Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village.

"This can't go on like this."

Orochimaru said in a deep voice, "My spiritual power is almost completely depleted and I can't hold on for much longer."

Uchiha Hikari frowned, constantly urging her eye power to maintain the Susanoo Armor.

The existence of the Eight Thousand Spears ensured that the light's eye power never became insufficient. Whenever she wanted, she could mobilize a massive amount of chakra and eye power to maintain her needs.

But at this moment, the guys she marked were all fighting fiercely in the village. If she were to unleash the Eight Thousand Spears now, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal of her own people.

In this situation, Uchiha Hikaru could only use his own power to the maximum extent possible, along with those scattered individuals in the ninja world.

Undoubtedly, this chakra is powerful, but it is somewhat insufficient against Madara Uchiha at this moment.

"Is this all the spiritual power you have?"

Orochimaru glanced at Uchiha Hikaru with his vertical pupils, then licked his lips with his long tongue.

In that case...

"Swastika!"

"Devouring Heavenly White Serpent!"

At this moment, the Yamata no Orochi's size increased dramatically, and the continuous rise in its aura surprised Uchiha Hikaru, and even Uchiha Madara's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

Is the Eight-Headed Serpent Technique not Orochimaru's Bankai?

"A good attitude, but not enough!"

Madara Uchiha crossed his arms, and the breastplate of his Complete Susanoo opened, unleashing a barrage of azure Yasaka Magatama from its chest, hurtling towards the Yamata no Orochi before him.

The continuous barrage of Yasaka Magatama landed on Orochi, causing a violent explosion. Uchiha Hikaru subconsciously activated his eye power, condensing Susanoo on Orochi. However, Orochi, who should have been controlling the Susanoo, suddenly turned around.

Orochimaru's seemingly boneless neck suddenly lengthened, and he abruptly opened his mouth, spitting out a bright green venomous snake. The foul-smelling snake's mouth opened again, spitting out half of Orochimaru's body.

Man spits out snake, snake spits out man.

Orochimaru turned around and appeared in front of Hikaru. A faint snake shadow appeared and swallowed Hikaru's body whole.

"Uchiha Hikaru, you're mine!"

The sudden change left Madara Uchiha, who was some distance away, somewhat bewildered. It wasn't until the Susanoo covering the Yamata no Orochi's body dissipated that he understood what had happened.

Madara, located inside Susanoo, laughed loudly, "Interesting, this is just too interesting!"

"When facing an opponent like me, instead of thinking about how to join forces to defeat me, you betray your ally... Orochimaru, you are truly interesting!"

"Please don't misunderstand, it's a motor."

Orochimaru licked his lips with his long tongue, a wicked smile on his face: "I'm not betraying my teammates, but rather trying to defeat the enemy in a better way!"

"Boom!"

It felt like my heart was pounding, like my blood was burning!

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted. He could clearly feel that after he used the White Snake in his Bankai state to devour Uchiha Hikaru, an extremely powerful spiritual force suddenly erupted from his body.

The intensity of that spiritual power was extremely exaggerated, like a raging storm, rampaging wildly within Orochimaru's body.

A massive spiritual pressure surged into Orochimaru's body, causing it to emit an extremely dazzling white light, and the surrounding air trembled incessantly with this vast spiritual pressure.

Even inside the complete Susanoo, Madara Uchiha could feel the terrifying pressure and hear the Susanoo making a hissing sound as it was compressed by the pressure.

"This level of increase..."

"Ah, just as you thought, it's eaten." Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, smiling smugly. The eight-headed serpent beneath him seemed to want to display its master's power, its eight heads hissing and roaring like thunder.

"My Bankai ability is not some kind of Yamata no Orochi; it's just a technique I developed before becoming a Shinigami."

"This is perfect. As expected of the ultimate weapon of the Uchiha clan, chosen by Mizuki Yoru to be part of his personal guard... Uchiha Madara, are you ready to feel my power?!"

Boom! !

With the support of Orochimaru's massive spiritual power, the enormous Yamata no Orochi became even more ferocious and pounced on the complete Susanoo.

Susanoo drew his sword to meet the attack, and with a single stroke, easily severed the head of a serpent.

Before Madara Uchiha could speak, the remaining snake heads slammed into his Susanoo with lightning speed. The severed snake head was restored in an instant and bit down on the prism where Madara was.

With just one strike, the prism was covered in cracks.

Madara was somewhat shocked. The destruction of Susanoo meant that Orochimaru's strength had completely surpassed his own.

That is... the Six Paths Realm!

After absorbing Uchiha Hikaru, Orochimaru's power was now comparable to that of a Six Paths Realm expert.

"Only by witnessing a legend firsthand, surpassing a legend, or even becoming a legend yourself, can the winds of life truly propel enough windmills!"

Orochimaru stood atop the head of the Yamata no Orochi: "Uchiha Madara, the Asura of the Ninja World, if I were to devour you, my gust of wind would probably blow even further away."

The ferocious Yamata no Orochi lunged at Madara Uchiha, but a smug smile appeared on Madara's lips as his Complete Susanoo collapsed.

"These kids of the new era can really come up with something different."

In an instant, Madara Uchiha, whom Orochimaru regarded as prey, suddenly transformed into a streak of red light, advancing instead of retreating, and charging towards the Yamata no Orochi.

Orochimaru's pupils suddenly contracted, and he frowned.

He channeled his spiritual power, subconsciously preparing to defend against Madara Uchiha's seemingly desperate and reckless attack.

At the moment of contact, Madara Uchiha's physical body easily shattered the Yamata no Orochi's body. Not only its head, but even its body was directly smashed to pieces by Madara Uchiha's physical body, causing it to crash heavily into the sea, splashing waves.

In mid-air, Madara Uchiha, who had just defeated Orochi with a single blow, crossed his arms. His posture had changed drastically compared to before.

Unidentified patterns covered the right half of his body, and with the appearance of the patterns, a sharp horn that grew backward appeared on his forehead, exuding a majestic aura.

As the waves rolled, Orochimaru's figure slowly emerged.

Originally, I thought that Uchiha Madara in front of me was already a sitting duck, but the other party actually used his physical body to directly defeat the Yamata no Orochi, which was enhanced by my spiritual power. With his current strength, even Tsunade in Bankai state could not do such a thing!

Moreover, this posture, this aura...

"Otsutsuki..."

Orochimaru murmured.

He certainly knew of the existence of the Otsutsuki clan, and had even personally studied them.

After the former Ōtsutsuki Abandoned was captured by Minazuki Yoru, his body specimen was kept in a secret laboratory for research purposes, to study the bloodline power of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Although Otsutsuki Abandon's bloodline was not pure Otsutsuki, with the addition and fusion of many research materials in the later period, Otsutsuki Abandon's strength had long surpassed his own, and he even showed signs of reversion to his ancestral form at one point.

At that time, Orochimaru felt the true power of the Otsutsuki.

The aura emanating from him was exactly the same as that of Uchiha Madara!

"Bloodline reversion? No, it's not that simple." Orochimaru gripped the white snake in his hand, his spiritual power surging, and he raised his hand to unleash a high-level Hado attack on Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha calmly raised his hand, and the spiritual energy that was previously impossible to absorb was now easily absorbed.

"I used to stubbornly believe that only Hasi Hot Mom could give me a good time and bring me that kind of life-or-death battle."

Madara Uchiha slowly stepped forward, cracking his wrists as his crimson armor clattered. "But Orochimaru, you new-age guys always manage to surprise me."

"Since you've devoured the light, let me see if you're even qualified to devour the Uchiha Ultimate Weapon!"

Madara Uchiha's pace quickened as he spoke, until he became a crimson afterimage, instantly rushing towards Orochimaru.

Suddenly, a huge fire fan appeared in his empty hand, and he swung it down hard towards Orochimaru's face.

"Zheng!"

Orochimaru remained expressionless, raising the white snake in his hand to block the attack of the fire fan.

As the two sides clashed, Madara Uchiha's lips curled up slightly, and several black rods suddenly shot out from his palm.

"Round and flat fan!" Orochimaru shouted, and a barrier resembling a fan blocked the incoming black rod. At the same time, he twisted his waist and launched a whip kick at Madara Uchiha's waist.

With a dull collision of flesh, Orochimaru's whip kick was blocked by Madara's arm, but countless fine venomous snakes snaked along Madara's arm and slithered towards his body.

With a flick of his wrist, Madara's scythe, attached to the fire fan, flipped and sliced ​​through the oncoming swarm of snakes. At the same time, he slammed the fire fan into Orochimaru's prepared trap.

"Broken Dao No. 88: The flying dragon strikes the thief and the sky-shaking thunder cannon!"

"I only drink milkshakes!"

Madara Uchiha waved his flaming fan, absorbing all the vast spiritual power within it. The power then burst forth as a raging storm of flames, completely engulfing Orochimaru!

Orochimaru tore through the flames, his spiritual energy surging. Madara Uchiha followed closely, his fighting spirit soaring. Sparks flew as the flame fan clashed with the white snake. Although the commotion was far less than the previous battle between the Gundams, the fight between the two was becoming increasingly intense...

……

Inside the Otsutsuki space.

Jigen, who was constantly monitoring the situation, was already prepared to leave the planet, even though Obito Uchiha on the battlefield was temporarily held back by Kimimaro's power.

The sacred script of the "Miracle" is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful the sacred script is, it will eventually reach its limit when facing Uchiha Obito, who has already surpassed them in essence.

Even if the source of this power is Minazuki Yoru!

The reason is simple: in Jigen's view, Obito now possesses the power to fight against Minazuki Yoru!

However, before Cixian could completely leave, a spatial gate suddenly appeared in the space he was in.

“I really didn’t expect that someone of the same race who was born with my mother would still be alive.”

As the portal opened, a deep voice slowly emanated from it, and under Cixian's solemn gaze, three figures slowly emerged from it.

An old man dressed in white, holding a six-stranded staff, stepped out of the spatial gate. Behind him followed a man with snow-white eyes and an old toad.

The newcomers were none other than the Six Paths Brothers and Gamamaru!

Sitting on the throne, Cixian looked at the three of them with an indifferent expression: "It seems I have indeed been somewhat lax, and you were able to notice."

He could clearly sense the state of the three guys in front of him. Although their auras were unfathomable, the essence of their strength, whether it was the Six Paths Brothers or Gamamaru, was only slightly higher than that of ordinary Six Paths Realm cultivators.

Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not insurmountable.

The Sage of Six Paths looked at Jigen before him, sensing the faint aura emanating from him, as if lost in some kind of memory. After a moment, he calmly said.

"I finally understand why my mother activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi and kept creating White Zetsu. If her enemies were all people like you, then she would indeed be a very terrifying existence."

"Regretted it? You two brothers didn't hesitate at all when you sealed away that bitch Kaguya."

"I will never regret anything, because different stages of life involve different choices, and that's life."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki shook his head: "Although I am very curious about my mother's clan, that's all. I have no intention of contacting my mother's clan before I have dealt with everything on this planet."

Cixian chuckled and said calmly, "This is not something you can decide, nor do you have the power to deal with those guys right now."

A toad severely injured by Minazuki Yoru, and a pair of Six Paths brothers whose plans were ruined by Minazuki Yoru and who could only stay in the Pure Land of the Underworld to make their plans—how could they possibly deal with Minazuki Yoru, or with Six Paths Obito who is now the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?

Jigen looked down on the Rokudo brothers in front of him, just as he looked down on Kaguya, that bitch.

Chapter 322 The Battle of the Otsutsuki!

Faced with Jigen's undisguised mockery, Hagoromo Otsutsuki did not rush to deny it.

Jigen is right. The current situation is indeed not good for him. Both the Ten-Tails Obito and Minazuki Yoru are quite troublesome guys.

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki showed no sign of worry on his face, remaining completely calm.

It was this posture that made Cixian frown.

Could it be that the other party really holds a trump card that he doesn't know about?

After he was severely injured by Kaguya, he spent a lot of time recovering. As a result, although he witnessed the infighting within Kaguya's family and everything Hagoromo Otsutsuki did later on, he didn't really understand the true nature of it all.

During that period, Hagoromo Otsutsuki spread his chakra throughout the ninja world, dispersing his power to various parts of the ninja world. Jigen was aware of this and understood its purpose.

It's nothing more than gathering and dispersing chakra to break through one's own realm, and reaching the realm of one's mother, the progenitor of chakra, even with her sealed away.

For this purpose, Hagoromo Otsutsuki promoted chakra and endured for a thousand years.

But in the end, Mizuki Yoru stole the peach.

In today's ninja world, very few people use chakra; even dogs on the street can activate spiritual power.

It can be said that Minazuki Yoru's appearance completely ruined Hagoromo's plans.

Even under these circumstances, Hagoromo Otsutsuki remained confident. Where did his confidence come from?

With the ninja world under his constant surveillance, the only place left is the Pure Land of the Underworld!

"Are those souls the source of your confidence?"
