Chapter 28 : Aizen’s Dissatisfaction

Countless individuals gazed at the image, a sense of anticipation swelling in their hearts.

[Suddenly, the seemingly static image sprang to life.]

[The Six Path Madara trembled, much like someone who had nearly drowned and was finally rescued, gasping for air.]

[After a moment, the Six Path Madara, with only half of his body remaining, erupted into laughter.]

[His countenance displayed seven parts satisfaction and three parts fear.]

["Indeed... I was nearly vanquished by you, my friend!"]

[But in the end, I emerged victorious!]

[With these words, his shattered form began to regenerate.]

[Change of perspective.]

[On the other side stood Guy, his body scorched, his veins seemingly flowing with molten lava.]

[He remained immobile, only a faint breath marking his presence, as if he might perish in the next instant.]

[The victor and the defeated had been decided!]

[Even though half of Madara's body had been severed.]

[Unfortunately, the Six Paths Mode Madara possessed near-infinite self-healing capabilities.]

[Following a brilliant, life-endangering kick from Guy,]

[Six Path Madara claimed victory with his transformed physique.]

Shinigami World!

"A flawless performance; I've witnessed a clash between mortals and gods!" Aizen reclined on his throne, contentment glinting in his eyes.

Kenpachi Zaraki rose to his feet!

He could bear it no longer; he yearned for a brawl to release his warrior's spirit!

Or else, he would suffocate in its absence!

One Punch Man World!

The universal overlord Boros bellowed with laughter. "That kick, an explosion of life, was truly magnificent."

For him, the outcome mattered little; this warrior's vivid display of battle prowess took precedence!

In the world of Fate, Shuten Douji cast aside his wine gourd, feeling his blood boil!

Such battles were far more invigorating than the group of Servants who cowered in the shadows!

Hokage World!

The ninja remained silent!

Desperation didn't encompass their emotions now.

Instead, this moment infused them with heightened morale!

It was Guy's fervent spirit that ignited the flames of determination within them!

What of death?

Isn't a ninja's worth measured by this very notion?

In Konoha Village, Guy's spirits dipped briefly but quickly soared once more.

Rock Lee, tears barely held back, believed the sensei had come to his senses and hastened to say:

"Sensei, you mustn't kill yourself, please refrain from such actions in the future!"

Guy shook his head, raised an eyebrow, and excitedly responded to Rock Lee:

"Of course, I'll do it again! But next time, I'll aim for his head!"

In the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara shivered inexplicably.

"Curious, why does my soul feel a chill?"

[The scene continues!]

[Six Path Madara rose slowly, eyeing the fading Guy.]

"Though you flicker like a candle in the wind, you've pleased me!"

"To show my gratitude, I shall end you before you turn to ashes!"

[Six Path Madara's words bore sincerity!]

[This is respect for an adversary; a mundane demise followed by waiting for death isn't fitting for this man's manner of passing.]

[He intended to escort his opponent into the afterlife with his own hands.]

[In the next heartbeat, the indomitable Truth-Seeking Ball hurtled through the air, aimed at Guy.]

[Awaiting Guy was his demise!]

[Boom!]

[Astonishingly, Naruto, who should have perished, reappeared, intercepting the Truth-Seeking Ball with his own flesh.]

[Even more astounding, Naruto tapped into Guy's heart with a single hand, yanking him back from the brink of death.]

[While Six Path Madara remained stunned, Naruto closed the distance in an instant.]

[His fist's force rivaled that of Night Guy's kick, and simultaneously, a shuriken wrapped in magma appeared in his other hand.]

[Boom!]

[Once again, Six Path Madara was hurled into the ruins, the colossal, god-tier tree that took hundreds to encircle collapsing.]

[Six Path Madara was taken aback; if not for the divine tree's recent defense, he'd have sustained grave injuries.]

[And this was merely a casual strike from Naruto!]

In the Pure Land, Uchiha Madara's countenance betrayed disbelief!

Why?

How had he become so formidable just through dancing on the precipice of death?

Moreover, he sensed Six Paths power within Naruto!

Across another world, brows furrowed.

This lad, Naruto, demonstrated a staggering difference in strength before and after the brink of death!

What had occurred, and why did immense power seem so readily attainable?

One ought to remember, the mighty individuals hadn't advanced without enduring trials, honing their skills, ascending to their zeniths.

However, this scene confounded them, engendering both puzzlement and a degree of discomfort!

[The mutation unfolds anew!]

[The Six Path Madara inexplicably heard the thoughts emanating from the divine tree.]

[In the next heartbeat, he unhesitatingly absorbed the shattered divine tree into his being.]

[With the last vestiges of the divine tree assimilated, all of Six Path Madara's wounds vanished, his vitality restored once more.]

[In this instant, Madara wore an expression of sudden understanding and inexplicable joy.]

[It seemed that unifying the three factors would unveil the Infinite Tsukuyomi!]

[In the ensuing second, the Six Path Madara pivoted nonchalantly!]

[Before him stood Naruto, activated in Six Paths mode!]

[Simultaneously, another figure materialized!]

[None other than Sasuke, who should have met his end!]

[His aura, too, burgeoned manifold!]

[Incredibly, his left eye had transformed into a Rinnegan bedecked with Sharingan!]

"Just like a protagonist in a chinese novel, acquiring might at a crucial juncture?"

At this juncture, Aizen's gaze chilled, scorn for this quasi-fatalistic essence reflected in his eyes!

Shouldn't the fruits of labor be reaped through personal endeavor?

These two individuals left him disdainful.
