Chapter 1068: Nagato Senju's Six Paths Mode!
Chapter 1068: Nagato Senju's Six Paths Mode!
The white laser that Uzumaki Madara spat from his mouth sliced through the ground like a knife through cake, heading straight for Minato and the others. At the same time, several more white beams of light shot out from the side!
"Boom——————!"
The moment the laser and the beams collided, the energy sphere they created scattered light in all directions, like a disco ball, leaving deep gashes in the ground.
Seeing his "Storm Release: Lightning Fang" blocked, Uzumaki Madara turned his head to the side and, upon spotting a figure slowly descending from the air, said with a hint of surprise, "So, you brat are still alive."
There was no doubt that the person who had just saved Minato was Yecheng, who had been absent for a long time. Not only was he not dead, but he was almost completely unscathed.
It was a joke. Ever since he mastered the third method of the Moon Cell, combined with his absurd regenerative abilities and overpowered healing magic, not to mention his Yin abilities, Yecheng's resilience was something even he couldn't fully grasp.
To put it bluntly, even Madara, who wielded the Six Paths Power, would pale in comparison to Yecheng's resilience. Perhaps only Kaguya Otsutsuki, who truly achieved immortality, could match him.
With such an absurd level of resilience, it was impossible for him to die in the clash with the Ten-Tails. The reason he hadn't shown up until now was that he had hidden his presence and used magic to make himself invisible, observing the battle from the shadows.
The reason was simple. He knew Uzumaki Madara wasn't the final boss. If his interference caused Madara to be killed prematurely, how would he deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was supposed to be the ultimate antagonist?
Yecheng wanted to solve the problem once and for all. If he only killed Madara, what if Kuro found a way to revive his mother again in a few decades?
Moreover, Madara was a crucial experience pack for Naruto and Sasuke, the two main protagonists. If he took out the boss first, how would they unlock their ultimate powers?
Given these reasons, Yecheng had chosen to fake his death and observe from the shadows, waiting for Kaguya to make her appearance.
If the two protagonists were truly on the brink of defeat, he could always step in to save the day.
What he hadn't expected was that Fugaku would be even more of a failure than Obito. After being betrayed by his filial son, Sasuke, Fugaku allowed Kuro to take control of his body so easily, leading to Madara regaining control much faster than in the original storyline.
Madara's premature use of the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" prevented Might Guy from delivering his iconic "Night Guy" kick, and the Sage of the Six Paths, who should have intervened earlier, only showed up when it was too late, with the two protagonists cornered.
Naruto and Sasuke's deep unconsciousness clearly indicated that the Sage of the Six Paths had taken them to a small black room to give them a power-up.
However, the Sage of the Six Paths hadn't considered that without Might Guy's delay, the time it took for the protagonists to receive their power-ups was enough for them to die multiple times.
The resurrected Kage, brought back by the Impure World Reincarnation, were no match for Madara with the Six Paths Power, and Yecheng couldn't stand by and watch the protagonists be killed. So, he ultimately chose to reveal himself.
"Hmph, I might have overlooked you if you had continued to hide like a cornered dog. But now that you've come out to seek your own death, I don't know whether to call you stupid or admire your reckless courage."
"How about it? Now that you see me, do you want to dance before me as well?"
Seeing that Yecheng Qian was not only alive but also standing before him, Uzumaki Madara felt not anger or disappointment but a sense of pleasure.
Throughout his life of countless battles, he had only ever lost to two people. One was Hashirama Senju, but in their previous confrontations, Uzumaki Madara had already proven that the gap between them was insurmountable, like a vast chasm.
The other person was Nagato Senju, who now stood before him.
While Nagato Senju had managed to defeat him by taking advantage of his weakened state, a loss was still a loss. Uzumaki Madara remembered the humiliation he suffered at Nagato's hands all too well.
If Hashirama Senju had earned Uzumaki Madara's respect through sheer strength, then Nagato Senju's lasting impression on him was due to two reasons: the humiliation he had inflicted and his cunning and deceit.
Uzumaki Madara would never admit that Yecheng Qian was smarter than him; he only acknowledged that Yecheng's cunning and deceit surpassed his own.
Compared to Hashirama Senju, who had only strength but no brains, Yecheng Qian, the second person to earn Uzumaki Madara's recognition, was mostly respected for his intellect.
After all, while everyone else was manipulated by Uzumaki Madara, Yecheng alone had seen through the truth and repeatedly foiled their plans.
But now, Uzumaki Madara wanted to prove to Yecheng that being smart was not enough.
In the face of absolute power, everything else was meaningless.
True invincibility required not only the might of a ninja world conqueror but also the mind to control the big picture.
To Uzumaki Madara, Hashirama Senju was just a brute with strength but no brains, while Yecheng was a clever trickster with insufficient power.
"You just got the Six Paths Power and became a cheap imitation of the Sage of the Six Paths, look at you gloating."
Hearing Yecheng's words, Uzumaki Madara's face immediately twisted with displeasure. He shook his white cloak and brandished the Six Paths Staff in his hand, ready to educate this inexperienced brat about the value of his exclusive, rare form.
However, just as Uzumaki Madara was about to speak, the scene before him froze his words and left him with a stunned expression.
As one of the former Four Great Laughers, Uzumaki Madara had always prided himself on his composed demeanor, rarely losing his cool. But what he saw now was truly beyond his control!
The Senju clan brat, whom he had deemed clever but weak, was now standing before him, wearing the same outfit as him!
The white cloak, the black Truth Seeker Balls and Tomoe, and the black rod that could transform into any weapon, currently a black blade held firmly in Yecheng's hand.
While Uzumaki Madara didn't understand how Yecheng had managed this, he could clearly sense the Six Paths Power and Yin energy emanating from him—this was the same Six Paths Mode as his own!
