Naruto: Evil is easy to commit, making Amegakure great again.

"The World—!"

Om-!

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual force, far surpassing most truths and laws in the current world, surged forth.

It swept across the entire ninja world in an instant.

Gradually, everything in Jiang Ming's field of vision turned gray, faded, murky, and stagnant...

Gradually, the entire world's art style was transformed into a grayish-white color, resembling the black and white television screen of Jiang Ming's previous life in the 80s.

Everything that could move was brought to a standstill.

Gale, dust, rain, living things, time, space...

Everything was frozen in place at that moment!

This created a state called "time stop" relative to the previous state.

time......

—It's been stopped!

"Five seconds left..."

Jiang Ming absorbed all four fire dragons in front of him.

He then turned sideways and came behind Uchiha Madara.

A golden figure appeared out of thin air.

That was the powerful Stand he had recently drawn—The World.

It possesses the supreme power to stop time.

"Let me end it all..."

The next second, the Stand World, under Jiang Ming's control, displayed a hand chop motion.

He forcefully pierced through Madara Uchiha's body, reaching his heart before changing his thrust into a grip.

He crushed his heart, which had stopped beating in the "time-stopped" state.

He ended Madara Uchiha's life without him even realizing it.

"Faced with such an injury, unless you can prepare the Uchiha clan's ultimate eye technique, Izanagi, to save your life before time stops, at the cost of permanently losing one Sharingan."

"Otherwise, there would be absolutely no way to survive this battle..."

Out of caution, Jiang Ming originally intended to smash Madara Uchiha's head by pursuing him the moment he crushed Madara's heart.

To prevent him from launching a desperate attack the moment he realizes he has been severely injured and is beyond saving.

It has caused some trouble and threat to myself.

Unfortunately... five seconds is just too short.

It was only enough for Jiang Ming to crush Madara Uchiha's heart.

There wasn't enough time for him to smash Madara Uchiha's head.

Eliminate potential risks for yourself.

"Duang! Duang! Duang!"

A sound like the hands of a clock turning again rang out.

The surrounding scenery gradually returned to normal.

Countless things that were in a "static" state also resumed their activity.

time......

Back on track once again...

"Your combat awareness is really terrible... cough—!"

Madara Uchiha hadn't even had a chance to declare victory.

His entire body then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

It began to convulse violently.

"What... is going on...?"

Jiang Ming had a full five seconds to crush Madara Uchiha's heart.

However, to outsiders, Madara Uchiha appeared to have suddenly collapsed and become unable to get up, as if he had been struck by a sudden and serious illness.

His whole body began to convulse violently.

"My...heart..."

Upon realizing that his heart had been shattered for some inexplicable reason, Madara Uchiha immediately activated Izanagi, the ultimate eye technique he had sealed in one of his Sharingan eyes, to save his life.

Escape from an extremely dangerous and life-threatening situation.

By sacrificing one of his Sharingan eyes to reset his physical condition, he narrowly escaped the cruel turn of events that could have taken his life.

With unparalleled skill, he activated the Instantaneous Movement Technique, creating a distance of several hundred meters between himself and Jiang Ming.

Only then did I dare to relax a little.

He pondered why his heart had been suddenly shattered.

"What on earth just happened...?"

Madara Uchiha was terrified.

I am filled with doubt, confusion and bewilderment about my inexplicable experience of "death".

"I remember I had already circled around to Jiang Ming's side and launched an attack when he wasn't paying attention."

"Why was I the one whose heart was ultimately shattered?"

Madara Uchiha's gaze was dazed as he used his last remaining three-tomoe Sharingan to scan Jiang Ming, who was enveloped in a dense green chakra cloak, giving him the appearance of a sage.

A sense of vigilance immediately arose in my heart.

They dared not approach Jiang Ming rashly.

"If it weren't for my habit of sealing 'Izanagi' in advance within my Sharingan."

"Perhaps I'm already facing death because my heart has been shattered..."

Since the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha has developed the good habit of sealing away one of Izanagi before engaging in any formal battle!

Even in Madara Uchiha's eyes, apart from Hashirama Senju, everyone else in the ninja world was nothing more than grains of sand that couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.

He would never underestimate his opponent and leave any hidden dangers, abandoning this necessary means that could turn the tide of life and death and save his own life at critical moments.

"Although your combat awareness and taijutsu skills are terrible... that doesn't affect the fact that your strength is indeed among the best in the ninja world, Jiang Ming."

In Madara Uchiha's view, Jiang Ming's combat awareness and taijutsu skills were terrible.

However, his ability to use the Rinnegan and that mysterious eye whose name he doesn't know is still enough to keep him at the top of the entire ninja world.

He became the strongest ninja in the world, second only to himself at his peak and Hashirama Senju.

"Are these your last words, Uchiha Madara?"

Jiang Ming slowly raised his left hand.

Activating the power of the Heavenly Path through the Rinnegan – Universal Guidance.

Madara Uchiha was immediately pulled to the side.

"What an arrogant brat..."

The moment he felt his body rise into the air and get closer and closer to Jiang Ming's location.

Madara Uchiha was already prepared to sacrifice his last Sharingan and activate the dojutsu [Izanagi].

"Having two powerful eyes cannot hide the fact that your combat awareness is extremely poor and your physical skills are utterly terrible, Jiang Ming!"

Madara Uchiha rapidly formed hand seals.

Almost a moment before being pulled in front of Jiang Ming, she activated the summoning spell in mid-air.

Several panicked White Zetsu were summoned.

They became their own human shields.

And so, she and her companion were pulled together by the [Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Guidance] and brought before Jiang Ming.

It withstood the attack from Jiang Ming's [Reincarnation Eye Chakra Mode].

"Before those eyes, even the most outstanding combat awareness and physical skills are useless..."

Jiang Ming created a large number of black prayer beads using Yin-Yang Escape.

He then imbued all of these prayer beads with his own Reincarnation Eye energy.

They were transformed into green spheres that emitted bursts of emerald fluorescence.

It spun rapidly around the several White Zetsu and Madara Uchiha that were being pulled in by the [Universal Pull].

A silver halo was formed.

It then unleashed a massive, terrifying tornado from the aperture, powerful enough to tear the earth apart.

They attempted to shatter everything in front of them.

"Silver Wheel...Reincarnation Explosion—!"

Under the frenzied onslaught of this terrifying tornado that could shatter everything and completely tear apart the earth's surface.

The several White Zetsu, which were originally intact and looked completely bewildered, were completely pulverized before they could even react.

It helped Madara Uchiha withstand most of the damage from the [Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion].

They became the most innocent victims of this battle.
