"What? You dare to underestimate me!" Rikudō Uchiha's face showed shame and anger.
Only facts can truly touch people's hearts; what Madara Uchiha said was full of truth.
He spoke frankly about his weaknesses.
"For thousands of years, the Sage of Six Paths and his clones have been accumulating power, but they have also missed out on some things, namely combat experience, especially combat methods."
With the development of ninjutsu, it became common for the weak to defeat the strong in the ninja world.
Ingenious ideas, applied in combat, permeate every aspect of the battle.
The fighting style of ninjas gradually became more comprehensive, no longer relying solely on brute force or power to devour each other.
From gathering intelligence to devising battle plans, the chances of winning a battle can be increased infinitely.
As the originator of hand seals, Indra had a unique system for the application of ninjutsu.
To break down a powerful force into a weaker one.
The most important of these is the foundation.
The stronger the foundation, the more flawless it is, and the more likely it is to gain the upper hand and achieve victory in battle.
Madara Uchiha grew up amidst carnage, giving him an overwhelming advantage over the Sage of Six Paths and his clones in this regard.
Nawaki Senju gently raised his eyebrows, indicating his approval of Madara Uchiha.
This is one of the reasons why he chose Madara Uchiha.
In the previous life,China prohibited firearms; anything exceeding 1.8 joules could be considered a crime.
The reason for this law is that vulnerable parts of the human body can be severely damaged without requiring much force.
For example, weaknesses such as the eyes, throat, spine, and genitals.
Even he himself is not as experienced in combat as Madara Uchiha, and he needs to make up for that.
Otherwise, their future fate will be equally tragic.
Madara Uchiha was a genius in battle since the Warring States period.
But then he encountered Hashirama Senju, who was also an anomaly.
"It's time to send you on your way." Madara Uchiha leaned forward slightly, glanced at the sky, and then shot off.
He could sense a powerful force approaching.
The pure land that was originally purified by the power of Yin and Yang has returned to turbidity, and their master, the Sage of Six Paths, is assimilating this world.
Soon, this world will once again be ruled by the Six Paths Sennin.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Rikudō Uchiha.
Using the simplest taijutsu, he kicked Rikudō Uchiha in the throat.
If you can't pose a threat to your enemy in terms of strength, you need to make up for it with skill.
Bang...
The Rikudō Uchiha pulled out the Gunbai from behind him and held it horizontally in front of his chest to block Madara Uchiha's attack.
Ripples appeared on the fan, transforming Madara Uchiha's attack into a counterattack.
It possesses a surprising ability to rebound, even the power of Yin and Yang.
His actions were exactly what Madara Uchiha had anticipated.
"If you can't even hold your own weapon properly, how can you fight me?"
Madara Uchiha flashed to the right of the Six Paths Uchiha.
The weapon is a good weapon, but the person using it may not be that powerful.
They don't even understand the tricks of using weapons and can't fully control them.
His right hand was shaped like a claw, with a moon mark on the palm, which he pressed directly onto the Gunbai.
The Gunbai formed from the Gudōdama is still transforming Madara Uchiha's previous attack.
This time, Madara Uchiha directly seized the right to use the weapon.
Click...
Rikudō Uchiha's wrist was severed.
A flicker of fear crossed his eyes.
The previous incarnations of Indra were like rabbits bound hand and foot when facing him, but this time they are facing a tiger baring its fangs.
His once-proud attacks were like those of a clown trying to please Madara Uchiha.
"I might die, but that's better than dying at the hands of the original body."
A unique thought arose in the mind of Rikudō Uchiha.
His facial expression kept shifting, as if he was trying to break free from some kind of restraint.
"Is the gap really that big? In just a simple exchange, Madara Uchiha completely suppressed the Rikudō Uchiha."
"It was the wrong weapon that the Rikudō Uchiha chose. Madara Uchiha's weapon was also a Gunbai, which he had long since used as his own limbs, which is why he was able to steal it so easily."
Nawaki Senju quickly came to a conclusion.
The fan in Rikudō Uchiha's hand appears to be his weapon, but he has never used it much in training or combat.
To him, it was just an ordinary weapon, and he wasn't even very familiar with it.
But Madara Uchiha had already ingrained the skill of using the Gunbai into his very being.
In particular, the Gunbai formed from the Gudōdama is very similar in shape and function to the Sage of Six Paths's artifacts.
It's more like a weapon crafted for the head of the Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha, who was the strongest among them.
It's practically a weapon specifically designed for Madara Uchiha.
Snap...
Under the astonished gaze of Rikudō Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha snatched the fan formed from the Gudōdama, twirled it in his hand, and struck the Rikudō Uchiha directly in the face.
The immense power caused half of Uchiha's face to be completely severed, yet no blood was seen flowing out.
At their level of existence, they are already pure energy life forms.
It took a long time to heal.
"You are truly pathetic. After all these years of relying on such a powerful clan as the Uchiha, you haven't even been able to develop your own power."
If the Gudōdama that transformed into this fan were entirely formed by yourself, it wouldn't have caused you such powerful damage.
Madara Uchiha's lips curled slightly upward, and he shook his head, his eyes filled with disdain.
A powerful force gathered within him, and the marks of the sun and moon eroded the fan, erasing the marks and power of others within it.
Although it was a fan formed from the Gudōdama of the Rikudō Uchiha, the imprint and power left on it were far inferior to those of the Sage of Six Paths.
The Sage of Six Paths was not only worried about Indra losing control, but also about the Rikudō Uchiha losing control.
He also secretly restrained the Rikudō Uchiha in every way.
At this moment, Rikudō Uchiha began to eliminate his clones, and he felt a strong sense of unease.
Specifically, this manifests as powerful races in the ninja world being wiped out one after another, weakening the power of their progenitors.
Especially as the Sage of Six Paths's plan was nearing completion, Shippuden was about to begin.
His goal was about to be achieved, so these weapons were no longer of any importance.
The Senju clan was wiped out, the Kaguya clan was wiped out, the Uzumaki clan was wiped out, the Uchiha clan was wiped out...
The demise of these powerful families was the result of the Sage of Six Paths consolidating his power.
The appearance of the Senju Nawaki has completely disrupted the Sage of Six Paths's plans.
On the field.
Rikudō Uchiha's expression turned indifferent.
"Although you have broken free from the influence of Indra's reincarnation chakra, you are still a member of the Uchiha clan, while I am the progenitor of the Uchiha clan."
Rikudō Uchiha suddenly burst into wild laughter.
This smile made Madara Uchiha and Nawaki Senju lower their heads in thought, as if they had seen it somewhere before.
So the source of the Uchiha's maniacal laughter was this very Uchiha ancestor?
"What if it isn't?" Madara Uchiha tucked his fan behind his back, clasped his hands together, and a sun and moon mark appeared between his eyebrows.
It radiated a white glow.
The Senju Nawaki's Zenshigan shimmered with a green torrent, and the corners of its mouth lifted slightly.
As expected of the talent I value, he transformed his body into such a form, transcending racial boundaries.
Today's Madara Uchiha is no longer simply a member of the Uchiha clan; he is more like the progenitor of all ninja clans—the Shinju.
One of the credits for this was that he held hands with Hashirama Senju.
"How could that be? Every Indra of all time has treasured the Uchiha clan's bloodline. Even if they discovered it, they would only want to overthrow their superiors."
Rikudō Uchiha's laughter stopped abruptly, and he angrily asked a question.
Now, the only way he can use his bloodline to suppress Madara Uchiha is through his identity.
But what the other party considered a treasure became part of something else.
It's like inlaying gold into the shoes on your feet.
"Indeed, all the reincarnations of Indra have plotted to seize the position of your Uchiha ancestor."
In my opinion, the new creature transformed from the combination of the Yin-Yang power of the Uchiha and Senju clans, along with the Gedō Mazō, far surpasses the physical body of the Uchiha clan.
The reason why the Sage of Six Paths wanted to obtain Indra and Asura was because the combination of Yin and Yang power had the ability to suppress and create worlds.
Everything serves the purpose of enhancing combat effectiveness.
Madara Uchiha clenched his right hand in mid-air, and a sapling sprouted from the ground beneath his feet, its branches reaching the heavens and the earth, growing to a height of several hundred meters, supporting Madara Uchiha's body as he floated in mid-air.
This touch of green stands out prominently in this pristine land.
Trees exist in the Pure Land, but these trees are all illusions. The Shinju sapling that Madara Uchiha just created is full of vitality and will bring changes to the whole world.
In the Pure Land, a different kind of change is taking place.
"The Pure Land has undergone new changes, and the Sage of Six Paths has not yet fully mastered the camera." A strange light flashed in Nawaki Senju's eyes.
Madara Uchiha did this to strengthen the Pure Land and allow new rules of power to be born there.
This also limits the speed at which the Sage of Six Paths can control the Pure Land; the Sage of Six Paths has not yet fully mastered the Pure Land world.
In the Pure Land world, perhaps only the Shinju created by the power of Yin and Yang can survive.
"It's over now. Your master has finally arrived." A hint of weakness flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes.
He seemed to easily defeat the Rikudō Uchiha, and he had an absolute advantage in basic combat skills, but his strength foundation was not as solid as that of the Rikudō Uchiha.
Throughout the entire battle, half of the power was consumed in defense alone.
Fight with minimal resources.
The Sage of Six Paths is about to arrive, and he must finish this quickly.
"Arrogant!"
Upon hearing the title "Master," Rikudō Uchiha went berserk.
It was like flipping a switch; images kept flashing through my mind—memories from endless, desolate years.
As an avatar of the Sage of Six Paths, the Sage of Six Paths was extremely wary of him, not only failing to nurture him but also frequently sealing him away.
He will only be released when Indra is out of control.
The awakened self-awareness of the clone will naturally have some complaints.
"I have to admit, your strength far exceeds my expectations."
Perhaps my mission should end here, but I also want to give it one last shot!
The Rikudō Uchiha regained his composure, as if he had seen through everything, and a trace of affection appeared in his eyes as he looked at Madara Uchiha.
This left Madara Uchiha somewhat dazed.
Am I being targeted by a pervert?
"Damn it, are all the people in this world this twisted? The Rikudō Uchiha' bloodshed over the past thousand years has led them to treat the reincarnation of Indra with the same affection they would show for educating a younger generation."
Nawaki Senju frowned, recalling several cases from his past life: whenever two people crossed paths, feelings would develop between them.
Extreme disgust and extreme joy can transform in an instant into another form of bickering lovers.
This is a disease!
Now, Nawaki Senju fully agrees with the Sage of Six Paths's approach, which is to imprison and seal the Rikudō Uchiha.
The so-called sense of identity, illusion, ideology, and Nindō in this world are all too illusory and can invade each other, especially the chosen ones.
Madara Uchiha has already influenced the judgment of the Rikudō Uchiha.
"As you wish."
Madara Uchiha's voice was deep as he prepared to launch an attack.
The sun and moon marks at the center of his brow shine brightly, suppressing all other marks in the surrounding space.
Hands clasped together.
A nearly kilometer-long shadowy figure appeared behind him, in black and white, with two colors of ribbons fluttering around him.
The image of the Buddha was imbued with unparalleled majesty.
It has two heads, four arms, and two legs, and appears to be two statues joined together. It also holds two scepters formed by two scepters. One head has a moon pattern, and the other has a sun pattern.
One face had a kind expression, while the other had a fierce one.
"An interesting Dharma form, representing the balance of Yin and Yang!" Nawaki Senju nodded to himself.
Madara Uchiha's current form governs good and evil, achieving a balance in life.
To fully find one's own path.
"Has it already reached this point? But it's just an illusion; it still needs time to accumulate. I'll grant your wish."
Rikudō Uchiha raised his head, barely managing to make the entire Dharma image come into view.
He let out a sigh, and his face showed an unexpected warmth.
Madara Uchiha not only transcended Indra's bondage, but also his own. Seeing this Dharma form, he has an even greater chance of transcending the bondage of the Sage of Six Paths.
Perhaps I should lend him a hand.
"This is so damn melodramatic!" Nawaki Senju had a bad feeling but didn't intervene.
Rikudō Uchiha clasped his hands together, and a Dharma image appeared behind him as well.
This statue is only about 500 meters tall, much shorter than Madara Uchiha's statue.
The image was strikingly similar to that of the Sage of Six Paths, his face radiating a serene expression, yet it appeared utterly hypocritical.
He also held a black scepter, but the scepter had no patterns on it and looked somewhat "simple".
Bang...
An explosion was heard.
The smoke and dust spread outwards in concentric circles.
The pristine land was blasted into a bottomless crater.
The sky was clear and bright, and when I looked up, I saw the ninja world reflected in it.
"Just as I expected, this is so melodramatic."
Nawaki Senju once again voiced his dissatisfaction.
The Rikudō Uchiha actually revealed the Dharma Image behind him and his own body.
He passed on all the power he had accumulated over thousands of years to Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha examined his body and found nothing unusual; on the contrary, it felt even more harmonious, and the power foundation he lacked most had been replenished.
