"Summoning Jutsu!"
Madara Uchiha didn't attack Izayoi or fly towards Killer B. Instead, he quickly formed Hand Seals with both hands and pressed them down on the earth.
With a loud bang, a cloud of astonishingly large white smoke billowed out.
Because the location was the peak of a towering mountain, strong winds howled, instantly dispersing the smoke before it could spread.
"Roar..."
A deafening roar scared the retreating ninja, causing their bodies to tremble slightly, as if under the suppression of the food chain, instinctively feeling fear.
Under the moonlight, a monster that looked like a human, with nine closed eyes and a body the color and texture of withered wood, appeared on the Hidden Cloud battlefield.
No one present was unfamiliar with this monster.
This was the treasure that Toneri Otsutsuki had come from the Moon for, the one he was willing to ignite war in the Shinobi World to retrieve... the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
If they weren't sure before, everyone was certain now.
After all, the last person to summon this monster was the leader of the Akatsuki.
And this time, the one who summoned it was Madara Uchiha.
This monster was an entity that could only be summoned by someone possessing the Rinnegan.
As for what abilities this monster had, only the Hidden Cloud Village was still in the dark.
Seeing this monster, the Fourth Raikage's expression changed dramatically.
It wasn't because of the monster's astonishing power, but because standing on its head were two Madara Uchiha.
The Madara Uchiha from earlier was just a Wood Clone.
Madara Uchiha didn't attack Izayoi or fly towards Killer B. Instead, he quickly formed Hand Seals with both hands.
The earth let out a loud bang, and a cloud of astonishingly large white smoke billowed out.
Because the location was the peak of a towering mountain, strong winds howled, instantly dispersing it.
Lifting his hand and placing it on the Wood Clone's shoulder, turning it into a white seed and absorbing it into his body, Madara Uchiha's Chakra instantly surged. He couldn't help but look down at Izayoi below, grinning, "The battle for supremacy is about to begin. Use all your might to stop me."
As Madara Uchiha finished speaking, a Black Hole the size of a fist instantly appeared beside him.
Then, several distorted figures flew out of the Black Hole.
With a whoosh, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path opened its massive maw and spat out several chains, extending upwards. They bound the five Jinchuriki who had flown out of the Black Hole, as well as a giant turtle with three tails that looked like a child compared to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, covered in spikes.
The bound turtle's size visibly shrank at a rapid pace, and its purple Chakra flowed along the chains towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's mouth.
Seeing this scene, Izayoi instantly activated Sage of Six Paths Mode, then created a Truth-Seeking Ball and shot it towards the largest Three-Tails.
However, before it even got close to the Three-Tails, the rapidly flying Truth-Seeking Ball was repelled directly as if it had hit an invisible barrier.
"What's going on?"
"What kind of jutsu is this? Why do I feel this sense of dread?!"
Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto, who had just activated Sage Mode, looked at the repelled Truth-Seeking Ball. Their attention wasn't on the Truth-Seeking Ball itself, which contained the power to annihilate all creation and could kill them instantly with a single touch.
Instead, their gaze was fixed on the sky where the Truth-Seeking Ball was repelled, and they felt goosebumps all over.
Their intuition told them that a great horror was hidden in that location.
Even Izayoi's perception could only see a blurry black shadow.
Only those possessing ultimate Eye Power would see a shadow identical to Madara Uchiha, holding a Sage's Staff in his hand, with nine Truth-Seeking Balls floating around him.
Apart from being unable to use Limbo, the Limbo Shadows could use any ability their Host possessed.
It wasn't surprising that Naruto and Sasuke's attention was focused there.
Izayoi wasn't surprised that the Truth-Seeking Ball was repelled. His sudden attack was just for show.
Izayoi suddenly said, "Everyone, retreat from here. The upcoming battle is not one you can participate in, not even as spectators. Otherwise, if you're killed by the residual shockwaves, don't blame me for not warning you."
The Akatsuki members and Hidden Cloud ninja had already fled, so Izayoi's words were clearly not directed at them.
Thus, the Fourth Raikage and Killer B exchanged glances, transforming into streaks of blue-white and orange-red light, and quickly left the mountain where the new Hidden Cloud Village was located.
Nagato followed closely behind.
Before leaving, he also looked with trembling eyes at the location of the Limbo Shadows.
Sage of Six Paths Mode could only perceive a blurry shadow, while Sage Mode could only perceive danger.
That was why their reactions were so intense.
They couldn't see anything, yet they felt a deadly danger. What kind of ability was this?
Could this be the true power of the Rinnegan?
Without time to think further, Nagato chased after the Fourth Raikage and Killer B who were fleeing the mountain.
Sasuke Uchiha and Uzumaki Naruto also followed closely.
The Reanimation Jutsu army and Puppet Army did the same.
Before long, only Izayoi and Madara Uchiha remained on the Hidden Cloud battlefield.
At this moment, another black hole the size of a fist appeared.
The distorted figure of Yugito Nii, who had been captured by Uchiha Obito's main body, flew out of the black hole. She was then bound by chains, and her dark blue Chakra flowed through the chains into the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
At the same time, the Three-Tails and the other Tailed Beasts within their Jinchuriki were also completely absorbed by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
In an instant, the nine eyes on the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which had been closed, suddenly opened seven bloodshot eyeballs. It was enough to instantly terrify someone with trypophobia.
"Roar..."
Another deafening roar echoed.
Unlike the previous roar, which was like that of a creature at the top of the food chain, capable only of intimidating those at the bottom with its sound, this time the terrifying sound waves directly transformed into a transparent halo that rapidly expanded.
The invisible sound waves shattered the earth and kicked up endless sand and rocks.
As the halo merely swept over their heads, the Cloud Shinobi who had already fled the mountain where the new Hidden Cloud Village was located and were preparing to cross other mountains, as well as the Reanimation Jutsu army and the Puppet Army, were all thrown into disarray. They were either knocked to the ground or lifted into the air, flying about like fallen leaves caught in a strong wind.
The sound waves didn't just spread out in all directions; they also surged upwards and downwards.
The Hidden Cloud Village got its name because its mountains were hidden within the clouds. Although sometimes there were no clouds, most of the time, whether day or night, the sky was filled with mist.
But at this moment, a huge hole was blasted through the mist, revealing the starry sky and a seemingly close full moon.
If one looked closely, they would also notice that the moon, which had been silvery white just a few hours ago, had now turned into a crimson blood-red moon.
The mountain where the new Hidden Cloud Village was located vibrated violently, and large cracks appeared on its surface.
Just a single roar caused a change in the heavens and the earth – this was the power of the Ten-Tails.
With just two more Tailed Beasts, the seedling of the God Tree, a life bound to the Earth that could not be killed by either the Ancestor of Chakra or the Ancestor of Shinobi, but only sealed, would return to its complete form.
Izayoi couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation in his heart.
However, on the surface, he pretended to be solemn.
"Deva Path!"
Madara Uchiha released an invisible Attraction, not directed at Izayoi.
Instead, it pulled the Jinchuriki, who were already on the verge of death after having their Tailed Beasts extracted, to the top of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head.
Then he raised his hand and gently tapped each of them.
The sun mark on his palm released the ultimate Yang Release, pulling all the Jinchuriki, who had already stepped one foot into the Pure Land, back into this world.
Immediately, a black hole appeared, and Uchiha Obito's Wood Clone flew out, absorbing these Jinchuriki into the Kamui Dimension.
Seeing this, Izayoi was slightly surprised and said, "You actually saved them? That's not like you."
"Do you know me well?" Madara Uchiha countered with a scoff. "People's prejudices are like this mountain. You descendants of the Five Great Shinobi Villages simply cannot understand the ideal I and Hashirama had when founding Konoha."
"Your mouth is yours, you can say whatever you want," Izayoi said with a light chuckle. "When saving people, you make up an excuse casually, and when killing people, you do the same. This is clearly a world where the strong are respected, yet you insist on finding a reason."
Hearing this, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but sigh. "You, Hashirama, Nagato, and I are indeed not the same kind of people."
After speaking, the look in Madara Uchiha's eyes when he looked at Izayoi finally revealed the same killing intent he held towards Toneri Otsutsuki. He said in a deep voice, "Someone like you, possessing such formidable power, is truly dangerous."
"Please die with those Otsutsuki!"
Izayoi smiled mockingly. "If you think you can do it, then come and try."
Madara Uchiha wasted no words. He formed a Hand Seal with one hand, and then the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path beneath his feet immediately transformed into a massive cloud of white smoke.
Swish—
Within the surprisingly large cloud of white smoke, a dazzling white light flashed.
Then, with a loud bang, the white light tore through the darkness and engulfed the mountain where the new Hidden Cloud Village was located.
This explosion, different from that of Exploding Tags and Tailed Beast Balls, immediately attracted the attention of the living and the dead who had retreated to other mountains to fight.
Gazing at the white light, which was even more blinding than sunlight, and sensing the energy contained within it, which was seemingly Chakra yet not Chakra, possessing the power to destroy all creation, Deidara murmured in a daze, "Such... such beautiful art!"
Unlike the spectacular meteor shower, the explosion of the Truth-Seeking Ball was filled with a simple beauty.
Moreover, in terms of destructive power, Deidara felt that this white light was even more potent than the meteor shower that had left countless scars on the land.
Because when the white light dissipated, the mountain of the new Hidden Cloud Village was gone.
Furthermore, there was no smoke from the explosion in the air and not a single piece of debris on the ground.
The entire mountain, along with the ruins on it, seemed to have vanished into thin air.
In such a short time, it could erase a mountain from this world. Deidara, who had simulated self-detonation scenes many times in his mind, could only admit his inferiority.
"Such... such terrifying white light!"
"What kind of Ninjutsu is that? Who used it?"
"We can't sense the Chakra of the Sixth Hokage or Madara Uchiha. We don't know how the battle is going over there."
"..."
Everyone else was also shocked by this scene, including Killer B, who was teaming up with the Fourth Raikage and Naruto and Sasuke to fight Nagato, who was wearing the Tobi Armor.
At this moment, with the assistance of the Fourth Raikage and Naruto and Sasuke, Killer B could confidently enter full Tailed Beast transformation.
Leveraging his massive size, he could see the scene over there clearly.
"Stupid~~Idiot~~Such terrifying white light, even from so far away, I can feel the breath of death. I can't imagine what kind of power that is, it's even more terrifying than my Tailed Beast Ball~~" Killer B used a rap style to cover up the fear in his heart.
Meanwhile, Gyūki the Eight Tails said in a rather anticlimactic manner, "That thing is a Truth-Seeking Ball, it's the power of the Sage of Six Paths!"
Killer B's expression instantly froze, and his reaction was fully manifested in his complete Tailed Beast form.
Seeing this, Nagato's eyes flashed, and then he quickly formed Hand Seals with both hands, shouting, "Sage Art... Wood Release: Hotei Technique!"
The ground trembled violently, and then a giant wooden hand rose from the earth, trying to seize the opportunity to grab the Eight Tails by the foot and quickly drain its Chakra.
Fortunately, the Eight Tails' reaction speed was very nimble. Its massive body actually hopped in place, dodging the giant wooden hand's grasp.
Unexpectedly, the giant wooden hand could continue to extend, and it caught a swaying tail in its grasp.
Killer B and the Eight Tails didn't hesitate at all and immediately used their signature move... tail shedding.
The tail grabbed by the giant wooden hand detached directly from the body and kept twitching in the palm of the giant hand.
"Sage Art... Storm Release: White Dragon!"
Sasuke Uchiha also took this opportunity to attack Nagato. A massive and dazzling white dragon roared forth.
Nagato didn't meet the attack but dodged, then continued to pursue the Eight Tails.
"Bee, run further away." The Fourth Raikage glanced at the chaotic battlefield and shouted loudly.
So, the Eight Tails, after landing, immediately ran towards other mountain peaks.
Nagato chased closely.
The Fourth Raikage and Naruto/Sasuke did the same.
"Hehehe... Leader, they are truly a bunch of fools." Tobi's low chuckle sounded in Nagato's ear.
Nagato smiled without speaking.
Nobody noticed that the tail, which looked like octopus tentacles in the palm of the giant wooden hand standing on the ground like a small mountain, had already disappeared.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Explosions louder than thunder kept coming, getting closer.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see streaks of white light blooming in the distant mountains.
Those white lights were exactly the same as the white light that erased the new Hidden Cloud Village.
This indicated that both Izayoi and Madara Uchiha were fine, and they had tacitly agreed to move the battlefield to a more distant location.
It was just that the method of relocation was a bit too violent.
After six consecutive explosions, the white light capable of erasing everything finally stopped appearing.
Since both were in Sage of Six Paths Mode, no one could sense their Chakra.
Now, the distance had long exceeded the visible range, and no one knew the current state of the battle on Izayoi and Madara Uchiha's side.
Madara Uchiha, who still had two Truth-Seeking Balls left, finally stopped flying. His gaze wasn't directed at Izayoi, who was also floating not far away, but upwards at the blood moon in the sky, his brows tightly furrowed.
"Are you afraid of that guy interfering?" Izayoi asked with a smile.
Looking at Izayoi, who looked calm and composed, Madara Uchiha suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity.
However, on the surface, he sneered, "Whether it's you or that guy, you both look so confident. Do you think you can take me on just because each of you controls half of the Nine Tails?"
Hearing this, Izayoi was slightly surprised and said, "You know that?"
"Hmph, who do you think was the first person to summon the Nine Tails?" Madara Uchiha snorted coldly. "As the Nine Tails' true master, how strong its Chakra is, how could I not know?"
"During the last fight with that Toneri Otsutsuki guy, if he hadn't had the other half of the Nine Tails' Chakra, he wouldn't have been my opponent at all."
"You all think so highly of yourselves, then pay the price for your arrogance."
Madara Uchiha formed Hand Seals again with both hands and shouted, "Summoning Jutsu!"
"Roar..."
A familiar roar scattered the spreading white smoke.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path reappeared, letting out a massive roar towards the sky.
After the sound waves and shockwaves dissipated, a Black Hole appeared above its mouth.
An octopus arm and two bodies covered in cracks fell into the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
The two remaining closed eyes also opened in that instant.
Its body shape also underwent a huge change, becoming more human-like.
The tail that stood like a pillar changed from stiff to flexible, swaying constantly on the ground and roaring repeatedly.
The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had already returned to the Ten-Tails' first form.
Madara Uchiha stood with a Hand Seal formed with both hands, looking at the 'greatly surprised' Izayoi opposite him, and grinned hideously, "Although it's not complete, it's enough to deal with you two guys... Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal!"
As if being sucked into the Kamui Dimension by a Black Hole, the Ten-Tails' body suddenly twisted and liquefied, surging like waves into Madara Uchiha's body, wrapping him into a giant ball of flesh.
Immediately, the ball of flesh changed from the color of withered wood to pure white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Izayoi, who had initially looked surprised, couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.
The greatest treasure had finally appeared!
With a crack, the fleshy ball shattered into pieces, which then turned into iridescent feathers drifting down.
Madara Uchiha, holding the Sage's Staff, reappeared in the air.
However, his appearance had undergone a drastic transformation.
First, his skin color had changed from a human hue to a white resembling Exploding Clay.
His long black hair had also turned white.
His timeless red armor and battle suit had been replaced by a white robe.
The seven Truth-Seeking Balls that were lost in the explosion had somehow returned to surround him.
The vast, ocean-like Chakra within him seemed infinite.
His astonishing Eye Power was even greater than before.
Following the Sage of Six Paths, the second Ten-Tails Jinchuriki had finally reappeared after a thousand years!
This was the true... Six Paths Madara!
