His pitch-black long hair turned pale under the soaking of Chakra. Broken scales scattered in the air.
The nine neatly arranged tomoes beneath the spiral pattern on his back were clearly visible. Pale Chakra occasionally floated above his flowing haori, spilling into the air.
The Otsutsuki bloodline within Madara's blood vessels atavized under the boost of the Ten-Tails' Chakra, completely ascending to a higher level of life, reaching the realm of the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of Ninshu.
"So this is the power of the Six Paths?" Madara, holding a half-moon khakkhara and with six Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him, slowly exhaled the murky breath from his lungs.
In the distance, seeing Madara complete his transformation, Minato raised his hand to rest on Naruto's shoulder, took out a sword called the Sword of Love from his pocket and tossed it to him.
"Naruto, it seems your comrade needs you! Go help her quickly!"
"Alright, I'll leave things here to you, Dad!"
Naruto, with a pale sun imprinted in the center of his palm, caught the Flying Thunder God kunai and disappeared amidst the sound of shattering space-time.
Likewise, on a hill outside the battlefield, Itachi walked behind Sasuke and pushed his back.
"I'll keep an eye on Orochimaru for you. Go. It's time to repay the debt of gratitude she has shown the Uchiha."
"Hmph, stop meddling. I am the head of the Uchiha Clan!" Sasuke, suppressing the hilt of his sword, Tsundere-ly snorted.
Then, he raised the hand marked with a black crescent moon, forming hand seals to activate his Ocular Power, Amenotejikara, and disappeared.
Before Madara, Sakura was just about to hit him again when the ripples from the void made her stop.
Naruto, carrying a Flying Thunder God kunai in his mouth, holding two black rods, his body burning with golden Chakra flames and Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him, descended.
And Sasuke, dragging his cherry-pink dragon tail, his hand gripping a long sword wrapped in lightning, his heterochromatic eyes narrowed, descended beside her at the same time.
The two formed the basic formation taught at the Ninja Academy with Sakura, jointly facing Madara, who had achieved the Six Paths Mode.
The Allied Forces also gradually broke through the blockade of the remaining White Zetsu army and Ten-Tails' split bodies, slowly surrounding them.
At this moment, the entire Ninja World stood against Madara.
"What a pity. To protect some things, other things must be sacrificed!"
Madara's gaze swept with pity over the hostile faces before him. "It is human nature to crave war. The contradictory nation left behind by Hashirama, I will end today!"
Having obtained the power of the Six Paths, he could already be regarded as the strongest being in the current world. The surging pride in his heart followed the sharp increase in his strength.
"Indeed, if you wipe us out here, this Ninja World will indeed head toward its end." Sakura sneered, shaking her head.
Against the backdrop of the Chimera Virus spreading unchecked throughout the world, the Ninjas gathered here were the last fighting force of the Ninja World.
If they were completely wiped out here, leading to the fall of Konoha, then the remaining small nations would naturally be unable to survive the erosion of the viral mutants.
If that situation were reached, the destruction of the Ninja World would only be a matter of time.
"Let's fight. Don't waste words on this guy!" Naruto threw the black rod in his hand, staking it into the ground directly beneath Madara.
The power of his Logia ability spread through the Yin-Yang Release created iron rod, eroding the surrounding natural environment, transforming it into a phosphorus ore environment.
Then, countless tentacles composed of white phosphorus, burning, extended upward, stabbing fiercely at Madara with their poison and high heat.
"A strange technique. But if this is all you have, then today you will be buried in the dust of history along with the entire Ninja World!" Madara formed hand seals, reached out, and shook the wide sleeves of his haori, "Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch!"
Solidified, branch-like black lightning extended from his sleeves, destroying Naruto's Logia ability with extreme speed and wide range, while also covering the entire Allied Force.
"Oh, a fusion of Senjutsu and the Six Paths power?" Sakura showed an interested expression.
Stepping onto the earth, which had been made soft by Naruto's ability, she then used the rebounding elasticity to shoot into the sky, swinging her iron fists fiercely at the lightning jungle stretching for hundreds of meters.
"Sakura Blossom Impact: Hundred Flowers Riot!"
Her fists, wrapped in two Haki, swung continuously. A furious tide erupted. A blast of air shot into the sky.
Boom!!!
Amidst the remnants of the collision between fist shadows and lightning, fragments sprayed like bullets. Seeing this, the advancing allied forces quickly pulled out Earth Release Ninjas, trying to build protective walls to defend.
However, upon contact with the techniques, a massive explosion rose, instantly causing large-scale casualties to the allied forces.
"All of you, stop! Everyone, get away from this battlefield!!!" As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade shouted, giving the order to retreat.
Though the Allied Forces' Ninjas, who had suffered heavy casualties, were unwilling, they also understood that the battle before them was not one they could participate in. So they gathered their wounded and withdrew according to Tsunade's order.
"Since you've already joined the ranks of those opposing me, don't think you can leave so easily!" Madara laughed, continuing to form hand seals and gathering Chakra in his mouth.
"Don't even think about it!" Sasuke's Rinnegan trembled. His Ocular Power, Amenotejikara, activated, manipulating space within his field of vision.
Madara only felt his vision blur. Then, Sakura's beautiful, smiling face appeared before him.
"Sage Art: Sakura Blossom Impact: Crimson Lotus!"
The Natural Energy converted by the fourth stage of the Senjutsu Evolution technique continuously erupted from her fists. The internal destruction Haki directly shattered the Chakra of Madara's meticulously combined Senjutsu.
Madara's Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang couldn't be released in time and instead exploded inside his own body.
Several thin lasers pierced through Madara's body, instantly riddling him with wounds.
"Yin Release secret techniques, Yang Release secret techniques, Senjutsu..." Madara's gaze swept over the tacitly coordinated three members of the Team 7, his brow gradually furrowing. "I see. So you also possess the power of the Six Paths within you!"
"This guy! Such sharp combat instincts!" Sasuke gripped the hilt of his sword, secretly alarmed.
"But how can you, with your incomplete Six Paths power, contend with me, who possesses the complete Six Paths power!" Madara laughed wildly. Blood spilled from his body, then quickly repaired.
His Ninjutsu were sublimated into Sage Arts, and Yin Release and Yang Release were developed to their extremes.
At this moment, he had effectively mastered all the Ninjutsu in the world. Whenever he wanted, he could create new Ninjutsu or replicate the Ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai of those who came before.
He then raised his finger, pointing it at Sakura.
Without preparation, without casting time, and without any charge-up, infinite light and heat gushed forth from his fingertip. Yet it did not spread, only thrusting forward unstoppably.
"Sage Art: Scorch Release Extinction!!!"
The heat ray, generated by the Scorch Release Ninjutsu created by combining Wind Release and Fire Release Chakras, stabbed toward Sakura with the brilliance of burning everything.
"Heh, it seems you're underestimating me!" The girl tilted her head, dark thunder surging in her emerald eyes. "Then, let me show you something a little interesting."
Then, the entire battlefield's high temperature was instantly plundered. Amidst the fleeting fierce light, a cold wave descended, turning the entire earth into a pure white snowy country.
