Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode.

"It's finally done. I've absorbed the Nine-Tails. Even if the Ten-Tails is missing most of the Eight-Tails' power, it's not a big deal. Compared to the other eight tailed beasts, the Nine-Tails is the closest to the Ten-Tails and is also the most important component of the Ten-Tails."

Madara Uchiha smiled with satisfaction as he watched the Gedo Mazo easily absorb the Yin Nine-Tails from Minato's body.

After losing the Nine-Tails, Minato's life also vanished as quickly as a candle flickering in the wind.

The Gedo Mazo then tossed Minato away like trash.

Just as Minato was falling from the sky and being smashed to pieces, a person suddenly fell rapidly from the sky and successfully caught him before he hit the ground.

"sorry……"

Minato recognized the person who had come in, opened his mouth with difficulty, and said with a guilty expression.

As the bodyguard who was supposed to protect Tsunade, he failed to protect the Hokage and even lost the Nine-Tails. He was extremely irresponsible and deserved to die.

"No, you've done enough. It's the enemy who's too despicable and cunning, and it's also because I arrived too late. Get some sleep and leave everything to me. Don't worry, just sleep it off, and everything will be alright when you wake up."

Kirito looked at the dying Minato and said with equal remorse.

Although he had anticipated the worst-case scenario, he still did not want it to happen. If possible, he would definitely have stepped in to save him. However, this time Madara Uchiha did not play by the rules and caught him off guard.

Upon hearing Kirito's words, Minato finally closed his eyes in relief.

He had complete faith in his friend's abilities. If even he couldn't stop Madara Uchiha, then there was probably no one else in the world who could stop Madara Uchiha.

"You think you can get better after a good night's sleep? Hahaha~, you've got quite the nerve. If you had arrived earlier, your words might have had some merit, but now you still think you can defeat me, who has already obtained the power of the Ten-Tails? Arrogant brat!"

At the same time, upon hearing Kirito's words, Madara Uchiha burst into laughter, then suddenly roared in anger.

As they spoke, Pain and Hashirama Senju, who was guarding the place, simultaneously unleashed their ultimate attacks.

Pain raised his hands, causing a massive dent in the earth and unleashing a powerful repulsive force.

Shinra Tensei!

Hashirama Senju clapped his hands together, instantly entering Sage Mode. A giant Thousand-Armed Wooden Kannon appeared beneath his feet, followed by thousands of enormous fists that lashed out at Kirito with a howling wind.

Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!

A Buddha appears on the crown of the head!

Facing the powerful attacks of Pain and Hashirama, Kirito showed no intention of dodging. Two black spheres quickly appeared, which were Truth-Seeking Balls.

The two Truth-Seeking Balls quickly transformed into a thin, round shield, which was placed above Kirito's head and behind him respectively.

For a moment, neither the terrifying repulsive force created by Pain's Shinra Tensei nor the fist swung by Hashirama's top-down Buddha could break through the two thin round shields.

The Seeking Truth Jewel truly lives up to its reputation as a power born from the fusion of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, surpassing both bloodline limits and bloodline elimination. It can be both an invincible spear and an unbreakable shield.

Ordinary ninjutsu no longer has the potential to break through the shield formed by Truth-Seeking Balls.

"Truth-Seeking Balls! A mere ordinary human has actually studied the mysteries of chakra to this extent. These Truth-Seeking Balls were created purely based on the understanding of Yin-Yang and Five Elements techniques, rather than the power of the Otsutsuki clan's bloodline."

Hidden in the shadows, Black Zetsu was shocked and disoriented. He could hardly believe that the Truth-Seeking Balls, a power that clearly belonged exclusively to the Otsutsuki clan, would be wielded by a native of the ninja world.

Black Zetsu, who inherited many of Kaguya Otsutsuki's memories, was naturally familiar with Truth-Seeking Balls. This was a powerful skill that only those who had mastered the power of the Divine Tree or had completely mastered the fusion of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements could acquire.

In its mind, only its great mother and those two hateful, rebellious brothers possessed the Truth-Seeking Jewel.

In that protracted battle, it was precisely because those two despicable and rebellious older brothers possessed this powerful skill that they were able to contend with Mother and ultimately seal her away with a sealing technique.

Therefore, Black Zetsu is well aware of the kind of power Kirito has now mastered—a terrifying power capable of threatening his mother.

Will Madara Uchiha be able to withstand this terrifying power?

This question instantly arose in Black Zetsu's mind, and he became deeply worried about it.

The Gedo Mazo has now swallowed half of the Nine-Tails and is only a short time away from truly transforming into the Ten-Tails. However, it is precisely because of this short period that the enemy has been given an opportunity.

Moreover, it was quite certain that the despicable Konoha ninja would definitely notice this.

"My Pain's full-power Shinra Tensei and Hashirama's Top Transformed Buddha were blocked so easily? What exactly is that little black ball?"

Although this wasn't the first time Madara Uchiha had seen Kirito use Truth-Seeking Balls, he was still utterly shocked by their power once again.

He considered himself extremely powerful, but the White Snake Sage Pain died from this very move. With just one strike, his White Snake Sage Pain puppet's body completely collapsed.

This shows that the black ball was not only extremely powerful, but also had the effect of spreading its attack.

Upon seeing it again, it was discovered that this small black ball possesses astonishing defensive capabilities.

Of course, with his keen eyesight, he could see that the black ball's amazing defensive power was built on its powerful offensive capabilities; the black ball seemed capable of obliterating everything.

So, what will be the kid's next goal?

not good!

Madara Uchiha reacted instantly. In a flash, he used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and then made all the shadow clones use Susanoo, and enter the fourth stage of Susanoo.

Almost simultaneously, a small black arrow shot out from Kirito's hand, its target being the Gedo Mazo that was devouring and absorbing the Nine-Tails at an alarming speed.

If the Gedo Mazo is destroyed, Madara Uchiha's plan will completely fail.

Madara Uchiha noticed the small black arrow with his Rinnegan and instantly realized that it was something Kirito had created with Truth-Seeking Balls. He immediately ordered many shadow clones with Susanoo activated to block it.

The black arrow was indestructible. No matter how powerful Madara Uchiha's shadow clones used various defensive ninjutsu to resist it, or how the Tengu Samurai tried to block it, they were all as fragile as paper and could not stop its path.

Finally, the Truth-Seeking Ball black arrow successfully struck the head of the Outer Path Demon Statue.

The Gedo Mazo immediately let out a deafening scream, and then endless chakra began to erupt from its mouth.

Kirito did not show a happy smile upon seeing this, because he knew that the enemy was not so easy to defeat.

Sure enough, a moment later, the demonic statue in his eyes suddenly returned to its original state.

At the same time, one of Madara Uchiha's three-tomoe Sharingan eyes lost its light.

It was Izanagi, the signature move that Madara Uchiha used to turn the tide of battle.

With the massive chakra support provided by the Gedo Mazo, which devoured the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, Madara Uchiha no longer needed to worry about not being able to use Izanagi multiple times.

In fact, one of his purposes in sending the Animal Path Pain to attack Konoha was to collect the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately, the Uchiha clan's strength increased significantly after Kirito Tohsaka and Chizuru Uchiha got together, and with Chizuru protecting him within the clan, his goal of harvesting Sharingan eyes was not successfully achieved.

That's his fault too.

His sudden acceleration of the Eye of the Moon project caught the enemy off guard, but many previously finalized plans were also rendered useless. Without prior planning, the gains were naturally not very high.

Including his accumulation over the years, he now has only about fifty three-tomoe Sharingan eyes.

Even with only this much, he was confident that he could use it to withstand Kirito Tohsaka's attack for a while, delaying until the Gedo Mazo completed its evolution into the Ten-Tails.

If the Gedo Mazo successfully evolves into the Ten-Tails, then Kirito's terrifyingly powerful mysterious black spheres will no longer be a threat.

With its mobility and splitting abilities, the Ten-Tails can completely avoid the damage from these mysterious black orbs.

"Just hold on for about five more minutes."

Madara Uchiha did some mental calculations.

He had spent every day with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and had long since formed a special connection with it, allowing him to clearly know the current state of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the power he could draw upon.

Thinking this way, Madara Uchiha's confidence returned, and he grinned arrogantly, saying, "It's useless, Kirito Tohsaka. As long as Izanagi is available, you can't destroy the Gedo Mazo with your technique. Accept your fate; the ending was already decided."

Amidst laughter, Pain and Hashirama, under the control of Madara Uchiha's will, attacked once again.

Pain directly hurled a small black ball at Kirito, which landed in Kirito's mouth above his head and then embedded itself in space, forming a black hole with terrifying suction.

Earth-shattering Heavenly Star!

With a clap of his hands, countless enormous tree roots began to rise from the ground beneath and around Kirito. These roots had only one purpose: to strangle or temporarily imprison Kirito.

Sage Art: Wood Release: Flower Tree World Descends!

Faced with the terrifying ninjutsu unleashed by the combined power of the two strong individuals, Kirito didn't even flinch. He simply clapped his hands together and vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was already behind the Gedo Mazo.

At this moment, the advantages of the Flying Thunder God Formation, a space-time ninjutsu, were fully demonstrated, easily avoiding the attacks of the two powerful figures.

Madara Uchiha quickly pinpointed Kirito's location using his Rinnegan, his face darkening, and a three-tomoe Sharingan instantly appeared in his hand.

The next moment, another small black arrow formed from a Truth-Seeking Ball struck the Outer Path Demon Statue, causing it to collapse out of control once again.

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha activated Izanagi again in time to change reality, which restored the Gedo Mazo to its original state.

However, Kirito's attack did not end easily. Immediately, another Truth-Seeking Ball black arrow struck the Gedo Mazo, forcing Madara Uchiha to once again consume his three-tomoe Sharingan to use Izanagi to alter reality.

Kirito's offensive continued, and Madara Uchiha's counterattacks were equally relentless. The two powerful warriors, Pain and Hashirama, rushed forward to stop Kirito, even engaging him in hand-to-hand combat in an attempt to buy as much time as possible.

Among them, Hashirama the Sage is the main melee fighter.

This First Hokage was at the world's top level in both ninjutsu and taijutsu. Moreover, after being resummoned by Madara Uchiha using White Zetsu as a sacrifice, his strength was already close to his prime. His physical attributes were ridiculously strong, especially when he activated Sage Mode. He could unleash speed comparable to the Body Flicker Technique simply by using his physical strength.

In the blink of an eye, Sage Hashirama appeared in front of Kirito, without any fancy moves, and simply threw a punch.

Kirito didn't try to take the blow head-on; he instantly sidestepped, causing Hashirama's fist to land on the ground.

In an instant, the ground within a radius of several hundred meters trembled and countless fragments of earth appeared.

"That's terrifying power; that's what a true monstrous punch looks like."

Kirito leaped through the collapsed rubble, sighing inwardly.

Suddenly, Hashirama Senju appeared again, throwing another punch, preventing Kirito from finding time to gather Truth-Seeking Balls to destroy the Gedo Mazo.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure struck, causing Kirito's entire body to creak and groan.

It was Pain in the sky who seized the opportunity to unleash Shinra Tensei, creating a terrifying repulsive field to suppress Kirito.

With Kirito's current physical condition in Sage Mode, he can withstand Pain's full-power Shinra Tensei without harm, but his speed will inevitably be affected.

Left with no other choice, Kirito had to face Hashirama head-on with a punch.

He also used a superhuman strength punch!

"Bang!"

Two fists containing terrifying power collided head-on, and the force of the impact instantly created a terrifying shockwave that cracked the ground beneath them and stirred up a gale of over level 10 around them.

"Young man, your superhuman strength punches are pretty good too."

In the midst of the collision, a hearty and spirited voice reached Kirito's ears; it was none other than Sage Hashirama speaking.

"First Lord, can you speak?"

Kirito exclaimed in surprise.

"It didn't work before, but it works now. I guess that guy Ban is trying to distract you to buy him more time. Don't worry about it, just use your best skills to finish me off quickly."

"That bastard Madara is too powerful now. Bound by the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I can't defy his will."

"It's Hashirama the Sage," he continued.

As he spoke, relying on his extremely keen combat sense, he used the Body Flicker Technique without a seal to avoid a blue hand that suddenly reached out from Kirito's chest.

This is the soul ninjutsu that Kirito developed to counter the Impure World Reincarnation technique: Spirit Transformation Technique: Soul Stealing Hand. This soul ninjutsu can directly pull the soul out of the Impure World puppet's body.

Even if you can't tear it out, you can still rip open a part of the soul, damaging the enemy's soul.

"You already know, and you're still talking to me!"

Upon hearing the First Hokage's words, Kirito inwardly complained, while secretly marveling at the First Hokage's strength, which was far beyond that of the Second Hokage; his combat instincts were simply too sharp.

If we can't find an opportunity to temporarily suppress the First Hokage, it will be difficult to succeed with his soul ninjutsu.

"Young man, your soul ninjutsu is good, but it's still not fast enough. You need your companions to create opportunities for you. Fighting alone is not the best way for a ninja to fight."

Sage Hashirama gave instructions, then attacked again, clapping his hands together to release two wooden clones from his body.

As soon as the two wood clones appeared, they clapped their hands together and used Wood Release: Silent Killing Binding Technique to attack Kirito in conjunction with their main body.

Kirito had no choice but to retreat quickly, and then used Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique to fight back.

Pain, the Deva of the Sky, was not idle; he once again unleashed Shinra Tensei to suppress Kirito.

For a time, Kirito was entangled in the combined tactics of Pain and Hashirama, and couldn't spare much energy to deal with the Gedo Mazo.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Madara Uchiha continuously used the Rinnegan to assist the Gedo Mazo in quickly evolving into the Ten-Tails.

"As expected of Hashirama. Even though he is a puppet and not his true self, his combat ability is still admirable. Very good. Let's continue to entangle this guy and not give him a chance to condense that terrifying black sphere."

Madara Uchiha was full of praise when he saw that Sage Hashirama had successfully entangled Kirito, preventing Kirito from using Truth-Seeking Balls to deal with the Gedo Mazo.

As expected of his once evenly matched opponent, having him serve as a guard was indeed the right choice. Orochimaru and Hiruko's solution to the Impure World Reincarnation technique was also brilliant.

It's truly beyond my expectations that using White Zetsu as a sacrifice could increase Hashirama's strength to this extent.

But as long as the result is good, nothing else matters.

"Go, Hashirama, keep this junior occupied and buy me enough time. It's almost over. In just a little while, my dream will come true."

Madara Uchiha sensed that the Gedo Mazo was getting closer and closer to evolution, and he was extremely excited.

But suddenly, a deadly tremor struck.

A black arrow, like a bolt of black lightning, fell from his mouth, its target none other than him.

Madara Uchiha was about to use the Body Flicker Technique to dodge without hesitation, but before he could, a terrifying gravitational force struck, slowing down his use of the Body Flicker Technique by a fraction of a second.

But in that short time, the black arrow pierced his chest.

In an instant, Madara Uchiha felt his body rapidly collapsing, not only his body but also his soul.

"How could this be? Who released this black arrow? Kirito Tohsaka was clearly entangled by Hashirama and my Pain."

As his body and soul crumbled, Madara Uchiha was filled with doubt.

He was so close to success, and a strong sense of unwillingness to give up fueled his nerves.

High in the sky, the White Zetsu clone stared at Madara Uchiha, who was rapidly walking towards death, using the Tenseigan. Somewhat puzzled, it thought, "I didn't expect it to succeed so easily. Was it because I was too close to success that I became careless?"

Kirito's main body arrived at the battlefield first, followed closely by his White Zetsu clone.

In order to avoid being discovered by Madara Uchiha, the White Zetsu clone deliberately came from a height close to the atmosphere, and then used the Tenseigan's superhuman vision to keep an eye on the battle below.

In this way, Kirito and his White Zetsu clone achieved a balance of light and darkness.

Just now, taking advantage of the opening created by the main body attracting Madara Uchiha's attention, the White Zetsu clone decided to make its move and successfully killed Madara Uchiha with one clone.

However, Kirito still felt a little unreal that Madara Uchiha was killed so easily.

But no matter what, Madara Uchiha is now a living person, and that means he has a mortal body, unlike the Edo Tensei puppets, who, even if hit, only suffer damage to their souls and a part of their bodies cannot be repaired.

The reason why the Seeking the Dao Jade is so terrifying is that it contains the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, which can directly destroy the body and soul of a living being, and can be said to be an all-round annihilation.

Once any living being is killed by the Truth-Seeking Ball, it is likely to be completely dead.

Unless someone eats the fruit of the God Tree like Kaguya Otsutsuki and possesses the ability to break the destructive power of the Truth-Seeking Balls.

Truth-Seeking Balls are ultimately a type of ninjutsu. As long as one understands the principles behind their operation, there are ways to break them.

For example, Kirito can fuse the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, so he naturally has the ability to decompose the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements again.

Clearly, Madara Uchiha is not included in this category. Before becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha had not yet mastered the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements without a teacher, nor had he comprehended the Truth-Seeking Balls.

Therefore, Madara Uchiha, who was hit by the Truth-Seeking Ball, was doomed to die.

"Next up is that big guy."

The White Zetsu clone shifted its gaze to the Gedo Mazo, and a Truth-Seeking Ball behind him rapidly compressed into a black arrow according to his will.

But at that moment, he saw Madara Uchiha suddenly use his hands to gouge out the Rinnegan and Homura Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan from their eye sockets, and then throw them somewhere.

Then, a white Zetsu emerged from the ground and quickly caught the two eyes.

Upon seeing this, the white Zetsu clone felt a sense of foreboding.

He also noticed something through his own body: Pain and Hashirama Senju did not cease their operations despite Madara Uchiha's death.

This situation undoubtedly indicates that Madara Uchiha did not die, or that there were other people behind Pain and Hashirama Senju manipulating Pain.

Kirito's first thought was the cunning black Zetsu.

However, he quickly denied this, because the White Zetsu who used the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan that Madara Uchiha threw out before his death quickly transformed into Madara Uchiha's appearance, then swiftly removed his eyes and replaced them with the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan.

"That was close! I almost died. No, no, I really did die once. So this is what death feels like. The sensation was terrible. Although it was only for a moment, it felt like countless years had passed."

Madara Uchiha, transformed from White Zetsu, laughed wildly at the sky.

Hidden in the shadows, Black Zetsu was startled upon seeing this, realizing that things were beginning to go astray.

The cunning and knowledgeable creature already knew why Madara Uchiha hadn't truly died despite being hit by Truth-Seeking Balls: Madara Uchiha hadn't actually died completely.

Reincarnation!

Madara Uchiha has just used the immortality technique developed by Orochimaru.

After Orochimaru was captured by Madara Uchiha and the Rinne Reincarnation Seal was implanted in him, the immortality technique of Reanimation Jutsu naturally fell into Madara Uchiha's hands.

"When did he use this forbidden technique, and how many parts did he divide his soul into?"

Black Zetsu thought to himself, feeling distressed.

It is unaware of the matter of reincarnation.

This was undoubtedly a very bad sign for him, that is, Madara Uchiha no longer trusted him, and even began to doubt him.

Madara Uchiha, who used the Reanimation Jutsu, has to some extent escaped its control.

"Hehehe~, this piece is indeed difficult to control, but you will never escape my grasp. Once Mom is resurrected, no matter how many parts of your soul you divide, it will be useless. You will only face death."

Black Zetsu quickly composed himself and sneered inwardly.

It's true that Madara Uchiha's wariness of it is a bad thing, but from the current perspective, it's actually a good thing. It was just worried that Madara Uchiha wouldn't be able to hold on and that the plan would fail.

Now that Madara Uchiha has used the Reanimation Jutsu, eliminating the risk of being instantly killed by an ambush, the Eye of the Moon Plan can continue, and the enemy hiding in the shadows can no longer remain hidden.

Just as Black Zetsu was thinking this, Madara Uchiha had already activated the final form of Susanoo, and the four-armed Tengu warrior with wings quickly rushed into the sky.

Soon, Madara Uchiha discovered the White Zetsu clone hidden high in the sky.

"Oh, it's you! Should I say you're Hattori Masanari or Tohsaka Kirito?"

Madara Uchiha saw the White Zetsu clone, noticed its face and eyes, and then his Rinnegan flashed with a glint of light as he said with great surprise.

As the power of the Gedo Mazo grew stronger, so did the power of his Rinnegan, and his perception naturally increased accordingly, giving rise to new abilities.

One of these is seeing souls and keenly perceiving their differences, thus distinguishing between different souls.

At this moment, the soul within Hattori Masashige, the current leader of Amegakure, was exactly the same as that of Tohsaka Kirito. Although their soul power was quite different, their soul fluctuations were absolutely synchronized.

Therefore, it is clear that Hattori Masanari and Tohsaka Kirito are the same person; the former is a clone created by the latter using some kind of soul-splitting ninjutsu.

"It doesn't matter who it is, because you will cease to exist from now on, and no one will know this secret."

Seeing that Madara Uchiha had seen through his true identity, the White Zetsu clone stopped pretending and directly transformed into his original form, coldly saying...

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands forward, and a terrifying repulsive force was released from his hands.

Madara Uchiha instantly sensed the danger, and similarly put both hands together, unleashing a terrifying repulsive force!

Shinra Tensei VS Shinra Tensei!

Two terrifying repulsive forces collided, creating a massive explosion that generated a powerful shockwave that shattered all the clouds within a radius of several kilometers around them.

But a moment later, Madara Uchiha coughed up blood and staggered back, his body, which was formed from the fifth stage of Susanoo, was covered with cracks.

It is clear that Madara Uchiha lost in the recent Shinra Tensei battle.

"Hahaha~, so this is the power of the Tenseigan, huh? It lives up to its reputation. No wonder they say it can rival the Rinnegan."

Madara Uchiha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and laughed excitedly once again.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not recognize what those eyes of the White Zetsu clone, which were giving him such immense pressure, were?

It's really unexpected that Kirito Tohsaka obtained the power of the Tenseigan so early on. The giant Tenseigan placed in Konoha was clearly bait thrown out by Kirito Tohsaka to achieve his goal.

The world was deceived by this despicable Konoha ninja. He obtained the power of the Tenseigan early on and then quietly developed his strength, constantly growing stronger with the help of the Tenseigan.

"Luckily, I chose to launch the Eye of the Moon Project ahead of schedule. Otherwise, if I had waited longer, and this kid continued to explore the power of the Tenseigan, my chances of winning would definitely have been even lower than they are now."

Madara Uchiha secretly thought he was lucky.

Although this was his first time encountering the power of the Tenseigan, he already had a general understanding of how strong it was; it was definitely on par with the Rinnegan.

As the holder of the Rinnegan, he was well aware of the power of the ultimate eye. Although it was already very powerful when he first obtained it, its potential was obviously far greater.

For example, his Rinnegan, after being nurtured by him and Nagato, and then by the Gedo Mazo, is far more powerful than when it was first awakened.

Therefore, Kirito Tohsaka, who possesses the Tenseigan, must be in a phase of rapid growth in strength at this time. Not to mention that he is already very young, and even without the Tenseigan, his strength would be growing very quickly.

With these two factors combined, Madara Uchiha could no longer imagine what level Kirito Tohsaka's strength would reach in a few years. Compared to a few years from now, his Eye of the Moon plan would have absolutely no chance of success.

Kirito didn't care what Madara Uchiha was thinking at the moment. Taking advantage of Madara's defeat, he decisively swooped down and used the power of the Tenseigan to communicate with a humanoid puppet hidden ten kilometers away.

In an instant, a puppet that looked exactly like Kirito opened its eyes, which turned out to be a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

This humanoid puppet is the fourth powerful puppet that Kirito painstakingly created after the Thunder God Puppet, the Rock God Puppet, and the Grass God Puppet. Unlike the previous three puppets, it is the humanoid puppet that Kirito put the most effort into creating.

The reason is simple: the energy core of this humanoid puppet is Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

The latest design concept of the Mangekyou Sharingan hidden inside Thor's puppet was developed specifically to create it.

Using puppetry to harness the power of the Rinnegan is something Kirito has been trying to do ever since he obtained it, but unfortunately he has never succeeded because the darkness within the Rinnegan is too terrifying, making it extremely difficult for Kirito to control it.

It's not that he can't control it normally, but if he does, it will be difficult for him to control the White Zetsu clones at the same time, which will undoubtedly reduce his combat power instead of increasing it.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Tenseigan that this problem truly took a turn for the better.

The Tenseigan and Rinnegan are on the same level of power.

It is obvious that a single Rinnegan is difficult to contend with a pair of complete Tenseigan. Based on this situation, Kirito cleverly used the power of the Tenseigan to control puppets to suppress the Rinnegan, thereby achieving the ability to successfully control the Rinnegan.

However, the creation of the Rinnegan puppet is not yet fully complete, and Kirito still has many design concepts that he has not yet implemented in it.

For example, using the power of the Rinnegan, a Pain puppet could be created for the Rinnegan puppets.

Madara Uchiha's hasty implementation of the Eye of the Moon Plan caught Kirito completely off guard. Otherwise, given a few more months, he would have had the information to completely crush Madara Uchiha.

"Well, it's not too late now. It's time to put an end to everything and bring my sister and the others back to life. I can't keep them waiting too long."

The Rinnegan puppet spoke.

The next moment, he clapped his hands together, using the Rinnegan's ability to manipulate repulsive forces to enhance his body with the force, and then flew up, quickly heading towards the final battlefield.

On the other side, Madara Uchiha noticed that the White Zetsu clone was swooping down to harm the Gedo Mazo. He quickly followed, and huge blue tomoe wrapped in terrifying electric currents were released from the four-armed Tengu warrior, heading straight for the White Zetsu clone.

Magatama of Yasaka!

The white Zetsu clone ignored this and easily avoided the attacks of these blue tomoe during its dive.

Faced with the Tenseigan's powerful perception, these ordinary ninjutsu pose absolutely no threat to the White Zetsu clone.

Suddenly, a huge white beam of light struck, reaching the White Zetsu clone in the blink of an eye.

This is a terrifying beam of light released by Dust Release: Detachment of the Primal World.

After sensing that there were enemies hiding high in the sky, Madara Uchiha immediately dispatched the Second Tsuchikage Muto, who was hiding in the air and preparing to ambush the enemy, to meet them.

Despite the sudden attack of the Dust Release ninjutsu, the White Zetsu clone maintained a calm expression.

The Second Tsuchikage Mu's invisibility ninjutsu was indeed very sophisticated, but in the eyes of the Tenseigan, it was as bright as a fire in the dark night and could not be hidden at all.

Naturally, the Second Tsuchikage Mu's Dust Release was already within the White Zetsu clone's expectations. He neither dodged nor avoided it, and directly collided with the white beam of light.

But the result was that the White Zetsu clone was unharmed.

A green chakra ball appeared in front of his chest, and all the white light formed by Dust Release was absorbed by this green chakra ball.

"This is an ability similar to the Absorption Seal of the Preta Path Pain Sealing Technique."

Madara Uchiha, who was close behind, witnessed this scene and his expression darkened slightly.

The power of the Tenseigan is truly astonishing; the Second Tsuchikage's Dust Release card is now completely useless.

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

After eliminating the threat of Dust Release, one of the Truth-Seeking Balls behind the White Zetsu clone immediately transformed into a black arrow, poised to be fired.

Madara Uchiha decisively used Shinra Tensei: Absorption once again.

The terrifying suction force acted on the White Zetsu clone, causing his speed to slow down and affecting his control of the Truth-Seeking Balls, thus preventing him from successfully launching the Truth-Seeking Ball black arrow.

"It really worked. Although that black ball is incredibly powerful, it's not so easy to control."

Madara Uchiha was overjoyed to see that he had successfully stopped the enemy from attacking the Gedo Mazo with Truth-Seeking Balls. He then continued to keep a close eye on the White Zetsu clone, not giving it any opportunity to take advantage.

On the ground, Kirito's main body was engaged in a fierce battle with Sage Hashirama and Pain.

However, both sides have suffered losses in the battle so far.

Kirito had a deep fist mark on his chest, caused by taking a punch head-on from Sage Hashirama. Fortunately, he had learned the Slug Sage's Sage Art: Split, which eliminated his fatal weaknesses. Otherwise, that punch could have blown his entire body apart.

In return, Hashirama lost one of his legs.

Kirito seized the opportunity to use the Spirit Transformation Technique: Soul Stealing Hand on Hashirama Senju's soul. Although he failed to completely pull out Hashirama Senju's soul, he did tear off the soul of one of his legs.

After losing a leg, Hashirama's Edo Tensei body was unable to restore his leg, which greatly reduced Hashirama's mobility, allowing Kirito to gradually gain the upper hand in the battle.

"You've done a great job, Konoha's outstanding junior. If you keep fighting, you'll definitely be able to defeat me. Mito has truly trained a remarkable disciple. I'm very pleased."

After Hashirama once again narrowly avoided Kirito's Soul-Stealing Hand, he laughed happily and continued to mercilessly manipulate the giant Buddha statue to unleash a barrage of wooden fists at Kirito.

Wood Release: Top Transformation Buddha!

At this moment, Kirito, who was staring at Pain's Shinra Tensei Repulsive Force, had no choice but to retreat and dodge. He then said to Sage Hashirama, "First Hokage, I must offend you now."

"Oh~, are you about to unleash some powerful ninjutsu? Hurry up and show it to me. I've certainly caused you too much trouble. You don't need to worry too much, anyway, I'm already a dead man."

Upon hearing this, Sage Hashirama replied with a carefree expression.

Although he doesn't know what Madara is going to do yet, judging from Madara's decision to let that terrifying stone statue absorb the chakra of the nine tailed beasts and Madara's current depraved and insane personality, it is definitely not a good thing for the ninja world.

He did indeed break free quickly, at least he could no longer be forced by Madara Uchiha to be his accomplice.

Upon hearing Kirito's words, Pain, who was in mid-air, immediately diverted some of his attention to the sky. He was Madara Uchiha, and since he could use his Rinnegan to provide vision, he naturally understood that Kirito's powerful clone was rapidly approaching.

Hashirama Senju is currently a crucial fighting force for him. Once he is defeated by Kirito Tohsaka, it will be difficult for him to hold off Kirito's main body.

There are only about two minutes left until the Gedo Mazo completes its evolution; he must hold on.

With this thought in mind, Pain decisively clapped his hands together, and coffins appeared on the ground. As the coffin lids fell, ninjas who had made a name for themselves in the ninja world walked out from them.

These are hundreds of Jonin-level Edo Tensei puppets, some of whom are even Kage-level powerhouses.

Madara Uchiha originally thought that these "weak" Edo Tensei puppets would not play any key role in this battle, and might even be a hindrance, so he didn't bother to summon them.

But now, we're just trying anything, even if it seems hopeless.

"Go kill him."

Pain shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the resurrected Edo Tensei ninjas charged at Kirito and unleashed a variety of ninjutsu attacks.

Kirito frowned slightly as he watched these reanimated ninjas charge towards him. He knew that these reanimated ninjas were used by Madara Uchiha to buy time, but unfortunately, he didn't know them.

Even if these reanimated ninjas are weak, it will still take time to deal with them.

"Listen up, all White Zetsu! Come out and surround and kill Kirito Tohsaka!"

Pain, the God of Pain, spoke loudly once more.

The next moment, one by one, White Zetsu emerged from the ground and charged towards Kirito while shouting "Madara-sama!" Some of the White Zetsu even combined together, transforming into giant monsters with three heads and six arms.

In an instant, Kirito was surrounded by a sea of ​​people.

As numerous reanimated ninjas and White Zetsu launched suicidal attacks, Kirito's heart sank. He immediately clapped his hands together, and a large number of tree roots appeared on the ground around him.

These tree roots quickly entangled and crushed the attacking Edo Tensei puppets and White Zetsu.

Wood Release: The World of Flower Trees Descends!

However, there were simply too many White Zetsu, and they all possessed the ability to move quickly through trees and soil, making it difficult for Wood Release ninjutsu to eliminate them.

With Hashirama Senju also obstructing them, it became even more difficult to eliminate these White Zetsu.

Upon seeing this, Kirito's heart stirred, and a terrifying wave of Shukaku chakra suddenly erupted from his body, causing the ground beneath him to rapidly turn into sand.

Sand Release: Desert!

This is a ninjutsu that Kirito developed by combining the chakra of the One-Tailed Shukaku, which can quickly change the terrain.

In just a few seconds, the land within a one-kilometer radius turned into a desert, and a large number of White Zetsu and Edo Tensei puppets were trapped in the sand and then bound.

Taking advantage of the moment, Kirito decisively used the sealing technique: Sand Seal.

Pyramids formed of sand quickly appeared, sealing away a large number of White Zetsu and Edo Tensei golems.

However, Pain and Hashirama did not stand idly by and decisively took action to destroy these sand pyramids.

Pain used Shinra Tensei, while Hashirama used Wood Release: Descent of the Flower Tree World.

But just as the two were about to cause destruction, a blue chakra ball suddenly appeared, releasing astonishing light and heat.

"Bang!"

A massive explosion followed, and a huge mushroom cloud was created.

This sudden and terrifying explosion wiped out all the thousands of White Zetsu surrounding Kirito, and Pain and Hashirama were also affected by the explosion.

In the sky, Madara Uchiha, who was already close to the ground, also noticed the sudden and terrifying explosion on the ground, and his heart sank rapidly.

He understood that this must be another of Kirito Tohsaka's backup plans.

Then, he suddenly felt an extremely familiar sensation, and then showed an expression of surprise and joy.

He sensed that his other Rinnegan was rapidly approaching.

But soon, his mood soured again.

Since his other Rinnegan is in Kirito Tohsaka's possession, the fact that this Rinnegan has come to him on its own means undoubtedly indicates that it may have already been used by Kirito Tohsaka.

For a moment, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration, but he quickly put that feeling out of his mind.

So what if his Rinnegan is being used!

The Gedo Mazo is less than a minute away from evolving into the Ten-Tails.

He can definitely get through this.

Hashirama was blasted halfway through his body by the sudden explosion, but due to the special nature of the Edo Tensei, his body was rapidly recovering. Pieces of something resembling film quickly gathered on his body and then combined to form his body.

Suddenly, a blue hand emerged from the depths of the ground behind him and pierced through his chest.

Pain noticed this and was about to intervene to help, but he was struck by a terrifying repulsive force and his entire body was sent flying. He could only watch helplessly as Hashirama Senju's soul was forcibly pulled out of his Edo Tensei body by Kirito Tohsaka.

"Thanks, Kirito. I feel much better now. I'll leave the rest to you. Don't come down to keep us old folks company too soon, hahaha~"

Hashirama Senju's soul stretched out its physical body, smiled at Kirito, and then vanished into the air, becoming a Buddha.

"That damned Kirito Tohsaka."

Upon seeing this, Madara Uchiha's eyes widened in fury.

But what angered and frustrated him even more was the appearance of a new Kirito Tohsaka who grabbed his Pain and tore it in two.

His Deva Path Pain was thus damaged.

Then, he saw the three Kiritos simultaneously condense a small black ball and then shoot it at the Gedo Mazo.

It's just a few dozen seconds away.

Madara Uchiha decisively pulled out another three-tomoe Sharingan and used Izanagi, once again successfully reversing the crisis of the Gedo Mazo being destroyed by Truth-Seeking Balls.

However, the attacks from Kirito's main body, his White Zetsu clone, and the Rinnegan puppet did not stop.

Not only that, the White Zetsu clone turned around to prevent Madara Uchiha from using Izanagi, and sneered, "You're the one who has to accept reality, Madara Uchiha. Your plan is doomed to fail."

"No, you can't do this."

Madara Uchiha was unable to use Izanagi smoothly due to the obstruction of the White Zetsu clone, and shouted angrily.

But no matter how angry and unwilling he was, he could only watch helplessly as the Gedo Mazo was struck by the two Truth-Seeking Balls and then released a massive amount of chakra amidst screams.

The evolution that was so close to transforming into the Ten-Tails was ultimately interrupted.

Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan has come to an end.

Seeing the Gedo Mazo fail to evolve, Madara Uchiha's heart was filled with despair, and then his eyes revealed extreme madness.

His plan, which he had prepared for decades and to which he had given up everything, was gone just like that.

What's the point of him living?

Kirito Tohsaka, that damned bastard, he has to die.

Upon realizing this, Madara Uchiha immediately used the Shadow Clone Technique to summon two shadow clones, and then a terrifying black chakra erupted from his body.

A gigantic phantom of the Grim Reaper suddenly appeared behind Madara Uchiha.

"The Corpse Demon Sealing Technique, it seems you've truly gone mad."

Kirito instantly recognized the ninjutsu that Madara Uchiha was using and sneered.

"Come to hell with me and be buried with me."

Madara Uchiha roared furiously, and then a terrifying demonic hand shot out from his stomach, trying to seize Kirito's soul.

The ghost hand seemed to have the ability to penetrate space.

Kirito was unable to dodge the attack, and his soul was struck by the demon's hand.

But he remained completely calm, looking at Madara Uchiha with a pitying gaze.

Is his soul so easily targeted?

Was his spiritualization technique learned in vain?

As expected, to Madara Uchiha's astonishment, the Shinigami's Oni-gathering was still unable to pull Kirito's soul out of his body.

At this moment, his soul was being rapidly depleted.

Because the powerful soul-sealing technique, the Reaper Death Seal, is released at the cost of the caster's soul, regardless of whether the enemy is successfully sealed, the caster must pay the price of their soul to the Grim Reaper.

Thus, in just over ten seconds, Madara Uchiha's soul was completely absorbed by the Shinigami. Unable to successfully extract Kirito's soul, the Shinigami could only disappear with a cold gaze.

"Is it finally over?"

Kirito looked at Madara Uchiha's completely soulless corpse and asked in confusion.

Then, he turned to look at the broken body of the Outer Path Demon Statue, which had stopped evolving, and the pressure in his heart finally dissipated.

"Wait, where's Black Zetsu? Is that old schemer really going to accept defeat so easily?"

The next moment, the image of Black Zetsu, the true mastermind who had been slow to appear, popped into Kirito's mind.

It must be said that Black Zetsu's ability to hide is extremely powerful. Even the Tenseigan has difficulty finding it. It is like a shadow, completely integrated with the shadow, making it impossible for anyone to detect.

"This thing has always been very patient. It's normal for it to give up this time since it didn't work out. But as long as we completely destroy the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, it will have no chance left."

Kirito quickly came to terms with it, and then, with a thought, he, his White Zetsu clone, and the Rinnegan puppet all condensed a Truth-Seeking Ball, preparing to completely destroy the remains of the Gedo Mazo.

As expected of the Ten-Tails' hull, the Gedo Statue did not perish instantly like an ordinary creature even when attacked by Truth-Seeking Balls. Only a part of its body was corroded and damaged, and a large amount of chakra escaped from these damaged parts.

Kirito estimated that even if he left the Gedo Mazo unattended, its massive chakra would completely leak out within a minute or two.

At that time, the tailed beasts that he has absorbed and devoured will naturally be reborn in nature.

Just as the Seeking the Way Jade was about to be released again, a strong sense of impending doom struck.

Kirito tried to use his Lightning Transformation Technique to dodge without thinking, but found that he couldn't move his body.

"Hehehe~, it's really not easy, I've finally found an opportunity."

The next second, a cold voice came from the shadow beneath Kirito.

Then, a black thing crawled out of Kirito's shadow and quickly covered Kirito's body.

At this moment, Kirito felt his entire body begin to lose control. He was finally able to understand how Madara Uchiha felt when he was ambushed by Black Zetsu in the original story. It was an absolute sense of despair and powerlessness.

The kind of ninjutsu Black Zetsu possesses that allows him to possess other people's bodies is truly terrifying.

The offspring born to Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had lived for thousands of years, just before being sealed away, was indeed extraordinary.

"Kirito Tohsaka, now that Madara Uchiha is gone, you will take his place and complete the final Eye of the Moon Plan."

Kirito's mouth started talking uncontrollably.

Then, his body began to move uncontrollably. He walked to Madara Uchiha's corpse, took out his Rinnegan, and then inserted one hand into the Rinnegan puppet's chest to take out another Rinnegan.

After obtaining the two Rinnegan, Black Zetsu forcibly manipulated Kirito's body to remove the two eyes and then reattach the Rinnegan.

After doing all this, Black Zetsu laughed loudly: "Hahaha~, this kid, the Rinnegan is all here, then let's continue the Eye of the Moon Plan, stand up again, Gedo Mazo."

As he spoke, he took out Uchiha Homura's Sharingan, which had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and used Izanagi.

The power of Izanagi, which is used by sacrificing the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, is far beyond that of the ordinary three-tomoe Sharingan. The Gedo Mazo, which was originally damaged by the Truth-Seeking Balls, was restored in the blink of an eye and successfully transformed into the Ten-Tails.

Upon seeing this, Black Zetsu was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Mom, I can finally see you again!"

The Gedo Mazo, which had transformed into the Ten-Tails, seemed to hear Black Zetsu's summons. A long white rod shot out from it and quickly struck Kirito's body, connecting with it.

In an instant, a power far beyond Kirito's imagination surged into his body.

At the same time, a strange consciousness was born within him.

"Sigh, let's leave it at that."

An aged voice suddenly appeared, and the voice came from a White Zetsu clone that had temporarily lost consciousness due to Kirito's main body being controlled.

Upon hearing this voice, Black Zetsu roared angrily, "Sage of Six Paths, you old bastard, you're not completely dead after all!"

Upon hearing this, the white-haired clone asked in surprise, "You actually know me? Who exactly are you?"

The Sage of Six Paths was not completely dead. He remained in the Pure Land, silently watching over the Ninja World and observing the endless cycle of reincarnation between his two children.

He never expected that his mother's resurrection would be like this.

He had long foreseen that his mother would be resurrected, but he thought that his descendants would reseal her. However, his mother was about to be resurrected. Instead of Ashura and Indra's reincarnations joining forces to reseal his mother, a native ninja named Kirito Tohsaka took on this important task.

Unfortunately, nearing the final step, this Konoha ninja ultimately failed, ambushed and killed by this evil entity.

He had to descend through the body that now possessed his bloodline and unleash his last remaining power.

"Hehehe~, of course I know you, but never mind, if I want to teach you a lesson, I'll wait for Mom to come. She's already woken up and will be able to see you again soon."

Black Zetsu, controlling Kirito's body, sneered.

At this moment, the Ten-Tails' enormous body was rapidly merging into Kirito's body, making him a true Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

The Sage of Six Paths was not about to let Black Zetsu have his way, and decisively made his move, preparing to unleash Six Paths: Planetary Devastation.

However, Black Zetsu immediately manipulated Kirito's body to use the Lightning Transformation Technique, quickly escaping and preventing the Sage of Six Paths from achieving his goal.

Upon seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths sighed inwardly.

Although he temporarily occupied the body of the White Zetsu clone, he was ultimately a person who had been dead for thousands of years. His soul was very weak, and he only had a small part of the power of the Six Paths left to prolong his life. It was impossible for him to restore his former peak combat power.

"Is bringing Mother back to life the only option?"

The Sage of Six Paths sighed inwardly.

He even knew what the world's fate would be if his mother were resurrected—it would only lead to destruction.

But who can save the ninja world now?

"Hey, grandpa, isn't it a bit unethical to invade someone else's body without permission?"

A voice tinged with annoyance suddenly appeared in the Sage of Six Paths' soul.

Upon hearing this voice, the Sage of Six Paths was not surprised but delighted. Then, in the soul space within White Zetsu's body, the Sage of Six Paths met Kirito.

"Young man, you actually broke free from that thing's restraints, that's wonderful! Quickly take control of this body to stop the enemy. You possess the Tenseigan power at the pinnacle of the Hamura bloodline, you're sure to be able to thwart the enemy's plot."

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Kirito and urged him on.

"Don't worry, the main body isn't that weak. Just wait and see, that thing's attempt to control the main body is definitely the most regrettable thing he's ever done."

Kirito's soul clone sneered, his voice filled with immense confidence.

The Sage of Six Paths had absolutely no idea where Kirito's confidence came from. Now that his mother's resurrection was just around the corner, couldn't he be a little more cautious?

In reality, Black Zetsu still firmly controls Kirito's physical body with his unique abilities, giving him no chance to stop Kaguya Otsutsuki from being resurrected from his body.

Soon, Kirito completely absorbed the Ten-Tails into his body, causing a huge change in his appearance. His skin turned pale white like that of the Otsutsuki clan, and his hair also turned white.

Immediately afterwards, a pale white outer garment appeared on his body, with a large number of black magatama arranged neatly on its surface. Truth-Seeking Balls also appeared on his back, and he held a staff formed from Truth-Seeking Balls in his hand.

He became the second Sage of Six Paths after Hamura Otsutsuki.

However, the consciousness that was born within him was growing rapidly, using his body as nourishment to thrive.

If he doesn't save himself soon, he will become nourishment for others in less than ten seconds.

"Great, Mom, you're back to life!"

Black Zetsu had already sensed Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness and was immediately overwhelmed with excitement.

It had waited for this day for far too long, countless days and nights. Although it was a long-lived creature and time meant little to it, the loneliness was unbearable.

Finally, it's about to succeed.

This is really great.

"Wait a minute, you piece of trash, aren't you going to ask for my opinion?"

Just as Black Zetsu was filled with excitement, a cold voice instantly jolted it awake.

"How dare you speak? I had completely subdued you."

Black Zetsu said, utterly shocked.

The ninjutsu it used on Kirito was a ninjutsu it was born with. It was a Yin Release ninjutsu that combined Yin and Yang Release and was used to forcibly and temporarily suppress and occupy the mind of another person.

It was very confident in its ninjutsu because, through day after day of training in Yin Release, and because it was a special creature formed from Yin Release chakra, its Yin Release level was arguably the strongest in the ninja world. Even its mother and the Sage of Six Paths might not have been much better at understanding Yin Release than it.

It's utterly unbelievable that this human can speak even under the suppression of its Yin Release ninjutsu.

"Suppress? Ah, yes, yes, I was indeed suppressed by you, you bastard, for your lack of martial ethics. Your ninjutsu is really amazing, it can even temporarily suppress someone with such a powerful soul like me. Too bad, you've met me."

Kirito sneered, and then a powerful Sage Art: Yin Release Chakra erupted from his body, and the Black Zetsu covering Kirito began to peel away little by little.

Why was he able to break free from Black Zetsu's Yin Release ninjutsu suppression?

The reason is simple: he is a cheat code. His Yin Release level was already level five long ago, and he is not far from level six. He has accumulated enough enhancement points without realizing it.

The fates of characters from the original story, such as the Third Hokage, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Sakumo Hatake, Dan Kato, and the Third Raikage, were greatly altered due to his influence.

This allowed him to accumulate over twenty enhancement points.

However, given his current level of strength, enhancement points are no longer of much use to him. He can rely on his comprehension to continue to rapidly improve his various abilities, so he has been saving his enhancement points.

Unexpectedly, this accumulated knowledge played a crucial role at a critical juncture.

Even when his body is unable to move, the system can still function normally.

Therefore, after discovering that the ninjutsu Black Jutsu used against him was Yin Release, he decisively added all his enhancement points to Yin Release, raising it to level nine in one go.

His level nine Yin Release allowed him to reach an unprecedented level of mastery over Yin Release techniques, which greatly helped him analyze Black Zetsu's Yin Release ninjutsu. In just one minute, he successfully regained control of a part of his body, just as Black Zetsu was about to be expelled from his body.

"No, you can't send me away! My mother is waiting for me!" Black Zetsu shouted angrily as he realized the situation was getting out of control, doing everything in his power to prevent Kirito from regaining control of his body.

"Idiot, do you think I don't exist?"

The next moment, another voice appeared in Black Zetsu's ears, which quickly filled it with despair and made it extremely regretful that it had not destroyed the White Zetsu clone immediately after taking control of Kirito's body.

In the end, it committed the same sin of arrogance as Madara Uchiha, which is perhaps why it has always looked down on and toyed with the sacrifices of humanity.

Having regained control of his body, the White Zetsu clone swiftly appeared before Black Zetsu, and a blue chakra chain shot out from his hand, rapidly converging on Black Zetsu's jet-black body.

In an instant, Black Zetsu convulsed and detached from Kirito's body.

At the same time, Kirito closed his eyes, his entire attention focused on a certain mental space within his body.

Here, Kirito saw a dignified woman with white eyes and white hair.

She was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki. She had fully awakened, but unfortunately, she could no longer use Kirito's body to return to the ninja world.

Chains of chakra, emanating the energy of either Yin Release or Yang Release, bound her tightly, sealing her away.

Immortal Techniques - Six Paths - Yin-Yang Seal!

"Human, who are you?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki now understood that Black Zetsu's attempt to revive her had completely failed, but she seemed unconcerned and asked calmly.

Although her time in waking up was brief, it was enough for her to learn many things. For example, the young human in front of her was the culprit who caused her resurrection to fail, and a mere native human had comprehended the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements at such a young age, and even obtained the power of the Reincarnation Eye.

She had to look at this native human in a new light; he was probably the strongest human in the history of this world.

Such a powerful person deserves Kaguya Otsutsuki's respect.

Kirito replied with the same calm expression, "Tosaka Kirito." (End of Chapter)
