The sky was getting dark.
“BOOM!!!
CRASH!!” A huge cloud of mist rose from the ground filled with wooden poles.
Madara slashed an opening in the flowing curtain of water with the dual blades of his Susano’o.
The sword tip, attached with high-temperature blue chakra, instantly evaporated the remaining moisture.
The reaction of the Five Kage was swift.
They immediately attacked the exposed Susano’o through the gap in the water curtain.
“Hah!” Gaara swung his right arm, sending a large amount of sand charging straight at the Susano’o in front of him, forming two massive sand waves like rushing currents.
Sand also poured from the gourd on his back, enveloping the allied ninja forces as they rapidly retreated.
“WHOOSH—BOOM!” It crashed hard against the base of Madara’s Susano’o, yellow sand scattering and splashing everywhere.
But it was useless; Gaara’s attack hadn’t even made the Susano’o take a single step back.
Madara looked displeased, his pair of pale purple Rinnegan staring at the Five Kage.
He then controlled Susano’o to raise its arms high in the churning sand and extend a giant blade.
“CRASH!!!” Then he brought it down heavily, chopping into the sand.
Countless grains of sand exploded upwards, obscuring Madara’s vision.
He mindlessly waved his hand and found Gaara’s figure above him.
The other four Kage also flew into the air, following Gaara.
They each stood on a sand platform, controlled by Gaara, allowing them to fight in the air.
Gaara crossed his hands and then abruptly flung them outwards.
“WHOOSH—” Instantly, a flood of sand surged forward, clustering around Madara’s Susano’o.
It climbed the steaming blue chakra, gradually forming huge petals, as if to seal him inside a pyramid.
This was his domain, after all.
Gaara clenched his hands in the air, staring intently at the pyramid that had taken shape before him.
He hadn’t expected Madara to be sealed so easily.
The four Kage stood nearby, listening to Onoki’s planned strategy, with Gaara taking the initial brunt of Madara’s assault.
Nearby, under a stone golem, Ishikawa was blankly looking up at the rock that was gradually cracking.
He was thinking about what to say, as his cheat, unlike Madara’s Ninjutsu or bloodline, was his own dialogue system.
Anyway, in the original story, the Five Kage could hold off Madara for a while, and at worst, they wouldn’t die, so he’d let them play for now.
He was tired anyway, and it would be nice to rest for a bit.
“Alright!
I got it!” The Raikage whispered into Onoki’s ear, then nodded at him, indicating he fully understood the plan.
“ZINGS!
ZINGS!
ZINGS!
BANG!!” Several beams of light seeped out from the pyramid, a blue chakra piercing straight through the sand seal.
The next moment, Susano’o spread its arms, breaking free from the pyramid’s confines.
Gaara continued to use sand to disrupt Madara’s movements.
Onoki, watching Susano’o hack at the sand defenses, prompted Terumi Mei without looking back: “Mizukage!” Terumi Mei also focused on Madara.
Hearing Onoki’s attack command, she quickly formed three hand seals and leaned back slightly: “Water Style: Hidden Mist Jutsu!” “SIZZLE—” A large amount of white mist spewed from Terumi Mei’s mouth, quickly spreading throughout the entire arena, even enveloping the distant Allied Forces who had already fled.
The outside world was completely invisible.
Ishikawa crawled out from a crack in the rocks and looked around.
He could clearly see only a lightning-flashing Raikage and a massive Susano’o not far away.
The next moment, the arc-wreathed Raikage vanished from his spot!
Ishikawa squinted, recalling the current storyline.
If Onoki had just applied the Light-Weighted Rock Jutsu to the Raikage, then Mu…
was still near Madara, right?
As expected, Mu suddenly leaped from some unknown location to Madara’s front and was momentarily stunned by the three Kage standing there.
Huh?
Where were the Raikage and Tsuchikage?
Whoosh!
The Tsuchikage, perched on the Raikage’s back, suddenly appeared before Mu.
The Tsuchikage had applied the Light-Weighted Rock Jutsu to the Raikage, increasing his speed to a point invisible to the naked eye.
“BANG!!!” Wrapped in lightning, with blue chakra swirling around him, forming a lightning armor shield that acted as a counter-attack, Ai threw a sudden uppercut to Mu’s abdomen.
Ah, Mu appeared, Mu got hit, Mu took flight— WHOOSH— Mu, who had just shaken off an allied squad and returned to Madara’s side, was once again sent flying a great distance, tumbling through the air several times before disappearing into the thick mist.
At this moment, Ishikawa, who had been watching Mu tumble in the sky, nonchalantly unleashed a Ninjutsu aimed at him.
“Wood Release: Wood Dragon Jutsu.” Instantly, a wooden dragon slowly emerged its head from a thick nearby tree trunk and then charged towards Mu.
As he saw the wooden dragon bite onto Mu, Ishikawa suddenly smacked his head.
He remembered another line for Madara.
He wondered what Madara even had on him anymore to extract.
Well, he’d try to extract his bone marrow today.
Afterwards, Mu was pitifully brought back by the wooden dragon, and in turn, Ishikawa pinned him to the ground with two black rods, rendering him immobile.
Ishikawa stood up, dusted himself off, his weary eyes looking towards the mist-filled battlefield.
The mist seemed specifically designed to block the Rinnegan’s vision.
“Earth Style: Super Weighted Rock Jutsu!” The Tsuchikage was on the Raikage’s back.
In the instant Raikage teleported to Madara’s side, he added a gravity buff to the Raikage, and the latter instantly poured all his chakra, even that used to maintain his lightning armor, into his arm.
“BOOM!!!!” A punch shot out, a massive pillar of blue chakra piercing straight through Madara’s Susano’o.
The semi-transparent skeleton gradually fractured under the immense force and chakra impact, disintegrating into pieces.
The Susano’o was pushed back dozens of meters and collapsed as it scraped against the ground, kicking up clouds of yellow sand.
Inside the Susano’o, Madara showed a surprised expression for the first time.
Only Hashirama could have shattered his Susano’o like this, and perhaps a second person.
However, this was only the second form of Susano’o.
The situation on other battlefields was also drawing to a close.
In the command center, a ninja from the communication unit, whose head was connected to a transmission device, relayed the intel: “Third unit, only two Edo Tensei remain.
Of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, only Hozuki Mangetsu is left.” In the battlefield at the center of the forest, a clearing had already been blasted out.
Guy and Kakashi, carrying Kubikiribōchō, stood back to back, surrounded by a horde of White Zetsu.
And standing not far away was Hozuki Mangetsu, a handsome young boy with short white hair.
“I’m getting impatient fighting them for so long,” Guy said.
“Hmm,” Kakashi replied.
Then the two charged towards the White Zetsu.
—— On the battlefield between Naruto and the six Jinchuriki.
Naruto, now transformed into Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, stood atop Gyuki’s head.
Before him were five Edo Tensei Jinchuriki who had transformed into their Tailed Beast forms.
At this moment, Guy and Kakashi were also heading towards Naruto, having dealt with the last of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
—— Back to Ishikawa.
Onoki was controlling a rock golem, stomping step by step towards Madara, whose Susano’o had dispersed.
Madara looked up at Onoki and the Raikage perched on the rock, clasped his hands together, preparing to release Wood Style Ninjutsu: “Wood Release: Forest Creation…” Ishikawa crouched slightly, gathering power in his legs.
He saw his chance!
Then he violently pushed off towards Madara!
WHOOSH!
WHOOSH!
“Hey, hold on.” SLAP!
In an instant, Ishikawa teleported from beside Mu to directly in front of Madara, and with his body sideways, he grabbed Madara’s clasped hands with his right hand, blocking him from Onoki and the Raikage.
Merely controlling chakra and combining it with the Edo Tensei body.
This was the third time Madara’s Forest Creation had been interrupted.
Madara’s expression began to unravel.
He now wanted to engage Ishikawa in hand-to-hand combat without using Ninjutsu.
“Which adult gets angry at a child.” Ishikawa, holding Madara’s clasped hands, tilted his head and looked at Madara from the side, ignoring the killing intent on his face, and said with a smile.
“Right?” “Ding!
Acquired the character’s line Edo Tensei·Uchiha Madara…”
