The powerhouses from the ninja world had never truly unleashed their full strength.
Now that they had finally arrived in this new world, they were eager to test themselves against the strongest fighters here and to study this world's power system. That's why they hadn't gone all out from the beginning.
However, after hearing Lin Xuan's words, they realized that this battle needed to end.
Especially since their enemies had just tried to rescue those three fools while the ninja powerhouses were being held off. If it hadn't been for Might Duy's explosive strength, they might have succeeded.
Although Madara and the others didn't care much about the three Celestial Dragons, they knew that Lin Xuan still had use for them. The fact that they had almost failed to protect them left all the ninjas extremely irritated.
"Aren't you supposed to be the so-called 'justice' of the Navy?"
"We, the masters of assassination and stealth, chose to confront you openly and honorably, yet you resorted to underhanded tricks?"
"Very well—if that's the case, don't blame us for going all out. Crushing you is now non-negotiable!"
Right as many began questioning whether Lin Xuan was bluffing, the Navy on the battlefield suddenly felt a terrifying shift in their enemies' aura.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, Akainu, Kizaru, Aokiji, and all the Vice Admirals suddenly looked grim.
"Damn it! Could it be they've still been holding back this whole time?!"
BOOM!
As if responding to their doubts, an explosive boom echoed through the air.
Madara Uchiha, who was fighting Akainu, and Hashirama Senju, engaged with Aokiji, were the first to undergo a transformation.
A terrifying power erupted from their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, their forms changed.
Behind them appeared black Truth-Seeking Orbs, and they each gripped a black staff in their hands.
Sage of Six Paths Madara and Sage Hashirama had returned!
Previously, in the ninja world, they had required others' help to reach this form. But this time, because Lin Xuan had retained their previous state when reincarnating them, they could freely enter Sage mode at will—just like how Kabuto enabled Madara to access his Rinnegan form.
Many ninja powerhouses on the scene had already witnessed their Six Paths forms before, yet they couldn't help but marvel once more.
Those like Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, who hadn't been part of the final war in the ninja world, were left utterly shocked.
Yet even their reaction was somewhat mild, thanks to the strong mental resilience among the ninja clans.
In contrast, the Navy was stunned to the core.
Seeing the two enter their Sage of Six Paths modes, all their pupils contracted violently—completely overwhelmed.
Those with weaker strength collapsed to the ground, paralyzed with fear, unable to even breathe properly.
"What kind of power is that?!" Sengoku's expression changed drastically.
Staring at the two floating figures, he could feel a level of terror he had never experienced before.
The other Navy elites were all shaken to their core.
"So… this is their real strength?"
"Stop pretending to be gods!" Akainu was the first to regain his composure. He snorted coldly and transformed his fist into molten lava.
"Great Eruption!"
A massive lava fist surged toward Madara, aiming to blast him from the sky.
However, Madara merely extended his black staff and tapped lightly.
In an instant, the blazing magma fist shattered like glass.
"What?!"
Everyone watching was horrified.
To think such a powerful move by Admiral Akainu could be broken so effortlessly?
Hashirama couldn't hold back any longer.
But he noticed Aokiji had no intention of attacking like Akainu had, which made him impatient.
"No way! Are you going to let Madara steal all the spotlight?"
Suddenly, Hashirama vanished and reappeared right in front of Aokiji, striking him with a powerful palm.
BOOM!
Aokiji's body was launched through the air, crashing into the distant ice, blasting open a massive crater!
At that moment, everyone was completely stunned.
An Admiral was defeated in a single blow!
On the warship, Lin Xuan watched Madara and Hashirama in action and muttered to himself:
"These two… still love to show off!"
Still, he had no complaints.
Because the moment they entered Sage mode, his reputation points began skyrocketing!
Clearly, the entire world was watching the live broadcast—especially the scene of Aokiji being slapped away by Hashirama—which had left viewers worldwide stunned.
Meanwhile, Kizaru, who was still fighting Minato Namikaze, had noticed what was happening and was both shocked and relieved.
"That aura is terrifying… They were holding back while fighting me? That's just scary!" Kizaru muttered, truly shaken this time.
Then he glanced at Minato uneasily and asked, "You… you're not going to suddenly transform into something like that too, are you?"
Minato shook his head seriously.
"I don't have that kind of power—but I do have a special form."
Suddenly, golden energy erupted from his body, enveloping him entirely.
Nine-Tails Mode—Activated!
Kizaru's face turned completely dark.
He had only asked casually. How could Minato really have another form?
It now seemed as if Kizaru had helped Minato power up!
Right at this moment, two colossal armored giants suddenly appeared on the battlefield, startling everyone.
One red, one green—Susanoo!
It was Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha unleashing their Mangekyō Sharingan and summoning their Susanoo!
"So they really can use that move!" Sengoku's face turned even darker.
The Susanoo summoned by Madara and Lin Xuan previously had left a lasting fear. Now that two more had appeared, he was growing more and more uneasy.
Before he could fully process his anxiety, a voice suddenly rang out from below:
"Hmph, they stole my spotlight again!"
With those words, another Susanoo appeared!
Uchiha Izuna had joined in with his ultimate move!
After summoning his Susanoo, he turned toward Tobirama Senju and said teasingly:
"Tobirama, how's my Susanoo? Impressive, right?"
He always felt that Tobirama had overshadowed him—especially in terms of jutsu development. But at least in terms of raw power moves like Susanoo, Tobirama couldn't compare.
Especially now, with Izuna in a reincarnated body and infinite chakra, his Susanoo might not match Madara's Perfect Susanoo, but its aura was undeniably mighty!
But to Izuna's surprise, right after he spoke, Tobirama coldly snorted and replied:
"Naive! Do you really think after all these years of your death, I haven't made any progress? You're not the only one with trump cards!"
