After taking over the snake uncle's foundation, Sasuke came to surrender on his own initiative.

Akagi and Hozuki exchanged a glance, a struggle in their eyes—they resented Ototake for robbing the ninja world of its prestige, and even more so, the Akatsuki's arrogance and threats. Ultimately, Hozuki made the first decision: "Alright! We'll team up for now! But afterward, we'll have to decide the outcome!" He unleashed his Water Style, the Water Mirror Technique, creating countless water mirrors in the canyon. Each one reflected the Akatsuki members, exposing their attacks to everyone.

Akagi also ordered the Rock Ninja to cooperate: "Everyone use Dust Release to attack the spores of Akatsuki! Everyone from Kirigakure, use Water Release to restrict their movement!" The Rock Ninja's Dust Release light blades and the Kirigakure's Water Release water columns cooperated to temporarily suppress the Akatsuki's attack, giving Yin Zhu a chance to catch his breath.

Yinzhu's Eternal Mangekyō and the Crimson Scepter illuminated simultaneously. He could sense the Six Paths' power within the scepter resonating more deeply with his own bloodline—a power passed down from the Uchiha ancestors and the Sage of Six Paths, now unlocking new abilities in the face of this crisis. "Six Paths? Crimson Barrier!" He plunged the scepter into the ground, and crimson Six Paths chakra spread along the ground, forming a massive barrier across the canyon. The chakra of all friendly forces within the barrier was amplified, while the chakra of the Akatsuki members was continuously suppressed.

"Is this... a boost barrier?" Surprise flashed in Hozuki's eyes. He could feel his Water Style chakra becoming more active, and the power of his Steaming Dangerous Explosion increased several times. Akatsuki also noticed something unusual; his Dust Style light blades had become even sharper, easily slicing through the Akatsuki's defenses.

Jue's expression darkened. He hadn't expected Yin Zhu to unlock the Six Paths' ninja tool's buffs, instantly giving the once-weakened coalition the upper hand. "Everyone, use your trump cards! We can't let him control the barrier any longer!" He unleashed his Spore Devouring ability, sending countless spores swarming towards the barrier, attempting to absorb its energy. However, they were instantly purified by the Six Paths' power.

Five Akatsuki members simultaneously activated their Kekkei Genkai. Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation, Lightning Style: Raikiri, and Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, blasting across the canyon in an attempt to break through the crimson barrier. Yinzhu's Eternal Mangekyō spun rapidly, capturing the trajectory of all the attacks. Simultaneously, he used his staff to manipulate the Six Paths of Chakra, forming countless energy shields within the barrier, blocking all attacks.

"It's time to fight back." Yinzhu's voice spread throughout the canyon through the barrier, "Akagi, use Dust Release to attack the left wing of the Akatsuki organization! Hozuki Gengetsu, use the Water Mirror Jutsu to contain their right wing! I'll deal with Zetsu!"

Akagi and Hozuki leaped into action. Akagi's Dust Release: Separation of the Realm technique shot towards the left wing of the Akatsuki, instantly engulfing two members. Hozuki's Water Mirror technique replicated the attacks of the members of the right wing, forcing them into a fratricidal fight. Ototake unleashed Flying Thunder God, teleporting in front of Zetsu, and the six spikes of the scarlet scepter pierced his heart.

Jue hadn't expected Yin Zhu to be so fast. He quickly activated his spore double, using the spore clone to block the attack while his main body burrowed into the ground. "Trying to run?" Yin Zhu's Eternal Mangekyo locked onto Jue's chakra trajectory, and the scarlet scepter drew six runes on the ground. "Six Paths Sealing Technique!"

At this critical moment, every Konoha ninja burst out with amazing potential and launched a joint attack.
