Chapter 781: Sage Muzuki! (5k, First Update!)

“Truly reckless, Obito. If you had only resurrected Uchiha Madara, you might have lasted a while longer. Without me, you wouldn’t survive three minutes.”

Black Zetsu mocked.

He was a creation of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya; though his strength was average, his nature was quite high-level.

“Then leave my body and let me die.”

Six Paths Obito said expressionlessly.

From the moment he used Reincarnation, he hadn’t intended to live.

“Even trash has its uses; your body can still be used for combat.”

Black Zetsu sneered.

Although Six Paths Obito no longer had a Tailed Beast inside him, he had at least been the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki; his body had evolved, and there was still some Chakra remaining, so his strength wouldn’t be weak.

Having said that, Black Zetsu raised his hand, intending to attack Minato Namikaze and Kakashi.

But he only raised his hand five centimeters before he could no longer control his arm.

“Being controlled by you earlier was because I was too weak at the time. Did you really think you could control me forever?”

Six Paths Obito said with disdain.

Although he had given up the Tailed Beast himself, he had still suffered the damage, otherwise, his will would not have lost to Uchiha Madara.

“Obito is fighting that black creature. How can we help him?”

Minato Namikaze gripped his Flying Thunder God Kunai, deep in thought.

Whoosh!

Obito and Naruto appeared beside Kakashi.

“This is?”

Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto, who bore a striking resemblance to himself, and was slightly taken aback.

“Minato-sensei, quickly give your Nine-Tailed Chakra to him.”

Obito said quickly.

Minato Namikaze had seen Obito and Kakashi use the fusion earring, so he immediately understood the reason and began transferring Chakra.

“You don’t need to give me all of the Nine-Tailed Chakra; just transferring the vast majority will suffice.”

Naruto said calmly.

He himself wasn’t sure what would happen after the Nine-Tailed Chakra was absorbed and the fusion ended, so he had set the time to finish off Uchiha Madara at two and a half minutes.

If any accidents happened, there would still be the Nine-Tailed Chakra inside Minato Namikaze as a fallback.

Therefore, the half of the Nine-Tailed inside Minato Namikaze was an insurance policy that could not be touched.

“Give me some too.”

Obito added; he didn’t have much Chakra left now either.

“Is this the reason Uchiha Madara was resurrected?”

After finishing the matter of the Chakra, Obito finally noticed the Six Paths Obito standing frozen in place.

“Quickly destroy my Rinnegan; we cannot let Uchiha Madara gather both eyes.”

Six Paths Obito said quickly when he saw Obito arrive.

“Uh, the big jerk has already gathered both eyes; he snatched Nagato’s eyes.”

Obito said, scratching his head.

Six Paths Obito:…

He only just remembered one thing: Nagato’s Rinnegan wasn’t his own, so the Rinnegan of the Nagato from the other world could only be the Rinnegan of the Uchiha Madara from the other world.

“Obito, your efforts are in vain.”

Black Zetsu let out a ruthless laugh.

Whoosh!

Senju Tobirama and the others appeared beside Obito.

“Since you don’t want this Rinnegan anymore, why not give it to Nagato?”

Obito looked at Nagato’s missing left eye, then at Six Paths Obito’s purple left eye, and proposed a good suggestion.

Boom!

Before Six Paths Obito could answer Obito’s question, Uchiha Madara, holding a black staff, landed.

“Senju Tobirama, I really should have dealt with you first.”

Looking at the Ninjas who were like sticky taffy and couldn’t be shaken off, Uchiha Madara looked at Senju Tobirama.

Among the Ninjas present, if he had to pick one he found the most displeasing, it would definitely be Senju Tobirama.

“Then feel free to come at me.”

Senju Tobirama snorted coldly; he wasn’t afraid of Uchiha Madara when he was alive, let alone now that he was a dead man.

“Heh.”

Uchiha Madara didn’t rush in; instead, he looked at Naruto, who was shrouded in golden Nine-Tailed Chakra.

Limbo: Border Jail could not be used at all times; it had a certain cooldown period.

Naruto was powerful, so before Limbo: Border Jail finished cooling down, he wouldn’t rashly step forward.

“Fine, come over quickly and take my Rinnegan.”

Six Paths Obito nodded without hesitation.

This Rinnegan itself was something he had snatched from the corpse of “Nagato,” so giving it to Nagato could be considered returning the item to its owner.

Obito immediately pulled Nagato and ran towards Six Paths Obito.

“Obito, has no one ever taught you that you shouldn’t just hand over things that don’t belong to you to others?”

Uchiha Madara waved his hand and smashed two Truth-Seeking Orbs at Obito and Nagato.

Although he no longer needed the Rinnegan, it was impossible for him to let others obtain his eyes.

Kakashi instantly entered Sage Mode and rushed out, wanting to block the attack with Sage Art: Limitless.

Bang!

Naruto, whose body was shining with the golden light of the Nine-Tailed Chakra, flashed forward and kicked the two Truth-Seeking Orbs away, saying coldly:

“Old man, hurry back to your coffin; don’t come out and embarrass yourself anymore.”

“What an arrogant brat.”

Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes, feeling that Naruto’s Chakra had become even more powerful than before.

“He became even stronger just by absorbing some Nine-Tailed Chakra. What exactly is this kid’s background?”

Uchiha Madara was puzzled.

He was a Gedo Statue plus eight Tailed Beasts plus half of the Nine-Tailed, while Naruto had only absorbed a portion of the Nine-Tailed Chakra.

Logically speaking, Naruto shouldn’t have the ability to fight against him, but in reality, Naruto possessed power extremely close to his own.

Uchiha Madara couldn’t understand how this was possible.

“I’m doing it.”

Nagato reminded him as he reached out.

Six Paths Obito nodded slightly with a calm expression.

Having reconfirmed Six Paths Obito’s wishes, Nagato quickly removed Six Paths Obito’s eye, completed the healing, and stuffed it into the eye socket.

“This Chakra…”

Nagato froze, feeling a powerful surge of Chakra contained within the left eye.

“Idiot, little Kakashi, come closer to my body.”

Six Paths Obito said, looking at Obito and Kakashi.

Kakashi thought for a moment and walked to Six Paths Obito’s side.

Obito looked left and right, and finding that there was only Nagato, himself, and Kakashi around Six Paths Obito, he couldn’t help but be furious.

“You don’t want the power of the Six Paths?”

Obito quickly placed his hand on Six Paths Obito’s body.

One thing is one thing; Chakra could still be asked for.

“Because I have to suppress the black creature on my body, I can only give a portion of the Chakra to you. The amount of Chakra is limited, so you must use it cautiously. Either don’t attack, or if you do, strike Uchiha Madara heavily.”

Six Paths Obito warned with a serious expression.

“Lord Uchiha Madara, you must be careful; Obito has shared his remaining power with these three guys.”

Black Zetsu shouted to remind Uchiha Madara.

“Doing unnecessary things again.”

Uchiha Madara, flying in the sky, frowned slightly, feeling very dissatisfied with Six Paths Obito.

“Susanoo!”

Naruto’s Chakra erupted, and a tall purple giant over 150 meters high, wearing a golden cloak, appeared on the battlefield, flapping its wings and flying towards Uchiha Madara in the sky.

“Chibaku Tensei!”

Uchiha Madara continued to increase his altitude, then released more than ten Chibaku Tensei in one breath.

“Susanoo: Rasenshuriken!”

Naruto controlled the Susanoo to nock an arrow and draw the bow, firing energy arrows carrying Rasenshuriken, which quickly destroyed the cores of all the Chibaku Tensei.

“Sage Art: Storm Release: Light Fang!”

Uchiha Madara seized the opportunity to spit out a laser, directly cutting Naruto’s Complete Body Susanoo.

Whoosh!

Naruto didn’t care at all and rushed forward, his hands once again condensing a Chidori and Rasengan formed from Six Paths Chakra, his eyes fixed on Uchiha Madara.

“Amenotejikara!”

Boom!!

Naruto raised the Six Paths Senjutsu and smashed it fiercely onto Uchiha Madara, who had been swapped to be in front of him.

“So that’s how it is; your Rinnegan’s ability is to swap positions.”

Looking at the rubble not far away, Uchiha Madara finally understood the ability of Naruto’s Rinnegan.

Just now, there were four pieces of Chibaku Tensei rubble in front of Naruto; after he came over, the stones had become three.

After figuring out the information about Naruto, Uchiha Madara did not hesitate to activate Limbo, letting the Limbo clone take the damage for him, while he withdrew from the range of Naruto’s attack.

His Limbo: Border Jail had finished cooling down, otherwise he wouldn’t have taken the initiative to attack.

“So what if you know? This is a pupil power you cannot resist.”

Naruto said coldly and arrogantly after landing on the ground.

“Arrogant brat.”

Uchiha Madara was unimpressed.

Naruto’s Rinnegan pupil technique was indeed strong, but his Limbo: Border Jail was not weak either.

Uchiha Madara flew in the sky, controlling the Limbo clone to rush towards Naruto.

On the surface, Naruto didn’t care, but in his mind, he was constantly thinking about tactics.

There was a very awkward situation now: he was slightly stronger than Uchiha Madara, but not by much, making it difficult to finish him off quickly.

Whoosh!

At this moment, the sound of a Kunai piercing the air rang out.

One Kunai was shot at the Limbo clone not far from Naruto, and another was shot at Uchiha Madara, who was flying in the sky.

“Do you dare to challenge me with such meager power?”

The corners of Uchiha Madara’s mouth curled up slightly.

The power that Six Paths Obito shared with Kakashi and the others was likely only enough to cast a single Ninjutsu; what could they possibly accomplish with that?

Swoosh!

Obito, carrying Nagato and Kakashi, flashed to the side of the Limbo clones.

“Zhou Tian Sealing!”

Nagato grabbed one Limbo clone with each hand, using the Six Paths power granted by Obito to perform the Sealing Technique.

Jet-black sealing formulas crawled all over the bodies of the Limbo clones, and Uchiha Madara was surprised to find that he had lost control of those two clones.

“Why has he mastered such a powerful Sealing Technique?”

Uchiha Madara was astonished.

A mere Nagato had actually managed to temporarily restrain two of his Limbo clones.

The other two Limbo clones rushed rapidly toward Nagato.

“Amenotejikara!”

Naruto quickly swapped positions with a Flying Thunder God Kunai and reached out to block the Limbo clone’s attack.

“Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

Naruto created four Shadow Clones, ordering them to entangle the remaining Limbo clones.

Bang!

Uchiha Madara was immediately blasted away by the Flying Thunder God Kunai, sending him flying high into the sky.

After several exchanges, he had determined that distance was the weakness of Naruto’s Rinnegan ocular technique; when the distance was too great, Naruto could not perform the swap.

“Madara!”

At that moment, Senju Hashirama launched himself through his Wood Golem, rushing toward Uchiha Madara.

“Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!”

Senju Hashirama pressed his hands together, instantly creating a massive wooden dragon.

“Hashirama, do you still not understand the gap between us now?!”

Uchiha Madara swung his staff and shattered the wood dragon.

Facing him, now that he was the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the Wood Release of the Edo Tensei Hashirama was too weak.

Swoosh!

Senju Tobirama appeared above Uchiha Madara, bringing Might Guy and his adult self with him.

Senju Hashirama was not the main attacker; he was the coordinate for Senju Tobirama’s movement!

“Morning Tiger!”

Both Might Guy and his adult self pushed their power to the limit, blasting out two incredibly powerful tiger-shaped air cannons.

Bang!

The immense power forced Uchiha Madara to plummet rapidly.

Obito glanced at Kakashi, and both of them wore incredibly serious expressions as they began to condense the Six Paths power within them.

Naruto didn’t have much time left; they had to finish Uchiha Madara with this move.

But Uchiha Madara was stronger than Six Paths Obito; ordinary moves definitely wouldn’t work, so they had to try the Intersecting Power which was still under development.

In fact, Kakashi had always had a feeling that the Intersecting Power had already succeeded, but their Chakra was insufficient to unleash it.

The two pressed their palms together; a flash of intensely hot cyan flame appeared in Obito’s palm, while Kakashi’s palm was covered in purple lightning carrying an aura of destruction.

Immediately after, their Chakra spun rapidly, forming a Chakra sphere.

Inside the Chakra sphere, the flames and lightning constantly intersected and merged; there was lightning within the fire, and fire within the lightning.

“Amenotejikara!”

Naruto, with Chidori in his left hand and Rasengan in his right, stared intently at the falling Uchiha Madara and activated his ocular technique.

Swoosh!

With a familiar blur before his eyes, Uchiha Madara hadn’t even had time to see where he was before the attack struck him.

“Sage Art: Radiant Lightning Rasengan!”

“Sage Art: Sky Lightning Scorching Flame!”

The two great Six Paths Sage Arts struck his body, causing Uchiha Madara to cough up blood as he was sent flying backward.

Lightning and fire simultaneously ravaged Uchiha Madara’s body; in the blink of an eye, half of his body was gone, and the damage continued to spread at a speed that exceeded Uchiha Madara’s regenerative abilities.

Rumble!!

Uchiha Madara slammed hard into the Divine Tree. The power of the two Six Paths Sage Arts exploded completely, blasting Uchiha Madara down to just his head, and even the Divine Tree snapped, leaving deep, charred marks at the break.

“That should have finished him, right?”

Obito panted heavily; that single blow had not only exhausted the Six Paths power that Six Paths Obito had given him, but his own power had also been nearly drained dry.

“Huff… huff…”

Although Naruto still maintained a cool standing posture, he was also gasping for air.

Amenotejikara consumed a massive amount of energy, and having used it repeatedly just now, his already strained body had reached its limit.

“Even that tree was snapped; it must have been a success.”

Kakashi said, also panting.

Even the Night Guy from the Eight Gates had only made the tree shake, which was enough to illustrate the terror of their strike just now.

“How is this possible? I clearly already possessed power equal to the Six Paths Sage.”

Uchiha Madara’s expression twisted; he could not accept the fact that he had been defeated by Naruto and the others.

“Absorb the Divine Tree, absorb everything…”

At that moment, a mysterious voice entered Uchiha Madara’s mind.

Driven to this desperate impasse, Uchiha Madara couldn’t care about anything else; he used his last bit of strength to control his head, floating it over to the fallen Divine Tree, and opened his mouth wide.

Immediately afterward, the Divine Tree, as if afraid that Uchiha Madara would run away, surged frantically into Uchiha Madara’s mouth.

Accompanied by the entry of the Divine Tree, a new, powerful force appeared within Uchiha Madara’s body, helping him purge the lightning and fire, and restoring his body.

“Hahaha!! Heaven is indeed on my side.”

Looking at Naruto and the others who were exhausted, Uchiha Madara laughed maniacally.

He had already grasped the method to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi; true peace for the Ninja World was about to arrive.

“Did you work your magic again, Kakashi?”

Looking at Uchiha Madara, who had revived as if nothing had happened, Obito looked at Kakashi with a speechless expression.

Ever since the Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara, every time Obito thought Uchiha Madara was done for, Uchiha Madara would hold on; his vitality was simply too tenacious.

“If I had that ability, I would have made Teacher Muzuki come over here sooner.”

Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito.

Suddenly, a white light flashed, and Naruto disappeared, leaving only the gasping Sasuke and Naruto lying on the ground.

“Quickly, transfer the Nine-Tailed to Brother Naruto!”

Obito stuffed a restorative secret medicine into Naruto’s mouth and then shouted at Minato Namikaze.

Minato Namikaze immediately flashed in front of Naruto and began to transfer the Nine-Tailed to him.

“Absorbing the last half of the Tailed Beast will be the moment I guide the entire Ninja World.”

Uchiha Madara laughed wildly as he rushed toward Naruto.

Although his power at this moment was already sufficient to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Uchiha Madara worried that missing half of the Nine-Tailed would make it imperfect, leading to errors.

“Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!”

“Magnet Release: Iron Sand!”

“Magnet Release: Sand Storm!”

“Sage Art…”

Everyone was doing their best to intercept Six Paths Madara, but for Uchiha Madara now, these attacks were just a drizzle.

Swish!

Just as Uchiha Madara reached the space above Naruto, a flash of lightning streaked by, and the arm Uchiha Madara had extended was severed and dropped to the ground.

“Who is it!?”

Uchiha Madara spun around rapidly and looked up, seeing a figure bathed in golden light.

“Haha, you big jerk, you’re done for!”

Seeing the figure in the sky, Obito completely relaxed, slumped on the ground, and laughed while cursing.

Some second Six Paths Sage, or power equal to the Six Paths Sage—could they be stronger than his all-powerful Sage Muzuki?

Without a doubt, impossible!

Kakashi fell into deep thought; could he really trigger mysterious forces from the great beyond?

“It’s going to end.”

Nagato felt relieved in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although it had only been two days and two nights since he had seen Muzuki, it felt as if a very long, long time had passed.

“Is that me from a parallel world?”

Minato Namikaze looked up at the figure in the golden light, vaguely seeing another version of himself.

“There is actually such a powerful person in another world.”

Senju Tobirama was full of astonishment.

Just by sensing the Chakra, he could confirm one thing: the person glowing with dazzling golden-red light was very strong, a Ninja of the same level as the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

“He finally arrived.”

Kakuzu lay on the ground.

He had originally thought that having obtained some of Muzuki’s Ninjutsu, he was strong enough, but after participating in a Shinobi World War, he felt like he was just a rookie.

The aftermath of the battle between Uchiha Madara and Naruto and Sasuke was enough to finish him off.

After going back, he should just honestly do financial work.

“Muzuki… Teacher…”

Six Paths Obito gazed at the dazzling figure in the sky, unable to help himself from shouting the most profound sentence in Obito’s memory.

PS: There will be another chapter later.
