Chapter 283: Unstoppable! |
Since the chakra was collected from all the Bijuu, the Edo Tensei command also ceased to function.
All the ninja revived by the Edo Tensei, including Minato, regained their freedom.
The battle in Kumogakure stopped immediately.
Whether it was the ninja revived by Edo Tensei or the ninja of Kumogakure, everyone present stopped and turned their heads in the direction of Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara, who entered Six Paths mode, did not look dazzling, but the white skin and hair, as well as the white robe with magatamas and a black staff, were something the ninjas present had never seen in their lives.
"Just the touch..."
Minato narrowed his eyes, watching the Fourth Raikage fall close by and the Truth Quest Balls floating behind Madara.
Indeed, just as he had judged, these black spheres were formed by the fusion of at least four chakra attributes!
"Six Paths... He said he had received the power of the Sage of Six Paths..."
Feeling the power of the Six Paths in his body, Madara slowly lowered his hand, looked at Minato and said, "Save this world."
"..."
This sentence from Madara caused Minato, the First Raikage and the others to be silenced for a while.
The First Raikage exclaimed, "Save the world? I don't think you're really going to do something like that, and why save the world at all?"
"This is really my goal."
Madara said calmly, "To gather all the Bijuu and obtain the power of the Sage of the Six Paths, and then use a Genjutsu called Infinite Tsukuyomi that will cover the entire world. Once the world merges with me, there will be no more useless wars in this world."
Madara's eyes were filled with absolute confidence as he said, "I am .... the savior of this world!"
Whoosh!!!
Minato's body suddenly disappeared instantly and appeared behind Madara, already striking with a Rasengan.
"Such a fake world doesn't make any sense!"
Minato exclaimed decisively.
Auge!
The Rasengan slammed into Madara's back, but quickly dissipated, leaving no trace behind.
Minato's eyes widened abruptly and, in the next instant, Madara was already swinging the black staff in his direction.
"Not good!"
Minato exclaimed grimly and immediately activated Hiraishin.
In life, it would only take him a brief moment to activate Hiraishin, but in the Edo Tensei state, Minato was not at the peak of his power at all and the technique activated with a slight delay, it was this minimal delay that prevented him from evading Madara's attack.
Poof!!!
Minato's arm and shoulder were instantly destroyed by Madara's staff, and Minato's body appeared nearby, moving at the last moment.
The first Raikage, who had survived countless bloody battles, immediately reacted to what was happening and ran towards Madara from another direction.
"Lightning Element Jutsu: Negative Force!!!" (Raiton: Gai)
With a loud shout, a concentrated bolt of black lightning erupted from the First Raikage's mouth and slammed into Madara's chest.
At the same time.
The body of the Fourth Raikage, lying nearby, threw arcs of lightning and abruptly thrust out with one foot, rushing towards Madara and fiercely striking his legs with his fist.
The third Raikage, bathed in the chakra of the Lightning attribute, bent four fingers, leaving only the index finger, and appeared behind Madara, delivering a swift blow with One Finger Nukite. (Hell's Stab)
Three Raikages attacked at the same time!
It seemed to take some time, but in fact, it all happened in the blink of an eye. The normal ninjas, who were nearby, didn't even react to the Raikages' movements.
But at the combined attack of the three Raikages, Madara only smiled coldly. The Truth Quest Orbs instantly changed shape, forming a black sphere with him inside.
Auge!
The First Raikage's stream of lightning struck the surface of the black sphere and quickly dissipated, disappearing without a trace.
The Fourth Raikage's attack also struck the black sphere before reaching Madara's body. Upon contact with the black sphere, the Fourth Raikage's hand immediately disappeared without a trace.
Auge!
A black sphere also got in the way of the Third Raikage's swift attack. First, the arm was destroyed, and then almost half of the body was destroyed by inertia, but at the last moment, the Third Raikage barely evaded and collapsed on the ground near Madara.
The sudden joint attack by Minato and the three Raikages was easily blocked by Madara, causing no effect!
This scene caused a shudder to run down the backs of the Kumogakure ninja and the Edo Tensei revived ninja around them. They watched in sheer horror as the large black sphere quickly changed shape again and became the Orbs of Truth Quest that hovered behind Madara.
What terrifying power!
Ninjutsu has no effect whatsoever....
The flesh collapses at the moment of contact....
"Is this... The power of the Sage of the Six Paths?"
Minato clenched his remaining fist tightly. At that moment, he felt that the gap between them and Madara was too great.
He simply didn't understand what to do in such a situation, because the attacks had no effect whatsoever....
Madara was on a different level!
Unstoppable!
This thought quickly began to consume Minato's mind.
"I've already said that I have the power of the Sage of the Six Paths. It's not something a mere mortal can deal with, you can't stop me!"
Madara looked blankly at Minato and the others, then raised his head to the sky and said, "The time has come."
Even though it's daytime, he doesn't mind using the Infinity Tsukuyomi.
As Madara looked up to the sky, Black Zetsu appeared from the ground a few meters behind him.
"Is it time to begin, Madara-sama."
Black Zetsu stepped forward and spoke to Madara.
Madara continued to look at the sky as he said, "I can't feel Hashirama's chakra. Oh, I wanted to dance with him a bit, but now there's nothing interesting left."
Black Zetsu continued to quietly approach Madara.
The use of the Infinite Tsukuyomi is one of the necessary conditions for Kaguya's rebirth, and more precisely, it is able to release most of her soul sealed in the moon, but after Yeruashi destroyed the moon, the need for this step disappeared.
Even without using the Infinite Tsukuyomi and collecting all the Bijuu, Kaguya will eventually resurrect in the form of a pure soul. But in this state, she will only have an imaginary body, similar to the bodies of ninjas revived with the help of Edo Tensei. Such a body would not have enough strength, so Black Zetsu prepared the Jinchuriki of the Jubi for his mother's resurrection.
Now...
Everything was ready.
Only one blow was needed.
Along with this blow, his will will penetrate the body of Uchiha Madara, which will immediately lead to the complete restoration of Kaguya's soul.
At the moment of rebirth, Kaguya will immediately absorb Madara and take control of the Jubi's power.
But.
Just as Black Zetsu was approaching Madara and was about to attack, he suddenly stopped moving and looked up to the sky.
Minato, the First Raikage and the others also turned their heads at the same time, looking up at the sky.
A golden glow appeared in the distance, like a meteorite falling rapidly in their direction.
Even from a great distance, this meteorite had already brought a terrifying oppression.
"..."
Madara looked at the golden flash in the sky.
Other people could only see the golden glow, but with the help of the Rinnegan, Madara could clearly see a human figure bathed in a bright golden glow.
This was the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.
Hatake Yeruashi!
