"..."
Uehara Naraku was silent for a while.
The atmosphere in the air gradually became tense.
Regardless of who it was, everyone involuntarily looked toward the Six Paths Sage and Uehara Naraku.
Black Zetsu's voice started sinisterly, "Hehehehe... A battle between the divine Six Paths Sage and the human Hagoromo?"
"Shut up!"
Uehara Naraku glared at Black Zetsu.
The next moment, two chains suddenly extended from Uehara's hand, one capable of binding souls—Soul Shackles, and the other, the Energy Lock Chain, able to extract Chakra!
Uehara Naraku's Soul Shackles abruptly attacked the Chakra body of the Six Paths Sage: "Though you have some value in challenge... I must say, you've truly mistaken me!"
The staff swung to disperse the two chains!
The Six Paths Sage held the staff upside down with one hand; his Chakra Spirit Body seemed capable of descending anywhere in the Ninja World, his figure suddenly appearing beside Uehara Naraku, reaching out to strike Uehara Naraku's body!
In the next moment, the Six Paths Sage's hand landed in empty space!
Uehara Naraku's figure simultaneously vanished with Void Walking!
Instantly, everyone's vision was a blur; they only managed to see the flickering afterimages, unable to track Uehara Naraku and the Six Paths Sage!
Whenever Uehara Naraku appeared, the Six Paths Sage would promptly follow and relocate his position, while Uehara Naraku wouldn't hesitate to immediately use Void Walking to change places!
Luckily, those present either possessed the Rinnegan or the Byakugan...
Even Uzumaki Naruto, with his powerful perception ability, could barely discern that the two continued using their respective abilities to evade and attack!
Clusters of Void Walking left behind spatial quagmire...
Clusters of Six Paths Sage's descent and disappearance left behind Chakra smoke...
In just a dozen seconds, the entire sky had changed shape, and their figures became increasingly difficult to capture!
This was a battle even more spectacular than the one between Uehara Naraku and Kaguya!
Next moment, the voices of the two resounded in the sky!
"Susanoo!"
Whether in attack or defense, Susanoo was the perfect choice!
The Six Paths Sage Otsutsuki Hagoromo, even with just a Chakra Spirit Body remaining, still possessed unfathomable power!
This guy considered sealing Kaguya himself if Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke refused the Yang Power and Yin Power he intended to bestow upon them!
The Six Paths Sage's might surpassed the limits of Life Energy!
Every power in the Ninja World was almost fully mastered by the Six Paths Sage without exception; he was the second individual in this world to possess Chakra, the first one to have the Rinnegan, and the first to successfully train in Sage Mode.
Uehara Naraku's power was no less formidable!
Since Uehara Naraku gradually revealed his true face, the entire Ninja World couldn't find anyone capable of defeating him; Six Paths: Orochimaru, Six Paths: Uchiha Madara, even Chakra Ancestor Otsutsuki Kaguya easily fell to his hands!
Three successive Ten-tailed Jinchuriki were defeated by Uehara!
No one could even cause him much trouble!
Next moment, two identical, celestial-sized Complete Form of Susanoo clashed in the air, every Sword Qi seemed to cleave the sky!
Clang!
Each Susanoo gripped a Ninja Blade!
Next moment, Uehara Naraku and the Six Paths Sage each commanded their Susanoo to slash at each other; their colossal Ninja Blades slammed together fiercely!
A massive shockwave suddenly radiated outward!
A strong wind whipped up in the sky, even threatening to topple the Divine Tree with its overwhelming impetus!
The battle between these two far exceeded the boundaries of a ninja!
In this moment, they were truly gods!
Uehara Naraku maneuvered his Susanoo, suddenly crouching and charging diagonally, slicing past the opponent's Ninja Blade and directly severing the head of Six Paths Sage's Susanoo with one stroke!
The outcome was decided.
Uehara Naraku calmly controlled his Susanoo to turn around, gazed through the crystal as the gigantic form of the Six Paths Sage's Susanoo dissipated into a mere shadow.
"Did I...lose?"
The Six Paths Sage's brows furrowed slightly; he slowly turned his head towards Uehara Naraku, revealing a moment of realization on his face: "Is this...human conquering heaven?"
"That's enough..."
Uehara Naraku couldn't help but rub his forehead: "You lost to me because my strength is ridiculously high, okay?"
"Indeed..."
The Six Paths Sage slowly nodded; his aged voice emerged again: "Chakra has always been so magical; because humans possess emotions, sometimes Chakra becomes quite weak, other times immensely strong, but once I became the embodiment of order for the Ninja World, my power was permanently fixed."
"Let's leave it at that..."
Uehara Naraku rubbed his forehead; the Six Paths Sage was still talking about such trivial things, while Uehara knew his strength stemmed from him being a cheat!
"Alright, Uehara Naraku."
The Six Paths Sage halted his staff momentarily, speaking solemnly: "As the human side, since you chose a different path, you must take the responsibility to monitor our mother!"
After saying this, the Six Paths Sage continued: "I will still wander between life and death in this Ninja World; once I sense anything amiss, I will immediately seal her again!"
"Whatever."
Uehara Naraku glanced at his mission panel, slowly raising his finger, murmuring: "Now let me release this world's Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"Wait!"
Uchiha Sasuke's eyes flashed; he stretched out his hand to stop Uehara Naraku, loudly questioning: "Uehara Naraku, what you told me before, is it true or false...about Uchiha and Konoha?"
"That question..."
Uehara Naraku raised his brow, suddenly began: "Despite mixing some truth and falsehood, Konoha and the Uchiha's affairs are indeed true, Sasuke, you actually have many enemies within Konoha..."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Uehara Naraku's face; he glanced at the two below and continued: "Rather unfortunately, your pace of becoming stronger is too slow. During the time you were strengthening, your enemies were already leisurely killed by me..."
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke was momentarily speechless.
Can this guy just not say a normal thing?
This bastard Uehara Naraku, while revealing past events, pushed him to destroy Konoha for revenge; and now tells him his enemies were leisurely slain long before...
Is this guy insane!
"Alright, first release the Infinite Tsukuyomi..."
Uehara Naraku abruptly raised his finger; his eyes gently trembled, whispering: "I still have lots to accomplish in this world!"
The blood moon in the sky gently trembled and instantly reverted back to normal.
The Divine Tree on the ground began slowly shrinking as each mummy sealed by the Infinite Tsukuyomi dropped, the people inside gradually awakening.
Infinite Tsukuyomi, released.
