All along, Uchiha Madara thought of himself as sufficiently arrogant.
But hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Uchiha Madara felt he had been too understated; this guy Uehara Naraku was excessively brazen with his words!
A Ten-tails Jinchuriki should at least be a bit obedient to him!
Does this guy think the Ten-tails Jinchuriki is his pet?
This guy...
What right does he have to be so arrogant!
Perhaps he indeed has the qualifications to be so boastful. Whether it's Orochimaru or Uchiha Madara, the fact that both of them could become Ten-tails Jinchuriki originates from Uehara Naraku's help...
If it weren't for Uehara Naraku, they indeed wouldn't have become Ten-tails Jinchuriki...
"Madara-senpai..."
Uehara Naraku supported his forehead, his gaze slowly lowered, and softly continued, "I've given you enough power, can't you obediently fulfill our dream? I'm eagerly anticipating the arrival of the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
"Humph, humph, humph..."
Uchiha Madara stared at Uehara Naraku, sneering as he spoke, "If it's just for releasing the Infinite Tsukuyomi, it would be a waste of this power!"
Uchiha Madara tightly grasped the staff in his hand, loudly saying, "Uehara Naraku! Your power is so overwhelming, it makes one want to test just how strong you really are. This irresistible excitement hasn't appeared since Hashirama!"
"Suppress your excitement then!"
Uehara Naraku put down his hand, pinched his wrist, and softly said, "Sometimes, when ants see an elephant, they also get excited, but wanting to shake an elephant is something they can never achieve in this life..."
"You..."
A smile slowly appeared at the corners of Uchiha Madara's mouth, his smile growing larger, his laughter becoming more and more resonant: "Hahahahahahaha... Hahahahahaha... It's even more to my liking than I imagined!"
Uchiha Madara suddenly swung the staff in his hand aiming at Uehara Naraku, loudly declaring, "Then let me see what kind of mighty power this so-called elephant truly possesses!"
"I won't disappoint you."
Uehara Naraku slowly spread out his palm, calmly saying, "If you lose..."
Uehara Naraku paused for a moment, his gaze turning icy cold as he looked at Uchiha Madara, "Then obediently become my tool, prepare to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, alright?"
After hearing Uehara Naraku's words, Uchiha Madara's expression froze for a second, then he slowly curved his mouth, slowly arching his body.
The next moment, this man who had just become a Ten-tails Jinchuriki suddenly raised his head, loudly shouting, "Then come on! Uehara Naraku! If you lose to me, I will also be gracious enough to spare your life!"
A gust of wind charged towards Uehara Naraku!
Uchiha Madara's figure suddenly appeared beside Uehara Naraku. He had witnessed the battle between Orochimaru and Uehara Naraku, fully aware that controlling the Truth-Seeking Balls to attack from a distance was useless against Uehara Naraku; he must find the right moment to use the Truth-Seeking Balls!
In front of ninjas of their caliber, because of mutual restraint, they had to revert to the most primitive stage of ninja battles!
And that was pure Taijutsu combat!
Only in the exchange of Taijutsu could they change moves at any moment and find opportunities to use Ninjutsu or attack with the Truth-Seeking Balls!
Uchiha Madara swung the staff in his hand, smashing towards the top of Uehara Naraku's head, the air seemed to split under the force of his staff!
Uehara Naraku clenched his fist, swung a heavy punch upward, directly breaking Uchiha Madara's staff!
Uehara Naraku's punch remained unstoppable, aiming straight for Uchiha Madara's chin, but his chest was suddenly struck by Uchiha Madara's kick!
Uchiha Madara used the momentum to fly backward!
In their first exchange, neither of them held the upper hand, though for Uchiha Madara, his loss was somewhat greater.
Without hesitation, Uehara Naraku's figure suddenly charged again, swinging his fist furiously to strike directly at Uchiha Madara's body!
The next moment, a fan suddenly appeared in Uchiha Madara's hand!
After losing the staff, somehow he had seized the Uchiha Clan's fan!
Uchiha Madara swung this fan to meet Uehara Naraku's fist, a cold gleam flashing in his eyes!
This fan, passed down through the Uchiha Clan for generations, was made from materials from the Divine Tree, incredibly effective and extremely sturdy!
Moreover, it was also the weapon that had followed Uchiha Madara in countless battles!
Naturally, he was very familiar with fighting with this fan!
"Uchiha Reflection!"
"..."
Uehara Naraku looked speechlessly at his fist as it struck the Uchiha fan!
Immediately, he felt a massive rebound force; the fan rapidly absorbed his power, transforming it into Wind Attribute Chakra to blow him away!
Uehara Naraku braced against the impact of Wind Attribute Chakra to maintain his balance, suddenly extending his fingers, gripping them into a fist again, and striking down!
"Sorry, reflection ineffective."
Uehara Naraku's fist crashed into Uchiha Madara through the fan, forcibly knocking him to the ground!
The figure of this Ten-tails Jinchuriki immediately sagged.
Very quickly, Uchiha Madara's body recovered with the help of the Ten-tailed.
Uchiha Madara charged towards Uehara Naraku again, a Truth-Seeking Ball in his hand transformed into a sharp black rod, swinging it to thrust at Uehara Naraku's face!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were entwined in a fierce battle!
Every strike between them was particularly deadly!
But for the two of them, their powerful recovery abilities allowed them to quickly heal from severe injuries, and they gradually fought with real intensity!
The black rod in Uchiha Madara's hand suddenly thrust out, directly piercing Uehara Naraku's wing, in exchange, Uehara Naraku delivered a knee strike directly to Madara's chest!
Uchiha Madara spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backwards!
Uehara Naraku extended his hand, slowly pulling out the Truth-Seeking Ball black rod from his wing, and crushed it into fragments!
Uehara Naraku glanced at the injury on his wing gradually healing, his eyebrows couldn't help but furrow slightly, yet he still praised: "Well done, you are the first to manage to wound me."
"Ha, sounds like an honor then!"
Uchiha Madara couldn't help but chuckle, "What a troublesome guy... Uehara Naraku, your Taijutsu might be several times stronger than I thought!"
These words were not hollow.
Uchiha Madara, based on his observations during Uehara Naraku and Orochimaru's battle, and through his own experience, finally realized... Uehara Naraku definitely concealed his strength in the fight with Orochimaru!
This guy, has always been hiding his strength!
"Uehara Naraku!"
Uchiha Madara again used a Truth-Seeking Ball to form a black rod, charging towards Uehara Naraku: "You've really hidden well... it makes me even more eager to see just how strong your full power is!"
"Alright."
Uehara Naraku suddenly swept past Uchiha Madara, his hand striking as he passed his side, breaking the Truth-Seeking Ball black rod with a single hit, and delivering an elbow strike to Uchiha Madara's shoulder!
Uehara Naraku watched the involuntary expression of pain on Uchiha Madara's brow with cold indifference.
"If you want to see my full power, use all your methods to entertain me..."
Uehara Naraku's arm suddenly flipped, throwing Uchiha Madara to the ground!
As Uehara Naraku crouched, readying his fist to smash it onto Madara's head, Uchiha Madara on the ground opened his mouth!
"Fire Release: Dust Concealment Jutsu!"
In the next moment, countless dense smoke and sparks sprayed out from his mouth!
In an instant, their battlefield was consumed by thick smoke and dust, scorching heat rushed over, followed by a violent explosion!
That Fire Release Ninjutsu from Uchiha Madara was truly terrifying!
This guy doesn't even need hand seals to unleash such powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu, truly unlike a proper ninja at all!
Luckily, Uehara Naraku isn't a proper ninja either...
"Water Release: Water Array Wall Jutsu!"
As Dust Concealment Jutsu was released, Uehara swung his hand, creating a surge of water forming into a Water Array Wall, forming a semicircular barrier that encased Uehara Naraku, shielding him from Dust Concealment Jutsu's attack.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Extinguishing!"
Uchiha Madara, watching Uehara Naraku hidden in the semicircle water barrier, opened his mouth and spewed out a massive fireball, which transformed into a sea of flames upon landing, flooding over Uehara Naraku's Water Array Wall!
Steam gradually billowed up!
A mist slowly formed in the air.
"Wind Release: Typhoon!"
Uehara Naraku summoned a gust of wind with a wave of his hand, instantly dispersing the surrounding mist. Amidst this blowing wind, a strike of lightning came crashing in!
"Sage Art: Wind Release Light Fang!"
A flash of lightning shot towards Uehara Naraku's head like a laser!
This was a Six Paths Sage Art acquired by Uchiha Madara after becoming a Ten-tailed Jinchuriki; the lightning was exceptionally sharp!
"..."
Uehara Naraku tilted his head.
The flash of lightning pierced through the top of his head, penetrating the wing on his back!
"Want to compete in Immortal Techniques with me?"
Uehara Naraku abruptly clasped his hands together, a slow smile forming on his face: "Then let me show you real Immortal Techniques..."
Just as Uehara Naraku was deciding what Immortal Technique to use, he saw several phantom shadows slowly appearing on Uchiha Madara's body!
This guy still wants to use Limbo shadows?
Uchiha Madara, standing at a distance, observed Uehara Naraku's movements, a glint flashing in his Rinnegan: "I originally didn't want to use this move, to avoid bullying you; unfortunately, it's really hard to find your weakness..."
