Chapter 176: Why Is Your Fire Style So Powerful?

Over the years, Uchiha Yi had been constantly absorbing natural energy, refining his Sage Body, and strengthening his physical attributes. The extent of his power was something even he couldn't fully grasp.

Now, during his battle with Madara, it was clear: his speed, reaction time, and overall abilities far surpassed Madara's.

By comparison, his physical strength was likely on par with the Ten-Tails itself.

Satisfied with this realization, Yi casually nullified Madara's Sage Art: Shadow-Style Lightning Dispatch using Void Devouring Flame, reducing the attack to nothingness.

But Madara, ever the opportunist, resorted to a surprise attack.

It was time for Yi to show him what true power looked like.

---

"All Things in the Universe Turn to Ash, Ryūjin Jakka!"

As soon as the release command was uttered, the entire battlefield transformed.

A fiery red hue engulfed the area, and flames over 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit reduced the surroundings to ash. The air itself seemed to warp from the intense heat.

---

"Not good! Run!"

The searing waves of heat incinerated anyone too close, reducing them to charred remains in an instant. Those who were quick to react screamed in terror, fleeing as far as they could.

In mere moments, the battlefield was empty save for Minato Namikaze, who, as an Edo Tensei, could barely withstand the heat.

---

"Such terrifying fire techniques... I can't even stay to watch!"

Minato stood in stunned silence.

Once hailed as a genius and feared as the "Yellow Flash," he had always been a symbol of power. Yet now, even as a mere spectator, he found himself overwhelmed and insignificant.

---

Meanwhile, Madara was similarly stunned.

"How can a fire style be this strong?!"

The heat was unbearable. He felt as though he was standing on the surface of the sun.

"Impossible... This can't exist!"

---

Yi's calm voice cut through the flames like a blade.

"Why do you cling to your shallow understanding to deny the sights you've never seen?"

"I know it's hard for someone like you to admit your weakness, Madara."

"But against this power, what will you do? Surrender?"

Yi's blade glowed even brighter as he taunted Madara with his words, his tone calm yet cutting.

---

"Surrender? Never!"

Madara roared defiantly, refusing to yield.

"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!"

Madara unleashed a thin, laser-like attack from his mouth, cutting through the air toward Yi.

---

But Yi met the attack with a flick of his blade.

"Soaring Ash Slash!"

The fiery arc of his sword intercepted the laser, obliterating it mid-flight.

---

Madara's disbelief deepened. His most powerful techniques were rendered useless in the face of Yi's overwhelming power.

"Is this... the true gap between us?"

---

Desperate, Madara summoned all of his Truth-Seeking Orbs, fusing them into a massive sword. With a mighty swing, he split Yi's flames apart, though the effort drained him considerably.

Using this brief window, Madara turned and fled.

---

"Running away, Madara?"

Yi smirked but made no move to pursue. If he wanted to kill Madara, he could have done so long ago.

But killing him wasn't the goal—Yi wanted answers.

He was waiting for the elusive Six Paths Sage, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, to make an appearance.

Why hadn't Hagoromo shown up yet? What was he planning?

Until Yi could figure out the Sage's intentions, he decided to bide his time.

---

"He's not chasing me?"

Madara glanced back as he fled, puzzled by Yi's lack of pursuit.

Though he didn't understand Yi's reasoning, he wasn't about to waste the opportunity.

---

"Are you letting him execute the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?"

Minato appeared nearby, his voice cautious.

Yi sheathed Ryūjin Jakka, his flames dissipating.

"And if I am? What difference does it make?"

"I told you before: until I've unified the ninja world, I don't care what happens to it."

"Madara is just a tool to clear away the obstacles for me."

His words were calm but carried a chilling weight, leaving Minato silent.

---

Elsewhere, Madara regrouped with Black Zetsu.

"Black Zetsu, where's my other Rinnegan?"

"I have it here, Lord Madara," Black Zetsu replied, motioning to a White Zetsu beside him.

The White Zetsu revealed a Rinnegan implanted in its eye socket.

---

"Perfect!"

Madara's confidence surged as he violently extracted the Rinnegan and implanted it in his own empty eye socket.

Now equipped with both Rinnegan, his power felt complete.

---

"Lord Madara, if that Uchiha Yi isn't stopping our plan, let's not waste time. Begin the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

Black Zetsu was growing anxious. Yi's overwhelming power had left him uneasy.

---

Madara, though reluctant, nodded.

With both Rinnegan now activated, he felt the surging power of the Ten-Tails within him.

"Very well," he said, his voice resolute.

"Let's bring this world into eternal peace."
