Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 288 The Correct Use of Susanoo (4K)

This was not a choice Sasuke made on a whim.

In Sasuke's view, there were many inconsistencies in the enemy's attempt to seize the Rinnegan.

First, there was the missed Chunin, and second, the masked man's blatant appearance.

These raids not only had flaws, but also seemed somewhat ostentatious.

When Sasuke learned that the attacker was the masked man, he immediately noticed a key element—

The enemy can use Sharingan genjutsu to extract information.

Given that the ANBU squad that went there had not returned, he boldly assumed that the enemy had already learned that he possessed the Rinnegan.

So why does the masked man still choose to act so flamboyantly?

"Unless he possesses a trump card that I don't know about, and that trump card will help him steal the Rinnegan." Sasuke glanced behind him and suddenly increased his speed.

beep, beep...

He continued northward, weaving through the dense forest.

A small snake suddenly slithered out, perched on his shoulder, and flicked its tongue.

Sasuke looked at the little snake and shook his head: "No, don't inform Naruto yet."

"He has another Rinnegan... Be careful the enemy doesn't wipe us both out."

The little snake hissed and slithered back into his sleeve.

At that moment, Sasuke sensed something rushing towards him at high speed.

"So it really was our trump card..."

Sasuke formed hand seals and summoned lightning clones, which rushed off in different directions.

The next moment, he stopped on a tree trunk, instantly activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and scanned all the places behind him with his eyes, blood trickling from the corner of his eye.

"Amaterasu!"

"Boom!!" Black flames appeared, instantly igniting the spot where Sasuke's gaze lingered!

A towering black flame rose before him, burning the surrounding trees and erupting into a massive fire, like an incomparably wide moat.

At the same time, a ring of Amaterasu appeared around him to prevent a sneak attack from behind.

"Ugh..." Sasuke couldn't help but cover his eyes, as releasing so much Amaterasu at once was quite a strain on his body.

On the other side of the 'moat', a figure suddenly appeared, silently watching in Sasuke's direction.

"Black flames, huh..."

Madara Uchiha gazed at the inextinguishable flames, scrutinizing Sasuke Uchiha before him.

Sasuke also looked at the Uchiha patriarch in front of him, the reincarnation of the previous Indra, and slowly drew the Kusanagi sword from behind.

A red vest, long black hair fluttering in the wind, arms crossed over her chest, and eyes that seemed to hold the spirit of a lion.

“Uchiha… Madara… was actually resurrected through Edo Tensei.” Sasuke murmured softly.

He deduced Ban's true identity from the cracks in his eyes and face.

"Who summoned you? Orochimaru, or Kabuto Yakushi?"

Sasuke stood on the other side of the wall of fire and said in a deep voice, which made Madara show an interesting expression.

"Interesting, you know Orochimaru?"

"Not only did I know him, I should have killed him long ago to avoid causing trouble like you."

Sasuke's voice gradually turned cold as he mentally assessed the difference in strength between himself and Madara.

As a top student since childhood, Sasuke knew very well that this person was on par with Hashirama Senju, and that the name 'Konoha' was also his creation.

Its strength is beyond question.

"What's the point of bringing out relics from the old era?" Sasuke said coldly, letting the lightning gradually cover the Kusanagi sword.

Madara laughed, a hint of mockery in his eyes as he looked at Sasuke: "You'd better think about how to escape from my grasp first."

His tone was unquestionable, as if Sasuke was already his for the taking.

As for the nasty thing Sasuke said? Ha, what adult would get angry at a child?

The next moment, Madara suddenly disappeared from his spot, instantly bypassing the Black Flame City Wall and charging towards Sasuke!

Sasuke extended his sleeve and summoned shuriken from his wrist guard. His Sharingan locked onto the target, and he hurled them at Madara in one go!
Madara extended a finger, pierced the hollow of a shuriken, and then threw it in the opposite direction, causing the shuriken to bounce off each other and cancel out the impact.

"Whoosh!!"

The next moment, Madara's pupils contracted as he saw the kunai wrapped in lightning growing larger and larger in front of him!

This is not about wrapping the Thousand Birds Stream around the kunai, but about infusing it with Lightning Release chakra and generating high-frequency vibration waves, giving the kunai a penetrating power that surpasses Wind Release.

Furthermore, the stabbed enemy will be paralyzed and unable to move.

In the original story, Killer Bee once attempted to pierce Kisame's head with a pencil. After Raikage A taught him Lightning Release, Sasuke learned the technique and immediately used it in actual combat.

This time, Madara did not underestimate him. He dodged the attack, but Sasuke closed in with his Body Flicker Technique and swung his Kusanagi sword, which was crackling with lightning, at him!

Sasuke did not choose to simply dodge; rather, he enveloped himself in black flames to create the image of a man who would persevere to the end, thus seeking an opportunity to turn the tables!

"Zizzizi!!"

Madara ducked to dodge, then kicked Sasuke away, his hands instantly forming the Tiger Seal:
"Fire Escape: Fire is extinguished!"

"boom!!"

A gigantic flaming arrow shot towards Sasuke, instantly engulfing him!
The speed was so fast that Sasuke didn't have time to dodge.

But the next moment, Madara narrowed his eyes and saw that Sasuke's body was covered in shed white snake skin, which was making a 'sizzling' sound, obviously to help him dodge an attack.

It can be seen that Sasuke's fighting habits changed after becoming the Sage of Ryuchi Cave, and he began to habitually use snake-style ninjutsu.

"Latent Shadow Snake Hands!"

Sasuke's sleeve instantly unleashed countless enormous white pythons, which lunged and bit towards Madara!

The latter leaped up, easily cracking the snake's skull with a terrifying sound of bones breaking, and then charged towards Sasuke along the snake's body.

"Both his taijutsu and ninjutsu are top-notch..."

Sasuke instantly felt immense pressure. He could tell that the enemy in front of him was in no way inferior to himself in terms of experience or absolute strength.

"There's still a little time left..." Sasuke murmured softly, dodging Madara's kick and then parrying his punches.

Madara seized the opportunity and struck Sasuke in the abdomen with an elbow strike, suddenly noticing a significant change in Sasuke's aura.

With a muffled thud, Sasuke was thrown backward, but he immediately regained his footing after a backflip, and then his body began to change.

His skin was covered with white snake scales, his body became strong, dragon horns grew on his forehead, his eyes became narrow and long, and his overall temperament became sinister.

Before confronting Madara head-on, Sasuke had his lightning clone absorb natural energy, and once the clone was dispelled, it activated Sage Mode.

Madara stopped in his tracks, his eyes widening as if he'd stumbled upon a new magic trick: "Sage Mode?"

He had seen this oppressive aura on Hashirama before, so he was naturally very familiar with it.

Madara's lips curled slightly as he patted the dust off his shoulder and clicked his tongue. Sasuke, who was opposite him, then spoke up.

"I know you're after the Rinnegan, so how about I destroy it now?"

Upon hearing this, Ban subconsciously suppressed his ferocity, but quickly smiled: "No, as long as I'm here, you won't have a chance to destroy it."

Seeing that Madara didn't listen to him at all, Sasuke remained silent for a moment, then said:
"Okay, I'd also like to see the limits of my abilities."

Facing a formidable enemy like Madara, he must not entertain any thoughts of retreat.

Suddenly, Sasuke's aura began to rise steadily!
Before Sasuke could unleash his Sage Mode, Madara leaped towards him, blue chakra traces already beginning to appear around his body.

This is the sign that Susanoo is activated.

The next moment, Sasuke finished forming hand seals, his chest bulged, and a red, glowing dragon was released from his mouth, which kept spinning around the black bead in his hand!

"Immortal Technique: The Technique of Baiji!"

The black bead exploded instantly, emitting a bright light and a piercing sound, causing Ban's body to momentarily stagnate.

It wasn't over yet. Purple skulls began to appear all over Sasuke's body, gradually forming a human shape, and then bone arms grew out of them!

This skeleton is very different from the original work. First, it is larger in size, and second, it has cursed patterns all over its body, which gives all subsequent attacks the effect of magic.

Sage Art: Susanoo!

"Look at this move!"

Sasuke made the skeleton clench its fist, and then slammed its right hand towards Madara's direction!

"boom!!!"

This punch was powerful and heavy, and almost instantly it drove Ban into the ground like a nail being driven in, making a loud noise!

At the same time, the effects of the White Rage Technique gradually dissipated, allowing Sasuke to see the effect of the punch clearly.

The next moment, Sasuke's pupils shrank sharply.

A faint blue light emanated from the deep pit, and a skeletal frame, just like Sasuke's, appeared around Madara's body.

Compared to Sasuke, this skeleton is smaller, lacks a skull, and even has broken bones.

This shows that Sasuke did indeed cause damage to Madara, but it did not threaten Madara's physical body.

"boom!!"

Madara, carrying the blue skull, leaped up and rushed towards Sasuke. Sasuke activated Amaterasu again, but this time he chose to attach it to the purple skull's fist.

"boom!!"

With another punch, Sasuke successfully knocked Madara back, but he himself was also knocked back by the recoil, smashing down countless tree trunks.

Sasuke's face darkened as he looked at Madara's expression.

Madara looked at Sasuke's Susanoo, a smile first forming on his lips, then he seemed unable to hold back and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha...hahahaha!!"

He was laughing wildly.

"It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight, especially with my adorable junior." Madara's smile gradually faded, but a hint of amusement remained on his face.

He was genuinely happy.

After Orochimaru resurrected him using Edo Tensei, all of Madara's battles were one-sided stalemates.

There are no special techniques involved; it's basically all about overwhelming the opponent with sheer numbers.

This may be painful, but for Madara, it was just his daily routine. He often crushed all kinds of people during his lifetime.

Therefore, he craves an equal fight more than anyone else. It doesn't matter if it's not Hasi Hot Mom; he just wants to find someone who can withstand a few of his moves.

Now, Sasuke gives him a sense of being evenly matched.

Although Madara hadn't used his full strength yet, he experienced the raw, primal thrill of battle from his fight with Sasuke.

"Interesting, interesting... Sasuke, let me have some fun with you."

"rise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Madara's Susanoo suddenly changed!
In an instant, his skeleton was fully formed, and flesh grew, along with legs, as he looked down at Sasuke like a pure giant from a giant cave.

"This, this is Susanoo?" Sasuke's forehead was covered in sweat. He hadn't studied his Susanoo too much, since activating the Mangekyou Sharingan would damage his eyes.

"Sasuke, this is the correct way to use Susanoo!"

Madara grinned, and without even activating his complete Susanoo, he caused each of the Susanoo giant's hands to generate a long sword.

"Could fully unleashing one's eye power make Susanoo more perfect...?" Sasuke instantly thought of the scene when he fought Itachi.

The latter's red Susanoo is also dynamically changing, while his own purple Susanoo seems to have remained at the Gulou Tou stage.

"boom!!"

At that moment, a blue longsword carrying a strong wind swung towards Sasuke!
Sasuke gritted his teeth, unleashing his full eye power.

"boom!!!"

The blue longsword was deflected by the purple skull. At that moment, Madara sensed the change in Sasuke's chakra with his Sharingan.

"His Sage Chakra is perfectly integrated with his eye power... He truly is a rare genius."

Ban narrowed one eye, instinctively wanting to win over the junior in front of him.

Having witnessed countless geniuses and heard them call themselves geniuses, Madara has an extremely keen sense for those with great talent.

Next, he saw Sasuke's purple skull begin to improve.

First, it kept growing taller, reaching a height similar to the spot, and then it continued to expand, with its bones becoming increasingly thick.

Then skin formed, and the two holes in the middle of the skull shone with a lively light, as if a pair of wise eyes had truly grown.

Sasuke instantly understood and grasped the usage of his Susanoo.

"boom!!"

The next moment, Sasuke manipulated Susanoo to draw a bow and aimed it at Madara.

It flows so smoothly, as if it were created naturally.

"Heh..." Madara looked at Sasuke quietly, sneered, and suddenly said:
“Sasuke, I can see that you have great potential. Why don’t you come with me? There will be a place for you in the new world.”

Sasuke stopped what he was doing: "There's no point in resorting to underhanded tactics now, is there?"

"No, I'm sincerely inviting you; this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Madara crossed his arms again, but Sasuke couldn't help but feel disgusted by his attitude.

“You and Orochimaru are exactly alike.” Sasuke’s sudden remark made Madara frown.

"Are you conflating me with Orochimaru?" Madara demanded sharply.

Sasuke coldly replied, "Completely the same. First they fought me, then, seeing my potential, they invited me, using either coercion or enticement, but not a single bit of sincerity."

After saying that, he suddenly said softly, "Why don't you learn from Naruto?"

Madara's face darkened completely: "...Naruto?"

For some reason, the moment Sasuke uttered that name, it struck a nerve with Madara.

He had never met this person before, but the fact that his face appeared so frequently in various situations reminded him that this person was extraordinary.

But why do you, Sasuke Uchiha, dare to compare me to Naruto?
Am I really less appealing than Naruto? What a joke!
