He was facing Six Paths Six Paths Madara, recreated by the Sage of Six Paths of Six Paths.
Although not the complete original form, it still possesses the Rinnegan, the Six Paths Mark, the Truth-Seeking Orb, and combat power approaching that of a complete Six Paths Level cultivator.
Itachi is clad in the Nine-Tails Chakra, Susanoo has advanced to a higher form.
Totsuka Blade horizontal slash.
The Yata Mirror blocks.
Amaterasu's black flames blanketed the battlefield.
But Six Paths Madara was too strong.
With a repulsive force, the black flames were forcibly repelled.
The Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into a black spear, piercing directly through Susanoo's shoulder.
Itachi grunted, staggered backward, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
The Nine-Tails Chakra immediately healed his injuries, but his face was still somewhat pale.
Six Paths Madara took a step forward, his Rinnegan cold and lifeless.
" Limbo: Border Jail."
Several unseen shadows pressed in from all directions.
Itachi's Mangekyō spun wildly, barely managing to catch a glimpse of its trajectory, while the Yata Mirror moved horizontally to block two of them.
Bang!
The third Limbo: Border Jail shadow slammed into Susanoo's chest.
Itachi was thrown backward by the shock, his feet carving long furrows in the shattered earth.
"Mr. Itachi!"
Konan's expression changed.
Itachi raised his hand to stop her, his voice low and hoarse.
"No need to come over."
He forcefully steadied himself, and the crimson-gold Nine-Tails cloak ignited once more.
But it was clear to everyone that he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.
Even with its immense power, the Nine-Tails Chakra can only compensate for Chakra depletion.
The gap in combat power levels still exists.
Even with its exquisite Mangekyō, Itachi could not directly suppress a fully-fledged Six Paths Level opponent.
Six Paths Madara raised his hand, Truth-Seeking Orb transformed into a black blade.
The next second, he vanished, heading straight for Itachi's throat.
Itachi's pupils contracted, and he blocked with the Totsuka Blade.
But the Six Paths Madara one moves even faster.
The black blade tore through Susanoo's defenses and was about to strike.
In that instant, a streak of blue and white light shot in from afar.
Bang!
The Gentle Fist struck the side of the black blade with precise force.
The blade formed from the Truth-Seeking Orb deflected directly, grazing Itachi's shoulder before crashing into the distant earth.
Hinata stood in front of Itachi, her Tenseigan Chakra Hagoromo fluttering slowly.
She didn't turn around, but spoke softly.
"Mr. Itachi, thank you for your hard work."
Itachi watched her retreating figure and let out a soft breath.
You've arrived just in time.
Six Paths Madara looked up, his Rinnegan locking onto Hinata.
The Truth-Seeking Orb behind him rearranged, and the aura of the Six Paths surged once more.
Hinata simply raised her hand, her azure Tenseigan eerily calm.
Her Tenseigan is no longer at an ordinary level.
With the Ten-Tails Chakra and Uchiha Xin's repeated enhancements, her eye power underwent its ultimate evolution.
Even when facing a fully formed Six Paths Madara, he could fight head-on.
Moreover, the Six Paths Madara before us is merely a flawed puppet created by the Sage of Six Paths's Pure Land Creation.
Hinata took a step forward.
Blue and Chakra formed a ring and spread out.
At the same time, Itachi pressed in from the flank, Amaterasu black flames ignited once more.
Six Paths Madara was about to activate Limbo: Border Jail, Hinata's Gentle Fist print landed in front of him.
Bang!
The first palm strike shattered the Truth-Seeking Orb's defenses.
The second palm strike sealed the Six Paths lines on the chest.
The third palm strike sent Six Paths Madara staggering backward.
Itachi seized the opportunity and swept his Six Paths Madara horizontally, forcing Madara Totsuka Blade to retreat and defend.
One in front of the other.
A direct confrontation.
A flank blockade.
With Hinata joining the battle, Six Paths Madara instantly found himself at a significant disadvantage.
" Old Dog of Six Paths, is this all the junk you have left as your trump cards?"
Uchiha Xin hovered in mid-air, his Nine-Tomoe Tensei Rinnegan coldly watching Hagoromo Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo.
The purple-gold flames in Extreme Path Mode distorted the surrounding void.
"If that's all you're capable of, then you might as well die."
Show me your cards, don't make it too boring for me to kill you!
Uchiha Xin's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly resonated throughout the entire Root Dimension, carrying an undeniable command and pressure.
The Sage of Six Paths, in his Hagoromo, gripped his staff tightly, his aged face so somber it seemed almost dripping with water.
He thought the Six Paths Legion would be able to sweep everything aside, but to his surprise, they were beaten to a pulp by Uchiha Xin Jinchūriki and several top-tier fighters.
Hagoromo's face was extremely ugly; he knew that conventional methods offered no chance of victory.
Suddenly, his eyes turned resolute and crazed.
Immediately afterwards, the aura emanating from him underwent a dramatic change.
The Six Paths Chakra, which was originally compassionate and aloof, instantly became extremely violent and greedy.
Uchiha Xin frowned, his Nine-Tomoe Tensei Rinnegan a sense of unease rose within him. This old bastard was about to resort to desperate measures.
Before Uchiha Xin could investigate further, the entire Root Dimension suddenly began to tremble violently!
Rumble--!
The earth cracked violently, and the clouds in the sky were torn to shreds.
An irresistible and terrifying suction force erupted from Hagoromo's body, drawing in the primordial life energy throughout the entire Root Dimension.
It was as if it were being frantically pumped out by a water pump, turning into a visible white torrent that poured into Hagoromo's body.
Click! Click!
Huge black cracks began to appear in the spatial barrier.
Uchiha Xin instantly understood his intentions.
This primordial life force is the foundation that sustains the existence of the Root Dimension. Once it is completely extracted, this space will collapse and turn into nothingness!
In just a few seconds, Hagoromo devoured all the life energy in the space, and her entire body was stretched into a dazzling white ball of light.
" Uchiha Xin, you forced this upon me!"
With a roar, Hagoromo transformed into an incredibly fast white light, but did not attack Uchiha Xin.
It burrowed directly into the colossal Chibaku Tensei formed by Uchiha Xin, completely avoiding Uchiha Xin!
Buzz!
The extremely complex patterns that were originally densely covered on the surface of the Chibaku Tensei changed color after coming into contact with this massive spatial primordial energy.
It started flickering violently, and then broke apart inch by inch.
Using the power of the same Root Dimension, Hagoromo directly severed and stripped Uchiha Xin of his control over Chibaku Tensei!
boom--!!!
The colossal Chibaku Tensei, even larger than the moon, exploded in mid-air!
Countless boulders, each the size of a mountain, crashed down in all directions, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Amidst the scattering of rubble, a figure slowly emerged.
That figure was none other Otsutsuki Kaguya! Her white hair reached her ankles, and she wore a white robe.
However, when she opened her eyes, those Byakugan and the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan between her eyebrows...
The coldness and madness that Kaguya exuded were gone, replaced by Hagoromo's unique depth and cunning.
This body is filled with the aura of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Hagoromo!
Uchiha Xin instantly understood everything.
Driven to the brink, Hagoromo abandoned his original perfect plan to gently absorb Kaguya and slowly build an immortal body.
He used all the primordial energy before the collapse of the Root Dimension to forcibly break through the seal.
It directly possessed Kaguya's body, suppressing Kaguya original soul with overwhelming force!
"Hahahaha! Uchiha Xin, I should thank you for helping me deplete my mother's power!"
After successfully possessing and escaping, Hagoromo was extremely cunning; he had absolutely no intention of fighting Uchiha Xin to the death.
