"Bastard, let him go!"
At the same time as he shouted, Uzumaki Naruto immediately entered Six Paths Sage Mode; even with Kurama in deep sleep, he could still control most of the Chakra in his body and use Six Paths Sage Art.
Swoosh!
Before the two from the Shell Organization could even open their mouths, Uchiha Sasuke had already used his Rinnegan Dojutsu, Amenotejikara!
He directly swapped the positions of his Kusanagi Sword and Victor, making Victor appear in his own arms. Seeing that the shackles on Victor's hands and feet hadn't been removed, he simply flung him backward, throwing him to Sai who had just caught up.
"Leave this to me and Naruto. You guys get Victor out of here!"
"Bastards, who told you you could take him! Hand Victor back!"
Seeing Victor snatched away, Demon charged at Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke in a fury.
His speed was so fast that both of them were visibly shocked; he was on them almost in an instant. If it were in the past, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke might not have been able to react in time, but now...
The black Truth-Seeking Orbs quickly flew to Uzumaki Naruto's hand, turning into a black staff that blocked the flying kick Demon launched at him.
Bam!
The tremendous force drove Naruto's feet deep into the ground, and he even felt his arm go slightly numb, shocking him inwardly: 'So heavy!'
Swoosh!
Uchiha Sasuke used Amenotejikara, appearing right behind Demon. A Chidori Blade flashed into his hand as he thrust toward Demon's back.
But just as Uchiha Sasuke formed that intention, his expression froze; a bloody hole suddenly opened in his body and a large amount of blood sprayed out.
"Sasuke!"
Seeing this, Uzumaki Naruto's expression changed drastically. He swung a punch at Demon in front of him, trying to help Sasuke out.
But before Naruto's fist could even be thrown, he was suddenly struck by an even stronger attack, sending him flying.
Boom boom boom!
Only after smashing through more than a dozen walls did Uzumaki Naruto finally come to a stop.
However, in that instant, Uchiha Sasuke still used Amenotejikara to dodge Demon's follow-up, reappearing at Uzumaki Naruto's side.
Seeing both of them injured by his ability, Demon immediately let out a mocking laugh. "Heh, you two idiots actually think you can lay a hand on me!"
Uzumaki Naruto shoved away the rubble on him and walked out from the shattered stone almost completely unscathed. He then came to Uchiha Sasuke's side, placed a hand on him, and asked, "Sasuke, did you figure out that last attack?"
"Not completely, but the spot where I was injured is exactly where I wanted to attack him... And you? Just now you were planning to go for his head, right..."
Uchiha Sasuke questioned him as he got to his feet. Very quickly, his wound was healed by Uzumaki Naruto; with Six Paths Sage Art and Yang Release, Uzumaki Naruto was the World's Number One Medical Ninja.
"Yeah. You mean reflection, right? Our attacks all got bounced back at us? But we didn't even hit him..."
After speaking, Uzumaki Naruto formed a Double-Handed Seal. "Let me probe him again. His own Chakra doesn't seem that strong... Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Bang bang bang bang...
Dozens of Shadow Clones appeared and simultaneously rushed at Demon and Boro of the Shell Organization.
Use Shadow Clones to test the enemy's ability, then let Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan pick out the weakness—that was the tacit understanding the two had built up over a long time.
"Hah!"
Bang bang bang bang...
The Shadow Clones attacked one after another, but before they could touch Demon, they were shattered again and again. They couldn't see the counterattacks at all; even Naruto's Perception in Six Paths Mode couldn't detect how Demon was striking back.
Moreover, Naruto also noticed that Demon couldn't even perceive some of the sneak attacks made by the Shadow Clones, yet he could still shatter those clones.
After watching for a moment, Uchiha Sasuke spoke with certainty. "Naruto, it's just as I suspected. This guy can reflect attacks even without conscious intent... and it seems like he can sense killing intent, or rather, any thought of attacking him will trigger a counterattack..."
The Sharingan's insight was unparalleled, and Uchiha Sasuke's perception was second only in the Ninja World. He quickly analyzed Demon's weakness.
Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto's expression tightened slightly. "That's a pain. Got any way to deal with it?"
"Take down the other one first. As for him, let's try a Sealing Technique! Cover me, Naruto!"
With that, Uchiha Sasuke directly used Amenotejikara to swap himself with one of Naruto's Shadow Clones, instantly appearing in front of Boro. Then he used Amenotejikara again, and the Kusanagi Sword returned to his hand.
This sudden switch not only startled Boro, but even the punch he had been throwing at Naruto's Shadow Clone ended up missing Uchiha Sasuke entirely.
He crouched, his whole body crackling with dazzling lightning, then his figure flickered. Uchiha Sasuke's blade swept past Boro's side in an instant, the razor-sharp Chidori Blade slicing Boro cleanly in two.
Back then, he had cut Six Paths Ban in half the exact same way!
After cutting Boro, Uchiha Sasuke didn't relax. He turned around and slightly widened his eyes.
Amaterasu!
Kagutsuchi!
"Blaze Release: Flame Thunder God!"
His Chakra was abundant, as if there were several Tailed Beasts sealed within him, and his Pupil Power had reached its peak. Now Uchiha Sasuke could wield his Pupil Techniques with total ease, directly controlling the flames of Amaterasu, splitting them into over a dozen Flame Blades that pierced through the two halves of Boro's body.
One of the Flame Blades happened to pierce Boro's life core, killing him instantly.
Feeling Boro's death, Demon roared in rage, "Hey, Boro, you useless trash, how'd you die?!"
Then Demon once again rushed at Uchiha Sasuke at high speed, but Uchiha Sasuke only gave him a glance and slipped away with Amenotejikara.
Now that he understood Demon's ability, Uchiha Sasuke wasn't about to let him have his way.
"All we need to do now is trap him. Naruto, don't let any thoughts of attacking him come to mind!"
"Right!"
Hearing this, Uzumaki Naruto also understood how to deal with the enemy in front of them.
He formed a Double-Handed Seal, and the Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him instantly transformed into black staffs that shot toward the front, back, left, and right of Demon. Since Naruto had no intent to attack Demon, the Truth-Seeking Orbs weren't reflected.
Bang bang bang bang!
The four Truth-Seeking Orbs stabbed into the ground around Demon, then immediately morphed and linked together.
Having once again fully mastered Six Paths Sage Art, the Truth-Seeking Orbs Uzumaki Naruto created were no longer so fragile, and Demon's strength only surpassed Jigen's—it was nowhere near Otsutsuki Isshiki's.
No matter how much Ten-tailed Chakra Jigen absorbed, he only approached Otsutsuki Isshiki infinitely; Uzumaki Naruto now was already firmly at the level of Six Paths.
"Damn it..."
Demon's face twisted with anger. Just as he reached out to snap the Truth-Seeking Orb in front of him, a spatial portal suddenly opened behind him. A hand shot out, grabbed Demon by the collar, and yanked him through.
"Jigen!?"
Seeing the spatial portal, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto's faces changed at the same time.
"Uchiha, Hokage, this won't end here. You're not going to win..."
As the portal was about to vanish, Jigen's voice came from within, and then it disappeared completely. From beginning to end, Jigen never showed himself.
After the portal faded, Uzumaki Naruto spoke. "Sasuke..."
"We can't chase them. We don't know how many more like that shorty are on the other side... But that guy's really weak right now, he hasn't recovered yet."
"Yeah. Then we should find where they're hiding, and gather the power of the Five Great Ninja Villages to take them down."
Uzumaki Naruto nodded as he spoke. Although there had been an opening just now, he also didn't recommend chasing after them; going alone with just the two of them was too risky.
