"Tsk, it seems there was a slight error."
Madara looked up at the golden giant. This white-haired brat, whom he had initially underestimated, seemed even more troublesome than Hashirama and his words were even more unpleasant.
But so what?
He was Madara. Besides Hashirama, no one could be his opponent.
Not this white-haired kid either.
"Among the opponents I've faced, besides Hashirama, I'd call you the strongest."
Tengai Shinsei!
A giant meteor descended from the sky.
Next was the second one.
A massive shadow covered the first meteor, its size double that of the first. Once it fell, everything within several thousand meters would turn into ruins.
Fortunately, Madara had an Edo Tensei body, allowing him to ignore these issues.
"Is that all?" Satoshi looked up at the meteor gradually approaching in the sky. "Boring."
"Tch."
Madara sneered. This brat certainly inherited his arrogant personality. On that point, he didn't make him so annoyed. He even liked him a little.
Unfortunately, they both chose completely different paths. Therefore, Madara had to defeat him personally and reclaim those eyes.
Just as Madara's thoughts shifted, a cold dampness suddenly enveloped him. His pupils constricted, and he was astonished to find that the vast lake below was flowing backward.
Countless giant water droplets broke free from gravity's restraint, shooting towards the sky-obscuring meteor one after another.
"This is..."
The moment the water droplets touched the meteor—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The violent Water Chakra detonated, turning into countless invisible sharp blades, frantically cutting the massive rock body.
The hard meteor was as fragile as paper in the dense explosions, disintegrating in an instant into a sky-filling rain of shattered stones.
Immediately after, the surging giant waves from below precisely enveloped every falling piece of rubble, stirring up monstrous muddy waves that firmly locked the destructive aftermath above the lake surface.
However, things were far from over.
Chibaku Tensei!
Madara raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and a black hole core instantly appeared high in the sky.
The terrifying suction seemed to distort the entire space, and Satoshi's massive golden Susanoo bore the brunt of it. His massive body was pulled towards the core high in the sky.
At the same time, the meteor debris that had just been shattered surged frantically towards that black core point.
Amidst an earth-shattering roar, a massive rock sphere, even larger than the previous meteor, formed in the sky.
Satoshi, along with his dazzling golden giant, was completely sealed within it.
Madara stood on the water, looking up at the sphere suspended in the sky.
Rinnegan's control over Chibaku Tensei was like an extension of his arm.
This level of Fuinjutsu was enough to suppress most powerful beings in the world.
But he didn't hope for Chibaku Tensei to permanently seal Satoshi. His goal was merely to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
"The plan seems to be getting on track."
Far from the battlefield, Jiraiya was pacing around.
"I have to help him, Satoshi is too careless."
"Jiraiya, your going would be useless." Tsunade stopped Jiraiya.
"That naturally evil Uchiha brat has inherited granduncle's Ninjutsu and also his extraordinary wisdom. A brute like Madara definitely isn't his match."
The Uchiha ninjas fell silent.
What do you mean by naturally evil Uchiha?
And what do you mean a brute like Madara?
Even if you are First Hokage-sama's granddaughter, you should still be a bit more careful with your words. After this matter was over, they would definitely complain fiercely.
Just as a group of people were thinking chaotically here, the situation on the battlefield had already changed.
The next moment, a subtle but incredibly clear cracking sound came from the air.
Immediately after, a white light, like a sword of dawn piercing the darkness, suddenly shot out from the huge rock core.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
With a chain reaction, dense cracks, centered on that white light, instantly covered the entire Chibaku Tensei.
Countless equally sharp white lights burst from the cracks, and the rock sphere quickly disintegrated under the cutting of the light.
"What! So fast..."
Madara looked at the dissipating rock sphere in the sky and also saw Satoshi slowly floating down from the air.
"For me, who also possesses the Rinnegan, this is not difficult." He released Susanoo and stood before Madara.
Next was the second stage of the battle. By now, Madara had to admit that Satoshi's power gave him quite a headache. However, this battle was far from over.
"Satoshi! Here I come!"
Satoshi took a deep breath, raising his Chakra sensing ability to the extreme. Subtle fluctuations in the air, the trajectory of Chakra flow, ripples of disturbed space...
All information surged into his highly concentrated consciousness like a tide.
[Tobirama's lifelong targeting of the Uchiha, especially Madara, has finally come in handy.]
[Dance to your heart's content, Konoha's Second Hokage, Tobirama!]
The two swords in Satoshi's hands instantly transformed into two deadly streams of light, his body performing incredible evasive maneuvers with minimal movement. The two sharp blades wove an impenetrable net of death around him.
Precisely blocking, parrying, and counterattacking every attack from the shadow in the void.
Bansho Tenin!
Madara seized a fleeting opening, and his Rinnegan's ocular power activated. A massive, irresistible suction force suddenly gripped Satoshi, pulling him off the ground from his intricate sword net defense.
Just as Satoshi was pulled from his original spot, Madara instantly conjured a black rod in his hand. From an incredibly tricky angle, he ruthlessly stabbed towards Satoshi's vital points.
Just as the black rod was about to pierce him, Satoshi's figure vanished from his spot without a trace.
The next instant, he appeared directly behind Madara's main body.
Flying Thunder God Slash!
The incomparably sharp sword pierced through Madara's Edo Tensei body without obstruction.
"Bastard! It's that despicable Tobirama's Ninjutsu again!" Madara roared.
He could accept being injured, but he could not tolerate being outmaneuvered by Tobirama's Ninjutsu.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
A scorching tornado of flames instantly spewed forth, covering all possible locations where Satoshi might appear.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall!
A rising wall of water timely blocked the flames, raising a sky-full of water vapor.
"Damn it, it's that guy's Flying Thunder God again!" Madara frowned.
Was Tobirama, that bastard, still going to cause him trouble even after death?
Meanwhile, before the water vapor had fully dispersed, Satoshi clapped his hands together heavily.
Limbo: Border Jail!
Four identical shadows split off, instantly appearing on all four sides of the battlefield, firmly surrounding Madara in the center.
Perhaps, one Satoshi would take some time to defeat Madara. But what about five?
Satoshi said, "Against a senior of Madara-sama's caliber, I think five of us fighting one of you should be quite fair."
Madara looked at the four illusory figures, then at Satoshi's dazzling white hair.
An unprecedented surge of rage and frustration erupted like a volcano in his chest.
These were all his Ninjutsu!
These were his eyes!
He was taking back what he said before. He didn't like this junior with the same white hair as Tobirama at all.
"Here we go!"
Five figures sealed off every one of Madara's movements.
At this moment, the Uchiha Special Attack passive upgraded.
[Passive: Specialized in beating Madara!]
