Kakashi's black and red Raikiri, imbued with divine power, pierced Madara's Six Paths Body, which was known for its absolute defense, as easily as piercing through a thin sheet of paper!
"Pfft——!"
Black and red lightning exploded on Madara's chest!
Kamui's power acted directly on the spatial level, distorting and tearing apart the chakra pathways within Madara's body.
It even shook the core technique within him that sealed the Tailed Beasts and the Gedo Mazo!
"What...this is impossible..."
Ban's eyes widened suddenly as he looked down at the hole in his chest that was being eroded and expanded by the power of space.
His face was filled with utter astonishment and bewilderment.
He couldn't understand why Kakashi's attacks could so easily break through his defenses and even damage him fundamentally.
"good chance!!"
Just as Ban was in a critical moment of brief paralysis due to this sudden and severe injury.
Naruto, having broken free from the Limbo's restraints, had a glint of light in his eyes!
He suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a giant golden hand made of pure chakra instantly emerged.
It pierced directly into the hole in Madara's chest that had been torn open by Kamui Raikiri!
Madara was in a dazed state, exhausted, physically injured, and mentally shaken, and had no time to react effectively!
"Get out here...!"
Naruto let out a deafening roar, and his chakra arm suddenly grabbed and pulled inside Madara's body!
“Buzz——!!!”
A massive, unimaginably large torrent of chakra with nine distinct attributes.
With a roar filled with relief and rage, it was forcibly extracted and dragged out of Madara's body by Naruto!
The bond that symbolized the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki was completely severed at this moment!
Madara Uchiha's pure white six-path body, as if it had lost all support, rapidly dimmed.
He stared blankly at the colorful bands of chakra being extracted from his body.
The last spark of light in his eyes was extinguished completely.
Sorry, brothers and sisters, I've been too busy to update. I'm so sorry m(._.)m
Chapter 517 The Truth of Time Travel
All the tailed beast chakra, along with the Gedo Mazo, was forcibly extracted.
Madara's Six Paths Body, which he maintained with the power of the Ten-Tails, collapsed instantly.
His pristine white robe vanished into nothingness, and the overwhelming aura of chakra receded like a tide, restoring him to his original form.
Black hair, black eyes, and wearing tattered red layered armor.
His life was fading away so quickly that he couldn't even stand up.
His body swayed, and then, like a puppet with its strings cut, he fell straight backward.
It crashed heavily onto the cold, broken earth and remained motionless.
Consciousness space, a mysterious shallow area.
Ban suddenly "opened" his eyes and found himself in a dark, empty world.
Beneath my feet was a clear surface of water that barely reached my ankles, reflecting the empty sky. All around was silence, as if it were the other side where all things had ended.
"Where am I?" he murmured to himself, his voice filled with a hint of confusion.
"Hey! You're awake?"
A familiar yet slightly mocking voice rang out from the side.
Ban suddenly turned his head and saw a figure that made his pupils shrink.
Another "self"!
But the version of himself before him possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes, and his aura was powerful.
But he had lost some of his fierceness and gained more... a complex feeling that was hard to describe.
Madara's eyes flashed with a sharp look: "You... are you the remnant soul of mine that resided in the body of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Madara frowned, his tone displeased: "Hey, stop using the term 'Jinchūriki' all the time. He has a name, Naruto Uzumaki."
Madara snorted coldly, with his characteristic arrogance: "Is there a difference? We are both Uchiha Madara in the end, the same being."
The father crossed his arms and retorted without hesitation, "But that's no reason for you to call me 'son' so casually!"
He emphasized the word "son" very heavily.
Madara's eyes blazed with fury: "Want to fight? You bastard! You're nothing but a wisp of a soul about to dissipate!"
Dad stepped forward without backing down, and the Eternal Kaleidoscope began to spin: "Afraid of you?!"
As the tension between the two Uchiha Madaras escalated to the point where they were almost about to engage in a full-blown battle within the soul space, an anxious voice broke through:
"You two! Calm down! Calm down! At a time like this, why are you still fighting!"
Hashirama quickly stepped between the two, spreading his arms to try and dissuade them.
"Go aside!"
The two Madaras shouted at the same time, their powerful auras causing the well-meaning Hashirama to stumble.
Helpless, he could only step aside, his face full of exasperation.
Just then, an aged, peaceful voice echoed through the tranquil space.
"Interesting, really interesting."
"It is destiny for each successive incarnation of Indra's chakra to fight against one another."
“But I have never seen anything like you, where different aspects of the same being confront each other, even arguing over the reincarnation of an Asura.”
"who is it?!"
The three of them were startled at the same time and turned their heads sharply to look at the source of the sound.
They could all sense that the owner of this voice was on a level far above them!
In the dim space ahead, a soft white light gradually appeared, slowly coalescing into a blurry white figure.
The figure gradually became clearer, eventually transforming into a kind-faced old man wearing a white robe adorned with magatama.
He possesses a pair of eyes that see through the world, and two small, pointed horns grow on his forehead.
Holding a celestial staff, he exuded a serene yet vast aura.
"I am the founder of the Ninja Clan, and later generations will call me... the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki."
The old man spoke slowly.
"Six Paths Immortal!"
Ban's pupils dilated sharply; he instantly confirmed the other party's identity.
This image is exactly the same as the description he had seen on the secret stone tablet at the Uchiha Naga Shrine!
Banba stepped forward even more eagerly and asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time: "Are you the Sage of Six Paths?"
"Then do you know why I'm in Naruto's body? And why are my memories incomplete?"
The Sage of Six Paths stroked his beard and laughed, his gaze seemingly piercing through time: "Ho ho! Young Indra, the reason you came to this era is because you resided in Naruto Uzumaki's body."
"The root cause is not entirely due to external forces, but more so to... your own regrets."
"My own...regret?" Dad was stunned.
What regrets could he possibly have?
It's a pity that I couldn't kill the other side of myself immediately, which almost led to Naruto's death?
The Sage of Six Paths' gaze deepened: "Haven't you ever wondered why you remember your childhood with Hashirama Senju and the battle at the Valley of the End?"
"Yet your detailed conception of the 'Eye of the Moon Project,' as well as many key memories from your death until your resurrection, are unclear or even missing?"
Ban's father frowned: "Isn't this... something you're interfering with?"
The Sage of Six Paths shook his head: "No. That was not my doing, but rather it originated from... the Rinnegan that you yourself awakened."
"The eye of reincarnation..."
Both of them subconsciously touched their eye sockets at the same time.
"The reason why the Rinnegan is called the Rinnegan is not only because of its supreme status as a dojutsu, but also because of the original meaning of its name - reincarnation."
The Sage of Six Paths' voice carried a hint of heaviness: "It touches upon the laws of time and causality."
He looked at Madara, then at Madara's father, and slowly revealed a startling truth: "In the original 'history' or rather 'possibility,' you, Uchiha Madara, were no different from him."
"You were also the initiator of the Fourth Shinobi World War, obsessed with completing the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' and creating an illusory peace."
"However, you ultimately failed. Instead, at the crucial moment, you were betrayed by the 'will' you trusted most. Your efforts became the wedding dress for the resurrection of my mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki."
"What?! I'm going to be betrayed?!"
Ban gasped in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
He couldn't imagine that everything he had meticulously planned would be destroyed by betrayal.
The Sage of Six Paths slowly uttered the name: "Black Zetsu."
"what?!"
"How can it be?!"
Both of them were stunned!
The Black Zetsu that Madara knew was the strange black creature that possessed White Zetsu.
He once thought it was some kind of special clone or tool created by the original body.
