"Is this... a space-time barrier?" Obito's eyes were filled with disbelief. He tried to use his Kamui to break through the barrier, but found that the power of space and time within it was even stronger than his Kamui. The black cracks were immediately purified by the crimson barrier. Captain Rainin also awoke from his illusion. Looking at the situation before him, he knew that only a united front could defeat Obito. "Ototake, let's call a truce for now. Let's deal with this Akatsuki bastard first!"

Yin Zhu nodded in agreement, and the crimson barrier expanded to encompass the remaining Raiin. The Raiin captain immediately gave the order, "Everyone, activate your Lightning Release? Thunderstorm Formation! Use lightning to disrupt his divine power!" Dozens of lightning bolts converged within the barrier, forming a golden thunderstorm. The lightning disrupted Obito's divine chakra, and the suction of the space-time rift was noticeably weakened.

"Do you think you can win like this?" Obito sneered and summoned ten "White Zetsu Armies" from another dimension. These White Zetsu had fused with Hashirama's cells and could use basic Wood Release Ninjutsu. "Today, I will keep you all in this canyon." The White Zetsu Army rushed towards Ototake and the Lightning Ninja Army. The Wood Release vines and Lightning Release lightning collided in the barrier, and the battle once again became fierce.

Yin Zhu watched the growing number of White Zetsu, knowing he couldn't delay any longer. He took a deep breath, completely merging the power of his Eternal Kaleidoscope with the Six Paths of the Scarlet Scepter. The crimson glow within the barrier grew even more intense. "Six Paths? Scarlet Spacetime Realm!" This was a new ability he had mastered in desperate circumstances—transforming the spacetime barrier into an independent combat space, within which his spacetime power could be fully unleashed.

The moment the crimson space-time realm unfolded, all White Zetsu were frozen in place, and the flow of space-time slowed to a crawl. Yinzhu, holding the crimson scepter, teleported in front of Obito, and his six chakras condensed into a massive blade of light. "Obito, your Kamuy is useless in my space-time realm!" The blade slashed towards Obito's mask. Obito attempted to unleash his Kamuy to escape, but found that the space within the space-time realm was completely locked, and he could not open a crack at all.

"Impossible!" Obito's eyes were filled with terror, and he could only block with his arms. The blade of light split his arm, blood splattering in the space-time realm, and a crack appeared on his mask. Knowing he was no match for his opponent, Obito gritted his teeth and used his last trump card, detonating the remaining White Zetsu. The huge impact of the explosion temporarily broke through the shackles of the scarlet space-time realm. He took the opportunity to open a space-time rift and escape into another dimension: "Ototake, the next time we meet, I will make you and your Six Paths Ninja Tools disappear together!"

After the explosion, the crimson space-time realm completely dissipated, and Yin Zhu's chakra was almost exhausted, and he collapsed to the ground. Captain Lei Shinobi walked over to him, looking at the crimson scepter in his hand, his eyes full of complexities. "Thank you this time. But the purple gold gourd is a treasure of the Hidden Thunder Village, you can't take it away."

Yin Zhu looked up at the captain of the Thunder Ninjas, a smile playing on his lips. "I'm only here to confirm the location of the gourd. I won't be taking it away for now." He pointed to the Thunder Temple deep in the canyon. "Akatsuki's target is all the Six Paths Ninja Tools. Do you think the Hidden Thunder Village can hold it with its strength?"

The Lightning Ninja Captain fell silent. Obito's presence had made him realize that the Akatsuki organization posed a far greater threat than he had imagined. Finally, he sighed and said, "If you can help the Hidden Lightning Village protect the Purple Gold Gourd, we can share the rights to its research."

Yin Zhu nodded in agreement, stood up, and walked towards the Thunder Temple, holding onto the Crimson Scepter. The lightning barrier at the temple's entrance seemed as fragile as paper before the Crimson Scepter's Six Paths power, dissolving completely at the slightest touch. Inside the temple, a purple-gold gourd hovered in the center of the altar. Six runes were engraved on its surface, resonating strongly with the Crimson Scepter.

"Finally found it." Yin Zhu walked to the altar and, instead of removing the gourd immediately, placed the scarlet scepter beside it. Two Six Paths Ninja Tools illuminated simultaneously, and runes intertwined in the air, forming an ancient text—recording the whereabouts of the third Six Paths Ninja Tool, the "Basana Fan," in the "Iwagakure Grottoes" of the Land of Earth.

"The Iwagakure Grottoes?" Yin Zhu put away the scarlet scepter, a look of determination in his eyes. He knew the road to finding the Six Paths Ninja Tools was still long, and the threat of the Akatsuki Organization was still lingering. But as long as he possessed the scarlet scepter and the Mangekyō, he would be able to continue on his journey and safeguard the peace of the ninja world.

Captain Raiin entered the temple and, looking at the suspended purple-gold gourd, realized that the cooperation between the Hidden Lightning Village and Yinzhu had only just begun. He walked over to Yinzhu and handed her a lightning escape talisman. "If you run into trouble with the Akatsuki, crush this talisman, and the Hidden Lightning Village will send support."

Yin Zhu took the Thunder Release Talisman and looked at the Thunder Ninja Captain, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. He knew he was no longer alone in his fight against the Akatsuki. With this new clue and the promise of the Hidden Lightning Village, Yin Zhu turned and left the Thunder Temple, heading towards the Iwagakure Grottoes.

The lightning in the Thunder Valley continued to rage, but Yin Zhu stood with unwavering determination. The crimson scepter in his hand glowed faintly, as if guiding his path. The storm in the ninja world continued, but with the power of the Six Paths Ninja Instruments and the support of his companions and allies, Yin Zhu was confident that he could quell this storm and restore peace to the ninja world.
