Chapter 543 Six Clone Forms
In a deep, dark basement filled with the smell of decay, a faint candlelight flickered, barely illuminating a corner of the cramped space. The masked man stood there silently, his figure appearing particularly mysterious and eerie in the dim light.
His right eye contained the Rinnegan he had stolen from Nagato, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world. Using the immense power contained within this Rinnegan, the masked man was completely focused on creating his own Six Paths clones.
He had carefully studied the Pain Six Paths model created by Nagato and was determined to use it as a blueprint to create a unique system that perfectly suited his own needs. To this end, he carefully selected six candidates—six Jinchuriki who had been captured and tragically died after having their Tailed Beasts extracted.
It's important to understand that these Jinchūriki were all deployed on the battlefield as incredibly powerful weapons of war when they were alive. Each of them possessed extraordinary strength and talent, and their very existence was enough to strike fear into the hearts of their enemies. Although they are now dead, with the masked man's skillful modifications and the infusion of the Rinnegan's power, they can be restored to unparalleled fighting prowess.
The masked man knew that only by fully exploring and utilizing the powerful abilities of these six Jinchūriki in their lifetimes could he truly make his six clones an unstoppable and terrifying force. Therefore, he devoted all his efforts to using the miraculous power of the Rinnegan to fuse them tightly with the corpses of the six Jinchūriki.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the basement grew increasingly tense. Fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on the masked man's forehead, but his eyes remained unwavering, filled with a desire and anticipation for success.
This was undoubtedly a carefully prepared killing move by the masked man for the Allied Shinobi Forces! He was brimming with confidence, firmly believing that once he successfully created six clones from the six Jinchuriki corpses, he would possess the formidable strength to completely crush the Allied Shinobi Forces. These six clones, forged from the Jinchuriki corpses, were no ordinary creatures; they could freely wield the power of the Tailed Beasts, transforming into their Tailed Beast forms at will, thus unleashing the most terrifying combat power of the Tailed Beasts without reservation.
Imagine the sheer power of all six tailed beasts combined—what a devastating torrent of energy that would be! Such immense and ferocious power would easily breach the Allied Shinobi Forces' defenses, utterly shattering their resistance. Even if he were to once again face the unfathomable and extremely dangerous Orochimaru, the masked man was confident. He knew that with his six tailed beast clones, he was fully capable of emerging victorious in this life-or-death struggle.
However, the masked man did not let his guard down. Besides his six clones, he actually held a most powerful trump card. This trump card was his last lifeline, his ultimate guarantee of absolute certainty. Even in the worst-case scenario—when his six clones could not defeat the formidable Orochimaru—if he decisively unleashed this final move, the scales of victory would irreversibly tip in his favor, and defeat would become a distant memory. That card was the Impure World Reincarnation of Uchiha Madara, which he held in his possession.
The masked man firmly believed that in an era devoid of Hashirama Senju, a formidable opponent, Madara Uchiha would undoubtedly become an invincible and terrifying force. This legendary figure, who had once rivaled Hashirama and co-founded Konoha, possessed power sufficient to shake the entire ninja world. For the masked man, Madara Uchiha was the ultimate trump card in his meticulously planned grand scheme, the final crucial piece in his path to success.
However, despite knowing Madara Uchiha's power, the masked man was unwilling to easily allow him to appear on the battlefield through the Impure World Reincarnation technique. This was because if Madara truly descended, his unparalleled strength and authority could instantly seize control of the situation from the masked man. The masked man had painstakingly built his power to manipulate everything according to his own will; if Madara were to interfere, all his previous efforts could be in vain. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the masked man would never risk summoning this fearsome and uncontrollable being.
On the battlefield, smoke filled the air, and shouts of battle and explosions rose and fell, deafeningly loud. The intensity of the battle far exceeded the command's prior estimates. Flames soared into the sky, and smoke billowed as soldiers from both sides surged forward like a tidal wave, engaging in a breathtaking life-or-death struggle.
The casualty figures of the Allied Shinobi Forces continued to rise, and every fallen figure caused immense pain to their respective ninja villages. However, even in the face of such heavy losses, they remained steadfast in their defenses, refusing to back down.
At this point, the battle lines had reached a stalemate, a far cry from the masked man's initial expectations. He had been confident that the renowned ninjas summoned through the Impure World Reincarnation technique would crush the Allied Shinobi Forces with overwhelming force. But reality had delivered a harsh slap in the face.
The Allied Shinobi Forces displayed unimaginable resilience, disregarding the immense sacrifices they had made, remaining firmly entrenched on this blood-soaked land, refusing to yield an inch. Furthermore, they cleverly utilized the special abilities of sealing talismans, successfully sealing away many of the Edo Tensei ninjas meticulously arranged by the masked man, significantly weakening the enemy's fighting power.
In this brutal war, both sides fought with all their might, neither willing to concede easily. The final outcome seemed to hang by a thread…
Time flew by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall. Smoke filled the air on the battlefield, and shouts of battle rose and fell. As the battle continued, the situation was quietly changing, gradually tilting in favor of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
The Allied Ninja Forces surged forward like a raging torrent, working in close coordination and charging ahead with unwavering courage, each member pushing their ninjutsu to its limits. For a moment, dazzling lights intertwined and flashed across the battlefield, a spectacle that left everyone breathless.
Despite suffering considerable losses in this fierce battle, the Allied Shinobi Forces did not back down and continued their resolute march towards victory. The key to all this was that they successfully found a way to seal the Impure World Reincarnation technique and were continuously carrying out sealing operations.
Each successful seal weakens the enemy's forces; the fall of each reanimated ninja brings the Allied Shinobi Forces one step closer to final victory. At this moment, the dawn of victory is faintly visible ahead; as long as they maintain this fighting spirit and strategy, they will surely achieve final triumph.
The masked man stood silently at the back, like a silent statue. His figure was shrouded in darkness, making it difficult to see his true face. His gaze remained fixed on the distance, as if he were expecting something.
At this moment, he was patiently waiting for Kisame and the others to bring back the two remaining tailed beasts. He paid no attention to the fierce battle on the front lines, because the outcome there was of no value to him.
He had only one goal in mind—to successfully capture the remaining two tailed beasts. This was not only related to his personal ambition and aspirations, but also to the success of the entire plan. However, despite his strong desire for it, the masked man was not entirely confident that he would ultimately succeed in capturing the two tailed beasts.
However, this shrewd man had already prepared a foolproof plan. Even if he couldn't capture all the tailed beasts as perfectly as initially envisioned, he still had backup plans to advance the scheme. After all, through long-term meticulous planning and tireless effort, he had successfully collected the chakra of seven complete tailed beasts, as well as a portion of the Eight-Tails' chakra. Now, he was only one step away from fully activating the legendary Ten-Tails; only the crucial Nine-Tails' chakra was needed to complete the mission.
Although this cobbled-together Ten-Tails might not be as perfect as imagined, the masked man was confident that with the existing resources and power, he could at least barely revive it. Once he achieved this goal, he believed his plan could still be implemented, even if it faced numerous difficulties and challenges.
The Nine-Tails' chakra backup plan involved the resurrected Kinkaku and Ginkaku from the Hidden Cloud Village. They possessed the Nine-Tails' chakra and could even transform into the Nine-Tails, replenishing their own missing chakra.
However, this was merely a backup plan prepared as a last resort. It's important to understand that the masked man harbored doubts about not being able to obtain the complete Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. He had no way of knowing whether, without the complete chakra of these two, he could successfully awaken and activate the Ten-Tails, thus smoothly realizing his long-planned scheme. Faced with so many uncertainties, every decision had to be made with utmost care, striving for perfection to ensure the entire plan proceeded smoothly and to avoid any unforeseen complications that might disrupt the original arrangements.
Gazing at the six bodies lined up before him, standing like sculptures, each radiating a chilling aura, the masked man's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. These six bodies were no ordinary beings; they were all clones created from Jinchūriki, and even more astonishingly, each clone possessed a unique Rinnegan embedded in its eye socket!
These Rinnegan eyes gleamed with a mysterious and profound light, seemingly containing boundless power and secrets. The masked man secretly rejoiced; after a long period of meticulous planning and experimentation, he had finally succeeded in creating these Six Paths clones who were completely obedient to him. Moreover, the materials used to create these clones—the Jinchuriki—endowed them with unparalleled strength.
