This was a one-sided slaughter. Madara’s Limbo clones were instantly crushed, unable to even counterattack.
The difference between them was like that of a child and a giant—there was no comparison.
Madara lay on the ground, half his body gone, but he hadn’t died yet. The missing half was regenerating at an incredible speed.
The flesh was visibly knitting back together. In less than a minute, he would be fully restored. This was the power the Ten-Tails granted him.
“Your recovery speed is impressive, but what’s the point of struggling?”
Shin didn’t understand why Madara continued to fight. Didn’t he recognize the vast difference in their strength?
Fine… Since Madara was being stubborn, Shin would just finish him off.
“<All-Killing Ash Bones!>”
A grayish-black bone appeared in Shin’s hand and shot towards Madara.
Madara had been watching Shin closely. In terms of combat experience, Madara was definitely superior to Hagoromo and the others.
He hadn’t lived as long as the Sage of Six Paths, but he had fought countless battles. He had lived through the chaotic Warring States period.
If not for living in that turbulent era, Madara wouldn’t have craved peace so desperately.
Seeing the trajectory of the All-Killing Ash Bones, Madara immediately dodged the attack, which exuded a palpable sense of crisis.
“It’s useless. I won’t let you escape—” Shin said, shaking his head slightly.
“<Tenmomei!>”
Madara, who had already dodged, found time reversing. He was back in his original spot, watching helplessly as the All-Killing Ash Bones struck him.
After being pierced by the All-Killing Ash Bones, a decaying aura emanated from Madara’s body. His body slowly turned to ash.
In this process, Madara couldn’t do anything to change his fate. Being hit by this was like being struck by a Truth-Seeking Orb.
Truth-Seeking Orbs weren’t difficult for those with Six Paths power to deal with, but All-Killing Ash Bones was a different story.
“Farewell, Madara,” Shin said calmly.
There was no way Madara could survive now. He was doomed.
“To think that after all my scheming, even fighting Hashirama… it ends like this.”
A trace of sadness flickered in Madara’s eyes. He wasn’t afraid of death, but his dream remained unfulfilled.
————
“There is no such thing as eternal peace in this world. Even if Infinite Tsukuyomi was a viable option, would that really be good?”
Shin said to the dying Madara.
Infinite Tsukuyomi would trap everyone in a genjutsu. But if humans lived in a genjutsu forever, even if they didn’t turn into White Zetsu, they would perish.
So, Infinite Tsukuyomi, once activated, was a world-destroying technique.
Even after hearing Shin’s words, Madara was still unwilling. Filled with reluctance and regret, Madara Uchiha vanished from the world.
Madara was dead, but the Ten-Tails didn’t die with him. Instead, it was freed.
Kaguya looked at the Ten-Tails, her heart stirring. In the end, she looked at Shin and sighed, not making a move.
Shin’s mouth curled into a smirk. It seemed Kaguya wasn’t that stupid. If Kaguya dared to snatch the Ten-Tails, Shin would absolutely kill her without hesitation.
In other words, Kaguya had just walked on the edge of death and successfully landed safely.
“I wonder if All-Killing Ash Bones can kill you.”
Shin’s gaze was fixed on the Ten-Tails. Logically, with the power of All-Killing Ash Bones, it should be able to eliminate the Ten-Tails.
“It’s useless. All-Killing Ash Bones was also obtained through the God Tree,” Kaguya said to Shin.
Shin didn’t listen to Kaguya and experimented himself. Then he found that Kaguya really hadn’t lied to him… It wasn’t that he couldn’t kill the Ten-Tails, but after killing it, the Ten-Tails could revive.
————
“It can revives because of life force. In that case… I’ll just plunder all of it.” Shin thought of another method. He quickly approached the Ten-Tails, then jumped onto its head. The Ten-Tails didn’t resist Shin.
Shin had dozens of ways to subdue the Ten-Tails, but killing it wasn’t so easy—Right now, Shin could only try, constantly experimenting to find a way to kill the Ten-Tails.
Placing his hands on the Ten-Tails’ head, Shin’s eyes glowed with a blue light. The Ten-Tails’ life force was being continuously stripped away by Shin.
“IT’S WORKING.”
Shin’s eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace. It seemed the System’s mission wasn’t impossible to complete.
The Ten-Tails roared continuously, probably sensing its impending death. Unfortunately, roaring was useless; it couldn’t break free from Shin’s control.
In a way, the Ten-Tails was quite pitiful. It couldn’t even have a quick death.
————
“Will the Ten-Tails’ death affect you?”
Shin chatted with Kaguya to pass the time while extracting the Ten-Tails’ life force.
“It will. My power will never return to its peak…” Kaguya’s expression was grim.
She still wanted to reclaim the Ten-Tails. But this domineering man insisted on killing it. And crucially, she couldn’t stop him.
She was afraid of Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and the others, let alone Shin, who had killed them.
“Oh.”
Shin just said “oh” and then gave no further indication. Anyway, even if Kaguya talked until she was blue in the face, Shin wouldn’t let the Ten-Tails go.
The Ten-Tails’ immense life force took Shin about half an hour to completely extract. The Ten-Tails had now become a tall God Tree, but it was a withered God Tree.
Kaguya looked at the dead tree, on the verge of tears.
————
“[Congratulations, Master! Mission complete! Reward: Divine Replication Card x1.]”
————
Just as Shin burned the withered God Tree with a single fire, the System’s voice came over. His mission was complete.
This also meant the Ten-Tails was truly dead.
