Instantly mastering every Sage Art from the Three Great Sacred Lands!

Chiyu immediately sensed the impossibly dense natural energy surrounding Mount Myōboku—vast and inexhaustible, seemingly without limit.

In the very next moment he entered Sage Mode, greedily absorbing that energy and converting it into his own Sage chakra.

Sage Art: Lightning Release – Blade of False Darkness!

Trying out his new power, Chiyu infused the Blade of False Darkness with Sage chakra and gave it a casual swing…

Boom—

Even without striking anything solid, the attack cleaved boulders, cliffs and earth itself as though they were paper, carving a massive rift that spider‑webbed hundreds of meters outward.

"Is this the power of Sage Art?

Interesting indeed…"

Sage Mode elevated all of Chiyu's abilities—raw strength, perception, range—across the board.

And he hadn't acquired just one land's Sage techniques; he now possessed every Sage Art from all three Sacred Lands.

That meant he could freely use Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation, Sage Art: Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid, Sage Art: Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant—anything.

Meanwhile, his ocular power had blasted past 100,000 points—

The Rinnegan's might was now unrivaled, its mastery complete.

The radius of Takamagahara (his divine domain) had jumped from 300 meters to one full kilometer.

Beyond the single law of Space, he had now added control over the law of Mass.

Within his domain he could govern both at will.

Chiyu smiled faintly.

The katana in his hand tightened—then, under his domain's influence…

Vmmm—

The blade suddenly expanded to several hundred meters long!

Rumble!!

With one downward slash, its mass amplified thousands of times, he gouged a colossal abyss through Mount Myōboku itself.

A heartbeat later, with a mere thought, the sword shrank to the size of an embroidery needle—light as a feather.

Size at his whim, weight at his command.

More terrifying still, inside Takamagahara Chiyu could create or erase mass at will—

something from nothing, or nothing from something.

At this level he was scarcely different from a true god.

Barring an immortal like Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, even Six Paths–level opponents could no longer contend with him.

Of course, every technique has flaws and costs.

Takamagahara devoured chakra at a fearsome rate; even Chiyu's reserves—greater than a tailed beast's—would run dry in under a minute.

But a minute—or even a few seconds—was more than enough to erase any foe.

Chiyu obliterated the Three Great Sacred Lands, killing the White Snake Sage, the Great Toad Sage and Jiraiya, subduing the remaining Toad Sages and the surviving snakes of Ryūchi Cave, and gaining power beyond imagination—all within half a day.

He then teleported back to Konoha via Takamagahara and announced the news at a Five Kage Summit.

The entire shinobi world was stunned.

The Sacred Lands—millennia‑old realms beyond the shinobi world—had been casually wiped out!

Kage and elders alike exchanged shaken looks.

Chiyu laid out his plan: once peace was secured he would release the Sacred Lands' natural energy back into the world and share the secrets of Sage training so that anyone could learn it.

Hope swept the assembly.

With the Sacred Lands gone, a brief peace settled over the shinobi world.

Even Akatsuki remained inactive.

Chiyu did not believe Uchiha Madara had given up; such silence could only mean one thing—he was preparing a decisive move.

If he were Madara:

1. Uchiha Chiyu was now too strong; without reaching the Six Paths level, beating him was impossible.

2. To reach that level required the tailed beasts, most of whom had not yet reincarnated—and prying them from Chiyu's grasp was nearly hopeless.

3. Was there some other way to bypass Chiyu, obtain the Ten‑Tails, become its jinchūriki, gain Six Paths power and launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi?

Madara's own strength had limits—but Chiyu knew Madara had Black Zetsu, an entity who had schemed over a millennium. A different path might exist.

So Chiyu would not underestimate such enemies.

…

One day, Chiyu sensed a summons from the tailed beasts.

As the jinchūriki of all nine beasts—though he could borrow only a portion of their power—he could communicate with them.

Entering the shared mental space, he asked, "What is it?"

The Nine‑Tails spoke: their bodies were nearly re‑formed; rebirth was close.

Yet as beings of chakra, they could only vaguely sense when and where they would reincarnate.

Chiyu understood: the final battle was coming, and Madara would be waiting.

The Eight‑Tails added that Madara might know things even if they did not; once they reincarnated, he would surely try to capture them—and they would rely on Chiyu's power.

Chiyu agreed.

…

Elsewhere—Akatsuki base

Madara entered, cold and imperious. During his absence he had been conducting unimaginable experiments.

"How goes your research, Orochimaru?"

Orochimaru laughed softly. "Experiments aren't done overnight, Madara‑dono. But I have acquired a formidable assistant… Allow me to introduce Hiruko."

A long‑haired man snorted.

"I'm no friend of yours, Orochimaru. I cooperate only for Akatsuki's resources."

Konan frowned. "Hiruko? A Konoha renegade from the Sannin's era, vanished after dabbling in forbidden jutsu… Birds of a feather, indeed."

Orochimaru waved him off. Hiruko's Iburi Clan's Chimera Technique could fuse almost any ninjutsu—even kekkei genkai. Combined with Orochimaru's own research, they aimed to meld any Kekkei Genkais into one ultimate power.

Kekkei Genkais fuse two chakra natures; Kekkei Tōtas fuse three.

Beyond that lay the mythical fusion of all seven natures—Kekkei Mōra, the power of the chakra progenitor Ōtsutsuki Kaguya: creation and annihilation.

Could Orochimaru and Hiruko truly create such power? The Akatsuki members were shaken.

Madara pressed: "And the other experiment?"

Orochimaru described a subject named Shin—capable of accepting any bloodline without rejection. Cloning Shin's body and merging Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, Hyūga, Kaguya, Ōtsutsuki bloodlines—perhaps one day they could approach Six‑Paths or even Kaguya's level.

Madara was impatient. "I cannot wait forever… Zetsu."

"Yes, Madara‑sama."

…

At last, Matatabi, the Two‑Tails, was the first to reincarnate, in a remote mountain ravine of Kumogakure.

He immediately informed Chiyu.

Chiyu teleported there via Takamagahara.

Simultaneously space warped and Obito—the masked man—appeared.

Chiyu glanced at him. "A defeated foe. You wouldn't dare face me alone—come out, Madara."

Obito, though angry, admitted the truth and used Kamui to release the reanimated Uchiha Madara.

Thus Uchiha Chiyu and Uchiha Madara finally confronted each other.

"Those eyes… the Rinnegan, yet above a normal Rinnegan?" Madara murmured, frowning.

Chiyu replied coolly: "Show your trump card, Madara. As you are now, you're no match for me."

Madara's eyes narrowed. "Don't be arrogant, boy! I now wield power surpassing my prime—Senju power as well!"

He unleashed Hashirama's Wood Style:

Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!

Giant trunks and vines erupted, forming a towering forest that surged to bind Chiyu.

Wood Style could attack, defend, restrain and even absorb chakra—the power that once let Hashirama pacify the warring states era.

But to Chiyu now, it was nothing.

He sneered and activated Ryūchi Cave Sage Art:

Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!

Rumble!!

Mountains and ravines came alive—cliffs turned to dragons, valleys to gaping jaws—devouring the wood forest outright.

Madara, Obito and Matatabi were all dumbstruck.

"S‑Sage Art?!" Obito gasped.

Even Madara was shaken: "So this is Ryūchi Cave Sage Art? Not even the White Snake Sage wielded such power…"

He had no time to marvel; the living mountains lunged to swallow him.

Madara's face paled but he barked:

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

A sea of fire like a lake burst forth, stalling the living terrain. Wood style feared fire; so too did Inorganic Reincarnation's creations.

Taking to the air, Madara unleashed another blaze:

Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!

Flaming dragon heads roared from every direction, sealing off all retreat.

Chiyu chuckled. "Pointless games, Madara."

He raised a hand—the Deva Path's Preta ability:

Sealing Technique Absorption!

All flames vanished into his palm.

Madara smiled thinly. "Indeed, ordinary ninjutsu is useless against the Rinnegan… then try this!"

He summoned Susanoo—a colossal avatar with two faces and four arms—whose gestures mirrored Madara's own, allowing it to form hand‑seals as well.

—Tengai Shinsei!
