"He… What is that power?"
Six Paths Naruto, Rinnegan Sasuke, Tsunade-hime (who possessed part of the Six Paths power), Terumi Mei, Gaara, Kakashi, and all the other shinobi stared at Leo. He now stood in full Ten Tails Jinchūriki form, and everyone was utterly stunned.
Even the Ōtsutsuki brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura, gazed at Leo with breathless surprise and doubt. Their eyes betrayed equal parts astonishment and hesitation.
"This power… It's beyond Kaguya!" Naruto whispered, feeling the sheer scale of chakra radiating from him. It was more potent than anything they'd ever sensed.
Not just chakra—his eyes! Sasuke could feel the overwhelming power radiating from Leo's three eyes. The combination of his Golden Magatama Reincarnation Sharingan and his twin Nine Magatama Rinne‑Sharingan was unlike anything the world had ever seen. His pupils exuded such a chilling aura that Sasuke felt a profound chill crawling down his spine.
Comparing the power of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, the two Six Paths Madaras, Six Paths Indra, and Six Paths Izuna to Leo's strength in this moment—they might as well have been children. The gap was astronomical.
Those among the shinobi who possessed fragments of the Sage's power—Kakashi, Tsunade, Ōnoki, Raikage, Terumi Mei, Gaara—all trembled as the energy of Leo's chakra swept through them. They each looked at their limbs and hair, their bodies taut with fear.
"You…" said Madara (space-time variant), staring at Leo's Ten Tails form in utter shock. "I expected him to be strong…but this? I didn't expect he could surpass me. Just his eyes…"
Madara, Indra, and Izuna all shared the same cold thought simultaneously:
"He's become stronger—once again."
…
Leo sighed, his three eyes burning with cosmic light: the Nine‑Magatama Rinne‑Sharingan pulsing with infinite power.
He surveyed the remaining opposition: the Ōtsutsuki brothers, Six Paths Naruto, Rinnegan Sasuke, Kakashi, and Hashirama.
An arrogant sneer curled his lips. A single word echoed through the battlefield:
"You are afraid!"
Hamura gasped aloud, awestruck by the raw, divine chakra that Leo commanded.
"I'll give you two choices." His voice, serene yet absolute, carried an undeniable finality.
"One: Submit to Infinite Tsukuyomi."
"Two: Dance with me… and meet your end!"
Leo's three eyes glowed with merciless intent.
Then… a whoosh... dozens of Truth-Seeking Balls materialized around him—forty-nine in total. With the black magatama gleaming, they drifted behind him in formation.
Including the truth-seeking orb embedded in his staff, Leo now commanded 50 Truth-Seeking Balls—the mark of at least a Five-Headed Ten-Tails Divine Tree worth of power. No wonder his Moon Eye, infused with nine golden magatama, had evolved into a Super Moon Eye with supremacy over five Ten-Tails energies.
He paused, reshaping the 49 floating orbs into nine perfect spheres to complement his aesthetic flair. Now complete, he stood supreme: Ten-Tails Jinchūriki with divine symmetry.
Facing the remaining resistance, he announced his ultimatum once more.
At that moment, Hamura moved forward defiantly... but before he could speak, Leo made his next move:
Zheng—
His twin Nine-Magatama Rinne-Sharingan condensed with terrifying intensity, and from them burst an oppressive gravitational field that crushed everything in its radius. This was the same technique known as Rinnegan: Luna, previously wielded by Indra—but elevated.
A wave of super-gravity rolled forward.
BOOM—the earth cracked beneath the opposition. Ōtsutsuki brothers, Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Hashirama—all were forced to their knees. The ground itself buckled like brittle glass under a mountain's weight. They were pinned, powerless to resist.
Elsewhere, those trapped in Infinite Tsukuyomi—the cocooned shinobi—remained unaffected. It was a targeted assault on those awake. Leo's control was absolute.
Indra scowled: "He… he even surpassed my own use of Luna."
Leo's dominance was undeniable.
He ignored Hamura's attempt to speak, his voice ringing out cold:
"Think carefully before you respond."
Hamura struggled to lift himself, the gravity crushing him.
Hagoromo suffered the same fate—unable to stand under the supernatural oppression.
Leo increased gravitational pressure again—especially heavy on the Ōtsutsuki brothers.
Finally, he spoke again, voice as cold as the void:
"If so…"
He activated another Madara-level technique: Rinnegan: Heavenly Hand Power. The air warped, and his gaze shifted to Raikage A, who'd defied him last.
Whoosh—
Raikage Ai was swept off his feet and dragged telekinetically forward into Leo's gravitational column.
Before the Raikage could register pain—
Puff—
Bloodline Net: Kill Ash Bones Together.
Raikage Ai's body disintegrated into ash midair.
"First."
Leo's words were ice.
Tsunade, Gaara, Kakashi, and others watched in horror as their strongest—and one of their greatest leaders—was annihilated swiftly, leaving only ash drifting in the wind.
The battlefield stood in stunned silence. Their ultimate defense, swept away in an instant.
Before anyone could react further, Leo declared:
"Second—"
And the chapter cuts off, tension frozen in the moment that sealed an irreversible fate.
