"Outer Path. Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique."
As the Outer Path ability was activated, a giant phantom of the King of Hell suddenly appeared beside Uchiha Madara and slowly opened its bloody maw.
"Mom, go inside," Ryun promptly instructed.
"O... okay..." Asuka was somewhat resistant and afraid of that bloody maw, but she knew her son would not harm her.
After she stepped inside, the King of Hell phantom snapped its mouth shut and began chewing loudly the next moment.
Ryun watched this scene but did nothing to stop it.
After a while, a purple light flashed in the King of Hell phantom's Rinnegan eyes. It then stopped chewing and spat out an unconscious figure from its mouth.
The cracks from the Impure World Reincarnation on Asuka's body had now completely disappeared. Her spiritual energy was not as strong as a shinobi's, so falling unconscious was normal under the circumstances.
Ryun quickly stepped forward to check on his mother's condition. When he sensed the normal vital signs within her, he could not help but shed tears of joy.
As he channeled some chakra into his mother's body, Asuka slowly opened her eyes the next moment.
"Mom... how are you feeling now?" Ryun wiped away his tears and hurriedly asked.
"Ryun..."
Asuka instinctively reached out to touch her son's cheek. Feeling the warmth of Ryun's cheek and the change in the skin of her own palm, Asuka's eyes widened instantly in disbelief.
"I... I really... came back to life?"
Bringing the dead back to life, her son could actually do it.
This was practically a miracle. She had been dead for over ten years.
"Yes, yes, you're alive. Mom, you must not think about doing something like that again so easily from now on," Ryun said with a smile, hugging her tightly.
"Okay, Mom won't be so foolish anymore..." Asuka shed tears of joy. After so many years, smelling her son's scent again, she couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The mother and son held each other for a while. Only when Uchiha Madara regained some strength did Ryun take Asuka's hand and lead her before him.
"Open your damn eyes and see clearly, who is the motherless child now?"
As these words left Ryun's mouth, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but turn his gaze towards Asuka, standing alive and well to the side.
The other party clearly possessed a Rinnegan, yet still used his own eyes to revive his mother. Uchiha Madara quickly guessed his intention.
The little brat he had once schemed against had grown into a formidable entity. Ryun had proven his failure with actions and personally destroyed his plans and his dignity.
This was an opponent a hundred times more troublesome than Hashirama. Back then, he had made a terrible move, resulting in creating such an incredible 'monster'.
Now, Uchiha Madara had nothing left to say. The victor becomes king, the loser a bandit. He admitted his defeat.
"Oh, I forgot your jaw was kicked off by me, so you can't speak. Then just stay put on the side. I'll deal with you properly after I finish this war..."
As Ryun spoke, he kicked him away. Uchiha Madara, like a ragged doll, slammed hard at the feet of the Divine Tree, rolling on the ground dozens of times before finally stopping.
Originally, Uchiha Madara's heart was filled with despair. However, Ryun's kick clearly gave him new hope.
Of course, Ryun knew exactly where Madara's hope lay. This so-called hope did not actually exist. Ryun wasn't done playing yet. He had sworn to make Uchiha Madara die badly. How could he let him off so easily now.
"Mom, the battle here isn't over yet. Let me send you to the Kamui dimension first," Ryun said with a smile.
"Okay," Asuka nodded, then stood on her toes to kiss his cheek and admonished, "Son, be careful."
The familiar maternal love made Ryun feel happiness and peace. He had indeed grown up, but Mom was still Mom.
"Yes, yes."
A spatial vortex appeared, and Asuka's figure instantly vanished.
After doing this, Ryun's gaze returned to Naruto and Sasuke, the Allied Shinobi Forces standing beside them, and the eight tailed beasts watching intently.
During the time Ryun was reviving his mother, all the capable fighters from the Allied Shinobi Forces had gathered here, including many familiar to Ryun.
'It seems Naruto has persuaded the nine tailed beasts...' Ryun instantly understood the current situation.
"Uncle Ryun, stop this. You have no chance of winning," Sasuke loudly urged.
"Uncle Ryun..." Naruto had just begun to try to persuade him when a large hand pressed against his cheek, pushing him aside.
Interrupted, Naruto was initially a little angry, but seeing it was the hot tempered Granny Tsunade, he instantly lost his temper.
"Brat, so many people have died in this battle. Can you stop now," Tsunade shouted angrily.
"Stop? Do you think you have a great chance of winning?" Ryun could not help but shake his head and laugh, the disdain on his face particularly evident.
"Anything can be discussed sitting down, Ryun. There is no need for us to come to blows," Sakumo Hatake, the commander of the allied forces, finally spoke.
"Fine. I do not want to fight either. Hand over your chakra to me, and have all the nations of the shinobi world submit to Otogakure. I can stop right now."
Ryun proposed a ceasefire condition that no one could accept.
"Ambitious bastard. Even at death's door, you still dare to boast shamelessly," some strong individuals from other countries shouted reprimands. They were actually afraid that Konoha would back down at the last moment, as almost all the capable fighters now were from Konoha.
"Hokage, there is nothing to discuss with this evil guy. Uchiha Ryun has committed numerous atrocities across the shinobi world. He is no longer a Konoha shinobi. I suggest we execute him on the spot," Danzo Shimura stepped forward to stir up trouble.
He had long been hoping for Ryun's death. Now that he finally saw an opportunity, he naturally did not want to see both sides lay down their arms.
"Heh. You old dog are quite good at jumping around. I am standing right here, waiting for you to come and execute me," Ryun said with a laugh, beckoning to him.
He had kicked and burst one of Danzo's kidneys before, and the other could only swallow his anger. Now, he dared to be insolent to him.
"Ryun, you are not planning to leave any way out for any of us," Sakumo Hatake sighed heavily. He knew this great battle was unavoidable.
No one would willingly offer up their chakra, nor would they submit to Otogakure. Such terms were simply unacceptable. Now, only fighting remained.
Fortunately, the nine tailed beasts were on the side of the Allied Shinobi Forces, and Konoha had Naruto and Sasuke, two Six Paths level experts. In Sakumo Hatake's view, the overall situation still gave them a great chance of winning.
