The forest was alive with the crisp, melodious chirping of birds.
However, despite the tranquil atmosphere, the Sage of Six Paths wore a solemn expression, gripped by an almost irresistible urge to retreat back to the Pure Land.
It was far too awkward.
He had assumed that upon revealing his identity, the other party would at least display some level of awe—if not bowing in reverence, then at the very least showing a proper reaction to meeting a legendary figure.
Yet, contrary to his expectations, the situation had taken an entirely different turn.
Looking at the soul floating quietly in midair, Uchiha Madara remained completely expressionless, his gaze cold and unreadable. He did not utter a single word, conveying his attitude solely through his eyes.
"You came to see me for something?"
"…Indeed."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo nodded slightly before divulging the news of Isshiki's attack on Konoha.
In truth, had it not been for Kyōsuke's interference, his soul might not have escaped so easily.
Since he was the one who had lured the enemy to the village, he felt that he should at least do something to assist.
Kyōsuke was linked to his mother, and Hagoromo found himself disliking him. Meanwhile, Asura's reincarnation was training in the Shikkotsu Forest, where his strength would naturally skyrocket without any need for external aid.
That left only one person who could benefit from his help—the reincarnation of Indra.
Long ago, he had chosen to nurture Asura as his successor, a decision that had sparked a conflict between his sons, leading to a feud that had persisted for a thousand years.
But now, Indra had voluntarily abandoned that struggle.
Perhaps it was time for him to try leaving the future in Indra's hands.
"Stretch out your hand."
A crescent-shaped seal gleamed, radiating a peculiar energy that caused Uchiha Madara's heartbeat to unconsciously accelerate.
Through Kyosuke's explanation, Madara had already learned of the Sage of Six Paths' history. That was precisely why he lacked the reverence most would show a legendary figure.
However, now that the Sage was offering him power, Madara quickly reassessed the situation. Perhaps, just this once, he should at least feign a little politeness.
"Don't order me around."
The moment he opened his mouth, his blunt retort made the Sage of Six Paths roll his eyes in exasperation.
Despite his words, Madara still extended his hand.
Their palms met.
A surge of pure Yin energy flooded into his body, and in an instant, his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan underwent a profound transformation.
"This…"
Madara was utterly stunned.
For so long, he had been
They were all reincarnations of Asura.
And each of them, without hesitation, had sacrificed their lives for his sake.
Without their power, resisting this invader would have been impossible.
However, the sheer vastness of the strength they had left behind…
At the moment, Hashirama simply could not absorb it all.
But time was a luxury he didn't have. He had to return to the village immediately.
He had to stand shoulder to shoulder with his old friends once more, even knowing that his chances of survival were slim—nearly seventy percent against him.
Even the Sage of Six Paths had failed to defeat this foe.
How could he, in his current state, hope to prevail?
But...
"Whether I can win or not is one thing."
"Whether I do something or not is another."
"That bastard Kyōsuke… Sometimes, when I really think about it, his words do make sense."
Behind him, eight Truth-Seeking Orbs slowly floated into existence.
Rising into the sky, Hashirama swiftly flew in the direction of Konohagakure.
He had fused the power of ten Asura reincarnations into his body.
Even though he had yet to fully integrate it, he had already surpassed the threshold of the Six Paths level.
"Wait for me, Madara… Kyōsuke."
---
*BOOOOM!!!*
Madara staggered backward, barely managing to keep his footing.
Three of his Limbo shadows were all that remained.
The rest had been completely obliterated.
Even after reaching the Six Paths level, Madara still could not defeat Isshiki Ōtsutsuki.
And just when the situation was becoming dire…
A familiar, powerful voice echoed through the battlefield.
"Madara! I'm here to assist you!"
At that critical moment, Senju Hashirama finally arrived.
