Chapter 367: This is, of Course, to Save the Ninja World
Chapter 367: This is, of Course, to Save the Ninja World
"Impressive ability, but it lacks versatility."
Yuyi Xuan Yue gazed at the seven stars converging above, forming the Celestial Hindrance Star, and calmly spoke.
The next instant, as the first meteor approached, Yuyi Xuan Yue extended his palm and pressed down upon it.
Contrary to expectations, he did not lift the meteor with his hand. Instead, his palm took on the same color as the meteor.
Like a river flowing into the sea, the part of his hand that first made contact with the meteor merged with it.
Soon after, Yuyi Xuan Yue's entire body followed suit, disappearing from the outside world and becoming one with the meteor.
It was similar to becoming one with nature.
With the Blood Inheritance Net, Yuyi Xuan Yue could seamlessly merge with his natural surroundings.
Although the Celestial Hindrance Star was Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan technique, the meteors it summoned belonged to the physical realm.
One could defy the will of the Divine Ancestor, but not the laws of nature.
While the Blood Inheritance Net wasn't as overtly oppressive as the Rinnegan's techniques, it enhanced the user's fundamental prowess.
At the same level of the Six Paths, the difference between possessing the Blood Inheritance Net or not was significant.
Uchiha Madara, empowered by the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths, had ascended to the level of the Six Paths, but the Sage could not impart his Blood Inheritance Net to Madara.
Even when fused with Kaguya Otsutsuki, who possessed the Blood Inheritance Net, her strength did not reach its pinnacle, especially with Yuyi Xuan Yue wielding the Six Paths: Earth-Shattering Star.
Thus, with the dual empowerment of the Six Paths and the Blood Inheritance Net, Yuyi Xuan Yue in his peak state could battle two opponents and maintain the upper hand throughout.
Rumble, rumble!
The seven massive meteors broke through the atmosphere, their long tails of flame trailing behind as they crashed into the earth.
The aftermath of their impact shattered mountains and cleaved the land.
The affected area encompassed nearly the entire continent's center.
As Uchiha Madara dispersed the thick cloud of dust that reached the skies, he looked down at the crater that had become a vast basin.
From one of the shattered meteors, a hand slowly extended.
Soon, Yuyi Xuan Yue emerged, appearing unharmed and calm as he walked out from the debris.
The wind howled.
The white robe of the Six Paths billowed in the wind, and Yuyi Xuan Yue lifted his head to look at Uchiha Madara, his face filled with disbelief. A faint smile played on Yuyi Xuan Yue's lips as he said,
"An impressive dance, would you like to continue?"
Uchiha Madara's face darkened, and without a word, he and his Limbo: Border Jail clone launched another assault.
Yuyi Xuan Yue watched as Uchiha Madara attacked once more, his smile unwavering. He extended his left hand into the void.
The golden-papered Ohnusa appeared once more.
The Heavenly Great God's Decree, which affected the entire planet, had a duration of only one minute, after which it entered a cooldown period.
Having entangled with Uchiha Madara and Kaguya Otsutsuki for so long, the cooldown period had passed, and Yuyi Xuan Yue once again employed his Rinnegan technique.
"I hereby declare... that movement is forbidden in this place!"
As his words landed, the golden paper on the Ohnusa began to burn.
Uchiha Madara suddenly found himself unable to move.
Not only him but his Limbo: Border Jail clone as well.
Thus, the three of them stood rooted to the spot, unable to budge.
However, in the next instant, a dazzling ninja art brilliance erupted from Yuyi Xuan Yue's body.
"Control All Paths."
Yuyi Xuan Yue's authoritative voice resounded.
Time flew by.
The Konoha sightseeing group marched valiantly and solemnly toward the light of the ninja art.
But when they arrived, they witnessed a bizarre scene.
Three figures, clad in identical white robes adorned with the Magatama, stood motionless, with only their ninja arts clashing relentlessly between them.
"Yuyi Xuan Yue!"
Naruto immediately spotted Yuyi Xuan Yue and was about to rush forward.
Suddenly...
Jiraiya and the others were about to take a step forward when their legs suddenly froze, and no matter how hard they struggled, they couldn't move.
"Don't come any closer!"
Having experienced this once before, Naruto immediately recognized what was happening and hurried to warn the others.
Jiraiya and the rest quickly halted upon hearing his warning.
Through Naruto's explanation, they learned that the very same Ten Tail's Will that had caused chaos with the sealing scroll and the tailed beasts was responsible for their current predicament.
"Even the caster is affected?" Hatake Kakashi asked, his expression grave as he turned to look at Yuyi Xuan Yue, with whom he had a brief encounter.
Tsunade, on the other hand, having met Yuyi Xuan Yue several times, scrutinized him intently before calling out, "So it's you, you scoundrel!" Her voice rang out as she recognized him without a doubt.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had been well aware of the arrival of the Konoha group but didn't pay them much mind. Hearing Tsunade's shout, he merely nodded casually in acknowledgment.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Tsunade couldn't help but think of what she had witnessed and experienced so far. "You! Is this what you call saving the ninja world?" she exclaimed.
Finally, Yuyi Xuan Yue deigned to respond: "Of course, it is to save the ninja world."
The two individuals they faced, one intending to turn all life on the planet into nourishment for himself and the other an extremist whose lifelong pursuit had just been shattered—who knew what extreme actions they might take next?
As for the Sage of Six Paths, that old Voldemort!
Haunting the ninja world for a millennium, he suppressed any promising successors who might threaten his position, fearing they would shake the foundation of his power.
Such a person, ignoring the millennia of bloodshed in the ninja world, was a parasite on the community. For the future of the ninja world, he, too, had to be eliminated.
Compared to these individuals, Yuyi Xuan Yue considered himself the most rational.
The wheels of history turned relentlessly forward.
Now that he had become a leader of the new era, Yuyi Xuan Yue felt obligated to remove these dangerous elements alongside the others.
At that moment, after hearing Yuyi Xuan Yue's words and witnessing the current situation, Tsunade suddenly felt a glimmer of understanding.
Indeed, after Yuyi Xuan Yue had defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki and that other vaguely familiar fellow, the great war had ended, and peace had come to the ninja world.
As for Yuyi Xuan Yue himself, Tsunade watched as a casual display of his power sent warning bells ringing in her head. Looking at her own group of ninjas, she wondered how long they could last against Yuyi Xuan Yue's onslaught of techniques.
Regardless of his intentions, with such a vast power gap, he wouldn't be able to cause much more destruction to the ninja world.
Viewed in this light, things didn't seem so bad after all.
At this moment, not only Tsunade but also Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, and the others realized the immense gap between their powers.
If their understanding of chakra manipulation was merely at the level of technique, the three individuals before them had reached a level akin to enlightenment, effortlessly weaving chakra manipulation into their very being, requiring no hand seals to perform even the most complex jutsu.
For a time, the only sound was the relentless clashing of jutsu between the three motionless figures, shrouded in silence.
Then, Jiraiya noticed something. "Hey, isn't that Uchiha Madara?"
Uchiha Madara?
Compared to Yuyi Xuan Yue, the name Uchiha Madara was one that the Konoha ninjas had heard countless times since their childhood.
Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others subconsciously looked in the direction Jiraiya was pointing.
Indeed, it was the same person as the statue in the Valley of the End.
Come to think of it, why was Uchiha Madara, who was supposed to have been killed by the First Hokage in the Valley of the End, here?
The scrutinized Uchiha Madara let out a cold huff. If not for his current inability to move, he would have squashed these insignificant Konoha insects like the ants they resembled to him.
However, his current situation was far from ideal!
