Chapter 285: Stunned |
Initially, when Madara received the power of the Six Paths and could not sense Hashirama's chakra, he was a bit disappointed because there was no way to show the new power to Hashirama, let alone find a worthy opponent.
But at the last moment, Yeruashi, who has extremely powerful Dojutsu and the power of the Six Paths, appeared.
For the first time since his resurrection, Madara's fighting spirit was awakened and he felt his blood boiling in his veins.
"You're also the strongest ninja I've encountered so far..."
Yeruashi, wrapped in a golden glow and clutching a black sword in his hand, calmly addressed Madara, "Then, let's have fun!"
Whoosh!
After these words, Yeruashi's body disappeared.
In the next instant, he appeared to Madara's right, already slashing with the black sword.
"Very fast!"
He immediately felt that Yeruashi's speed was too high, even with the Rinnegan, he could only catch the trajectory of the movement.
"I don't have time..."
A thought flashed through Madara's mind. Coming to the conclusion that his body's movements probably couldn't keep up with Yeruashi, Madara retreated without hesitation.
Madara's body instantly disappeared and Yeruashi's sword was blocked by something invisible.
It was Madara's Limbo: Hangoku.
Yeruashi remained calm, for with the help of the Tenseigan, he could perceive it clearly. He saw four white replicas nearby, with the real Madara in the center.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black sword in Yeruashi's hands moved at high speed, creating a dense web of interlocking thin slashes in the blink of an eye, which cut Madara's clone into many small pieces.
Dodging Yeruashi's attack with, Limbo: Hangoku, Madara inhaled sharply and suddenly, the moment he exhaled, a thin beam of purple light shot out from his mouth in Yeruashi's direction.
"Senpō: Ranton Kōga!" (Sage Art: Light Fang of Storm Element)
Buzz!
Yeruashi tilted his head, dodging the attack.
Madara immediately turned his head sharply, aiming the purple beam at Yeruashi's neck.
With this move, the purple beam left a long, deep, chasm-like gash in the ground nearby.
Klang!
Yeruashi swung the black sword sharply to the side, blocking the purple beam. Many sparks flew out and after a brief collision, Madara's attack was destroyed.
In the next instant, Yeruashi's figure disappeared, heading towards Madara again.
"It's too fast..."
Madara frowned slightly and disappeared, switching places with one of his clones. He instantly appeared behind Yeruashi and swung his black staff sharply, delivering a swift blow to Yeruashi's neck.
Whoosh!
Yeruashi's body disappeared, dodging the attack, and appeared to Madara's right, already slashing in his direction with the black sword.
Madara realized that he could not resist Yeruashi's speed in close combat, so he was forced to evade the attack again with the help of Limbo: Hangoku.
This ability of his Dojutsu allows Madara to create four invisible copies of himself and freely switch places with them, and the destroyed copies are quickly restored and return to their ideal state.
Whoosh! whoosh! whoosh! whoosh!!!!
Yeruashi, bathed in golden light, and Madara, in a white robe, continuously blinked in the air, instantly changing position again and again.
During Yeruashi and Madara's battle.
Auge!
Some distance away, in the middle of the ruins of Kumogakure, the ground suddenly cracked.
A human figure emerged from the crack.
This was the First Raikage of Kumogakure.
After the First Raikage, other survivors began to appear amidst the ruins. With the exception of the First Raikage and the ninja revived by the Edo Tensei, all the other survivors were mostly severely injured and bleeding.
"Cough..."
The Fourth Raikage, who had lost an arm and a leg, also emerged from the ground. He was able to survive by relying on an extremely powerful physique.
He pulled his body out of the ground with one hand and looked up to the sky. There, he saw two figures moving at an incredible speed, much faster than him.
Then he looked around.
The Fourth Raikage saw only ruins and a deep crater. In the place where Kumogakure had previously stood, not a single building was visible. The Grand Ninja Village was completely destroyed by the aftermath of the confrontation between Uchiha Madara and the Fifth Hokage.
The Fourth Hokage clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. In his mind flashed the last scene he saw before the explosion, when Yeruashi fell from the sky, holding a golden sword in his hand, and collided with Madara.
What kind of a hit was that!
Its consequences... They razed all of Kumogakure to the ground....
At the thought of this, the Fourth Raikage began to feel suffocated, which was especially intensified when he looked up at the two figures glowing in the sky.
Gradually, a chill began to spread through the Fourth Raikage's body.
The strength of the Fifth Hokage had already surpassed his imagination.
It wasn't just about attack power. The speed demonstrated by the Fifth Hokage and Uchiha Madara in this battle also exceeded their limit many times over.
The Fourth Raikage couldn't even grasp their movements.
At that moment.
There was a hint of confusion and helplessness in the Fourth Raikage's eyes.
Seeing such a gigantic gap in strength, the Fourth Raikage felt for a moment that all his previous hard efforts were meaningless.
It was all in vain.
"Such a gap..."
His clenched fists gradually relaxed and his thoughts became chaotic. The Fourth Raikage, watching the battle in the sky in silence, began to wonder what he had been doing all these years....
The First Raikage was also watching the sky in silence, being in almost the same state as the Fourth Raikage. There was confusion and incomprehension in his eyes.
Who is this ninja fighting against Uchiha Madara?
This is definitely not Senju Hashirama....
Uchiha Madara, who had not yet received the power of all the Bijuu, was already much stronger than the First Raikage, and now, after receiving such power, he gave off a sense of disparity that bordered on despair.
But this person who fell from the sky was able to face Madara head-on.
Although they could not see the specific result of that terrifying encounter, it could still be judged that this person was capable of facing Uchiha Madara, Who had the power of all the Bijuu!
Is there really such a terrifying ninja in this era?
Whoosh!
Minato's figure instantly appeared nearby.
His hand, destroyed by Madara, did not show the slightest sign of recovery.
Minato looked up to the sky and gripped the kunai with Hiraishin's seal tightly in his remaining hand, and at this moment, his mind was in shock
"It's definitely him..."
"It's Yeruashi, but his chakra is..."
He could feel the terrifying chakra fluctuations coming from Yeruashi.
This chakra volume... It's even greater than Kyubi's!
Could it be that in the years since his death, Yeruashi had managed to reach such a terrifying level?
