Chapter 404 Six Immortals Get Beaten Up
A fierce wind swept up pebbles, howling and raging through Mount Myoboku.
The Sage of Six Paths' chakra surged suddenly, and dozens of jet-black Truth-Seeking Balls appeared out of thin air, like shooting stars poised to be launched, suspended in mid-air.
As the Sage of Six Paths swung his arm, these black spheres containing the power of annihilation shot towards Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. The sharp sound of them cutting through the air was extremely piercing, and the space around them was slightly distorted. Even the three figures in the distant sky couldn't help but focus their attention.
High in the distance above the battlefield, immortals from the three holy lands floated silently.
The Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku frowned deeply, the smoke from his pipe swirling erratically amidst the violent chakra fluctuations below, yet his turbid eyes remained fixed on the battle. The White Snake Sage of Ryūchi Cave flicked his forked tongue, his vertical pupils a mixture of interest and wariness, his scales gleaming coldly in the lightning. The Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest split his body into several pieces, his pale pink form gently writhing, silently sensing every flow of chakra, observing this battle that could shake the very foundations of the ninja world.
The three legendary immortals remained silent, observing this fateful battle as mere spectators. Atop a distant mountain, Minato Namikaze held Naruto's arm tightly, yellow lightning patterns flickering around him, ready to respond to any unforeseen circumstances.
"Father, the Sage of Six Paths, Madara Uchiha, and Hashirama Senju... their power... is simply beyond my imagination!"
Naruto clenched his fist, blue chakra surging slightly in his palm, his eyes filled with shock and barely concealed tension, his body trembling slightly with excitement and awe.
Minato Namikaze nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, his voice heavy as iron: "That's right, there's also Hamura Otsutsuki, and Hinata Hyuga who possesses the Tenseigan. This battle concerns the survival of the ninja world, but with our strength, we can't intervene... Naruto, look closely, Kaguya Otsutsuki on the high platform, though she's standing there motionless, her very presence is already making the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki somewhat restrained."
Suddenly, the Sage of Six Paths casually tossed out a string of Truth-Seeking Balls, and the whooshing sound of the black spheres piercing the air once again echoed through the valley.
Faced with this offensive, Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a haughty sneer, his eyes filled with disdain.
Hashirama Senju's expression remained calm and composed, his aura as steady as a mountain.
Almost simultaneously, the pupils of both of them underwent a sudden transformation, with a pale purple light flowing within their Rinnegan, radiating an aura of dominance over the world.
After activating their Rinnegan, the two faced off against the Sage of Six Paths from afar, their auras no less imposing, like three opposing mountains.
The next second, dense chakra surged from both of them, sweeping out like a black torrent, each condensing nine Truth-Seeking Balls, which formed two indestructible black barriers as they hovered around them.
With a low shout from the two, the barrier surged forward, crashing head-on into the Sage of Six Paths' attack.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of deafening collisions echoed, like thunderclaps exploding in our ears.
The black Truth-Seeking Balls exploded violently in mid-air, and the chakra turbulence swept out like a tsunami, shattering the surrounding toad statues. The fragments mixed with dust flew everywhere, obscuring half of the sky and making the already gloomy world even darker.
Witnessing this scene, the Sage of Six Paths' pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints, and his previously resolute face instantly turned solemn, his heart churning with shock: "The Rinnegan? You can actually awaken the Rinnegan too!"
He had thought that he could gain an absolute advantage with his unique Rinnegan and Truth-Seeking Balls, but now he found that the strength of these two juniors far exceeded his expectations, and he had to completely put away his contempt.
Seeing this, Hamura Otsutsuki, who was not far away, tightened his grip on his longsword, his knuckles turning white, and faint purple chakra ripples appeared beneath his feet, clearly intending to rush forward to support his brother. But just as he was about to move, a dark figure teleported in front of him like a ghost, blocking his path.
She was a girl who looked no more than eighteen years old. Her slender yet explosive figure was outlined in a black outfit. What was most eye-catching were her scarlet Rinnegan eyes, with patterns flowing in the pupils, carrying a sharp insight that could see through everything.
It was Uchiha Kakuzumi. A cold hatred lingered at the corners of her mouth, and wisps of red chakra surrounded her, carrying an eerie aura that could corrode everything.
"Hamura Otsutsuki, what's your hurry?"
Uchiha Kakuzumi's voice was clear yet chillingly cold. His red Rinnegan narrowed slightly, his dynamic vision capturing every movement of Otsutsuki Hamura. "Your opponent is me."
Soon, Hamura Otsutsuki and Kazetsu Uchiha were locked in combat.
Hamura Otsutsuki used the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, each strike carrying the domineering power of the Tenseigan. Wherever the sword light passed, the ground was carved with trenches hundreds of feet deep.
However, Uchiha Kakuzumi's movement technique was extremely strange. The dynamic vision granted by her red Rinnegan allowed her to accurately predict every attack. Her figure moved and dodged like a ghost, and occasionally she would use spatial teleportation to instantly appear behind Otsutsuki Hamura and launch a surprise attack.
Uchiha Kazetsu raised his hand and sent more than a dozen Truth-Seeking Balls hurtling toward Otsutsuki Hamura. The dark chakra landed on the ground and instantly corroded deep pits.
She was even able to briefly condense a complete Susanoo to restrain Hamura Otsutsuki's offensive, and for a time she was at a stalemate with this veteran Six Paths level powerhouse.
Kaguya Otsutsuki remained standing indifferently on the high platform, her white robes fluttering in the strong wind.
She showed no sign of making a move, but simply watched the battlefield quietly with her deep eyes. Her gaze lingered briefly on the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki, yet it carried a suppressive force that came from the depths of her bloodline.
That single gaze caused the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki to instinctively slow their movements by a fraction. This was the pressure of an ancestor-level being; without even lifting a finger, it exerted immense psychological and physical pressure on the two of them.
Soon, the battlefield between Otsutsuki Hamura and Uchiha Kakuzosu began to tilt.
Even though Uchiha Kazetsu possessed powerful abilities such as the red Rinnegan, dynamic vision, and spatial teleportation, Otsutsuki Hamura had over a thousand years of combat experience, and the difference in their strength was still enormous.
A sword light suddenly flashed past, and Uchiha Kakuzo was unable to dodge in time. His left arm was severed, and red blood splattered onto the ground.
"Oh dear...it seems I'll have to ask for help...Mitsubo's father, please help me!"
Despite the excruciating pain from his wounds, Uchiha Kakuze activated his spatial teleportation and rapidly retreated, widening the distance between himself and Otsutsuki Hamura.
On the other side, the Sage of Six Paths dared not be negligent in the slightest. He quickly formed hand seals, and the remaining Truth-Seeking Balls instantly gathered together. In a flash of light, they transformed into a long spear that was pure white and had ancient patterns... It was the divine weapon, the Heavenly Swamp Spear.
"This is... the Amatsu Spear!"
A sharp glint flashed in Sanfeng's eyes from afar; he naturally knew of the indestructible power of this divine weapon.
The Sage of Six Paths gripped the Heavenly Swamp Spear and hurled it forward with tremendous force. The spear, carrying the power to tear apart heaven and earth, pierced through the air, creating a vacuum trail wherever its tip passed, even causing ripples in space.
Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju immediately manipulated the Truth-Seeking Balls, condensing them into an impenetrable black defensive wall.
However, the power of the Amazu Spear far exceeded expectations. With a crisp "sizzle," the sturdy Truth-Seeking Ball defensive wall was directly cleaved open. Amidst the flying black fragments, the Amazu Spear's momentum did not diminish, still heading straight for the two people's faces.
"not good!"
The two men's expressions changed drastically. They were veterans of countless battles, and their combat experience had reached its peak. Almost the instant their defenses were breached, they simultaneously exerted force with their feet, their figures flashing to the sides like ghosts.
Just then, an unexpected event occurred: a fragment of the Truth-Seeking Ball that had been cleaved by the Tenma Spear suddenly changed its trajectory under the influence of the turbulent current, carrying the remaining annihilation power, and shot straight toward Madara Uchiha's side.
Although Madara Uchiha had already noticed, he was unable to completely avoid the main attack and could only twist his body. The fragments grazed his Susanoo armor, leaving a deep scratch, and the skin under the armor was also torn, with a trace of bright red blood seeping out.
The Tenma Spear grazed the edge of Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, carving a deep trench tens of feet deep into the ground. Rocks and soil shot into the sky, and amidst the billowing dust, the entire Mount Myōboku trembled slightly.
As they retreated, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju launched a counterattack.
Despite the sharp pain in his side, Madara Uchiha's killing intent intensified as he unleashed a powerful punch from his Perfect Susanoo, carrying immense force towards the Sage of Six Paths.
Hashirama Senju slammed his hands down on the ground, and several thick wooden dragons burst forth from the earth, wreathed in dense Sage Chakra. Like lurking beasts, they swept towards the Sage of Six Paths, blocking all his escape routes.
Just as the Sage of Six Paths was about to retract his Heavenly Swamp Spear, he was forced to dodge in a sorry state by the attack from both sides. However, he was a step too slow, and Madara Uchiha's Susanoo punch landed squarely on his chest.
With a muffled "thud," the Sage of Six Paths was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a giant rock. The rock shattered instantly into pieces, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning ashen.
The Sage of Six Paths possesses a strong regenerative ability; his injuries were healed in just a few breaths.
His true purpose in setting foot on Mount Myōboku this time was not simply to engage in a duel, but to absorb the extremely concentrated natural energy here. He had already secretly activated a secret technique to absorb a massive amount of natural energy, but had not revealed it until now.
With his life threatened, he could no longer hide. A dense green chakra erupted from his body, unique Sage Mode markings appeared on his forehead, his eyes shone brightly, and his aura surged several times over. His originally pale face even regained some color.
"Since you insist on forcing me, then I'll show you... my true strength..."
