Chapter 321:
The power of the Six Paths refers to possessing abilities on the same level as the Sage of Six Paths.
For instance, by absorbing all the tailed beasts into one's body, one can achieve the power of the Six Paths.
Another way is by inheriting the Sage's lineage and awakening the dormant potential within one's body.
Currently, these are the two main methods to obtain the power of the Six Paths.
When one gains the power of the Six Paths, they can wield Truth-Seeking Orbs and utilize the Yin-Yang Release technique. The black rods used by Nagato, for example, are products of Yin-Yang Release.
In terms of form and functionality, the Truth-Seeking Orbs are far more advanced than the black rods created by Yin-Yang Release.
The Truth-Seeking Orbs can block an opponent's chakra and transform into various shapes for attack or defense. In the original story, Naruto used a Truth-Seeking Orb to block one of Sasuke's Susanoo attacks.
Moreover, individuals without the power of the Six Paths cannot touch the black substance of the Truth-Seeking Orbs; otherwise, their chakra will be blocked, rendering them immobile.
Just how strong are the blocking abilities of the Truth-Seeking Orbs and black rods?
