Uchiha Madara… is this all?
Before the battle, Madara boasted arrogantly, making Sasuke think he would truly witness their legendary ancestor wreak havoc!
Madara initially demonstrated extraordinary prowess, suppressing the entire Ninja Alliance single-handedly, but was soon beaten up by Uehara Naraku!
Taijutsu, lost to Uehara.
Genjutsu, lost to Uehara.
Ninjutsu, lost to Uehara.
Even after activating the Fourth Form of Susanoo, he was still kicked away by Uehara Naraku, seemingly gaining no advantage!
In this regard, Uchiha Sasuke was mistaken.
In terms of Taijutsu alone, Madara and Uehara Naraku were almost indistinguishable, one relying on rich combat experience and the other on refined fighting techniques; it was merely Uehara Naraku winning the exchange.
Moreover, if judged by Taijutsu strength, Uehara Naraku had not activated tenfold enhancement at this moment and wasn't significantly stronger than Madara or Senju Hashirama, who can kick around the Tailed Beasts for fun...
As for Genjutsu, it was unavoidable.
Yin Power is the ultimate Yin Attribute Chakra, while the Sharingan is merely a manifestation of Yin Power, inherently suppressive.
The same applies to Ninjutsu.
After all, Madara's Fire Release Chakra could never match the inherently superior Flame Power within Uehara Naraku.
Sasuke doesn't understand this.
Because in his view, Madara and he are indistinguishable, their battles are suppressed by Uehara Naraku, and the outcomes are no different.
Both are Uchiha...
Both can activate Susanoo...
Both are beaten up by Uehara Naraku...
Is there any difference?
The difference is.
Madara remains calm at this point.
Even after being kicked away by Uehara Naraku, his Fourth Form of Susanoo, Madara's expression remains unchanged, everything within his expectations.
After all...
Someone who can contend with him in Taijutsu and kick away the Fourth Form of Susanoo doesn't surprise Madara at all.
"You are indeed interesting."
Madara gazes through Susanoo's form at Uehara Naraku floating in the air, speaking softly: "Uehara Naraku, if you want to stand by my side now, I can mercifully allow you to come over and join me."
"…"
Uehara Naraku's eyelids twitched.
Why does this sound familiar?
Do Madara and Sasuke really have no issues with their brains? Why do their personalities and actions are so similar, they both want to persuade him to defect!
Uehara Naraku furrows his brow, hesitating as he speaks: "But... why shouldn't it be Madara-senpai making way for us?"
"Your courage is indeed great!"
Madara slowly lifts his finger, speaking coldly: "Since you've given up the chance to stand by the victor's side, then obediently stand there as my enemy!"
In the next moment, the towering Susanoo suddenly changes, sprouting two giant hands from its back, each holding an oddly shaped blue Sword of Susanoo!
"Truly terrifying!"
Uehara Naraku watches the scene unfold, a hint of amazement appearing on his face: "In terms of Susanoo's strength, it has already far surpassed Sasuke!"
When it comes to the application of Susanoo, Madara has played out all kinds of new tricks with this Ultimate Dojutsu!
The countless clashes with Senju Hashirama during the Warring States period have made Madara's use of Susanoo as if it were an extension of his arm!
"Hmph, are you ready to die?"
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Madara's mouth.
The next moment, the blue Susanoo stomped on the ground, suddenly rising, and swinging the Sword of Susanoo as he leaped towards Uehara!
Madara's blue Susanoo moves with exceptional agility, under his control, the towering giant acts as nimbly as an ordinary person, its speed and power far exceeding Sasuke's purple Susanoo!
A streak of blue Sword Qi slashed over!
Uehara Naraku dodged the blue Sword Qi in mid-air, only to see the Sword Qi brush past him and swiftly land on the ground!
The blue Sword Qi instantly shattered the earth, leaving a deep and long gouge!
This strike made the entire Ninja Alliance fear to advance!
This battle was no longer one they could intervene in, it was more terrifying than the battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto!
Madara stands within Susanoo, continuously wielding the Sword of Susanoo to slash out streaks of blue Sword Qi!
The ground trembles under his assault!
The Ninja Alliance watches the massive blue giant rampage, nearly paralyzed in fear!
"Come and witness the strength of the Uchiha!"
Madara glances at Uehara Naraku, his voice rising: "Uehara Naraku, dance away to entertain me before the end arrives!"
"…"
Uehara Naraku feels exhausted.
In the next instant, Uehara swiftly evades the incoming blue Sword Qi, dodging a strike from the Sword of Susanoo!
Until he reappears atop the blue Susanoo.
"Your speed is quite impressive."
Madara watches Uehara Naraku easily dodge the Sword of Susanoo, appearing before him, nodding in appreciation, continuing: "Unfortunately, before you now is Susanoo, the unbreakable absolute defense..."
"I know."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Sasuke below, slowly clenched his fist, and murmured softly, "Before you arrived on the battlefield, I just dismantled one."
"Sasuke's?"
Uchiha Madara's lips curled slightly, smiling as he continued to hold his arms: "Hmph, I'm not like that little guy who just awakened the Sharingan..."
"In my opinion..."
Chakra within Uehara Naraku's body quickly started accumulating on his fist, and he suddenly hammered the head of Susanoo!
A cracking sound appeared from above...
The next moment, after a blue Susanoo wailed to the sky, its body instantly opened up with cracks, finally dissolving into nothingness!
Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Madara, twisting his wrist, feeling the countershock force, and spoke softly, "It seems there's no difference between you all... just something that can be destroyed with one punch."
"..."
Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed slightly, softly praising, "It's truly surprising, even Hashirama back then couldn't do it, to destroy Susanoo with bare hands..."
Uchiha Madara's lips slightly curled up again, his gaze fixed steadily on Uehara Naraku as a smile reappeared on his face: "Even though you destroyed only the Fourth Form of Susanoo, that's enough for me to commend you..."
It's not a big issue.
Uchiha Madara remained as calm as ever.
Because to him, the real battle had only just begun!
Whether it was the Fourth Form of Susanoo or the previous Taijutsu clash, they were all just Jutsu he used to deal with rabble in usual times.
Usually, he could handle it with a single move.
"So, let's end our warm-up now!"
Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed slightly, his body gradually gathering Chakra. He coldly surveyed the surroundings, also spotting those Ninja Alliance trying to approach his and Uehara Naraku's battlefield.
"Before that, need to clean up these small fries!"
Uchiha Madara sneered, seemingly recalling something, his smile persistent: "There are tens of thousands of ninja here, all the ninja from the Five Great Countries are gathered here, right? Just perfect to use that beautiful Ninjutsu in this crowd!"
The next moment, Uchiha Madara's gaze suddenly changed.
Madara's hands suddenly clasped, his voice gradually carrying a hint of disturbing madness: "Then let you witness the power of another person from that era! Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Instantly, thick vines shot out from his back!
As Uchiha Madara's palm waved forward, these enormous vines began to grow and spread, swiftly drilling towards the direction of the Ninja Alliance and Uehara Naraku!
"I am now the Ninja Alliance Commander-in-Chief... Only I have the right to harm these lovely subordinates..."
Uehara Naraku's voice gradually lowered, quickly clasping his palms!
Clusters of black flames began to spread outward from his feet, forming magnificent black flame lotus flowers!
These black flame lotuses instantly set all the vines ablaze!
Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence was effortlessly neutralized by Uehara Naraku's Blaze Release!
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Madara observed a tendril of black flame reaching him, casually using his Rinnegan to absorb the Chakra within the flame.
Uchiha Madara's brow finally furrowed: "Indeed, even Hashirama's Wood Release, when used, will meet attribute restraints in the Ninja World?"
The next moment, Uchiha Madara's fingers suddenly erected, forming an exceptionally peculiar hand seal, around him Susanoo's blue light began to float!
The three-headed, six-armed blue Susanoo mimicked Uchiha Madara's form, each creating hand seals, collectively initiating a powerful Jutsu!
"Let you try..."
Uchiha Madara's eyes slightly narrowed, staring at Uehara Naraku collecting black flames and the many Ninja Alliance members, speaking lowly: "A Jutsu that cannot be restrained by attributes!"
A vast Chakra flowed in the air!
The clouds in the sky gradually darkened, as if something was disturbing the atmosphere, causing the clouds to start gathering!
A shadow slowly appeared overhead!
It was a gigantic spherical meteorite!
Precisely one of Rinnegan's Dojutsu techniques, Heaven Concealed!
Everyone seemed to sense something, involuntarily raising their head to look at the shadow gradually descending from the sky...
Every ninja's face was involuntarily sweating coldly, despairingly releasing the weapons in their hands, watching the meteorite descending from the sky!
No matter how powerful the ninja, at this moment, only despair and shock covered their faces, only watching the falling meteorite!
No matter what Ninjutsu they used now, it couldn't withstand the impact brought by the descending meteorite!
Ninja Alliance Command.
They had already sensed the battlefield's situation.
Whether it was Tsunade or Fourth Raikage A, Third Tsuchikage Onoki, these Kage-level ninjas stationed at Command were merely sweating coldly, anticipating the battlefield's resolution.
Just as everyone awaited the despair before the apocalypse, a slim, dazzling flame directly pierced the meteorite, exploding it!
Soon after, a scorching flame suddenly shot from the meteorite's base, rapidly expanding like a flaming umbrella and swiftly retracting, gathering and blasting the meteorite's fragmented pieces into dust!
This Fire Release Ninjutsu was simply breathtaking!
Like fireworks, fleeting yet splendid and captivating!
Everyone's gaze instinctively turned to the person who used the Fire Release Ninjutsu to directly shoot through the meteorite, survival cheers instantly resounded across the land!
"Commander-in-Chief!"
"It's General Uehara!"
It was Uehara Naraku who directly utilized Flame Power to create a beautiful Fire Release Ninjutsu, destroying the meteorite descending from the sky, even the fragments after the meteorite explosion were directly ignited and burned into dust!
Uehara Naraku ignored the cheers of the crowd, slowly retracting his fingers, looking at the instigator who summoned the meteorite, seemingly unsatisfied in his tone.
"Madara-senpai, you'll have another meteorite, won't you?"
"..."
Todays' Uchiha Madara had a lot of silent moments.
