The aura of Susanoo shifted, and its eyes transformed into the same Rinnegan as the Sage of Six Paths.
"You are the child called Madara, aren't you?" The Sage of Six Paths looked over with a loving gaze. "You were once chosen by Indra. What a pity."
"Indra? The progenitor of the Uchiha clan?" Madara didn't fully understand the Sage's cryptic words.
"Indra is my eldest son," the Sage of Six Paths sighed. "The chakra of my eldest son, Indra, and my second son, Asura, has been continuously reincarnating. Their conflict has never ceased."
"Oh? During my lifetime, the only shinobi on par with me was Hashirama. So, he was the one chosen by Asura's chakra?" Madara replied without hesitation.
The Sage of Six Paths did not deny it.
In the illusory space, Kaito clicked his tongue. "What I saw before was indeed correct. Sasuke and Naruto must be in the same situation now. I only noticed some connection between them, but I didn't expect the truth to be like this. Ah, now that I think about it, no wonder both Madara and Hashirama, as well as Sasuke and Naruto, are bound by fate..."
"Hmph!"
Izuna's face darkened, and his fear of the Sage of Six Paths was completely thrown to the wind. "Madara is Madara, not some reincarnation of someone else! That trash, Hashirama, wants to be my brother's sibling? Impossible!"
Madara looked directly at the Sage of Six Paths and spoke bluntly, "Those are meaningless matters. I am Madara, not a symbol representing someone else. Do you think calling me a reincarnation can erase the life I, Uchiha Madara, have lived?"
"Of course, no one will erase the life of Uchiha Madara," the Sage of Six Paths replied, still calm and composed. He glanced up at Enma. "Have you made a decision about Enma?"
At this moment, Susanoo and the Sage of Six Paths were floating at the level of Enma's chest. Hearing the question, Madara also looked up and gave his answer: "The power of Enma belongs to Kaito."
The Sage of Six Paths shook his head. "Do you know that the rules of the Pure Land are incomplete? Currently, the souls of shinobi cannot be directly reincarnated. The power of Enma should be used to fulfill its proper role in the Pure Land, to complete the incomplete reincarnation
."
"We can achieve that too," Madara sneered.
The Sage of Six Paths sighed helplessly and raised his staff.
"I will not take action myself. I will only find some helpers to stop you."
Illusory tomoe flew out from the staff, rapidly growing in size and embedding themselves into the iron lanterns of evil spirit that had been lit earlier on both sides of the hall.
*Hum...*
All the iron lanterns began to emit a white light.
*Crack... crack... crack...*
The iron lanterns started to move. Their eyes rotated, their mouths split open, and their twisted limbs seemed to come to life in an instant. They even began to let out sad howls.
The "Iron Lanterns of Evil Spirit" had transformed into "Iron Demon Lanterns."
"Ah..."
The nearest few iron demon lanterns had already surrounded them.
"What powerful Yin-Yang Release!" Madara controlled Susanoo to rapidly grow in size, punching away one of the iron demon lanterns. "To instantly bestow life upon so many inanimate objects."
"Ah!!! Ah!! Ah..."
More Iron Demon lanterns surrounded them, their twisted limbs flailing wildly, the burning wicks spitting out flames as they relentlessly attacked Susanoo.
"Although there are many of them, trash is still trash!"
Madara manipulated Susanoo to execute flawless taijutsu, moving through the encirclement as if it were an uninhabited land, weaving back and forth with no one able to stop him.
But the Iron Demon lanterns were numerous, seemingly endless.
"Hurry, Senior Madara, the Sage of Six Paths has entered the array."
"Tch." Susanoo extended its hands. "Shinra Tensei!!!"
The surrounding Iron Demon lanterns were blown away, and Susanoo leaped high into the air, spreading its wings and flying toward the Sage of Six Paths.
The tengu warrior with wings spread flew through the air, while below, the relentless Iron Demon lanterns chased after it, occasionally spitting fireballs from their burning wicks toward the sky.
Madara skillfully maneuvered Susanoo through the air. In the distance, the Sage of Six Paths, whose size was now vastly different from Susanoo's, floated above the moon pattern in the center of the array.
"The Box of Ultimate Bliss was once a tool in my hands," he said with a compassion smile. "Summoning Jutsu!"
*Boom!*
White smoke rose, and the Box of Ultimate Bliss reappeared in the spot where it had vanished earlier.
"Damn it!"
In the illusory space, Kaito frowned, clearly annoyed. "I actually didn't think of this..."
"Stop complaining!" Madara's voice rang out. "Let's go!"
Susanoo manifested a long sword in each hand, wielding the massive blades to slash at the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of Six Paths remained seated in the air, calmly looking up at the enormous blades descending toward him.
Just as the blades were about to reach his head, he casually raised his staff.
*Crack!*
The massive blades in Susanoo's hands instantly shattered.
"What is that?" Madara, controlling Susanoo, dodged a few fireballs spat out by the Iron Demon lanterns and soared into the air again.
Madara used Susanoo's eyes, enhanced by the Rinnegan, to carefully observe the black staff in the Sage of Six Paths's hands.
Kaito and Izuna infused their ocular power into the array.
"Are you curious?"
The Sage of Six Paths shook the black staff in his hand, which had sun and moon designs on either end. The staff suddenly melted and shrink, transforming into a black orb that floated in his palm.
"This is the Truth-Seeking Ball. It contains the power of all Yin-Yang and the five elements."
"All Yin-Yang and the five elements!" Madara was stunned. "That is a power beyond Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta."
"Correct. It is a technique formed by combining all seven chakra nature transformations. It can be called Kekkei Mōra."
As the Sage of Six Paths spoke, he floated to the center of the array and landed on the ground.
*Hum...*
A deep gray color spread from his feet, slowly erosion the blue spiritual light of the array beneath him.
"This is bad. He's using the aura of the Pure Land to seize control of my array!" Kaito took a deep breath. "Fortunately, we're hiding inside Susanoo, and Susanoo's construction incorporates my spiritual energy and Ryūmyaku's power. Otherwise, your souls, which have already been tainted by the Pure Land's aura, would definitely be under the Sage of Six Paths's control."
"Why are you saying this now? Enma is about to be taken away!" Izuna was frantic.
"Damn it!"
Madara tried several times, but every time he got close to the Sage of Six Paths, he was blocked by the Truth-Seeking Ball, which transformed into various shapes. He didn't dare touch the thing and was forced to retreat.
"I'm ready," Kaito in the illusory space closed his eyes, and the array beneath him began to rotate. "Now it's my turn. It's time to reveal the final backup plan."
"Huh? You still have a trump card?" Izuna was astonished.
"Of course," Kaito's voice echoed in the space. "Preparing multiple backup plans is my habit."
"Good habit. You must keep it up."
At this moment, Susanoo's eyes transformed again, this time into the five-pointed star pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Honestly, it took me a while to recall the spatial coordinates where this thing was stored," Kaito's voice came through. "But I finally remembered."
Susanoo crouched and slapped the ground, and spiritual energy rapidly and automatically formed a massive array.
"Come forth! The largest Ryūmyaku Crystal!!!"
*Boom!!!*
White smoke dispersed.
Glistening and radiant, an enormous Ryūmyaku Crystal was barely held in Susanoo's arms.
