Chapter 783: Encounter with Six Paths Moonbath, Unable to Win Even with All Efforts
"So, this is the Infinite Tsukuyomi. It's truly astonishing."
As the world instantly transformed from night to day, everyone within the barrier was filled with astonishment.
"If this genjutsu's range is indeed the entire Ninja World as Madara said, it's going to be quite a challenge to dispel it," said Adult Kakashi, gazing at the sleeping ninjas outside the barrier.
The simplest way to dispel a genjutsu is to disrupt the chakra, but expanding the range to cover the entire Ninja World is no easy task.
"Every jutsu has a corresponding countermeasure. There should be a way to directly break this technique and awaken everyone," said Senju Tobirama as he attempted to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to investigate the Infinite Tsukuyomi outside, only to find it ineffective.
"This barrier can isolate space, rendering normal space-time ninjutsu useless," explained Moonbath.
The Heavenly Sphere Barrier could block the Infinite Tsukuyomi due to its exceptional isolation capability.
Although it appeared as if they were still in the same space as those outside, they had already been separated by the barrier.
"Additionally, I've already figured out how to break the Infinite Tsukuyomi," Moonbath said, having learned the method from the Sage of Six Paths in Purgatory.
Of course, even without the Sage's teachings, Moonbath already knew how to break it, as he had, after all, read the script.
"Breaking the Infinite Tsukuyomi isn't difficult. It just requires a person with the power of all the Tailed Beasts to form the 'Child' seal with someone who possesses the Rinnegan to dispel it."
"The power of all the Tailed Beasts and the Rinnegan? That's not a problem, is it?" Senju Tobirama's lips twitched.
However, he had to admit that coming from the enigmatic and powerful Moonbath, this statement held some weight.
"The Rinnegan and the power of the Tailed Beasts? Then, Teacher Moonbath, you and Nagato can just dispel it, right?" asked Dai Tu, scratching his head.
"It's pointless to dispel it without defeating Uchiha Madara. He can just cast it again," Six Paths Madara sighed.
Moonbath nodded in agreement.
Just then, Moonbath sensed something and waved his hand, opening a black spatial gate from which Yamato fell out.
Due to being possessed by White Zetsu, Yamato had not immediately fallen under the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"What...what's happening? Where am I?" Yamato asked, rubbing his head and looking at the sky in confusion.
He had been caught in a trap set by Orochimaru during the Turtle Island mission, and everything after that was a blur.
Bam! A precise hand blade struck Yamato's head, leaving him even more dazed than he already was.
"You're finally awake. You've been arrested for allegedly impersonating a Konoha ninja and maliciously fabricating important Konoha identification documents," Kakashi said sternly.
"Huh?" Yamato looked at the seventeen-year-old Kakashi in surprise, his heart racing as he thought he had crossed over to another world again.
"No, I'm a genuine Konoha ninja. I can explain about the identification documents," Yamato hurriedly clarified.
"Explaining is just a cover-up! I believe you're a spy from an enemy village. I suggest you spill the information now, or you'll face severe punishment," Dai Tu said gravely, standing next to Kakashi.
"Five hundred thousand ryo, and we can pretend nothing happened," said a voice that sounded remarkably similar to Kakashi's, but with a more mature and weathered tone.
Yamato trembled as he reached into his wallet, his heart filled with indignation at the corruption in this world's Konoha.
However, as he touched his wallet, his mind cleared, and he realized something was amiss. That last voice was too familiar.
Yamato quickly got up and saw Adult Kakashi with a delighted smile, Naruto trying hard to suppress his laughter, Hiruzen Sarutobi covering his forehead and shaking his head, and Moonbath with a faint smile.
"Senior Kakashi!" Yamato glared at Adult Kakashi, feeling resentful.
Not only did they not remind him, but they were also making fun of him!
"Bright Moon," Adult Kakashi looked up at the moon shining brightly in the sky.
"Haha! Yamato, were you really the captain of the Dark Unit, or did you become a squad leader and then claim to be the captain?" Dai Tu burst into laughter.
Naruto, who had been barely holding back, couldn't contain his laughter any longer.
However, Naruto still tried to help Yamato by explaining, "Yamato must have been the captain of the Dark Unit. After all, his Wood Style is quite impressive."
Yamato felt touched, thinking that his kindness towards Naruto had not been in vain.
"I see. So, you were promoted because of your rare Wood Style ability," Kakashi said with a look of realization.
Yamato: ...
The evil Kakashi-senpai has doubled!
"Don't pick on Captain Yamato."
Hinata stepped forward to stop him.
Yamato's heart warmed; as expected, the medical ninja's kindness was soothing.
"What if he becomes even more foolish?"
Yamato silently retracted his thoughts. After all, those who associate with darkness are tainted by it, and even the gentle Hinata was influenced.
With this, the atmosphere within the barrier instantly became more relaxed.
Six Paths Madara looked at the laughing Obito and Naruto, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes. He quietly took two steps back.
"As long as you, Obito, make amends for your mistakes, things will get better."
Adult Kakashi appeared beside Six Paths Madara at some point, patting him on the shoulder and whispering.
Six Paths Madara's sudden realization made him genuinely happy; it meant his "hero" had come back to life.
"Can I really make amends?"
Six Paths Madara looked at his hands and shook his head.
Even if a broken mirror is pieced back together, the cracks remain; he had already made too many mistakes.
Adult Kakashi was speechless and could only sigh.
He had no right to say anything about this; could he possibly forgive Six Paths Madara on behalf of the deceased?
"Who is this person who can set up a barrier that even Infinite Tsukuyomi can't penetrate?"
Kurotsuchi emerged from the ground, his head poking out, perplexed.
"But Infinite Tsukuyomi has succeeded. Mother will be resurrected soon, and no matter who it is, they can't possibly be her match."
Kurotsuchi began to ponder how to share his innermost thoughts with Uchiha Sasuke.
The resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki was just one step away; he would possess Uchiha Sasuke and perform the resurrection technique.
"The light is fading; it should be ending."
Senju Tobirama noticed the changes in the environment outside the barrier.
Everyone looked outside, and as time passed, the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi gradually faded, turning day into night. Infinite Tsukuyomi was over.
"Let's go, Sasuke, Obito, and Madara. We'll go beat up Uchiha Sasuke, that big jerk, with Moonlit Immortal."
Naruto clenched his fists in anticipation.
After being saved by Moonlit Immortal, he felt much stronger and believed he could be of help.
Six Paths Madara: ?
This brat isn't even eighteen and he's calling me his older brother.
"It's better than being called a jerk."
Adult Kakashi consoled him.
He's also been called a pathetic old man.
"Do we need others? With Moonlit Immortal, we can easily defeat Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke crossed his arms and spoke with cold arrogance.
After obtaining the Yin power, he awakened a Six-Tomoe Rinnegan, and his abilities matched that of the Fusion Ninja, Minazuo. Both possessed the Heavenly Hand Force.
"You all should rest for now; you'll have your chance to fight later."
Moonlit Immortal shook his head, waved his hand to retrieve the Sage Stone, and dispelled the barrier. He turned his attention to the descending Uchiha Sasuke.
"Who are you? Why are you interfering with everyone's happiness?"
Uchiha Sasuke landed in front of Moonlit Immortal and asked sternly.
Previously, he couldn't use Wheel Tomb Hell Cage, but now, with the technique cooled down and Infinite Tsukuyomi completed, he was not at a disadvantage against this mysterious ninja.
"Happiness? If you think they're happy, why don't you let the God Tree hang you and put you under a genjutsu?"
Obito couldn't hold back his rebuttal.
"Only I can lead them forward."
Uchiha Sasuke spoke without changing his expression.
"You..."
Obito wanted to say something more, but Moonlit Immortal interrupted him.
Moonlit Immortal understood that words would be useless against Uchiha Sasuke, who was deeply entangled in Kurotsuchi's fabricated lies. Only a tangible defeat could awaken him.
Bang!
A Wheel Grave Clone rushed towards Moonlit Immortal but was easily dodged.
"Golden eyes, what kind of dojutsu is this? Can he see directly through it?"
Uchiha Sasuke analyzed Moonlit Immortal's abilities in his mind.
"Day Breath Chakra Mode!"
Moonlit Immortal focused on his breathing, and the golden-red chakra on his body became even more dazzling.
Whoosh!
Moonlit Immortal activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and appeared behind Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sage Technique: Spiral Rasengan - Blue Flame!"
Moonlit Immortal raised a blue-gold fireball and slammed it into Uchiha Sasuke's back.
During their first encounter, Moonlit Immortal had marked Uchiha Sasuke with his Flying Thunder God Seal.
Boom! Boom!
A blinding fire engulfed Uchiha Sasuke, and an indescribable burning pain seared through his back, reaching his very soul.
"Damn it, it's Tobirama's ninjutsu..."
Uchiha Sasuke's expression turned grim, and he quickly activated the Wheel Tomb Hell Cage, allowing one of the Wheel Grave Clones to bear the brunt of the ninjutsu for him.
Even so, Uchiha Sasuke faintly sensed that burning sensation.
"What kind of Fire Release is this? It's so powerful!"
Uchiha Sasuke's face grew solemn.
What he didn't know was that Moonbath Leader's seemingly simple move not only contained Six Paths Sage Power but was also empowered by the Day Breath Sage Technique. Moreover, the Blue Flame itself was an exceptionally powerful Fire Release technique on par with the No-Mind Sword.
"Divine Technique: Yin Style Lightning Partition!"
Uchiha Sasuke wasn't one to take a beating, so he gathered a massive amount of chakra, and his palms erupted with terrifying lightning.
"Shomonbikan!"
Moonbath Leader flew straight at Uchiha Sasuke, and just as the lightning was about to touch his body, he used his eye technique to shrink the lightning out of existence.
"Again, what kind of technique is this?"
Uchiha Sasuke furrowed his brows, unwilling to let Moonbath Leader close the distance easily. He controlled the other three Wheel Grave Clones to attack Moonbath Leader while staying vigilant about his surroundings.
The Flying Thunder God Technique's speed wasn't exceptionally fast among Six Paths users, and with proper precautions, it was unlikely to land a hit.
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
Moonbath Leader created three shadow clones, each grabbing a Wheel Grave Clone and using a sealing technique to immobilize them.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
Uchiha Sasuke swiftly shot the Sage Stones around him at Moonbath Leader.
Moonbath Leader continued to use his eye technique, shrinking the Sage Stones until they disappeared.
"Such powerful suppression."
Senju Tobirama and the others were surprised by the one-sided situation.
Whether it was Uchiha Sasuke's eye technique, Six Paths Sage Techniques, or anything else, none of it worked on Moonbath Leader. Yet, Moonbath Leader's moves seemed to be effortlessly effective against Uchiha Sasuke.
"So, this is the Moonlit Immortal!"
Dai Tu smirked triumphantly.
"Impossible! I've completed everything written on the stone tablet, so how can someone be stronger than me?"
Seeing that all his methods were ineffective, Uchiha Sasuke felt utterly frustrated.
"Wait, there's still taijutsu!"
An idea flashed through Uchiha Sasuke's mind. He stopped dodging and instead used a massive amount of chakra to enhance his physical body, charging towards Moonbath Leader.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The fists, imbued with an enormous amount of chakra, were incredibly powerful. Uchiha Sasuke merely swung his fist, and it generated a terrifying whirlwind.
Moonbath Leader neither dodged nor evaded, calmly watching Uchiha Sasuke as his fist came crashing down.
Three feet, one foot, five inches...
Finally, Uchiha Sasuke's fist stopped just two centimeters away from Moonbath Leader, unable to advance further no matter how much chakra he used.
This distance, so close yet so far away.
"What is this?"
Uchiha Sasuke wanted to stop and figure out how to counter Moonbath Leader's strange abilities, but he didn't have the time.
In the instant his attack failed, Uchiha Sasuke immediately tried to retreat.
But Moonbath Leader wasn't going to let him off easily.
"Divine Technique: Unrestricted Technique - Blue!"
Moonbath Leader extended his palm, using the Unrestricted Technique to create a gravity sphere between himself and Uchiha Sasuke. The powerful suction caused Uchiha Sasuke's movements to stall, missing the best opportunity to retreat.
"No-Mind—"
Moonbath Leader grasped the Sage Stone that had transformed into a black katana and infused it with an incredibly powerful Six Paths Sage Technique chakra.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Purple lightning enveloped the black katana, turning it purple. The arcs of electricity shooting from the blade struck the ground, instantly creating a large patch of charred earth, as if a thunderbolt had fallen.
Boom! Boom!
The mighty thunderous force caused dark clouds to gather in the sky, and even the crimson giant moon was obscured.
"One Sword!"
Moonbath Leader suddenly swung the purple katana, and a purple electric light shot out at incredible speed.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand to block with a Six Paths Sage Technique.
Crack!
Everything in the path of the lightning slash was instantly shattered.
In that moment, Uchiha Sasuke realized something—there were differences in the Six Paths Sage Techniques.
Not having trained in the Sage Techniques, he was at a disadvantage.
Boom!
A loud explosion sounded, and Uchiha Sasuke's upper and lower body separated, while a massive chasm appeared on the battlefield, its edges beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"So, Moonbath Leader had been holding back all this time."
Kakashi gazed at the chasm filled with lightning, feeling that Moonbath Leader had been too kind.
If he had used this during the siege of the Ninja Academy by the four great ninja villages, Ohnoki and the others would have been terrified.
"Such lightning..."
Sasuke's expression turned thoughtful. Moonbath Leader's strength was overwhelming and might affect his plans.
Kurotsuchi witnessed this scene and silently moved underground to intercept.
He couldn't afford to waste the opportunity with Uchiha Sasuke injured; he had to quickly win him over.
