"Ashura, at this point, saying anything is useless. A battle between us is inevitable. Come on, let's not waste time!"
Isamu's pupils constricted as the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan activated. At the same time, he fully entered Six Paths Mode. Twelve black Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared in succession behind him, his skin turned completely white, and a pair of horns grew from his head.
"Six Paths Power combined with the Rinnegan, huh?" Ashura was shocked as he looked at Isamu's current appearance. He had become almost identical to his father, the Six Paths Sage. Through his sensory abilities, Ashura also discovered that Isamu's Chakra was incomparably vast, like a bottomless abyss with no end in sight.
"How about it, Ashura? Does my appearance look familiar? I'm not exaggerating when I say that in this state, it's impossible to kill me. You'd only have a slim chance if you caught me completely off guard!" Isamu crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Ashura with a smug expression.
"Knowing it's wrong and still doing it—you deserve it if you die. Uchiha Tensei, did you think I would come here without any preparation?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ashura's Six Paths Power also manifested. Six black Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared behind him, and a terrifying amount of Chakra burst forth from his body, shooting straight into the sky.
"This is… Tailed Beast Chakra!"
Feeling that Ashura's immense Chakra was mixed with the power of the Tailed Beasts, Isamu was surprised. He hadn't expected Ashura to have found the Tailed Beasts, and judging by this aura, there was likely more than one. Using his own body as a vessel for the Tailed Beasts to gain greater power, huh? Interesting. Very interesting.
"Uchiha Tensei, can you feel my surging power? Today, I will use this power to completely defeat you, the one who possesses the Rinnegan!"
Seeing Isamu's shocked expression, Ashura's confidence grew. No matter what, he had to defeat the man who had interfered with everything.
Upon hearing this, Isamu burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! You think you can defeat me just by relying on a few Tailed Beasts? I really don't know where you get your confidence from. You have no idea what the power of the Rinnegan is, or just how great this divine power truly is!"
"There is no such thing as divine power in this world—only stronger power!" Ashura said disdainfully. He didn't know much about the divine power Isamu was referring to. After all, he had never witnessed it himself, and the Six Paths Sage had never demonstrated it to him.
"Heh, is that so? Then experience this divine power properly—a power that doesn't belong to you!"
Isamu chuckled and formed the Opposition Seal with two fingers raised.
"Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Wave!"
Isamu pointed both hands at Ashura, and countless purple lightning bolts shot toward him.
"Hmph! Divine power? It's nothing more than a Sage Art using Yin Release. Watch this!"
Ashura snorted coldly. He immediately transformed a Truth-Seeking Orb into a black rod and threw it forward.
The lightning struck the black rod and was instantly deflected. It crashed into the ground around him, completely missing Ashura.
"What a familiar scene."
Watching Ashura use the black rod to block the lightning, Isamu felt a strange sense of déjà vu. It reminded him exactly of the battle between Naruto Uzumaki and Madara Uchiha during the Fourth Great Ninja War.
Seeing Isamu distracted, Ashura seized the opportunity.
He transformed another Truth-Seeking Orb into a black rod, gripped it tightly, and used the Body Flicker Technique to appear directly beside Isamu, bringing the weapon down.
"Susanoo!"
Isamu's pupils narrowed slightly.
A Susanoo arm instantly emerged and blocked Ashura's attack. At the same time, Isamu gathered Chakra and prepared a counterattack.
"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!"
A thin beam of energy shot from Isamu's mouth, instantly slicing Ashura's black rod in two.
Ashura twisted his body to avoid the attack and retreated.
"To release such a powerful technique instantly is indeed impressive, but that level of power is far from enough!"
Although he inwardly acknowledged Isamu's technique, Ashura still stubbornly mocked him.
"Is that so? Then try this!"
A slight smile appeared on Isamu's lips.
He raised one hand above his head, and a half-meter-wide black sphere appeared. It rapidly split into dozens of smaller spheres and shot into the sky.
After stabilizing overhead, the small black spheres emitted a white glow, and a powerful gravitational force erupted.
The ground trembled violently.
Chunks of rock rose from the earth and flew toward the dozens of black spheres.
"Hmm?"
Watching the earth break apart and countless rocks fly into the sky, Ashura frowned as he stared at the spheres overhead.
He hadn't expected such small spheres to possess such tremendous suction. Dodging the flying debris, he began thinking of a way to counter the technique.
Soon, the rocks had all been drawn upward, forming dozens of stone spheres over a hundred meters in diameter.
At the same time, the ground below was left completely devastated, and the dense forest had vanished without a trace.
"Come and test the power of this!"
With a casual wave of his hand, Isamu sent the massive stone spheres crashing down from the sky.
"What, are you planning to use a mutual-destruction tactic against me?" Ashura narrowed his eyes.
After all, both he and Isamu were within the attack's range.
"Mutual destruction? You're overthinking it. I just wanted to see how you'd break this technique."
Isamu knew perfectly well that he was also within the attack radius, but he had no intention of risking everything against Ashura. Right now, he was simply trying to buy as much time as possible for Indra.
"Heh. This technique looks impressive, but it's all for show. No matter how large it appears, it's still nothing more than a bunch of rocks. Breaking it is easy!"
Ashura smiled disdainfully and clapped his hands together.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Immediately, enormous tree trunks over ten meters thick burst from the ground around him and shot toward the descending stone spheres.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The tree trunks collided with the spheres, shattering them one after another. Massive chunks of rock rained down onto the earth below, causing the entire area to tremble violently.
Watching the giant stone spheres being destroyed one after another, Isamu wasn't surprised in the slightest.
These stone spheres created through Yin–Yang Release were little more than paper tigers. They looked powerful, but against a true expert, they served little purpose beyond wasting a bit of time.
Naruto and Sasuke could easily destroy them, let alone Ashura, a powerhouse standing at the very peak of the world.
"Well? Didn't I tell you this move was easy to break?"
Ashura mocked him while controlling the enormous tree trunks to smash the final five stone spheres.
