The Tenseigan?
Uchiha Madara softly murmured those three words, then suddenly burst into laughter, his voice brimming with exhilaration.
"Yuto! Every time I see you, you give me a different kind of surprise!"
"This is what makes it fun — this is the kind of fight that gets your blood pumping!"
"A clash between the Tenseigan and the Rinnegan!"
Almost at the same instant!
Yuto and Uchiha Madara — both men's eyes gleamed as they vanished from their positions simultaneously, colliding midair.
Two vastly different yet equally terrifying chakra auras intertwined in the sky, forming a staggering chakra energy field that made the surrounding air thick and viscous.
Uchiha Madara threw a punch, and wherever his fist passed, the air ahead was pierced and compressed, forming a large-scale air cannon that shot straight toward Yuto's forehead.
Yuto's eyes narrowed slightly. Almost as soon as Uchiha Madara made his move, his entire upper body bent backward at an eerie, unnatural angle.
In the process, Yuto snapped his left leg up like an arrow leaving a bow, kicking squarely into Uchiha Madara's chest.
Explosive force erupted at the point of impact, making Uchiha Madara's body tilt slightly, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as his other hand shot out, trying to grab Yuto's leg.
Yuto swiftly pulled back, but was still a beat too slow — Uchiha Madara caught his foot with one hand!
"Hah!"
Uchiha Madara let out a low shout, channeling strength through his single arm as he swung Yuto overhead and slammed him toward the ground below.
But in that moment, Yuto twisted his upper body as if he had predicted it all along, using the powerful rotational force to break free from Uchiha Madara's grip.
At the same time, Yuto wrapped both legs around Uchiha Madara's waist and, like a backward somersault, violently hurled him away!
Suspended in midair, Uchiha Madara showed not a trace of panic. Instead, just as Yuto had done moments before, he spun his body rapidly, completely dispersing the terrifying force.
Then, Uchiha Madara's other leg lashed out like lightning, his toes aimed downward straight at Yuto's throat — fast as a bolt of lightning!
"Good!"
Yuto's eyes lit up. He shouted and crossed both arms in front of himself.
In just a few blinks, the two had already exchanged dozens of blows. Pure taijutsu and lethal combat technique were on perfect display!
In terms of taijutsu skill alone, both men had reached the absolute pinnacle of the shinobi world!
Unfortunately, this extraordinary taijutsu duel was invisible to the ninja hidden in various positions around the battlefield.
More accurately, the two moved so fast that those watching could barely perceive them — all they could see were two dark blurs constantly intersecting!
Blistering speed combined with overwhelming power meant every collision produced a deep, thunderous boom in the sky!
Throughout Yuto and Uchiha Madara's exchange, their Truth-Seeking Orbs also clashed continuously behind them — both men were fighting on two fronts!
As the battle progressed, Uchiha Madara grew increasingly alarmed. Yuto seemed able to anticipate his every move — each time he attacked, his opponent would respond with a precise counter, even adjusting his positioning.
This put Uchiha Madara at a strange disadvantage in the taijutsu exchange!
The feeling was like someone with a Sharingan fighting an ordinary taijutsu specialist — able to predict the opponent's moves before they happened.
Yet he possessed the Rinnegan, an eye several tiers above the Sharingan, and was still being outperformed in this regard!
So this is one of the Tenseigan's abilities?
The thought flashed through Uchiha Madara's mind. The two clashed again, then quickly separated to a distance.
"Looks like the warm-up is over."
Yuto flexed his slightly sore wrist and smiled at Uchiha Madara across from him.
He had won this round of pure taijutsu!
That ability to predict an opponent's movements wasn't from the Tenseigan — it came from devouring Satori.
"Indeed, a fine warm-up." Uchiha Madara cracked his neck, and the Rinnegan in his eyes flickered with a faint purple glow.
Limbo — Border Jail!
Four shadows split away simultaneously and charged toward Yuto at once.
Uchiha Madara followed close behind. The four shadows weren't meant for direct attack — they were meant to disrupt Yuto's terrifying precognition!
Golden chakra surged across Yuto's entire body. With a sweep of his hand, four Truth-Seeking Orbs were coated in gold, then transformed into four golden swords that shot toward the four shadows.
In the meantime, Uchiha Madara had already appeared before Yuto, terrifying purple lightning erupting from his hand!
Sage Art — Yin Release Lightning Dispatch!
The lightning branched out like the limbs of a tree, attacking from completely unpredictable angles with eerie speed, hurtling toward Yuto!
This Six Paths Sage Art couldn't be dodged with Truth-Seeking Orbs!
Yuto's golden Tenseigan flashed. He raised his palm and aimed it forward:
"Space Channel!"
An invisible spatial ripple spread rapidly in front of Yuto, forming a special spatial passage.
All the terrifying purple lightning was drawn into the spatial channel.
Just as Uchiha Madara thought his lightning had been completely swallowed by Yuto's spatial ability, a sharp sense of danger surged from behind!
The purple lightning that had vanished reappeared right behind Uchiha Madara, all of it redirecting toward him!
Yuto had used the Tenseigan's spatial manipulation to create a passage between the space in front of himself and the space behind Uchiha Madara!
He had redirected all of Uchiha Madara's attacks back at him!
In the original timeline, Toneri Ōtsutsuki had used this same spatial ability to create a passage between the Moon and the Earth.
A second ability — spatial manipulation?
A sharp gleam flashed in Uchiha Madara's eyes as he let out a low shout:
"Shinra Tensei!!"
An immense repulsive force radiated outward from Uchiha Madara, blasting everything in every direction — a posture of absolute defense.
This was the moment!
"Truth-Seeking Orb Light Cannon!"
Yuto roared. Golden chakra churned and gathered in his palms, then he unleashed a massive barrage of Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Waves of golden light filled the sky, completely surrounding and engulfing Uchiha Madara!
At this moment, the power of Shinra Tensei had just ended — there was no time to unleash it again.
"Perfect Susanoo!!"
Uchiha Madara's eyes widened as he bellowed. A colossal blue chakra figure the size of a mountain peak, appearing in the form of a war god, materialized instantly in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the Perfect Susanoo was riddled with massive craters of varying sizes from the relentless barrage of Truth-Seeking Orb Light Cannons.
But even as the Perfect Susanoo was damaged, Uchiha Madara repaired it at an incredible speed!
"So this is the Tenseigan's power? Truly formidable!"
"Not bad at all, Yuto — this keeps getting more interesting!"
Uchiha Madara laughed as Six Paths Senjutsu chakra enveloped the Perfect Susanoo.
"Clang!"
Uchiha Madara manipulated the Perfect Susanoo to draw two enormous blades over a hundred meters long.
Yuto laughed as well and shot skyward: "Madara, one careless move and you could die!"
"The one who should be worried is you!!"
Uchiha Madara roared, swinging the two massive swords coated in Six Paths Senjutsu chakra.
Each chakra-infused blade radiated an aura of utter annihilation and immense pressure, slashing down toward Yuto at blinding speed!
Despite the colossal size of the Susanoo, its speed was anything but slow — it was utterly terrifying!
Clearly, empowered by Six Paths power, Uchiha Madara's Susanoo had grown several times stronger!
