[When Madara called her a weak woman, Tsunade got furious. She formed hand seals, and a purple light glowed on her forehead. At the same time, black markings spread across her body. Then, with one punch, she shattered Madara's Susanoo.]
[At that moment, Madara realized he might have underestimated her. After all, this woman was Hashirama's own granddaughter. Out of respect for Hashirama, he decided to take things more seriously.]
[Madara: Fire Style - Majestic Destroyer Flame]
[Unfortunately, that massive Fire Style jutsu was countered by Mei Terumi using Water Style. At the same time, Ōnoki and A also attacked Madara from behind. With Tsunade's monster-strength kick added in, his Susanoo was destroyed, and Madara was sent flying.]
[Madara: Fine, I admit it. You're definitely not a weak woman. But compared to Hashirama, you're still far behind.]
[Tsunade seized the moment and threw another punch, directly smashing Madara's body. That meant they could now seal the Edo Tensei reanimated ninja.]
"Phew~ So Uchiha Madara isn't that unbeatable after all, hahaha."
Looking at the light screen showing Madara about to be sealed, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, finally relaxed.
As the granddaughter of the jutsu's creator, Tsunade knew a fair bit about Edo Tensei.
She understood that once a reanimated body was destroyed, the person couldn't fight anymore.
As long as they took this chance, they could completely seal Uchiha Madara.
If they could take down Madara, then the Fourth Great Ninja War would truly be won.
Feeling great, she poured herself another cup of sake and happily started drinking.
But the moment the drink entered her mouth, before she could even swallow—
She saw what happened next on the screen, and immediately spat her drink out.
"Cough cough cough~"
"What's going on? The seal has no effect on Reanimated Madara?"
"Heh, you think you can seal me? How naive."
Since the barrier started affecting him, Madara's smile hadn't stopped.
Although he didn't care much about the future Five Kage, they were still the Five Kage.
A remarkable life needs a reference.
You can't just say how awesome you are without backing it up. People who know you won't argue, but those who don't will think you're boasting.
In last month's review video, the battle between him and the Five Kage was barely touched on—just a few static slides.
But this time, it's much better. The battle scenes are detailed.
With this fight and the Five Kage as a reference, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others got a better understanding of how powerful Madara truly is.
Madara, on the other hand, also enjoyed this passive way of showing off.
"The one who got sealed should have been your Wood Clone, right, Madara?"
"Of course, Hashirama. Would you really use your full strength when facing these kids?"
"…You make a good point. I can't argue with that."
"Heh, without you in the future shinobi world, there wouldn't be a single decent ninja to fight me."
"But in the end, you still didn't succeed."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Madara became upset.
He stopped smiling and said, with a twisted expression, "If it wasn't for Black Zetsu's interference, do you think those future ninjas could have stopped me?"
"Eh~ So, it seems Black Zetsu could be considered a hero?"
"Hero, my ass. You want to make a monument for it too?"
For Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara was deeply disgusted.
This guy not only insulted his intelligence but also desecrated his body.
If it weren't for that evil little brat Tobirama not letting him participate, he would've directly used the Chibaku Tensei to seal Black Zetsu in a sphere to keep it company with its mother.
[Reanimated Madara was successfully sealed by Gaara using his strongest sealing technique.]
[Before anyone could celebrate, the next moment, Tsunade was struck with a chilling realization—they had only sealed Madara's Wood Release clone.]
[As Madara thought he had taken down the enemy's healer, Tsunade shattered the weapons of his Susanoo with her bare hands and then smashed towards Madara.]
[Madara reacted quickly, throwing Yasaka Magatama to knock Tsunade back.]
[But with the enhancement of the Strength of a Hundred Seal, as long as her chakra wasn't exhausted, Tsunade possessed a pseudo-immortal body, allowing her injuries to heal rapidly.]
[Seeing this, even Madara was slightly surprised: No hand seals for regeneration? Truly the granddaughter of Hashirama.]
[Madara was about to compliment her further when Tsunade came up with a reasonable, though rather childish, analysis in front of him.]
[Tsunade: You're using a Wood Release clone, which means you've been pushed to the brink, right?]
[Madara chuckled and replied: So this is how you think.]
[Then... Madara summoned twenty-five Wood Release clones, all wielding Susanoo.]
"Hey, hey, hey, this is way too unfair!"
Looking at the twenty-five Wood Release clones using Susanoo on the light screen, Fifth Hokage Tsunade was speechless.
"Just one of them is a struggle, and now there are twenty-five."
At this moment, Tsunade realized that in the previous battle, Madara was just toying with them.
"This is really bad."
The thought of fighting someone like this soon made Tsunade's head explode.
She couldn't figure out how they, the Five Kage, could win when facing so many Wood Release clones capable of wielding Susanoo.
"Is it possible that we might lose the Fourth Shinobi World War?"
"Hey, hey, hey, Madara, this is going too far!"
"Going too far? I think it's fine. I only summoned twenty-five clones instead of a hundred. I think the light screen version of me is being very merciful."
"You call this mercy?"
On the screen, when Reanimated Madara created so many Wood Clone, the outcome of this battle was already decided.
The Five Kage really had no chance against these Wood Clones. They were completely suppressed the entire time.
"So, do you still want me to use the Wood Golem technique and summon a full-body Susanoo?"
"Uh, fine. It seems you really are being merciful to the Five Kage on the screen."
It's a joke. The Five Kage couldn't even handle a normal Susanoo, let alone a Wood Golem plus Susanoo.
Of course, there's also the possibility that Uchiha Madara is just boasting.
After all, those were just Wood Clones, not his true body.
His true body can use the full-body Susanoo, but that doesn't mean his Wood Clones can.
But, thinking too much about this is pointless.
Whether it's a normal Susanoo or a full-body Susanoo, the Five Kage couldn't handle either.
The only difference is how long they can hold on.
"Wait, the Five Kage aren't completely without a chance."
"Oh?"
"Did you forget about the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release?"
"Is it that brat Onoki?"
Madara nodded and said, "The power of Dust Release can certainly destroy these Wood Clones, but you should also understand, once the clones are destroyed, given my personality, I'll probably go all out."
"Yeah, for them, this is truly hopeless."
The full power of Uchiha Madara, even though he was weakened by Edo Tensei, is still not something the Five Kage from the later generations can contend with.
