Chapter 310: Konoha vs. Uchiha Madara
"Lightning Release: Liger Bomb: Chiyo Dance!"
"Hell Stab: One-Finger Nukite!"
Two figures wreathed in violent Lightning Release chakra rushed in at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye from the left and right sides simultaneously! It was the Third Raikage and the Fourth Raikage A, father and son.
They pushed their Lightning Release Chakra Modes to the extreme, concentrating their strongest attacks on a single point, attempting to break through the Susanoo's defense with ultimate penetration.
"Oh? A little interesting." A trace of interest flashed in Uchiha Madara's eyes, but he still did not move, merely controlling the Susanoo's arms to accurately grab at the two!
Boom! Boom!
The giant blue hands and the ultimate lightning techniques collided, letting out a deafening roar! Lightning splashed everywhere, and energy shockwaves rippled out in circles. The two Raikages' One-Finger Nukite techniques were indeed astonishingly powerful, actually managing to pierce fine cracks into the palms of the Susanoo! But that was all.
"Your strength is acceptable, but still not enough to look at!" Madara snorted coldly. The Susanoo suddenly exerted its strength, squeezing the two Raikages, who were famous for their physical strength, as if pinching little chicks, and then smashed them hard into the ground!
The earth trembled violently, leaving two huge deep pits.
"Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"
At this very moment, a cold voice sounded. The Second Tsuchikage, Mū, having flown into the air at some unknown point, condensed a transparent cubic barrier between his hands. It instantly expanded to a size sufficient to envelop half of the Susanoo and silently shone down!
This was a Kekkei Tōta that could turn everything into atoms!
"Dust Release? Onoki, you brat's not dead yet?" Uchiha Madara finally got a little more serious. He recognized this jutsu.
However, he did not dodge.
Just as the light of the Dust Release was about to touch the Susanoo, Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan flashed slightly.
"Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal."
An invisible vortex appeared in front of the Susanoo. The Dust Release barrier, which was sufficient to annihilate everything, upon contact with the vortex, was completely absorbed like a stream of water flowing into the sea, without stirring up a single ripple!
"What?!" The Tsuchikage in the air turned pale with horror. His strongest jutsu was so easily neutralized?
"Giving it back to you," Uchiha Madara said indifferently. His Rinnegan rotated again. The Dust Release energy he had just absorbed was modified by his Yin-Yang Release and transformed into an even thicker and more violent chakra light cannon, which he spewed directly from the Susanoo's mouth!
"Earth Release: Golem Technique!" The First Tsuchikage, Ishikawa, reacted extremely quickly, instantly summoning a giant rock golem to block in front of him.
BOOM!!!
The rock golem instantly disintegrated and vaporized under the bombardment of the Dust Release cannon! The violent explosion swallowed both of the Tsuchikage in the air and the First Tsuchikage on the ground.
"Water Release: Water Mirror Technique!"
The Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hōzuki, created a huge water mirror. In the mirror, an identical replica of Uchiha Madara's Susanoo instantly appeared and slashed over!
"Imitation? Merely a superficial form." Uchiha Madara didn't even bother to control his Susanoo to block. The water mirror replica, upon approaching, collapsed on its own because it couldn't withstand the huge energy fluctuations of the main body, turning into a spray of water.
"Ice Release: Ten Thousand Mile Ice Sealing!" The Third Mizukage pressed his hands on the ground. An extremely cold ice layer instantly spread out, attempting to freeze the Susanoo and Uchiha Madara within it.
Crack... The ice layer did indeed rapidly cover the lower half of the Susanoo and was even spreading upwards.
"Ice Release? A rare Kekkei Genkai," Uchiha Madara commented. Then, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Uchiha Madara, inside the Susanoo, rapidly formed seals. Raging flames like a tsunami spewed from his mouth, completely swallowing and burning the ice layer! The flames even spread back along the path of the ice, forcing the Third Mizukage to retreat repeatedly.
The First Mizukage, Byakuren, attempted to attack with the Great Waterfall Technique. The huge water current impacted the Susanoo but couldn't even make it tremble.
From the beginning of the battle until now, in just a few short minutes, the successive Kages' proud secret techniques, Kekkei Tōta, and strongest spears and shields were like a children's game in front of Uchiha Madara, easily broken and crushed by him in various ways.
He hadn't even moved a single step from his original spot. Relying solely on the defense of his Susanoo and the basic abilities of his Rinnegan, he had already rendered all the Kages' attacks futile.
"With just this bit of strength, you also wish to dance?" Uchiha Madara seemed to have lost his patience. The ripples in his Rinnegan eyes spread. "Playtime is over. Let me show you what true power is."
He clapped his hands together.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Bloom!"
RUMBLE—!
The earth trembled madly. Countless giant trees and vines broke through the earth, growing wildly, instantly turning the entire battlefield into a primeval forest! These trees were not only incomparably tough but also contained powerful chakra, easily entwining, binding, and attacking all the Kage.
What was even more terrifying was that in the center of the forest, a giant flower bud slowly bloomed, releasing yellow pollen with a strong hypnotic effect!
"This is... the First Hokage's Wood Release!?" All the Kage, especially the few who had lived through the era of the First Hokage, were all aghast! How could Uchiha Madara use Senju Hashirama's Wood Release?!
Although the Impure World Reincarnation bodies would not truly fall unconscious, their movements were also greatly interfered with and suppressed.
"Planetary Devastation."
Uchiha Madara's cold voice was like a final judgment. He stretched out his palm. A black chakra sphere slowly rose into the air, emitting an infinite gravitational pull!
The earth began to crack. Giant rocks, trees, and even the bound Kage were all uncontrollably pulled flying towards the black core in the sky!
"Damn it!"
"Can't move!"
"What kind of power is this?!"
The successive Kage struggled desperately, but under the bondage of the Wood Release and the powerful gravity of Planetary Devastation, their resistance seemed so pale and weak. Huge rocks continuously attached to it, and soon, an incomparably huge rock sphere formed in the air, sealing all the successive Kage within!
The battlefield once again returned to a deathly silence. Only the rampaging Wood Release forest and the floating satellite-like Planetary Devastation in the sky remained.
Uchiha Madara slowly lowered his hand, his Rinnegan surveying this battlefield that he had easily ravaged, his eyes filled with endless indifference and boredom.
"The so-called 'Kage,' even when gathered together, are nothing more than this," he snorted coldly, his tone filled with disappointment and contempt. "You don't even have the qualifications to warm me up. Hashirama, if you saw this scene, what would you think? This world you protected is still so fragile."
He turned around, no longer looking at the stone sphere in the sky, as if he had just casually cleaned up some unsightly trash.
After deciding on the operation plan and location, the Fire Federation also demonstrated the high efficiency of a newly unified nation. After Uchiha Douhuan decided on and demarcated the battle location, an area with a radius of two hundred kilometers was cleared in less than half a day, and the original civilians within it were properly resettled.
In the selection of combatants, Uchiha Douhuan also did not deploy the village's large army corps. Instead, besides the several Hokage, he only brought his three disciples, as well as Shisui, Fugaku, and Might Guy.
Uchiha Douhuan knew very well that when facing an enemy of Uchiha Madara's level, a simple accumulation of numbers had no meaning. In a battle of this level, the so-called Kage-level could only wander on the edge of the battlefield. Only the powerhouses among the Kage were qualified to enter this area.
"Are you sure there are no civilians remaining in the surrounding area?" Uchiha Douhuan confirmed one last time before letting Kakashi open the Kamui dimension.
"Reporting to Lord Hokage, the area within a two-hundred-kilometer radius has already been carefully checked by the members of the Hyuga clan. All civilians have been evacuated," Uchiha Inahi reported at this time.
"I'll give you one hour. You should also withdraw beyond the warning line," Uchiha Douhuan ordered calmly.
"Yes!" Uchiha Inahi nodded.
An hour later, Kakashi opened the gate to the Kamui dimension. At the same time, Shisui also used his genjutsu to break the seal on the Eight-Tails and completed his control with his Sharingan.
The Eight-Tails' chakra instantly erupted. Before long, Uchiha Madara flashed out from the exit of the Kamui dimension.
At the same time, the figures also arrived on the battlefield.
The first to land were three figures. Their bodies were wreathed in the unique dust of the Impure World Reincarnation, yet they exuded a chakra far more majestic than ordinary reincarnated powerhouses!
"Madara!!!" Senju Hashirama's voice arrived before the person. His resounding voice was filled with complex emotions: anger, heartbreak, and a resolute will to fight. He landed directly in front of Madara, his powerful chakra flowing out naturally, causing even the rampaging Wood Release forest around him to fall silent for a moment.
"Big brother, calm down! He is the enemy now!" Senju Tobirama followed closely, landing on Hashirama's flank. His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, his hands had already quietly formed a seal, and he calmly analyzed the battlefield. "Planetary Devastation... he has indeed completely mastered the power of the Rinnegan."
A golden flash, and Minato Namikaze's figure appeared on Madara's other side as if teleporting. The special kunai in his hand flashed with a cold light. He glanced at the stone sphere in the sky and the surrounding Wood Release, his face grave: "Lord First, Lord Second, it seems the situation is even trickier than we thought."
Immediately after, an old but still tall and straight figure landed. It was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. He summoned the Adamantine Staff, on high alert.
And the last to land were the pillars of Konoha's new generation.
Uzumaki Naruto's entire body was enveloped in a brilliant golden chakra cloak, his Nine-Tails Mode perception fully deployed.
In Uchiha Sasuke's eyes, Sage Art chakra and the Eternal Mangekyo chakra faintly emerged around his body.
The most eye-catching was Hyuga Neji. He floated half a foot off the ground. A pure and powerful azure-blue chakra emanated from his body, and the Tenseigan, as if containing a brilliant sea of stars, rotated in his eye sockets! Truth-Seeking Orbs, like living stars, slowly rotated behind him.
"Uchiha Madara!" Naruto roared, the golden chakra burning like flames. "Your conspiracy ends here!"
Sasuke's Mangekyo coldly locked onto Madara, his words concise, "This time, we will definitely finish you."
Neji said nothing, but the light flowing in his Tenseigan showed that he had already seen all of Madara's chakra pathways and energy flow clearly.
Uchiha Madara's gaze swept over the new arrivals, pausing slightly on Naruto and Sasuke, and finally stopping on Neji's Tenseigan. For the first time, a look of genuine interest appeared on his face: "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, a junior with Eternal eyes... and these eyes? Interesting, very interesting! I never thought this era could still produce so many surprises! Do you also wish to dance?"
"Madara, turn back! Don't make any more mistakes!" Senju Hashirama shouted, heartbroken.
"Turn back? Hahahaha!" Uchiha Madara threw his head back and laughed wildly. "Hashirama, you are still so naive! The path I walk is the only path to true peace! Since you have all come to stop me, then let's speak with power! Let me see how long you bunch of rabble can last under my hands!"
The battle erupted in an instant!
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
Senju Hashirama did not hesitate at all, directly using his strongest killing move right from the start! A giant thousand-handed Buddha rose from the ground, its scale even larger than during the Battle of the Valley of the End. Countless giant arms clenched into fists, smashing towards Uchiha Madara with the momentum of destroying everything!
"Hmph! Hashirama, do you think the same jutsu still works on me?!" Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan stared angrily. "Limbo: Border Jail!"
Four invisible "Limbo" shadows instantly split off, rushing towards the True Several Thousand Hands at a speed surpassing vision, and actually forcefully blocked the countless giant fists that were smashing down! The violent collision sound resounded through the heavens and the earth, the shockwaves churning, as if space itself was about to be torn apart!
"Flying Thunder God Slash!"
At the instant Madara's attention was attracted by Hashirama, Minato Namikaze's figure appeared behind Madara like a ghost, the special kunai in his hand, shining with a cold light, stabbing straight at his back! At the same time, Senju Tobirama also attacked from another angle with the Flying Thunder God Technique!
"Insignificant tricks!" Madara didn't even turn his head. The perception of his Rinnegan had already seen through everything. His body tilted slightly, precisely dodging Minato's fatal blow. At the same time, he smashed his fist back at Tobirama. The wind from his fist, wrapped in terrifying chakra, directly forced Tobirama to retreat.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!" Madara waved his hand, releasing a powerful flame, sweeping towards Minato and Tobirama.
"Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder!" Minato instantly threw out a jutsu-formula kunai, attempting to divert the flame.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!" Tobirama, on the other hand, instantly summoned a huge water wall to block.
But Madara's attack was too ferocious. Although Minato diverted a part of it, he was still grazed by the remaining flames, and his reincarnated body trembled. Tobirama's Water Formation Wall was directly pierced and evaporated!
"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!" Sarutobi Hiruzen transformed his Adamantine Staff into a shuriken form, instantly turning it into countless giant shuriken that shot at Madara, while at the same time spewing "Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique" as a coordinated attack.
Madara just casually waved his hand, "Almighty Push!"
A powerful repulsive force field erupted with him as the center. All the shuriken and the fire dragon were instantly sent flying back, rolling back towards Sarutobi Hiruzen himself!
