Chapter 309 – The Clash of Legends
"Alas… I hadn't intended to say more."
The Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta, sighed softly. His voice carried neither anger nor doubt, only cold disdain.
"Madara… from beginning to end, you have been nothing but a pawn. A fool among fools."
"What did you say?"
Buzz!!
Before Yuta's words had even finished echoing, Uchiha Madara's aura erupted. A violent, domineering pressure spilled out from his body like a tidal wave.
This was no ordinary shinobi. Madara was a legend — the man who had once cast his shadow across the entire shinobi world. Even in death, he carried the pride of the previous era.
Unlike the Great Toad Sage, who had grovelled and bowed, Madara would never submit. No matter the cost, only battle could prove who truly stood at the summit.

"Why bother…"
Yuta's eyes, dark as an endless abyss, met Madara's fury without a flicker of fear.
With no visible movement, his aura exploded outward.
BOOM!!
In an instant, the air shuddered. Yuta's overwhelming presence surged forward, colliding head-on with Madara's Six Paths chakra. The world itself seemed to tremble.
Dust and stone tore into the sky as the battlefield quaked dozens of times over. Cracks like spiderwebs ripped through both ground and air, space itself groaning beneath the pressure.
The clash of two titans — the Six Paths level colliding against Six Paths level — was so fierce that countless shinobi felt their scalps prickle and their bodies go numb.
It was terrifying. Beyond terrifying.
---
But then—
The struggle lasted less than a single minute.
Madara's Six Paths aura faltered, then crumbled. Under Yuta's godlike pressure, his momentum shattered like fragile glass.
From the beginning to the end, Yuta had not even moved. He had stood still, calm and unshaken, while Madara was crushed beneath the weight of his presence.
---
"Impossible…"
Madara staggered, his Rinnegan wide with disbelief. His confidence cracked.
He had sensed it clearly during their clash — Uchiha Yuta stood at the Six Paths level, just as he did. Madara had believed that, with the Rinnegan's power, even if there was a gap between them, it could not be too wide.
And yet—
Reality had slapped him across the face. His aura had been destroyed instantly, overwhelmed without resistance.
Now he understood. He understood why the Great Toad Sage had lowered his head, why even grovelling had seemed acceptable. Before this power, pride meant nothing.
"How… how can this be? Madara's momentum collapsed in less than a minute, completely crushed by the Fifth Hokage, Uchiha Yuta?"
"It's unbelievable! Why is the gap so vast?"
"Aren't they both Six Paths level? Both wielders of the Rinnegan? How could Madara be suppressed so utterly?"
"The Fifth Hokage hasn't even revealed his Rinnegan yet, and Madara is already defeated in momentum alone!"
Shock rippled through the Allied Shinobi Forces, their voices rising in disbelief.
Across the shinobi world, countless civilians watching through the great chakra screens were left dumbstruck. They had known Yuta was powerful — powerful enough to make even the Great Toad Sage bow — but to see Madara, the feared specter of history, crumble in less than a minute…
It was terrifying beyond comprehension.
---
Fear spread like wildfire.
Among the Allied Shinobi Forces, many who had tried to maintain calm could no longer hide their trembling. The weaker among them lost strength in their legs entirely, collapsing to the ground, unable to stand beneath the crushing aftershock of the two titans' clashing auras.
"How… how is this possible?"
Bang!!
In his shock, the aged Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, who had been hovering in the air, lost his focus and fell heavily to the ground. His wrinkled face was pale with dread.
The collapse of Madara's aura had struck him with a terrible realization. One mistake, one miscalculation — and Iwagakure might already have stepped into an abyss from which it could never return.
"Ruined… It's over…" Ōnoki whispered, his heart heavy.
The Fourth Raikage, A, his muscles taut with suppressed lightning, clenched his fists until they shook. His eyes widened in disbelief.
"Madara is a Six Paths-level powerhouse! And yet… the difference between him and Uchiha Yuta… is like heaven and earth."
What words were left?
No excuse could soften the truth.
Madara's aura had been shattered utterly — and Uchiha Yuta had done so without even drawing upon the full might of his Rinnegan.
The gulf between them was undeniable.
