Sasuke could feel the weight of everyone's expectations and smirked slightly. "Figures. I'm the one who's going to save the world!"
Naruto was initially discouraged but quickly regained his determination and stepped beside Sasuke. "Help me defeat that guy!"
Sasuke nodded with quiet confidence. "Leave it to me!"
Meanwhile, Xianglin asked with concern, "Brother Toneri, are you confident in countering his underhanded ability?"
Toneri replied with a confident smile, "That move of his might be unbeatable for others, but coincidentally, it's exactly countered by mine!"
Seeing the two whispering together, Sasuke felt a surge of irritation.
After all, Sasuke Prime's daughter was practically a mirror image of Xianglin!
Thinking of that, Sasuke leapt onto the arena stage and declared coldly, "Don't dawdle—get up here and die already!"
"Did he swallow an explosive tag or something? What's his problem?" Toneri thought silently. Naturally, he could sense the other's blatant hostility.
Naruto assumed Sasuke's hostility toward Toneri was because of him, and couldn't help feeling moved. "True bros for life!"
Toneri flew onto the arena stage, reciting from *The Divine Quotes*, "Do not speak in arrogance, for it only reveals your weakness!"
Sasuke frowned in displeasure. "You know how to push someone's buttons with just a few words—that's your real talent."
Toneri shook his head slightly. "Such narrow-mindedness only makes me look down on you!"
"Narrow-mindedness? I hate that word!" Sasuke snorted coldly, grabbing a handful of needles from his tool pouch and scattering them like celestial petals in all directions.
These needles weren't aimed at Toneri but were fired toward every corner of the arena.
Toneri asked with interest, "[Flying Thunder God Technique]? To wield spatial power with a mortal body—truly impressive work by its creator!"
Without a word, Sasuke suddenly appeared like a ghost behind Toneri, [Chidori] flashing with blue light as it slashed fiercely downward!
Although Sasuke aimed for his back, having learned from Naruto's previous encounter, Toneri naturally dared not let Sasuke stay behind him and immediately turned around, repelling him with a blast of [Repelling Force]!
"This is the power of the Tenseigan? It seems somewhat similar to the Rinnegan!" Though Sasuke Prime had never set foot on the Moon, he later learned some things from Naruto.
"You actually know about the Tenseigan?" Toneri showed slight surprise.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know about your business on the Moon!" While talking to affect the opponent psychologically, Sasuke mimicked Naruto's approach using shadow clones.
"The Moon!" Toneri indeed fell for it, his mind wavering.
Taking advantage of this moment, Sasuke and his nine hidden clones suddenly attacked, using [Flying Thunder God Technique] to instantly teleport around Toneri from all directions for simultaneous assassination!
However, Toneri's reaction surpassed their expectations.
The [Taijutsu] derived from the Otsutsuki clan flowed like clouds and water, striking Sasuke and the eight clones in rapid succession, sending them flying instantly!
After this brief confrontation, Sasuke felt alarmed inwardly. "His Taijutsu is even better than Momoshiki's!"
Momoshiki may have lacked combat experience, but his Taijutsu itself was far from weak.
However, Sasuke wasn't surprised that Toneri's Taijutsu surpassed Momoshiki's. Given Momoshiki Otsutsuki's pride, he probably looked down upon the rough and brutal nature of Taijutsu.
As for Toneri, though he had a certain degree of arrogance deep inside, overall, he was pretty reasonable.
Toneri's eyes darkened slightly as a layer of green chakra surged forth, enveloping him. "You nearly tricked me!"
Sasuke frowned. He felt danger radiating from his opponent. "Green chakra? Wait a second... Truth-Seeking Balls?"
Although different from the black Truth-Seeking Balls Sasuke Prime remembered, its essence remained extremely similar.
"There's no need for me to ask how you learned all of this," Toneri said, shaking his head slightly. [Two green Truth-Seeking Balls] behind him flew out, spinning rapidly as they unleashed an incredibly powerful whirlwind!
[Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!]
Sasuke barely dodged in time using the Flying Thunder God technique. Toneri spun around calmly on the spot. The whirlwind surged like a beam of light, destroying every single needle on the Arena Stage.
In this critical moment, Sasuke could no longer afford to be cautious. He immediately activated his weakened state and reflected the condition onto Toneri.
Toneri's power instantly vanished. His Tenseigan Mode seemed to stall, and the green chakra gradually disappeared.
Toneri struggled to lift his head. "Your ocular power seems to exceed the limits of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Ordinary Mangekyo abilities couldn't possibly affect my Tenseigan!"
Sasuke panted heavily, holding his waist like a man in severe pain, yet still smirking. "Of course I'm special!"
"Special?" Toneri couldn't help but recall memories from the past—years ago, Aizen had once told him he was the most unique one.
Thinking of this, Toneri smiled. "Though you've tried really hard... sorry, I have reasons why I absolutely cannot lose!"
In the next moment, a gigantic humanoid stone statue suddenly appeared on the Arena Stage, radiating a powerful and ancient aura!
Seeing this, the audience outside the arena was visibly startled.
"What is this? A Kuchiyose no Jutsu?"
"But this statue doesn't look alive at all!"
"Wait, the statue's moving!"
Toneri smiled. "Can your Reflect ability work on inanimate objects too?"
Sasuke's brows furrowed. If this were a Puppet Technique, then when the Puppet Master became weakened, the puppet itself would also be affected. But Toneri's statue seemed immune to that issue.
"A summoned beast with no life force, yet capable of acting entirely on his will?"
In fact, this was the ultimate trump card in his battle strategy!
His summoned beasts remained unaffected, while the opponent's summoned beasts would be weakened. Not to mention that his summoned beasts were already among the strongest in the entire shinobi no sekai!
However, the current situation seemed slightly beyond control.
"Right now, I can only hope that Manda will step up!"
Sasuke bit his finger, formed a hand seal, and pressed it onto the ground.
In the next moment, a giant snake appeared on the arena.
Manda awoke from his slumber. Seeing Sasuke, his previously drowsy and indifferent eyes immediately turned disdainful. "What's wrong with you? You look like a walking corpse!"
In this space-time, Manda had suffered many setbacks and was far less arrogant than in the parallel world. Still, seeing Sasuke in this condition, he couldn't resist mocking him.
Sasuke snorted coldly, "Cut the chatter. Can you handle that guy?"
Manda lifted his head and fixed his gaze on the statue, eyes narrowing. "Just a clay doll? Not even worth mentioning!"
As he spoke, Manda moved with surprising speed, belying his massive size. He wrapped around the statue, squeezing and crushing it until it shattered.
Manda shook his head, "Hmph! This great me—"
Before he could finish, the shattered statue instantly healed, grabbed Manda's tail, and swung him like a whip, slamming the ground repeatedly with fierce force.
Manda coughed up foam, signaling his defeat!
Sasuke's eye twitched uncontrollably. That guy got taken down way too fast! He didn't even have time to react!
Toneri smirked, "Still wanna fight?"
Glaring at the giant statue, Sasuke gritted his teeth, "This time, you win!"
