Fourth Battle 5
Explosions are a means of mutual destruction, but Madara in his Six Paths form is confident that this is a way to kill a thousand enemies while ensuring his own safety. As long as this seal is broken, everything is not over yet.
Just then, Edo Tobirama appeared, reaching for the Truth-Seeking Ball with his bare hands, intending to use Flying Thunder God Technique to escape, but his hand was severed.
Eraser! Eraser!
Luffy stretched out his leg and flicked the Truth-Seeking Ball away.
Madara's cheek twitched, as if he wanted to do something else, when the ground began to shake violently. His body began to writhe, and the shapes of tailed beasts emerged from within, scrambling to break free.
Oops!
I can't use chakra anymore!
Black Zetsu watched helplessly as the scene unfolded exactly as it had a thousand years ago, letting out a mournful wail as his body was pulled back by the seal and shrunk into Luna's wand.
Madara, in a desperate attempt to fight to the death, unleashed the power of his Rinnegan, charging towards Luna's face. Seeing the little girl's eyes spurting blood and her pupils turning white, and the restraints around her waist loosening, he seized the opportunity, desperately trying to knock Naruto and Sasuke away, only to find that he still couldn't freely control his chakra.
What is it?
Are these two brats the main force behind the seal?
Pfft!
The last part of Black Zetsu was sealed into the wand, and the wings that were later added were burned, leaving the bare wand looking like a rotten piece of wood.
Its plight went completely unnoticed by Madara, who was focused on Sasuke and Naruto blocking his way. Madara recalled the technique they had just used—was it the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei?
Oops!
That little girl's seal wasn't aimed at me!
Madara reacted immediately. He controlled the Truth-Seeking Ball staff and slashed it hard across his waist. Having lost his lower body and the power of the Ten-Tails from the Gedo Mazo, he used the staff to let his shadow carry him away.
hateful!
Just one step away!
Rocks continued to pelt Madara, and with a deafening roar, the explosion in the sky was momentarily halted for a few seconds. The tailed beasts began to surge outwards, falling to the ground with a thud.
Everyone around began to evacuate; those who remained would only be sealed away together. They ran as fast as they could, wishing they had eight legs.
Luna, supported by Naruto, was terrified by the sight of her blood-covered face and her Sharingan eyes devoid of their original color. Zoro and Luffy arrived and carried them away, allowing Luna to escape as well.
“Izumi-nee’s eyes, her eyes…” Naruto could see it too; Izumi-nee’s Sharingan was no longer usable.
Sasuke followed silently, glancing at his brother beside him.
Itachi's expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at Luna once more.
Orochimaru and Kabuto were in a dilemma. Uchiha Izumi had sacrificed so much this time; what if they were asked to create Sharingan eyes later? This would be a difficult situation.
Wait, if she doesn't have the Sharingan, then she won't be afraid of being threatened.
fine!
"I'm fine." Luna didn't know who was holding her. The touch definitely wasn't Luffy's, and the well-proportioned muscles made her wonder if it was Zoro or Ace.
It should be Zoro, right?
Ace's body temperature is relatively high.
"Anyway... let's hurry back to find Chopper." Zoro was unusually calm. He, Luffy, and Ace were not good at healing, so they had to ask Chopper for help with this.
"Chopper can definitely heal you." Luffy nodded in agreement; Yunxiu certainly wouldn't go blind so easily.
The nine tailed beasts chased after Madara, wanting to do something immediately, but they held back because the ground behind them was still cracking. Rocks were constantly being absorbed by the seal in the sky, and they had to retreat to a more distant place.
Seeing the ever-growing sphere, the surrounding ninjas were terrified and immediately fled to the outer edges, not wanting to stay and contribute to its growth. The ground behind them continued to crack, with rocks constantly being thrown into the sky, forming a gigantic, sky-covering sphere.
As they ran, Luna felt everyone stop, and she was put down. She asked softly, "Kabuto-kun, could you please wash my eyes?"
"Of course." Kabuto Yakushi smiled unconsciously, a habit he'd maintained for so many years.
The cool water mixed with the medicinal liquid, and Luna felt much better in her aching eyes. However, her blind, pure white eyes looked somewhat eerie. Since she couldn't see herself, she didn't pay much attention to it, closing her eyes and letting the medicine 'wash' her face.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kabuto noticed Luffy, Zoro, Ace, and Naruto staring at him nervously. While Sasuke and Itachi weren't constantly watching him, their gazes were still fixed on him. This kind of pressure was truly…someone who was on his mind.
You must be so happy to have so many people worrying about you.
Luna wiped her face with her sleeve and 'looked' at Uchiha Madara, who had grown legs but was very weak. He had broken free of his Six Paths form, revealing his body clad only in his underwear. His Rinnegan eyes were filled with hatred, resentment, and raging fury.
Having lost the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he should now be in a state of paralysis, almost unable to move.
Luna activated her 'drone perspective', with her mental constructs guiding the way. She swiftly ran towards Madara, and as he attempted to block, she struck him on the forehead. A strange mark appeared on her palm, glowing and spreading across Madara's forehead.
Everyone was stunned, sensing something was wrong. There seemed to be a chakra fluctuation just now, an incredibly strong chakra fluctuation for a moment.
Are they spots?
The tailed beasts were all startled, instinctively shaking their tails and quietly shifting their feet backward. That eerie familiarity gave them all a bad feeling.
As expected, Madara, who was almost unable to stand, regained his footing. His chakra became incredibly powerful, his hair moved without wind, and purple sage technique marks appeared on his lower eyelids.
"What did you do?" Tobirama's expression changed. This Uchiha girl saved Madara? What is she going to do?
"What's the rush? Once the Ten-Tails is completely removed, he'll die immediately." Luna's expression was indifferent; she hated being questioned.
Edo Tensei Hashirama, holding his younger brother who had only one arm left, sensed something was wrong with Madara's condition.
What's this?
Is this Madara's chakra?
Madara stood there quietly, his Rinnegan having degenerated into the Sharingan, though his eyes were no longer bright, appearing somewhat dim and lifeless. He saw something different; he saw the truth of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and he saw why this little Uchiha girl had come to stop him.
"Hahaha~ Isn't it too late to say all this now?" Ban's smile was bitter and mocking. What had he done in the second half of his life?
Luna glanced at Ban's face, raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered, "Ancestor, speak more politely, you're going crazy."
Sasuke & Itachi: ? ? ?
Others: Who are you calling ancestor?
"This can't be changed by tone or wording." 'Ban's' voice changed as soon as he opened his mouth, and everyone knew that Ban had changed his identity.
The local ninjas were furious at this turn of events and looked at Luna in astonishment.
The tailed beasts were truly in a frenzy; Kurama's tail had thickened considerably, and the entire fox had transformed into a chubby fox. It raised its paw and stammered.
"In...Indra?"
Sasuke and Naruto's eyes widened upon hearing the name, and they looked at Madara Uchiha. They had met the Sage of Six Paths before, but why was his son here?
Is Madara not just a reincarnation of chakra?
"Why are you here?" Kurama didn't understand; Kurama was going crazy.
"Quiet down, I'll be leaving soon." 'Ban' glanced at the fox, looking very impatient.
Nine-Tailed Fox quickly covered its mouth, lay down on the ground looking aggrieved, and its fur gradually straightened. Its big tail swished back and forth, fully demonstrating what it meant to be angry but dare not speak out.
"What exactly is going on between you and Uchiha Izumi?" Sasuke took two steps forward. This ancestor is the real ancestor.
Who is Indra?
Naruto nodded vigorously beside him, completely baffled by this turn of events. Seeing that the First and Second Hokage were also confused, he explained Indra's identity. Only then did everyone realize that calling someone their ancestor was perfectly appropriate; this was Indra, the progenitor of the Uchiha clan.
"I cannot interfere in the world of the living," Madara said, glancing at Sasuke as an explanation.
"Then she..."
"I am an outsider, so whether I monitor or exclude them, it is my duty," Luna said with a calm smile, her expression somewhat indifferent, perhaps because her eyes were closed.
Itachi's eyes flickered, understanding what this meant.
'Ban' stood before Luna, raising his hand to press on her forehead. He had come specifically to offer payment, but this time Luna had her family with her, making it impossible to pay as before. Also, he wanted to help the person who had waited decades by guiding their brother's soul into the underworld.
A soul like Ban, who has wandered for decades, will find it very difficult to find the entrance to the other shore.
Ban, who had been living in seclusion, suddenly shuddered, his near-death body seemingly coming back to life. The person he had longed for appeared before him, and he pursed his lips, his eyes welling up with tears.
So, his younger brother had been waiting for him for decades?
Luffy and Zoro both stared at Luna, making sure she didn't show any resistance, and let the person continue. A surge of immense power erupted from her body, which had exhausted its chakra, and the chakra seed in her abdomen suddenly grew more than ten times its original size.
Luna almost cried tears of joy. Now she would never have to use Susanoo for five minutes again. She could now use it for at least an hour, and later for half an hour. With the addition of large-scale genjutsu, the limitations of the Sharingan were finally reduced.
Hooray!
"The power of these eyes is not enough to restore your sight." 'Ban' said, frowning slightly. He was too late; he couldn't save those eyes.
"I also have a few pairs of three-tomoe jewels hidden away." Madara thought for a moment and decided to share his private stash. If it weren't for her intervention, it would have been truly irreversible. He only wanted the Infinite Tsukuyomi, not an alien invasion of his homeland.
"Thanks!" Luna smiled, revealing two small dimples, having just taken Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan. How could she dare to use her Sharingan against the Rinnegan without prior authorization?
Kabuto, who clearly saw what she did, couldn't help but twitch his lips. Who was carrying Obito's body? It seems no one brought it out, right?
Great, it saves us the trouble of destroying the evidence.
"Ancestor, is there anything else?" she asked obediently, clearly satisfied with the reward.
Ban sighed wearily and said helplessly, "Bury him."
"Received. Professional team, your satisfaction is guaranteed!" Luna saluted, eager to finish quickly so she could test the power of Susanoo.
"Is this what our gang does?" Zoro nudged Luffy's arm with his elbow, teasing him with amusement.
"Should we dig a hole?" Luffy blinked, knowing that Yunxiu wouldn't do anything reckless.
"No rush, let's go pick a good location first."
"I'm not dead yet." Madara, who was being carried by Ace, twitched his forehead violently.
Let's at least wait until he breathes his last!
Are kids these days so infuriating?
Edo Tensei Hashirama was suppressing a laugh. Even though Madara was about to die, why was it so hard for him to hold back?
Hahaha!
I'm not laughing!
Indra didn't stand on ceremony, leaving Madara's body and pulling out his soul in the process. Madara, who had just been lively and energetic, suddenly rolled his eyes and died.
Onlookers: Wow!
Having done everything she needed to do, Luna happily called to Luffy and the others that she was going to collect her reward and then return to continue her joyful adventure: the vast universe is still waiting for us!
"Oh!" Luffy cheered happily. He had seen so many interesting things and would tell his crew about them when he got back.
"Wait, Izumi-neechan?" Naruto was a little confused. What outsider? He didn't understand.
"Naruto-kun, bye-bye, our comrades are waiting for us." Luna waved and left with three laborers and a corpse.
—The Fourth Shinobi World War has ended.
