Chapter 307: Divine Power Unleashed: The Six Paths Dōjutsu
Uchiha Akira, floating over the vast desert expanse, was completely absorbed in the recent, internal surge of power. The chaotic battle against the Shinobi Allied Forces had momentarily paused.
The rewards from the System arrived, one after another, confirming his ascendance.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Six Paths Dōjutsu — [Six Paths: Sealing Jutsu Spirit Imprisonment]!]
[Six Paths: Sealing Jutsu Spirit Imprisonment]
Description: A Six Paths-level exclusive sealing dōjutsu.
Effect 1 (Imprisonment): Can instantly imprison any enemy (including their soul form) and suppress them within the spatial core of [Six Paths: Heaven's Dominion].
Effect 2 (Extraction): Enemies suppressed will have all their power (Chakra, Kekkei Genkai, soul power, life force) continuously extracted by the spatial core, used to strengthen and expand the Heaven's Dominion space.
Effect 3 (Bonus): The Host will receive a portion of the suppressed enemy's extracted power as a direct, permanent bonus!
Perpetual Growth: The more powerful individuals suppressed, the stronger the Heaven's Dominion space becomes, and the more terrifying the power bonus the Host receives!
A terrifying, cold light erupted from Uchiha Akira's eyes!
What an utterly overbearing ability!
This wasn't merely a seal. This was a perpetual, self-sustaining growth mechanism. Capture enemies, lock them in his own pocket dimension, use their life and energy to strengthen his world, and make himself personally stronger in the process!
Just then, another system notification arrived, bringing a detail that even Uchiha Akira found astonishing in its scope.
[Heaven's Dominion Space Special Rule Unlocked: Sentient Being Resonance!]
[Sentient Being Resonance]: Any sentient being who voluntarily enters the Heaven's Dominion space and lives there long-term will have their life energy continuously nourish, strengthen, and expand the Heaven's Dominion space. The more sentient beings that reside, and the more vibrant their life force, the greater the energy they provide!
Not just prisoners, but residents. The strategic implications of this were immense. He could create a self-sustaining source of power simply by founding a civilization within his dimension.
Finally, the system provided the special attack form of the Heaven's Dominion space.
Uchiha Akira's mind stirred. His consciousness instantly returned from the digital display to the sun-scorched desert reality.
He slowly spread open his right hand.
Under his mental control, that newly born pocket dimension, belonging only to him—the Heaven's Dominion—began to condense above his palm.
A tiny, pitch-black singularity appeared first.
Immediately after, it rapidly expanded, solidifying into a perfect, fist-sized, entirely black, mirror-smooth sphere, quietly suspended above Uchiha Akira's palm.
Uchiha Akira could clearly feel the terrifying, incomprehensible mass contained within this seemingly inconspicuous small sphere!
It's the weight of a Great Village! The mass of a mountain!
[Heaven's Dominion: Starfall]
Description: Compresses the entire Heaven's Dominion space into the palm and throws it at the enemy as a physical attack.
Effect: The enemy will bear the physical weight (mass) of the entire Heaven's Dominion space, combined with the energy impact from the total combined strength of all sentient beings (including those suppressed) contained within the space!
Limitation: This form can only be used three times per day.
Uchiha Akira looked at the black sphere in his palm, a slight, cold smile playing on his lips. The power was intoxicating.
He decided to test the purely physical power of this move immediately.
This was only the initial form of the Heaven's Dominion space; it was empty inside, without any energy bonuses from suppressed enemies, possessing only the purest, raw physical weight he could currently generate.
Uchiha Akira casually tossed the black sphere in his palm towards the empty desert ahead. A target-less strike.
The moment the black sphere landed, time seemed to stand still for an instant.
Then.
BOOM!!!
A terrifying impact, impossible to describe in words, spread wildly in all directions, centered on the point of impact! The sheer kinetic force of the miniature mass striking the earth.
The entire earth groaned, protesting the violation of physics!
The air in the impact area was instantly and violently compressed into a vacuum by that terrifying mass!
Centered on the impact point, a colossal, perfectly circular area of ground collapsed violently downwards without warning!
A massive, bottomless crater, its edges incredibly smooth and glass-like due to the fusion of sand under extreme pressure, appeared in the desert!
Its raw destructive power had already far exceeded the scope of a standard Tailed Beast Bomb!
And this was merely the physical attack of the Heaven's Dominion space in its most initial, empty form.
As more powerful individuals are suppressed in the future, and the space continuously expands and strengthens, the power of this move, this 'Starfall,' will continue to increase exponentially!
Uchiha Akira looked at his silent, terrible masterpiece and nodded with deep satisfaction.
Konoha Prison.
Above Konoha Village, space twisted without warning.
The next second, Uchiha Akira's figure appeared on top of the Hokage Rock. He had teleported back via Amenominaka.
The terrifying sight caused by his casual strike in the desert earlier did not stir too many ripples in his heart. That was merely the most primitive and crude use of the Heaven's Dominion space.
What truly interested Uchiha Akira was the second, newly acquired ability. The political and spiritual one.
"Six Paths: Sealing Jutsu Spirit Imprisonment..."
Suppressing enemies. Extracting their power. Making their very life energy his own. And using it to strengthen his world. It was the ultimate, self-serving irony of a conqueror.
Uchiha Akira did not linger on the Hokage Rock.
His gaze locked onto a heavily guarded, specific corner of the Village. That was the hidden entrance to Konoha's maximum security prison.
Konoha Prison, entrance.
Cold, damp, stale air assailed him. Uchiha Akira's figure appeared out of thin air before the reinforced prison gate, his arrival silent and instantaneous.
"Who's there! Identify yourself!"
Two heavily armored ninja guards instantly appeared before Uchiha Akira, their katanas half-drawn from their sheaths, radiating professional killing intent.
But when they clearly saw the newcomer's face—the white and red robes, the calm, regal expression—both of them trembled violently!
"Hokage... Hokage-sama!"
Thud!
Without a second of thought or hesitation, both guards immediately slammed their knees to the ground.
The shock and confusion in their hearts surged like a churning sea! Why would the Hokage-sama personally come to a place like this?
Uchiha Akira ignored the two ANBU's astonishment.
He strode forward, walking directly into the prison's corridor.
As he walked, the ninja guards hidden in the shadows, responsible for the deep security, all felt the weight of his presence. They trembled in their hearts, emerging one by one from the darkness, kneeling on one knee, and bowing their heads in reverence.
An invisible, crushing pressure enveloped the entire prison complex.
Soon, a slightly plump, pale-faced middle-aged man scrambled out from the depths of the prison.
He was the warden of Konoha Prison, a seasoned Jōnin named Takeshi, but now he was utterly terrified.
With a "thud"!
The warden knelt directly before Uchiha Akira.
"Hokage-sama! My Lord! I... I didn't know you would grace us with your presence! I failed to greet you! A crime worthy of death, my Lord!"
"Bring out a prisoner."
A cold voice echoed down the stone corridor.
The warden was startled by the command. He bowed his head even lower, his voice trembling.
"Yes! May I ask which... which criminal Hokage-sama requires?"
"A Chūnin-level strength."
Akira's instructions were minimal. "The crime... doesn't matter."
The crime doesn't matter? The warden was momentarily stunned.
This was clearly to... use someone for a spontaneous experiment!
But the warden dared not hesitate for a moment, nor dared to ask another word. His survival depended on blind obedience.
"Yes! Yes! Your subordinate will see to it immediately!"
The warden scrambled to his feet, using both hands and feet, and ran backward into the depths of the cells, still bowing as he went.
Which of these prisoners held here doesn't have blood on their hands? They are all extremely vicious individuals. Using them to test his new ability, making good use of waste, was perfectly suitable for Konoha's purpose.
"Let's start with a Chūnin to get a feel for the energy extraction," Akira mused.
In the depths of Uchiha Akira's eyes, the concentric rings of the Rinnegan slowly rotated, anticipating the activation of the seal.
"Let's see how big a surprise this so-called Six Paths: Sealing Jutsu Spirit Imprisonment can bring me."
Soon, two guards escorted a man out from the depths of the corridor.
This was a Rogue Ninja, known for assassination, assessed at Chūnin peak strength. He was haggard, but his eyes were still savage.
"Ho... Hokage-sama, the... the person has been brought," the warden muttered, wiping away cold sweat.
Uchiha Akira's gaze fell upon the Rogue Ninja.
The Rogue Ninja also stared intently at Uchiha Akira, without the slightest fear in his eyes—only pure, venomous resentment. He had nothing left to lose.
"Heh... heh heh..."
"I didn't think a worthless piece of trash like me would get to see the legendary Fifth Hokage before I die."
"What? Do you want to personally execute me to display your authority?"
He lunged forward suddenly, gathering his last, desperate physical strength, actually attempting to headbutt Uchiha Akira! A final act of defiance.
The two ANBU escorting him changed their expressions drastically, instantly preparing to subdue the prisoner.
Uchiha Akira's eyes narrowed.
The Rogue Ninja's body stopped abruptly. Half a meter away from Akira's face.
His entire being was fixed, frozen, in mid-air by an irresistible, invisible force. His limbs were completely paralyzed, unable to move a single muscle.
"Noisy." Uchiha Akira uttered two words, indifferent to the threat.
Immediately, a cold, purple aura flowed in his eyes.
"Six Paths: Sealing Jutsu Spirit Imprisonment!"
