Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 218 Death...Dead

The two had been fighting for quite some time.

No matter how strong or complex the chakra nature transformation of Susanoo is, after several close-range battles, Li Yao was able to sense and replicate it.

"How is that possible?!"

After Li Yao erased the fluctuations of Madara's will from his soul, what happened to Li Yao once again made Madara's face show an expression of disbelief.

Susanoo is an exclusive ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

This isn't like those chakra nature fusion bloodline limits that can be copied so easily.

The reason he was able to activate Susanoo with his three-tomoe Sharingan was because his Mangekyou Sharingan had evolved into the Rinnegan.

But that guy Li Yao.

First, he doesn't have Sharingan.

Second, the body he possessed was not from the Uchiha clan.

How did he do that?

Ban believed he could not possibly be mistaken.

The Susanoo that Li Yao conjured was exactly the same as his own; it couldn't be fake, much less just a simple chakra modeling imitation.

That aura of destruction cannot be faked.

Li Yao actually used the ultimate destruction ninjutsu that only the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can master - Susanoo.

"How about it? My Susanoo," Li Yao said with a smile.

"Then let's see who's stronger!" The proud Madara couldn't stand such mockery. Immediately, five Susanoo leaped up, and twenty huge blades slashed at Li Yao's Susanoo.

He refused to believe that without the Sharingan, Li Yao's cloned Susanoo could be as powerful as his own.

Faced with the attack of five Susanoo, Li Yao dared not be careless. With a thought, the three-headed, six-armed Susanoo instantly shrank by one size, and the extra chakra immediately condensed into six circular shields on its six arms to protect itself.

A sharp, metallic clang suddenly rang out.

Boom... A terrifying shockwave exploded from Susanoo's blade and circular shield, and the entire barrier was like a super typhoon, with car-sized rubble flying everywhere.

High in the sky, Xiao Yezi's paper bird wobbled precariously as she struggled to control her body and squinted at the battlefield below.

bump!

A rock the size of a house came crashing down, and White Zetsu quickly hid underground and resurfaced in another spot.

"Li Yao... how on earth did that guy do it???"

White Zetsu was completely dumbfounded. He had always known that Li Yao had a great talent for ninjutsu. He could learn the ninjutsu of any ninja he fought just by looking at it, and he could even learn it without seeing the complete hand seals.

But that only refers to basic elemental ninjutsu and ninjutsu that fuse elemental chakra.

It resembles the Shikotsumyaku (Corpse Bone Pulse), the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, and the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

These are not bloodline limits of attribute chakra fusion, and can be learned through study.

Things that can be learned through study, such as Dust Release, can be learned by Onoki and the Second Tsuchikage, who are not from the same family.

These types of bloodline limits can be learned through study.

White Zetsu always believed that Li Yao's ninjutsu talent was only manifested in this aspect, and that he could only learn this type of bloodline limit that combines chakra attributes.

Li Yao could not possibly learn the bloodline limit that requires a specific bloodline to awaken.

This is why he and Ban had never taken Li Yao seriously before.

No matter how many chakra fusion-type bloodline limits Li Yao possesses, he is nothing more than a lamb to the slaughter in the face of the Rinnegan and Susanoo's combined offense and defense.

However, Li Yao has now managed to copy and use Susanoo without having the Sharingan or the bloodline of the Uchiha clan.

How is that possible?

This completely breaks through Bai's worldview of absolute bloodline supremacy.

He had absolutely no idea how Li Yao had managed to do it.

"Hahaha……"

As the smoke cleared, according to the law of no harm from smoke, Li Yao was indeed unharmed, as was Susanoo, whose circular shield blocked Madara's Susanoo blade attack.

His loud laughter sounded so grating to Ban's ears at that moment.

But Ban made no comment and did not continue to attack; he had already seen the reality clearly.

Right now, he really can't do anything about Li Yao.

This is also why Li Yao laughed so heartily.

After the battle, he finally understood Madara's strength at this stage, and the last trace of fear he had of Madara completely disappeared.

He had previously worried that Madara might suddenly use some strange Six Paths techniques to catch him off guard and kill him instantly.

Now it seems that the Naruto world is quite normal, without any weirdness or many self-destructive techniques like the Reaper Death Seal.

Madara's fighting style is still the same as that shown in the original work.

After failing to defeat Li Yao with basic ninjutsu, he had no choice but to pilot a Gundam and control Susanoo to attack.

But once he blocks Susanoo, just like Hashirama blocked Susanoo with the Wood Release: Wood Puppet Technique, Madara's power ends there.

Now Li Yao is quite certain that as long as the amount of chakra is equal, Madara cannot kill him, but with Dust Release, he has a high chance of successfully killing Madara.

Simply put, Li Yao is now just waiting for the chakra of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique and the chakra of his storage space to successfully fuse within his body.

Then it will be his turn to hunt down Madara Uchiha.

"Li Yao!!!"

Madara shouted, "I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge your strength. You are qualified to be my collaborator. You must also be filled with disappointment in this world."

"You, the test subject, the Uzumaki clan woman beside you, and Nagato—you are all victims of this cruel ninja world..."

Seeing that he couldn't kill Li Yao, and fearing that Li Yao would leak their information, Madara started using his persuasive skills, trying to win Li Yao back by talking about his experiences, so that he could carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan with him and create a world without conflict.

Li Yao listened quietly without disturbing him, seemingly taking Ban's nonsense to heart.

To be honest, Madara's talk-no-jutsu... is no good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have left Konoha alone back then and been betrayed by his own clan.

Li Yao pretended to listen, but his mind was constantly accelerating the fusion of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique chakra and the storage space chakra.

"It's done!"

Just as Li Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, Madara ended his verbal sparring and asked Li Yao, "So, how about joining the Eye of the Moon Project?"

"Ah...this feeling!"

Li Yao ignored, or rather, didn't pay attention to, Madara's words. He was already immersed in the wonderful experience brought about by the new chakra obtained after the fusion of the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique chakra and the storage space chakra.

"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!"

This is how Li Yao feels right now.

Whoops!

Li Yao's Susanoo transformed into a black stream of water and quickly entered his body.

Li Yao floated in mid-air, his eyes closed, experiencing an unprecedented power within him, much like Blackbeard who had obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit during the Marineford War. The feeling of that world-destroying power surging through his body was so wonderful that he completely disregarded the renowned Uchiha Madara.

This contemptuous attitude and behavior.

Can Banji tolerate this?

Even Hashirama in his prime wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in front of him. Li Yao, relying on his old age and the absence of his Rinnegan, dares to despise him like this. This is intolerable!

"Storm Release: Light Fang!"

Zzzzzzzzzzz!

In an instant, five sharp white beams of light shot out from the mouths of Ban's White Zetsu clone and Shadow Clone, easily sweeping across Li Yao's body.

Li Yao didn't dodge!

This scene left both Madara and White Zetsu stunned.

"Dead...dead!"

Ban really didn't expect the reversal to happen so quickly.

Bai Jue breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Ok!

Thankfully, Li Yao is dead.

Otherwise... he didn't even dare to think about what would happen next.
