Chapter 145 - The Frog in the Well, the Sage of Six Paths is the Well

"I couldn't ask for more."

Senju Nawaki floated up slightly into the air, signaling Madara Uchiha to continue.

The strength he just displayed allows Madara Uchiha to use his full power without reservation, instead of fighting like a cat playing with a mouse, as he does with other ninjas in the ninja world.

Senju Nawaki has proven with facts that he is not a mouse, but a tiger.

"Banshō Ten'in!"

Madara Uchiha's voice was hoarse, and his eyes stared directly at Nawaki Senju.

Shed your previous arrogance and be cautious in facing the enemy before you.

He wanted to ascertain one thing: whether Senju Nawaki possessed the power of gravity and repulsion, and whether his eyes had any special abilities.

Using the power of the Rinnegan to analyze Senju Nawaki, I always felt that his eyes were full of mystery, but I couldn't find any detailed information.

The opponent was floating in mid-air, and it was unclear what kind of ability they were using.

What we are facing is just a small test.

call...

Like a gentle breeze, Madara Uchiha's eyes showed surprise.

Even though his attack landed on Senju Nawaki, nothing happened; the power of Banshō Ten'in was rendered ineffective.

The figure of the Senju Nawaki remained still in place, unaffected by the Banshō Ten'in.

"How is that possible?"

Madara Uchiha was puzzled. Even if his opponent could nullify his attacks, why was there no trace of him using any power?

He kept using his Rinnegan to keep a close eye on Senju Nawaki. No matter how much power flowed or how much movement occurred, it could not escape his observation.

In his eyes, it was as if Senju Nawaki was in another dimension, and his abilities had no effect on Senju Nawaki at all.

Senju Nawaki shook his head slightly. If that was all, then Madara Uchiha's development of the Rinnegan was not as advanced as imagined; he was merely using its abilities in a simple way.

They only know how to use it, without understanding the underlying principles.

Senju Nawaki speculates on the source of the Rinnegan's power.

Those are abilities developed by the Sage of Six Paths, used to interfere with planetary trajectories, fly through space, defend against attacks from Hamura Ōtsutsuki's moon, and defend against the real Ōtsutsuki clan. These are all techniques of the Sage of Six Paths.

Madara Uchiha did not innovate.

This disappointed Senju Nawaki.

"Chibaku Tensei!"

Madara Uchiha was still not satisfied and continued to test the waters.

He once used this technique and almost sealed Hashirama Senju. Perhaps there was also a reason that he was soft-hearted, which allowed Hashirama Senju to find an opening and escape.

In ancient times, there was a myth that the Sage of Six Paths used this very technique to seal away Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

This is also how he gleaned some scattered information from ancient times.

That period of history seems to have been deliberately erased by some people. He originally didn't have time to investigate, but now his life level has changed and his lifespan has been extended.

My mind became incredibly clear, and I felt like I was caught in a trap that I should investigate.

Their gaze shifted to the Senju Nawaki floating in mid-air.

Rumble...

As Madara Uchiha's deep voice rang out, the earth began to tremble.

Pieces of stone drifted from the ground to the top of the Senju Nawaki, coalescing into a black sphere that continuously attracted everything around it.

Matter and energy converge towards the center of the sphere.

Giant trees growing on the ground were uprooted and their roots were incorporated into a stone sphere formed in the center of the sky.

The figure of the Senju Nawaki finally floated up, as if it were about to fly upwards.

It seemed as if it would also merge into the black sphere created by Madara Uchiha.

"Just kidding!"

Senju Nawaki's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly spoke.

His body stopped in mid-air.

With a gentle wave of his hand, everything around him was suppressed and brought to a standstill.

The rubble, giant trees, and all the debris that had been flying upwards fell back to the ground.

There was only a black sphere with a radius of several kilometers, floating in mid-air.

The ability of Chibaku Tensei was interrupted and became useless.

While Senju Nawaki appeared to be affected by Chibaku Tensei, he was actually just sending a signal to Madara Uchiha, indicating that this was too boring for him.

"asshole!"

Madara Uchiha's face turned gloomy, no longer the cold and aloof person he had been before.

Has anyone in this world ever dared to tease me like this?

First, he impersonated his father and acted recklessly within the Uchiha clan, disrupting his plans. Now, he is using such despicable means to provoke him.

My emotions, which I hadn't felt in a long time, began to stir.

"Limbo: Hengoku!"

He whispered again.

Opposite the Senju Nawaki, Madara Uchiha's figure swept through space, leaving behind afterimages.

"You rely too much on the Rinnegan. These abilities are not ones you developed yourself, but rather ones you inherited from the Sage of Six Paths, from those eyes."

No matter what, she could not escape the bonds of being a member of the Uchiha clan.

A torrent of green numbers flashed continuously in Senju Nawaki's eyes.

Analyze the capabilities at hand.

Space, clones, and displacement—these are all advancements in the Sage of Six Paths' ninjutsu, representing the pinnacle of his skills and power.

It has nothing to do with Madara Uchiha himself.

Madara Uchiha may seem to have defected from the Uchiha clan, but what are his true thoughts?

I am a member of the Uchiha clan, and only where I am can the true line of the Uchiha be established.

He never abandoned his identity, but was proud to be a member of the Uchiha clan. He cherished his Sharingan and Rinnegan even more.

So I never thought about other ways of fighting.

Like a frog in a well, it may have the ability to jump out of the well, but it never thinks about jumping out.

The Sage of Six Paths is the well that bound Madara Uchiha.

When Madara Uchiha was young, he was constantly tamed, until now he has the ability to break free, but no longer has the will to do so.

They needed an excuse, an external force, to propel Madara Uchiha's growth.

What the Sage of Six Paths wanted from beginning to end was for Ashura to defeat Indra, so he constantly suppressed Indra in every way.

Madara Uchiha, the reincarnation of Indra, now considers the Sharingan and Rinnegan as his advantages, unaware that the true owner behind them is the Sage of Six Paths.

It was the leash that the Sage of Six Paths put on him that led to the tragedy to come.

What deserves praise from Senju Nawaki is that Madara Uchiha honed his combat instincts and ninja fundamentals—skills universally applicable across the land—to an almost supernatural level.

The battles that took place during the Fourth Shinobi World War also provide clues to this.

Simple and direct ninjutsu and taijutsu can catch the Allied Shinobi Forces off guard when facing their flashy attacks.

Use the simplest and least strenuous method to put your opponent into your rhythm.

The question, "Would you like to dance too?"

It left a deep impression on the entire battlefield.

Madara Uchiha's foundation was probably more solid than anyone else's in the ninja world.

It also has the value of being cultivated by the Senju Nawaki.

Swish...

Madara Uchiha's body suddenly appeared beside Nawaki Senju, and he struck Nawaki Senju's forehead with his palm.

There is a moon mark on the palm of the hand.

The moon's mark flickered incessantly, connecting with the previously stagnant Chibaku Tensei in the sky, thus restoring its sealing power.
