Yuta Vs Sage of Six Paths

The illusory gate to the Pure Land opened with the gesture of the Sage of Six Paths. A shrill and sinister laugh echoed from within.

The first being to step through the gate and enter this realm was none other than the Shinigami.

The massive phantom of the Shinigami sank into the body of the Sage of Six Paths, causing his once-ethereal Chakra form to solidify further.

After all, he was only existing as a soul. For the Sage of Six Paths, creating a new body through Yin-Yang Release and reviving himself was possible, but not worth the cost.

Even if he forged a new body, it would eventually decay and wither.

Furthermore, creating a body strong enough to contain his soul would drain a significant amount of his strength and take a long time to recover from.

If he were to create a physical form, his power might actually decline, making him less capable of fighting against Yuta.

Thus, rather than creating a new body, it was better to remain as a soul entity and strengthen himself through other means.

This Shinigami that wandered the Pure Land without much intelligence, was the perfect tool. And in addition, there was also the Yin Nine Tails he had previously unsealed from Minato's soul.

"Old man, can you beat him?"

Nine Tails emerged through the passage, stepping back into the living world. Staring at Yuta, Nine Tails couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Even though he deeply respected the Sage of Six Paths for creating him, he had no confidence in his ability to fight Yuta.

After all, the Sage of Six Paths had been dead for thousands of years. He only existed as a soul, while Yuta was at his peak.

"Don't underestimate me."

Hagoromo didn't seem nervous in the slightest.

"He's just a misguided young man who needs to be taught a lesson."

Hearing this, Nine Tails' tension eased slightly.

He then fully relaxed, allowing his Chakra to be completely controlled by Hagoromo.

Swish!

Golden Chakra surged into Hagoromo, making him appear even more powerful.

"Hamura, what will you do? Will you fight alongside me?"

Hagoromo transferred part of his power to his younger brother, Hamura.

Yuta didn't bother to stop it. He didn't seem to care which side Hamura would choose.

"Brother, must you go this far?"

Hamura sighed, trying to persuade him.

"We both died thousands of years ago. Shouldn't we entrust the future to the younger generation?"

"Even if they make mistakes, we can correct them when the time comes."

"I refuse to interfere now."

Hagoromo wasn't surprised by Hamura's decision. He merely shook his head and stood firm in his beliefs.

He said, "Yuta is in the wrong. We can't allow him to continue down this path."

On the other side, Yuta finally spoke, "I happen to think your ideology is wrong. You're just a foolish, stubborn old man."

"Even if you don't attack me, I have no intention of letting people like you lurk in the shadows, secretly manipulating the world."

"You, and the reincarnations of your two sons—all these endless disputes—it's time to end this!"

Hagoromo's expression darkened and he said, "Stubborn fool!"

He let out a cold snort as blue Chakra erupted from his body, forming a massive blue giant.

Susanoo!

This was the Susanoo of the Sage of Six Paths himself.

Unlike the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan's perfect Susanoo, what the Sage of Six Paths had summoned was a truly perfect Susanoo.

It was over a thousand meters tall, and had wings on its back. This was the power that once rivaled the Ten Tails.

"Unfortunately, my current state is far from my peak."

Hagoromo analyzed his condition, sighing to himself.

"However, this much is more than enough to deal with an arrogant junior who doesn't know his place."

Below, Toneri stood in shock, staring at the colossal blue giant.

In terms of size alone, his Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion could match this form. But when it came to Chakra control, he was vastly inferior.

To compress such immense Chakra to this extent!

It was simply unbelievable!

"Is my control of power truly this poor?"

Toneri recalled Yuta's previous criticism of him and couldn't help but feel disheartened.

"Don't underestimate yourself."

Hamura consoled him and said, "You have great talent, but my brother's talent is even greater."

"Moreover, his understanding of Chakra far surpasses yours."

This was the first time Hamura had seen his brother fight this seriously since their battle against Kaguya.

During the conflict that drove Indra and Asura apart, the Sage of Six Paths had only supported Asura.

He hadn't fought personally.

If he was serious, even if Indra and Asura combined forces, they wouldn't stand a chance.

"Is this the power you believe can stop me?"

Yuta's voice was filled with disdain.

Seeing that Hagoromo wasn't making any further moves, Yuta seemed disappointed.

"If this is all, then I'm not impressed."

"I can do that just as easily."

As soon as he spoke, a golden armor engulfed his body, and a gigantic golden phantom rapidly expanded, reaching the same height as the Sage of Six Paths' Susanoo.

But that wasn't all.

Standing atop his Susanoo's head, Yuta raised a single palm.

In an instant, a Truth-Seeking Ball, infused with the ultimate compressed Chakra, manifested. Then, it transformed into a dazzling golden sword.

A Golden Susanoo, wielding the Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion sword, now stood face-to-face with the Sage of Six Paths' Susanoo.

"..."

Hagoromo, Hamura, and the others stiffened.

They had known Yuta was strong, but only now did they realize that they had still underestimated him.

"If this were before, dealing with you might have taken some effort."

Yuta controlled the Susanoo, raising the brilliant golden sword high.

"But now?"

"Even though you took half of Nine Tails, making it a little more difficult for me—"

"We are simply not on the same level anymore."

Before absorbing Ten Tails' Chakra, Yuta had already reached the Six Paths level.

At that time, he had an advantage over Hagoromo, but defeating him outright wouldn't be easy.

At least, he wouldn't be able to crush him as effortlessly as he had done with Madara and Toneri.

But now—

Yuta had ascended to a realm beyond even that.
