Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Madara Uchiha remained seated on the stone chair.

With his extraordinary observational abilities, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan clearly saw all of the mountain scenery's reactions.

The body, which had been split in advance using the Water Transformation Technique, combined with the advanced Water Release: Water Severing Wave that required no hand seals, and the Flying Thunder God Technique that had been previously displayed.

It was only for a fleeting moment of confrontation.

Madara Uchiha had already judged that the guy in front of him was probably stronger than Tobirama Senju back then!

His powerful mental strength brings him powerful illusions, extraordinary nerve reaction speed, remarkable chakra control, outstanding water-style talent, and rare space-time secret techniques.

It was truly unexpected that such a powerful figure could emerge in this era.

only......

"It's a technique that evokes pure disgust in anyone who sees it!"

Madara Uchiha's voice was low and hoarse.

He raised his head slightly to look at the high-pressure water blade that had already severed a corner of the second-stage Susanoo, but was still rapidly pressing down, about to touch the Gedo Mazo behind him.

The power of his pupils and the chakra within his body surged forth like a river bursting its banks.

The body formed by Susanoo's azure chakra solidified rapidly, and the originally visible bones were completely enveloped by the solid chakra.

Madara Uchiha was also lifted to the head of Susanoo by materialized chakra within the massive body that was gradually rising upright.

He seemed like a king looking down on the ants of the human world.

Madara Uchiha remained seated on the stone chair, his expression calm and undisturbed.

But only he himself knows the truth.

Aside from his battle with Hashirama Senju, very few enemies could force him to use this form of Susanoo when facing a small number of opponents.

There is certainly a reason for this: the need to protect the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

But more importantly, it's because he has now lost the ability to move quickly.

Faced with an attack that exceeded the defensive limits of the second stage of Susanoo, he could neither deflect the force by retreating nor avoid the damage by dodging quickly, so he had no choice but to confront it head-on!

Hiss!

The high-pressure water blades rubbed against Susanoo, and the sharp cutting sound made people's eardrums hurt.

Its defensive capabilities suddenly increased by a large margin.

This made the Water Release: Water Severing Wave, which was originally unstoppable, incredibly slow down!

Almost at the moment Susanoo took shape in the third stage.

Four dark blue arms, each wielding a sword, swung towards Shan Zhongjing once more.

Meanwhile, his other two arms began forming hand seals!

Yamanaka Kei stopped the Water Release: Water Severing Wave attack the moment Susanoo acted.

Take a deep breath and clap your hands together again.

"Water Release: Great Explosive Water Breakthrough!"

It opened its mouth and spewed a violent wave of water towards the ground.

As he leaped into the air, the water he spat out onto the ground accelerated his ascent.

He barely managed to dodge the two giant chakra swords that were slashing at him from opposite directions.

The burst of water also created a giant wave tens of meters high, rushing towards Uchiha Madara and the Gedo Mazo behind him!

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

The fiery waves surging from Susanoo's mouth collided with the water waves bursting through the Great Explosion Water, creating a cloud of water mist!

The water surged and roared, the scorching currents rose!

The evaporated water vapor quickly filled the entire mountain cemetery.

Even with the power of his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, Madara Uchiha was unable to spot the enemy in the thick fog immediately.

Shadow Clone Technique!

Shan Zhongjing clapped his hands, and a shadow clone appeared on the spot.

He then swiftly used his water-transformation technique to merge into the water flow generated by the massive explosion beneath his feet.

Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade!

The shadow clone swiftly moved, and in the blink of an eye, a spiral-shaped water spear took shape on its right hand as it opened and closed its palms.

With a few leaps, he soared through the thick mist, his figure rising into the sky, his hard vortex water blade striking Susanoo's face!

"Using shadow clones marked with the Flying Thunder God symbol to launch attacks, combined with hard vortex water blades, and after hitting the opponent, the main body launches a second attack with the Flying Thunder God Slash. It's an old and boring tactic."

Madara Uchiha's eye power was enough to see through Hashirama Senju's Wood Release clones, and he saw through Yamanaka Kei's shadow clones at a glance.

When Tobirama Senju used this technique, he killed countless members of the Uchiha clan.

His younger brother, Izuna, also died from the Flying Thunder God Slash.

Back then, how many members of the Uchiha clan didn't know the Hard Vortex Water Blade technique?

They actually used this trick against him?

Was it ignorance, or an attempt to provoke his anger?

Boom!

The giant chakra blade in Susanoo's hand clashed with the hard vortex water blade in the shadow clone's hand.

The waterspout, compressed to its limit, was released and instantly expanded.

The sharp, spinning water blades rubbed and collided with Susanoo's giant blade, generating a series of ear-piercing buzzing sounds!

Just as the two forces were locked in a stalemate, Susanoo's other arm, wielding a giant chakra blade, slashed down once more.

bang~

The water jets created by the hard vortex water blades were cleaved into a shower of water.

The remaining two arms of Susanoo had already been completed with hand seals!

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

A giant fireball, as large as a meteorite, hurtled towards the location where the hard vortex water blades were spreading.

If the scene in the mountains is as Madara Uchiha imagined, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear at the location of the shadow clone from before.

They would probably be burned to ashes in an instant by this massive fire technique!

Boom!

The giant fireball landed, the flames exploded and scattered, turning into a scorching sea of ​​fire.

It collided once again with the large lake that Yamanaka Kei had previously created using water escape techniques, stirring up even more smoke.

Smoke once again enveloped the entire bottom of the pit.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes. He seemed to have only seen a shadow clone that was engulfed by the Great Fire Annihilation and turned into chakra smoke.

They pinpointed his location precisely in the thick fog and, based on Susanoo's movements, anticipated that they could no longer use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

That's an incredible speed of neural reaction!

Uchiha's lips curled into a slightly amused and mocking smile. This kind of battle is more like it!

However... the true form has still not been revealed. Is the target the Gedo Mazo?

Susanoo leaped suddenly from the thick fog created by the collision of Fire Release and Water Release.

The distance, which had unknowingly increased by nearly a hundred meters, was rapidly shortened by this one jump.

Madara Uchiha easily guessed from his experience of countless life-and-death battles on the battlefield that the vanished enemy must have headed towards the Gedo Mazo!

After all, the tube connecting him to the Gedo Mazo has remained behind him ever since the start of the battle.

In theory, the pipes extending from the Gedo Mazo could easily span a kilometer with enough chakra, and their hardness far surpasses that of ordinary people.

But this guy can even cut through the second stage of Susanoo!

"Tsk! That's a quick reaction!"

With his perception pushed to its limit, Shan Zhongjing clearly captured Susanoo's every move through the dense fog created by the collision of Fire Release and Water Release.

Madara Uchiha understood better than anyone how important the Gedo Mazo was to him.

In the original work, under the control of the other party, the chains shot from this thing's mouth could directly cross a distance of thousands of meters and put shackles on the necks of the nine tailed beasts.

God knows how long that tube that supplies life energy to the other party can extend!

Simply engaging in combat to dictate the battlefield is probably not very effective.

So the best solution is to get rid of this thing!

There is no Rinnegan.

Even if Madara Uchiha had immense abilities, he couldn't possibly summon the Gedo Mazo back directly.

Anyone whose life is threatened will unleash amazing fighting power.

A final burst of energy before death, a cornered beast's desperate struggle, a last-ditch effort, a blow delivered with lingering resentment...

Our ancestors' wisdom tells us that enemies are often the most formidable at times like these!

Moreover, Madara Uchiha was no ordinary person.

If this guy fights desperately...

Well, the real test for the system has arrived!

As for the scenery in the mountains.

Can't I just eat some plums when I have nothing to do?

Even the Nine-Tailed Fox said he didn't dare to confront it head-on.

Is it wrong for him not to confront Madara Uchiha, who had utterly defeated the Nine-Tails' mother, head-on?
