I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 425 Three Battles at Completely Different Levels

The Konoha ninjas didn't recognize the Sage of Six Paths, but Masayo Miwa did.

Hundreds of three-wheeled Yasuo laughed loudly: "Sage of Six Paths, so you were here all along! You actually fell for it too!"

"Is this a real-life version of 'curiosity killed the cat'?"

The Sage of Six Paths was naturally in a terrible mood after being so humiliated, and asked with murderous intent, "Where is Uchiha Yu, the Sage of Miwa Masayo?"

Masayo Miwa's smile faded, and he replied seriously, "Yu wants to deal with the real enemy, meow."

"The real enemy... it turns out I'm no longer even considered a threat by him."

The Sage of Six Paths said self-deprecatingly, "That's true. I don't even know how I got beaten by this kid, or why my strength was sealed. How can I be compared to him?"

"It's alright, it's just a temporary ban, it will be restored on its own after a while, but I don't think you'll give me that time to recover."

He raised his head. "So, you're my enemy?"

Miwa Masase said seriously, "Yes, meow. Since the Sage of Six Paths' strength has been weakened to such an extent, I can deal with you, meow."

"And everyone else can handle Uchiha Madara. As for that dark clown, Yu says it's no big deal, meow."

The Sage of Six Paths, his gaunt face etched with wrinkles, revealed an unpleasant smile: "You're right, Black Zetsu is indeed a clown."

"But I seem to be a clown too, a clown who got played by the two of you!"

The two immortals spoke frankly and clearly, leaving the Konoha ninjas watching completely stunned.

Several of the resurrected individuals who had long resided in Huaguo Mountain, as well as two Uchiha ninjas who had received instruction from Uchiha Yu, had actually heard of the Sage of Six Paths.

But they all treated this valuable intelligence as myth, at most as stories to broaden their horizons, rather than as facts that needed to be taken seriously.

Ultimately, it's about not believing.

But now that they had met the real Sage of Six Paths, and that the information they had received was not just a story, the ninjas were naturally dumbfounded.

Not to mention that in their education, the Sage of Six Paths was the origin of ninjas, and they spontaneously regarded themselves as descendants of the Sage of Six Paths. However, the real Sage of Six Paths was actually opposed to them.

The Konoha ninjas were devastated by this cruel reality, their values ​​shattered on the spot, and they could only wait for a slow rebuilding process.

If even a ninja who learned the real information from Uchiha Yu was like this, then Uchiha Madara and the other three legendary Sannin of Konoha who knew nothing about it were even more confused.

While the ninjas were still in a daze, the battle between the Sage of Six Paths and Masayo Miwa suddenly broke out.

Hundreds of cat sages vanished instantly, while Hagoromo Otsutsuki spread his arms and quickly became ethereal, dodging hundreds of dazzling white claws.

The Sage of Six Paths' voice rang out: "A wondrous spatial ability wielded using flames, and it has been elevated to the level of Sage Art."

"The white flames can actually burn through space; that's really dangerous."

Miwa Masayo replied, "The Sage of Six Paths is also very strong, meow, and your power is closer to that of the Otsutsuki clan than before, meow."

"Hmm, there's also a pure and peaceful aura of death. It feels like you'd die if you touched it. How dangerous, meow."

The Sage of Six Paths was silent for a moment, then said, as if questioning but also confirming, "More like me than before... Could it be that you've seen me in ancient times?"

Miwa Masashi chuckled, "Guess what, meow."

The entire battlefield suddenly began to tremble, and the battle, unseen by the ninjas, seemed to intensify.

Uchiha Yu's law-based attacks can suppress power and life levels, but they cannot suppress the intelligence, experience, and combat wisdom of intelligent races.

Especially the power of the Sage of Six Paths, every bit of which he cultivated with great effort, cannot be suppressed or weakened to the point of collapse.

The battle between the two great immortals was entirely based on spatial abilities, and their combat level exceeded the Six Paths level, reaching a point where the ninjas could not detect it at all.

Only the Second and Fifth Hokage, who possessed powerful spatial abilities, could barely sense the intense battle between the two sages taking place in this yet different space.

Suddenly, Nawaki, who hadn't been able to join the fight, asked, "Um, Grandfather, should we...should we still fight?"

Nawaki was asking about Hashirama Senju, but his eyes were fixed on Madara Uchiha.

Not only him, but all the Konoha ninjas were watching Uchiha Madara. They even formed an orderly battle formation, ready for battle.

Madara Uchiha scanned each Konoha ninja, finally looking at Hashirama Senju and sneering, "You want to fight me?"

Madara Uchiha seemed to have lost all fighting spirit, and said dejectedly in a low voice, "We are worthless ants, just the background of other people's battles... nothing more."

Madara Uchiha's words were so real and cruel that the deep-thinking Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru looked gloomy, while the cheerful Hashirama Senju and the sunny Minato Namikaze remained silent. Even the most innocent Nawaki was speechless.

Before Hashirama Senju could speak, Ayumi Uchiha stepped forward and firmly declared, "Of course we must fight!!"

"Although it is almost meaningless for us to fight to the death now, no matter who wins in the end, it will not determine the final outcome."

"The only battles that can determine the outcome of the war are the battle between the Sage of Six Paths and the Sage of Miwa Masayo, and the battle between Uchiha Yu... the Sage and that unknown enemy."

"Although the outcome of their battle was decisive, our battle was not meaningless."

The Sixth Hokage, Uchiha Shisui, continued, "Yes, no matter how small our efforts may be, it is not a reason for us to lie down and wait for others to work hard!"

The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, chuckled and said, "If the Uchiha ninjas have such courage, then the Senju clan ninjas are no cowards either."

The Fifth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, smiled, his smile as bright as the sun: "As Hokage, I will never lose the courage to fight."

The Fourth Hokage, Orochimaru, smiled sweetly: "If we don't fight, I'd be too embarrassed to take the spoils from you."

"A powerful ninja at the Six Paths level, possessing only three pairs of Rinnegan—these are all incredibly tempting treasures."

Sakumo Hatake gripped his short sword tightly: "I can't interfere in battles at a higher level, but I will never miss a battle that I can participate in."

Hearing the Konoha ninjas' words, Hashirama Senju's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He laughed heartily and said, "Madara, Konoha is excellent, and the spirit of fire is excellent."

Madara Uchiha suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Very well, very well then, let's have our own proper battle!"

"Don't think you can beat me just because you outnumber me!"

"I will show you that, aside from the unseen monsters, Madara Uchiha is the strongest ninja in the ninja world!"

Wood Release: Wood Clone

Thick tree roots grew from Madara Uchiha's body and instantly transformed into 25 wood clones, each possessing abundant chakra and a powerful aura.

Then, 25 enormous Susanoo, each over 100 meters tall, rose from the ground, surrounding the largest Susanoo at the center, the Karasu Tengu, like a mountain range with 26 peaks, pressing down on the Konoha ninja.

The courageous Konoha ninjas showed no weakness, each unleashing their most powerful techniques as they charged towards the towering Susanoo horde.

The earth trembled, lightning flashed in the air, the Wood Release giant collided with Susanoo, and various bloodline limits erupted wildly.

The highest level of ninja battle in the ninja world has broken out. This is an unprecedented ninja battle, and even the Sage of Six Paths and the Sage of Miwa Masayo, who are fighting fiercely in space, are inevitably affected.

……

However, their battles cannot interfere with higher-level battles, especially the grand battles that break out outside the world.

After Uchiha Yu unleashed a single strike of the law in the ninja world, taking Senju Hashirama as the unit, he handed over the ninja world and the Sage of Six Paths to Miwa Masayo. He then opened the Gate of the World and retrieved the World Body from outside the gate.

He possessed a world body forged from two different timelines, a mind body accumulated little by little through years of research into the natural energy that had unknowingly seeped into the depths of the dragon vein, and the power of faith residing in the body of the disguised god. He gathered these scattered powers into himself and completely fused them into the most complete Uchiha Yu.

The process of gathering all his power was also a process of rediscovering himself, and his power gradually rose to the upper limit allowed by the laws of the ninja world.

Beyond all parallel universes, the Otsutsuki Shibakai is rapidly approaching.

His power has always remained at the upper limit allowed by the laws. It is unknown how many years he has accumulated or how many chakra fruits he has consumed to have such a terrifying level of power.

You must understand, he traveled countless light-years from outside of cause and effect to get close to the ninja world.

Although Uchiha Yu and Otsutsuki Shibakai could fold and compress time and space at will, condensing a long journey into a very short time, the price they paid for this was that they had to consume more energy.

Uchiha Yu had only been back in the ninja world for a short time when Otsutsuki Shibai came looking for him. The extra price he paid for this was beyond anything Uchiha Yu could have imagined.

"Fortunately, the laws of this world determine the upper limit of power. Everyone can only output a fixed value of energy during battle. Otherwise, I probably would not have had any chance of winning."

Standing on high, Uchiha Yu muttered to himself, "Only a tribulation like this is worthy of me. Worthy of a tremendous leap to a higher dimension. After defeating Otsutsuki Shibakai, I can ascend with a clear conscience."

"Otherwise, I always feel uneasy, just like when I faced the Fourth Mizukage in the Land of Rivers in the South China Sea. The insignificant Human Tribulation always gave me a sense of unreality."

He was talking to himself, so he spoke very softly, thinking that no one would hear him.

But Uchiha Yu forgot that things are different now. In this world, he is the true "He". His words do not rely on air as a medium, but directly on space and laws.

Uchiha Yu's self-talk was clearly heard by Otsutsuki Shibakai. He learned the language of the ninja world from those few words and even understood the deeper meaning of the words.

However, Ōtsutsuki Shibai could not understand what "human tribulation" was, and he understood even less about the relationship between "human tribulation" and ascension.

But His intuition, stemming from a semi-higher-dimensional being, told Him that this word was the key—the key to His detachment from the real world and His complete entry into higher dimensions.

As the king of the Otsutsuki clan, He was accustomed to acquiring everything through plunder, whether it was resources or intelligence; His abilities supported His plundering.

Kill him, steal his memories, and I will gain true advancement!

Uchiha Yu sensed Otsutsuki Shibakai's murderous aura and knew that he had already decided to kill her. He abandoned all his concerns and made him his target.

He smiled.

The plan to disguise the prey was successful; there's no need to disguise anymore.

Because the two insects from the higher-dimensional world appeared so enormous in this world, although they didn't have the suffocating feeling of having their heads stuck in a vat like in the ninja world, every movement they made, whether flipping or turning, seemed extremely difficult.

Now that they've come this close, escape is impossible for either of them; they can only fight to the bitter end.

In other words, their battle can only be decided quickly, which would obviously be a disadvantage for the well-established Otsutsuki Shibaki.

As Otsutsuki Shibakai approached the ninja world, he entered the causal realm unique to the ninja world. Due to his enormous size and the countless beings he created, he gradually lost his transcendent and independent status and gradually merged into the current time and space.

As the causal entanglements of the Ōtsutsuki Shibaikō become increasingly entangled, the untouchability inherent in its extremely long distance and high-dimensional status gradually weakens, representing a dimensional reduction at the level of rules.

He is descending from the sacred and untouchable height of a deity to the mundane human world.

From Uchiha Yu's perspective, the other party's image became clearer and clearer, and the uncertainty surrounding their existence slowly disappeared.

Despite the growing aura of a top-tier predator unique to Otsutsuki Shibakai, which gave Uchiha Yu a headache from the stimulation of his dangerous instincts, he also became a prey that could be approached and defeated.

Uchiha Yu subconsciously wanted to lick his lips, but found that his World Body had not yet manifested a face. He could only smile and think: the Otsutsuki King was more dangerous than he had imagined, but also more bloated and stupid. The gains from killing Him would probably be beyond imagination.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Uchiha Yu's greed was still aroused.

Neither of the two clumsy semi-high-dimensional life forms had learned to hide their emotions in the new environment. When they got close enough to face each other, Uchiha Yu's killing intent was sensed by Otsutsuki Shibakai.

Both harbor the desire to devour each other, and both realize that they cannot escape from this world, so they have no choice but to fight to the death.

Uchiha Yuu did not use ninjutsu or sage techniques, and Otsutsuki Shibai did not use divine techniques or the Divine Tree. They collided and squeezed each other like two wild beasts.

At the same time, they evolved countless heads to tear at each other, grew countless pincers and claws to tear apart, and differentiated into countless tiny life forms to infiltrate.

The battle between the two was fierce and massive, yet it went unnoticed by the humans of the ninja world, but it caused a tremendous shock to the world planes they each relied on.

Yes, although the two semi-high-dimensional beings engaged in a direct battle that could be described as being nested within each other's bodies, their standpoints were completely different due to their different perspectives on the world.

Based on their different understandings of life from birth to leaving their original world, Uchiha Yu transcended the world through time, while Otsutsuki Shibakai transcended it through spatial distance.

The aftershocks of the battle generated by the Ōtsutsuki Shibakai spread in the form of spatial waves, disrupting the operation of galaxies over an unknown area. A larger-scale disaster was beginning to brew, but its specific manifestation would take time.

That will be a long time.

Comparatively speaking, the impact of Uchiha Yu was more direct. The aftershocks he generated in the battle created a massive wave in the river of time, affecting the historical processes of countless parallel worlds.

The already turbulent parallel worlds of the ninja world were thrown into chaos. Countless timelines suffered annihilation in the violent temporal tremors, ending their existence and becoming doomed timelines.

More parallel universes have split into new ones, and many similar universes have attracted and merged with each other.

What is most surprising is that amidst the chaos, new dimensions emerged that broke free from the shackles of the Otsutsuki family, and they all displayed vigorous vitality, rapidly developing in a broader direction.

Destruction and rebirth occur simultaneously within the spacetime confluence of the ninja world.

Gradually, the spacetime oscillations weakened, or even disappeared completely, and the chaos in the parallel spacetime clusters gradually subsided.

However, the battle between Uchiha Yu and Otsutsuki Shibai did not end; it simply changed during the battle phase.

The two higher-dimensional beings frequently tore at each other during the battle, continuously injecting their own information into each other's bodies. When each of them possessed information about the other that was difficult to destroy, the battle entered an even more brutal stage of mutual devouring.

Both sides felt they were going to win because the competition had now entered the spectator level, where it was a contest of their fundamental strengths, leaving no room for fancy techniques.

Otsutsuki Shibayo firmly believed that he had lived for tens of thousands of years, that the spirit forged by time was incredibly resilient, and that the resources accumulated over those millennia were immensely abundant.

There is absolutely no life form in this dimension that can approach Him in terms of its fundamental nature.

Uchiha Yu believes that although the difference in their lifespans is huge, he was fortunate enough to witness the revival of a great civilization. The accumulation of a thousand years is not just a boring ordeal for him alone, but a chance to savor and reflect on the greatness.

Although his energy accumulation was not as great as that of Otsutsuki Shibayo, his mental fortitude was no less than that of his opponent, and his vitality far surpassed that of this ancient old man.

Otsutsuki Shibai & Uchiha Yu: [I've got this in the bag!]

The mutual devouring intensified, but the situation remained essentially at a stalemate.

Just as they each thought, the Otsutsuki Shibaju had a powerful foundation and was on a full-scale offensive.

Uchiha Yu responded flexibly, countering with greater efficiency in erosion, and never fell behind.

Unbeknownst to them, chaos radiated from their almost fused bodies. Time became chaotic, space became chaotic, and even the most stable matter underwent indescribable mutations.

As time went on, even the ninja world was affected by the chaotic radiation, and strange and inexplicable signs appeared.
