After the Ryūjin Jakka's "Ennetsu Jigoku" pillars erupted, the surrounding area, hundreds of meters in radius, was transformed into a sea of magma, a landscape resembling a volcanic hellscape.
The intense light and smoke of the explosion gradually dissipated, revealing the damaged Six Paths — Chakra Rod. The prison was scarred with numerous irregular, rust-like red fissures, yet it had withstood Yusuke Uchiha's "Ennetsu Jigoku" attack.
A circular opening appeared at the top, revealing Madara Uchiha.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Madara Uchiha erupted in laughter, then looked at Yusuke Uchiha. "Ennetsu Jigoku, a remarkable technique! But that must be your strongest attack, right?"
Believing he had withstood Yusuke Uchiha's strongest attack, Madara Uchiha felt victory was his. As long as Yusuke Uchiha couldn't break his Truth-Seeking Ball defense, he was invincible.
Truth-Seeking Balls were highly effective against fire. Their melting point is incredibly high—no one knows the exact temperature—making it nearly impossible to melt them with heat alone.
Yet, Yusuke Uchiha's expression remained calm. He controlled the Ryūen Susanoo, slowly raising Ryūjin Jakka.
"Bankai: Zanka no Tachi!"
The flames on Zanka no Tachi suddenly receded into the blade. Simultaneously, the flames enshrouding the Ryūen Susanoo and the crimson-gold fiery wheel behind it flowed into the blade, like liquid being sucked up by a straw.
Zanka no Tachi returned to its original form, but the blade was now charred black.
Seeing Yusuke Uchiha's flames disappear, Madara Uchiha frowned, his expression serious.
As a veteran of countless battles, he didn't believe his opponent had given up. The temperature hadn't decreased; it had increased, making even his Six Paths body uncomfortable. He sensed a devastating attack was imminent.
Feeling the killing intent, Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, focusing intently on Yusuke Uchiha.
The Ryūen Susanoo moved, unleashing a simple horizontal slash. The Six Paths — Chakra Rod was bisected, along with the Ten-Tails within!
Madara Uchiha, connected to the Ten-Tails, was severely injured, spitting out blood.
"It wasn't the slash; he concentrated all his power into the blade!" Madara Uchiha instantly perceived the nature of the attack.
Yusuke Uchiha nodded. "Correct. This attack negates all power. You deserve this, being the strongest in the ninja world."
"But unfortunately, I'm transcending the ninja world!"
As Madara Uchiha was shocked, Zetsu, hidden nearby, was terrified.
"Transcending the ninja world? What kind of power is that? Should I revive Mother?" Zetsu questioned himself.
He could attack Madara Uchiha anytime to revive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, but he feared a resurrected Kaguya Ōtsutsuki wouldn't be a match for Yusuke Uchiha.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, in her original state, was considered immortal, at most sealable.
But seeing the power that easily destroyed the Truth-Seeking Balls and the Ten-Tails, Zetsu hesitated.
Madara Uchiha, despite his shock, wasn't despairing. As long as he wasn't hit directly, he still had a chance.
"Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal!"
Bringing his hands together, Madara Uchiha absorbed the Ten-Tails, including its severed lower half, into his body. Yusuke Uchiha's attack was too powerful; maintaining the Ten-Tails' size was tactically unwise.
Seeing Madara Uchiha relinquish his Ten-Tails jinchuriki state, Yusuke Uchiha summoned Zanka no Tachi back into his hand and leaped down from the Susanoo.
"Fūjin!"
With a flash of his blade, Yusuke Uchiha instantly appeared behind Madara Uchiha. Silently, Madara Uchiha's right arm was severed at the shoulder, his Six Paths Staff also cleaved in two.
"Limbo: Border Jail!"
Four completely invisible clones emerged from Madara Uchiha's body, their movements generating no energy fluctuations and rendering them imperceptible to the eye.
The four clones immediately launched attacks from different directions towards Yusuke Uchiha.
However, with four swift flashes of his blade, Yusuke Uchiha effortlessly dispatched all of Madara Uchiha's Limbo clones.
"Only the Rinnegan can see them. How did you find them?" Madara Uchiha asked, his face etched with disbelief.
A powerful wave of spiritual pressure emanated from Yusuke Uchiha, enveloping Madara Uchiha. Yusuke Uchiha calmly stated, "Nothing can hide within my spiritual pressure, including the 'shadows' you just released."
Madara Uchiha felt utterly outmaneuvered, desperate for a solution to overcome his seemingly insurmountable adversary.
As Yusuke Uchiha approached, his katana held aloft, Madara Uchiha, to his own astonishment, began to retreat step by step.
This was unprecedented in Madara Uchiha's extensive combat career. Even when facing Hashirama Senju, a superior opponent, Madara Uchiha had fought tooth and nail until his very last breath.
"No! I, Madara Uchiha, will not be defeated! By anyone!"
Madara Uchiha roared in a fit of furious desperation, his hands rapidly forming intricate hand seals, a cruel smile twisting his lips.
"If that's the case, then I shall abandon the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan! You have left me with no other choice!"
As Madara Uchiha spoke, he continued to form hand seals, seemingly preparing to unleash some devastating technique.
Upon perceiving Madara Uchiha's intentions, Yusuke Uchiha, without hesitation, instantly utilized the Shunshin no Jutsu to appear before Madara Uchiha, his Zanka no Tachi slashing across Madara Uchiha's hands as they were engaged in the formation of hand seals.
To Yusuke Uchiha's utter astonishment, however, his Zanka no Tachi failed to make contact with its intended target, instead passing through Madara Uchiha's body as if it were merely an illusion.
"It's useless," Madara Uchiha declared with a resounding laugh, his right Rinnegan slowly closing. "No one can kill me now!"
Yusuke Uchiha's brow furrowed in concern. "You've used Izanagi, and it seems to be far from ordinary."
Madara Uchiha's remaining open eye blazed with intense killing intent. "Indeed, this is the perfected Izanagi. It negates all negative factors for a period of time! Even you can only watch helplessly as I complete this final technique!"
With the completion of his hand seals, Madara Uchiha let out a thunderous roar, and the blood-red Rinnegan on his forehead erupted with a surge of potent chakra that shot skyward, reflecting brilliantly off the blood-red moon in the sky, which bore the same Rinnegan pattern.
"Planetary Devastation!"
