"How?" Uchiha Madara was both shocked and enraged. "Why does Gojo Kaigetsu also know this seal??"

The Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal.

A jutsu that used one’s own body as a vessel, ascending to a state of complete existence.

It was a jutsu Uchiha Madara had learned from the Uchiha clan’s stone tablet through the Rinnegan. And after learning it, he had personally erased it to ensure that future Uchiha clan members wouldn’t discover its secrets.

It could be said that in the Shinobi World, only he and Black Zetsu should have known of this jutsu’s existence.

So, where did Gojo Kaigetsu learn it?

Did Black Zetsu tell him?

Impossible!

Black Zetsu was his will incarnate—

The sudden turn of events had disrupted Uchiha Madara’s plans.

But with things having progressed this far, both sides had gambled everything. Success was the only option; failure was not allowed! Uchiha Madara, having gone all in, fought Gojo Kaigetsu remotely, vying for control of the Ten-Tails.

The Ten-Tails, like a two-headed dragon, was simultaneously inserted into Gojo Kaigetsu and Uchiha Madara’s spiritual worlds.

Before the ownership was decided, a physical transformation had already begun.

A crack appeared between their brows, as if a new organ was about to grow. Their skin was also gradually being covered by a grayish-white shell.

Pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs and a Six Paths staff floated in the air between them. As if symbolizing the final prize of this struggle—whoever won would obtain the supreme Six Paths power.

The sky was illuminated red by the Ten-Tails’ Tailed Beast Bombs. The coast of Uzushiogakure churned, the tsunami accompanying the Ten-Tails’ roars, like the wrath of the world.

The waves churned, surging, like a thousand horses charging towards the shore, destroying everything in sight.

"Uchiha Madara. Haven’t you realized something is wrong? This seal—you’re not the only one who knows it... That stone tablet is a fake! Black Zetsu altered everything on it, guiding you step by step to this point."

"Its only purpose is to revive its mother, the Rabbit Goddess!"

"If this continues, our minds will be linked. Until one of us is completely dead, it won’t stop." Gojo tried one last time to persuade him. "Give up, Madara. Don’t you want to see Hashirama again? He’s been resurrected by Edo Tensei."

"True? False? All I know is, if I can’t follow my Shinobi way to the very end, I am not Uchiha Madara!"

Uchiha Madara had his doubts.

Gojo Kaigetsu knowing the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal couldn’t be explained.

But for someone like him to give up—unless he could truly see his own tragic future, the fire of battle would not be extinguished!

In this cruel Shinobi World, one who couldn’t follow their Shinobi way to the very end would never reach their current heights!

One who cannot discard anything can change nothing! Uchiha Madara, discarding his future and his past, gambled everything for victory in this final moment!

"I will let the light of the Eye of the Moon cover every corner of the Shinobi World!"

"Ten-Tails, come to me!"

The Ten-Tails was pulled a little further towards Madara.

"Sigh... Then, let’s have another fight!"

Sensing that their spiritual worlds had been completely linked through the Ten-Tails chakra, Gojo Kaigetsu sighed helplessly, closing his eyes and entering his spiritual world.

———

Spiritual World.

The Ten-Tails stood in the center of the world, like a hero’s treasure in a fairy tale, waiting to be claimed.

Gojo Kaigetsu and Uchiha Madara opened their eyes simultaneously.

The moment their eyes opened, it was a fight to the death!

Just as Kushina had plundered the Nine-Tails’ chakra, only after defeating the competitor could one use the Six Paths Ten-Tails Coffin Seal to become the true Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

———

The final battle had begun.

"Susanoo!"

"Mahoraga!"

They formed hand seals simultaneously. One summoned a colossal, shaking Perfect Susanoo; the other, a Mahoraga, its breath turning to white mist.

No preamble, no long-range ninjutsu duel. Only a brutal, fist-to-flesh brawl.

Mahoraga, under Gojo Kaigetsu’s command, danced with a unique rhythm, its Sword of Extermination striking the Susanoo’s body again and again. Wherever the blade passed, it left irreparable cracks.

The Susanoo’s body was rapidly disintegrating!

And the Susanoo’s slashes, landing on Mahoraga’s body, were like striking cotton.

The six-spoked wheel spun, time and again, Mahoraga regenerating itself. Until finally, the Susanoo’s full-power strike failed to overcome Mahoraga’s adaptive abilities.

When had it begun to adapt? Perhaps—during the attack against Obito in the Ryūmyaku’s dimension. Mahoraga had begun to adapt to the Susanoo’s slashing power.

And now, it had fully adapted to the power known as Susanoo.

"No..."

"My Susanoo—is the strongest!!!"

Uchiha Madara, disregarding his grievous injuries, once again channeled his Susanoo, launching a final, desperate charge towards Gojo Kaigetsu.

A martyr! One who suffers for their Shinobi way—such were martyrs. And now, Uchiha Madara had become one.

———

In the physical world...

The shadows had vanished. Kushina and Tsunade stood vigilantly beside Gojo Kaigetsu.

Kushina suggested, "Lady Tsunade, should we finish off Uchiha Madara now? He and Gojo seem—incapacitated."

"No... we can’t." Tsunade shook her head. "Though I want to, their spirits are now linked through the Ten-Tails’ chakra. External interference might backfire."

Like an ice pop. Hard going in, soft coming out. All depends on the temperature of the tongue and mouth.

An outsider couldn’t forcefully remove the ice pop. To do so would mean shattering both the ice pop and the jawbone. That would be completely counterproductive.

Now, Tsunade could only pray.

"Let us send our energy to Gojo!"

"Mm!"

Time ticked by. Finally, under Tsunade’s anxious gaze—

Uchiha Madara’s body fell limply to the ground. The crack between his brows closed completely. The Six Paths shell on his skin shattered, dissipating into the air.

The Ten-Tails, no longer contested, ceased its struggle. It was once again twisted and compressed into a liquid state, flowing into Gojo Kaigetsu’s body.

Thump, thump...

Thump, thump...

A strong, powerful heartbeat echoed through the silent wasteland.

Between Gojo Kaigetsu’s brows, that thin slit snapped open, revealing a nine-tomoe Six Eyes.

Nine pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs, one after another, returned to their positions behind Gojo Kaigetsu.

The Six Paths staff flew directly to his side.

In this moment, a god descended!

Gojo Kaigetsu’s eyes snapped open. Wreathed in near-infinite chakra, he grasped the Six Paths staff and rose, floating in the air.

Gazing at Uchiha Madara’s fallen form, he sighed.

"Good night, Uchiha Madara."

Then, he turned to the two stunned women, his voice laced with annoyance. "What’s with your expressions? Don’t you recognize me?"

"You seem—strange," Tsunade said, looking at the staff-wielding Gojo Kaigetsu, feeling an inexplicable urge to kneel.

Not some strange, niche fetish, but in this moment, Gojo Kaigetsu, having attained the Six Paths level, his very soul had transcended that of an ordinary human. He was what Gojo Kaigetsu often referred to as—a "Sage Venerable."

Sage Venerable~

Gojo Kaigetsu felt a bit lightheaded.

Sage of Six Paths? How much chakra did he have?

Could he compare to him now?

The process was wrong, but the result was right.

Absorbing the Ten-Tails, becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, even without the Sage’s eyes or body, he had still reached the level of a Sage Venerable.

The third eye between his brows—was the best proof.

Nine-tomoe Six Eyes?

Gojo Kaigetsu could finally, confidently, puff out his chest, controlling absolute attraction and repulsion with a mere gesture, while also bestowing the properties of the Limitless technique upon his targets.

"Kushina, please collect Madara’s body and the masks from the Nakano Shrine."

"Tsunade, retrieve Madara’s Rinnegan."

"Then..."

"We go. To the front lines!"
