"Lord Seimei."
Listening to Seimei's words, Kaito, who had always been 100% confident, felt a rare sense of unease. He couldn't help but bow deeply to Seimei's illusion.
"Although I don't believe I live up to such praise from Lord Seimei, I will certainly not disappoint your high expectations."
Seimei's illusion smiled, secretly winking at Madara and Izuna.
"There's no need to be so uneasy, Kaito-kun," he said with a tone of deep sincerity. "What I said comes from the heart, and I believe Kaito-kun will bring a bright future to the planet."
"Yes! I will definitely achieve it!" Kaito raised his head, his eyes shining with determination, feeling an endless surge of motivation.
Still too young, huh...
The little fox has been tricked by the old fox!
Izuna stifled a laugh.
But this is good too. This kid has always been a bit lazy, so this kind of encouragement might make him more proactive in the future.
"Sigh..."
The Sage of Six Paths let out a deep sigh.
"What a pity. It seems we cannot reach a consensus with Lord Seimei."
His expression was sorrowful, as if deeply hurt, the lines on his face seeming to grow deeper.
"I was born on this planet, raised on this planet, and have devoted my entire life to protecting it, never giving up even after death. Yet, I never expected to be rejected by Lord Seimei because of my origins."
"Brother."
"Father!"
Both Hamura and Asura looked at him with concern.
Only Indra remained expressionless, glancing at him briefly before quickly looking away, a hint of mockery flashing across his face.
Seimei carefully observed the expressions on their faces, then curled his lips into a smile.
"Words are meaningless now."
The Sage of Six Paths composed himself and ordered, "Hamura, Indra, Asura, from this moment on, do not let anyone approach this array."
With that, he tapped his staff heavily on the ground once more. Golden light erupted from countless nodes within the array, and the talismans Seimei had placed earlier shattered one by one.
The gray aura of the Pure Land churned beneath his feet, accelerating its erosion of the array's spiritual energy.
For a moment, the blue spiritual energy left by Kaito within the array began to retreat steadily.
"Old man! You should have done this earlier!!"
Indra was the first to dash forward, instantly closing the distance to Seimei. Black flames burned in his hand as he thrust it toward Seimei's chest.
Seimei's body dissipated like an illusion, reappearing in another direction.
However, Asura's chakra-clad fist was already coming straight at him.
Seimei leaned back to dodge, but Indra was already standing behind him.
The two brothers crossed paths, and Seimei's body completely shattered, scattering into golden fragments of light.
"Yare yare... I'm not much of a fighter," Seimei's complaining voice echoed.
Indra and Asura followed the sound and saw Seimei standing on the palm of Susanoo's left hand, fanning himself as if he had never moved.
"Go."
Seimei stomped his foot, leaving a Kikyo seal on Susanoo's palm before his figure once again dissolved into golden light and disappeared.
"Perfect timing!"
Susanoo's eyes transformed into the Rinnegan once more, and Madara's voice came from within. A long sword reappeared in Susanoo's hand, slashing toward Asura and Indra.
"Bring it on!"
Indra's eyes spun, and in an instant, another Susanoo appeared, wielding a sword to meet the attack.
The two blades collided, creating a deafening clash. The resulting shockwave swept through the area, causing everyone's hair and clothes to flutter wildly in the wind.
"Don't forget me!"
Asura rode a wooden dragon into the air, and a giant wooden golem punched toward the golden Susanoo controlled by Madara.
"Hahahaha..." Madara let out a maniacal laugh. "Uchiha's progenitor, I have surpassed you!"
"Limbo: Border Jail!"
Boom!
An unseen attack struck the head of Indra's Susanoo, causing the massive figure to tilt backward.
Boom!
Asura was directly knocked off his wooden dragon, his body plummeting toward the ground.
"You arrogant brat!"
Indra's Susanoo spewed black flames from its mouth. Asura's falling body was caught by the wooden golem, and the wooden dragon soared into the air, coiling and rushing toward Madara's golden Susanoo.
"Not even close! Shinra Tensei!!"
A massive force of repulsion erupted, sending both Indra's Susanoo and Asura's wooden golem flying backward.
The black flames of Amaterasu were deflected, scattering sparks that ignited fires throughout the hall.
"Damn it!"
Indra, having suffered a blow from his own reincarnated body, was utterly enraged.
"As expected, the Rinnegan is powerful!"
Asura, on the other hand, seemed unfazed, simply marveling at the display.
The two of them controlled their Susanoo and wooden golem, standing up once more to block the golden Susanoo.
"We're not alone here."
Kaito's voice rang out.
The left eye of the golden Susanoo suddenly transformed into a five-pointed star-shaped Mangekyō Sharingan.
Indra and Asura's vision was filled with a shower of cherry blossom petals, which disappeared as quickly as they had appeared.
Before they could react, the golden Susanoo's left eye shifted back to the Rinnegan. Its long sword had already severed the wooden dragon and deeply slashed into the wooden golem's shoulder, cutting off one of its arms.
"So fast!"
Indra and Asura were startled.
"Was that the eye technique just now?"
Indra manipulated his Susanoo to slash at the golden Susanoo from the side, but the golden Susanoo swiftly retreated, its movements appearing as afterimages in his eyes.
A time-manipulating ability?
Indra frowned.
No, the Mangekyō Sharingan couldn't have such a powerful technique. It must be an illusion.
"Ha!" He unleashed the power of his eyes.
Sure enough, the scene before him slowed down.
It wasn't a technique that directly affected time, but an illusion that manipulated the perception of time!
"Asura, dispel the illusion!!" he shouted urgently.
"A technique amplified by the combined power of three pairs of eyes—he'll never break it!"
The golden Susanoo unleashed another wave of repulsion, pushing Indra back, and continued slashing toward Asura.
Asura tried to release chakra to dispel the illusion, but it didn't work.
The massive golden blade was already descending upon him.
Swoosh!
A brilliant golden sword beam fell from the sky, splitting Asura atop the wooden golem in two, then cleaving the massive wooden golem in half. The attack continued unabated, heading straight for the Sage of Six Paths within the array.
"Hakke: Rokujūyon Shō!"
Hamura struck out with a palm strike, and sixty-four concentrated bursts of chakra shot from his palm, shattering the sword beam just outside the array.
"Tch, a wood clone?"
The bisected Asura turned into wood, and the golden Susanoo turned to face Indra.
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths was fully focused on using the Pure Land's aura to erode the array, while Hamura stood guard at the edge of the array, wary of Seimei's disappearance.
Just as the gray Pure Land aura was about to reach the sun and moon pattern where Enma's body and the Box of Ultimate Bliss were located, Seimei's voice finally rang out again.
"It seems Enma's power is also unconsciously resisting the Pure Land!"
Seimei formed hand seals and suddenly reappeared on the opposite side of the array, directly across from Hamura.
"Ten'i, Tatsu, Suzaku, Roku, Kōchin, Seiryū, Tenkō, Tai'in, Genbu, Taijō, Byakko, Tenkū!"
Twelve figures of varying sizes appeared simultaneously around the circular array.
"And finally, Tamamo-no-Mae!"
A stunning beauty in luxurious court attire smiled gracefully. Her fox ears twitched atop her head, and nine fluffy tails swayed behind her as she stood seductively in front of Hamura.
