"The sealing technique is ineffective?"
"Then what should we do next..."
Upon hearing the conversation between the Sage of Six Paths and Sasuke, Namikaze Minato—who had just had the Truth-Seeking Ball black rod pulled from his body by Six Paths Naruto—frowned deeply.
After all, in order to deal with the three versions of "Uchiha Madara," it seemed that sealing techniques were the only hope, according to Naruto and Sasuke.
And now…
Even Indra couldn't be sealed by those techniques.
Doesn't that mean the same applies to the three Madaras?
Unable to seal them?!
That's truly terrifying!
Before Sage of Six Paths or the others could respond—
"Tobirama..."
Senju Hashirama looked down at his brother's body with grief-stricken eyes.
Senju Tobirama was already gone.
Uchiha Izuna had used both [Blood Qi Fei] and a black rod formed from the [Truth-Seeking Ball] to take his life.
Unlike Namikaze Minato, who was barely saved at the last moment by Naruto and Sasuke, Tobirama had no such luck.
Both Flying Thunder God users who attempted to ambush Indra and Izuna were nearly wiped out.
The ninjas of Konoha, watching the fallen Second Hokage who had only recently returned to life, gasped in shock and sorrow.
"It seems we can no longer hold back."
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths looked across the battlefield toward Leo, who stood calmly.
That glance carried wariness—perhaps even fear.
Originally, the Sage had hoped to save some aces in the hole until Leo made his move.
But now, they weren't even qualified to hold anything back.
So:
"Ninjutsu: Summoning Technique!!"
Puff—!
The Sage of Six Paths formed hand seals and activated a summoning jutsu. Instantly, three clouds of thick white mist burst into the air!
"Father, you're truly despicable." Indra's voice trembled with cold hatred.
"Heh... What's this old man up to now? This is getting interesting," Leo commented from the opposite side with a smirk.
"Honestly, this old man might be the root of all the world's wars." The two versions of Six Paths Madara, each with a third eye on their forehead, revealed intense killing intent toward the Sage of Six Paths.
As the mist cleared—
Everyone witnessed the appearance of three large coffins.
Snap!
The Sage of Six Paths placed his palms together again.
"Gedō: Rinne Tensei no Jutsu!!"
He invoked the Rinnegan's Rinne Rebirth Technique.
Upon seeing this, Leo sneered.
"Using Rinne Tensei to bring himself back... This bastard really knows how to play the game."
"Gather!!"
With a final shout, the Sage's soul suddenly rushed into one of the coffins.
Zheng—Zheng—
Two of the coffins started to glow.
"Huh?" Six Paths Naruto instinctively flinched.
Suddenly—
A soul flew out of his body!
It flew directly into the third coffin!
Zheng—
All three coffins now glowed brightly with the light of resurrection.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, the three coffins exploded open.
When the smoke dissipated…
Three powerful figures stood tall and proud.
"Well, that's…"
Indra's expression hardened. With chakra blooming wildly around him, his fists clenched tightly.
His eyes burned with fury and competitive spirit.
"Ashura...!!"
With a furious roar, Indra shouted at the figure before him.
Indeed—it was his younger brother, Ashura.
The other two resurrected figures?
One was none other than Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo—the Sage of Six Paths himself.
The last figure—
"Ōtsutsuki Hamura!" Leo's sharp gaze locked onto the final figure. His Six Tomoe Rinnegan shone brightly as he spoke coldly.
The three resurrected figures were the Sage of Six Paths, his brother Hamura, and his youngest son Ashura.
...
"Nii-san?!"
Ashura, having just regained life, immediately recognized the voice.
"Father?!" Ashura was stunned to see the Sage of Six Paths in front of him.
Then he turned toward the third man.
"Who are you?"
"He is my brother—and your uncle—Ōtsutsuki Hamura," the Sage replied.
"Uncle Hamura?!" Ashura repeated in disbelief.
"Brother, why did you choose to bring me and yourself back?" Hamura asked, clearly surprised.
Hamura's gaze shifted to the battlefield.
"Who are those people on the other side? Their chakra... it's terrifying."
He had already sensed Leo and the two Six Paths Madara clones.
Their chakra was so immense that even Hamura, born in the divine era, was shocked.
"That's the same chakra Mother once had..."
Indeed, the power of the two Madaras—complete with third eyes and Ten Tails chakra—mirrored Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's.
Although Leo lacked the third eye, his chakra was no less formidable.
"Brother, how did things come to this…?" Hamura was visibly shaken.
"Hamura, Ashura—the situation is dire. We must find a way to seal the three reincarnations of Indra on the other side," the Sage of Six Paths said urgently.
Hamura sighed. "It seems your world is in greater danger than I imagined, brother."
"Hey, Naruto," Sasuke glanced sideways. "Those three who just appeared…"
"The soul that left my body—it had to be Ashura," Naruto confirmed. "Remember, Six Paths Grandpa said his youngest son's power was in me."
"Looks like we've got some serious reinforcements," Sasuke replied, visibly relieved.
Against the likes of Indra, Uchiha Izuna, and three Madaras, even the combined forces of Naruto and Sasuke felt inadequate.
...
"Nii-san..."
Ashura looked at his brother, Indra, who stood tall, overflowing with fighting intent.
"Ashura!!"
Indra could no longer suppress his desire for battle.
With a thunderous roar to the sky—
Zheng Hoo—!!
The purple aura of Susanoo exploded from Indra's body.
The giant's silhouette rose rapidly, reaching an astonishing height of over 500 meters!
"Perfect," Indra said coldly.
With a slight clench of his fist—
The energy stabilized, and Susanoo's massive frame expanded even further.
At last…
The purple Susanoo stood towering at over 700 meters tall!
A manifestation of pure hatred, will, and battle-lust—the true warrior god of the Uchiha.
