“Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!” Madara looked up at Ishikawa in the sky, changing the hand seals he held and switching to a Fire Style ninjutsu for smaller targets.
“Fwoosh!” Superheated flames, almost white, shot out of Madara’s mouth like a torrent of fire needles, instantly piercing the surrounding air.
The space itself seemed to warp from the terrifying heat.
Ishikawa flew in mid-air.
He had run out of paper bombs, so he could no longer use explosions to move.
He could only brace himself for this Fire Style attack.
It’s fine.
The Edo Tensei body can take anything you throw at it, unless you’re using Yin-Yang Release.
The ninjas of the Allied Shinobi Forces reacted quickly.
A Water Style user spotted an opening and unleashed ninjutsu at Madara: “Water Style: Water Collision Waves!!” A stream of ninjas spat out rapid, high-pressure water jets from their mouths.
Like sharp blades, they fanned out and charged at Madara, who was looking up and had exposed a weakness.
Just then, Ishikawa finally heard the system’s voice and rejoiced.
But Madara’s Fire Style had already reached him at lightning speed.
Ishikawa could even feel his hair curling from the heat.
“Extraction successful!
Obtained: Edo Tensei · Uchiha Madara Character Trait: Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan (Improved).” As soon as the system’s voice faded, the pillar of fire from the Fire Style attack slammed into Ishikawa’s face and then erupted, completely engulfing him.
“Bang bang!” The scorching flames burned and exploded repeatedly.
Ishikawa became a giant fireball in the sky, not falling but instead being propelled higher by the force of Madara’s Fire Style.
And Madara, known as the “Legendary Shinobi,” was not so easily defeated.
His vast experience meant he surely realized his own opening.
This was his confidence in his own strength.
The moment Madara’s Fire Style hit Ishikawa, he reached out toward the Allied Forces, and blue flames instantly ignited.
“Susanoo!” Madara whispered.
He hadn’t noticed Ishikawa’s Edo Tensei.
Madara simply thought Ishikawa was lucky to have survived that kick.
Who would care about a slight nuisance they vaguely recognized?
“Hiss!” Something blue ripped through the yellow sand.
A deep blue, translucent skeleton erupted from the ground, instantly forming a protective shell around Madara’s body.
Innumerable things like light blue transparent ropes quickly wrapped around the skeleton, forming a giant, two-headed, four-armed upper body.
“Sizzle!!” The ninjas’ Water Style attacks couldn’t even break through the outer layer of Madara’s Susanoo, simply bouncing off with clashing sounds.
In Madara’s eyes, the three tomoe had transformed into Mangekyo patterns.
At the back of the Allied Shinobi Forces, Gaara, standing among the troops, controlled the sand to try and impede Madara’s movements.
He tilted his head and asked Naruto, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground next to him: “Are you ready yet, Naruto?” Two Shadow Clones stood beside Naruto.
Sitting cross-legged, he was also incredibly anxious.
The markings representing Sage Mode on his face were deepening.
“Just give me a little more time.” Meanwhile, Ishikawa finally fell from the sky, plunging headfirst into the sand.
Due to the clouds and dust, the sunlight was no longer blinding.
“Puke, splutter, gag-” Ishikawa pulled his head out of the sand, spitting it out continuously.
He then stuck out his sand-covered tongue and turned to look at Madara’s current state.
The power on his Susanoo arm had surged, and a laser-like giant sword appeared in the giant Susanoo’s hand.
Even as a half-body, its immense pressure made many ninjas tremble, unable to hold their weapons, instinctively retreating.
Ishikawa turned himself around, recalling the system voice he had just heard.
The system’s reward was extracted in real-time and automatically.
This meant Ishikawa’s eyes had already transformed into Mangekyo patterns.
Ishikawa touched his eyelids, feeling a cool power within his eyeballs.
It felt quite comfortable.
In the distance, under the blue sky.
“Whoosh— BANG!” Watching Madara wildly swing his Susanoo sword, attacking the helpless Allied Shinobi Forces, Ishikawa knew it was time for revenge.
He quickly strode forward a few steps.
Look, I’m going to sneak attack!
“Aaaah—!!!
Susanoo!!” Ishikawa roared, extending one hand towards Madara.
He stood not far behind Madara, attempting to transform into the complete Susanoo for a surprise attack.
A gust of wind blew, and it seemed like nothing had happened.
This left Ishikawa, who had struck a pose, incredibly awkward.
“Ummm…
cough, cough, Susanoo!” Ishikawa continued experimenting with how to use the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Meanwhile, the battle situation for the Fourth Division.
“Bang!!” “Aaaah!!!” Several people were sent flying, screaming.
The blue Susanoo’s greatsword swung through the crowd, dealing immense damage to the Allied Forces with every strike.
“Damn it!” Gaara gritted his teeth, spreading his hands to control the sand.
He continuously tried to entangle the Susanoo with his sand, but it naturally came loose with a slight struggle.
Beside him, Naruto had stood up, holding a giant Wind Style: Rasenshuriken.
Two clones stood by his side.
The Sage Mode markings on Naruto’s face were now clearly visible.
“Sorry, I’m finally done.
Everyone, get back!” Naruto raised his hand high.
The fierce wind chakra whipped up a strong gale, making his clothes flap noisily.
Tsuchikage Onoki also knew it was time.
He floated behind Gaara, placing his hands on his gourd and saying to Gaara: “Go, Kazekage!” [Earth Style: Earth-Stone Conversion Technique]!
The sand in Gaara’s gourd visibly lightened, making it easy to control.
The old man Onoki, with his beard completely white, told Gaara about the current situation: “I’ve also lightened the sand around us…” Gaara looked up at the floating sand, an idea forming in his mind: Now I can control a massive amount of sand and bombard his Susanoo, distracting Madara.
If Madara’s Susanoo, like Sasuke’s, cannot be broken from the outside.
Then I’ll use the sand beneath his feet!
With that thought, Gaara slowly spread his hands, calling out to Naruto to attack: “Naruto!” Naruto charged directly towards Madara, holding the giant Rasenshuriken: “Yeah!
Let’s go!” The sand around Gaara began to stir, gradually becoming like a surging tide, layer by layer, wave by wave.
Finally, it transformed into a sky-obscuring tsunami of sand, which directly slammed into Madara’s Susanoo!
“Boom!!!” However, the Susanoo remained completely unaffected, not even taking a step back.
Madara simply crossed his arms, showing no surprise.
Very well, next is the sand beneath his feet!
Gaara flicked his arm.
Inside the Susanoo, the sand beneath Madara’s feet rapidly bulged and wrapped around Madara, who hadn’t reacted, throwing him out of the Susanoo.
“Go!
Naruto!” Gaara shouted.
“Wind Style: Rasenshuriken!” Naruto’s pupils were the “one” shape of Mount Myōboku Sage Mode.
With a flick of his arm, he threw the Rasenshuriken directly at Madara.
“Boom—” A massive energy explosion formed a blue oval that pressed down onto the ground.
Dust and smoke billowed, covering the area.
The Rasenshuriken had hit Madara, but it seemed to have caused him no harm.
“Swoosh!” Madara broke through the smoke, dusted himself off, and then leaped far back.
His incredible speed stirred the air, and the dust trailed behind him.
“Clack.” Madara landed on a stone pillar, standing beside Mu.
At this moment, his eyes had transformed into Rinnegan, circling rings.
Madara had instinctively used the Rinnegan to absorb Naruto’s ninjutsu.
At the same time, he had gained some answers regarding the appearance of his Rinnegan.
“Your name is Kabuto, right?
What did you do to my body?” Madara turned to Mu and questioned him.
He finally began to value Kabuto’s worth.
This guy had managed to Edo Tensei the Rinnegan that he himself had given away.
He had only awakened the Rinnegan not long before his death.
Kabuto’s consciousness descended into Mu, and he replied to Madara in a slightly respectful tone: “I made your body surpass its prime.” Madara felt a surge of anger.
This ant, who couldn’t even decipher the stone tablet at the Naka Shrine, had managed to uncover the secrets of his body, which greatly annoyed him.
Madara spoke with irritation: “Don’t get me wrong, you didn’t create this power!” With that, Madara formed hand seals.
He looked down at the Allied Forces on the ground.
The chakra and pupil power within him surged rapidly.
Blue pupil power began to overflow, boosting Madara’s hair and clothes.
“Whoosh!” As pupil power continuously overflowed, two thick blue masses floated from Madara’s body, spinning nimbly in the air before suddenly merging.
Thus, the blue Susanoo materialized again, forming a half-body that seemed to be burning, with two heads and four arms, facing the crowd sideways.
Pupil power kept overflowing, forming undulating blue flames on the body outside the Susanoo, making it look incredibly eerie.
At this moment, Madara, with his two half-bodies merged into one Susanoo, formed three different hand seals with his three hands.
He was attempting to summon a giant meteor to utterly destroy this group of unending ants.
Just as Madara was focused on drawing the meteor, a massive dark shadow slowly enveloped Madara from behind.
Madara reacted quickly.
He swiftly canceled the meteor’s pull and controlled the Susanoo to turn back and prepare for defense.
He could sense an incredibly powerful pupil power behind him, not inferior to his own!
As he turned, a right hand slowly pulled back, charging up, while the left hand aimed at his milky white complete Susanoo.
It appeared before Madara’s eyes, and his expression turned to shock.
That’s right.
This massive dark shadow was Ishikawa’s complete Susanoo.
He was incredibly excited right now.
After countless experiments, he had finally learned to pilot a giant robot with his Mangekyo!
Madara wasn’t idle while Ishikawa charged up.
He knew his upper-half Susanoo wouldn’t be able to contend with the complete form.
So, while gradually increasing the size of his Susanoo, he swung his greatsword, preparing to defend.
“Crack crack…” Several weathered stones fell from the pillars, unable to withstand the growing Susanoo controlled by Madara.
In his excitement, Ishikawa saw Madara on the stone pillar preparing to transform into his complete Susanoo.
Ishikawa wouldn’t give him such an opportunity.
So, under the shocked gazes of the Allied Shinobi Forces, the white Susanoo power rose from the ground.
With a slight twist at the waist, he added more power to his fist, and then—with a deafening punch!
“BANG!!!!!” A colossal roar erupted on Madara’s Susanoo.
Struck by the punch, he was forced to halt the evolution of his complete Susanoo.
Madara’s face turned grim as he looked up at the crack on his Susanoo.
Then he looked at the shirtless man atop the milky white Susanoo opposite him.
It wasn’t just a familiar face!
It was this guy!
The white Susanoo, no mistake!
That annoying guy!!
Madara’s expression gradually contorted.
He remembered the terrible experiences he had with this man in the past.
Disgust welled up from within him as he attempted to evolve into his complete Susanoo on the spot.
However, Madara didn’t realize that the punch from earlier wasn’t the final result of his charge-up, but rather the opening bell for the war— “Hey, everyone, listen to the dragon’s roar!” Ishikawa’s Susanoo, utilizing the recoil force from the first punch, swung its left arm in a wide arc and quickly slammed into Madara, who was repairing his Susanoo: “ORA!” “BOOM!” Then, to Madara’s vexed and pained eyes, countless white fist shadows appeared in the air: “Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora!!!!” “What’s the point of swords for real men!
Fists are where it’s at!” Ishikawa stood within the pentagonal gem atop the Susanoo’s head, his face filled with the joy of revenge.
