The attack of the towering Buddha was astonishingly powerful.
When unleashed at full strength, thousands of gigantic hands surged forward together, powerful enough to even shatter Uchiha Madara's Susanoo armor.
As for the ants-sized shinobi below, under such an onslaught, a mere graze meant serious injury, and a direct hit meant death!
Yet Arima still showed restraint, employing less than thirty percent of his full power.
The Three Kage and Miyadera, battered by repeated blows from the colossal statue, were momentarily disoriented and nearly lost their bearings.
When they finally regained consciousness, only the four of them remained as the fighting force on the battlefield.
Kazekage felt powerless, looking up at the colossal statue whose top was out of sight, muttering to himself, "Is this really the confidence that Konoha wields to balance the shinobi world?!"
One of Onoki's arms had already been broken. He twisted his body slightly, trying to ease the sharp pain radiating from the broken bone.
Seeing Kazekage's defeated expression, Onoki's anger flared. Reluctantly, he said.
"You're already despairing? Remember, he didn't even use his Susanoo! Alone, he could sweep across all the shinobi villages! This time I admit defeat!"
Yuno had no intention to keep resisting. It was clear Arima had held back; otherwise, most of the elite troops he'd brought would have been slaughtered far from home.
Miyadera, having been "singled out" by Arima earlier, was far more seriously injured than the other three, and even the Death Gate technique was becoming difficult to maintain.
Feeling utterly humiliated, as if a complete clown, Miyadera roared upward in anger.
"Fine! Fine! I have always been toyed with at your whim! Come then, Zero-Tails, I offer you my soul! Let this city vanish with me!"
Miyadera pressed both hands to the ground, tapping into the Zero-Tails' chakra network woven beneath the entire city.
He drew the massive chakra reserves stored at the city's center into his body and completely fused his mind and body with the Zero-Tails.
The Zero-Tails was released once more, seeing daylight again. Its unsealing caused the sky to suddenly darken with heavy clouds, howling winds, flashes of lightning, and booming thunder.
With the city's power source severed, the floating island began to disintegrate. Massive rocks and earth debris rained down toward the desert below.
Arima immediately withdrew his true thousand hands and simultaneously dispatched thousands of shadow clones to rush down and rescue the severely injured shinobi.
The Three Kage, surprised that Arima would actively save their comrades, were momentarily confused by his actions. However, with time pressing, the three quickly began the rescue.
At the same time, the Zero-Tails took advantage of the chaos to flee toward the Roran, where its coveted leyline lay.
It also feared Arima, wanting to keep as far away from this calamity as possible.
But Arima would not let it escape. Clasping his hands together, he performed the Sage Art: Gate of the Great God Technique.
From the sky, multiple red torii gates descended, striking the Zero-Tails midair and forcing it down, tightly sealing it on the desert sands.
After finishing this, Arima swiftly returned to the island's power core, where he finally saw the meteorite brought from Hoshigakure.
The moment he touched the purple, hollowed meteorite, his system's voice rang in his mind.
"Detected Ten-Tails fragment. Exchange for Six Paths chakra?"
Arima was both shocked and thrilled by this news.
It now seemed that fusing the chakra of the nine tailed beasts would result in a fundamental transformation into Ten-Tails chakra.
The Ten-Tails was clearly deeply connected to the Sage of Six Paths himself, perhaps the Sage was once the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki!
Arima chose to convert the meteorite into Six Paths chakra, and his system immediately deducted 200,000 virtue points from his account, causing him some pain.
The meteorite soon turned to ash, and several strands of black chakra entered his body, merging with his own chakra network.
He immediately felt a substantial enhancement in his Sharingan's power and increased sensitivity to natural energy.
Arima began gathering the Six Paths chakra bit by bit, concentrating it all into his right eye. Soon, he sensed strange changes taking place there.
He created a shadow clone and used its vision to observe his right eye's transformation.
The clone carefully examined the eye, watching the three tomoe spin rapidly.
In an instant, the pattern morphed into a Mangekyo Sharingan triangular design.
The triangular Mangekyo spun continuously, and after a few breaths, the pattern dissolved into several concentric circles.
These circles seemed on the verge of producing several tomoe, but ultimately lacked the strength and remained as concentric rings.
At that moment, the system displayed.
"Single Rinnegan awakened. Six Paths chakra fully consumed."
Arima reabsorbed his clone and instantly received its memories.
He knew his right eye had undergone a miraculous evolution, an eye even higher in rank than the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
The Rinnegan.
Suddenly, countless strange memories flooded his mind, allowing him to use the ocular jutsu inherent to the Rinnegan without training, much like when he had first awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
First came two fundamental abilities. Almighty Push and Universal Pull.
In addition, his eye power had evolved, gaining a new technique called Kaminosu.
When he used ninjutsu, the affected target felt as if they were being drawn into Takamagahara, the celestial realm, where time moved slowly, while the mortal world changed drastically.
Arima was utterly astonished. He even began to doubt the origin of his power. Could it really be a gift from the gods? Such an overpowered ocular jutsu should never exist in this world.
As he continued processing the information, Arima realized this eye had significant limitations, each use required chakra proportional to its ocular power, resulting in different cooldown periods.
He also now wielded Yin-Yang Release techniques to create black rods capable of severely disrupting chakra, power comparable to sealing jutsu.
All of this had happened in less than a few minutes. The floating fortress above was still breaking apart, and cracks were beginning to appear in the core where Arima stood.
He sensed the entire city sinking rapidly, accelerating toward the desert floor, with impact expected within dozens of breaths.
Arima decided to test the might of the Almighty Push. Raising his arm, he gathered a vast amount of chakra into his hands and aimed them at the looming boulders above his head.
Upon activating Almighty Push, he felt a massive repulsive force radiate outward from his body, destroying the underground space entirely and expelling everything within.
The effect resembled a tailed beast bomb detonating at that spot.
Arima was satisfied with the technique's power, though it consumed a great deal of chakra. After the test, he ceased channeling chakra into his right eye, which quickly returned to normal.
He then sensed the Flying Thunder God technique seal left on the bird's arm, teleporting instantly to his side.
Everyone had just transferred the wounded onto the giant bird created by the Super Beast Imitation Art.
Suddenly, a massive explosion rocked the city center. Looking toward the source, they saw it reduced to ruins, with the Third Hokage, Arima, standing resolutely amid the rubble.
They were all speechless with shock, especially the Three Kage.
The three feared and even dreaded Arima. If he unleashed such ninjutsu in their villages, their entire villages would be razed to the ground.
Onoki asked weakly, "What do you plan to do next?"
Mizukage squinted and stared into their eyes, not answering directly, muttering, "Mist Village has been developing quite well lately."
Kazekage nodded. "The environment in the Sand Village is harsh. If we could cooperate with Konoha, maybe the Third Hokage could help us build a thriving forest around our village."
Onoki could see their intentions, they had completely given up resisting Konoha. Clearly, they no longer had the qualifications to fight against Arima.
The Land of Earth had no shortage of resources, and Iwagakure scoffed at cooperating with Konoha to build a shinobi world community.
But the situation had surpassed human control. What options did Onoki have?
He had no choice but to compromise. He couldn't watch his village be isolated by other great powers in the shinobi world.
Once Arima united the four great shinobi villages, the next target would inevitably be Iwagakure. Judging by his ruthless style, he wouldn't hold back.
As the three pondered their next moves, Arima used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport onto the bird carrying Yuna.
Yuna was thrilled and proud seeing her father's overwhelming power.
She admired him deeply and noticed something different about his right eye, though on closer inspection, nothing seemed unusual.
Curious, she thought, 'Father's right eye seems to have undergone some inexplicable change!'
Arima then led everyone flying toward Roran, planning to rest and resolve post-battle issues there.
The Zero-Tails was temporarily sealed by the Gate of the Great God Technique, buried deep within the ruins of the floating fortress, so there was no immediate need to worry about it.
Suddenly, Arima sensed his seal on the underground leyline of Roran had been triggered!
Normally, Queen Seramu wouldn't activate the leyline, something unknown was happening in Roran!
Arima left a clone to guard the Three Kage and ordered Yuna and the others to hasten toward Roran, while he himself rushed there immediately.
Unease grew in Arima's heart. It seemed the mastermind behind the Sky Shinobi had not been completely eliminated, and their original goal was the leyline all along. They had cleverly lured them away.
Arima gazed toward Roran, hoping his backup could hold off the enemy for just a little longer.
