At that moment!
Naruto and Sasuke moved as if of one mind, leaping into the sky simultaneously.
As chakra surged from both their bodies, the entire sky let out a tremendous roar!
Sasuke: "Perfect Susanoo!!"
Naruto: "Kurama — Tailed Beast Transformation!!"
Two mountain-sized colossal figures appeared in an instant, immediately taking to the sky and soaring high.
During their ascent, Naruto and Sasuke both unleashed the strongest techniques they currently commanded.
Naruto controlled the enormous golden Nine-Tails chakra body, raising both hands as Yin and Yang power condensed on each arm respectively.
"Six Paths — Super Large Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto let out a mighty roar, using the chakra of all the Tailed Beasts within him combined with his own Yin-Yang power to form two massive Yin-Yang Release Rasenshuriken!
Boom! Boom!
Carrying an earth-shattering aura of destruction, Naruto hurled the two Yin-Yang Release Rasenshuriken straight down at Yuto!
On the other side.
Sasuke piloted the Perfect Susanoo through the sky, a bow and arrow formed entirely of chakra materializing in his hands.
Empowered by the Six Paths force and the Rinnegan's abilities, a brilliant arrow like blue lightning rapidly took shape on the bow. The entire sky erupted in massive storms and lightning, as if the apocalypse itself had arrived!
"Indra's Arrow!!"
Sasuke roared as the radiant arrow became a streak of light piercing heaven and earth, hurtling straight down at Uchiha Madara!
Seeing this, both Yuto and Uchiha Madara flashed a look of contempt in their eyes simultaneously, each letting out a cold snort!
"Pathetic tricks!"
The Rinnegan in Madara's eyes glowed with a faint purple light as his Perfect Susanoo materialized in an instant!
Within the extraordinarily dense chakra, blue chakra currents formed as if they were solid, crackling between the hands of Uchiha Madara's Perfect Susanoo!
"Six Paths — Yasaka Magatama!"
The blue Yasaka Magatama and Indra's Arrow, now a blue streak of light, collided violently with a thunderous boom!
"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
Yuto didn't bother with words. He raised his hand and slashed violently upward.
The silver tornado column collided with Naruto's Super Large Rasenshuriken at the same instant, creating a blinding orb of light that illuminated the entire sky and earth.
Then came the terrifying roar of explosions!
Naruto and Sasuke's strongest attacks, in the eyes of Yuto and Uchiha Madara, were at most on par with their own second-strongest techniques.
Just as Uchiha Madara had said from the very beginning!
Even the same Six Paths power came in different grades!
Seeing their attacks effortlessly blocked by both Uchiha Madara and Yuto, Sasuke and Naruto's expressions grew even grimmer.
"Damn it! Is the gap really this large!"
Sasuke panted heavily, his voice full of frustration.
"Now's not the time to lose heart, Sasuke!"
"If single attacks can be blocked, then let's combine our strength!"
Naruto shouted at Sasuke, calling out loudly.
Sasuke was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
They were inheritors of the legendary Sage of Six Paths' power — how could they lose to these two below them!
Sasuke piloted the Perfect Susanoo while Naruto controlled the golden Nine-Tails. The two colossal figures rapidly collided — no, more accurately, they fused together.
"Majestic Attire — Susanoo!"
Sasuke roared as the Perfect Susanoo enveloped Naruto's Nine-Tails, forming an overwhelmingly powerful entity with defense surpassing even Susanoo armor.
"Oh? Not bad."
Yuto raised an eyebrow slightly. In this state, Naruto and Sasuke finally radiated an aura that made him feel a hint of threat.
"Haha, now it's getting interesting. This way, killing you will actually be fun."
"Yuto, how about you leave these two to me?"
Uchiha Madara had also sensed the change in Naruto and Sasuke's fused aura. Excitement appeared on his face as he turned to look at Yuto.
"Leave them to you?"
"I have no interest in listening to a defeated man."
Yuto pursed his lips, clearly not intending to yield.
Hearing the words "defeated man."
Veins bulged on Madara's forehead. He had no retort — after all, he had indeed lost to Yuto in their fight.
"The combined strength of these two after fusing can at most deal with one of us. In that case, let's decide with rock-paper-scissors!"
Uchiha Madara's expression was grave as he stared fixedly at Yuto.
The moment those words left his mouth!
Yuto's expression also turned rare and serious. Both of them looked utterly focused as they extended their hands simultaneously.
Yuto played paper!
Uchiha Madara played scissors!
The result — Uchiha Madara won!
"Haha, I won!" Madara burst out laughing, then turned and unleashed his Perfect Susanoo, charging toward Naruto and Sasuke in the sky.
"Damn it!!"
"That guy definitely used the Rinnegan's insight. If Madara had shown killing intent, then I would have been the one who won!"
"Looks like Madara found another flaw again!"
Yuto scratched his head, speaking with clear irritation.
What looked like a simple game of rock-paper-scissors was, in truth, another kind of battle entirely.
For ordinary people, rock-paper-scissors was just a game. But for beings at their level, it wasn't just about reading the opponent — it was about the speed of the throw, the movement of muscles, the grasp of intentions, and far more.
Earlier, Uchiha Madara had not revealed any killing intent, which meant Satori's near-precognitive ability couldn't be used at all.
Naruto and Sasuke naturally saw the exchange between Uchiha Madara and Yuto.
That act of utter dismissal made anger flare across Sasuke's face.
"Naruto, let's go!"
Sasuke roared as he piloted the Majestic Attire Susanoo, charging straight at the approaching Uchiha Madara!
"Right!" Naruto roared in agreement.
Six Paths — Wind Style — Rasenshuriken!!
Blaze Release — Kagutsuchi!!
The enormous Majestic Attire Susanoo held each fighter's technique in its hands, then hurled both different ninjutsu downward simultaneously!
As the two techniques flew, they collided mid-air and began to merge. A terrifying aura seethed within this newly fused ninjutsu before erupting outward.
"Scorch Release — Light Wheel Wind Black Arrow Zero!!"
Naruto and Sasuke roared in unison, pushing the fused monstrous technique forward as they sped toward Uchiha Madara.
"Now this is much more interesting!"
"But it ends here. Let me show you the gap in our power!"
Uchiha Madara laughed dominantly, his overwhelming aura suppressing everything around him.
During this exchange, Madara also unleashed the combined technique he had used in his decisive battle with Yuto!
"Six Paths — Yasaka Magatama — Chibaku Tensei!"
Madara let out a low shout, wielding his apocalyptic power as he fired directly.
Two terrifying ninjutsu, both radiating an aura of destruction, collided mid-air with a heaven-and-earth-shaking roar.
Violent energy tides radiated outward from the point of impact, clearing the air for kilometers in every direction in an instant. At the very center of the explosion, black cracks faintly appeared — fractures in space itself!
Terrifying shockwaves rolled outward like raging ocean waves, each one higher than the last. The entire earth was scoured clean, leaving nothing but scorched wasteland!
At the center of the battle, Uchiha Madara's Perfect Susanoo developed massive cracks and began crumbling across large sections.
Madara shielded his face with one arm as he plummeted from the sky, crashing into the ground and carving a pit dozens of meters deep.
But very soon!
Madara leapt out of the crater and landed not far from Yuto, completely unharmed.
"It's over."
Madara turned his head slightly toward Yuto, speaking with calm indifference.
"I thought something unexpected might happen, but it seems I overestimated those two."
Hearing Madara's somewhat arrogant tone, Yuto pursed his lips with a hint of mockery.
With that said.
Yuto took the lead, stepping forward toward the center of the battlefield where Naruto and Sasuke had fallen.
Uchiha Madara wore a cold, proud expression as he strode forward, close behind.
The two of them walked forward side by side.
