Li Xing squatted beside Obito, pointing to Rin beside him and said, "What I'm about to say has to do with Rin."
The more Li Xing mentioned Rin, the more Obito fell into a frenzy, controlling the Truth-Seeking Orbs to attack Li Xing and violently pulling the sword from Li Xing's hands.
"Don't you dare mention her name again! Rin, she's always been here, the dead Rin was just an imposter!"
Obito then clasped his hands together, and a towering tree instantly grew from the ground, its height nearly reaching the moon, with an unopened flower at its apex.
Simultaneously, four flowers bloomed on the trunk, and together these four flowers condensed a Tailed Beast Bomb. Obito extended six red chakra arms from his back, each holding a black rod, and plunged them into the ground. He formed hand seals, and a red barrier enveloped the shinobi alliance.
Seeing Obito's near-insane state, Li Xing knew that reasoning with him was impossible for now. It seemed he had to defeat Obito first.
"Li Xing! Come here quickly! I'll give you my chakra!" Naruto shouted at Li Xing.
Li Xing glanced back and saw that the Nine-Tails chakra Naruto had dispersed earlier had reappeared. Even the subsequent Kage, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and others were present. Naruto was still clashing fists with Minato, seemingly intending to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport.
However, Li Xing didn't need it. He pushed Rin to Kushina's side and clapped his hands. He was enveloped in blue-white chakra, and his eyes turned golden.
"This is my Six Paths Mode. These eyes are Tenseigan, on par with your Rinnegan." As he spoke, Li Xing conjured a multicolored vortex in his hand, preparing to teach Obito a lesson.
"So that's why your blade didn't break when it touched the Truth-Seeking Orbs. But I am the second Six Paths Sage, I cannot lose." Obito wrapped himself in Truth-Seeking Orbs, forming a black sphere to protect himself from the explosion.
As Naruto still wanted Li Xing to come over, the Tailed Beast Bomb was already fired. Minato couldn't care about anything else and quickly led everyone out of the barrier, praying for Li Xing's safety.
"Six Paths Summoning, Hundred-Fold Rashomon!"
Li Xing acted unhurriedly. He clapped his hands, and as he willed it, Rashomon gates appeared one after another in space. Who said Rashomon only had five layers? Li Xing would create his own.
The explosion of the Tailed Beast Bomb caused an earthquake, but Obito's Six Red Yang Formation remained unharmed. Less than eighty of Li Xing's Rashomon gates were left. The Rashomon gates empowered by Six Paths power turned out to be so fragile; Li Xing had overestimated them. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Is that so? It seems you're not bad either, reaching Six Paths Sage level without the Tailed Beasts." Obito's Truth-Seeking Orbs slowly returned to their spherical form. Seeing Li Xing unharmed, he felt a pang of doubt. He had worked so hard to collect the Tailed Beasts, yet Li Xing had somehow caught up. Was he truly wrong?
"Stop with the flattery, keep going!" Li Xing pushed out a palm, launching a rainbow cannon that directly pierced the Six Red Yang Formation.
Obito no longer wanted to wait. He pressed his hands to the ground, and countless tree trunks suddenly emerged from beneath, rushing towards the shinobi alliance. The moment countless people were touched by the tree trunks, they turned into mummified corpses.
Naruto and Killer Bee became the primary targets of the Divine Tree, as they possessed the largest chakra reserves. Naruto was in his Tailed Beast form, making him too large a target. He was carelessly bound by tree trunks, but Kushina erupted with unprecedented strength, pulling Naruto back with over a dozen chains.
Meanwhile, Obito formed his Truth-Seeking Orbs into an incredibly long spear, the Totsuka Blade, whose hardness depended on willpower.
Seeing the Totsuka Blade charging towards him, Li Xing caught it with one hand and extended nine chakra arms from behind, directly piercing Obito's body.
Li Xing pushed forward with one hand and grabbed the chakra arms with the other, pulling them backward with all his might. In that instant, Li Xing's consciousness met Obito's in a mental space.
"Obito, give up! You can't win against me. Rin wanted to protect the ambitious Uchiha Obito who aspired to be Hokage, not the Obito you are now. Think about it, has the current Rin ever spoken a word to you? Has she ever even looked at you?"
Hearing this, Obito's heart began to waver. He seemed to see a world where he became Hokage, a world where Minato and his wife, Kakashi, Rin, everyone was present.
Seeing that this wasn't enough, Li Xing quickly seized the opportunity. "Do you know how Rin died? Her heart, like yours, had a curse mark placed by Madara. She couldn't commit suicide, which is why she let Kakashi kill her. Rin's death was entirely due to Madara, who wanted you to acknowledge the Infinite Tsukuyomi and serve as his pawn. Do you even know you've been manipulated by Madara all along?"
"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! I..." Obito clearly couldn't accept this reality, his face contorted with pain. Li Xing knew the time was ripe. He quickly pulled with all his might, extracting all the Tailed Beasts from Obito's body, including some of the chakra from the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails.
"Li Xing alone can extract all the Tailed Beasts?" Naruto, having retracted some of his chakra, immediately perked up. Seeing Li Xing extract all the Tailed Beasts, he was astonished again. No one knew how strong Li Xing truly was.
Having lost his Tailed Beasts, Obito instantly returned to his normal appearance, though his hair remained white. However, with the Gedo Mazo still within him, Obito wouldn't die. Moreover, these were Tailed Beasts stripped by Li Xing, so death was naturally impossible.
"Did... did I lose?" Obito lay on the ground, his eyes vacant, recalling Li Xing's words with a mixed jumble of emotions.
Suddenly, Kakashi emerged from Kamui's dimension and sat directly on Obito, preparing to stab him with a kunai. However, Minato grabbed his hand.
Looking at Minato, who was still trying to save him, Obito's pain intensified. Then, his hands slowly began to form hand seals.
"I never thought I'd end up doing the same thing as Nagato."
At that moment, Black Zetsu crawled out of the ground and attached himself to Obito, transferring Obito's jutsu target to Madara.
"Outer Path, Samsara of Life Technique!"
Meanwhile, Madara, who had been suppressed by the Godly Chariot Gates by Hashirama, instantly transformed from Edo Tensei into a living person. Madara broke free from his restraints and approached Hashirama, who was trapped by the chakra black rods, and began absorbing Hashirama's Sage Mode by the throat.
"Is this Sage Mode? It's nothing special."
Madara almost instantly gained mastery of Sage Mode without any discomfort. Subsequently, his Rinnegan detached, leaving two empty sockets.
Naruto and Sasuke arrived at this battlefield. Naruto charged forward with a Rasenshuriken, but Madara blocked it with a Susanoo.
Turning, he kicked the children. Sai drew a tiger that bit Madara. Madara spat out a burst of black smoke mixed with flames, completely evaporating the ink on his body. Then, he kicked Sai, severely injuring him.
Seeing Madara resurrected, Li Xing immediately flew into the air and unleashed seven punches. The powerful pressure from his fists rendered the seven Tailed Beasts immobile, especially the Three-Tails, which trembled in fear at the sight of Li Xing again.
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
Tobirama instantly appeared beside Madara, intending to stab him directly with a kunai. Madara turned and grabbed Tobirama's hand, impaling him with a chakra black rod. He then used the black rod to firmly pin Tobirama to the ground. Madara was venting his long-held anger; Tobirama had used this technique to kill his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha.
