The "Six Paths realm" is so far beyond ordinary shinobi that even Uchiha Madara right now—who only counts as halfway into that realm—stands worlds apart from everyone else.
Think back to canon: the moment Uchiha Obito stepped into the Six Paths state, he could instantly rip apart Hashirama and Tobirama Senju together, tear open the Four Red Yang Formation, and crush the Sage Art: Gate of the Great God that could suppress the Ten‑Tails. Even the "God of Shinobi," Hashirama, had to admit that Obito's power dwarfed his own.
That is what the Six Paths level means: a literal leap across dimensions, a height impossible to reach through "normal" training alone.
Madara's present Six Paths body is the same.
He did not arrive there orthodoxly; instead he forcibly filled his shortcomings by fusing the powers of Asura and Indra, brute forcing himself up to the Six Paths realm.
Madara's Rinnegan is itself a merger of Asura's and Indra's reincarnate powers, but that is only the entry threshold. The Rinnegan is merely one manifestation of Six Paths power; it is not the full realm—otherwise Nagato would already have been Six Paths.
Madara's solution was simple: keep merging Asura and Indra.
He is Indra's reincarnation.
He seized Hashirama's Asura‑chakra at the Valley of the End.
He had Black Zetsu secretly retrieve and preserve the physical remains of both Asura and Indra.
By uniting their spiritual and physical energies with his own—chakra and flesh—Madara force‑patched himself to something close to the Sage of Six Paths.
But even the combined Asura + Indra is still short of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's peak.
Asura possessed the Sage's body and the fragment of Six Paths power Hagoromo granted him (including the Nine‑Tails, for Asura once displayed a "Kurama Mode" like Naruto's). He was likely the first Nine‑Tails jinchūriki.
Indra was born with the Sage's eyes and was the first human to unlock the mysteries of chakra and ninjutsu—history's very first shinobi.
Fuse the two and you obtain a Sage's Eye + Sage's Body, awakening the Rinnegan plus a slice of Six Paths power and the Nine‑Tails' chakra—but you are still far from Hagoromo's zenith.
Hagoromo was strongest after the battle with Kaguya, when he became the Ten‑Tails' jinchūriki. From raw power alone, he may already have surpassed his mother at that point—though unlike Kaguya, he was not immortal.
Asura's power Newest update provided by novel✦fire.net
A portion of Six Paths chakra
Even the Nine‑Tails' might within his body
That is already an "over‑spec" existence for this ninja world.
Unfortunately for him… he met Chiyu.
Their first clash: Chiyu's Sage Art energy completely suppresses Six Paths Madara. A single Myōboku Sage Light Cannon smashes Madara deep into the mountains, the earth shattering and the sky trembling.
Madara, shocked and furious, relies on the immortality of his Edo‑Tensei body plus his twisted cells and Six Paths buffs—destroying him outright is nearly impossible.
I refuse to believe it!
I—Uchiha Madara—who have stepped into the Six Paths realm, will lose to you!
Other than Hashirama, no one can stand against me!"
Roaring, he soars up, battered but not truly hurt. In the next instant he detonates both Asura and Indra chakras, pushing his power to the limit.
A colossal fully‑manifested Nine‑Tails and a Perfect Susanoo materialize … then merge into a Nine‑Tails wearing Susanoo armor:
Yet the present attack eclipses the Valley of the End by ten—no, a hundred—times; Madara is practically a perfect Nine‑Tails jinchūriki, armed with Rinnegan eye‑power far beyond his living peak. The combined might shapes a god‑like demon towering between heaven and earth:
Madara brandishes this power, the air vibrating under its tyrannical aura.
"Six Paths—Susanoo: Tailed‑Beast Bomb!"
He thrusts Susanoo's chakra blade into Kurama's bijūdama, infuses it with Six Paths power, and unleashes a terror he once used against Hashirama—now magnified tenfold.
A pitch‑black sphere radiating annihilation lances toward Chiyu, a force no normal ninjutsu could hope to block.
Chiyu, however, shows no panic. Nodding slightly, he fuses his Yasaka Magatama Thunder with the Myōboku Sage Light Cannon—that is, Eternal Mangekyō power, Perfect Susanoo chakra, extreme Lightning Release, and the sages' nature energy—all knitted into one.
He simultaneously deploys the ultimate dōjutsu Amenotejikara, unfolding his Takamagahara divine domain for a kilometer around, seizing control over space and mass themselves.
Twisting space for supreme speed, amplifying mass for crushing force, he pushes the attack to its absolute apex:
Divine Thunder Sage‑Light Cannon!
The two attacks collide—unimaginable thunder echoes across the sky; dazzling light births a second sun. Mountain peaks pulverize, collapse, and churn; bolts of lightning rain down like divine judgment.
Obito flees into Kamui; Matatabi, shielded inside Takamagahara, is still aghast:
"What level of battle is this…? It's almost the Sage of Six Paths himself!"
Yet Madara's strike is utterly overwhelmed. Chiyu's blast pours onto him; Madara forms a massive Truth‑Seeking Orb barrier, but the boundless sage energy negates Yin‑Yang Release itself. The sphere is shattered; the beam punches a gaping hole through Madara's god‑like body, nearly tearing him in half. He crashes into a mountain, reduced to a bloody wreck, healing far too slowly to keep up.
Madara can scarcely believe he is being dominated despite all the power he wields.
Obito, pale in Kamui's exit, murmurs:
"Why…? How can that Uchiha Chiyu be so strong? Even Madara, who merged Asura and Indra, can't win?"
Hidden Black Zetsu is even more anxious: without Madara they cannot gather the Tailed Beasts, revive the Ten‑Tails, or resurrect Mother Kaguya. Asura and Indra's corpses are one‑of‑a‑kind; there is no second chance…
Madara, furious, hurls Truth‑Seeking Orbs to stall Chiyu, then casts Fire Release: Dust Concealment—both attack and smokescreen.
Chiyu, within Takamagahara, merely pinches space; the orbs shrink to specks, reverse direction, enlarge to mountain‑sized black spheres, and smash back toward Madara. Dust Concealment cannot blind someone with Chiyu's peerless vision.
Six titanic Truth‑Seeking Orbs, accelerated by space‑and‑mass control, hammer Madara, exploding mountains and burying him. Even Truth‑Seeking Orbs cannot erase his Edo body completely because his Six Paths power is "half‑baked"; nonetheless he crawls out, barely humanoid, regeneration lagging—he is at his limit.
For the first time Madara feels true dread; even Hashirama never made him feel this way.
Obito warps in to exfiltrate him:
"Madara, live to fight another day. We are not his match now."
Madara swallows his rage and agrees—Kamui spirals open… but Chiyu's Takamagahara overrides space itself, ironing Kamui's distortion flat like crumpled paper. Obito and Madara are forced out mid‑warp.
"Even Kamui can be broken…? Your Rinnegan truly wields the strongest eye‑power, Uchiha Chiyu."
Chiyu extends a hand. "Uchiha Madara, something about you has felt wrong from the start—this ends now."
At that instant a terrifying power erupts inside Madara's body—not his doing, but forced: the fused Asura and Indra chakra are awakening their own wills. While Madara was whole he could suppress them; after Chiyu's devastation he couldnot. Like Hashirama cells in Danzo, the borrowed power now turns poisonous: Asura and Indra begin to claw their way out, fighting each other endlessly, replaying their fated feud.
Obito, Zetsu, and even Chiyu are stunned. Madara realizes the double‑edged sword is cutting him down…
And in Chiyu's eyes, a still greater plan begins to take shape.
