"Dad!"
"Seventh Hokage!"
"Naruto!"
"I got my heart pierced too?"
Seeing on the battlefield below, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki suddenly appeared and successfully ambushed Parallel World 6 Naruto, simultaneously swallowing both the Juubi and Kaguya.
Boruto and the others inside the floating barrier were also shocked.
Boruto, Kawaki, and adult Sasuke—all felt extreme anxiety in their hearts, unconsciously wanting to rush out to save Naruto.
Only at this moment did they understand.
Why Hashirama had just rushed out to save Parallel World 6 Madara without regard for his own safety. So this is what selfless struggle feels like.
Even though it was just another Parallel World 6 Naruto, if they really had to watch Naruto die, they absolutely couldn't bear it!
But at this moment, Parallel World 7 Naruto proactively stopped the three.
"Don't rush—I won't die that easily!"
Others might not know the vitality of Six Paths Naruto, but how could Naruto himself not know?
Just a pierced heart—that couldn't kill his younger self.
After all, there was no rampaging Juubi in his body, and Isshiki hadn't injected Yin-Yang Release invasion. He wouldn't die instantly just from a pierced heart.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
On the battlefield below, Isshiki's sudden attack immediately snapped everyone awake.
It wasn't that they weren't vigilant. After all, no one expected that even after Kaguya was defeated, there was still a powerful enemy lurking to ambush.
What normal enemy would dare ambush when seeing over a dozen skilled ninjas gathered together?
But with Isshiki's normal attack speed—second only to Night Guy—even if it wasn't a sneak attack, almost no one present could match this Six Paths-level value.
*WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!* *WHOOSH!*
Two Minatos, three Tobiramas—all activated Flying Thunder God Technique and instantly flashed to the sides of Parallel World 6 Naruto and Sasuke, forming a defensive wall for them.
"How's Naruto?"
"Naruto?"
Minato and Sasuke panicked. The latter hugged the severely injured Naruto. His Mangekyō Sharingan nearly couldn't spin.
"It's fine—I'm not dying yet!"
Naruto showed a slight bitter smile, answering nonchalantly.
Though there was blood foam at his mouth, though he was gravely wounded and his heart exploded, it was indeed as expected.
A wound this small wasn't fatal to Six Paths Naruto.
It should be known that Naruto with Six Paths power could instantly regrow Kakashi's eye and lock down Might Guy—who was almost certainly dead after activating the Death Gate.
The healing power of Six Paths Yang-attribute chakra could be said to be in the first echelon of the ninja world.
Though he didn't have the terrifying regeneration of a Juubi Jinchūriki, his self-healing ability was no less than Hashirama's Sage Mode.
As long as most of his body didn't explode at once, he could basically regenerate and repair it.
It just took a little longer.
Right now, visible to the naked eye, the blood hole in Six Paths Naruto's chest had stopped bleeding, and a large number of blood vessels began to emerge, coiling to repair, gradually weaving the outer shape of the heart, and rapidly fixing it...
"Good! Sasuke-kun, please protect Naruto. We'll hold off the enemy first and buy Naruto time to recover!"
Seeing Naruto safe, Minato breathed a sigh of relief.
No one knew Isshiki's terror better than Parallel World 4 Minato. He was a powerful enemy who once defeated Hashirama and Madara working together and nearly killed them both without using full power.
Originally, Isshiki's power was already extremely strong, and now he had gained the Juubi's power boost—unimaginably terrifying.
In this situation, Minato felt that even if everyone worked together, they might not be able to defeat Isshiki.
The only way was to hold the opponent off first.
After Six Paths Naruto recovered, gather all their strength to defeat Isshiki!
"Got it!"
Six Paths Sasuke didn't hesitate at all, immediately hugging Naruto, activating Susano'o, and quickly flying backward.
He wouldn't hesitate in a critical moment.
Moreover, he believed that with so many skilled ninjas from other dimensions cooperating, they could at least hold the enemy off temporarily, right?
"Everyone, be careful! This guy swallowed the Juubi—I'm afraid he'll be even harder to deal with!"
Parallel World 4 Minato warned loudly, his expression extremely serious.
Four Madaras and two Hashiramas also encircled from afar. Edo Tensei Hiruzen and young Obito didn't dare approach rashly.
In the sky.
Six Paths Nagato, who had just used a jutsu to dispel Infinite Tsukuyomi, also quickly flew down, joining the battle.
A total of fourteen super ninjas encircled the target Isshiki.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Isshiki floated in the air, silently savoring the explosive qualitative change in power.
Six Paths chakra solidified into a feathered cloak covering him. Horns grew on his head again, and six Truth-Seeking Balls floated behind him. Even a six-tomoe Rinnegan opened between his brows.
No doubt.
Relying on the Juubi's power, he had finally truly stepped into the Six Paths level!
Isshiki already had terrifying Six Paths-level values and mechanisms. The weaknesses he had were only low chakra quantity and the lifespan limit from imperfect reincarnation.
And now, these weaknesses were directly resolved after becoming the Juubi Jinchūriki.
Not only resolved, but it also gave him a terrifying boost!
After all, whether Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, or Dōjutsu—chakra quality and quantity were always the main determining factors of strength.
Just like the vast difference between Madara's Fire Release and an ordinary ninja's Fire Release.
The core was the difference in chakra quality and quantity, and Six Paths chakra was an explosive upgrade. Every ability activated with Six Paths chakra could be drastically enhanced.
Simply put, even if it was just Taijutsu, driven by Six Paths chakra, Isshiki's already terrifying Taijutsu value could rise and strengthen again.
Equivalent to the Eight Gates continuously activated.
Not to mention the Juubi Jinchūriki also had the near-immortal Immortal Body regeneration effect.
Isshiki, who had terrifying physical power enough to clash with Baryon Mode Naruto's hard hits, with this Immortal Body added, became even more terrifying.
"Hahaha!"
"Amazing!"
"Is this the Juubi's power? Kaguya, you bitch—all your power is finally mine!"
Isshiki laughed maniacally, with unprecedented arrogance and joy. At this moment, he felt invincible in the world, omnipotent!
"Madara, who is this guy?"
Edo Tensei Parallel World 6 Hashirama was the first to ask. After all, those from Parallel World 6's ninja world didn't know Isshiki at all.
"Ōtsutsuki Isshiki! He's from the same clan as Kaguya—both are extraterrestrial enemies!"
Parallel World 1 Hashirama immediately explained.
"Oh? Interesting—you actually know me?"
"No?"
"You're Senju Hashirama? Then who are you?"
"And Uchiha Madara? Four of them?"
"Wait..."
Isshiki spoke proudly, but quickly noticed something wrong.
Seeing the repeated human ninjas surrounding him, even Isshiki from the Ōtsutsuki clan felt a bit shocked and confused.
Occasionally, a few talented human ninjas appearing was understandable. But suddenly over a dozen quasi-Six Paths level, and all duplicates.
This was truly extraordinary!
'Clone Technique!'
'Just clones, just lowly human tricks...'
'Wait...'
'Inside that person's body? Bijuu aura?'
'No... This is the Juubi?!!'
Until Isshiki sensed the Kyuubi chakra in Parallel World 4 Minato's body and the Juubi chakra in Six Paths Nagato's body, Isshiki immediately raged.
"It's you!"
"You stole my precious Juubi!"
"You're courting death!"
Isshiki immediately locked overflowing killing intent on Six Paths Nagato.
After all, there couldn't be a third Juubi in the entire ninja world. He and Kaguya brought two young Juubi back then, so the Juubi in Six Paths Nagato's body must be his missing Juubi!
This damn human thief must be the one who stole his Juubi!
Damn it!
*WHOOSH!*
Isshiki instantly vanished from his spot, causing hidden space ripples, and suddenly assaulted Nagato!
His precious Juubi—he had to take it back!
"Nagato, careful!"
Minato shouted. Isshiki's speed was too fast. Except for Space-Time Ninjutsu, nothing could match his extreme speed.
Nagato had no time to dodge and could only block the attack.
He immediately extended a Truth-Seeking Ball shield in front of him and simultaneously exploded a super Chibaku Tensei, trying to repel all attacks.
But Six Paths Isshiki was too terrifying!
He actually shattered the Truth-Seeking Ball shield with one frontal punch, then withstood the super Chibaku Tensei attack, forcibly tearing through the repulsive force, and charged in front of Six Paths Nagato.
*BANG!*
Isshiki's punch shook heaven and earth, even more terrifying than Naruto's Asura no Ken and Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka. Half of Six Paths Nagato's body instantly exploded on the spot, even pulverizing flesh and blood into ash!
If he wasn't worried about killing the Juubi too, this attack from Isshiki could have directly obliterated and killed all of Nagato!
Even among the same Six Paths level, there were high and low differences.
Even without Juubi power, Isshiki could fight Six Paths Nagato alone. Now that he had gained the overall Juubi power boost, he was overwhelmingly destructive—no one could stop him!
After shattering Nagato's torso with one punch, Isshiki immediately reached out to grab Nagato's head.
He prepared to forcibly extract the Juubi from his body!
At the critical moment, Parallel World 4 Minato exerted his power, instantly activating Sukunahikona.
*SWISH!* *SWISH!* *SWISH!*
In an instant, hundreds of suddenly expanding black rods around shot toward Isshiki from all directions.
These black rods certainly weren't enough to kill Isshiki, or even pierce his skin, but it was enough to delay for a moment and buy time to save Nagato.
Sure enough, Isshiki was forced to defend, exploding most of the black rods, but he was also slightly confused, stunned for a moment.
Just now, Isshiki even thought his collectively shrunk black rods had rebelled!
But after carefully sensing, he realized all the black rods were attacks controlled by Minato!
"Your eyes! How can they be the same as my ability?"
"Is it a similar Dōjutsu?"
"No!"
"It's my Dōjutsu! How do you have it? This is impossible...!"
Isshiki was furious with shame. Though he didn't understand the reason, he was sure it was his own Black Eye.
First the Juubi was stolen, then his own Dōjutsu appeared on this lowly human ninja's body. Could this be tolerated?
Isshiki raged and directly attacked Minato, trying to dig out the other's eyes.
He wanted to see where the other got that Black Eye from!
But at the same time, before Isshiki succeeded, Parallel World 4 Minato with the remaining Parallel World 5 Nagato activated Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to the side of Edo Tensei Parallel World 6 himself in the distance.
With the name of Ninjutsu challenging Divine Techniques, the value of Flying Thunder God Technique kept rising!
But Six Paths Isshiki's extreme speed was still terrifying.
Minato had just landed—only in the blink of an eye.
The black light transformed by Isshiki attacked again, and its speed was so fast it slightly twisted space, thus locking and suppressing the Flying Thunder God transfer!
With this guy's current speed, pure short-distance movement was almost no different from Body Flicker Technique.
But the Flying Thunder God Technique mechanism still contributed.
Minato carried Nagato and flew away again, appearing several hundred meters away. There was nothing there, but there was an invisibly shrunk Flying Thunder God black rod.
Even if Kamui sucked him mid-way, Flying Thunder God Technique could still activate successfully.
Even facing Six Paths-level lethal Naruto, Parallel World 4 Minato could circle around temporarily with the Flying Thunder God black rod formation.
Clearly, small space distortion suppression couldn't block Flying Thunder God teleportation.
"Bastard!"
"Escaping so fast—then try this!"
Isshiki grew angrier, clapped both hands, and directly condensed a super Chibaku Tensei gravity core.
A large-scale gravitational field quickly enveloped the surroundings, covering everyone.
With the strong gravitational pull, plus Isshiki's super-speed space suppression, it was estimated to counter Minato's slippery everywhere-flying ability.
But Isshiki hadn't had time to get excited...
"Kamui!"
Obito in the distance directly activated his Dōjutsu.
That super-gravity core only lasted a few seconds before being swallowed into the space dimension by Kamui, completely unable to function.
Though Obito couldn't see Isshiki's attacks and speed, a stationary gravity core was still easy to target.
Just pack it and send it to the Kamui dimension.
"What?!"
Isshiki was shocked and immediately looked at the unassuming young Obito in the distance. He didn't understand how each of these people had unique skills?
A gravity core that big was directly sucked away by him?
'Wait...'
'That kid has my Kama Seal aura!!!'
Isshiki sensed the remaining Kama Seal on Parallel World 4 Obito's body. It was the Kama Seal left by the dead Parallel World 4 Isshiki on Obito's body. Though not fully activated, the Kama Seal itself wasn't easy to completely remove.
'No—when did I carve a Kama Seal on that person's body?'
'Could it be a survivor from a previous experiment?'
'Then he escaped on his own?'
'No—did the Juubi thief take him away?'
Isshiki had many guesses in his mind, but he still hadn't thought of the parallel dimension aspect.
After all, it was too absurd.
He only thought Obito was a lucky individual who survived a previous experiment.
It should be known that Code and Kawaki weren't the only vessels he developed.
Over these thousand years, Isshiki himself didn't know how many groups of humans he had captured for experiments.
It wasn't impossible to be careless and let one or two experimental subjects survive.
Moreover, this was already the most reasonable guess.
So, Isshiki suddenly became overjoyed, and his gaze toward Obito was filled with greed and avarice.
Though Isshiki had become the Juubi Jinchūriki and gained near-permanent lifespan, why would he mind having one more reincarnation vessel? And one more life?
Juubi, Black Eye, vessel...
Everything he wanted was actually gathered together.
"Good, good, good!"
"So many surprises."
"Relax—today, not one of you can escape!"
"You're all mine!"
Isshiki grinned.
He felt today was the luckiest and most profitable day of his life!
So many treasures gathered together.
It actually saved him the trouble of searching one by one.
Though these human ninjas all had pretty good strength and all sorts of strange little tricks, they were completely unworthy of mention before absolute power!
Current Six Paths Isshiki was fully confident in defeating everyone!
Happiness came too suddenly!
If he swallowed the chakra of so many people at the scene, how far could he evolve? Isshiki didn't dare think further.
Maybe he could even surpass that bastard Momoshiki, step on him again, and avenge the earlier humiliation!
Just when Isshiki was excited and determined to massacre everyone.
Suddenly, most of the ninjas encircling him vanished!
Three Madaras and Hashirama, plus Tobirama, Minato, Nagato, and Obito—all disappeared instantly, without a trace!
Only the Edo Tensei F4 from Parallel World 6's ninja world remained, looking at each other with confused faces.
Edo Tensei Konoha F4: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ???
Isshiki: (O_o)???!!!
