****************
Colt appeared in front of Orochimaru like a ghost, following the Flying Thunder God technique.
Swish!
His right leg kicked out swiftly, and despite the Truth-Seeking Ball's automatic defense, it failed to stop the attack, leaving a massive hole in Orochimaru's chest.
Boom!
Orochimaru was sent flying, his Universal Pull interrupted mid-cast.
"Damn it!" Orochimaru cursed, feeling the burning pain on his face as he crashed into a mountain.
He was the second Sage of Six Paths! To be humiliated like this—what did it mean to kick someone in the face like that?
With a shake, the debris pinning him down was blasted away, and Orochimaru flew back into the air, ready for more.
"Yo, Sasuke, long time no see." Colt greeted him with a smile.
Sasuke nodded awkwardly, having just witnessed the battle between Colt and Hashirama.
Any desire to test himself against Colt vanished immediately.
"Oh right," Colt said, clapping his fist like he had just remembered something.
"I went on a mission a while ago and picked up a ninjutsu that would suit you. Never had the chance to give it to you—seems like the perfect time now."
"What ninjutsu?" Sasuke asked, intrigued.
If Colt had remembered it for him, it had to be something special.
Naruto and Jiraiya also leaned in, curious.
Colt activated his Sharingan and used an illusion to transfer the Shadow Mirror Body-Turning Technique from the Land of Demons to Sasuke.
"What's the use of this ninjutsu?" Sasuke asked, confused by its purpose.
Colt looked at him, then at Naruto.
"It can transform the user into what they desire… basically, it can even change your gender. You'd actually become a girl."
Sasuke nodded slowly, then froze.
"Wait, what?! What do you mean by that?!"
Colt shrugged innocently.
"You're the last of the Uchiha clan. I figured you could use it to find some girls and have them turn into your perfect match. What's the harm in that?"
Sasuke was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.
"Why did you look at Naruto just now? And why did you specifically mention it can change you into a girl?"
"Oh, that? You're overthinking it," Colt said with a grin.
"You—!" Sasuke clenched his fist, then sighed and let it go, figuring it might be worth adding to his jutsu library.
What if he needed it someday?
Just as they were chatting, Orochimaru flew back towards them, his face dark with frustration.
Colt, who had been casually talking and laughing, seemed completely unaffected by their battle.
Orochimaru couldn't let that go.
"If I had been more focused, I would've easily avoided your attack," Orochimaru muttered to himself, glaring at Colt.
Colt smiled, seemingly admiring Orochimaru.
"You've been a great tool, Orochimaru. I only gave you a little push, and look at where you've gotten. I secretly tasked you to study White Zetsus for various purposes, but you've exceeded expectations."
"You're calling me a tool? What does that even mean?"
Orochimaru frowned. Him? A tool?
Just then, his Truth-Seeking Balls sprang forward, forming into a sharp sword that shot toward Colt.
Boom!
Colt flicked a nearby Truth-Seeking Ball with his hand, then turned to Sasuke.
"You're not of much use here, so go find Kakashi-sensei and bring him to me."
Sasuke's face darkened.
"What do you mean, not of much use?!"
Still, after a bit of struggle, Sasuke flew away using Susanoo's wings, leaving the battle.
Orochimaru ignored Sasuke and kept his focus on Colt.
Even with his immense chakra, Orochimaru wouldn't dare to approach a Truth-Seeking Ball, yet Colt had now dealt with it twice without any apparent injury.
"What's going on?" Orochimaru whispered to himself, uneasy.
Raising his fingers, Orochimaru activated a Six Paths Technique without hand seals.
"Six Paths—Dragon Fire Bullet!"
Although the fire dragon wasn't massive in size, its sheer power far surpassed that of any S-rank jutsu.
Colt remained calm.
A Wooden Golem rose up in front of him, effortlessly blocking the attack.
Then, Colt vanished, reappearing behind Orochimaru and swinging a punch aimed at his head.
"I've got you this time!" Orochimaru spun around, thrusting his Truth-Seeking Ball Sword at Colt's fist.
But in the next instant, under Orochimaru's shocked gaze, the sword cracked and shattered.
Boom!
Colt's fist slammed into him, sending him tumbling to the ground, where he lay in a crumpled heap.
"Impossible! This is the power of the Six Paths! Why are you unscathed?!" Orochimaru shouted, his voice trembling from the mental shock more than the physical pain.
Before he became the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki, he couldn't defeat Colt.
Even now, as the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki, he still couldn't win.
Was there something wrong with this person?
Seeing Orochimaru's confused expression, Colt shook his head.
"The Truth-Seeking Balls? They're like marbles to someone with my abilities now."
Orochimaru gritted his teeth.
Colt's words were laced with arrogance, but there was nothing Orochimaru could do to refute them.
"Brace yourself; it's going to hurt a bit." Colt's figure blurred, and before Orochimaru could react, he was hit with a powerful uppercut that sent him flying again.
Colt pursued him into the sky, delivering a flurry of blows, each one more powerful than the last.
Orochimaru realized, to his horror, that even with the power of the Six Paths, his speed and strength were no match for Colt.
He was being treated like a sandbag, pummeled without mercy.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" Colt murmured, frustrated.
He had been trying to force the Ten-Tails out of Orochimaru's body with his punches, but despite landing hundreds of blows, there was still no sign of it.
Switching tactics, Colt aimed a devastating punch at Orochimaru's abdomen.
WHAM!
The softest part of Orochimaru's body took the full impact.
His eyes bulged as blood from all his orifices, and the chakra of the Ten Tails inside him began to stir.
"Finally!" Colt's face lit up with joy, and he increased the force of his attacks.
At last, Orochimaru's body began to twist and warp.
The Ten-Tails, in its form, broke free from the seal and was expelled from Orochimaru's body!

****************
In the distance, two towering 'Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands' statues stood firm, watching over the battlefield.
Sealed by the Torii Seal, Hashirama and Madara who were relocated to the ground, were still able to observe the clash between Orochimaru and Colt from there. Because the ground they were on was elevated, they could easily watch over.
"How did this kid get so strong? His growth is insane!" Hashirama lay on the ground, propping his chin up with one hand, staring at the fight with mild curiosity as Orochimaru was relentlessly beaten by Colt.
"Is this really the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki? It doesn't seem much stronger than the two of us were when we were fighting him."
"Hey, now, you know that's not true"
Hashirama poked Madara beside him, feeling oddly sympathetic toward Orochimaru.
Although he somewhat agreed… The poor guy was getting demolished.
Although their Chakra was sealed by the Torii Seal they could still move slightly.
Madara clenched his teeth, annoyed.
He wished he could yank out Orochimaru's eyes himself.
Useless!
'To get beaten like this after becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki... disgraceful! If it were me, I wouldn't have fallen so easily.'
'Still... Colt's strength is something even I should be wary of.'
However, Madara was confident that if he became the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, he would defeat Colt easily.
His [Rinnegan] held a terrifying power that only its true host could fully wield.
"Madara, it seems like you're hiding something from me." Hashirama gave him a curious look.
Madara turned his head away.
"What would I be hiding? We're both sealed. There's nothing left that I can do."
"Oh, maybe I'm overthinking it," Hashirama mused before the two of them resumed watching Orochimaru get pummeled while Madara silently cursed.
'Where is that useless Black Zetsu? Hasn't he found Obito yet?'
Deep underground, Black Zetsu was indeed helpless.
Obito had vanished since he entered the Kamui dimension, and being partly made of White Zetsu, Black Zetsu couldn't risk dying like this.
He still needed to lurk in the shadows, eyeing the Ten-Tails sealed within Orochimaru.
However, the real problem wasn't Obito's [Rinnegan] anymore.
It was Colt.
Watching Orochimaru being thrown around like a rag doll, Black Zetsu couldn't help but feel dazed.
'Even if Madara is resurrected, could he really deal with this?'
But Black Zetsu had no choice.
The plan had to proceed.
This was the closest they had come to reviving his mother.
Meanwhile, with the separation from the Ten-Tails, Orochimaru's strength rapidly waned.
The symbols of the Sage of Six Paths faded one by one, his Tomoe-patterned robes dissipating.
His hair and complexion returned to normal, and the Gedo Statue, once divided, fused back within Orochimaru, restoring its original form.
The eight-tailed beasts were expelled from its stomach, freed from the Rinnegan's restraint.
"It's finally over," Colt muttered, picking up Orochimaru like he was a mere rag.
"You… how are you this strong?" Orochimaru, bloodied and bruised, weakly opened his swollen eyes and looked at Colt with disbelief.
"Why, you ask?" Colt pondered for a moment.
"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I've sent Shadow Clones to the Konoha Hospital every day for over ten years to heal and save people?"
Orochimaru blinked, utterly speechless.
What was this lunatic talking about?
But Colt didn't explain.
"Colt!"
Jiraiya and Naruto finally caught up to them.
"Tch..." Jiraiya sighed, looking at Orochimaru, who was now completely defenseless.
"After today, the name of the Sannin may no longer carry any meaning."
"Colt, what should we do about this Gedo Statue?" Naruto asked, pointing to the uncontrollable Ten-Tails, which had begun transforming into a massive tree in the distance.
"Naruto, isn't today your birthday?"
Colt was silent for a bit before he said.
Naruto blinked, then smacked his forehead. "That's right! I just turned seventeen!"
He felt a wave of warmth in his chest—Colt had remembered his birthday, even in the middle of all this chaos.
"Do you want a birthday present?" Colt asked nonchalantly.
Naruto was a bit taken aback. "Uh, Colt, now doesn't really seem like the time, don't you think?"
Still, curiosity got the better of him.
What kind of gift could Colt possibly give him in a situation like this?
"No, now is the perfect time." Colt placed Orochimaru on the ground and glanced at his [Rinnegan].
"Heh, heh, heh," Orochimaru chuckled weakly.
"Are you after the Rinnegan too?"
"No." Colt immediately denied it.
"You think I'd want to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki? No matter how strong someone is, they can't escape the chains of mortality."
Orochimaru's eyes widened in realization, his voice filled with a mix of admiration and excitement.
"Colt, if there's anyone who can truly control the Ten-Tails, it's you, isn't it?"
Jiraiya's face tensed, his gaze locking onto Colt as if trying to understand his true intentions.
Colt shook his head with a smile.
"You're half right. Like everyone else, I want to live longer. But I don't need the Ten-Tails for that."
He was already a being composed of divine tree energy—why would he need such a crude beast?
He was about to explain to Naruto about his gift when…
"Obito!" Naruto suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone turned to see Obito standing atop the Gedo Statue.
The Gedo Statue's chains shot out, pulling the eight-tailed beasts back into its belly before they could escape.
"I've finally found my opportunity..." Obito's face was emotionless, the gaping hole in his chest a gruesome sight.
Sasuke's earlier sneak attack had caught him off guard but had ultimately helped him.
Madara had placed a seal on his heart to prevent him from going out of control. Obito had been waiting for an opportunity to destroy his heart and then become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, allowing him to regenerate a new one.
However, Orochimaru's sudden intervention had complicated matters.
Forced to retreat to the Kamui dimension, he'd barely survived by consuming the Hashirama cells in White Zetsu's body.
But now, he finally had his chance.
"Rin, I'll be with you soon."
Obito began weaving hand signs, preparing to absorb the Ten-Tails and become its Jinchūriki, intending to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But just as he was about to complete the final seal, a black liquid suddenly covered half his body!
