Ch. 181That Old Schemer, the Sage of Six Paths
Uchiha Xin stole both of Sasuke’s eyes and froze Naruto in space, then waited in vain for the Sage of Six Paths to intervene. As Madara was consumed by Black Zetsu, Kaguya appeared on the battlefield and sensed an unusual, exceptionally noble bloodline in Uchiha Xin.
- Uchiha Xin used Tensei: Space Freeze to stop Naruto’s attack and lock him, the dust, and the rubble in place.
- Uchiha Xin removed Sasuke’s remaining Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, leaving Sasuke unconscious, then sealed away both eyes.
- Uchiha Xin concluded that the Sage of Six Paths could not directly descend into the living world after his torture of Sasuke drew no response.
- Black Zetsu consumed Six Paths Madara, whose body dissolved as Kaguya emerged in his place.
- Kaguya surveyed the battlefield and fixed her attention on Uchiha Xin, sensing a bloodline that seemed more noble than her own.
