Chapter 286: Kenji
Six Paths Level Power!
Uchiha Madara originally didn't believe in such a thing at all. He had never seen a ninja whose power was above his and Senju Hashirama's.
But the name "Six Paths Level" still stuck in his memory because legend had it that the power of chakra was passed down by the Sage of Six Paths.
And the Six Paths Level that the arrogant host mentioned probably meant this.
A person possessing this kind of power would be on the same level as the legendary Sage of Six Paths who founded Ninshu.
That was a power he hadn't seen even after obtaining a piece of Senju Hashirama's flesh, transplanting cells, researching and cultivating for many years, and finally awakening the Rinnegan.
No, Uchiha Madara thought, perhaps it was because he obtained those eyes too late. Although he had glimpsed a trace of a higher realm, he had no time to study it.
In a flash of thought, an extremely intense Yin Release chakra suddenly surged within his body. The strength of that chakra was almost beyond what human ninjas could possess.
Even with Uchiha Madara's knowledge, only a few people like Senju Hashirama could possess such chakra.
He felt his body surface almost instantly enveloped by that intense Yin Release chakra. Compared to Yang Release chakra which had a greater impact on physical energy, this Yin Release chakra had a greater effect on the human body's spiritual energy.
Uchiha Madara felt that this coincidence was seemingly destined by heaven. Just as he felt that this body lacked chakra and the refining speed wasn't fast enough, a massive amount of Yin Release chakra surged within him.
This not only gave this top powerhouse of the Uchiha clan the ability to act arbitrarily in an instant but also allowed him to refine even more chakra using his stronger spiritual energy and this body's life energy which far surpassed everyone else.
If there was enough time, if he could fully control this body, perhaps achieving a chakra volume as vast as the sea like the Senju clan would be entirely possible!
The black barrier shattered from all around. In the sky, the brilliant Golden Erdtree had extended to everywhere the eye could see.
Golden glow drifted down from the sky like ashes after a volcanic eruption. This scene made Uchiha Madara feel slightly uncomfortable. This world, which should have been familiar, had instantly turned into another appearance.
Amidst the trembling of his Sharingan, he quickly captured the guy ahead who had severed this body's right hand with a single Truth-Seeking Ball strike.
Uchiha Madara's pupils shrank. Although the newcomer was covered in cracks, his right shoulder was already incomplete, his head was shattered a bit, and his body seemed to be made of mud...
But that red armor, the Konoha forehead protector, and that long flowing hair.
"Senju... Hashirama..."
He quickly denied his judgment. That definitely couldn't be Senju Hashirama. Probably something occupied the body of the Edo Tensei Senju Hashirama!
Senju Hashirama had never mastered any Six Paths Level power.
Uchiha Madara's expression darkened. Controlling Kaito Shirogane's body, the temperament he revealed was completely different from Gojo Satoru's arrogant frivolity.
He was arrogant, but more cold and reserved, disdaining to speak to enemies he looked down upon.
"Whoever you are, I advise you to leave that guy's remains immediately."
As arrogant as Uchiha Madara was towards the weak, he was equally respectful towards his lifelong rival Senju Hashirama. They were enemies and friends, their bond even surpassing that of biological brothers.
With a sigh, Otsutsuki Hagoromo separated from Senju Hashirama's broken Edo Tensei body.
Not to mention that the Edo Tensei body inherently had limited abilities and couldn't truly unleash the power of the Sage Body, even if it could barely work, Senju Hashirama's current state was too forced.
The Edo Tensei body was covered by Scarlet Rot. The intense Yang Release chakra instead became dry wood for the Scarlet Rot, constantly circulating in birth and destruction.
With the departure of the Sage of Six Paths' soul and power, Senju Hashirama's broken Edo Tensei body quickly decayed and fell to the ground.
Watching this scene, Uchiha Madara's face looked even worse.
Pfft!
At this moment, Uchiha Obito, suffering brain damage from the massive amount of information forcibly injected by [Unlimited Void], still stood in place. Blood began to spray from the slightly torn neck.
If there was no external intervention, perhaps even possessing the top-tier Mangekyō ability [Kamui], he would have been instantly killed by Gojo Satoru here.
But a strong Yang Release chakra instantly surged into his body with Otsutsuki Hagoromo's move.
The Sage of Six Paths didn't have much choice. If he wanted to act, he had to borrow the power of other strong individuals.
And here at this moment, there were only a few people who could threaten Mercenary Tao and the monster born from the meteor.
Uchiha Madara looked back at Uchiha Obito, whom he had selected and cultivated.
Whether it was ambition or combat wisdom, the other party disappointed him. The only commendable thing was that intense emotion. For the Uchiha clan, the talent for awakening eyes and pupil power surpassed talent in ninjutsu to some extent.
Watching the torn wound on Obito's neck begin to heal, Uchiha Madara knew that the power and will that just resided in Hashirama's Edo Tensei body now stood on Obito's side.
He lowered his eyelids, the corners of his mouth pulling into a mocking arc.
Obito suddenly felt warm power entering his body. That was power far exceeding Hashirama cells, so much so that his body began to heal in an instant.
Not only the laceration on his neck, but even the chaos in his brain disappeared.
He turned his head and saw only an old man wearing a white haori standing beside him.
The other party pressed a hand on his shoulder. Intense Yang Release chakra and Yin Release chakra entered his body simultaneously and continuously.
Obito suddenly felt his eyes swelling. His talent in "awakening eyes" was already outstanding. At this moment, that power circulated in his eyes.
Suddenly, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had turned into purple pupils with concentric circles.
Rinnegan!
The Sage of Six Paths forcibly injected another stream of chakra into Uchiha Obito, who only had Hashirama cells, and helped fuse this power, catalyzing the symbol of the Otsutsuki clan's power—the Rinnegan.
Seeing this scene, Uchiha Madara raised his eyes slightly, but he still didn't make a move. He just stood there, watching Uchiha Obito recover from all injuries, then activate the Rinnegan, seemingly adapting to this power at this moment.
"Obito, have you forgotten my teachings?"
"Power that cannot be freely mastered is not power."
He seemed to still be that old Uchiha Madara teaching the young Obito.
But Uchiha Obito gently stroked his eyes. These were the Eyes of God. He possessed the same eyes as Uchiha Madara...
These were the eyes capable of activating the Infinite Tsukuyomi and truly deciding the future direction of the world.
He unconsciously looked at Mercenary Tao ahead, who had lost an arm but still looked at him with a disdainful gaze with that single Sharingan. inside the opponent's body was probably Uchiha Madara right now.
But...
"Can the current you still preach to me?"
Uchiha Obito wasn't loyal to Uchiha Madara. He knew very well that Uchiha Madara was using him, but likewise, he was also using Uchiha Madara.
Just for power, and wanting to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, he chose to follow Madara's plan.
But now, true power was in his hands. The once invincible Uchiha Madara revived in Mercenary Tao's body, yet hadn't even retrieved his eyes now.
"Look at my eyes, Uchiha Madara. The Eyes of God are in my eyes..."
Looking at Obito who indeed betrayed him, Uchiha Madara wasn't disappointed. Instead, he laughed loudly again.
"Obito, do you know? You actually lack one thing."
"Lack something?"
Uchiha Obito felt that now that he had obtained the Rinnegan, he couldn't possibly be lacking.
Uchiha Madara was even more disdainful.
"What you lack is wisdom."
"Just using a girl's life made you despair of the world completely. Heh, really... simple."
Uchiha Obito looked at that Sharingan. The scenes of Rin's death appeared before his eyes again, but this time, Madara's figure was added.
The other party controlled the Hidden Mist ninjas, step by step facilitating the fact that Rin became a Jinchūriki and was eventually killed by Kakashi.
"Ah!"
Uchiha Obito's anger reached its peak. Unable to bear it any longer, he vanished instantly.
Uchiha Madara, however, revealed a smile of having everything under control.
Eyes of God, aren't they coming right now...
