Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 320 Six Paths Sakura (2.5 combined)

After the storm subsided, everyone was able to see what the person in the sky looked like.

Her waist-length pink hair cascaded down, moving even without wind. Her delicate and aloof face no longer bore the Yin seal and immortal runes of the past. Her emerald eyes were now like glass, concealing golden flames that made people dare not look directly at them. At this moment, she wore a feather robe with red and white interwoven like flames.

The Fifth Hokage stood there, and everyone was looking at her, but they could not sense her presence at all. If it weren't for the godlike chakra pressure that enveloped the heavens and earth, almost everyone would have thought that their retinas were deceiving them, and that it was just an illusion.

"Has this child already reached this level...?"

As Hashirama Senju gazed at the figure soaring above the heavens, feeling the vast, ocean-like chakra emanating from that figure, his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Is this fear and terror?
No, this is the will to remain unyielding and resist in the face of adversity!

"Immortal Method Mingshen Gate!"

While everyone was witnessing the birth of the second being in a thousand years comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, Hashirama Senju was the first to react. He immediately clasped his hands together and roared angrily!

Faced with such a formidable enemy, Hashirama Senju went all out!
but……

He was no match for the fifth generation before, so how could he possibly defeat them now?

Dozens of red torii gates fell from the sky, crashing down on that unfathomable being in the heavens.

However, the being in the sky looked towards Hashirama Senju with its eyes.

An invisible pressure suddenly erupted!
Almost instantly, Hashirama Senju was nearly kneeling on the head of his thousands of hands!
Senju Hashirama felt the pressure emanating from the Fifth Hokage, and despite gritting his teeth, he managed to stand up, which caused the beings in the sky to take a slight look.

Even in his impure state, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, but even so, he still spoke angrily:
"Immortal Technique: Buddha Transformation at the Crown!"

The True Thousand Hands, whose body was thousands of meters tall, moved once again. All the countless hands on its back transformed into fists and slammed towards the being in the sky!
"Wood Release?"

The being in the sky murmured upon seeing this.

Then, to Hashirama Senju's utter disbelief, the other party calmly spoke:
"Sage Technique: Wood Release: Wrathful King: Hundred Refinements Armor".

As the figure in the sky spoke, the sea cried out in an instant, and a massive being nearly three thousand meters tall rose from the ground!

Its face was as ferocious as a demon from hell, it wore ancient armor, and it held a giant Guan Dao that was nearly four thousand meters long!

Such an existence is like a god suppressing the evil spirits of hell!

The so-called true thousands of hands are like children in front of this Myo-o!
At this moment, the Ming King moved. Facing the thousands of hands that were attacking head-on, he took a step and stirred up an endless tsunami. He swung his Guan Dao without hesitation. The Guan Dao, which was as big as a mountain, was terrifying to look at, let alone when it was swung!

The wise king, with a compassionate heart, suppressed all the demons in hell.

The tip of the blade touched the sea, and then the blade slashed upwards from below!
The endless blade light instantly shattered the so-called True Thousand Hands technique!
With a single strike, the True Thousand Hands was cleaved in two. The unparalleled blade light swept across the sea and flew into the sky. In just an instant, the dark sky was as if the True Thousand Hands had been split in two, the dark clouds in the sky were torn apart, and a 'canyon' stretching for thousands of meters appeared in the sky!

The dazzling sunlight streamed down from the 'canyon', shining on the fifth generation and on the battlefield!

What's most astonishing is that such a powerful strike didn't affect the sea at all, which shows how strong the control required.

If one were to recklessly unleash a strike, that strike would likely cleave the ocean in two and strike the Land of Water on the other side!
"Wood escape..."

The heavenly beings had intentionally avoided Hashirama Senju's attack. Now, Hashirama looked at the True Thousand Hands beneath him, which were slowly sinking into the sea, opened his mouth, and seemed unsure of what to say.

"Wood escape?"

"Wood Release!"

"I see!"

Watching this scene from afar, Tobirama Senju's initial confusion turned into understanding.

Sakura already possessed four chakra natures: Yin, Yang, Water, and Earth. In addition, she had a strong enough life force. When she first started training in Yang Release, Tobirama Senju suggested that she train in Wood Release, but Sakura refused.

Now that she has stepped into the Six Paths, mastering the Wood Release, which was originally extremely suitable for Sakura, is almost effortless!

Tobirama Senju's conjecture was both right and wrong.

Not only Wood Release, but if Sakura wanted to, she could use Lava Release, Melt Release, Ice Release, Storm Release, Boil Release, Scorch Release, Swift Release, Steel Release, Magnet Release, and even Dust Release.

The five chakra natures—wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth—are not something one is born with; one can acquire another chakra nature through training.

Sakura's Yin Release at this moment is unparalleled in the ninja world, even comparable to the Sage of Six Paths.

Such powerful Yin Release results in extremely strong mental strength, which in turn represents strong thinking, and strong thinking leads to the ultimate understanding of techniques.

The so-called nature transformations and form transformations of the five chakra natures, as well as the bloodline limit of combining two or three chakra natures, can be mastered instantly with just a thought.

If Sakura wishes, she can also use Truth-Seeking Balls formed from wind, thunder, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang.

The moment Sakura stepped into the Six Paths, the so-called mystery of chakra became meaningless to her.

"Then, who is that?"

Rin Nohara, who had been staying by Tobirama Senju's side, stared blankly at the figure in the sky ahead.

Based on her understanding, she could not comprehend the existence of such a level.

"That's the Hokage, our Fifth Hokage."

Tobirama Senju looked at the being in the sky with a smile on his face and spoke.

"Naruto?"

Nohara Rin was stunned once again. She couldn't understand how someone who looked only two or three years older than her could be so amazing.

At this moment, the wrathful King stood on the sea, like a mountain, with one fair jade foot on the King's head. Sakura held one hand loosely, and pink chakra gathered in her hand to form a shape like a longbow.

He drew the bowstring towards the sky, and a pink flaming arrow appeared out of thin air.

An arrow was shot out, the pink arrow soaring straight into the sky. The moment it reached the horizon, the arrow transformed into twelve pink streaks of light that scattered across the entire battlefield!

"The Twelve Yang Formation".

This is a barrier formed by twelve barrier points, derived from the Four Red Sun Formation, which can only be used by four Kage-level warriors.

This is a barrier that even the Ten-Tails cannot break.

Sakura can accomplish this all by herself now.

Twelve crimson barriers rose up, enveloping the entire battlefield and sealing off this area.

No one is allowed to enter or leave.

After doing all this, Sakura ignored the gloomy-faced Hashirama Senju and looked in the direction of Madara Uchiha.

At this moment, Madara Uchiha was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead.

He was just a little short, just a little short, and he would have become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, standing shoulder to shoulder with this Hokage.

However, the Ten-Tails has only just been resurrected and has not yet fully awakened. To become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, one must wait for the Ten-Tails to awaken.

Sakura observed all of this and calmly spoke:
"Do you need my help?"

???

"What do you mean?"

Madara Uchiha was very wary as he watched the Hokage walking towards him through the void.

He didn't believe the Hokage would be so kind.

However, Sakura didn't mean anything by it; she was just being kind.

She needs someone to test her current strength.

Six-spotted freckles are a good choice.

This is precisely why she set up the barrier.

"Second generation, fourth generation, send everyone out."

Sakura spoke, then flicked her finger, and a pink ball of light emerged from her fingertip and flew towards Minato Namikaze. The ball of light landed on the Yin-Yang black rods on Minato's body, pulling them out, and then flew towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Itachi Uchiha.

Tobirama Senju didn't say much, but immediately, together with Minato Namikaze who had regained his mobility, they used the Flying Thunder God Technique to transport everyone out.

Tobirama Senju knew Sakura too well.

At this moment, Sakura has entered a new realm and needs someone to practice on her so that she can become familiar with her new power.

Or simply put, I just had an itch to do it.

"Big brother."

Tobirama Senju arrived in front of Hashirama Senju.

"The door..."

Hashirama Senju looked at his younger brother and sighed softly.

"Let's go."

The two brothers exchanged a glance, and everything was understood without a word.

After everyone had evacuated, the Ten-Tails was still not fully revived, and Madara Uchiha looked at the pink-haired man in front of him with some suspicion.

He couldn't believe that this pink-haired guy, who had even reached the Six Paths Realm, would be so kind.

But at this moment, Sakura was already annoyed by the Ten-Tails' dawdling.

The pink-haired woman raised her delicate hand and slapped down!
A violent hurricane suddenly appeared, followed by a resounding, clear slap!

The Ten-Tailed Fox's enormous body flew into the air and crashed heavily into the barrier of the Twelve Yang Array, instantly burning its skin and flesh!

"Ow!!!"

The Ten-Tails howled in pain, and a bright red palm print appeared on its large face, which then swelled up rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Although it was a bit violent, the effect was remarkable. After that slap, the Ten-Tails was clearly awake as if it couldn't be more so.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju watched this scene from within the barrier, speechless. Clearly, even in this entirely new realm, the pink-haired girl remained the same pink-haired girl she always was.

Shouldn't this kind of duel between masters be like this: pink-haired girl waits until Uchiha Madara reaches the same level, and then pink-haired girl and Uchiha Madara fight it out, a battle that determines both superiority and life or death?

But in such a serious occasion, what's the meaning of the pink-haired girl suddenly giving the ten-tailed fox a big taunt?
Madara Uchiha's lips twitched slightly as he watched this scene.

"Look, he's awake. Aren't you going to thank me?"

The pink-haired girl pointed at the Ten-Tails, which she had woken up with a slap, and spoke to Madara Uchiha beside her.

"Humph."

Madara Uchiha gave the pink-haired girl a cold look before flying towards the Ten-Tails.

He decided not to engage in a verbal argument with this young girl.

Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with.

"How rude! He didn't even say thank you."

The pink-haired girl looked at Madara Uchiha's retreating figure with obvious displeasure.

"Roar!!!"

The Ten-Tails has now fully awakened, unleashing a cataclysmic change in the heavens and earth, with dark clouds gathering, lightning flashing, thunder roaring, and a storm sweeping across the land.

However, all of this was tightly locked by the Twelve Yang Formation. Inside the barrier, it was dark and gloomy, while outside, it was calm and peaceful.

It's like two completely different worlds.

"Ten-Tails..."

Madara Uchiha landed on top of the Ten-Tails' head and quickly used his Rinnegan to stabilize it.

Then, Madara Uchiha ripped off his crimson armor, revealing his muscular physique.

The massive Ten-Tails surged rapidly toward Madara Uchiha, centered on him.

In an instant, Madara Uchiha's body began to undergo an astonishing transformation. His full head of black hair rapidly turned white, and chakra coalesced into a white robe, with black Truth-Seeking Balls appearing behind him.

Madara Uchiha has now become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, officially entering the Six Paths level!
Compared to Sakura, Madara Uchiha's ascension to the Six Paths was incredibly smooth. This was not only due to his Otsutsuki clan bloodline, but also because of the Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails. After all, both the Rinnegan and the Ten-Tails belong to the Otsutsuki clan in a sense.

"Round two begins now."

"start……"

A black Truth-Seeking Ball transformed into a Zen staff and appeared in front of Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha took it without hesitation and pointed the Yin-Yang Zen staff at Sakura in the distance.

Pink-haired girl chuckled and made her move without hesitation.

Having used the reason-based fighting style for too long, she now wants to try a saturation attack.

The pink-haired man stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Madara Uchiha. Flames, rocks, lightning, water, and vortexes surrounded him.

With a wave of her hand, flames rose into the air and transformed into a giant fireball large enough to cover the entire Twelve Yang Array. At the same time, the stones around her flew rapidly into the fireball and transformed into a giant meteorite the size of a mountain!
"A meteor of fire and earth."

With a smile in her pink-haired eyes, she slid a single finger down, and the burning meteorite crashed heavily down towards Uchiha Madara!
"Heh, interesting."

Now, Madara Uchiha felt the immense power of chakra surging through his body, brimming with confidence. Faced with this attack, he already knew what the pink-haired girl was thinking.

Are you using me as a practice subject?

Hehe, while you were using me as practice, wasn't I also using you as practice?
Without hesitation, Madara Uchiha aimed one hand at the shooting star in the sky!

Yin Release: Lightning Style!

Countless purple lightning bolts burst forth from his palm in a forked shape, rushing towards the shooting star in the sky!
In a single glance, the seemingly powerful meteor was instantly shattered into countless fiery raindrops that fell down!

At this moment, Sakura continued to slide down with one finger.

"The concealment of water".

The water sphere next to Sakura fell directly into the sea below, and then the water level in the Twelve Yang Formation surged, reaching Madara Uchiha's waist in just an instant!
Before Madara Uchiha could escape, he was instantly frozen, turning Madara Uchiha into an ice sculpture!
Not only Madara Uchiha, but all the water within the entire Twelve Yang Formation turned into a giant block of ice!
"Thunderous Purification".

Sakura's fingers danced on the piano as she unleashed another Lightning Release technique.

The sky, already darkened by the previous celestial anomalies caused by the Ten-Tails, was now filled with rolling thunder!
Golden and red lightning bolts descended from the sky, continuously striking at Uchiha Madara!
Thunderstorms raged incessantly, shattering the ice that had frozen the sea into pieces under the lightning!

When the thunderstorm ended and the smoke cleared, only a black sphere remained quietly where Uchiha Madara had been standing. The powerful thunderstorm had not caused him any damage whatsoever!
"Tsk."

Sakura looked at the sphere formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball with some dissatisfaction.

The wind jutsu that was about to be released from the fingertips was dissipated.

That's no fun playing like that.

Sakura isn't incapable of breaking the Truth-Seeking Ball, but she wants to test her current abilities; shattering it with a single punch would ruin the fun.

"Heh, it's my turn now."

Madara Uchiha emerged from the Truth-Seeking Ball Release at that moment.

Madara Uchiha looked up at the pink figure in the sky, clapped his hands together, and suddenly pressed them together.

"Earth Explosion Sky Star!"

Endless chakra gathered in his hands, and the moment he opened his hands, nine black spheres flew into the sky!

Nine black spheres were linked together in the sky, giving the impression of a constellation of nine stars, and then a tremendous force of attraction burst forth from them!
The earth and the sea all flew towards the sphere in the sky!
Madara Uchiha watched this scene with satisfaction, and chuckled as he spoke:

"There was thunder just now, it's about to rain."

"While it is indeed a bit large for raindrops."

The pink-haired girl looked up at the sky, completely unaffected by gravity, and remained motionless.

"It's that trick again..."

"Is the power of the Rinnegan really that boring?"

Perhaps the pink-haired girl found Madara Uchiha's move too boring, because she stretched out her palm...

then……

Press down!

All of a sudden!
A golden, glowing hand pierced through the dark, overcast sky and appeared before everyone's eyes!

The palm of his hand encompasses the entire Twelve Yang Formation!

Madara Uchiha's eyes narrowed instantly upon seeing this!
The giant hand descended from the sky and grabbed all nine Earth Explosion Stars!
then……

Crush it!

"Sorry, I don't like rain, I won't allow this rain."

"Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"

Sakura calmly looked down at Madara Uchiha from high in the sky.

"If not..."

"Your value to me has come to an end."

The pink-haired figure in the sky calmly watched Uchiha Madara.

As he spoke, he opened his palm, and white light appeared in his hand.

A fist-sized, white, transparent cube slowly rotated in the pink-haired man's hand...

Immortal Technique: Dust Escape: Origin Realm Detachment Technique.

Madara Uchiha watched this scene with a grim expression.

He couldn't beat this pink-haired girl before reaching the Six Paths level, and he still can't beat her after reaching the Six Paths level. Didn't he waste his time reaching the Six Paths level?!
Thinking of this, Uchiha suddenly clasped his hands together!

A colossal being surged forth from his body!

That's the Ten-Tails?

Do not……

That is both the Ten-Tails and not the Ten-Tails!
Madara Uchiha wants to plant the Divine Tree and then activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
Pink-haired girl frowned slightly as she watched this scene.

If it's Infinite Tsukuyomi, can he use it even with just one Rinnegan?
Just then, a burst of white smoke rose with a bang, and a small slug appeared on the pink-haired girl's shoulder.

"Small……"

The slug sage instinctively greeted Sakura.

"Sakura!"

Only then did the Slug Immortal realize the extent of his contractor's predicament.

"Lord Slug, do you still have the Rinnegan that I entrusted to you for safekeeping?"

Madara Uchiha's single Rinnegan wasn't good enough for Sakura to practice on, so Sakura planned to give Madara Uchiha's other Rinnegan and then release Kaguya Otsutsuki.

At least in Sakura's opinion, neither a single-eyed nor a double-eyed freckle could compete with her.

So far, Sakura has never taken Madara Uchiha seriously.

Sakura wanted to see if the so-called Goddess of the Rabbit could make her use her full strength.
