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

Thunder roared year-round in the Thunder Hidden Canyon. From the purple-black clouds, lightning bolts as thick as buckets continuously lashed out, charring and cracking the canyon's rocks. Yin Zhu stood at the canyon's entrance, his black windbreaker swirling against his body in the fierce wind. The gem atop his scarlet scepter shone faintly crimson in the lightning. According to fragments of the Six Paths Sage's memories, the second Six Paths Ninja Tool, the "Purple Gold Gourd," was hidden in the "Thunder Temple" deepest in the canyon. However, outside the temple lay not only a "Lightning Release Barrier" cast by the Raikage, but also lurking Akatsuki sentries.

"More dangerous than I imagined." Yin Zhu's Eternal Mangekyo quietly spun, his pupils piercing the lightning. He faintly discerned dozens of chakra fluctuations in the middle of the canyon—the elite troops of the Hidden Lightning Village, each clad in conductive lightning armor and wielding lightning-attracting ninja swords. He took a deep breath and held the scarlet staff horizontally before him. Six strands of chakra flowed along the staff, forming a pale red shield around him, shielding him from the electrical currents in the air.

As they entered the canyon, three lightning bolts suddenly launched from behind the rocks on the left. Light blue lightning, with a sharp crack that ripped through the air, struck Yinzhu's vitals. "The Raikage's men are really quick." Yinzhu activated Flying Thunder God, teleporting to a rock ten meters away. With a flick of his crimson scepter, six chakra chains entangled the ankles of one of the Lightning Ninjas, dragging him to the ground.

"How dare you, outsider, trespass into the Hidden Thunder Canyon!" The leading Lightning Ninja Captain roared, unleashing his Thunder Release? Thunder Plow Blade, his entire body bathed in golden lightning, as he barreled towards Yin Zhu like a cannonball. Yin Zhu refused to block the attack, instead channeling his Kaleidoscopic pupil power into the crimson scepter: "Illusion? Crimson Thunder Prison!" The crimson pupil power fused with the lightning, creating an illusion within the canyon that fooled all the Lightning Ninja into believing they were trapped in a thunderous purgatory, their movements momentarily frozen.

But just as Yinzhu was about to bypass the Lightning Ninja troops, a black space-time rift suddenly appeared behind him. Uchiha Obito stepped out of the rift, Kamui Chakra condensing into a black ball of light in his palm. "Uchiha Obito, I didn't expect you to find the clue to the Purple Gold Gourd first." Obito's Sharingan glowed crimson, and a sneer curled up the corners of his mouth under his mask. "These two Six Paths Ninja Tools should belong to the Akatsuki organization."

A black ball of light shot towards Ototake, who blocked it with his crimson scepter. His Six Paths shield shattered instantly, the powerful impact sending him stumbling back several steps, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. "Obito? Why are you here?" Ototake's eyes were filled with alarm. He knew Obito's Kamui power was formidable, and with the addition of the Lightning Ninja troops, he was now trapped between two opposing forces.

Obito did not answer, but instead activated Kamui and sucked the two Raiinin who were still in the illusion into another space: "The Raikage's men are just roadblocks. The only one who can really stop you is me." He raised his hand and threw out several black magatama, which drew strange trajectories in the air and shot towards Ototake's Mangekyo - obviously wanting to destroy his eye power.

Yin Zhu's Eternal Kaleidoscope spun rapidly, capturing the magatama's trajectory. He simultaneously channeled Six Paths of Chakra into the crimson scepter. "Six Paths? Crimson Spacetime!" Crimson spacetime power erupted from the scepter's tip, forming a spacetime barrier before him. The black magatama collided with the barrier and was instantly engulfed by the distorted spacetime. "Your divine power can manipulate space, and so can my scepter!"

Obito's expression changed. He hadn't expected Otozuki to be able to combine the Six Paths Ninja Tools with the power of space and time. "Looks like I'll have to show my true abilities." Obito's Sharingan evolved into a Mangekyō (a type of shrine), and Kamui chakra permeated the canyon, causing countless black cracks in space and time to appear. "Kamui? Large-scale transfer!" The suction force emanating from the cracks sucked the surrounding rocks and lightning into another dimension, and Otozuki's body began to drift uncontrollably towards the cracks.

"I can't be sucked into the alien space!" Yin Zhu gritted his teeth and injected all the chakra in his body into the scarlet scepter. The Eternal Mangekyo and the gem of the scepter burst out with dazzling light at the same time, "Six Paths? Scarlet Barrier? Complete form!" The giant scarlet barrier unfolded in the canyon, not only resisting the suction of Kamui, but also covering all the cracks in time and space. The flow of time and space within the barrier began to slow down, and Obito's movements also slowed down.
