Uchiha Madara

Shintaro's figure glowed, and together with the massive Susano'o, he moved several thousand meters in an instant, easily dodging the fierce attack from the Gudodama.

After successfully evading, he immediately reactivated [Instant Thunder] and swiftly returned to the intense battle scene.

At that moment, Obito was engaged in a fierce struggle with four Limbo figures that he couldn't see. With the buffs provided by Shintaro and Kamui, he was still able to fight these four Limbo and hold his own.

On the other hand, Madara's eyes were fixed on Shintaro, who had just returned.

"Junior, why are you still fighting in vain?"

The corner of Shintaro's mouth lifted slightly, forming a faint smile. He slowly raised his left hand, placing it on his chest, lifting his palm upwards, and gently pinching it with his index finger and thumb, while the other three fingers extended naturally.

"The reason is simple. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in an illusory dream. To me, real life is where true happiness lies."

"Huh, shallow boy."

Seeing that his persuasion was fruitless, Madara's eyes flashed with disgust and disappointment, and he changed his term for Shintaro from "junior" to "boy" with a derogatory tone.

However, before Madara could finish speaking, Shintaro opened his eyes, and an invisible aura emanated from his body.

Immediately afterward, he softly uttered: "[Domain Expansion: Lock Void]."

As his voice echoed, an astonishing transformation occurred – a large white circle suddenly appeared behind Susano'o, emitting a dazzling holy light.

This beam of light acted like a sacred shield, tightly enveloping Susano'o within it, even illuminating the entire space within a one-kilometer radius.

This was Shintaro's latest masterpiece – Domain Expansion!

Since obtaining the Seals of Scroll, he had immersed himself in studying it diligently. Relying on some forbidden ninjutsu knowledge in the Seals of Scroll, as well as his own talent and creativity, he successfully created a series of techniques unique to him.

The most prominent among them was undoubtedly [Instant Thunder], a perfect fusion of [Hiraishin no Jutsu] and [Limitless Technique]. After executing this operation, Shintaro's speed was not inferior to [Hiraishin no Jutsu], or perhaps even faster, and it did not require setting up coordinate markers like [Hiraishin no Jutsu].

He was now showcasing another innovative skill – Open Domain.

This domain, unlike traditional closed domains, had no clear boundary limits and could be freely expanded as desired. Within this Domain, he could gain a comprehensive boost while simultaneously exerting a powerful suppressive force on the outside world.

Shintaro used the barrier technique in the Seals of Scroll as the foundation to harness the power of the Domain. He did not hesitate to use the Closed Domain as a constraint and successfully exchanged it for a Domain with a maximum radius of one thousand meters!

In the one-kilometer area, with the halo circle behind him as the center, it seemed as if space and time had frozen.

No matter what object or life form it was, once it entered, it would be firmly trapped by the invisible force and unable to move at all.

However, only Shintaro could move freely through this Domain and act as he pleased.

At this moment, Madara, the four Limbo, and Obito were all frozen in midair by Shintaro's [Lock Void] without exception.

Their bodies were completely out of control, and they could only helplessly watch as Shintaro navigated the Domain with ease.

For Madara, this was the first time in his life that he personally experienced the power of a Domain, let alone one that was so powerful and open.

He was utterly shocked by what was happening before him, and he felt a profound fear of Shintaro's power.

In contrast, Obito seemed much calmer. After all, he had already experienced the ability of a Domain before, so he didn't show too much panic this time.

However, even so, he was still acutely aware in his heart that the power Shintaro was now displaying was far stronger than before.

Shintaro controlled Susano'o to hold the giant sword, wielding the massive blade before Madara. Even the tip of the enormous sword was enough to cover most of his body, even his head.

He also made the same gesture as Susano'o at the crystal on Susano'o's forehead, gripping the handle and thrusting forward.

Of course, it was difficult to kill Madara, who had transformed into the Jinchuriki of the Jubi, relying solely on the power of Susano'o's sword.

But Shintaro's abilities went beyond that. Since his battle with Nagato, he had gained insight into a Cursed Technique that could counter Rinnegan and absorb ninjutsu.

When Madara became the Jinchuuriki of the Jubi, his physical body became entirely immune to ninjutsu, and only taijutsu and senjutsu could cause damage to him.

Although Shintaro didn't fully grasp this, he knew in his heart that the Cursed Technique could also harm Madara's body.

As a result, he unleashed two different techniques with each hand, compressing [Red] and [Blue] within Susano'o's body.

[Red] and [Blue] collided inside Susano'o's chest. The dissolution between positive and negative infinities immediately exploded with destructive power.

However, the surging and massive energy that seemed ready to explode was deliberately guided by Shintaro with extraordinary control, preventing it from running amok and causing chaos.

Shortly after, he carefully constructed a broad and stable energy channel within Susano'o, accurately directing the energy to continuously surge along the blade of the sword, ultimately forming a string-like thread.

"[Hollow Technique — Maximum Output: Purple]."

With a thunderous roar, the purple light expanded, illuminating all directions.

Like a turbulent river, the endless stream of black water swept with overwhelming force and violently impacted Madara's body.

The impact of such a terrifying force caused Madara's body to shatter instantly, and he quickly made the decision to control Gudodama to advance.

Gudodama had a unique attribute that could easily penetrate boundaries anywhere, just as it could easily pierce [Infinity].

Madara used Gudodama to form an indestructible shield, tightly protecting himself.

The black and purple water resembled a stormy ocean, mercilessly crashing against the Gudodama shield.

However, Madara was shocked to discover a terrifying fact: the Gudodama was gradually being eroded and disintegrated under the corrosive force!

Although the process was slow, if it continued, he would inevitably die.

His combat instincts were as sharp as a beast's, and he could make quick decisions without hesitation.

He controlled the massive Gudodama jade shield to split again into countless smaller Gudodama, spreading in both directions, forming dual teams, and viciously attacking Shintaro.

Madara thought that, judging from the strength Shintaro had displayed so far, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand a Gudodama attack. Otherwise, why would he have fled so far?

Unfortunately, he was unaware of another potential threat at that moment – the person he once regarded as a tool but now sabotaged his plans, quietly approaching.

In this thrilling moment, Obito used Kamui to escape, successfully breaking through the Domain boundaries set by Shintaro and freely traversing between them.

Coupled with the assistance of Kunitokotachi's power, his speed was lightning-fast, and he reached Shintaro's side in the blink of an eye.

"Shintaro! Don't stop! Even if I end up shattered into pieces and obliterated into ashes, as long as I can push Madara into the abyss of destruction, I won't regret it!" Obito shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I understand."

Hearing Obito's shout, Shintaro's heart tightened, and he immediately canceled the [Instant Thunder] he had planned to launch.

Not only that, but he also further increased the output of the Cursed Energy in his hands, causing [Purple] inspired by the giant sword in Susano'o's hands to expand into a circle, making it stronger than before.

Shintaro was determined not to give Madara any chance to breathe.

The Gudodama attacking his body from both the front and back was left to Obito to handle.

"Kamui!"

Obito flew behind Shintaro, and the pupil in his left eye shrank. The power of Kamui gathered within it, and he focused precisely on drawing it into the mysterious and profound... Kamui space.

At the same time, he didn't hesitate to use his body as a shield to block several other diving Gudodama stones from behind.

The immense force made him groan, but he gritted his teeth and endured.

"Tell Kakashi for me... I'm sorry..." Obito spoke with difficulty, bright red blood spurting from the corners of his mouth. Yet, at the end of this sentence, a determined smile appeared.

His eyes were complex and indistinguishable, seemingly containing deep meaning and indescribable satisfaction.

Perhaps only Obito himself understood why he had such an expression at this moment – maybe because he felt he had finally found a way to use his life to atone for the sins he had committed.

Shortly after, he used his last bit of strength to display the power of his right eye.

His figure vanished from the spot along with the Gudodama he had just transported to the Kamui space.

In the empty and desolate Kamui space, Obito appeared and then fell hard to the solid ground.

Blood spurted from the gruesome wounds on his body like a fountain, instantly staining much of the ground red.

"Rin... I'm here to find you..."

Obito's blurred vision gradually cleared, revealing a girl in white standing still with her back to him.

Her figure was small and delicate, yet she exuded a calming aura.

Obito's eyes widened as he looked at the scene before him in disbelief—wasn't this the same Rin who occupied his thoughts day and night?

He couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to see Rin's face more closely. However, something extraordinary happened. He found that his body had shrunk and reverted to the form it had when he was a child. "Obito! Where did you go? I was so worried about you."

Rin seemed to sense Obito's presence and turned around, a gentle smile on her face. She softly extended her hand and grasped Obito's palm.

At that moment, time seemed to stop flowing. Obito was overwhelmed with emotion, and tears flowed from his eyes like a dam breaking. He unconsciously followed Rin and walked away from there, step by step.

"Rin..." Obito murmured to himself, his voice full of longing and nostalgia.

Meanwhile, on the fierce battlefield, Shintaro exerted all his strength to unleash [Purple], and the powerful energy swept over Madara like a wave.

Madara's body was repeatedly destroyed, but with his immense vitality, he continuously regenerated the damaged body.

The battle turned into a strange cycle, leaving Madara with no time to do anything other than desperately trying to restore his body.

Below, after witnessing what was happening before him, Black Zetsu couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn it! Useless fool. Madara has the power of the Jubi, yet he still can't defeat Uchiha Shintaro. It seems I need to find a place to hide."

As Black Zetsu was contemplating how to escape, he was shocked to realize that his body suddenly refused to obey his commands, and he was completely unable to move.

It turned out that Shintaro had already detected Black Zetsu's presence and quickly teleported close by, trapping both Madara and Black Zetsu in the Domain he created. At this moment, the two of them were tightly bound, unable to move at all.

"No! How did he discover my trace?!" Black Zetsu silently cursed in his heart.

At this moment, Shintaro's eyes shone like torches as he glanced down, then waved his hand, pulling Black Zetsu into the air.

"You claim to be Madara's will, how could I forget about you?"

Shintaro laughed and threw him into the stream of [Purple].

"NO!!!!!"

Black Zetsu perished completely before Madara, turning to ashes before he could realize his full ambitions.

Madara's body gradually became unable to withstand the assault, and the speed of his regeneration slowed down. Then the power of the Jubi left his damaged body.

Finally, all the chakra from the Bijuu escaped and reverted to their Bijuu forms.

Madara returned to his normal form, having lost all his power, hollowed out.

"Madara, I can heal you, but you can no longer dream of [Mugen Tsukuyomi]."

"I haven't been in this world long enough."

The corner of Madara's mouth curved up as he said, "Give me some pleasure, it's not bad that Uchiha has a junior like you..."

Shintaro pointed his finger at Madara.

"Goodbye."
