A faintly interested smile played on Asura's lips as he slowly met Yuto's gaze from the bottom of the deep pit.
Yuto's expression was grim as he forcefully pressed his feet down.
In the next instant, using the surrounding walls as leverage, his body shot upwards.
In just a few breaths, he was back on solid ground.
"No wonder you survived that blow. It turns out you've mastered Sage Jutsu," Asura said, looking Yuto over seriously, an eyebrow arching in surprise.
Not only did he know of the Six Paths Power, but he had also mastered the power of Senjutsu.
Asura's demeanor grew more serious.
"As one from a later era, to push my reincarnated body to this extent, you are impressive. But to me, you are still too weak. Do you desire true power?" Asura asked, a faint smile on his face as he looked at Yuto.
At the same time, a terrifyingly powerful aura erupted from his body, spreading outwards.
A vast amount of Chakra enveloped Asura's entire form, creating a special, pale-golden light.
In this moment, the immense power of the Six Paths was undoubtedly on display!
Feeling the immense pressure washing over him from Asura, Yuto showed no sign of tension.
Instead, a smirk spread across his face.
He clenched his fists, and the sound of grinding bone echoed from his hands.
"That last hit really hurt," Yuto muttered. "The Six Paths Power? I was just wondering about the gap between my current strength and this power."
"Some old-timer who's been dead for who knows how long, I don't care what your purpose is! You dared to disrupt my plans!"
"I'll kill you!!"
Yuto's lips split into a grin, his voice brimming with undisguised killing intent.
Hearing Yuto's murderous words, Asura couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
To know he possessed such terrifying power and still dare to speak like that!
"An ignorant ant. Let me show you the gap between us," Asura's face darkened, though his voice remained calm.
"I'd love to see you try!" Yuto sneered, stomping his foot on the ground and rapidly retreating backward.
In the next instant, a Truth-Seeking Ball materialized in the spot Yuto had just been occupying.
As he retreated, a sharp glint flashed in Yuto's eyes.
Though he had spoken with such bravado, Yuto knew that a Six Paths-level power had suppressed his abilities to the extreme.
If that was the case!
The Sharingan in Yuto's eyes erupted with brilliant light.
A massive amount of ocular power and Chakra flowed into his eyes.
Complete Susanoo!
A colossal green Susanoo appeared behind Yuto, taking on the form of a war god.
At the same time, the armor on its back began to change visibly at a rapid pace, transforming into two wings.
The Susanoo flapped its wings forcefully, carrying Yuto into the sky.
With a thought, a massive amount of Senjutsu Chakra quickly gathered at the Susanoo's chest plate.
A sharp glint flashed in Yuto's eye as he commanded the Susanoo to open its arms.
Susanoo—Nine-Tails!!
A faint cracking sound echoed in the sky as the green Susanoo's chest plate burst open.
Countless green strands of Chakra condensed into a gigantic spiral sword.
This was the unique weapon of Shisui Uchiha's Susanoo.
The moment it formed, it turned into a green streak of light and shot towards Asura below.
The terrifying power and speed instantly crushed and cleared the air in front of the sword.
From Asura's Truth-Seeking Ball attack to Yuto dodging and launching this counter-attack, it had all happened in an instant.
Asura raised an eyebrow, watching the colossal spiral sword's attack with an emotionless face.
With a thought, the Truth-Seeking Ball that had attacked Yuto shot back to his side at lightning speed.
In a flash, the black Truth-Seeking Ball transformed into a defensive barrier like a black curtain, blocking Asura's front.
The spiral sword's attack landed at that moment.
The moment they collided, a terrifying explosion of power erupted outwards.
The spiral sword, infused with Senjutsu, paused for a moment against the Truth-Seeking Ball's defense before rapidly breaking through it.
"A good attack," Asura remarked, an eyebrow arching.
A black rod weapon had appeared in his hand at some point.
The next moment, Asura raised the rod and struck the spiral sword.
A muffled thud echoed through the air.
The gigantic spiral sword instantly shattered and dissipated in the air under Asura's blow.
On the other side, Yuto didn't stop after launching the spiral sword.
He commanded the Susanoo's giant wings to flap forcefully, and he reappeared behind Asura.
Seizing the moment Asura was blocking the sword, the ocular power in Yuto's Mangekyou Sharingan erupted once again.
Eight Trigrams Sealing Style!
A massive seal pattern, similar to the Sharingan design, appeared in the palm of the Susanoo's hand before being hurled forward.
Without even turning his head, Asura raised a hand and waved it casually.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a series of sharp sounds, three gigantic Eight Gates Barrier seals materialized behind Asura.
Under the defense of the three seals, the power of the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style was completely nullified.
After finishing this, Asura finally turned to look at the distant Yuto, his gaze icy.
"You can never comprehend the gap between us."
"To touch the principles of all things, to control all creation—this is the power of the Six Paths!"
With a thought, Asura shot into the air, rising to the same altitude as Yuto.
"While you are a strong man of this era, the moment you laid eyes on me, your fate was already sealed," Asura's indifferent voice echoed in Yuto's ears.
"Seal my fate? You're not qualified!" A rare excitement surfaced on Yuto's face.
It had been too long since he'd felt this sensation that made the hairs on his arms stand on end.
Whoosh!
Countless Chakra chains erupted wildly from Yuto's body.
In an instant, they had completely enveloped the colossal Susanoo.
At the same time, dense seals flickered on every single Chakra chain.
The power of the Black Emperor was also completely unleashed by Yuto, the sound of muffled thunder constantly ringing out around him.
The various energies permeating the air rapidly flowed into Yuto's body at an incredible speed.
