Chapter 411

"Bastard, let him go!"

As Naruto shouted, he immediately activated the Six Paths Sage Mode. Even though Kurama was in deep sleep, he could still control most of his chakra and wield the power of the Six Paths.

Whoosh!

Before the two members of Kara could even respond, Sasuke activated his Rinnegan ability—Amenotejikara!

In an instant, he swapped places between his Kusanagi sword and Victor, causing Victor to appear in his grasp. Seeing that Victor was still shackled, Sasuke immediately tossed him backward towards Sai, who had just caught up.

"This is our fight, Naruto and I will handle this! Take Victor and leave!"

"You bastards! Who told you to take him?! Hand Victor back to me!"

Seeing Victor being taken away, Daemon was enraged. He immediately charged toward Naruto and Sasuke at an astonishing speed, leaving both of them visibly shocked.

If it had been in the past, Naruto and Sasuke might not have been able to react in time. But now—

A black Truth-Seeking Orb swiftly flew into Naruto's hands, transforming into a black staff just in time to block Demon's incoming kick.

Boom!

The sheer force of the attack drove Naruto's feet deep into the ground, his arms tingling from the impact. The weight of the blow left him stunned. 'So heavy!'

Whoosh!

Sasuke immediately activated Amenotejikara, appearing behind Demon. With his Chidori Blade in hand, he aimed for Demon's back.

However, just as Sasuke had this thought, his expression stiffened—suddenly, a hole appeared in his body, and blood gushed out violently.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto's eyes widened in shock. He immediately threw a punch at Demon, hoping to force him back.

But before his fist could even land, a stronger force suddenly struck him, sending him flying.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Naruto crashed through more than ten walls before finally coming to a stop.

However, in that brief moment, Sasuke used Amenotejikara to teleport away from Demon's counterattack, appearing beside Naruto.

Seeing both of them affected by his ability, Demon burst into laughter. "Ha! You two idiots think you can take me on?"

Naruto pushed away the rubble around him, emerging unscathed. He walked up to Sasuke, placing a hand on him. "Sasuke, did you figure out what just happened?"

"Not entirely... But the place where I got injured was exactly where I tried to attack him. And you? Weren't you aiming for his head just now?"

As Sasuke spoke, he stood up. Thanks to Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode and Yang Release, his wounds quickly healed.

"That's right. Are you saying it's a counterattack? Our attacks are all being reflected back at us? But we didn't even hit him..."

Naruto frowned before forming a hand seal. "Let me test this out again. His chakra doesn't seem that strong... Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

Poof! Poof! Poof!

Dozens of shadow clones appeared, all charging at Daemon and Boro simultaneously.

Using clones to test the enemy's ability and letting Sasuke's Sharingan observe for weaknesses—this was a strategy they had refined through years of teamwork.

"Heh!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the clones could even attack, they were shattered one after another. There was no visible attack, and not even Naruto's heightened sensory abilities in Six Paths Mode could detect how Demon was striking them.

However, Naruto did notice that Demon was unable to detect some of the more subtle attacks from the clones, yet they were still getting destroyed.

Sasuke, observing closely, spoke with certainty. "Naruto, just as I thought—this guy can automatically reflect attacks without even thinking about it. It seems like he senses killing intent or any intention to harm him, and the attack gets countered instantly."

With the Sharingan's unparalleled analytical abilities, Sasuke quickly deduced Demon's weakness.

Naruto's expression darkened slightly. "That's troublesome. Do we have any way to deal with it?"

"Let's take down the other guy first. As for him, let's try sealing techniques. Cover me, Naruto!"

Sasuke didn't wait for a reply. Using Amenotejikara, he swapped places with one of Naruto's clones, appearing right in front of Boro. In the same instant, he used Amenotejikara again to retrieve his Kusanagi sword.

This sudden switch caught Boro off guard. His incoming punch, originally aimed at Naruto's clone, completely missed.

Lightning crackled around Sasuke's body, and in a blur, he slashed past Boro with his Chidori Blade, splitting him cleanly in half.

This was the same technique that had once cut Madara in half!

Even after dealing the blow, Sasuke didn't lower his guard. Turning around, his Mangekyou Sharingan flared.

Amaterasu!

Kagutsuchi!

"Blazing Thunder God!"

With his abundant chakra, almost as if he had multiple Tailed Beasts sealed within him, and his ocular power at its peak, Sasuke smoothly controlled the Amaterasu flames, splitting them into a dozen fiery blades that pierced through Boro's bisected body.

One of these blades struck Boro's life core, instantly killing him.

Feeling Boro's death, Demon roared in anger. "Oi, Boro! You useless fool, how the hell did you die?!"

Furious, he charged toward Sasuke once more, but Sasuke merely glanced at him before using Amenotejikara to teleport away.

Now that he understood Demon's ability, there was no way he'd let him gain the upper hand.

"All we need to do now is trap him. Naruto, don't even think about attacking him."

"Got it!"

Naruto formed a hand seal. The Truth-Seeking Orbs behind him transformed into black staffs and shot toward Demon from four different directions. Since Naruto wasn't harboring any intent to attack, they weren't reflected back.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four Truth-Seeking Orbs embedded themselves into the ground around Demon before rapidly expanding and linking together.

Now fully in control of Six Paths Sage Mode, Naruto's Truth-Seeking Orbs were far stronger than before. And while Demon was powerful, he wasn't on the same level as Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Even if Jigen absorbed as much chakra from the Ten Tails as possible, he could only approach Isshiki's level—whereas Naruto had already reached full Six Paths Tier.

"Damn it..."

Demon's face twisted with rage. Just as he was about to break free from the Truth-Seeking Orbs, a space-time portal suddenly opened behind him. A hand emerged, grabbing Demon by the collar and pulling him in.

"Jigen?!"

Both Sasuke and Naruto's expressions darkened upon seeing the portal.

"Uchiha, Hokage... this isn't over. You will never win."

Jigen's voice echoed as the portal vanished—without him ever showing his face.

As the space-time distortion faded, Naruto turned to Sasuke. "Sasuke..."

"We can't chase after them. We don't know how many other monsters like that short guy are on the other side. But... Jigen is still weak. He hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Yeah. Our best bet is to track them down and gather the Five Great Villages to eliminate them."

Naruto nodded. Even though they had the chance, he agreed that going after them alone was too risky.
