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

"kill!"

The Allied Forces roared once more, their Fire Release: Great Fireball and Lightning Release: Lightning Blade intertwining into a net, while Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet and Earth Release: Earth Flow River complemented each other, charging towards the Six Paths of Pain. The Deva Path of Pain raised his hand and activated "Shinra Tensei," the immense repulsive force forcefully deflecting the Allied Forces' attack. Yin Zhu's eyes sharpened, and he activated Flying Thunder God Technique, teleporting to the Deva Path's side. The six spikes of his crimson scepter pointed directly at his Rinnegan: "Your opponent is me!" Just as the spikes were about to touch the Deva Path, the Asura Path's laser cannon suddenly attacked. Yin Zhu dodged to the side, but the Preta Path seized the opportunity to approach, attempting to absorb his chakra. "You're courting death!" Yin Zhu's Mangekyou Sharingan spun, and the Genjutsu: Kotoamatsukami instantly controlled the Preta Path, forcing him to absorb the Asura Path's energy. Both Paths of Pain instantly fell into chaos. "Universal Pull!" The Deva Path of Pain activated its gravity, forcibly pulling Yin Zhu towards itself, while the Hell Path prepared to revive the other Paths of Pain. Yin Zhu twisted his body in mid-air, channeling Six Paths Chakra into his crimson scepter: "Six Paths: Crimson Space-Time!" An independent space-time battle space unfolded, trapping the Deva Path and Naraka Path within it—within this space, Yin Zhu's space-time power was amplified infinitely, suppressing Pain's Rinnegan abilities by more than half. "Impossible! How can the Rinnegan be countered?" Deva Path Pain's voice was filled with disbelief. Yin Zhu sneered, the crimson scepter transforming into a blade of light, cleaving through Naraka Path's body: "Because you don't understand, the power of protection is far greater than destruction!" The blade of light spun again, slashing towards Deva Path Pain's Rinnegan. Just then, a black spatial rift suddenly appeared, and Obito's figure emerged from it, his Kamui chakra blocking the light blade: "Yinzhu, your opponent is me." III. Ultimate Fusion: Six Paths Crimson God-Slaying Punishment. Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan lit up, and his Kamui chakra stirred up a storm within the spatial dimension: "You think you can win by assembling the Allied Forces? The Akatsuki has already prepared the 'Tailed Beast Ball Matrix.' If I delay even a moment, the capital cities of the five great nations will all look like Sunagakure's western town!" He raised his hand and opened a different dimension; the Tailed Beast Balls of the Three-Tails and Six-Tails condensed within the spatial rift, the black energy spheres carrying an aura of destruction crashing towards the Allied Forces' barrier. "Not good!" Yinzhu's pupils shrank sharply—while the Crimson Barrier could defend against attacks, it might not be able to withstand the explosive power of the Tailed Beast Balls. At this critical moment, several powerful chakra fluctuations suddenly emanated from within the Allied Forces. Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, the Raikage's Lightning Release Armor, Onoki's Dust Release, Hozuki Gengetsu's Steam Explosion, and Rasa's Gold Dust—the five great nations' strongest warriors simultaneously unleashed their chakra, channeling it into Yin Zhu's Crimson Barrier. "Yin Zhu! Use our chakra to activate the ultimate power of the Six Paths Ninja Tools!" Hiruzen's voice echoed from the rear of the Allied Forces, aged yet powerful. Yin Zhu's heart skipped a beat, instantly understanding their intentions. He unleashed the full power of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, completely fusing the chakra of the five great nations' strongest warriors, his own Uchiha bloodline, and the Six Paths power of the Crimson Staff— "Six Paths: Crimson Ultimate Form—Sword of the Ninja World's Protection!" The Crimson Staff instantly transformed into a gigantic lightsaber tens of meters long, its blade engraved with the ninja clan runes of the five great nations and the secret patterns of the Sage of Six Paths. The gem at its tip shimmered in sync with Yin Zhu's Mangekyou Sharingan, emitting a light powerful enough to dispel darkness. Yin Zhu, wielding a giant lightsaber, teleported to the front of the Tailed Beast Ball and roared at Obito and the Six Paths of Pain, "The Akatsuki's destruction plan ends here!" The moment the lightsaber struck, time seemed to stand still. The Tailed Beast Ball was forcibly torn apart by the sword light, its black energy dissipating into countless specks of light; Obito's Kamui dimension was shattered by the sword light, his mask cracking open to reveal a shocked face; the Six Paths of Pain crumbled inch by inch in the sword light, the light of his Rinnegan gradually dimming. IV. Post-War Echoes: The Promise of Protection Illuminates the Ninja World The Akatsuki headquarters in Amegakure collapsed in the sword light, Obito fled in disarray with his remaining forces, and the Six Paths of Pain were utterly destroyed. The cheers of the Allied Forces were deafening, the surviving ninjas embracing each other, tears mingling with sweat—they had won this war. Yin Zhu sheathed the giant lightsaber, the crimson scepter returning to its original state, only the gem at its tip shone even brighter than before. He walked to the survivors of the western town of Sunagakure and slowly bowed: "I have kept my promise. The ninja world is safe." The survivors knelt down and kowtowed to Yin Zhu and the Allied Forces: "Thank you, Lord Yin Zhu! Thank you, all the Allied Forces!" Hiruzen walked to Yin Zhu's side, patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction: "You have grown from a boy who protected Otogakure into a hero who protects the entire ninja world." Yin Zhu smiled and looked at Shisui, the Raikage, Onoki, and the others beside him: "This is not my achievement alone, but the result of everyone fighting side by side. The peace of the ninja world has never been the protection of one person, but the steadfast commitment of the five nations." The setting sun pierced through the clouds of Amegakure, shining on the ravaged but gradually recovering land. Yin Zhu held the crimson scepter, standing at the forefront of the Allied Forces, with the figures of the ninjas of the five great nations behind him, like an unbreakable barrier. He knew that although the war was over, the road to rebuilding the ninja world was still long, but as long as the five great nations continued to work together, and as long as there were still people willing to fight for protection, peace in the ninja world would never be extinguished. And the crimson scepter in his hand would forever serve as a symbol of protection, shining with a warm and unwavering light under the sky of the ninja world.
