Leo held Uchiha Madara's left hand tightly with his right.
"Six Paths: Ten Tails Coffin Seal!!"
At the same time, Leo placed his left palm against Madara's chest.
"Ten Tails Sacred Tree—Bind!"
> [System Grid No. 77:
Ten Tails Sacred Tree × 4!]
Now,
> [System Grid No. 77:
Ten Tails Sacred Tree × 3!]
---
"Ugh… Aaaaaaah!!!"
Uchiha Madara let out an agonizing scream. Pain surged through him as Leo's right hand maintained the seal, and the enormous power of the Ten Tails Divine Tree poured from Leo's left hand into Madara's chest, spreading through his entire being.
Though on the brink of death, Madara's body struggled violently as immense chakra rushed into him once more.
"Argh—!"
Boom!
With a fierce roar, Uchiha Madara's chakra exploded outward.
---
At the scene, Naruto and the others stared in complete shock.
"Damn it, stop this!" Uchiha Sasuke shouted, activating Amenotejikara, the Heavenly Hand Power. In a flash, he appeared beside Leo, his Chidori infused with Yin Power ready to strike.
But—
BANG!!
An invisible force blasted Sasuke backward before he could land a hit. Blood spurted from the corner of his mouth as he crashed to the ground.
"What the hell…!" Sasuke muttered in disbelief, staring at the figures that had appeared.
Over a dozen shadowy clones surrounded Leo and Madara—clones that bore the exact chakra signature and presence of Uchiha Madara himself.
"That's... Madara's Limbo clones?!" Naruto, in Six Paths Sage Mode, gasped.
But then—
"No... wait..."
"There are more than just four…"
"There are sixteen Limbo shadows!!"
---
The Sage of Six Paths narrowed his eyes, Rinnegan glowing faintly. Around him, the nine Tailed Beasts instinctively recoiled, a strange fear crawling into their hearts.
And then—
Zing—
A familiar aura returned.
Uchiha Madara's Six Paths cloak shimmered to life once again. Nine pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs hovered behind him, and the Six Paths Staff reformed in his hand.
Lavender Rinnegan. Crimson, nine-tomoe Sharingan. His eyes blazed with terrifying pupil power.
As he stood once more—
Boom!
A tidal wave of power, the sheer force of the Ten Tails, erupted from his body.
---
"He's… he's returned to that form again…" Sakura's voice trembled in horror.
Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi—everyone stared in awe and disbelief.
"This shouldn't be possible…" whispered the Sage of Six Paths. "Kaguya and the Ten Tails were sealed. How can he still become its Jinchūriki again?"
But the truth was undeniable. Another Ten Tails Sacred Tree, separate from the one sealed, had manifested—from Leo's hand.
"Another tree… another dimension's Ten Tails…?"
Confusion clouded the Sage's ancient face.
---
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara gazed down at himself in wonder. Not only had he avoided death, but he had reclaimed a strength even greater than before.
And those sixteen Limbo shadows...
He looked to Leo, a mirror image of himself.
"You're…"
"You're me… from another world…?"
His voice was hushed with awe.
Leo stepped forward, his Six Magatama Rinnegan glowing.
"Not done yet," Leo said coolly, extending his fist toward Madara.
For a moment, Madara stared, processing what was happening. Slowly, he reached out, bumping Leo's fist with his own.
Thunk.
The moment their fists connected—

To the rest of the world, it lasted only a second.
But for Uchiha Madara, it felt like an eternity.
As the data flowed into him, he blinked in astonishment.
"The Eternal Kingdom..."
"A parallel world...?"
He gave a bittersweet smile.
"So that's how beautiful another world can be..."
Then, with a breath—
Whoosh—
He entered Sage Mode, natural energy flooding into him.
Golden markings shimmered around his Rinnegan. The cloak of immortality reappeared.
Ten Tails: Sage Mode!
---
Yet even with all this power, something was missing.
The will of this world had chosen Naruto.
And Six Paths Sage Mode, the power born of this world's divine legacy, could only belong to him.
Still...
Madara, fully powered with the Ten Tails and Sage Mode, was now more dangerous than ever.
---
"Madara, don't repeat your past mistakes!" shouted Hashirama, momentarily ignoring Leo to plead with the original Madara.
Madara smirked.
"Hashirama… I still can't accept it."
---
Zing—
Suddenly, Madara's normal Rinnegan shifted—becoming a pair of glowing Six Magatama Rinnegan, like Leo's.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Eight Limbo clones—[Six Paths Madara·Limbo Shadows]—emerged around him.
With Leo's sixteen earlier...
Twenty-four Limbo Shadows now stood at attention.
---
Sasuke's eyes widened.
Naruto, who couldn't see the clones but could sense them through chakra, felt an overwhelming surge of power.
"This is bad... we've lost control of the situation!" the Sage of Six Paths muttered.
Madara turned toward Leo.
"Thank you... another me."
Leo grinned. "Let's see what you do with it."
---
BOOM!!
Using the optimized Amenotejikara, Madara teleported Sasuke directly into range and kicked him with overwhelming force.
"Gah...!!" Sasuke spat blood, flung through the air.
Madara stood tall.
Eyes blazing.
Aura burning.
Limbo shadows poised.
And a single word echoed across the battlefield:
"It's possible."
