Chapter 1265 Extreme

Naruto pushed his Six Paths Chakra to its limit, and the Truth-Seeking Balls behind him formed a giant shield: "Sasuke, we must awaken him! If even Shangguan Mo becomes an enemy, the ninja world is truly doomed!" Sasuke nodded, and the tomoe of his Rinnegan resonated with Naruto's Six Paths Eye Power. "Using the Six Paths Yin-Yang Seal, combined with my Amaterasu Purification, perhaps we can extract the remnant soul of the Otsutsuki from his body!"

Shangguan Mo swung his Spirit Refining Scythe, unleashing a black energy wave that tore black rifts through space. Naruto immediately activated Six Paths Teleportation, using Sasuke to dodge the attack, while simultaneously transforming his Truth-Seeking Balls into golden spears and hurling them at Shangguan Mo. Sasuke, meanwhile, activated his Susanoo, his Perfect Susanoo wielding the Chidori Blade, launching a pincer attack from the side.

"A mere trick!" Shangguan Mo swept his Spirit Refining Scythe, instantly severing the golden spear, and the Thousand Bird Blade gradually dimmed under the erosion of black energy. He activated Spirit Refining: Spatial Distortion, trapping Naruto and Sasuke in a black alternate dimension. Within this dimension, countless Spirit Refining tentacles emerged from the ground, wrapping around the two.

"Six Paths: Super Giant Rasengan!" Naruto fused Six Paths Chakra with the Nine-Tails' energy, and a golden energy ball expanded to tens of meters in size in his palm, blasting towards the barrier of the alternate dimension. At the same time, Sasuke activated Kagutsuchi, and black flames spread along the trajectory of the Rasengan, forming "Fire Release: Six Paths Rasengan." The golden and black energies intertwined, finally blasting open a gap in the alternate dimension.

When the two rushed out of the alternate dimension, ninjas from all the countries of the ninja world had already assembled—Gaara's sandstorm formed a giant pyramid, surrounding the Hagoromo Secret Realm; Killer Bee's Eight-Tails Beast Cannon was ready to fire, with blue energy intertwined with Sage Chakra; Onoki's Dust Release troops formed a formation, ready to unleash the Particle Style: Detachment Technique at any moment; Itachi Uchiha's Edo Tensei also appeared on the battlefield, the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan resonating with Sasuke's Rinnegan.

"Itachi-san, what are you doing here?" Naruto asked in surprise. Itachi's figure was somewhat ethereal in the wind, yet it carried an undeniable majesty: "I was summoned here by the remnant soul of the Sage of Six Paths. He said that to awaken Shangguan Mo, the Spirit Refining Technique, the power of the Six Paths, and the Sharingan's eye power must be combined."

A flicker of emotion crossed Sasuke's eyes. He and Itachi's Sharingan erupted simultaneously, their "Amaterasu: Purifying Flame" and "Kotoamatsukami: Protecting Illusion" intertwining to form a golden genjutsu barrier, temporarily trapping Shangguan Mo within it. Naruto seized the opportunity to activate the Six Paths: Yin-Yang Seal, golden sealing runes flying towards Shangguan Mo, attempting to strip away the remnant soul of the Otsutsuki within him.

"Don't even think about it!" The power of the remnant soul of the Otsutsuki clan erupted completely, causing Shangguan Mo's body to swell to a hundred meters tall. His Spirit Refining Scythe also transformed into a giant weapon a thousand meters long, cleaving through the illusion barrier with a single strike. The black energy wave completely devoured the golden sealing runes. Killer Bee's Eight-Tails Beast Cannon arrived just in time, but he easily deflected it with his Spirit Refining Energy. The blue energy wave then blasted back towards the Cloud Village troops, instantly knocking down a group of ninjas.

"This can't go on!" Gaara's sandstorm shield was being eroded by black energy, and Shukaku's chakra began to become disordered. "His power is still absorbing natural energy. If this continues, he will drain the energy of the entire ninja world!"

Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan and Sasuke's Rinnegan resonated once more, and a memory from the Sage of Six Paths entered everyone's minds: "The core of the Spirit Refining Technique is 'symbiosis,' not confrontation. To awaken Shangguan Mo, he must feel the bonds of the ninja world and activate the protective power within him using the chakra of his comrades."

Naruto instantly understood. He channeled his Six Paths Chakra into the Shinobi World Communication Talisman, sending a message to ninjas from all nations: "Listen up, everyone! Shangguan Mo is our comrade, and he's currently being controlled by the remnant soul of the Otsutsuki! Transfer your chakra to me, and we'll use the power of our bonds to awaken him!"
