Witty Naruto Life

Chapter 289 Itachi's Eyes, Come Here!
Madara Uchiha looked down at Sasuke, watching the bow and arrow in his hand gradually take shape.

This bow and arrow is thicker than the version in the original work, and it is covered with black runes, a perfect combination of Sage Chakra and Dojutsu.

Ban's heart gradually calmed down.

"It's a pity that, like Hashirama, you rely on vague emotions and sincerity as your nourishment..."

Sasuke aimed his bow and arrow at Madara and said in a deep voice, "Sincerity has the power to move people's hearts. At least compared to you, I'd rather follow Naruto..."

"Sincerity cannot generate power; power is a phenomenon caused by matter," Ban interrupted sharply, his brows furrowed with disdain.

He used this phrase to educate Tsunade during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the anime, and now he's using it to educate Sasuke.

"If something intangible can generate power, then what is this?"

As he spoke, his aura began to rise steadily!
"boom!!"

Madara's hair was completely blown up, and the Susanoo around his body instantly expanded several times, transforming from a humanoid form into a half-body image with a body shell and hand seals, like a god!

It wasn't over yet. Indigo wings and armor stretched outwards in all directions, adapting to the ever-expanding Susanoo.

"boom!!"

A torrent of chakra tore through the sky, and a deep blue giant rose from the ground, its wings whipping up a hurricane.

The samurai armor shimmered with the luster of liquid chakra, and the crystal on Susanoo's forehead gazed down at Sasuke with an air of dominance.

At this moment, the arrow of Susanoo in Sasuke's hand appeared particularly small.

Madara Uchiha at near his peak – you wouldn't know him, seeing him would be like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky.

If you see him, it's like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

In the distance, near Konoha.

"Damn it..." Kakashi, who was leading his team towards Sasuke, saw this horrifying scene, his pupils shrank, and his speed increased instantly.

"Parker, faster!"

The eight ninja dogs at his feet trembled in unison, as if they had encountered their natural enemy.

On the other side, somewhere in the direction Sasuke fled.

"Damn..."

The man gazed at the towering Susanoo in its complete form, then clapped his hands together and stomped his feet on the wooden clogs, pushing his body's potential to its limit.

Sasuke here.

He made the arrow in his hand disappear and murmured softly, "This is... the complete form of Susanoo?"

Cold sweat soaked his upper body, but to buy time, Sasuke raised his voice and shouted:

"Why do you possess such immense power?"

This question caused Madara to stop what he was doing. He narrowed his eyes and said calmly:
"Since you're powerless to change anything now, I'll mercifully tell you,"

"To awaken the complete form of Susanoo, we Uchiha rely on the eye power we possess,"

"But if it's just the Mangekyou Sharingan, repeated use will deplete its power, and sooner or later the darkness will completely rob us of our light, unless..."

"We transplanted someone else's Mangekyou Sharingan, allowing it to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan!"

Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, instantly thinking of Itachi's eyes, which were still kept in Konoha.

"Heh, do you find this power extremely evil?" Madara's lips curled into a slight smile as he said, "It doesn't matter. This world, like the Uchiha clan, is beyond saving."

"So next, I will make my move!"

Madara's eyes widened, and the Susanoo he was piloting instantly swung a sword towards Sasuke!
"It's not here yet..." Sasuke looked at the sudden pale light in front of him, gritted his teeth, let Susanoo completely envelop him, and reached into his pocket for the Rinnegan.

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

"boom!!!"

The moment the sword struck, the mountain behind Sasuke split open from its central axis, revealing lava ravines!

The cracks in the ground stretched for miles, and the shockwaves tore through the clouds.

The sky was cleaved into two burning fragments by the chakra flames of the blade, as if a god had wielded his brush and crushed the heavens and earth into dust.

Madara Uchiha's all-out sword strike severed mountains and rivers.

……

After a long time.

Beneath the tree trunk where Sasuke was originally standing.

The forest area was shattered by the shockwave carrying chakra, leaving only scattered wood chips and loose, dry soil.

Sasuke lay there, and upon closer inspection, his body was covered with fine, hard white scales.

It looks a bit creepy at first glance, but it protects several key parts of his body very well.

However, the situation is still not optimistic. The price of activating this form is that physical activity is severely restricted, and the scales protecting him will absorb a large amount of chakra.

Sasuke's body was in a sprawling, open position, with the vessel containing the Rinnegan slightly broken and lying to the side beside his right arm.

He immediately gathered lightning chakra in his right hand, intending to completely destroy the eye.

"Zizi..."

Just as the sound of lightning rang out, his right hand was firmly stepped on by a foot, interrupting his spellcasting.

Looking up, a tall figure with long hair and red armor blocked the sunlight. Then, he lightly picked up a glass container and examined the Rinnegan inside.

"It's a pity you were just a little short." Madara looked at Sasuke expressionlessly.

In that attack, Madara simultaneously shattered Sasuke's Susanoo and attempted to pierce through his body, but was blocked by his Sage-level physical strength and was not completely severed at the waist.

Without the complete Susanoo, Madara's strength might not have been greater than Sasuke's. However, after mastering Sage Mode, Sasuke developed a path dependency, neglecting further development of the Sharingan.

In addition, he lacked the courage to "gouge out one of his eyes and directly install the Rinnegan," which led to his defeat.

"So, what should we do with you next...?"

Madara's expression visibly relaxed, and his tone became easy, as if it didn't matter to him how Sasuke was dealt with.

He pondered for a moment: "Indeed, I still have to kill you."

Ban did not intend to leave any potential dangers for himself.

Madara took Sasuke's Kusanagi sword and, without even letting Sasuke say his last words, slashed it straight down in his direction!

Suddenly, a loud shout came from in front of him!
"Senpō Goemon!"

In an instant, the immortal seal closed, and a hurricane of oil and fire erupted from San Song's mouth!

The orange-flaming tsunami swept across the ground, and molten lava carrying boiling steam shot into the sky, instantly turning everything it touched into crystallized dust!
Madara glanced sideways, leaped into the air to dodge the attack, and activated Susanoo to completely shield himself from the molten lava.

Then, he looked at the long-haired white man in front of him, holding Sasuke in his arms. Fukasaku and Shima were on his shoulders, and he looked solemnly at Uchiha Madara.

Shima: "They actually managed to resurrect Madara Uchiha using Edo Tensei."

Jiraiya: "It must have been Orochimaru who did it..."

Fukasaku: "Look at his hand, he still managed to retrieve the Rinnegan. What should we do? Should we send Sasuke back to Konoha first, or should we engage him in a prolonged battle?"

Sasuke had previously summoned two lightning clones.

One is used to gather Sage Chakra, and the other is used to call for help.

After realizing that the enemy had completely understood Konoha's intentions, Sasuke did not focus solely on escaping, but instead tried to devise a way to save himself.

He judged that the worst-case scenario was that he would not be able to deal with a powerful enemy, and the only way to survive would be to seek help from outside.

So Sasuke promptly contacted Jiraiya, but unfortunately, he was too late.

Sasuke underestimated the strength of the enemy.

Madara also sized up the white-haired man in front of him: "Sage Mode again? Is Sage Mode worthless in this era?"

At the same time, he sensed a faint movement coming from behind, indicating that Konoha's reinforcements were about to arrive.

He now has two choices: continue fighting to the death to finish off Sasuke, or stop in time.

If Madara were to fight to the death, he would need a comprehensive understanding of all the strong individuals in the world. But right now, he's more interested in a certain person than in Sasuke right in front of him—

Uzumaki Naruto.

This person is clearly the spiritual leader of the enemy in the present world, and destroying him would be even more strategically significant than reclaiming the Rinnegan.

"Om-"

Just then, a distorted and rotating Kamui space appeared beside Madara, and Obito appeared, looking at the Rinnegan in Madara's hand.

"Let's retreat," he whispered in his naturally hoarse voice.

"Hmph," Madara snorted coldly, dissatisfied with Obito's somewhat cowardly performance: "You still overestimate Konoha. There are almost no strong enemies here..."

"Take me to see Naruto Uzumaki, the other Rinnegan must be in him!"

Madara casually tossed the vessel to Obito, who nodded and used Kamui to take Madara away from there.

Jiraiya did not pursue them. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as the pressure from the enemy in front of him was too great.

In fact, he had just experienced a devastating blow and was still shaken.

"Damn...die..."

Suddenly, Sasuke, who was in Jiraiya's arms, spoke.

Then, the snake scales on Sasuke's skin slowly receded. He didn't blame Jiraiya, but instead slowly spoke:

"Take me back to Konoha..."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then gently comforted him, "This is not your fault. In this world, the only one who could deal with Madara Uchiha is probably Lord Hashirama."

But Sasuke simply shook his head: "I let him down..."

Jiraiya was taken aback, then heard a ruthless glint appear on Sasuke's face:
"I'll remember this grudge. Take me back..."

"I want to receive a weasel's eyes!"

……

the other side.

A dense forest somewhere in the north.

The temperature here dropped further, and a few snowflakes were mixed in with the drizzling rain; even a single snowflake landing on the skin would send a shiver down one's spine.

Naruto and his group made contact with the Cloud Village's forces, and now they are heading towards their base together.

Suddenly, a cute little snake crawled out of Naruto's arms, perched on his shoulder, and spoke.

"Naruto, there are a few things you need to know," came Anko's voice from the little snake.

Naruto and Sakura exchanged a glance, then called out to Neji ahead. They stopped in their tracks, a bad feeling rising in their hearts.

"The first thing is that Madara Uchiha stole the Rinnegan that Sasuke was keeping,"

Naruto was stunned and speechless for a moment, but Sakura reacted first and asked, "Did you observe that Madara had activated the Rinnegan?"

"What?" Hongdou was stunned.

Sakura pressed further, "Wasn't Madara Uchiha resurrected through Edo Tensei? Did he awaken the Rinnegan during the battle?"
