I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 423 Madara Uchiha Under Attack by a Gathering of Attacks

"Hashiramar!"

"Madara!"

With a do-or-die mentality, Madara Uchiha charged madly toward his true enemy, attempting to steal the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki and seize its chakra amidst a dozen or so Kage-level ninjas.

But when he saw the living Hashirama Senju, and that silly smiling face he thought he had long forgotten, all thoughts of the Nine-Tails and Ten-Tails vanished.

This is Hashirama Senju, alive and well, completely different from the Edo Tensei Hashirama covered in wounds.

Madara Uchiha could suppress his reluctance and fight against the reanimated Hashirama, but when faced with the living Hashirama Senju, his heart simply couldn't harden.

Hashirama Senju was Madara Uchiha's true love. Fifty years ago, during that fight, both of them were bleeding. Both sides showed mercy more than once, which dragged the fight to the point where they were both exhausted.

If Hashirama Senju hadn't gritted his teeth and made a tough decision at the last moment, their standoff would have continued for who knows how many days, and would have inevitably ended in mutual destruction.

Now that the two have been resurrected, no matter how much mental preparation they did beforehand, or how much they vowed to beat each other to a pulp, the moment they saw each other in person...

Their eyes were fixed on each other, and their hearts were filled with guilt.

Then, the two heroes who founded Konoha called out each other's names with complicated and inexplicable emotions.

The terrifying atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became breezy.

Kushina saw her grandmother roll her eyes, but her intuition and the Nine-Tails within her seemed to see a roaring white tiger, which frightened her and the Nine-Tails into trembling.

Even Masayo Miwa sensed something was amiss; a few hairs on the tips of his ears stood up as he looked at the smiling Mito Uzumaki.

Mito Uzumaki reached out and grabbed her adopted granddaughter. The Nine-Tails, sealed within, let out a scream. Eight dark gold chains bound it even tighter, then contracted inch by inch, extracting the tailed beast's chakra from its body like an ancient method of pressing rapeseed oil.

Having obtained a quarter of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Mito Uzumaki suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

In particular, Madara Uchiha, after sensing the Nine-Tails' chakra, finally shifted his attention from Hashirama Senju to Mito Uzumaki, whom he greatly feared.

The red-haired beauty calmly raised her hands and gently brushed them across her two bun hair ornaments. The Nine-Tails' chakra was transformed into countless black runes, which flowed out like a flood, covering the earth and sky.

Suddenly, all the runes disappeared, transforming into a bright, bowl-shaped barrier that firmly sealed off an area with a diameter of 16 kilometers.

As per the pre-arranged runes, this barrier also became a marker for Uchiha Yu to lock onto the battlefield. His attention began to shift, and he slowly built up a spatial barrier.

The first thing to control is the inward spatial transmission.

However, an important component of a ninja's combat power is summoning beasts, and summoning is also a form of spatial teleportation. Therefore, Uchiha Yu specially issued a countdown that everyone could hear, telling all Konoha ninjas: If you need a summoning beast, please do so as soon as possible.

Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Minato exchanged a glance, looking at each other with awkward silence. Their summoning beasts had all been wiped out.

Only Tsunade could summon a portion of the Slug Sage and distribute it among the ninjas participating in the battle.

The Slug Sage can provide timely healing and instant communication, making it the best combat booster.

Tsunade's actions reminded Madara Uchiha of the impending sealing of summoning jutsu, but the confident man didn't care.

He was very confident in his summoning abilities, firmly believing that sealing techniques could not stop the Rinnegan's summoning, let alone prevent the Gedo Mazo from entering or leaving.

Moreover, while other ninjas use summoning as a tactic, Madara Uchiha's summoning is his last resort; there's no reason for him to use a death-defying move right from the start.

Madara Uchiha activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, arrogantly raised his chin, and proudly gazed at the barrier, waiting for the countdown to end.

He even said, "That voice sounds familiar...it's Uchiha Yu, isn't it? Now that you're back, why don't you come and see me?"

Uchiha Yu's voice echoed calmly: "It's a pity, Uchiha Madara, you were resurrected too late. We are no longer on the same level, and there is no way we can have a second battle."

Madara Uchiha sneered: "An excuse! A coward's excuse!"

"I……"

Madara Uchiha's words were interrupted by Masase Miwa.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the abnormal flow of time reappeared. Miwa Masayo frowned and walked up to Uchiha Madara. His fair and delicate fist slowly swung up and hit Uchiha Madara squarely in the face.

Everyone, including Madara Uchiha, clearly saw the whole process, but apart from Masayo Miwa, no one could make any physical reaction; at most, they could only move their eyes.

Everyone just watched as Masayo Miwa threw a punch, and Madara Uchiha's face rippled like water as he turned his head, causing his neck and body to turn and fly up.

The fist struck the spot where the teeth loosened, slowly detaching from the gums and flying away, leaving Madara Uchiha's mouth with a trail of blood.

Once the flow of time returned to normal, Madara Uchiha tumbled and flew nearly a hundred meters before Masayo Miwa's voice reached everyone's ears.

"Uchiha Madara, you are no longer worthy to fight with my Yu. Let me play with you, meow."

"But meow, can you beat me, meow?"

Madara Uchiha was filled with shock and rage. His face was contorted with rage, and his two red Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan were so red they seemed to drip blood. He suddenly unleashed his azure Susanoo.

He couldn't understand the bizarre situation that had just occurred, so he decided to use his absolute strength to crush Miwa Masayo Sage.

Just as the Susanoo, which was a hundred meters tall, was fully formed, the anomaly in the flow of time reappeared.

Miwa Masayo rubbed her aching forehead and took a series of steps forward, transforming from a little girl with long, straight black hair into a fit and muscular tiger girl, then into a giant tiger with stripes 18 meters tall, and finally swelled to a height comparable to Susanoo.

The giant tiger lazily approached Susanoo, and with a single claw, it tore open Susanoo's body, pulling Madara Uchiha out from inside.

Time returned to normal, but Madara Uchiha was now trampled under the giant tiger's feet, which even spun and ground against him.

Then, Miwa Masayo reverted to her little girl form, clutching her head and meowing, complaining of a headache.

The eerie, sophisticated, and high-class battle atmosphere instantly collapsed, leaving everyone bewildered.

When Uchiha Yu saw this scene, he was so happy he almost overturned the world's fish tank.

The previous battle scenes depicted his dream of fighting, much like the battles fought by the Time Bureau in the American TV series "Loki," where he manipulated the enemy's timeline to make them feel that terrifying despair.

Unfortunately, only after truly mastering the power of time did Uchiha Yu realize that it was almost impossible.

To manipulate the flow of time so freely requires an energy intensity and control that is far beyond imagination; it is something he could hardly do on his own.

It wasn't until he traversed time for a thousand years, perfected the fundamental laws of the Golden Core, survived the last calamity of the current world, and even broke through the limitations of dimensions, that Uchiha Yu truly had the ability to divide the flow of time.

However, he himself was powerless to control the scale of specific individuals, and could only entrust his power to his Daoist partner, using his own power as a backing, and only through Miwa Masayo could he barely put it into practice.

Even with Uchiha Yu's full support, it would still be a huge burden on Miwa Masayo, whose mental strain caused her a lot of headaches.

In short, the application of time-manipulation techniques is difficult to apply to real-world combat; time travel, fixed-point restarts, and future rehearsals are far more valuable.

Masashi Miwa showcased his skills for five seconds, knocking out Madara Uchiha's teeth, but then left the arena due to a headache, leaving Madara Uchiha in a rage and out of control.

Faced with Madara Uchiha's red and rapidly spinning Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Fugaku Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, and Ayumi Uchiha responded with their own Mangekyou Sharingan.

Without a word, the four Uchiha unleashed their immense chakra and ocular power, resulting in a fierce clash of ocular strength.

When a kaleidoscope faces another kaleidoscope, its defensive power far exceeds its offensive power, and the difference in eye power makes it unlikely that one can overwhelm the other through illusion.

Once he confirmed that the genjutsu was ineffective, Madara Uchiha immediately constructed Susanoo, intending to fully utilize the advantage of his powerful eye power in the most violent way.

The other three Uchiha had no choice but to construct Susanoo to counter it.

In just one second, the Uchiha clan's civil war reached its climax.

What frustrated Fugaku Uchiha was that among the four Susanoo present, his crimson Susanoo, which was 25 meters tall, was the shortest.

To the right of the red Susanoo is Uchiha Ayumi's pale yellow Susanoo, which is 40 meters tall, while to the left is Uchiha Shisui's dark green Susanoo, which is over 45 meters tall.

Opposite them was Madara Uchiha's blue Susanoo, which was about 60 meters tall. Fugaku's red Susanoo couldn't even reach Madara's hips, and looked so weak and powerless.

In fact it is.

The contest between colossal creatures depends on size, because only greater energy and physical strength can sustain a larger body.

At the very beginning of the battle, after only one fierce clash, Fugaku Uchiha was pushed out of the core of the battle and could only watch helplessly from the outside.

Just like when they were besieged by a team of Kage-level ninjas before, Madara Uchiha's attacks were as fierce as ever, and soon Shisui and Ayumi could hardly withstand them.

Unlike in the past when no one provided support, this time the Konoha Kage-level team included Hashirama Senju.

Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands

The Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, larger than it was 50 years ago, has stood up, and its appearance has also undergone a tremendous change.

The Bodhisattva no longer carries a huge disc with a thousand overlapping hands on his back, but has four heads and four bodies facing four directions. Each body has thousands of hands on its back, arranged in three layers to form the shape of multiple wings.

What made Madara Uchiha uneasy was that in the palm of each of the thousands of hands, there was a clear black and white eye staring at him eerily.

This is the Thousand-Armed, Thousand-Eyed Buddha form suggested by Uchiha Yu, and its application is quite unique.

Hashirama Senju roared, "Uchiha brats, get out of the way!"

The colossal Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Buddha strode forward, its hundred-meter-tall body completely overwhelming the 50-meter-tall blue Susanoo. It looked as if a single stomp would crush Susanoo half to death.

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth and poured all his chakra and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan power into it. The blue Susanoo continued to expand, donning armor, a long-nosed tengu mask, and a pair of enormous wings sprouting from its back.

Susanoo Ultimate Form: Karasu Tengu

When the Tengu's wings were fully formed, Susanoo's height reached 100 meters. Although it was much thinner than the Thousand-Armed Buddha, it had wings that allowed it to fly, making it seem even more advantageous.

But what Madara Uchiha didn't expect was that after the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Buddha came close, he suddenly spread out his body on the left, right and back sides, turning around and surrounding Susanoo.

The Buddha's wing-like hands stretched out from behind him, and more than four thousand hands joined together, forming a fence-like structure that completely trapped Susanoo in a cage.

Hashirama Senju chuckled: "This is what Uchiha Yu meant by 'circling and kicking.' Madara, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's all because the Uchiha are ruthless that you're so unlucky."

Before he finished speaking, four large feet kicked Susanoo's knees from four directions, almost knocking Susanoo over.

Taking advantage of Madara Uchiha's attention shifting downwards, thousands of giant hands loosened their grip, and the eyes in their palms emitted eerie red, white, green, and blue lights, densely patting onto Susanoo's body.

The massive tremor, accompanied by dazzling light, made Madara Uchiha dizzy and even caused him to feel nauseous and vomit for the first time in a long time.

He suppressed his physical discomfort and gritted his teeth as he asked, "Hashirama, where did you learn this disgusting illusion technique?"

Hashirama Senju laughed and said, "Ah, I learned it from Uchiha Yu."

"He said that this eye technique, which does not rely on bloodline limits, is most effective against bloodline limits such as the Byakugan and Sharingan."

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth, chewing on the name: "Uchiha Yu, he deserves to die."

He looked at the three Susanoo present and questioned, "Don't you think there's something wrong with him developing this kind of genjutsu that targets his own bloodline?"

Uchiha Ayumi, a staunch supporter of Uchiha Yu, sneered, "Uchiha Madara, you simply cannot understand the greatness of Brother Yu. Although none of us can learn this technique, we all have simple methods to break the genjutsu."

"Brother Yu developed the Dazzling Eye Illusion Technique specifically to target the enemies and traitors of the Uchiha clan."

As he spoke, he took out a thin contact lens from under his eyelids, showed it off to Madara Uchiha, and then put it back on.

Madara Uchiha then suddenly realized that there were no Hyuga clan ninjas among the Konoha ninjas present, and that he was indeed the only one being targeted.

Enraged, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had Rinnegan.

To his surprise, even the Rinnegan, which could absorb all ninjutsu, was not immune to dazzling genjutsu. The nausea was even more intense, to the point that his stomach acid churned.

Although Madara Uchiha forced it down, his mouth was already filled with a sour taste, and his throat was burning and painful.

"Damn it!"

A bad feeling filled Madara Uchiha's heart. Seeing so many enemies still surrounding him, he lost all his absolute confidence and naturally dared not hold back any longer.

His chakra surged forth, and ignoring the dazzling genjutsu, the Rinnegan forcefully broke through the barrier, attempting to tear open the spatial seal, communicate with the Gedo Mazo, and summon this weapon that had already gathered the chakra of eight tailed beasts.

However, Madara Uchiha failed. His chakra was exceptionally powerful, and with the assistance of Susanoo, he successfully broke through the encirclement of the Thousand-Armed Buddha and tore a gap in Mito Uzumaki's barrier.

However, the power of the Rinnegan was unable to communicate with the Gedo Mazo. Another force of the Rinnegan blocked Madara Uchiha, neutralizing his summoning jutsu.

Madara Uchiha was startled and muttered, "Yu Uchiha... he really is that strong..."

While he was in a daze, Hashirama Senju manipulated the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Buddha to launch an attack. Four thousand large hands with eyes flew up and down, systematically attacking the Susanoo's vulnerable points.

The eye in the palm no longer projects dazzling illusions, but rather ninjutsu from bloodline limits such as Lava Release, Magnet Release, and Boil Release, which erode Susanoo's defenses through penetration.

Madara Uchiha had exhausted a large amount of chakra and ocular power, and was caught off guard by Hashirama Senju's attack, putting him at a disadvantage.

Surrounded by the four Buddhas holding hands, he was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself effectively. His vital parts were repeatedly hit, and Susanoo soon developed cracks.

Susanoo cracked more and more, and finally collapsed with a crisp cracking sound, turning into blue starlight falling all over the sky.

Madara Uchiha, exposed from Susanoo, remained completely calm.

He snorted coldly, and the circle in his Rinnegan rapidly shrank as he unleashed the Preta Path's sealing technique, Absorption Seal. This absorbed a large amount of ninjutsu emitted by the Thousand-Armed Thousand-Eyed Buddha, restoring the ninjutsu to pure chakra and replenishing his own depleted chakra.

He then launched the Divine Expedition of the Heavenly Dao.

The powerful repulsive force slammed into the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Buddha, breaking at least hundreds of arms on the spot, forcibly dismantling the four bodies of the Thousand-Handed and Thousand-Eyed Buddha, and destroying the new version of the true Thousand-Handed Buddha.

Madara Uchiha's attack was effective, and he was naturally overjoyed.

But to his surprise, he couldn't control his excitement and burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha, it's been so long since I've enjoyed a real battle! You guys really entertained me!"

Suddenly, a spark exploded in front of Madara Uchiha, and Masayo Miwa leaped out of the flames, delivering a powerful kick to Madara Uchiha's chest and abdomen without using his time manipulation abilities.

The maniacal laughter abruptly stopped, and Madara Uchiha's body folded over, flying backward.

He was surprised to find that even after being hit, he still felt an overwhelming urge to laugh.

Madara Uchiha was absolutely certain that he was not a masochist and that he should not be happy to be beaten; instead, he should be angry and want to kill the person.

My emotions have been affected; someone is stirring up trouble within me.

He closed his eyes and used his Rinnegan to look into his own mind, and sure enough, he saw soul fluctuations deep within his heart that did not belong to him.

[A blue soul, indeed a forbidden technique—spiritual transformation!]

[I knew it! Nine times out of ten, those disgusting and insidious techniques were Tobirama's doing!]

[Oh, and Uchiha Yu too, what a disgrace to the Uchiha clan!]
