I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 199 The Power to Destroy All Things in the Universe, the Technique of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life

"Almost there. I just need one more thing to reach the top level of the Six Paths and completely enter the complete stage."

Looking at the nine Truth-Seeking Balls floating around him, Yagyu's lips curled up slightly as he muttered to himself.

His voice also caught the attention of Obito Uchiha, who was at the bottom of the crater.

Now, unconscious and instinctively viewing all living beings around him as enemies, Obito Uchiha, like a frightened animal, did not run away but instead attacked the target that frightened him.

In an instant, Obito Uchiha disappeared from the bottom of the meteorite crater and appeared behind Yagyu, swinging the Six Paths Staff in his hand toward Yagyu.

The seemingly heavy staff contains the power to annihilate everything, provided that the enemy is not on the same level or in the same dimension as it.

Clang—Yagyu seemed not to have reacted, nor did he seem to have sensed Obito Uchiha's figure appearing behind him.

However, the Truth-Seeking Balls surrounding him seemed to have their own defensive system. One of the Truth-Seeking Balls suddenly transformed into a black beam of light, colliding with the Six Paths Staff that was being swung at him.

When the two collided, they immediately produced a loud sound.

Then, the Six Paths Staff in Obito's hand was knocked to the side, and the powerful impact even caused Obito's body to tilt slightly.

At that moment, Yagyu turned around and punched Obito Uchiha in the stomach.

Obito Uchiha, whose expression was indifferent and devoid of any human emotion or consciousness, finally showed pain and contortion on his usually expressionless face.

boom-

A terrifying shockwave erupted from Obito Uchiha's body.

To be precise, a huge cyclone formed by a burst of chakra bloomed and spread from Obito Uchiha's abdomen, turning into a storm that swept around.

If you look closely, you'll see that Obito Uchiha's abdomen has been dented, as terrifying force has seeped into his body and is rampaging wildly within him.

If Obito Uchiha hadn't already become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and had taken that punch head-on from Yagyu, even though half of his body was made up of Hashirama cells, he would have either died or been crippled.

This wasn't the end of it. Yagyu grinned and exclaimed, "Second stage liberation!"

A louder sound and shockwave than before erupted once more.

The next second, Obito Uchiha was sent flying backward.

Behind him, an astonishing gust of air erupted, instantly forming a massive, cylindrical, transparent white air cannon. Just like the super laser from before, it drew a white line in the night sky before crashing into the red, transparent barrier.

The Four Red Yang Formation, so powerful that even the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball couldn't budge it in the slightest, actually trembled under the impact of this air cannon.

Just like a pebble falling into a mirror-like lake, it created ripples.

"Wow—such powerful force! What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

"This isn't ninjutsu; it's the same kind of superhuman strength punch we use."

"Are you kidding me?! Superhuman strength can reach this level?!"

"We might not be able to, but it's possible for Yagyu, after all, he's from a different dimension than us."

"Hmm--I feel that all Yagyu-kun needs to do now is release his chakra and he can immobilize me. The chakra contained in those nine floating black spheres is terrifying. My Byakugan seems to see the power of a volcano. Once the chakra inside explodes, I can't imagine what kind of damage it will cause."

"That person also has these spheres on his body, and it seems they appeared on him first. Could these terrifying black spheres be standard equipment for that level?"

"Very likely—"

Since the Four Red Sun Formation was maintained by four people, Hinata and the other three girls all felt the power of that air cannon through the shaking of the barrier, and just how amazing it was.

Hinata and Karin, who possess the Byakugan and Kagura's Mind's Eye, immediately recognized how this dish came about.

This is the Super Strength Fist, the chakra burst that the Senju clan excels at and that corresponds to the Uchiha clan's Fire Release.

Unlike them, who spread their chakra to destroy the earth, Yagyu compressed his chakra into an air cannon that could penetrate everything.

In fact, Hinata and the other three girls only guessed half of it correctly.

Yagyu's punch was actually a double attack: first, the simplest and most brutal strike of superhuman strength, and then the air cannon that could penetrate everything.

Obito Uchiha essentially took two punches.

This second-stage release was inspired by Naruto, or more precisely, by the Frog Kumite of Mount Myōboku, and was a two-stage attack using natural energy.

The power of this punch is no weaker than Evening Elephant when Might Guy opens the Eight Gates Formation in the original work.

Clearly, after Yagyu reached the Six Paths level, not only did his Five Elements Escape Technique change from a Celestial Five Elements Technique to a Six Paths Celestial Technique, but his physical techniques also rose directly from the Kage and Super Kage levels to the Six Paths Celestial Technique level.

Whether it's the Six Paths Sage Mode or physical techniques, they are among the few abilities capable of harming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Therefore, Obito Uchiha, who took the punch head-on from Yagyu, was sent flying backwards, and his body was already slightly deformed under the internal and external damage from the Sage Chakra and the force.

However, this deformed body is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Obito Uchiha's lifeless eyes gradually regained their luster.

Yagyu's punch actually helped Obito Uchiha gain an advantage in the struggle for control of his body.

When Obito landed, his deformed body had been restored to its original state, and his eyes had regained their luster.

"So powerful... Is this the power of the Sage of Six Paths?"

After regaining control of his body, Obito Uchiha, just like Yagyu had just done, experienced the changes in his body.

He sensed the vast chakra within his body, as well as the seven chakra attributes that he had not been able to fully cultivate over the years. Not only did he obtain them, but he also reached the pinnacle of his mastery in nature and form transformation, fusing them into the incredible Truth-Seeking Balls and the various abilities inherent to the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

Previously, Obito Uchiha's overall strength was only that of an elite Jonin, enough to threaten the Five Kage. However, without Kamui, he would have been completely outmatched by Onoki and the Fourth Raikage. This realization left him with a slightly shocked sigh.

It's no wonder he reacted that way, after all, above elite Jonin, there are also hidden hierarchical divisions such as Kage, Five Kage, Five Kage Peak, Super Kage Gatekeeper, and Super Kage Peak.

Obito Uchiha only became the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki. Even with Kamui in the original story, he was almost killed by Konan. Yet, his strength has already crossed so many levels, reaching a point where he can barely enter another dimension.

If he were still in his Ten-Tails Jinchuriki form, and could still use Kamui to intangibly transform, Yagyu would never have let him live until now.

We will certainly not allow him to become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.

After all, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's physique is already incredibly powerful. Apart from Sage Mode and Taijutsu, only special attacks can break through his defenses, and space-time ninjutsu is one such special technique.

If Obito Uchiha can still use Kamui Intangibility, then only space-time ninjutsu can hurt him, or an attack similar to the Eight Gates Formation's Night Guy that can distort space, would be able to harm Obito Uchiha.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

This is the drawback of not being a true Rinnegan user and becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki. Not only do they have to undergo the test of the Ten-Tails' will, but they also cannot use the Rinnegan's exclusive eye techniques or their own exclusive eye techniques. They can only use the abilities that come with being a Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

Of course, even if he could only use the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Obito Uchiha was powerful enough.

Indigo brush ·—.—·

After Obito Uchiha finished his exclamation, the Six Paths Staff in his hand was suddenly covered in red flames.

This red flame did not emit terrifyingly high temperatures, but it contained a power of rules similar to the Truth-Seeking Ball, possessing the power to destroy everything.

This is one of the unique abilities of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki: Cross Fire Offering.

With a sway of his hand, Obito Uchiha wielded the Six Paths Staff, which was covered in red flames. With a mere wave of the staff, the power of annihilation and collapse blasted the tree branches that had suddenly shot up from the ground to try to bind him into dust. As if struck by a Dust Release attack, the branches turned into atoms and dissipated into the world.

The next second, Obito Uchiha's figure rose into the air, looking down at Yagyu, who was also dressed in white robes and surrounded by nine Truth-Seeking Balls. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in shock, "What's going on? Why does he also have such power? Has he also become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki?"

But Obito Uchiha quickly realized something was wrong, muttering, "Something's not right. His eyes aren't the Rinnegan, and his chakra reserves are lower than mine. Could this Truth-Seeking Ball be a copy of mine?"

Unable to understand, Obito Uchiha decided to test Yagyu.

He raised his hand and pointed, and a Truth-Seeking Ball beside him immediately transformed into a black beam of light that shot down.

In the blink of an eye, the black beam of light formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball reached its maximum potential, transformed back into a black sphere, and then began to shimmer with dazzling light.

In an instant, a deafening explosion, resembling the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, nearly deafened Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha, and the four girls, including Hinata, who were maintaining the Four Red Yang Formation. Even the elite troops of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, who had already annihilated all the enemies and were considering whether to go and help, abandoned their suicidal idea and chose to withdraw from the battlefield, and even the Land of Rain, to await the outcome of the battle on Yagyu's side.

The battle over there was beyond their reach. Even the Five Kage were nothing more than large ants in the face of that other-dimensional power.

After the white light dissipated, a super crater, no less impressive than that created by the Celestial Technique Dust Escape: Rasengan, immediately appeared within the barrier of the Four Red Sun Formation.

Just like the Sage Art: Dust Release - Rasenshuriken, the walls of this massive crater were so smooth, without a single speck of sand or gravel left from the explosion, as if this entire land had been erased by the power of the laws of nature.

And that is indeed the case.

This is why Truth-Seeking Balls are classified as SSS-rank ninjutsu, just like Sage Art: Wood Release - True Several Thousand Hands - Top Transformed Buddha.

Ninjutsu with large-scale explosions is not uncommon in the thousands of years of ninja history.

For example, the forbidden techniques of the Tsuchigumo clan, Deidara's self-destruction, and even the Tailed Beast Ball—these are all large-scale ninjutsu capable of destroying several small mountains.

The Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball is even more powerful, second only to the chakra cannon of the Hidden Cloud Village in the movie. It is a power that can easily destroy a country and rewrite the map.

However, none of these forbidden techniques and Tailed Beast Balls reached the SSS level. Even Madara Uchiha's Armored Susanoo and the combination attack that fused the Susanoo's katana with the Tailed Beast Ball were at most ninjutsu of the level of Super Shinra Tensei.

Even ninjutsu like these couldn't destroy the incredibly powerful Truth-Seeking Balls and Sage Art: Wood Release - True Several Thousand Hands.

Even those Tailed Beast Balls that were aimed at Truth-Seeking Balls and Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands would instantly turn into nothingness, or be caught by the wooden hands and thrown back.

The reason why the Truth-Seeking Ball is on par with Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, and can even break the wrist, is due to the power of its self-destruction.

The annihilation of that power of rules is a dimensional force that surpasses even the Bloodline Limit: Dust Release. Even the Preta Path of the Rinnegan cannot absorb it, and it is an explosion that annihilates everything, forcing one to choose to flee.

No matter how strong the Wood Release is, or how amazing the chakra and natural energy it contains, once it is hit by the explosive wave of the white light, it will instantly turn into dust.

Therefore, the Seeking the Way Jade is said to possess the power to destroy all things in the universe.

Just like only those at the Sixth Path level can deal with those at the Sixth Path level.

To withstand the explosion of Truth-Seeking Balls, one must either possess space-time ninjutsu or have Truth-Seeking Balls.

And Yagyu is someone who embodies both.

Inside the massive crater, a black sphere was floating.

The black sphere remained undamaged within the blast radius.

After the white light dissipated and everything returned to calm, the black sphere floated into the air and liquefied again, transforming into nine Truth-Seeking Balls.

Looking at the unharmed Yagyu, Obito Uchiha's heart sank.

It really is a Seeking the Way Jade!

What happened when I lost consciousness?

"It seems you have regained consciousness."

Looking at Obito Uchiha opposite him, Yagyu smiled and said, "Not the true owner of the Rinnegan, yet able to defeat the Ten-Tails' will."

I never imagined that besides Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, and Uchiha Sasuke, there would be an Uchiha like you in this era.

"Thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to succeed."

Looking at Madara Uchiha, who had already activated his Complete Susanoo and was controlling a wooden dragon to crush Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha, who had already used their Armored Susanoo, Obito Uchiha realized that the existence he feared most was obvious in strength. At the same time, the cursed seal on his heart had automatically dissipated. He couldn't help but reveal the pride and smugness unique to the Uchiha clan and laughed.

But the next second, he was proven wrong, much to the surprise of even Liu Sheng.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light flashed in the direction of the battlefield where Madara Uchiha and Naruto and Sasuke were fighting.

Somewhere in the Land of Rain, this shout rang out:

"Ninja Art: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique!"
