Chapter 281: Sarutobi Asuma vs. Edo Madara! (Seeking Subscriptions)
Behind them, Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Shinya, Uchiha Fugaku, Tsunade, and Senju Tobirama had left Konohagakure and arrived, just in time to witness Uchiha Madara being kicked flying by Sarutobi Asuma. They were all startled.
Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Shinya, Uchiha Fugaku, Tsunade: "Uchiha Madara is this weak?"
Senju Tobirama: "Is this Uchiha Madara a fake?"
On the mountainside, Uchiha Madara's half-body rapidly recovered. He looked at Sarutobi Asuma in the air and thought to himself, 'What speed. Stronger than the First Raikage back then!'
However, the more this was the case, the more excited he became.
With his body recovered, Uchiha Madara pulled himself out of the mountainside. Simultaneously, his Sharingan transformed into a Mangekyo, and blue chakra surged from his body.
Susanoo!
Sarutobi Asuma watched and couldn't help but smile.
'It's not the Complete Body. It's just humanoid, without even the Tengu helmet.'
Shaking his head inwardly, Sarutobi Asuma didn't wait for Uchiha Madara to make another move. The nine chakra dragons wrapped around him opened their mouths in unison, blasting beams of light down, striking the massive Susanoo.
Then.
Under everyone's gazes, the Susanoo that had just appeared, with a cracking sound, exploded.
"Hmph?"
Uchiha Madara's expression finally changed slightly. As he fell, he grunted, "Very good, you are qualified to make me use my full power!"
Before his voice even faded, even more colossal chakra surged out, and Susanoo reappeared.
But this time, everyone except Sarutobi Asuma and Senju Tobirama was shocked.
Because this Susanoo was too massive!
Its enormous size was like a gigantic mountain.
Its vast chakra was soul-shaking.
"This is the true power of the Sharingan!"
Orochimaru looked up at the mountain-like Susanoo, extremely excited.
This wasn't the first time he had seen Susanoo in this form, but neither Uchiha Fugaku's nor Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo could compare to Uchiha Madara's!
"This guy... the difference compared to just now is too great!"
Tsunade watched, sweat beading on her forehead. "Grandfather fought an enemy like this back then!"
She hadn't paid much attention to the previous Susanoo. With her current strength and Wood Release, she was confident she could win. But now, it was uncertain.
Senju Tobirama next to her said, "No, this isn't his limit yet."
"During the battle at the Valley of the End, Uchiha Madara was even stronger than he is now, and he also had the Nine-Tails back then!"
Gulp.
Sarutobi Shinya couldn't help but swallow.
Uchiha Fugaku's heart was also shaken. After all, among them, he was the one who understood the Sharingan and Susanoo the most.
He himself had awakened the Mangekyo... even, except for Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo, which he hadn't seen, no one else's Susanoo, including the currently strongest Uchiha Yashiro's Susanoo, was as powerful as this, even if it was in the same form.
Uchiha Madara truly lived up to his name!
If such a person were not defeated, then the fate of the Uchiha clan in Konoha, the traitors, would likely be...
With that thought, Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but say, "Fourth Hokage, should we concentrate our forces and surround Uchiha Madara!"
Namikaze Minato shook his head. "No, now is not the time."
If the goal were merely to capture Uchiha Madara, they wouldn't have waited until now.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara clenched his fist on the forehead of Susanoo.
Instantly, the massive chakra of Susanoo stabilized rapidly, and at the same time, wings rapidly grew from its back.
"The chakra has completely stabilized, truly astonishing!"
Orochimaru looked up in amazement.
He felt that this power seemed much stronger than Nagato's.
Indeed, Nagato had far from unleashed the full power of the Rinnegan.
And with that, how powerful would the true Rinnegan be?
Thinking this, Orochimaru's gaze became incredibly fervent.
Beside him, Uchiha Obito was also shaken.
When he met Uchiha Madara, the latter was already old and frail.
This was also the first time he was witnessing the power of the renowned Uchiha Madara.
So, would he be a match for him?
Uchiha Obito looked at Sarutobi Asuma, a trace of unease in his heart.
Sarutobi Asuma, however, smiled even wider at this moment. "That's more like it!"
At this moment, his blood boiled and he became excited.
Days without opponents were not easy, to the point that his training was no longer as intense as when he first arrived in this world.
"Then..."
Sarutobi Asuma extended his right hand, grasping at nothing.
Instantly, the chakra dragons wrapped around him scattered, followed by the condensation of bones.
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Madara's gaze sharpened. "He's using powerful chakra control to imitate Susanoo?"
"But this guy's chakra is actually even stronger than Hashirama's!"
On the mountaintop, watching the colossal monster that rapidly condensed in the air, with a dragon's head and a human's body, no smaller than Uchiha Madara's Susanoo, Orochimaru was secretly shocked. "As expected of Asuma!"
"Just how far has Asuma's chakra control reached!"
While shocked, Sarutobi Shinya secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He had never seen this move before.
"This move, I call it Dragon God Dharma!"
Sarutobi Asuma chuckled lightly. The immense Dragon God Dharma reached out and grasped at the air, a pale purple light beam extending and transforming into a giant chakra blade.
This was formed from high-temperature plasma, its temperature reaching a million degrees.
"Imitation is imitation, it can't be compared to Susanoo!"
Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully, then drew his sword.
Instantly, the sword light flashed like lightning, slashing diagonally upwards towards Sarutobi Asuma in the air.
Before Sarutobi Asuma even reached the air, a massive mountain peak over a thousand meters tall in the distance was split in two diagonally before collapsing with a rumble, shaking the earth.
Namikaze Minato, Orochimaru, and the others watching were all stunned.
In the distance, on the walls of Konohagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hatake Sakumo, Hyuga Hiashi, and the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, Fourth Raikage, Fifth Mizukage, and Fifth Kazekage, who had just arrived via the teleportation array, were also dumbfounded, cold sweat breaking out.
"This level... it's not even in the same dimension!"
Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage, couldn't help but open her fiery red lips wide.
Gaara, who had been the One-Tails' Jinchuriki and deeply understood the power of a Tailed Beast, felt fear welling up from the depths of his heart at this moment. "This power far surpasses the Tailed Beasts!"
However, they could see a mountain being split in half, but immediately after, their vision went blind.
The two chakra blades collided in the air, light erupting, brighter than the midday sun.
At this moment, even Hyuga Hiashi couldn't keep his eyes open.
When the light subsided, everyone eagerly looked towards the sky.
Then, they collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Sarutobi Asuma was still there!
They saw two chakra blades locked in a stalemate in the air.
Then, Uchiha Madara drew his other sword and slashed down towards Sarutobi Asuma from above.
In the air, Sarutobi Asuma grabbed with his left hand, and another sword appeared, which he raised to block.
And from the shoulders of Sarutobi Asuma's Dragon God Dharma, two heads grew, one on each side. The dragon heads opened their mouths and shot out light beams.
The Susanoo below immediately fired the Yasaka Beads, and as they collided, light erupted, forming massive spheres of light, with storms raging.
Namikaze Minato and the others watching from the air were involuntarily blown back.
Orochimaru and the others, who were closer to the battlefield, had to retreat even further to observe.
When the light and storms dissipated.
Everyone heard a crisp cracking sound.
They saw that the two chakra blades of the Susanoo had broken.
Sarutobi Asuma had increased his power, forcefully cutting through the chakra blades of the Susanoo.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara could no longer afford to be dismissive, but at the same time, he felt his blood boil.
Boom!
The earth shook, and a fierce wind swept through.
The colossal Susanoo took flight, its wings beating. It swung its fists, colliding with the two falling chakra blades, emitting deafening roars and brilliant, dazzling light.
Sarutobi Asuma's attacks were crude and simple. He continued to hack down, forcefully cleaving Uchiha Madara's Susanoo from the sky.
Rumble!
The mountain peak where Orochimaru and the others had been standing earlier collapsed as the falling Susanoo smashed into it.
"Alright, hahahaha, you are indeed stronger than Hashirama!"
Suppressed by Sarutobi Asuma, Uchiha Madara laughed heartily, his face contorted.
He grew more and more excited, letting the two Chakra Blades, which fell from the sky, strike the shoulders of his Susanoo. Meanwhile, the Susanoo's hands formed hand seals.
"So, how about this move!"
"Tengai Shinsei!"
After unleashing this move, Uchiha Madara's eyes changed, transforming from Mangekyo to rings of Rinnegan.
Immediately after, the Susanoo disintegrated with a roar.
RUMBLE!
The Dragon God Dharma's two Chakra Blades descended, slicing through two mountain peaks and gouging deep ravines in the ground.
Following that, Uchiha Madara shot forward, heading straight for the Dragon God Dharma in the air.
Sensing that his Susanoo was being suppressed, he changed his combat strategy without hesitation.
Sarutobi Asuma also noticed this and immediately dispelled the Dragon God Dharma.
At that moment, Namikaze Minato and the others all looked up, their eyes wide open.
"That's..."
"A meteor!"
"Damn it!"
...
Exclamations rose one after another.
The clouds parted, and enormous meteors rained down from the sky, blocking out the sun and the sky.
Within Konohagakure, the assembled ninja couldn't help but swallow, cold sweat pouring down their faces.
"Can... can Asuma-sama block that?"
"He... he should be able to, right?"
Then, to everyone's terror, above Konoha, an equally colossal meteor appeared, enveloping the entire village.
Instantly, the shadow of the falling meteor, like the shadow of death, loomed over the heads of all Konoha ninja, as well as the Kage like Onoki.
"Is... is this Uchiha Madara's strength!"
Mei Terumi's hands trembled slightly.
In the distance, Orochimaru, who was observing, was ecstatic. "What astonishing power!"
Beneath his mask, Uchiha Obito felt a deep sense of worry.
Meanwhile, in Konohagakure, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was grave as he said, "Tsuchikage, please reduce the weight of the meteor!"
"Understood!"
Onoki nodded, having the same thought. He immediately soared into the sky.
However, his expression changed immediately because Sarutobi Hiruzen was ascending with him.
"You..."
Onoki's eyes widened.
"The same ninjutsu as yours!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide it, nor could he.
Onoki snorted, "It must have been that brat Asuma!"
The techniques of Light-Weighted Rock and Heavy-Rock were very unique. In Iwagakure, even his son and disciple, who were also skilled in Earth Style, could not master them.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen was known as the Ninjutsu Doctor and possessed astonishing talent in ninjutsu. If he had obtained these two techniques, mastering them would not be difficult.
And in Konoha, the only one capable of acquiring such techniques was likely that brat Sarutobi Asuma.
Damn it!
Onoki was secretly angry, but he also knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.
As he ascended, Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted, "Yashiro, Shisui, Itachi!"
"Yes!"
Three figures responded in unison, and under the shocked gazes of many, immense chakra manifested.
Blue, green, and red – three Susanoo appeared simultaneously.
"Three pairs of Mangekyo!"
Mei Terumi exclaimed.
The Fourth Raikage gritted his teeth; the intelligence held by the Cloud Ninja clearly had significant flaws.
Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi had never used the power of their Mangekyo before; this was their first time.
Three divine Susanoo.
When it comes to ocular power, Uchiha Yashiro's is undoubtedly the strongest.
This is because his Mangekyo Sharingan was cultivated by Sarutobi Asuma.
However, Uchiha Shisui possesses the Sage Cursed Seal, and the Perfect Susanoo he displayed at this moment was a whole size larger than Uchiha Yashiro's.
As for Uchiha Itachi, he had only recently awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan and was using Susanoo for the first time. With his ocular power, it was impossible for him to unleash a Perfect Susanoo.
Yet, after unlocking the power of the Sage Cursed Seal, his Susanoo rapidly transformed, ultimately becoming a Perfect Susanoo, though it was still a size smaller than Uchiha Shisui's.
At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Onoki had already arrived beneath the meteorites. They braced themselves, simultaneously unleashing the Super Light-Heavy Rock Jutsu to slow the meteorites' descent.
Then, the two figures descended, and the three divine Susanoo howled as they approached.
Under numerous gazes, Uchiha Shisui and the other two swung their swords.
RUMBLE!
With their combined strength, the massive meteorites were sliced into pieces.
Afterward, the three sheathed their swords and smashed down with their fists.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The giant meteorites exploded once more.
Onoki then intervened again. He brought his hands together and then apart, unleashing Dust Release: Particle Style: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!
Instantly, a massive meteorite fragment turned to dust.
Sarutobi Hiruzen activated Sage Mode, followed by Scorch Release Chakra Mode. Nine dragons coiled around him, their heads opening their mouths to unleash beams of light that blasted the meteorite fragments into explosions.
Below them, many Konohagakure ninjas cheered.
"Mizukage, Kazekage, we should make a move too!"
The Fourth Raikage said, then transformed into a bolt of lightning.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
He blasted the falling meteorite fragments, rendering the smaller debris incapable of harming Konoha.
Gaara also acted immediately. Sand surged from the gourd on his back, holding back the larger meteorite fragments.
Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi unleashed the Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu. The water dragon soared into the sky, engulfing the large meteorite fragments.
Meanwhile, Hatake Sakumo, Hizashi Hyuga, and a host of Konoha Jonin also attacked in unison, blasting the descending meteorite fragments and completely neutralizing the threat.
On the other side, let's go back one minute.
Uchiha Madara shot into the sky and immediately unleashed Banshō Ten'in.
The power he wielded with this technique was far greater than Nagato's. Sarutobi Asuma was caught, but instead of resisting, he instantly activated Lightning Style Chakra Mode.
BOOM!
He broke through the air, and Sarutobi Asuma directly circumvented Uchiha Madara's Banshō Ten'in.
Uchiha Madara immediately changed his power, unleashing Almighty Push.
A terrifying repulsive force erupted, comparable to the attack that the Deva Path Pain in the original story used to destroy Konoha after charging up.
However, Sarutobi Asuma's movement only faltered slightly before, with a roar, rings of white energy appeared, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Uchiha Madara.
Yet, Uchiha Madara remained completely calm.
But the next moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
This was because Sarutobi Asuma had deactivated his Lightning Style Chakra Mode.
BANG BANG BANG!
Uchiha Madara's head and body exploded consecutively, obliterated by Sarutobi Asuma's pure strength.
Then, Sarutobi Asuma's voice was heard: "Everything you do is meaningless to me!"
