Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 346 Uchiha Madara --> Six Paths Madara

"Ahhhhh!"

The screams of Otsutsuki Isshiki were deafening.

After the portal collapsed, the chakra extraction of [Nether Release: Cold Silence] was directly aimed at him, and it actually extracted chakra from his body.

It wasn't that Xia Zuo's strength had improved, causing [Dark Release: Cold Silence] to be able to extract chakra from a person's body; rather, it was that Otsutsuki Isshiki's way of being was problematic.

He was originally a shrunken body that burrowed into Cixian's body through his ear, continuing his life in a parasitic manner.

Prolonged parasitism left Isshiki Otsutsuki in a semi-dead state, forcing him to transform part of his body into a wedge and use the wedge controller to control his parasite.

However, as Jigen's lifespan came to an end, his body began to uncontrollably enter a state of death, and Otsutsuki Isshiki could only continuously repair this body.

It took hundreds of years to regain stability, but Jigen's soul had long since disintegrated and dissipated, and his body became a puppet that could not generate chakra on its own.

Therefore, before each trip, Isshiki Otsutsuki had to fill his body with chakra in order to move freely and even fight others.

In this way, Otsutsuki Isshiki's chakra is "unclaimed," making him the perfect target for the [Dark Release: Cold Silence] technique.

It can be said that this technique completely counters the current state of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Xia Zuo didn't expect that the more chakra was extracted, the more exaggerated the pain felt by Otsutsuki Isshiki. In the end, he even disregarded his dignity and began to scream in agony.

At this moment, Xia Zuo was hesitating, wondering whether to kill or seal the powerless Otsutsuki Isshiki.

Killing Isshiki Otsutsuki would result in him being parasitized by the Karma seal. Xia Zuo's understanding of the Otsutsuki was very limited, and he had no way to stop it.

After being parasitized by the wedge, he will be bound to Isshiki Otsutsuki and fight from another level.

The two of them will fight each other in the same body like raising poisonous insects, until one's soul, knowledge, and talents are completely devoured by the other, giving birth to a stronger monster.

Sealing Isshiki Otsutsuki is likely even more difficult than sealing Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Because Kaguya Otsutsuki's seal has lasted for a thousand years, it has been proven that she can be sealed stably.

However, what will happen after Isshiki Otsutsuki is sealed is still unconfirmed.

Just because Kaguya Otsutsuki is stronger than Isshiki Otsutsuki doesn't mean that the latter's sealing difficulty is lower than the former's.

Kaguya Otsutsuki consumed the Chakra Fruit, achieving the Bloodline Limit and becoming immortal, but this also severed her ties with the Otsutsuki clan.

At least, her wedge will never appear again.

Otsutsuki Isshiki is still a member of the Otsutsuki clan. Once he is killed and sealed, he will soon abandon his body and turn into a wedge.

As the foundation of the Otsutsuki clan, Xia Zuo had no idea what effect the Karma seal would have.

Is it better to choose the known, inevitable risk and engage in a protracted battle with Isshiki Otsutsuki, or to choose the unknown risk and gamble that Isshiki Otsutsuki will have no way to escape after being sealed?

After much hesitation, Xia Zuo finally decided to take a gamble with Otsutsuki Isshiki.

It's just a Karma. Behind Karma is the Otsutsuki clan, and behind me, Xia Zuo, is Xia Zuo!

Fight!

【Storm Release: Light Fang】

The most powerful single-target beam pierced through Isshiki Otsutsuki's heart, ending his suffering. But the moment his pain subsided, he revealed a sinister smile to Natsume.

"You finally laid a hand on me, you inferior creature. You thought killing the Otsutsuki clan was the end of it?"

"No, this is not the end, but the beginning of a new war!"

"You will fight me, Otsutsuki Isshiki, in the depths of my soul. Even if you miraculously win, you will still face the true power of my Otsutsuki clan. You are doomed!"

Taking the opportunity, Xia Zuo asked, "So you're not afraid of death? Then why did you linger on for thousands of years instead of dying?"

Isshiki Otsutsuki's voice gradually weakened, but he still spoke clearly: "Hehehe, I'm not afraid of death. Death is meaningless to the Otsutsuki clan."

"But what I fear is Kaguya Otsutsuki. If she were killed by this traitor, I would be completely finished, with no chance of being resurrected."

"The Otsutsuki clan will inevitably produce another Otsutsuki Isshiki in the future, but that will not be me."

"I'm also afraid that the one who kills me is a defective product with no potential. That bastard Jigen has been cheating me for over two thousand years. I'm really scared."

"But you are the Fifth Hokage, Natsume. Although you are a lower-level being, you have achieved the Six Paths level before the age of 30, and you even have the potential to advance to become a true higher life form. This is enough to prove that your potential is limitless."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's voice grew weaker, but also more fanatical: "If I defeat you, I can take over your body, gain your memories and talents, and I might even become the next king!"

"For tens of thousands of years, the Ōtsutsuki clan has only had one king; I will become the second!"

"You wait for me, I will definitely—um—win—uh—"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki didn't finish his sentence. He took two last breaths, but no matter what he did, he couldn't breathe. His eyes bulged out as he died.

As death approached, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's body began to change, gradually shrinking and becoming smaller, eventually revealing a withered, thin monk-like figure, like a dried-up corpse.

Without even a collision, the corpse disintegrated on its own, turning into ashes scattered all over the ground, as if it had been dead for two thousand years.

At the same time, an indescribable chakra emerged from the corpse, wrapped around Xia Zuo's body, and finally gathered on the back of his left hand, condensing into a diamond-shaped mark.

This is the wedge of the Otsutsuki Ichishiki.

Xia Zuo smiled and said, "Hello, Otsutsuki Isshiki. From now on, we will be loving roommates."

The scene of the Kamehameha destroying the fire meteor was witnessed by Obito Uchiha, who was so shocked that he forgot to continue attacking Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha had no eyes at this moment and could not see the scene of the fire meteor being shattered, but he could sense the terror coming from behind him.

Because at this moment, Madara Uchiha activated Susanoo, and it was a complete Susanoo with armor, weapons, and wings.

The enormous chakra body brings a high degree of sensitivity, which allows one to sense chakra fluctuations and air vibrations from thousands of kilometers away.

When Obito Uchiha recovered from his shock and looked down at Madara Uchiha again, he saw Susanoo emerging from the smoke and dust.

He asked incredulously, "You...you don't have eyes, how can you use Susanoo?"

It's important to know that the reason he never activated Susanoo was because he only had one Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now that Madara Uchiha has just been resurrected, his eyes are in Obito's eye sockets, so how can he activate Susanoo?

Moreover, it's the strongest version of Susanoo.

Madara Uchiha laughed, "Kid, I seem to have forgotten to tell you: the Mangekyou Sharingan is not such an inconvenient thing!"

"Susanoo is the power of a god residing within the Mangekyou Sharingan, but as long as your mastery of Susanoo is profound enough, you can cast Susanoo using your own chakra even without the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Now, give me back my eyes, and I will spare your life in recognition of your ten years of service to me. I will also grant you eternal, perfect dreams."

Obito Uchiha raised his staff again and slammed it heavily on the ground.

"Uchiha Madara, I don't believe you!"

"I can understand that you've placed a barrier on my heart, trying to control me."

"Back then, Kirigakure captured Rin, who was not suitable to be a Jinchūriki, and forcibly sealed the Three-Tails inside her body, saying that they would use Rin to smuggle the Three-Tails into Konoha and destroy Konoha."

"Uchiha Madara, I want to ask you one question: what role did you play in this matter?"

"Planner? Executor? Or both?"

Madara Uchiha asked in surprise, "How did you discover that there was something wrong with this?"

"With your brain and intelligence, you shouldn't have noticed."

Obito Uchiha: "Damn it, I'm not an idiot!"

Madara Uchiha laughed and said, "Now that I've been resurrected, I might as well tell you."

"I planned this, and I hypnotized and controlled the Third Mizukage to issue orders to the Hidden Mist ninja. So I was both the planner and the executor."

"But all of this is for you, Uchiha Obito."

"The Third Mizukage is my puppet, the Three-Tails is under my control, and they are all my property."

"I made such a great sacrifice so that you could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"As I wished, you did awaken the most valuable Mangekyou Sharingan."

Obito Uchiha roared in fury: "Damn it, you're not doing this for me, you're doing it for yourself!"

"The important thing is, Lynn is dead! My beloved is dead!"

"I only want Rin, not the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"I'm going to kill you!"

"I'll kill you to avenge Rin, and then I'll use [Infinite Tsukuyomi] to create a perfect world where only Rin and I exist!"

Madara Uchiha's face darkened: "You really are a heartless scoundrel, only thinking about your own love and romance."

"A guy like you doesn't deserve to wield the strongest power in the ninja world!"

"Give me back my Rinnegan!"

Obito Uchiha: "Don't even think about it!"

"Die, Madara Uchiha!"

"Planetary Devastation!!"

"6

'

"Hehe." Madara Uchiha laughed. He released Susanoo and walked step by step toward Obito Uchiha.

Only after reaching Obito did he say, "Go ahead and yell! Shout all you want!"

"Why can't you use your Rinnegan eye technique?"

"You know perfectly well that these eyes are mine—mine!"

"You think you can kill me, Uchiha Madara, with my Rinnegan? You really have the guts to do that. You're just as bad as Obito Uchiha, who's lost his mind."

"By the way, you said you didn't care that I sealed your heart, so you probably thought that by having someone else destroy your heart, you could break the seal and no longer care about me?"

"Haha, Obito Uchiha, what can I say about you?"

"This is a resurrection plan spanning more than ten years, a full decade. How could I possibly leave behind such a simple scheme?"

"The seal on your heart is just for your viewing pleasure."

Madara Uchiha walked up to Obito and tapped his forehead: "The real seal is in your brain. The seal that can perfectly control your body is actually designed with my Rinnegan as its core."

"Obito Uchiha, I predicted all your actions 16 years ago! Including your betrayal!"

Obito Uchiha was paralyzed and unable to speak, but his eyes were filled with fear and sorrow.

Madara Uchiha's fingers moved down Obito's forehead and rested on Obito's eyelids: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, and I'll grant your wish."

"The girl you want is named Lin, right?"

After sensing Obito's affirmation by moving his eyes up and down with his fingers, Madara Uchiha removed the Rinnegan, casually summoned a stream of water to wash away the foul-smelling blood, and placed it in his own eye socket.

These Rinnegan eyes truly lived up to Madara Uchiha's reputation; they restored his sight in just one second without any leakage of chakra or ocular power.

However, Obito Uchiha lost his Rinnegan and fell into a state of disordered chakra throughout his body.

Madara Uchiha searched Obito's clothes and found the Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, but he didn't kill him and just left him there.

Madara Uchiha controlled the conflict arising from the mutation of his body and walked step by step toward the Ten-Tails.

He raised his hand, causing the Ten-Tails to obediently bow down, and then cast a sealing jutsu.

【Rinnegan - Nine Dragons Seal】

The Rinnegan created nine Truth-Seeking Balls, which transformed into nine giant dragons.

The dragon's body tightly bound the Ten-Tails, while the dragon's head bit down hard on the nine key energy nodes of the Ten-Tails, and then pulled the Ten-Tails toward Madara Uchiha.

As the two sides drew closer, the Ten-Tails' body shrank continuously, eventually shrinking to only one foot in size, completely transforming into a ball of chakra, which was sealed into Madara Uchiha's body like flowing water.

With all his chakra injected into Madara Uchiha's body, the moment the seal was successfully sealed, their auras merged into one, and the third Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in history was born!

Madara Uchiha could no longer suppress the mutations in his body, so he simply relinquished control of his body and allowed it to change as it pleased.

Ban's unruly long hair faded and turned silver-white.

His clothes were instantly burned to ashes by the chakra, and the powerful chakra condensed into a simple and ancient-style sacrificial robe.

Unlike Obito Uchiha's strange clothes filled with flesh, Madara Uchiha's ritual robe looked normal; it was a seamless celestial garment, indicating that Madara Uchiha was in excellent condition.

Black magatama quickly appeared on the priest's robe, and koji beads emerged behind Ban, who also held a scepter in his hand.

Madara Uchiha also grew horns on his forehead, but they were just a piece of board-like material that covered his forehead.

Six Paths Madara, descend!

Madara Uchiha took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.

"Only one last step is needed to unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi. All that's needed is a portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra—real chakra, not a fake created by the Impure World Reincarnation."

"Konoha Village, Fifth Hokage Natsume, I now have the power to destroy you!"
