Chapter 284: Unstoppable! 【17】
Chapter 284: Unstoppable! 【17】
With all the tailed beasts captured, the Impure World Reincarnation's final command was also lifted, causing all those resurrected, including Minato Namikaze, to lose their instructions.
The battle in Kumogakure had come to a complete halt.
All the reincarnated shinobi had also mostly stopped moving. At this moment, whether they were ninjas or those resurrected by Impure World Reincarnation, almost everyone was looking at Uchiha Madara.
Madara, having entered the Six Paths mode, did not emit any dazzling light, but his black and white form, the Six Paths staff in his hand, and the Six Paths robe he wore, were all forms that none of the ninjas present had ever seen before.
"Just by touching it..."
Minato stared at the Fourth Raikage, who had been thrown to the distance, and Madara, who had donned the Six Paths robe and condensed the Chakra fruit. His pupils constricted slightly.
As he had judged, that black sphere had fused with at least four nature transformations, and there might even be more!
"Sage of the Six Paths... You said you obtained the power of the Sage of the Six Paths..."
Minato addressed Madara, "Is collecting the tailed beasts just for this? What do you intend to do now that you have attained such power?!"
After experiencing the might of the Six Paths mode, Madara slowly lowered his left hand, turned to Minato, and calmly said, "To save this world."
"..."
This statement caused Minato and the First Raikage's bodies to stiffen slightly.
The First Raikage spoke to Madara in a deep voice, "Save the world? I don't believe that's what you're doing. That's a lofty topic!"
"That is my purpose," Madara replied indifferently. "To gather all the tailed beasts, attain the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, and then use a technique called 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' to cover the entire world, merging it with myself. After that, there will be no more war in this world!"
As he spoke, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "And I shall be the savior of this world!"
Hiss!!
Just as Madara finished speaking, Minato's figure disappeared and reappeared behind Madara, pressing his Rasengan against Madara's back.
"That kind of false peace has no meaning!"
Minato's eyes sparkled.
Buzz!
The Rasengan hit Madara's back but instantly dissolved, leaving no mark on Madara's body.
Minato's pupils constricted as he saw this, and he immediately saw Madara's Chakra fruit staff swinging towards him.
"No good!"
He mentally cursed and immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.
If he were in his living state, he would have needed only an instant to activate the Flying Thunder God. However, in his Impure World Reincarnation state, as he was not in his peak condition, there was a slight delay in the technique's activation, and this delay prevented him from dodging Madara's attack.
Puchi!!
Minato's figure was split by Madara's Chakra fruit staff, severing his left arm and left shoulder. The remaining part of his body flashed to the distance, barely avoiding being turned into fragments.
The First Raikage and the others were also ninjas who had experienced countless wars. They had more or less reacted when Minato made his move and rushed towards Madara from another direction.
"Storm Release: Lightning Flash Spear!"
He roared, thrusting his right hand forward. Black lightning transformed into a beam that pierced towards Madara's chest in an instant.
At the same time.
The Fourth Raikage, who had fallen not far away, was also bathed in lightning. He stomped the ground and charged at Madara, slashing at Madara's legs with his left hand.
The Third Raikage, bathed in lightning, extended his left hand and used the One Finger Nukite, a piercing technique, aiming for Madara's back.
The attacks of the three Raikage arrived in an instant!
It seemed slow, but in reality, it was already at its extreme speed. Ordinary ninjas standing here might not even be able to see the three Raikage's movements.
The First Raikage's Storm Release, a black lightning spear, landed on the surface of the Seekers' Orb and instantly vanished like snow melting under the sun.
The Fourth Raikage's hand blade was also a step too slow. It failed to cut into Madara's body and was blocked by the pitch-black Seekers' Orb, his entire arm disappearing into it in an instant.
Whoosh!
The Third Raikage charged into the Seekers' Orb, but his piercing strike also dissolved, half of his body instantly eroded away. Only the remaining half of his body barely managed to twist aside, falling to the ground on Madara's right.
Minato Namikaze's sudden assault, along with the three Raikage's furious attacks, were effortlessly countered by Madara in an instant, failing to achieve any effect!
This scene caused a tumultuous wave of emotions among the nearby Cloud ninjas and the Impure World Reincarnation ninjas. They watched as the Seekers' Orb melted once more, reverting to its staff form and falling back into Madara's hand, and fear permeated their eyes.
What kind of power was that?!
Ninjutsu was ineffective...
Physical contact caused instant disintegration...
"Is this the power of the Sage of the Six Paths?"
Minato clenched his remaining right fist. At this moment, he felt the immense gap between himself and Madara—a gap so vast it seemed insurmountable.
His attacks had been utterly useless, and he had no idea how to even begin fighting Madara in his current state. The difference between them was no longer a matter of realms.
Unstoppable!
The thought flashed through Minato's mind.
"I've said it before," Madara said, glancing indifferently at Minato and the others. "This is the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, far beyond what humans can possess. You have no hope of stopping me."
Madara then looked up at the sky and said, "It's about time to begin."
It was daytime.
But he could pull the moon closer if he wanted to.
As Madara gazed skyward, the Black Zetsu, attached to the White Zetsu, approached him from behind.
"Lord Madara, shall we begin?" Black Zetsu asked.
Madara kept his eyes on the sky as he replied, "I don't sense Hashirama's chakra. Otherwise, I would have liked to play with him some more. Now, it's a bit boring."
Black Zetsu continued to draw closer to Madara, a gleam in his eyes.
Infinite Tsukuyomi was one of the conditions to release the seal on the moon, a means to release Kaguya Otsutsuki's spirit and reconstitute her will. But since Feng Ye had previously destroyed the moon, that restriction no longer existed.
Even without casting Infinite Tsukuyomi or gathering the tailed beasts, Kaguya's will would eventually revive within him. She would appear in a pure soul form, akin to Impure World Reincarnation but without power. So, he needed to prepare the power of the Ten-Tails for her in advance.
Now...
Everything was ready.
With just one strike, he could implant his will into Madara's body, allowing Kaguya's will to fully revive, consume Madara, and gain control of the Ten-Tails' power.
However...
Just as Black Zetsu gradually drew closer to Madara, ready to strike, his steps suddenly froze, and he looked up at the sky.
Minato and the three Raikage also looked up, their gazes following his.
There!
A golden light appeared at the edge of the sky, like a meteor, rapidly falling toward them.
Even before it fully descended, an overwhelming pressure filled the air.
"..."
Madara fixed his gaze on the golden light in the sky.
While others couldn't see clearly, his Rinnegan could discern that the figure descending amidst the golden light was none other than—
The Fifth Hokage of Konoha!
