Chapter 660: There’s a Pig!

The six Truth-Seeking Ballss on Nagato Six Paths’ back transformed into anchor points for a barrier, piercing into the surrounding ground, instantly forming a wider Four Red Yang Formation, temporarily trapping Isshiki inside.

This was why Hashirama attacked first, baiting Isshiki into a direct assault.

Otherwise, with the opponent’s speed, if he evaded and didn’t engage, he could simply turn and leave them all behind, then destroy the Moon. Hashirama and the others would have no way to stop him.

Thankfully, Isshiki’s arrogance made him underestimate Hashirama, insisting on breaking through directly, giving Nagato Six Paths the chance to activate the barrier.

Isshiki, rapidly charging at Hashirama, was suddenly interrupted by an invisible attack!

*BOOM!*

Isshiki was thrown back, a strange wound appearing on his chest. Though shallow, it was undeniable.

Clearly, it was caused by Madara’s Limbo clones. Without Six Paths power or a Rinnegan, Isshiki couldn’t see Limbo clones at all!

For this battle, Madara had switched back to Double Rinnegan, enabling perfect Limbo: Border Jail. Four invisible, unkillable clones could take hits or be sealed in his place and use all ninjutsu and dōjutsu his main body mastered.

This mechanism and effect were a truly astonishing Rinnegan-specific dōjutsu. If Kaguya had Limbo clones, Naruto and Sasuke’s sealing jutsu would’ve failed, at best sealing only a clone...

"What’s that?"

"Invisible attacks?"

"More than one?"

Isshiki was shocked. Raising his hand, he condensed black rods and, relying on combat instincts and reflexes, repelled all four attacking Limbo clones. These clones weren’t strong—their taijutsu was weaker than Hashirama’s, posing limited threat to Isshiki.

But the problem was Isshiki couldn’t see, sense, or kill them!

Even ordinary black rods couldn’t seal the clones—only Truth-Seeking Ballss could restrain them. It was like four immortal, invisible mosquitoes constantly harassing and attacking stealthily. While hard to kill Isshiki, it was enough to stall and frustrate him.

Thanks to this delay, Minato caught up with Obito. From above, he blocked Isshiki’s retreat, while Madara and the others pinned him from below.

Instantly, it became a deadlock on both sides.

Now, if Isshiki wanted to escape the barrier and destroy the Moon, he had to forcibly break through one side.

"Bastards! You lowly, despicable creatures!"

"Don’t think you can stop me!"

Isshiki erupted fiercely, ignoring the four Limbo clones’ attacks, choosing to break downward. Just a few lowly creatures, slightly stronger—what difference did it make? Even now, beaten near death, no ninja could face him directly!

Isshiki was confident. In a few rounds, he could kill these ninjas and proceed to destroy the Moon!

Sadly, the idea was beautiful, but reality was cruel.

Nagato Six Paths acted immediately, using his three remaining Truth-Seeking Ballss to merge and extend, forming a giant, thin hexagonal defense barrier, sealing the area below. Unless this Truth-Seeking Balls barrier was destroyed, Isshiki couldn’t damage the Moon...

And for someone without Six Paths power—or rather, without Juubi power—even Isshiki, if he forcibly touched a Truth-Seeking Balls, would have part of his body annihilated...

*BOOM!*

The black light that was Isshiki crashed into the thin Truth-Seeking Balls barrier.

The massive barrier trembled slightly, shaken by the immense impact. At the collision’s center, half of Isshiki’s arm was annihilated by the Truth-Seeking Balls, and cracks appeared on the barrier, like when Eight Gates Guy kicked and shattered a Truth-Seeking Balls defense. Another hit would likely destroy this barrier layer.

But Nagato Six Paths achieved his goal, stalling Isshiki momentarily, giving others a chance to attack.

"Sage Art: Myōjinmon!"

Several giant red torii fell from the sky, precisely pinning Isshiki, applying a sealing effect.

While regenerating his arm, Isshiki shattered the Myōjinmon. It had some effect on a Six Paths-level being like him, but only slightly.

But as Isshiki broke the Myōjinmon...

"Super: Yasaka Magatama!"

"Cross Fire!"

"Sage Art: Tailed Beast Ball!"

"Kamui Shuriken!"

Seizing this brief moment, everyone unleashed a saturated attack, using ultra-powerful long-range techniques, all aimed at Isshiki.

Surrounded by the Four Red Yang Formation barrier, below was the untouchable Truth-Seeking Balls barrier, above were seals from four Limbo clones, and all around were attacks from every direction.

No matter how fast Isshiki was, he couldn’t dodge. He could only endure this wave of saturated attacks head-on!

*BOOM!!!*

A dazzling explosion erupted inside the barrier, so bright no one dared look directly.

Tobirama first took the injured Hashirama out of the barrier; Hashirama’s right arm was shattered, and without Sage Mode’s seal-less healing, recovery wasn’t quick. He was unfit to stay in the barrier and fight.

Meanwhile, the remaining Madara naturally activated Susano’o’s defense, Nagato Six Paths was protected by Six Paths Rods, and Minato and Obito had no worries—one teleported out, the other activated virtualization, unafraid of the explosion.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"This should do it, right?"

Tobirama watched the massive explosion inside the barrier, unable to help complaining about how hard it was to kill Isshiki.

Thankfully, in his world, Madara’s enemies weren’t this strong. Otherwise, what was the point of fighting? He’d rather surrender.

But then Tobirama thought there was also a terrifying Jigen hiding on his side, making his head ache more.

He could only wait and see. If he truly couldn’t win later, he’d follow Minato’s example, begging the Sage of the Six Paths to bring more people for a fair gang-up!

After all, he was the cunning Senju Tobirama, unburdened by Bushido’s one-on-one ideals.

"Tobirama, hurry!"

"Get Madara out too!"

Hashirama saw Susano’o enduring the explosion inside the barrier, worried for Madara’s safety, and urged Parallel World 2 Tobirama beside him.

"That guy doesn’t have my Flying Thunder God mark—how am I supposed to fly in?"

Tobirama was reluctant, uninterested in saving the vile Uchiha. Besides, with the explosion’s intensity, didn’t his brother care if he’d get caught in it?

Moreover, it wasn’t confirmed if Isshiki was dead! This was asking him to take risks.

Was he his brother’s real sibling, or was Madara his brother’s darling?

"Don’t be afraid—you can fly into his Susano’o. Madara has my kunai with your Flying Thunder God mark; I gave it to him!"

"..."

"Hurry. You know how terrifying Isshiki is—don’t let anything happen to Madara."

"Fine!"

Tobirama reluctantly agreed, unable to refuse his brother.

*SWOOSH!*

Sensing the Flying Thunder God mark on Madara’s kunai, Tobirama teleported beside him, appearing inside Susano’o.

"Idiot, why’d you come in?!"

Madara saw Tobirama and shouted. His Susano’o kept hurling Magatama attacks at the explosion’s center.

"You think I wanted to? Brother told me to save you." Tobirama was also displeased but grabbed Madara, preparing to teleport out of the barrier.

"I don’t need you at all..."

The two, utterly incompatible, started arguing upon meeting. But before Madara finished, he sensed danger... From the distant explosion, a black light suddenly emerged.

Isshiki, with only his upper body left and charred all over, burst toward Susano’o. He’d been waiting for this moment!

Though his lower body was severed by Kamui Shuriken and battered by the storm-like explosion, he didn’t flee. Instead, he endured in place, waiting for this chance!

*BOOM!*

Susano’o, the so-called absolute defense, was shattered by Isshiki’s single punch. He then charged at Tobirama beside Madara.

Isshiki sensed this was the weakest enemy present and the easiest target to capture! Killing or taking him alive could give a sliver of hope for survival or revenge!

"Get out of the way!"

Madara instinctively pushed Tobirama aside. Though he hated this damned white-haired guy, he was Hashirama’s brother. Madara couldn’t let him die. With Izuna nearly revived, Madara’s hatred for Tobirama had lessened, so he instinctively helped.

*BOOM!*

Isshiki’s punch hit Madara’s chest, breaking four ribs and making him spit blood!

Luckily, Susano’o absBallsed some force; otherwise, the punch could’ve pierced Madara’s chest. If it hit Tobirama, he’d have died instantly...

"Even this didn’t kill him?"

Isshiki swung another punch to finish Madara, but Madara activated his dōjutsu, swapping places with a Limbo clone, dodging the lethal strike.

Seeing this, the heavily injured Isshiki didn’t bother pursuing. In his eyes, though Madara was strong, in terms of status, he wasn’t as significant as this white-haired guy.

Tobirama was the Second Hokage, Hashirama’s brother, and the Fourth Hokage’s senior—his value was surely greater than Madara’s! He could be used to pressure and threaten Hashirama and the others.

As Madara was flung back, Isshiki stabbed a black rod into Tobirama’s body, locking his chakra to prevent Flying Thunder God activation. Then he choked Tobirama’s neck, lifting him into the air.

Finally, he’d turned the tables! Seizing the moment these two fools argued, he captured this vital hostage!

(I haven’t lost! And I won’t lose!) Isshiki roared joyfully in his heart.
