Even Shinjutsu requires powerful chakra to activate; this is why Shinji was able to rely on cutting off chakra perception to gain immunity to Daemon's Killing Intent Perception.
Shibai Otsutsuki at this moment fell into a predicament, which was that his body, born from Orochimaru, was not enough to support him in exerting the Shinjutsu on his body to the extreme!
Sasuke gave a light hmph: "Hmph, this bastard is at most at the Kekkei Mora level, not as strong as he claimed at all!"
Toneri said coldly: "His chakra has been consumed a lot; we can win!"
Pah
Naruto punched his fists together: "Of course!"
Shion then reminded Eida and Daemon: "He can absorb Shinjutsu, so be careful, you two! If the Shinjutsu on your bodies is absorbed by him, it will be trouble!"
Shibai Otsutsuki, surrounded in the center by the group, roared: "Damn it, damn it! I am Shibai Otsutsuki! I will kill you all!"
Eida shook her head: "No, you are not Shibai Otsutsuki."
Shibai Otsutsuki looked at Eida.
Eida said calmly: "At such a distance, you cannot block my Senrigan. I have already seen through your past!"
Daemon curled his lip: "Turns out he's a fake!"
"No, one cannot entirely say he is a fake!" After a pause, Eida explained: "He is a consciousness born from Shinjutsu. He thinks he is Shibai Otsutsuki, but in reality, he is just a consciousness that accidentally emerged from Shibai Otsutsuki's power!"
Naruto scratched his head: "What do you mean?"
Sasuke said: "Don't you even understand this? It's the literal meaning. This guy is a consciousness born from Shinjutsu, just like Black Zetsu, who was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki!"
Naruto asked: "So he was created by Shibai Otsutsuki?"
Naruto's question actually stumped everyone.
Let alone Sasuke, even Eida, who had seen through this Shibai Otsutsuki, could not answer this question for a moment.
The opponent was a consciousness born from Shinjutsu—this point was beyond doubt; the fact that he understood Shinjutsu so well was the best proof. But whether his birth was an accident or if there was another pusher behind the scenes, Eida could not distinguish.
Listening to everyone's discussion, the fake Shibai Otsutsuki was incomparably furious: "I am Shibai Otsutsuki! You bastards, how dare you slander me!"
Toneri realized: "No wonder the Leader did not take action this time. It seems the Leader had already seen through everything!"
Sasuke said: "It is truly pathetic that Orochimaru was actually utilized by a fellow like this!"
Shion then asked: "Hey, exactly who created you? Was it that Shibai Otsutsuki? Where is he hiding now? We cannot forgive him for doing such a thing!"
The fake Shibai Otsutsuki's eyes were blood-red: "You..."
Daemon hmph-ed: "What are you looking at? Daring to absorb our Shinjutsu... you are a dead man today!"
The fake Shibai Otsutsuki's expression froze, and his anger rapidly receded.
Just as Sasuke had judged earlier, after absorbing the Shinjutsu Conversion, his combat power had reached the Kekkei Mora level. Relying on the several types of Shinjutsu he mastered, his combat power was significantly stronger than ordinary Kekkei Mora like Kaguya Otsutsuki or Urashiki Otsutsuki.
But a Kekkei Mora cannot mindlessly crush a Six Paths level.
Kaguya Otsutsuki, a Kekkei Mora, was once defeated by the Sage of Six Paths brothers working together and sealed for a thousand years.
Therefore, although the current fake Shibai Otsutsuki possessed the strength of a Kekkei Mora, he simply had no chance of victory when facing the joint efforts of these six Six Paths level combatants: Shion, Sasuke, Naruto, Toneri, Eida, and Daemon.
"I can only retreat first..."
"I have Claw Mark; they cannot trap me!"
"But where should I retreat to?"
...
"Where else can I hide?"
Thoughts flashed through the mind of the fake Shibai Otsutsuki.
He realized that with the exposure of his identity and whereabouts, he no longer had the capital to continue hiding. Even if he successfully escaped now, he would still have nowhere to hide once the defense barrier covering the entire shinobi world was activated.
"Am I really going to die here? No, I am Shibai Otsutsuki! I am a God! How can I die at the hands of these natives!"
The fake Shibai Otsutsuki became frenzied.
Naruto asked: "What's wrong with him?"
Sasuke frowned: "He couldn't have gone crazy, right? Not a single guy mixed up with Orochimaru is normal!"
Shion instinctively took two steps back: "Oh no, I suddenly have a bad feeling!"
The others looked at Shion, their faces showing incomprehension.
In Shion's eyes, it seemed she saw a terrifying image, and her body unconsciously began to tremble: "It's... it's the Hegemon!"
Shion, who had fought against the two Hegemons of Pestilence and Procreation in the Hexagon World, was far more sensitive to the aura of a Hegemon than the others. Therefore, while the others were still ignorant, she had already smelled the scent of a Hegemon from the fake Shibai Otsutsuki.
As expected, a dark purple mist emanated from within the body of the fake Shibai Otsutsuki and rapidly enveloped his entire body.
Toneri shouted: "Everyone, get back!"
While shouting, he carried the stunned Shion away.
On the other side, Sasuke grabbed Naruto, who was attempting to attack, and activated his dojutsu to open a spatial door, saying to the siblings Eida and Daemon: "You guys go first!"
...
Hidden Stone Village, Tsuchikage Building.
Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage, who was gathering the Jonin of the Hidden Stone Village for a meeting to deal with the Research Institute's massive construction, was suddenly stunned. Subsequently, a large amount of dark purple mist emerged from within his body, wrapping him up.
"Tsuchikage-sama?"
The shinobi of the Hidden Stone Village looked at each other one by one.
Hidden Cloud Village.
The Fourth Raikage, who was cultivating in the practice field, had just put down his dumbbells when he suddenly froze.
Darui, who served as the Raikage's guard, saw this and asked: "Raikage-sama, you..."
Before he could finish his words, a dark purple mist overflowed from the Fourth Raikage's body, subsequently enveloping him.
Almost at the same moment.
Similar events were happening in the Hidden Mist Village and Hidden Sand Village; a large amount of dark purple mist suddenly emerged from many powerful shinobi, and subsequently, they were swallowed by this mist.
Undoubtedly, these were all methods hidden by the Hegemon of Terror within the shinobi world.
It lurked its power within the human heart, feeding on fear; as long as the fear in the target's heart reached a certain threshold, it could complete the control over the target.
Of course, ordinary shinobi were merely chess pieces it had laid down; its true target was the fake Shibai Otsutsuki.
When the fake Shibai Otsutsuki was forced into a desperate situation by Sasuke and the others, he fell completely into fear and ultimately became its puppet. After succeeding, it no longer hid, but directly activated the chess pieces it had long ago buried in various places across the shinobi world!
War broke out!
