"Haruno? Not Senju?"
Madara was surprised and raised an eyebrow to glance at Tobirama beside him.
'It seemed someone had done something against the ancestors' wishes. But it wasn't a big deal. I, Uchiha Madara, didn't care about someone's name when I made enemies.'
'As long as the girl's blood vessels flowed with blood carrying Wood Release, then it wasn't shameful for me, the Ghost of Uchiha, to fight her to a draw!'
"I underestimated you. But this won't happen a second time!" Madara put his hands together, rapidly forming hand seals, and laughed. "I'll use this move as an opening, brat!"
—Tengai Shinsei!
Above, a giant meteorite burned as it broke through the clouds, rapidly plummeting with an oppressive, awe-inspiring aura.
The giant object, nearly obscuring the entire battlefield, brought impact and heat waves, causing many allied Ninjas fighting the Edo Tensei puppets to involuntarily stop their movements and stare blankly at the sky.
"Hey, hey, hey, is this really something a Ninja can do?" Jiraiya watched the giant stone sphere falling from the sky, his parched throat bobbing.
"Jiraiya, don't hold back anymore! Deal with Orochimaru with full force! Sakura and the others need our help!"
Tsunade stomped on Katsuyu beneath her feet. A small split body squeezed out from the giant slug and crawled onto Tsunade's arm, fusing with it.
Immediately, pale blue flames of light enveloped her entire body. Cyan markings spread from her brow, spreading over her entire body.
Raising her fist, filled with Natural Energy, Tsunade suddenly charged at Orochimaru. The Monstrous Strength Technique in her hand erupted as she slammed it down.
"Alright, I'm coming too!" Jiraiya used oil paints to draw patterns on his face.
He used the Summoning Technique to summon the two sages of Mount Myoboku, Shima and Fukasaku, and connected his body to theirs through the Amphibian Technique, directly entering Sage Mode.
The two great sages on his left and right formed hand seals with him. Wind, fire, and oil combined into the Sage Art: Goemon, burning toward Orochimaru like a wildfire.
"Hehehe, Tsunade, you've also mastered Sage Mode! Please, allow me to experience it!" Orochimaru, bending down, his eyes flashing with excitement, opened his mouth and spat out several white phosphorus great serpents.
The howling serpent bodies danced wildly in mid-air, meeting Tsunade's fist and Jiraiya's firestorm.
Orochimaru, his head filled with all kinds of forbidden techniques, now possessing the undying body of the Edo Tensei, saw his combat power expand several times over.
He used the Ninjutsu he normally wouldn't dare to use. He burned the lifespan he wouldn't dare to burn before.
The Orochimaru-style Replacement Technique, which damages cell lifespan, was used as casually as a game. And the white phosphorus great serpents, which consume large amounts of Chakra, were completely unrestricted.
For a time, the intensity of the three's battle increased another level. The Ninjas of the surrounding allied forces, let alone approaching, even remaining on the battlefield without being blown away by the battle's air currents became difficult.
On the other side, seeing Sakura being besieged by several Edo Tensei bodies, Naruto and Sasuke no longer held back.
"Hmm, brat, there's something different about you... is that Sage Mode?" Gengetsu shot a Water Gun Technique at Sasuke.
But the other party didn't dodge, forcibly enduring the hit with his dragon scales. Then, having accumulated Natural Energy, two purple eye shadows appeared beside Sasuke's eyes.
Then, he soared into the sky, transforming into a cherry-colored dragon, overlooking the earth.
Purple armor gradually wrapped the dragon's body, and extended two giant wings behind him, each holding a long sword.
—Susanoo: Beast's Bane!
Sasuke turned his head and opened his mouth to gather a heat breath. The Susanoo long sword, composed of Yin Release Chakra, pierced into the fireball in his mouth. Flames of crimson tinged with gold danced, like a beam of light connecting heaven and earth.
The scorching dragon fire covered Gengetsu and his summoning creature, burning them both to ashes.
Boom!
The beam of Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique once again cut Naruto's body in two. The violent explosion blew him to pieces.
But such combat had occurred countless times between the two. The Second Tsuchikage, Mu, unaware of the power of Haki, even though he wielded the most offensive Kekkei Tota in the Ninja World, still could not harm Naruto, who had a Logia body.
"Sasuke has already gone full power. I can't lag behind him!"
Naruto formed hand seals to release a clone he had stored in Mount Myoboku, remotely transferring the accumulated Senjutsu Chakra to the battlefield.
Immediately, the flames on his body, already in Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, became increasingly white. The Phosphorus Erosion World sealed him and the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, inside. Violent explosions resounded within.
"Such an impatient one! But I don't want to fall behind either. So be it." Sakura looked up. Between her wrist rotations, she threw out four Flying Thunder God kunai.
The tiny fire meteor in the air could be seen crashing straight into the giant fire meteor. Then, dark formulas unfolded in mid-air, like a giant spider web covering the meteor in the sky.
The next second, the giant meteor disappeared without a trace.
'What is this!?'
'A sealing technique!?'
'Space-Time!?'
It's Flying Thunder God Technique.
—Flying Thunder God Formation: Guiding Thunder!
"Tch, Senju Tobirama's technique!" Madara clicked his tongue, showing a disgusted expression.
As the number one hater of the Uchiha Clan, Tobirama, in his limited Ninjutsu development career, had poured infinite malice toward their Uchiha Clan.
Known as an inventor, nearly every one of his Ninjutsu was specifically tailored to target a certain weakness of the Uchiha Clan.
"But don't think you can defeat me by relying on others' techniques. Dance to your heart's content, Haruno Sakura!" The battlefield rose, the Ninja World's previous dance king, spread his arms and sent an invitation to Sakura.
"Heh, you old man with the big talk!" Sakura snorted coldly. The power of her fruit began to distort the surrounding reality.
Natural Energy was also drawn from the atmosphere by her. She entered Sage Mode in an instant.
Burning emerald particles wove a pale haori. A bone mask hung from her silver-white horns. A wooden cross-shaped great spear extended from her, its tip carrying the terrifying power of decay.
And Sakura's own body began to disorderly plunder the surrounding heat. Her hair color turned pale in the constantly dropping temperature.
—Sage Mode: White Snow Warrior Form!
Ice Release, Boil Release, Wood Release... Madara, through Chakra perception, detected the aura of authentic bloodlines produced by the system on Sakura's body.
'Gene flow stable, Chakra operation perfect. This was definitely not something a first-generation bloodline developer could achieve. The only explanation was...'
"Hashirama, you bastard, you played around quite a bit after I left, didn't you?" A surprised gaze turned toward his old friend.
"Hey, don't slander me like that! Mito won't be happy if she hears this!" An intense sense of shame even briefly broke free from Kabuto's control. Hashirama roared at Madara.
"You two, I'm in a hurry. I don't have time to listen to your flirtatious bickering!"
Sakura stepped forward, her entire body shuttling across the blood-soaked land. Her long spear spun in the air, stabbing straight at Madara's head.
Danger, danger, danger... The intuition honed from many life-or-death battles screamed wildly, urging Madara to twist his head.
Boom!
The violence at the tip of the spear erupted backward along his body. The cracks extending from beneath Madara's feet nearly cut the entire island in two.
The power of decay, which followed like a shadow, even carried away the vitality contained within the surrounding living beings.
"Haha, hahahaha! Yes, that's it! More, more! Let me fall for you, Haruno Sakura!!!"
