I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 772: Was there any rehearsal of the scene of reuniting with someone you haven't seen in a long time?

"It's hard to believe that the chakra within you is almost the same as that of the reanimated body."

On the battlefield, Madara Uchiha looked at Kijin with a hint of excitement. Kijin's cloak, made of the power of the tailed beast, was slightly mottled, like a Buddha statue that had fallen into disrepair.

Since the start of the battle, Madara Uchiha has drained an unknown amount of chakra from him. If Tatsuma hadn't used [Analysis and Erosion] and Wood Release to absorb it back, he might have been exhausted by now.

Although the chakra in his body is still far from being depleted, Madara Uchiha has almost completely replaced it.

Madara Uchiha absorbed a large amount of chakra from him. Thanks to the characteristics of the Edo Tensei body, Madara Uchiha did not need to replenish his chakra, and naturally did not need to use this chakra.

This is not good news for Tatsuma or the Allied Shinobi Forces.

Although the power of the Tailed Beast was taken away, it does not mean that Tatsuma lost the talent he received from the Tailed Beast, and the lost portion of the Tailed Beast chakra can be recovered after the battle.

After all, Tatsuma is now a humanoid mini-Ten-Tails, so refining this chakra is a piece of cake for him, and he can afford to waste it.

But using up chakra and having it stolen are two different things.

Especially since it was taken away by Madara Uchiha, who aimed to collect the power of the Tailed Beasts, Obito had already prepared a considerable amount of energy for the Ten-Tails.

Even the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails should have obtained some through the reanimated Brubi and Kinkaku, but they are still lacking some.

But now, those things that were lacking, perhaps Madara Uchiha has already taken away from Tatsuma.

Once the two have bought themselves enough time to summon the Gedo Mazo, they can inject that portion of chakra into the Gedo Mazo at any time, reviving it into the Ten-Tails.

"Like me, you are completely immune to chakra attacks; only physical attacks can harm us. But you seem to lack such means."

Madara Uchiha raised his head, looking down at the wooden doll with an undisguised arrogance on his face. As he finished speaking, the dark clouds covering the night suddenly parted, and an enormous meteorite was falling.

"The Heavenly Obstruction Star!"

"This is bad."

The wooden man gritted his teeth. Tatsuma sensed the difficulty of the situation. He could withstand this meteorite, and even if Madara Uchiha summoned a second meteorite as in the original story, Tatsuma could still withstand it.

The problem is that even with three heads and six arms, he couldn't defend against Madara Uchiha's attacks while supporting the meteorite.

Perhaps Madara Uchiha would enjoy watching other people's clumsy performances with great interest, but Tatsuma felt that Madara Uchiha would not let him off the hook. Perhaps the moment he stood up and supported the meteorite, Madara Uchiha would cut him in half.

"Fourth Hokage! Please leave the meteorite to me! A mere meteorite is something I can easily deal with if I feel like it."

Just as Chenma was weighing his options, a figure flew over and landed on the wooden figure's shoulder, which was now occupied by three heads, leaving only a small empty space.

"Sasuke?"

Seeing that Tobirama Senju had kept his disciple hidden for so long, Tatsuma pondered for a moment and then said, "Don't underestimate him."

"It was just an attack launched by remnants of an old era."

Sasuke leaped again, heading towards the falling meteorite, while Kijin also pounced on Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, taking advantage of Madara's momentary lapse in concentration to deliver punches or slaps to the Susanoo's head.

"snort!"

But Madara Uchiha recovered quickly. He only glanced at the person who looked just like his younger brother before controlling his Susanoo to fight the wooden dummy, saying, "What a disgrace to the Uchiha."

"boom!"

As the two giants battled, the sky was filled with purple chakra light.

"Another giant has appeared!"

Below, among the crowd who had been spared thanks to Gaara's protection, someone cried out in surprise.

Gaara also looked up at the young man who had been constantly challenging him in terms of defensive strength recently.

"Sasuke? If it were Naruto, it would be no problem at all, but with Sasuke..."

"Susanoo!"

Just as Gaara was muttering to himself, the purple chakra light finally took shape, and a chakra giant appeared, clenching his hands in the air as black flames rose.

"Amaterasu!"

"Scorching Release! Kagutsuchi! Flame Thunder God Sword!"

With its kaleidoscope eyes spinning, Amaterasu's fire appeared and condensed into a giant sword. The purple giant's body arched backward and then slashed down fiercely at the oncoming meteor.

"Click click click~"

A crack appeared on the meteorite and spread rapidly. Sasuke closed his eyes, his Susanoo disappeared, and Sasuke formed hand seals as he fell.

"Ninja Art! Summoning Jutsu!"

"Bang!"

A giant ninja hawk appeared beneath him and caught Sasuke as he fell. Sasuke opened his eyes again and looked at the meteorite in the sky.

"Bang!"

Like a bomb detonated with a delayed fuse, the entire meteorite exploded. Sasuke stood proudly atop the ninja hawk, head held high, and declared, "Uchiha Madara, nothing special!"

Madara Uchiha, who was struggling with Tatsuma, turned pale and glared at Sasuke with his Rinnegan, which resembled the cross-section of an onion. Tatsuma sensed something was wrong and slapped Susanoo's face, but it seemed to be too late.

"Planetary Devastation!"

The falling meteorite fragments suddenly stopped, and a small gravitational ball passed through the outer shell of Susanoo, through the gaps between the wooden puppet's fingers, and flew rapidly toward Sasuke.

Sasuke, caught up in Uchiha's maniacal laughter, didn't notice that when he finally realized what was happening, he was surrounded by countless fragments of meteorite.

"唳~"

"Bang!"

The ninja hawk beneath his feet vanished, and meteorite fragments descended upon Sasuke at that moment. Lightning and fire raged, but they did not shatter the Planetary Devastation. As more and more meteorite fragments were attracted, even the shattered mountains on the ground were drawn towards the sky.

The three-headed, six-armed wooden figure was shaking its head regretfully. Indeed, it shouldn't have trusted the overconfident Sasuke.

Sasuke can actually be quite reliable, unless he's in a state of overconfidence.

"really."

Gaara shook his head, and with a wave of his hand, countless yellow sand and gold dust were attracted into the air. Although he was not happy about it, what could he do when Sasuke was his comrade?

"Tsuchikage."

"Go ahead and do it. I can still protect these people for the time being."

Onoki nodded, and Gaara no longer hesitated. He stretched out his hands, palms facing the reassembled meteorite, and then veins appeared on his hands, neck, and even forehead.

"Don't let it turn into mincemeat!"

Gaara pulled hard with both hands, and countless gold dust covering the fragments of the meteorite were pulled away, like a sliced ​​watermelon, revealing a tiny fan-shaped window in the meteorite.

Seeing the purple chakra light in the center, Gaara breathed a slight sigh of relief; at least he was still alive.

"From now on! Don't say I taught you!"

At the center of the meteorite, Sasuke, who was maintaining his Susanoo and resisting the meteorite's pressure as much as possible, suddenly heard an angry voice filled with disappointment and frustration.

"Nidaime-sama?"

Upon seeing Tobirama Senju appear, Sasuke's face showed embarrassment. Tobirama Senju, however, didn't bother to look at him again. Instead, he abandoned control of his body and let the gravity pull him closer to the gravity sphere.

Below, the two giants who had been locked in a fierce struggle each took a few steps back, but did not fight any further. Uchiha Madara looked down at the ground and saw the figure wearing red armor.

"."

Below, Hashirama Senju also raised his head, his face serious, but his eyes were full of remembrance.

"Hashirama?!"

"Motor!!"
