You also activate Susanoo, summoning ten Truth-Seeking Orbs radiating with sage-like white light that orbit around your body.

One figure is clad in pitch-black, glimmering faintly like starlight. The other is robed in regal purple and gold, majestic beyond words. Two giants now stand facing one another.

One swings a massive blade a kilometer long. The other thrusts forth a spear spanning a thousand zhang!

Blade and spear collide, shaking the entire continent of the Shinobi World.

After ten exchanges, neither side can claim victory.

By the hundredth round, you're already showing signs of fatigue.

By the thousandth exchange, the battlefield is riddled with deep fissures and craters over a hundred meters wide. Your Susanoo has suffered severe damage.

In contrast, the Susanoo controlled by "Naruto" has only sustained minor cracks, still standing tall and nearly indestructible.

Yet despite the disparity, you grin.

Because you've finally seen it—this is the full extent of his Susanoo's strength.

A crude, borrowed power wielded without finesse. No matter how many centuries he reincarnates, "Naruto" is still just an Ōtsutsuki at his core. He understands nothing of true power.

Merely a slave to it!

For someone like that—ignorant of what true power means, stubborn to the core, and blind to his own limitations—even if your strength is slightly inferior, dealing with him is all too easy.

As "Naruto" charges again—

You close your eyes, as if awaiting death.

But the slash never lands. The long blade misses the unguarded head of your black Susanoo, merely tearing through the air with thunderous force.

In that instant, your Susanoo's aura retracts sharply, and its size shrinks with it.

The purple-gold Susanoo strikes again—but the black one contracts once more.

After two rounds of compression, your Susanoo is now only about a hundred meters tall.

And still shrinking.

Before long, a new Susanoo appears—only three meters in height.

All ten of your sage-mode Truth-Seeking Orbs are absorbed into this form, lighting up the ten tomoe embedded in the Susanoo's armor.

Though small, this Susanoo now radiates an overwhelming power—so immense it bends the space around it!

This is a power that can only be borne by the true essence of the Six-Tomoe Sharingan.

—Final Form Susanoo!

As you open your eyes, the Final Form Susanoo begins to move.

At first, its pace is slow.

Then—

Boom!

The head of the purple-gold Susanoo is obliterated. Its towering body slowly collapses.

"Naruto's" real body is now exposed.

Your Final Form Susanoo, dark as ink and speckled with stars, reappears—one hand gripping a blazing spear, the other wielding a scythe of death.

Behind it looms the towering figure of the Shinigami.

At the same time, space around you distorts, and a surge of power erupts from the Dragon Vein!

With two dull thuds, "Naruto's" divine-like body—capable of shattering statues of faith—now sports gaping holes that would make anyone shudder.

Flames burn within the wounds, warring against the black-and-white blood flowing through his body.

A moment later, his body—riddled with holes—is shredded by countless blades, reduced to a storm of scattered flesh.

And within that storm, the rules of death continue to assault the supreme divine forces contained within his form!

This is war on a godly level—where only rules can contend with rules.

Though "Naruto" now commands the "Taiji rule" born of Yin-Yang fusion, vastly surpassing the dual rules you control—

The Dragon Vein has arrived!

Within the Dragon Vein surges an infinite torrent of energy and rule. If wielded properly, even a body forged by the rules themselves cannot escape total annihilation.

This... is the pinnacle of Inorganic Reincarnation!

From within the chaotic current of the Dragon Vein's rules, you hear a soul-shattering roar—the sound of "Naruto's" spirit being utterly annihilated.

You quietly observe, watching as he is finally swallowed by the overwhelming force.

...

But at that very moment—

The world around you begins to spin.

Your body reverses direction uncontrollably. Even trying to activate ninjutsu or command the powers of rule becomes nearly impossible.

You realize—your control over your body has been severed.

In your disoriented state—

You feel yourself growing lighter, your surroundings shifting and morphing.

There's no trace of life here—less than even the war-ravaged surface of the Shinobi World.

Time seems to lose all meaning. Just one breath makes you feel as if millennia have passed.

As your steps stabilize, you realize—

You've become a soul.

What... incredible power...

You look around in astonishment. Countless soul forms stretch as far as the eye can see, all kneeling, all endlessly worshiping in the same direction.

With each worship, a misty golden aura—resembling faith—drifts from their forms, causing their bodies to turn more and more transparent.

In just a few blinks, you watch four or five near-invisible souls complete their final worship. They dissolve into white mist, merging completely into the space.

You approach one of the souls, but no matter what you do, you can't wake them. They're unresponsive, locked in eternal worship.

You also notice—you can no longer sense any natural energy or Nature Affinities.

You try to cast a Water Release jutsu—yet the moment it leaves your body, it vanishes without a trace.

That's when it hits you.

This is the Pure Land.

The divine realm of the Sage of Six Paths.

"To meet the Sage, and not bow—is this not arrogance?"

As you realize this, a voice like a divine bell echoes from the direction of the worshiping souls.

Hearing it, your consciousness wavers for a moment—

An uncontrollable urge to kneel begins to rise.

Thankfully, your soul was tempered by the Rule of Fire. It may not be an overwhelming rule, but it grants you the clarity to resist.

You lift your gaze—and see him.

Seated high in the heavens—the Sage of Six Paths himself.

He watches you with a curious and somewhat amused expression, as if trying to discern what makes you different from the others.

But it seems he finds nothing special on the surface of your soul.

Still, he speaks:

He invites you to witness a grand spectacle.

With a wave of his hand, a massive screen appears in the Pure Land's sky.

And there—your entire life begins to play out.

From your birth to now, every moment is projected.

But starting from when you were three years old, certain images begin to flicker strangely. Then, scenes of you suddenly gaining immense power and everything you did with it.

Later, entering Jashin's realm, then training in Ryūchi Cave—until the screen cuts off again.

Your expression turns somber.

So everything you did… was never hidden from the Sage of Six Paths.

All your plans—exposed.

He could perceive everything happening in the Shinobi World with ease. And without even alerting Jashin, he dragged you here into his divine realm.

It's now clear—his power is utterly beyond your comprehension.

A level far beyond anything you can imagine or touch...
