I'm drawing manga in Naruto

Madara instantly unleashed Susanoo within the illusion.

No joke, this is a truly deadly illusion, and Madara senses something is wrong; its effect seems to surpass that of the ordinary illusory horse illusion.

Boom~

The Calamity of Ten Thousand Swords was so powerful that even Susanoo could not withstand it.

Moments later, Susanoo shattered.

But at the same time...

Ban broke free of the illusion, barely managing to escape. Although he suffered some damage before escaping the illusion, the effect replicated in reality wasn't that terrifying; he only had a few wounds.

Its power is much stronger than before.

"What a horrible illusion!"

Black Zetsu clicked his tongue in surprise.

Even Madara was injured to this extent by the illusion technique, which shows how powerful Akabane's illusion technique is.

of course.

The plaque fused with the interstitial cells; damage at this level posed no real threat, and the wound healed completely in just two breaths.

"Only this much effect?"

Akabane frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.

This effect is completely ineffective against Madara; at most, it can only restrain him, and killing him is virtually impossible.

At this moment, Ban had already left the cave and was heading this way.

Not only him, but besides Madara, two other figures rushed over from the direction of Sunagakure and from another place.

One-Tailed and Six-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

ambush?

It seems that Madara was prepared and knew that he would come.

but……

You ambush me, I'll steal your house!

Akabane activated the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, breaking the Yin Seal, and used Sage Chakra to power the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, launching a long-range bombardment using Enel's God's Judgment technique.

Immortal Techniques: Divine Punishment.

Above the cave he sensed, dark clouds filled the sky and silver light danced wildly. In just a moment, Madara abandoned his idea of ​​killing Akabane and instantly teleported to the sky above the cave.

Akabane aimed at the Gedo Mazo!

Boom~

A pillar of lightning descended from the sky.

Madara activated his Rinnegan, summoning four Limbo clones, who simultaneously activated their Susanoo to stand to the side, while he himself used Wood Release ninjutsu to begin his defense.

Layer upon layer of Wood Release forms a protective layer, while the four clones watch over Susanoo to absorb the damage, and Madara himself activates the power of his fan and Rinnegan to absorb and reflect the damage...

boom!

With a single strike, the Wood Release was completely destroyed, and the Susanoo on the Limbo clone was also completely destroyed. Madara himself was unharmed, but a distant mountain was blasted into dust and rubble by the rebounding force.

"The Demonic Statue of the Heretic is fine."

Black Zetsu immediately reported.

"Ah."

Madara narrowed his eyes slightly—in his perception, Akabane had already left.

Why has Kurama Akabane's illusion magic become so powerful?

Ban found it very strange.

Last time we met, Akabane's illusions could only slightly restrain him, but now they can actually cause damage. This rate of progress is truly abnormal.

Could it be that those spineless cowards even sold their Sharingan?

Madara thought of a possibility, but then felt it was unlikely. Even if Uchiha Genkai was stupid, he wouldn't do something so foolish. Besides, this kind of genjutsu wasn't difficult to break; it would only cause some damage.

That level of damage would be repaired in a matter of moments, given the regenerative capacity of the interstitial cells.

Compared to this, the Flying Thunder God Technique is clearly more troublesome.

Space-time ninjutsu is difficult to counter.

If it weren't for this technique, Kurama Akabane would have died eight hundred times over in his hands.

Also.

Did that short video really contain a hidden message?

Ban had not forgotten his previous act of "splitting the mountain to save his mother".

After a moment, he became certain of one thing—although Akabane launched the attack, that illusion must be real.

Madara had no intention of pursuing the Flying Thunder God Technique and quickly sent White Zetsu to call the Jinchuriki back.

If it weren't for the Flying Thunder God Technique, Akabane wouldn't have dared to come and cause such a ruckus.

He cherishes his life and doesn't want to die at Madara's hands. Otherwise, with his current strength, he could have fought Madara long ago, instead of testing him time and time again.

To put it bluntly, it's just cowardice.

However, Akabane didn't think there was any problem. He had finally been reborn and had a system as a cheat, so why should he compete with others in terms of skill? Wouldn't it be better to just play defensively, develop his character, and fight in team battles?

This trip is just to test the waters.

His own illusions were already effective against Madara, but they couldn't pose a real threat. Continuing to improve his mental strength was a good option. Once he reached a level that Madara was wary of, his illusions would be truly effective.

In haste, Akabane did not jump directly to Sakumo, but instead flew to a mark he had made in advance and then recovered his chakra there.

Not far from the border, Akabane recovered his chakra and was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique when he discovered that Sakumo had come looking for him first.

Flying Thunder God Approaches.

Sakumo wasn't surprised; he had already discovered Akabane, so Akabane's perception abilities must have been able to detect him as well.

"Walk."

Sakumo assumed that Akabane was exhausted and that was why he was resting here, so he pulled him along and tried to back away.

"No need, I don't have much chakra to burn. I'll just take you back to the camp."

After Akabane finished speaking, he led him directly back to the camp.

The coordinates are near Danzo.

Just then, Danzo was in a meeting...

"Akaba, you're back?"

"How's it going!"

"Don't rush, let him catch his breath."

As a disciple of Danzo, seeing the other village leaders continuing to question him, he immediately shouted to stop their chaotic behavior.

Inside the cramped tent, all the leaders of the ninja villages had gathered.

Akabane looked around.

This saved him the trouble of explaining it again. After catching his breath, he explained, "I discovered Madara's whereabouts and tried to attack him with illusion and sage techniques, but with little effect."

"Using illusion magic against Madara, you..."

The Third Mizukage was about to say that Akabane was unwise, but he stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, and then sat there blankly.

Obviously.

He was under a spell.

The next second, with a "whoosh," a bloody sword shot out from the Third Mizukage's body, and his injury looked quite serious.

However, Akabane treated him immediately, and the wound healed quickly.

"The illusionary magic of the Kurama clan!"

Chiyo took a deep breath.

However, that doesn't matter. Everyone knows that Akabane has mastered the five senses of the Kurama clan and can turn illusion into reality, but apart from Danzo, no one knows that his genjutsu has reached the point of easily defeating the Five Kage.

The Third Mizukage remained expressionless.

Although he was annoyed by being stepped on by a junior, he had been having bad luck ever since he arrived in the Land of Rivers, and he had gotten used to it by now.

Moreover, Akabane's illusion techniques are indeed very strong and terrifying; in terms of strength, he is probably even stronger than the Five Kage.

Konoha actually has such a genius...

He was secretly shocked.

"The illusion I used on Madara was hundreds of times stronger than this."

Akabane said calmly.

"What? Impossible!"

The Third Mizukage's expression immediately changed.

In the illusion just now, he was attacked by a hundred swords, each one incredibly powerful. Although he used Water Release ninjutsu to defend and dodge, he was still hit.

A hundred times stronger...

"In short, Madara is very strong, and the Rinnegan can absorb ninjutsu. He can also transfer the damage he suffers to his Limbo clones. I suggest that you do not take the initiative to attack, but wait for the right opportunity."

Akabane glanced at the map Chiyo had spread out as he spoke.

Chiyo and the others had originally analyzed Madara's possible hiding places and marked several guessed locations, one of which was where Madara was hiding.

It must be said that these people should not be underestimated.

Akabane sighed inwardly, then pointed to one of the red dots and said, "Madara is right here."

"There are many natural caves here, but few people have ventured into them since the great war. The location is indeed very secluded, but we cannot rule out the possibility that Madara moved the location after being discovered."

Ebizo thought for a few seconds before speaking.

"If there's nothing else... I'll go and rest now."

Akabane rubbed his temples.

That divine punishment technique contained all of Madara's Sage Chakra, yet even with that level of attack, it failed to cause Madara much damage; the damage transfer from the four Limbo clones was too powerful.

Four times the damage reduction, and the Limbo clone also has Susanoo...

The issue of the Wheel of Death clone must be resolved first.

However, Limbo clones are also a space-time ninjutsu. Although Mito Uzumaki could seal them, she could not completely limit them. After a period of time, Madara could still summon them.

Therefore, the key is still to look at yourself.

Akabane pondered to himself, and after leaving the tent with Sakumo, he casually popped a few soldier rations into his mouth, then quickly digested them with the aid of his life.

"Is Madara's strength really that terrifying?"

Shuo Mao was somewhat unwilling.

If things were really like in the manga, even if he learned Lightning Release to protect himself, it wouldn't be of any help.

"Ah."

Akabane nodded slightly.

The living Madara is definitely stronger than the Edo Tensei state, and Madara isn't old enough to be unable to fight now. According to the manga, he has at least ten more years to live.

In addition, Madara originally relied solely on himself to summon the Gedo Mazo, which would consume a large amount of his chakra—like Nagato, who paid a huge price for summoning the Gedo Mazo.

Now, he has borrowed the power of Sunagakure to minimize his own losses. Although his power has weakened, he has benefited from Hashirama's cells and has not regressed too much.

Let alone Sakumo, even Kazami Hatake and Danzo might not be able to cause any real harm to Madara.

The only ones in the camp who could truly harm Madara were Akabane, Mito Uzumaki, and Might Guy, who was continuing Orochimaru's training in Konoha.
