“Extraction successful!
Acquired Uchiha Madara Edo Tensei enhanced character traits: Wood Release Kekkei Genkai and mastery of all Wood Release Ninjutsu.
(Enhanced) One pair of Rinnegan.
(Enhanced).” The meteor continued to accelerate downwards.
Ishikawa’s Susanoo was completely unable to extend under such immense atmospheric pressure.
Hearing the system’s voice, he chose to completely disperse the Susanoo.
The white pupil power flames turned into willow catkins and scattered, leaving him exposed to the powerful airflow.
“Whoosh—” Ishikawa was instantly crushed into fragments, scattering like slips of paper.
But he scattered into pieces with a smile, because having the Rinnegan meant he had also mastered Yin-Yang Release.
He could also use Black Receivers now.
No need to be afraid of Madara anymore.
Bring it on, who’s afraid of who, let’s stab each other!
The next moment, paper-like white fragments flew everywhere, gathering directly above Heavenly Celestial Destruction Star, forming a white paper figure in a squatting posture.
As soon as the figure was fully formed, it gradually began to show color, finally taking the shape of a young boy with a ponytail, wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and slippers.
The sky above the meteor was not dark but very bright.
Without the obstruction of thick clouds, the scorching sun shone on Ishikawa again.
“If I had known that recreating the whole thing would bring back my clothes, I wouldn’t have fought shirtless.” Ishikawa mumbled, supporting himself on the upper part of the meteor with one hand, using a crude method to attach himself with Chakra.
One leg was straightened in a squat, maintaining his balance.
At the same time, he also discovered the drawback of the Edo Tensei body: It was really too fragile, like it was made of paper.
No, it was made of paper.
He even felt like a single punch could make a hole in him.
Even though it was immortal, this papery feeling made him extremely unhappy.
Then, sensing the related Wood Release Ninjutsu records and cultivation experience appearing in his mind, he slowly took his hands off the meteor’s surface and stood up.
Chakra attached to the soles of his feet, Ishikawa tried to form hand signs… What hand signs?
The cultivation manual didn’t mention how many hand seals Wood Release required.
The whole text just said to bring hands together, or stack hands.
Seriously, are they not human?
“Smack!” Ishikawa brought his hands together, formed a seal, and then thrust it towards his back left, in the direction of Uchiha Madara’s Susanoo.
With the blue sky overhead, the immense amount of Chakra in his body instantly connected with the meteor beneath his feet.
Yang Release Chakra continuously activated the vitality of inanimate objects.
“Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!” Thump!
Several, dozens, hundreds of huge, thick green tree trunks sprang from the meteor’s surface like vines, tearing apart the hard rock above, causing the meteor’s surface to crack inch by inch.
Dust was kicked up immediately, and everything in front of him became blurry again.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Tree trunks also emerged from the bottom of the meteor.
They continuously extended and expanded until they touched the ground, and then plunged into the yellow sand below, stabilizing the constantly descending meteor.
Huge dust clouds swirled up, and a powerful wind blew from the bottom of the meteor.
The allied ninja below couldn’t help but cover their heads with their arms.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!
The tree trunks controlled by Ishikawa rapidly surged towards Uchiha Madara.
The giant green trees filled his vision, rolling forward like a torrent, attempting to directly entangle him.
On the other side, in the command center.
Nara Shikaku leaned weakly on the table.
Facing the huge meteor and Susanoo, he didn’t know how to get the Fourth Division to escape.
He could only state the conclusion he had reached from the beginning: “Undoubtedly, this was Madara’s doing.” Then he turned around and looked at Tsunade, who was sitting there with an angry expression.
His voice trembled slightly as he spoke: “Tsunade-sama, if this continues…” Tsunade, wearing a light green coat and with light blonde hair, looked up.
Her brown eyes were fixed forward with determination: “I’ll go myself!” On the Fourth Division battlefield, shrouded in dust, countless giant tree trunks crisscrossed the ground, forming a new surface.
Looking back, the source of this ground was a towering tree that passed through two meteors.
Its branches even had fragments of Heavenly Celestial Destruction Star interspersed among them.
Because the spread of trees on the ground was slow, Ishikawa had focused all his energy on clashing with Uchiha Madara.
The ninja were not harmed by the Wood Release.
Meanwhile, Mu, who had already dodged to the side, was dumbfounded.
Kabuto, watching the battlefield from Mu’s perspective, was even more confused.
“This is the power of the Sage of Six Paths…
No, this isn’t a jutsu released by Madara?!” He was so shocked that he started talking to himself.
His gaze swept rapidly, and he soon found traces of Ishikawa.
At this moment, he was so focused that he didn’t even notice two Susanoo, one red and one purple, clashing in the nearby forest.
“…What’s going on?
Who is this guy?
Why does he have the Rinnegan…
and an Edo Tensei body…” Why hadn’t he discovered this person when he investigated every previous powerful figure?
Because Ishikawa hadn’t fully integrated with the Ninjutsu mastery experience in his mind yet, he was hit by one of the branches he created while releasing Wood Release.
His recovery into paper fragments was witnessed by Kabuto.
Kabuto even wanted to control Mu’s body and unleash a Dust Release on Ishikawa.
This person’s existence was too disruptive to his plans.
An unknown Uchiha powerhouse.
If he’s from this era, does that mean every era has a successor to the Sage of Six Paths?
However, after discovering that he couldn’t use Dust Release in his split state, he could only silently conceal himself and prepare to thoroughly investigate this person he had never discovered before.
“What a nostalgic scene.
Finally deciding to use Wood Release.” Madara became excited for a rare moment.
He saw the trees growing wildly towards him and the ground transformed into a Wood Release spectacle.
He seemed to recall the scenes from his battles with Hashirama.
The next moment, Madara seemed to think of something.
He dispelled his Susanoo, leaving only a section of his spine and extending ribs to protect himself.
He pressed his hand into the air above the ground: “Summoning Technique!” Several incantations spread rapidly from Madara’s hand.
This was the Summoning Technique used to summon the Nine-Tails back then.
Madara wanted to know if the Nine-Tails had been recaptured.
As he made the hand seals, Naruto, who had been looking up from the ground, suddenly trembled and fell to the ground clutching his stomach in pain.
“My stomach…
feels so hot.” Naruto’s perspective instantly shifted to the space inside his body where the Nine-Tails was sealed.
He collapsed in front of the giant wooden prison gate, supporting himself with his hand in the water.
The huge Nine-Tails stared wide-eyed and bared its teeth, looking upwards at Naruto’s body.
It felt a power summoning it.
The Nine-Tails’ face and body trembled due to tightened muscles: “This power calling me…
is it Madara?” Mu also appeared beside Madara at the appropriate time, following him as he leaped away from Ishikawa’s Wood Release: “The Nine-Tails is currently still within the Jinchuriki.
This battle is being fought to recapture the Nine-Tails.” Saying this, Mu turned his head towards Naruto, who was sitting on the ground, sweating profusely and clutching his stomach in pain: “See, it’s him.” Madara merely glanced at Naruto and ignored him.
This was because the Wood Release controlled by Ishikawa was everywhere.
Even if he retreated, he would be hit by branches rising from the ground.
No time for further chat.
He had to deal with this guy who wanted to fight him one-on-one.
Madara’s Susanoo instantly extended an arm, cutting off the approaching thick tree vines, and then used the arm’s strength to pole vault to the side.
At this point, all the trees had formed a circular shape, enclosing Madara in a giant wooden ball.
The densely packed trees even blocked out the sunlight.
Madara formed hand seals, and the fourth form of Susanoo quickly enveloped him: “Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!” A huge flame was spat out from its mouth by Susanoo.
Upon hitting the ground, it expanded further, its range directly encompassing all the Wood Release trees that Madara was facing.
“Bang—” The surrounding environment lit up instantly.
Since he couldn’t directly attack Ishikawa behind the densely packed trees, Madara decided to set the mountain on fire first, breaking through this layer of Wood Release encirclement.
The fire would also hinder Ishikawa from using Wood Release again.
“Next…” Madara saw Ishikawa leaping from Heavenly Celestial Destruction Star through the hole burned by Fire Release.
