“Attacking Shin with a Truth-Seeking Orb… that’s kind of hilarious,” Kushina couldn’t help but say.
“Anyone with Six Paths power can touch the Truth-Seeking Orbs freely. He probably thinks Shin doesn’t have that kind of power,” Mikoto guessed Obito’s thought process.
In fact, Obito was right—he didn’t know Shin had already reached Six Paths level. And Shin wasn’t just an average Six Paths level being; his strength had even surpassed that threshold—
—As for how strong he truly was??
Shin himself didn’t know… But he had easily thrashed Hamura Ōtsutsuki—the Sage of Six Paths’ younger brother. In that battle, Hamura had no resistance whatsoever and was effortlessly eliminated by Shin.
“<Gentle Fist Art: Eight Trigrams Three Hundred and Sixty-One Palms!>”
After Shin assumed the Gentle Fist stance—Six Paths Obito was enveloped within the Ba Gua trigram pattern.
At this point, Obito couldn’t escape…
Or rather, Obito didn’t even have a chance to escape.
Sensing danger, Obito immediately used Kamui. Even as the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, Obito still trusted his Kamui intangibility the most.
“Kamui? Useless.”
Shin’s barrage of fists and palms didn’t cease.
The friction from his high-speed punches ignited the air, and all the palm strikes landed on Obito’s body—
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!”
Obito spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground, his body twisted and contorted by Shin’s blows, his bones almost completely shattered.
“WHY??”
Obito painstakingly raised his head, looking at Shin.
His Kamui hadn’t failed just now. His real body was in the Kamui dimension; how could he still be hit??
“You think I can’t hit you just because you’re hiding in the Kamui dimension??” Shin glanced at Obito with disdain.
With the assistance of Yomotsu Hirasaka—each of Shin’s attacks passed through space. Even if Obito hid in the Amenominaka Dimension, Shin could still hit him.

“Hiashi, so your family’s Gentle Fist is that powerful?” Nawaki poked Hiashi Hyūga, unable to help but comment.
Hiashi Hyūga, seeing everyone looking at him, felt his mouth twitch slightly. He also didn’t know Hyūga Clan’s Gentle Fist was this powerful either…
Was Obito strong?
Just his aura alone made Hiashi Hyūga afraid to act. Yet he was beaten down by Shin using the Gentle Fist.
So, everyone else thought the Gentle Fist was strong!
Also, wasn’t the Gentle Fist a Hyūga Clan Secret Taijutsu?
Didn’t it require the Byakugan to use?
Why could Shin Uzumaki use it?
With these questions, everyone, including the Fourth Raikage, Ōnoki, and Gaara, looked at Hiashi Hyūga with confusion.
Hiashi Hyūga couldn’t help but smile wryly. ‘You guys are confused? I’M JUST AS CONFUSED!!’
And, it wasn’t that the Gentle Fist was strong, but that Shin Uzumaki was strong. It was Shin who was strong.
“I don’t know. Don’t ask me…” Hiashi Hyūga said calmly. He truly didn’t know.
———
“Obito, you’re really weak. I just warmed up a bit, and you’re already down—” Shin looked down at Obito, shaking his head in disappointment.
Six Paths Obito’s strength, compared to Hamura Ōtsutsuki’s, was not just a little bit different.
———
Not far away, Madara Uchiha’s eyes were filled with horror. After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, Obito’s power was something even he had to take seriously.
But Obito was easily beaten down by Shin Uzumaki.
This was too theatrical… Even a great schemer like Madara Uchiha couldn’t help but be horrified.
He felt that if he became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, his strength would definitely be much greater than Obito’s. But he still had no confidence in fighting Shin Uzumaki.
Before, Madara Uchiha had been confident. But now… he really had no confidence at all.
———
After beating Obito down, Shin didn’t attack again.
Obito’s current injuries weren’t that severe.
After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki—as long as the Tailed Beast wasn’t extracted, his life force was as tenacious as a cockroach’s; he basically wouldn’t die.
However, the chakra within Obito’s body had been partially sealed by Shin.
“An opponent like you—is not worth the effort of killing…” After saying that, Shin turned and walked towards Kushina and the others.
Obito was completely bewildered. He had thought Shin Uzumaki would take this opportunity to kill him.
But even though Shin didn’t kill Obito, he didn’t receive any gratitude from Obito. Obito naturally wouldn’t be grateful to Shin. His hatred for Shin was still immense.
———
“Why didn’t you kill him?”
Kushina asked Shin, puzzled, after he returned.
“It’s not time yet. Let’s see if he can lure out Naruto Uzumaki,” Shin shrugged.
Actually, even if Naruto Uzumaki didn’t come out, Shin could easily find him. Last time, he had left a chakra imprint within Naruto Uzumaki.
Including Sasuke Uchiha—
The women were confused. They didn’t know what use Naruto Uzumaki had.
Shin didn’t tell them.
Naruto Uzumaki was just bait for Shin, bait to lure out the Sage of Six Paths.
———
Although Obito had been thrashed by Shin earlier, when facing others, he was the one doing the thrashing.
Though Shin had sealed part of his chakra, he hadn’t completely sealed it, so some Ninjutsu could still be used.
And even without Ninjutsu, just with the remaining few Truth-Seeking Orbs and Taijutsu, the Kage of the Shinobi world were no match for him.
As for the other ninja, they had no room to interfere. Besides, there was still the White Zetsu army waiting for them to deal with.
Oro-Kabuto’s Edo Tensei army hadn’t been completely sealed either. And those reanimated by Oro-Kabuto were not weak.
The weakest had the strength of an Elite Jonin, while the strongest were the former Kage of the major villages, their strength even greater than the current Kage.
These people weren’t easy to seal. Although their strength was somewhat restricted, the advantages of Edo Tensei made up for this weakness.
“I’m the only one who can deal with him,” Hashirama Senju said seriously.
Right now, only he could handle Six Paths Obito. But Hashirama Senju didn’t know if he could defeat him either.
———
“Hashirama, your opponent is me.” Madara Uchiha certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity for some love-hate drama, standing opposite Hashirama Senju, looking at him with indifference.
“MADARA!”
Hashirama Senju looked helpless. He had forgotten about Madara. It seemed he couldn’t deal with Obito now.
To fight Six Paths Obito while facing Madara Uchiha’s attacks—that would be underestimating Madara Uchiha too much.
Though he had defeated Madara Uchiha before, the current Madara Uchiha was not the same one he had defeated.
Now, Madara Uchiha possessed the Rinnegan!
If they fought now, Hashirama Senju had no absolute confidence in defeating Madara Uchiha.
It was probably a 50/50 chance.
He could be defeated, or he could suppress Madara Uchiha.
