<div> "The target has been successfully imprisoned. Calculating energy medium…"
 "Calculation in progress… Calculation complete. Redefining the source of energy!"
 "The energy is too vast to be redefined. The energy is too vast to be redefined!"
 "Redefining target… Kaguya Ōtsutsuki!"
 "Using energy and chakra—definition complete. Target gene code is being rewritten."
 "Rewriting complete. Separating harmful energy… Separating harmful energy…"
 "Separation progress… 1%… 8%… 14%…"
 Kaguya couldn't believe that Orochimaru's power of the Six Paths could restrain her. But inside Orochimaru's mind, these system notifications kept echoing.
 From an outsider's perspective, what they saw was a blue energy barrier bursting out from Orochimaru's body, forcibly restraining Kaguya.
 Golden runes shimmered across the blue energy barrier. These runes had appeared after Orochimaru pulled chakra from Kaguya's mouth.
 "This is… what?"
 Standing on Susanoo's palm, Nonō was stunned at the sight of the energy barrier covered in intricate runes.
<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
<div></div>
</div> She had never seen anything like it before.
 Tsunade, standing beside her, was equally perplexed. "It looks like… a sealing technique?"
 Jiraiya furrowed his brows. "It does resemble a sealing technique, but… is it a confinement-type seal?"
 Jiraiya was knowledgeable in many sealing techniques, and the moment he saw Orochimaru's technique, he immediately recognized its nature.
 However, he was still confused.
 How had Orochimaru performed such a sealing technique?
 Had he activated the seal… through a kiss?
 Jiraiya's imagination was running wild, leaving him utterly baffled.
 But in reality, Orochimaru hadn't relied on a kiss to cast the seal. Rather, it was the biological engine produced by his system.
 This biological engine could overturn the law of conservation of energy, redefine or rewrite matter itself!
 By using the power of the Six Paths as an energy drive, it could rewrite the structure of a target in a short span of time.
 Once analyzed and redefined, every cell in the target's body would cease to belong to them.
 This was a new power born from the fusion of ninjutsu and technology!
 Although still in the research phase and incapable of analyzing or redefining higher-dimensional beings, any individual who relied on chakra would be unable to escape the fate of being rewritten.
 And the one who developed this technology… was none other than Orochimaru, who had also attained the power of the Six Paths.
 He had long since analyzed and modified the Truth-Seeking Orbs, the Tailed Beasts, and the Six Paths chakra itself—conducting countless system calculations and research into senjutsu, chakra, and energy.
 This was why he had such confidence when facing Madara and even Kaguya herself.
 Of course, the reason he had kissed Kaguya was merely to create a brief lapse in her mental defenses, allowing the biological engine to analyze her genetic code without resistance!
 "The separation progress is at 100%. Harmful energy has been fully separated! Beginning decomposition!"
 "Warning! Warning! The target possesses immense power! Energy will forcibly break free in five seconds!"
 "Warning! Warning! The target possesses immense power! Sealing energy will forcibly break free in four seconds!"
 "Warning! Warning…"
 "The seal is lifted!"
 Buzz!
 The blue barrier covered in golden runes vanished instantly.
 Kaguya immediately regained her mobility!
 Meanwhile, Orochimaru now held an energy block—akin to a space storage device—in his hand.
 Inside it was a swirling mass of chakra, ten times more violent than a normal Tailed Beast's chakra.
 Without hesitation, Orochimaru flickered away from Kaguya and threw the energy block into another dimension.
 "You… what did you do to me?"
 Kaguya, who had always exuded absolute power was actually out of breath at this moment.
 A seal?
 She had clearly sensed the sealing power just now.
 But she had no idea how she had been sealed nor how she had been restrained.
 Sealing techniques were indeed a means by which the weak could defeat the strong.
 However, to use a sealing technique, one typically needed to prepare a seal in advance.
 Even if pre-preparation wasn't required, the user at least had to physically come into contact with the target.
<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
<div></div>
</div> Yet Orochimaru had managed to imprison her before even getting close to her?!
 Hearing Kaguya's question, Orochimaru curled his lips into a smirk.
 "It's nothing… I simply separated the power that was influencing your will."
 "The power influencing my will?"
 "Indeed," Orochimaru replied. "Based on my research, while the God Tree and its chakra fruit contain immense power, they also possess their own will—an extremely aggressive consciousness."
 "This is why Hagoromo's descendants, those who inherit the power of the chakra fruit, tend to lose control once that power is activated."
 "This is why those with the Rinnegan and Sharingan are prone to personality changes."
 Orochimaru's tone remained calm as he explained.
 At first, he had believed that the Uchiha clan's psychological instability stemmed from their inability to handle their own immense mental power.
 But… after obtaining the power of the Six Paths himself, he had realized that this wasn't entirely true.
 It was well known that Mokuton could suppress the power of dōjutsu, and that the power of the God Tree could suppress the power of the chakra fruit.
 However, the real reason why people with powerful dōjutsu became battle-hungry and obsessed with power.
 Was because of the evil energy hidden within the chakra fruit.
 Because there were two distinct types of spiritual energy—one gentle, the other aggressive.
 Ninjas influenced by gentle spiritual energy turned out like the First Hokage and Naruto.
 No matter how much the villagers mistreated them, they still loved and protected them as if it were their first love.
 No matter what setbacks they endured, they would always remain hopeful, kind, and peace-loving.
 On the other hand… ninjas influenced by aggressive spiritual energy needed no explanation.
 Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Sasuke were the perfect examples.
 After acquiring the power of the Six Paths, Orochimaru had spent considerable time researching how to separate these two types of consciousness.
 Because for him.
 He had no desire to become a warmonger like Madara.
 Nor did he want to become a soft-hearted fool like Hashirama.
 Thus, what had just transpired was the result of that research.
 Under normal circumstances, Kaguya's spatial abilities were so powerful that Orochimaru's space confinement should not have been able to restrain her.
 But Orochimaru had already tested it.
 By combining the biological engine with the power of the Six Paths, he could temporarily suppress even space itself.
 For an instant, even Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had been rendered helpless.
 Even if it was only for five seconds.
 That was more than enough time for him to get close and place a sealing confinement on her.
 For Kaguya who had never encountered sealing techniques before, this was the most effective way to neutralize her.
 Sealing was far easier to use against her than even the power of the Six Paths.
 Kaguya should have immediately retaliated upon hearing Orochimaru's explanation.
 However… as she raised her hand.
 She found that she suddenly lacked the motivation to attack.
 And, strangely enough…
 A thought surfaced in her mind.
 Why am I even fighting him?
<div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
<div></div>
</div> "It seems to be working."
 Seeing Kaguya's slightly dazed expression, Orochimaru's smirk deepened.
 He spoke in a slow, guiding tone.
 "You've already realized it, haven't you?"
 "If I had truly intended to seal you just now… you wouldn't still be standing here."
 "So… lay down your weapons."
 "This battle between us… is meaningless."
 (To be continued.)
