Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Continuous explosions erupted at the entrance to Kaguya Village, rapidly drawing other Kaguya shinobi to the scene.
At the same time, the houses in that area were completely engulfed in flames, and women and children fled in the opposite direction, weeping as they ran.
This was the true face of the Warring States.
Madara stood within his Susanoo, commanding his ten Uchiha Jonin to destroy everything his Sharingan could see with savage fury.
Though he yearned for peace deep in his heart, when it came time to be ruthless, Madara showed no mercy.
"Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets!"
High-speed bone projectiles came flying. One Uchiha Jonin was caught off guard and struck.
Madara reacted, using his Susanoo to catch the man's body as it was sent flying backward.
"Thank you, Clan Head... cough-gah!"
After being set down, the Uchiha Jonin couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood.
Madara nodded and looked coldly ahead. So they've come.
Clan Head Kaguya Banro, and his second-in-command, Kaguya Bushu!
Behind them were hundreds of Kaguya shinobi, all dressed uniformly in white.
"Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Madara—what is the meaning of this?"
Watching one side of the village turn into a sea of flames, Kaguya Banro forcibly suppressed his rage and demanded an answer.
"Heh. To people like you who've already allied with the Senju, whatever I do is justified in my eyes."
Madara sneered coldly. Combined with the Sage Mode markings faintly visible at the corners of his eyes, he looked especially menacing.
But in reality, Kaguya Banro and the others were too far away for him to see their faces clearly.
They were blurry, hazy, like phantoms.
Seeing the Susanoo enveloping Madara, Kaguya Banro's heart filled with wariness. Then he suddenly laughed. "To dare attack my Kaguya with only ten men—the Uchiha clan truly is arrogant beyond measure!"
With that, Kaguya Banro's hands gripped enormous bone spears formed from skeletal matter. "If that's the case, then pay with your lives!"
Madara controlled his four-armed mature Susanoo, swinging its weapons to meet the charge.
Kaguya Banro also raised his spear to block.
Boom!!!
In an instant, the ground beneath Kaguya Banro's feet cracked apart, dust and debris scattering everywhere.
And yet—Kaguya Banro was not blown away. He held firm, resisting the downward pressure of the Susanoo's blade.
Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan narrowed slightly.
Kaguya Banro sneered coldly. "Compared to Uchiha Izuna, you, the elder brother, seem far too weak."
Madara's eyes flashed with anger.
To be honest, the Sage Mode Izuna had obtained from the Jugo clan was far inferior to the Senju Hashirama cells that future Obito would use.
This Sage Mode could only reduce the burden on the Mangekyo Sharingan—it couldn't offset it the way Senju Hashirama's cells could.
By the time Madara learned this Sage Mode, his Mangekyo was already on the brink of ruin.
Now, even with Sage Mode, he could barely maintain it. In fact, Madara had the premonition that if he used his armored Susanoo, his eyes would be finished!
"Sage Art: Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Just like with Senju Tobirama's Water Release, Madara and Izuna only needed a single hand seal to execute high-level Fire Release.
"Support the clan head!"
Kaguya Bushu roared, and hundreds of Kaguya clansmen surged forward.
Hands pressed to the ground, they summoned countless enormous bone structures from the earth, forming a wall that blocked the Sage Art Fire Release.
"Tch!"
Madara clicked his tongue. Then, led by Kaguya Bushu, dozens of Kaguya shinobi phased through the bone wall like ghosts, swinging massive bone blades and slashing at Susanoo.
As long as they were on bone, they could move at near-instantaneous speeds—this was one of the Kaguya clan's Kekkai Genkai abilities.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
In less than three seconds, dozens of bone blades hacked at Madara's Susanoo.
They did not break through Susanoo's defenses.
Kaguya Bushu bellowed, "Don't be afraid! This defense has limits. Keep attacking the same spot over and over!"
In the next moment, a fresh wave of attacks from the entire Kaguya clan descended!
"Don't underestimate me!"
Madara roared, and his Susanoo's four arms moved in unison with his own hands to form seals.
Sage Art: Storm Release: Dragon Fang!
From Madara's mouth, pale-blue threads—resembling lightning yet possessing the fluidity of water—shot forth in thin Chakra lines.
When Madara entered Six Paths mode in the future, this technique would even surpass Onoki's Dust Release in power.
Of course, it wasn't that exaggerated now, but it was still an undeniable S-rank jutsu!
"Dodge!"
Kaguya Bushu instinctively sensed a lethal threat and warned his clansmen.
The Storm Release Chakra threads swept horizontally through the Kaguya shinobi ranks.
However, some Kaguya shinobi who couldn't react in time could only rapidly grow bone from their skin to form shields.
The hardness of those bones could even exceed steel!
And yet, under Madara's Storm Release attack, they were sliced through like tofu, bodies and all!
So strong!
Kaguya Bushu and the others had long since abandoned their initial contempt. No—they had never underestimated Madara from the beginning.
Anyone capable of becoming the clan head of the Uchiha could never be weak.
But don't forget—the Kaguya held an overwhelming numerical advantage!
Madara sensed danger but found it impossible to evade.
"Dance of the Clematis!"
"Dance of the Camellia!"
"Heavy Bone Spear Dance!"
Three Kaguya Jonin swung their bone weapons and struck the same point simultaneously!
Crack, crack-crack!
Fissures appeared on Susanoo's back.
The three men's faces lit up—they saw hope in breaking through Susanoo.
"Clan Head!!!"
One Uchiha Jonin shouted in alarm, but was seized by a Kaguya Chunin who stabbed him through with a bone spike.
"Gah-aah!!"
Gritting his teeth, the Jonin retreated several steps, clutching his wound. Five or six Kaguya shinobi then rushed him.
"No choice!"
Forming a one-handed seal, just as those Kaguya shinobi pierced his body with their bone spikes, the Uchiha Jonin's form dissolved into nothingness.
"This is..."
The five were stunned.
Suddenly, the Uchiha Jonin appeared behind them. "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!!"
In an instant, roaring flames engulfed all five.
As his enemies screamed, the two fingers he'd lost earlier had already regenerated.
But one of his eyes had lost focus, turning pale white.
At the cost ofPermanent losing his sight, he had activated the most forbidden of the Uchiha's forbidden techniques—Izanagi!
But this chance could only be used twice in a lifetime. After losing both eyes, he would be doomed.
"Get lost!!!!"
At the center of the battlefield, Madara let out a furious roar, releasing a violent surge of Chakra that repaired the cracks on Susanoo's back.
"Hmph. As expected of the Uchiha clan head."
Kaguya Bushu said coldly, "But I don't believe your Chakra is infinite. Everyone—keep going!"
