"Where did this kid get so many ocular techniques!?" Uchiha Madara muttered under his breath, his voice tinged with disbelief. He couldn't wrap his head around the sheer number of abilities Uchiha Shin was throwing at them. It felt like Shin had an endless deck of cards, each one more devastating than the last.
Every move Shin made was something new—space-time ninjutsu, reality-warping techniques, and now this icy domain. It was all too abstract, too overwhelming.
Hashirama Senju, standing beside Madara, was equally frustrated. The freezing environment was making it difficult for him to move freely. His Wood Release techniques, which usually flowed so effortlessly, were now sluggish and strained under the biting cold.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Shin's eyes had subtly shifted into the majestic form of the Rinnegan. Unlike his Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan, which was more versatile, the Rinnegan was a weapon of pure destruction.
*Crack, crack, crack!!!*
Before Shin could even make a move, the icy domain began to act on its own. The Thousand-Armed Buddha statue, Hashirama's ultimate technique, started to freeze over. Shin wasn't like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who couldn't fully utilize her own abilities. Even though this was his first time using the ice domain, Shin instinctively knew how to manipulate the environment to his advantage.
Massive ice golems rose from the frozen ground, and the snowflakes swirling in the air turned into razor-sharp blades, relentlessly slicing into the Thousand-Armed Buddha.
"Tch!" Hashirama gritted his teeth as he struggled to keep control of the statue. With a roar, he forced the Buddha to break free from the ice and aimed its countless arms at Shin.
"Wood Release: Sage Art Wood Human Technique!" Hashirama bellowed.
The Thousand-Armed Buddha's fists, now cloaked in Susanoo armor, came crashing down like meteors. The ground of the ice domain shattered under the sheer force, and the shockwaves rippled outward like a tidal wave.
But Hashirama and Madara weren't done yet. As the wooden fists rained down, the central Guanyin statue detached itself from the Thousand-Armed Buddha. Though smaller, it was still over a thousand meters tall and moved with surprising speed under Hashirama's control.
Madara, seizing the opportunity, combined his Truth-Seeking Balls with the Guanyin statue. The black orbs merged into one massive sphere, glowing ominously as Madara infused it with the power of his Susanoo. The sphere expanded a hundredfold, its energy crackling with the destructive force of the Six Paths.
"Madara, this contains the power of the Six Paths. If we can hit him with this, we can at least injure him!" Hashirama said, his voice tense. "If we can pin him down for even a moment, we'll have a chance!"
"Obviously, Hashirama!" Madara snapped, his expression grim. His Rinnegan's tomoe spun rapidly as he unleashed his next move.
"Limbo: Border Jail!"
Four shadowy clones, invisible to the naked eye, emerged from the void and rushed toward Shin. Madara planned to use these Limbo clones to restrain Shin and test whether he could sense them. If they could catch him off guard, this might be their only shot.
But Shin wasn't fazed. With a cold smirk, he activated his own Rinnegan.
"Six Paths: Ice Release Absolute Zero!"
The icy domain amplified Shin's Ice Release, freezing the Thousand-Armed Buddha's fists mid-air. The entire battlefield turned into a frozen wasteland, and Madara's Limbo clones were instantly neutralized.
"You think your Limbo clones can stop me? I have my own," Shin said, his voice dripping with disdain. Four of his own Limbo clones materialized, their presence overwhelming Madara's.
Madara's eyes widened in shock. "How…?!"
Shin didn't bother answering. Instead, he focused on the massive Truth-Seeking Ball hovering above the statue. With a flick of his wrist, he summoned his own Truth-Seeking Balls, which quickly transformed into a colossal golden chakra blade.
"Six Paths: Divine Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!" Shin declared, his Rinnegan glowing with an otherworldly light.
The golden blade, infused with the power of the Six Paths and Shin's divine energy, descended with apocalyptic force. The sheer pressure of the attack caused the ice domain to fracture and collapse.
"Six Paths: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken!" Hashirama and Madara countered, combining their chakra to launch the massive Truth-Seeking Ball toward Shin.
The two attacks collided, creating a shockwave that obliterated everything in its path. The ice domain shattered completely, and the resulting spatial distortions tore through the battlefield.
When the dust settled, the Thousand-Armed Buddha was gone, reduced to splinters by the force of Shin's attack. Hashirama and Madara were left standing amidst the wreckage, their bodies battered but still determined.
Shin, however, stood unscathed, his Rinnegan glowing faintly. He glanced to his sides, where Hashirama and Madara had been moments ago, and smirked.
"Otsutsuki Hamura," Shin muttered, his voice carrying a hint of amusement. He could sense the interference from the Pure Land. At the last moment, Hamura had used his space-time ninjutsu to save Hashirama and Madara from certain death.
"Tch, so even the Otsutsuki brothers are getting involved now," Shin thought, his eyes narrowing. He had expected as much. The Otsutsuki siblings weren't the type to sit back and watch.
"Now's our chance, Hashirama!" Madara shouted, snapping Shin out of his thoughts. The two legendary shinobi lunged at him, their hands outstretched.
But Shin was ready. With a smirk, he activated his Rinnegan once more.
"Universal Pull!"
In an instant, Shin swapped places with Madara, causing Hashirama to grab Madara instead. The two legendary shinobi stared at each other in confusion for a split second before Shin's staff came crashing down.
*Boom!!!*
The impact sent them flying, their bodies slamming into the ground with bone-crushing force.
In the Pure Land, Hagoromo and Hamura watched in silence. The battle was far from over, but it was clear that Uchiha Shin was a force unlike anything they had ever seen.
"This kid… he's absorbed the abilities of countless Mangekyō Sharingan," Madara muttered, his voice filled with a mix of awe and frustration. "How are we supposed to fight someone like this?"
Hashirama, lying beside him, could only grimace in agreement. Shin's power was beyond anything they had anticipated. But even so, they couldn't afford to give up. The fate of the world depended on them.
Shin, meanwhile, stood tall, his Rinnegan glowing with an eerie light. He knew the battle was far from over, but he also knew one thing for certain—he was unstoppable.
