The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 603 The landscape of the ninja world needs a reshuffle.

Kaguya Otsutsuki caused strange spatial fluctuations, and the divine technique, Ame no Minaka, was quietly activated.

She stared intently at the Truth-Seeking Balls surrounding the Sage of Six Paths, and the power of space, like invisible threads, quietly spread around the Sage of Six Paths.

A pale purple aura quietly enveloped the eight Truth-Seeking Jewels surrounding the Sage of Six Paths.

The next second, under the powerful spatial force of the Ame no Mikasa, the eight Truth-Seeking Balls disappeared silently from their original spot and were steadily transferred by Kaguya to an unknown alternate dimension, completely severing the connection between the Sage of Six Paths and the Truth-Seeking Balls.

The Sage of Six Paths suddenly realized something was wrong, his brows furrowed abruptly, and that familiar sense of power vanished without a trace in an instant.

"What's going on?" he asked in a low voice, his expression showing a change for the first time.

He tried to control the Truth-Seeking Ball to continue his defense, but found himself surrounded by emptiness, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.

Those eight Seeking the Dao Jade had vanished without a trace.

The Sage of Six Paths' illusory soul flickered slightly, his expression becoming somewhat solemn. That familiar spatial power... that was his mother's power: Ame no Mikachi!

The Sage of Six Paths stared intently at Kaguya not far away, his eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"Mother? You actually..."

The moment he lost the eight Truth-Seeking Balls, his chakra decreased by almost half.

That sense of superior control vanished instantly.

The previous composure and indifference were instantly replaced by panic; the coldness in his eyes vanished, replaced by an undisguised panic and unease.

He looked at Kaguya, then at Hashirama and Madara Uchiha, who were eyeing him menacingly, and for the first time, a sense of panic rose in his heart.

We can't stay here any longer!

The Sage of Six Paths had only one thought in his mind... to escape. At this moment, he had long lost the confidence he had before.

Having lost the Truth-Seeking Balls, and facing the combined attack of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, plus his mother's restraint, he had no chance of winning. Staying would only result in him being sealed away by them.

Only by fleeing this battlefield as soon as possible and finding a secluded place to accumulate strength can he have a chance to make a comeback and realize his ambition to control the ninja world and rule the Six Paths. He will never admit defeat like this, and he will never let his thousand years of efforts go to waste.

His Rinnegan suddenly lit up, and the space around him violently distorted, rippling outwards. He moved, attempting to activate spatial teleportation to forcibly escape the battlefield, giving Hashirama and Madara no chance to react.

"If I can escape, I'll come back for revenge sooner or later!"

But just as his soul was about to merge into the spatial rift, Kaguya Otsutsuki had already anticipated his actions. With a smile on her lips and her hands forming hand seals once more, she unleashed the full power of Ame no Minakata, which, like a giant net, enveloped the entire battlefield.

"Trying to run? Too late!"

She would never let the Sage of Six Paths escape so easily, given their thousand-year-old feud.

A pale purple spatial barrier instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. Intricate spatial patterns flowed across the barrier, which, like an impregnable fortress, firmly sealed off all spatial exits, leaving the Sage of Six Paths no chance of escape.

The barrier emitted a faint halo, completely isolating the battlefield from the outside world. No matter which direction the Sage of Six Paths fled in, he could not break through this barrier.

With a soft "hum," the Sage of Six Paths' spatial traversal was forcibly interrupted. His figure was instantly teleported back to the center of the battlefield as if pulled by an invisible force, and he staggered a few steps heavily.

"No!"

The panic in his eyes intensified, the light of his Rinnegan shone brighter, and the space around him distorted once more as he attempted to break through Kaguya's spatial barrier and escape.

"I can definitely escape!" he silently chanted to himself, channeling all his chakra.

However, every time he tried, Kaguya's Amenominaka would forcibly teleport him back. No matter which direction he fled in, no matter how many times he activated spatial teleportation, he could not break free from the constraints of this space and could only be trapped in the center of the battlefield.

Kaguya Otsutsuki stood rooted to the spot, her hands still in the hand seals, her eyes coldly fixed on the Sage of Six Paths: "You've finally met your match. The torment of a thousand years of sealing will be made to pay for, bit by bit!"

The situation reversed, and the originally one-sided battle instantly became extremely unfavorable to the Sage of Six Paths.

Having lost the Truth-Seeking Balls, the Sage of Six Paths lacked chakra, and his spatial abilities were suppressed by Kaguya. Even escaping became a luxury. He no longer possessed his former composure and strength; his confidence in controlling everything had vanished completely.

His chakra was still in disarray, and his phantom soul was becoming increasingly transparent.

He could clearly feel his strength gradually slipping away.

Looking at the menacing Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha before him, he felt the threat of death for the first time, and realized for the first time that he might really perish here.

Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha keenly sensed the Sage of Six Paths' panic and weakness. They exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with sharpness, filled with... They knew that the best opportunity to end the Sage of Six Paths had finally arrived.

"Madara, now's the time!" Hashirama Senju exclaimed, his voice tinged with excitement.

The two immediately concentrated all the remaining chakra in their bodies. Even though their bodies were already exhausted and their wounds were throbbing with pain, they did not waver in the slightest and prepared to deliver a fatal blow to the Sage of Six Paths.

Now is the best time to end the Sage of Six Paths. We cannot afford to be complacent. Once we miss this opportunity, we will never have another chance. Success or failure hinges on this moment.

"Bandit, all of you, attack together!"

Hashirama Senju's voice carried a hint of something, and his green Wood Release chakra intertwined with the power of the Six Paths, radiating a dazzling golden light. Blood was still flowing from his wound, dripping down his arm.

Madara Uchiha roared, his Rinnegan between his eyebrows blazing with light. Black chakra and Sage Chakra merged perfectly, and his aura instantly surged to its peak. The phantom of Susanoo became more solid, and the patterns on his armor became clearer. The fierce aura around him was enough to suffocate anyone.

"Sage of Six Paths, your ambition ends here!"

Both of them simultaneously raised their hands, their palms gathering dense chakra, with the power of the Six Paths continuously pouring into them. The chakra spun rapidly in their palms, forming a powerful force with earth-shattering might. The two shouted in unison, "Six Paths: Planetary Devastation!"

The sound shook the heavens and the earth, drowning out the howling wind.

As soon as they finished speaking, the chakra in their palms exploded simultaneously, and countless fragments of stone rose from the ground, rapidly condensing in mid-air. As if drawn by an invisible force, they gradually coalesced into a huge black planet, its surface shrouded in faint golden patterns, radiating a suffocating pressure.

The pressure distorted the air throughout the battlefield, and the surrounding sand and gravel were drawn to the planet's surface by its gravity, causing it to grow larger and larger.

The black planet, carrying a devastating force, crashed down on the panicked Sage of Six Paths, instantly enveloping his illusory soul and giving him no chance to dodge or resist.

The Sage of Six Paths tried to retreat and dodge, but found that his body was firmly locked in place by the planet's gravity and he could not move an inch.

The Sage of Six Paths struggled frantically, his chakra surging wildly. The pale purple chakra, like a raging tide, relentlessly crashed against the barrier of Chibaku Tensei. He roared in despair, "No... I'm not reconciled... I can't be sealed away like this..."

He tried his best to break free from the shackles of the Earth-Exploding Star and escape this cage of despair, but all his efforts were in vain.

Having lost the Truth-Seeking Balls, his power was far less than before, and his chakra was almost depleted. No matter how hard he exerted himself or how much he roared, he could not shake the black planet containing the full power of Hashirama and Madara. The barrier of Chibaku Tensei was like an impregnable fortress, trapping him firmly within it.

His roar was drowned out by the planet's oppressive power, growing weaker and weaker. His illusory soul twisted and weakened within it, becoming increasingly transparent. The ambition and resentment in his eyes were eventually swallowed by the endless darkness. Gone was his previous arrogance and conceit, leaving only deep despair.

He looked at Hashirama, Madara, and Kaguya outside, his heart filled with resentment, yet he was helpless.

The planet Earth Explosion contracted, sealing the Sage of Six Paths' soul within it, compressing it into a small black sphere.

Faint sealing patterns flowed across the surface of the sphere, emitting a faint chakra fluctuation. Finally, it gently landed in front of Hashirama and Madara, and there was no more chakra fluctuation. The soul of the Sage of Six Paths was sealed.

Exhausted, the two staggered and fell to the ground, panting heavily. Their faces were covered in sweat and blood, and their wounds were still bleeding. Yet, they wore relieved smiles—smiles of triumph after a hard-fought battle, of relief after a heavy burden had been lifted.

"It's over...it's finally over..."

Hashirama Senju murmured to himself, but his voice was full of satisfaction.

Madara Uchiha nodded slightly, a relieved smile appearing on his lips.

Kaguya Otsutsuki stepped forward, each step heavy. Looking at the black sphere that sealed the Sage of Six Paths, the anger in her eyes finally dissipated, replaced by a sense of calm and relief. The thousand-year-old resentment finally came to an end at this moment.

She reached out and gently touched the black sphere with her fingers, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

As if a boulder that had been weighing on his heart for a thousand years had finally been lifted, the black chakra around him gradually calmed down, his tense body slowly relaxed, and the coldness on his face softened, revealing a long-lost peaceful smile.

Uchiha Mitsunori stood up from the black stone, and as he stood up, several small cracks appeared on the stone beneath his feet.

Looking at everything before him, his calculations finally came to an end.

"The Sage of Six Paths has fallen... The格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and power dynamics) of the ninja world... It's time for a reshuffling..."
