Jinchuriki of the Jubi

Madara slowly rose from the hole, his presence impossible to ignore.

Tentacle-like protrusions grew from his forehead, extending upward like a head protector. His long black hair had turned white, cascading down like a waterfall. His skin had also become as white as milk.

"Could it be... that Madara has become the Jinchuriki of the Jubi?" Shintaro looked up, his expression growing more serious.

With his unique Six Eyes ability, he clearly realized that after becoming the Jinchuriki of the Jubi, Madara's power had surpassed his past self and reached a new and unpredictable realm.

Not only that, but the chakra he possessed had also reached an unparalleled breakthrough in both quality and quantity.

Obito was also well aware of the information related to the Jinchuriki of the Jubi.

Therefore, he turned to Shintaro and explained, "Yes, now that Madara has successfully sealed the Jubi within his body, he has transformed into the Jinchuriki of the Jubi. The last person to do this was the Rikudo Sennin!"

"The Rikudo Sennin? Isn't he a legendary figure?" Shintaro asked in surprise.

"No, the Rikudo Sennin was a real ninja." Obito replied seriously.

"In short, Madara has now obtained the power of the Rikudo Sennin. At this moment, he only wants to implement the Rikudo Sennin' grand plan, projecting the Sharingan onto the distant moon, and casting the [Mugen Tsukuyomi], thereby plunging the entire world into an illusion."

"And I was once deceived by Madara, foolishly believing that such an end would be a good thing for the ninja world. But today, I finally realize that all of this was just a massive deception carefully orchestrated by Madara!"

Madara flew towards the two of them.

When he heard Obito's words, he was indifferent and even argued logically: "Obito, you're truly mistaken. Although it is true that I used you, when it comes to deception, I'm afraid it's entirely out of the question."

"You know, isn't Rin, whom you dearly miss, living safely and soundly in the beautiful world created by the [Mugen Tsukuyomi]? She's been waiting there for your return, so why are you still stubbornly fighting to the death?"

Faced with Madara's questioning and misleading words, Obito was so enraged that he clenched his teeth and roared furiously: "You demon! You clearly manipulated me into killing Rin with my own hands, and then you say that the illusionary world would ultimately make me thank you!"

Madara was holding the all-black Ruyi Jingu Bang.

Behind him, several dark black orbs floated serenely. These orbs were the Gudodama.

Shintaro's eyes were fixed on the Gudodama.

There was no doubt that the Gudodama were born from chakra, but their level was far beyond what an ordinary person could imagine, even surpassing advanced ninjutsu such as Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tota.

In reality, the Gudodama were not simply a single form of chakra but the core of seven chakra attributes: fire, wind, lightning, earth, water, yin, and yang.

The chakra of these seven attributes was condensed into a certain form and integrated, creating a unique power.

For those who possess all the Bijuu's chakra and fully master Senjutsu, the Gudodama would naturally appear in their hands.

Even if a ninja doesn't have all the chakra attributes, they can still obtain the Gudodama, but in that case, they wouldn't be able to create Gudodama.

Ultimately, this was undoubtedly strong evidence that Madara had made a significant breakthrough and improved the quality of his chakra.

Madara held the Ruyi Jingu Bang and looked disdainfully at the two hiding within Susano'o.

"You are no longer my rivals."

He flew high into the air, looking down at the two before him. His eyes were full of confidence and indifference.

Moonlight shone behind him, making his figure blur.

"I have become the second Rikudo Sennin, and I am truly different from you."

"I am merciful and will spare your lives today so that you may witness with your own eyes the eternal peace I have created."

Madara gave a faint smile, but that smile sent shivers down one's spine. He knew that his power had surpassed the realm of humans, and these two descendants of the Uchiha Clan were nothing more than insignificant beings in his eyes.

"If anyone dares to continue opposing me, once they're hit by my Gudodama, they will be reduced to ash, not even bones will remain."

Before he finished speaking, Madara's figure rose back into the sky, preparing to fly toward the rising moon.

Obito, who had once been bewitched by Madara, knew that the [Mugen Tsukuyomi] could only be launched when near the moon.

Seeing him about to fly away, he was so anxious that he shouted, "Stop him! The [Mugen Tsukuyomi] plan must be close to the moon to activate!"

Shintaro, who was beside him, understood immediately and quickly spread the wings of Susano'o. Though it was a giant over two hundred meters tall, it flew like a light bird and stopped in front of Madara.

Obito below also rode his complete Susano'o, wielding a powerful sword in his hand, and fiercely attacked Madara.

Madara's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "Hmph, if that's the case, then you can't blame me for being ruthless. Initially, I wanted to give you a way to survive and witness the prosperity of [Mugen Tsukuyomi], but unfortunately, you are now destined to disappear."

Though he said this, he also knew very well that if he wanted to plant the Divine Tree, merge with it, and finally activate the [Mugen Tsukuyomi], he had to overcome the two obstacles before him.

Madara used the Rinnegan, and his pupils glowed.

He didn't hesitate to display one of the most powerful ocular techniques – [Chibaku Tensei]!

Madara clasped his hands together, and the surging chakra in his body continuously gathered into his palms, becoming highly compressed and condensed into more than twenty ink-black spheres.

These spheres floated in the air.

Suddenly, the twenty black spheres began to rise rapidly into the sky as if drawn by some force, and they expanded crazily, growing larger at a worrying pace.

They generated an extremely strong gravitational field that firmly attracted all nearby materials. Pebbles, dust, and countless trees were swept into them, forming giant stone spheres.

With a loud and shaking sound, the earth trembled violently, and terrible cracks quickly spread like a spider's web.

Soon after, massive rock spheres soared into the sky, shot across the heavens, and hurtled toward the battlefield below with destructive force.

Exploding meteors filled the sky, raining down like a torrential downpour, and the entire space was enveloped in this apocalyptic scene.

However, Madara, who was flying in the air, looked at Shintaro above with a smile and softly said, "The raindrops have become a bit heavier and more numerous. With your power, you should be able to handle it easily. But if you still wish to thwart my plans, don't blame me for being ruthless."

He turned his gaze downward and saw Obito charging toward him.

Obito's expression was out of control. Due to Rin's death, he could be said to have fallen into madness. He believed the entire world was wrong and had faith in Madara's [Mugen Tsukuyomi].

But now, he knew that the mastermind behind it all was Madara, and he naturally directed all his hatred toward him.

Madara, on the other hand, glanced at him disdainfully, not bothering to let him stay any longer.

He casually waved his hand, and a Gudodama flew towards Obito like lightning.

Then, Madara turned around and flew towards the sky without looking back.

"Don't think about escaping!" Obito shouted angrily.

He used Kamui, attempting to transfer the rapidly approaching Gudodama from the air into Kamui's space.

Sure enough, under the control of his ocular power, the Gudodama was successfully sucked into Kamui's space.

However, as he was about to continue his pursuit, he suddenly felt an immense invisible force strike him hard. The force was so strong that Obito was thrown together with his Susano'o.

It turned out to be Madara's unique Rinnegan ability – Limbo.

He could split off his own "shadows." These "shadows" could not only withstand attacks on the main body but also attack enemies unexpectedly.

When both eyes were used, the number of "shadows" could increase to four. For ordinary people, they couldn't see the "shadows" or detect their actions.

Only those who possess Rinnegan or those who have mastered Rikudo Sennin Mode can see and sense the existence of the "shadows."

However, the time the "shadows" could manifest was limited. After performing certain activities, they would return to the main body, requiring a cooldown period before they could be used again.

Limbo was extremely difficult for Obito to deal with. His virtualization couldn't cover the entire Susano'o.

But with just a pair of ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan, he couldn't see through Limbo.

After losing Susano'o, Obito lost the ability to pursue, leaving him in a dilemma. He was surrounded by four shadows and beaten in the air like a puppet.

On the other hand, Madara flew upwards but saw Shintaro blocking his path.

"What?" Madara exclaimed in shock.

He stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what was happening in front of him. He initially thought that more than twenty [Chibaku Tensei] would stop Shintaro, but the reality was entirely beyond his expectations.

Shintaro calmly controlled Susano'o and executed a move called [Purple].

Susano'o raised the sword in its hand high and fired [Purple] from the tip of the blade. This highly compressed chakra sphere was enormous, and the power it contained was as terrifying as a Bijudama!

The chakra spheres were fired one by one like cannonballs, easily destroying all the [Chibaku Tensei] in the sky.

For a moment, the shockwaves generated by the explosions were deafening.

Immediately after, Shintaro quickly blocked Madara's advance, looking past Obito, who was being brutally attacked by Limbo, and shouted loudly, "Obito! Release Susano'o immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Obito chose to trust without hesitation.

After all, he knew he wasn't as clever as Shintaro, and right now, their goal was the same—to stop Madara.

Moreover, Obito's hatred for Madara was much greater than Shintaro's, so he quickly decided to release Susano'o and reveal his true form.

However, as Susano'o vanished, Obito instantly lost his ability to fly, and his body began to plummet rapidly, falling from the sky.

"Ame-no-Minakanushi!"

"Kunitokotachi!"

Shintaro's ocular techniques were not offensive in nature, but in terms of ability, they were undoubtedly among the best.

Ame-no-Minakanushi directly granted immortality to objects and even living beings, while Kunitokotachi could nullify gravity, disrupt an enemy's combat, and grant himself and his teammates the ability to fly.

Obito relied on the blessing of these two eye techniques to gain the confidence to fight against Limbo, getting entangled with the four Limbo shadows.

Seeing this scene, Madara looked at Shintaro and said, "It seems I've underestimated you, Uchiha Shintaro."

He then gestured and fired all the Gudodama at Shintaro, so quickly that the other party could only defend temporarily.

Susano'o's defense was immediately breached, and Shintaro placed his hope on [Infinity], but he didn't expect that Gudodama could penetrate [Infinity].

This was the second time [Infinity] had been breached in the ninja world.

The first time was by Obito's Kamui, which relied on space distortion to penetrate [Infinity].

However, Gudodama relied purely on its power to break through [Infinity] directly.

This made Shintaro reluctant to bet that [Infinity] would be effective against Gudodama.

Then he disappeared instantly.

[Instant Thunder]!
