecting the few Impure World Reincarnation Hokage behind her who weren't completely entangled yet.
"We can't possibly fight all of these!"
Minato Namikaze looked grim.
As a being of Reanimated Body, he wouldn't be completely dragged into the dream world by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but faced with the endless vines of the God Tree, he was forced to retreat continuously.
" Hanabi, watch out on the left!"
A giant vine burst forth from the ground, piercing straight into the back of the Hanabi.
