Chapter 770 Suffocating Oppression (6.2k)

“Our final opponent is Uchiha Madara. Fukasaku, I’m counting on you!”

Jiraiya spoke his tactics to the two great Sage while concentrating his Chakra.

Here, he was one of the most senior elders, and he should be the main attacker.

“Sage Art: Goemon!”

Jiraiya gathered a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra in his throat, then converted the Senjutsu Chakra into Chakra oil and spit it all out in one breath.

At this moment, Shima immediately followed by spitting out a Sage flame.

Under the heating of the Sage flame, the Chakra oil’s temperature rapidly rose, becoming incredibly scalding hot.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Finally, Fukasaku exhaled Sage Wind Release, and the wind aided the fire, making the flames larger, while also expanding the range of the scalding hot oil, further enhancing the Ninjutsu’s power.

The three Sage Arts complemented each other to form one Sage Art, bringing unimaginable immense power.

Under the erosion of the high-temperature oil sea burning with flames, both large stones and broken wood were rapidly dissolved.

The surrounding temperature also rapidly increased under the influence of this powerful combined Sage Art.

However, Uchiha Madara chuckled, neither dodging nor evading, and walked step by step towards the high-temperature oil sea.

Swish!

When the high-temperature oil sea touched Uchiha Madara, it was like water touching a sponge; it was instantly absorbed completely, as if the oil sea that was supposed to burn everything to ashes was just an illusion.

“He can use Rinnegan to absorb Ninjutsu; ordinary Ninjutsu won’t work on him!”

Nagato reminded, feeling a bit strange in his heart.

“Why do so many people have Rinnegan?”

Edo Nagato has a pair, Broken Mask Obito has one, and Uchiha Madara has another pair.

“If Ninjutsu doesn’t work, then we can only use Taijutsu and Genjutsu, but the opponent is Uchiha Madara, so can we only use Taijutsu?”

Jiraiya frowned.

To seal a Ninja as famous as the God of Shinobi with only one of the three basic Ninja skills sounds like a fantasy.

“Does that mean it’s my turn?” x2

Might Guy and Might Guy spoke out together; they weren’t tired when it came to Taijutsu.

“That’s not right. It’s just that our Ninjutsu is difficult to be effective, but the opponent can use Ninjutsu at will.”

Kakashi shook his head.

Once Might Guy opens the higher Gates of Eight Gates, there will be a weakened period after the Eight Gates ends.

If they successfully sealed Uchiha Madara, it would be fine, as so many of them were attacking Broken Mask Obito alone, so a few less people wouldn’t matter.

But if they failed to seal Uchiha Madara, then Might Guy would be in danger.

“Wife, use that.”

Fukasaku said.

As great Sage who have lived for over eight hundred years, they naturally have trump cards.

“Do we have to use that, with so many people?”

Shima’s frog face flushed slightly.

“There’s no other way; ordinary Genjutsu definitely won’t work on Uchiha Madara.”

Fukasaku nodded.

“Little Jiraiya, please stall for some time. As long as we can hold on, we can take care of both enemies in one go.”

What they were going to use was Mount Myōboku’s most powerful Sage Art Genjutsu—Frog Song.

For ordinary Genjutsu, as long as one realizes they are under Genjutsu, disrupting their Chakra can release it.

But with Frog Song, even if one’s consciousness is clear, it’s useless; those under the Genjutsu absolutely cannot break free on their own.

Moreover, this Genjutsu is also an area-of-effect Genjutsu, capable of affecting multiple people simultaneously.

Of course, while having powerful effects, this Genjutsu also has a major drawback, which is its casting time.

Both Sage need to completely sing the Frog Song’s musical score, and the target must also fully listen to it for the Genjutsu to take effect.

After speaking, both Sage concentrated a massive amount of Senjutsu Chakra and let out bursts of melodious frog croaks.

These croaks, when heard up close, weren’t very loud, but for some inexplicable reason, they could spread very far.

All the Ninja on the field heard it clearly.

“So it’s this technique, it seems I need to be more serious.”

After hearing the croaking, Uchiha Madara started running, heading straight for Jiraiya.

“With me here, you won’t lay a hand on Ero-Sennin!”

Naruto formed hand signs and released a large number of Shadow Clone, and many Shadow Clone swarmed forward, rushing towards Uchiha Madara.

“Susanoo!”

Uchiha Madara’s Chakra erupted, instantly forming a blue Susanoo, over ten meters tall with four arms.

Swish!

Susanoo’s four arms each swung twice, and eight blue sword slashes spread out, instantly clearing out the rushing Naruto Shadow Clone.

“Yasakani no Magatama!”

Immediately after, a large number of Magatama appeared between Susanoo’s palms, which Uchiha Madara flung all at once towards Jiraiya.

“Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!” x2

“Magnet Release: Iron Sand Wall!”

The large and small Kakashi simultaneously activated Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall, creating two thick earthen walls with dog heads in front of Jiraiya.

Immediately after, Sasori controlled his puppet to create a large amount of iron sand, adding iron sand to their Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall.

Rumble! Rumble!

A huge explosion sounded, and iron sand and mud flew everywhere.

The first iron sand wall quickly crumbled and scattered under the powerful energy of the blue Magatama.

Although the second iron sand wall successfully blocked the attack, it also looked precarious and barely holding on.

“So strong!”

Kakashi felt a cold sweat on his brow.

This was his Earth Release in Sage Mode, plus Sasori’s iron sand enhancement, and also Kakashi’s Earth Release.

And even with all that, it barely managed to withstand one wave of Uchiha Madara’s Susanoo attack.

“And this guy hasn’t even used his full power.”

When Muzuki fought Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Madara used a Susanoo over seventy meters tall, but now Uchiha Madara only used a Susanoo of just over ten meters.

“How will you stop this technique?”

Uchiha Madara smiled indifferently, dispelled his Susanoo, and a massive amount of Chakra erupted from his body again.

“Wood Release: World of Trees Advent!”

Rumble! Rumble!

As Uchiha Madara’s internal Chakra successfully transformed into Wood Release Chakra, a huge roar sounded.

Large amounts of tree branches burst out from the muddy ground and grew rapidly. In just a few breaths, a forest with tall trees was created, continuously spreading towards Jiraiya.

“Uchiha Madara is using Wood Release against us?”

Obito inexplicably felt a sense of absurdity.

This was too topsy-turvy; Sage Muzuki needed to severely punish him.

“Naruto, use Rasenshuriken. Shisui, let’s use Azure Flame!”

Obito quickly said.

Muzuki had frequently used Wood Release: World of Trees Advent in battle, so they had a good understanding of this Ninjutsu.

Wood Release: World of Trees Advent could absorb the enemy’s Chakra to grow stronger.

They had to destroy all the trees in one go before they could spread.

Although his and Shisui’s Azure Flame was powerful, its range was insufficient. This is where Naruto’s Rasenshuriken came in handy.

Rasenshuriken had immense power, and it also possessed the energy of Wind Release, which could help Azure Flame spread faster.

“Flame Breathing Chakra Mode!”

Obito and Shisui simultaneously entered Flame Breathing Chakra Mode, burning their Senjutsu Chakra to greatly enhance the power of Nature Transformation.

“Sage Art: Azure Flame!” x2

Both of them simultaneously opened their mouths and spat out a dazzling Azure Flame towards the forest.

Although it was only a fist-sized flame, the impact Azure Flame had on the battlefield was stronger than Jiraiya’s Goemon.

As soon as the two spat out Azure Flame, the Ninja on the battlefield felt a scorching heat, and then immediately began to sweat.

And Uchiha Madara’s Wood Release: World of Trees Advent turned into black ash in the blink of an eye upon encountering Azure Flame.

“Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!”

At this moment, Naruto Shadow Clone threw the prepared Rasengan, which struck the center of the two Azure Flames.

Boom!

Whoosh!

After a dazzling white light, strong winds arose, helping the Azure Flame spread.

Azure Flame already had extremely strong combustibility, and with the help of Naruto’s Rasenshuriken, it instantly turned most of the forest into remnants.

In the blink of an eye, the entire forest disappeared, and only the Azure Flames still burned on the ashes.

“Good Fire Release.”

Uchiha Madara said, crossing his arms.

“Then, how about this?”

“Chibaku Tensei!”

Uchiha Madara’s Rinnegan suddenly vibrated, a massive amount of Chakra erupted, and the battlefield was instantly shrouded in a black shadow.

Obito and the others instantly felt the light dim.

They looked up and found that three giant meteorites had appeared in the sky at some point, blocking the moonlight that shone down on the earth.

“Is this Uchiha Madara…?”

Kakashi’s pupils suddenly dilated, his Ninja perception was shocked.

Such a giant meteorite, even if he used Kamui to defend regardless of the cost, he probably wouldn’t be able to stop it.

“Why can’t I use Tailed Beast Transformation?”

Naruto was about to transform into Nine-Tailed to block the meteorite, but found that his Chakra was insufficient, so he asked Nine-Tailed.

“The number of connections is too few, I can’t give you all my Chakra, I’ll have to wait a bit.”

Nine-Tailed replied.

“Damn it…”

Naruto was anxious but helpless.

Eight-Tails was controlled by Broken Mask Obito’s black rod, and he didn’t have enough Chakra for full Tailed Beast Transformation. No one could stop these three giant meteorites anymore.

“An attack from the sky.”

Orochimaru also couldn’t help but frown. If it were a horizontal attack, he could use Rashomon to block it, but for meteorites falling from the sky like this, he didn’t have a very good solution.

However, with such a large-scale attack, as long as they weren’t at the center of the meteorite’s impact, strong individuals of their level would surely be fine.

It was just that the Genjutsu of the two Sage would fail.

“No…”

Kakashi was about to fully activate his Lightning Release Chakra, then immediately shook his head.

The power of his dream blade was enough to shatter the meteorite, but simply cutting the meteorite wouldn’t resolve the attack; it would only turn into a larger number of meteorite showers.

“If I use Shinra Tensei with all my might, I should be able to repel it to another place.”

Nagato took a deep breath, preparing to use all his Chakra to unleash Shinra Tensei.

Swish!

As if sensing Nagato’s thoughts, Uchiha Madara flashed forward and rushed towards Nagato, blue Chakra surging around him, rapidly forming a Susanoo, and he swung his sword at Nagato.

The people nearby tried to help but were entangled by the Wood Clone that Uchiha Madara split off.

Nagato was forced to fight Uchiha Madara, and at this moment, the meteorite in the sky rapidly descended.

“Kamui!”

Just as everyone was fighting to seal Uchiha Madara, Broken Mask Obito quietly emerged from the ground near Rin Nohara and grabbed Rin Nohara.

Since Rin Nohara was positioned furthest back, and at a certain distance from everyone else, Broken Mask Obito successfully absorbed Rin Nohara into the Kamui Dimension before the others could arrive.

“How dare you lay a hand on Rin!”

Obito clenched his fists and flashed to Kakashi’s side.

“Quick, take me in.”

Kakashi nodded, placed his hand on Obito’s shoulder, activated Kamui, and brought him into the Kamui Dimension.

Those capable of stopping the meteorites were unable to do so due to various issues, leaving the rest to use defensive Ninjutsu to protect themselves.

Sasori first took out a puppet specifically for defense, entered it, and then controlled the puppet to create a seamless sand iron shield around himself.

Jiraiya used Senjutsu Chakra to activate the long white hair on his head, wrapping himself, and Fukasaku and Shima also had to stop their Frog Song and use Ninjutsu to protect Jiraiya and themselves.

Kakuzu pushed his Earth Spear to the extreme, and Kakashi used Armament Haki when activating his body with Lightning Release Chakra…

Boom!

Three incredibly massive meteorites simultaneously fell onto the battlefield, their dazzling explosions making the battlefield as bright as day, so much so that even Allied Ninja in other areas noticed the extremely conspicuous light.

The terrifying kinetic energy devastated the ground, causing large areas to continuously shatter and sink, eventually forming a huge crater over ten kilometers in diameter.

Since Uchiha Madara himself did not take any precautions, his entire body began to regenerate.

As for everyone else, they sustained varying degrees of injuries.

Nagato, due to Uchiha Madara’s obstruction, didn’t have much time to prepare and was the most severely injured.

However, Nagato entered the Yang Release Breathing Chakra Mode at the last moment, and under the effect of a large amount of Yang Release Chakra, he recovered quickly, looking as if he hadn’t been injured at all.

Naruto, protected by Nine-Tailed Chakra, was essentially unharmed.

But because the Nine-Tailed Chakra was depleted, he automatically exited Kurama Mode and could only maintain the Breathing Technique Sage Mode with his own Chakra.

Orochimaru appeared to be severely injured, but another Orochimaru, who seemed fine, immediately emerged from his mouth.

Killer Bee was unable to withstand the attack and was severely injured, automatically exiting his Full Tailed Beast Transformation.

Sasori was well-prepared and only sustained minor injuries, while Kakuzu lost one heart.

Jiraiya’s injuries were moderate, and he looked a bit disheveled.

Whoosh!

Space twisted, and under the combined efforts of the three, Broken Mask Obito had no choice but to leave the Kamui Dimension and return to the battlefield.

Kakashi also immediately returned to the battlefield with Rin Nohara and Obito.

Although staying in the Kamui Dimension could effectively prevent Broken Mask Obito from using Kamui to evade attacks, Kakashi’s entry and exit from the Kamui Dimension were not as effortless as Broken Mask Obito’s, and prolonged stay in the Kamui Dimension could lead to problems.

“Yin Seal: Release!”

“Summoning Technique!”

Seeing her teammates injured, Rin Nohara immediately released the Yin Seal, unleashing the sealed Chakra, and summoned Katsuyu and Milotic to heal her teammates with her Nin-Beasts.

“When did this child sign a contract with Shikkotsu Forest?”

A Katsuyu clone was a bit bewildered, having been summoned by an unfamiliar Ninja.

However, it recognized Naruto and Jiraiya, so it promptly cooperated with Rin Nohara to assist in healing.

Under Rin Nohara’s powerful healing, Killer Bee, who was the most severely injured, recovered significantly and regained consciousness.

As for the others with minor injuries, they instantly returned to their peak condition.

Although Uchiha Madara did not assist in healing, his Impure World Reincarnation body quickly recovered as well.

For a moment, the situation seemed to revert to the beginning.

However, Kakashi and the others knew they were at a disadvantage.

Because Uchiha Madara was an Impure World Reincarnation body, he could automatically recover Chakra at high speed.

They did not possess this ability.

Therefore, the longer time passed, the more unfavorable it became for them.

Roar!!

Suddenly, the Gedo Statue within the Uchiha Flame Formation let out an even more terrifying roar.

“It’s almost complete, it’s time to end this battle.”

Uchiha Madara glanced at the Gedo Statue, deciding to go all out to eliminate everyone and capture the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tailed.

Once the Ten-Tails became complete, he would only need to control the cursed seal in Broken Mask Obito’s heart to make him use Reincarnation to revive himself.

Then he could absorb the Ten-Tails, become the second Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and use Infinite Tsukuyomi to bring eternal peace to the Ninja World.

“Hashirama, my path is the correct one!”

Thinking of the grand scene after success, Uchiha Madara couldn’t help but curve his lips.

“We can’t let them be defeated so quickly.”

Broken Mask Obito sensed Uchiha Madara’s thoughts and prepared to act.

He did not trust Uchiha Madara and wanted to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi himself.

“Wood Release: Wood Clone!”

Uchiha Madara stimulated his Chakra, releasing thirty Wood Clones in one go.

“Susanoo!”

Immediately after, an extremely dense blue Chakra appeared around each Wood Clone Uchiha Madara, then rapidly transformed into blue giants tens of meters tall.

“Ordinary clones can use Susanoo!?”

Obito Shadow Clone was dumbfounded.

Normally, the Shadow Clones created by the main body Obito couldn’t use Susanoo, but this time, it might be because the Dragon Vein amplified the Chakra; although he was a Shadow Clone, he could use Susanoo.

It’s just that Obito Shadow Clone disliked how much Chakra Susanoo consumed, so he didn’t use it much.

“Everyone, come to me quickly!”

Nagato reminded his teammates while rapidly condensing Chakra.

Facing so many Susanoo, ordinary Ninjutsu had lost its meaning.

Even for Nagato, there were only two countermeasures he could think of.

One was a super-scale Shinra Tensei, and the other was Muzuki’s Five Dragons Turns to Destruction.

A super-scale Shinra Tensei would place a huge burden on Nagato and affect his subsequent state, so Nagato prepared to use Five Dragons Turns to Destruction.

Five Dragons Turns to Destruction consumed a lot of Chakra, but had no side effects.

There were currently two versions of Five Dragons Turns to Destruction: the original version Muzuki extracted from the system, and Muzuki’s improved version.

Muzuki’s improved version meant that the stronger the Five Nature Transformation, the stronger the Ninjutsu, and compared to the original, the power would be more concentrated.

The original version, however, had a large range and could draw in natural energy to cause severe regional destruction.

Nagato knew both versions, but he planned to use the original.

His Nature Transformation was far from Muzuki’s, and the improved version wouldn’t be much more concentrated in his hands.

“Oh?”

Feeling the powerful aura from Nagato, Uchiha Madara showed an intrigued expression.

“Five Dragons Turns to Destruction!”

Looking at the approaching Susanoo army, Nagato felt no panic, releasing all the massive Chakra he had condensed.

Roar!

Five purple Chakra dragons formed around Nagato, charging directly towards the Susanoo army.

Boom!

The sky was suddenly covered by thick dark clouds, and thick bolts of lightning struck the ground, as if a god from the heavens was unleashing divine punishment.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Immediately after, a raging storm capable of tearing up the earth appeared invisibly, forcing all Ninja present to condense Chakra on their feet to prevent being blown away.

The ground continuously vibrated and cracked, as if an invisible giant hand was tearing at it.

Large amounts of magma surged from the cracked ground, melting everything around it.

The rampaging natural energy turned the entire battlefield into an apocalypse, with only a small piece of pure land around Nagato.

The inexplicable strong winds made it difficult for Susanoo to advance, and the dense, thick lightning strikes were enough to break through Susanoo’s defenses.

Aside from the berserk nature, the Chakra dragons themselves also possessed extremely strong destructive capabilities, enough to shatter mountains and crack the earth, destroying Susanoo.

Watching the Susanoo fall one by one, even Uchiha Madara showed a surprised expression.

As an opponent for entertainment, Nagato had given him plenty of surprises.

When the battlefield quieted down, Uchiha Madara’s Susanoo disappeared, leaving behind only a desolate battlefield.

“You’re very good, but this is as far as you go.”

Uchiha Madara looked at Nagato with an appreciative gaze, then a massive burst of Chakra erupted from his body.

If he were idle enough, he wouldn’t mind playing with Nagato for a while longer, as an opponent like Senju Hashirama would never appear again.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the leisure now.

The Ten-Tails was about to be born, and a plan decades in the making was finally coming to a perfect conclusion.

He was already impatient to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and then cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.

“Susanoo!”

Blue Chakra surged around Uchiha Madara.

Twenty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters…

Under the gaze of Kakashi and the others, a giant warrior over one hundred and fifty meters tall appeared on the battlefield, bringing immense pressure.

“Just how strong was First Hokage-sama to be able to defeat a monster like this?”

Jiraiya couldn’t help but exclaim.

Compared to the Konoha predecessors, their generation seemed a bit disappointing.

“This level of Susanoo, I’m afraid my Dream Slash won’t be powerful enough.”

Looking at the mountain-sized Susanoo, a sense of powerlessness welled up in Kakashi’s heart.

His Chakra was still too weak.

“So, this is Uchiha Madara’s full power.”

Shisui’s expression was solemn.

Facing a Susanoo over one hundred and fifty meters tall, he saw no possibility of victory.

All they could do was resist with all their might and wait for the arrival of Obito’s main body and Muzuki.

Even if only Obito’s main body arrived, it would be enough to influence the battle.

Because Obito was carrying potara earrings.

As long as Obito and Kakashi used the earrings to fuse into Kakatobi, plus Nagato and Naruto with the Nine-Tailed’s power, it would be enough to seal Uchiha Madara.

Moreover, Obito’s main body could use Kamui more easily than Kakashi, making it simpler to deal with Broken Mask Obito after sealing Uchiha Madara.

Just as Uchiha Madara was about to swing his sword, he suddenly sensed an aura, so he instinctively glanced towards Konoha.

“Is that so? How exciting, hahaha!”

Uchiha Madara burst into wild laughter.

At the same time, Obito Shadow Clone also felt an indescribable sensation.

Because Uchiha Madara’s Susanoo put too much pressure on him, Obito Shadow Clone didn’t think too deeply about it.

His mind was now entirely focused on how to protect Rin Nohara during the battle.

This level of battlefield was too dangerous for Rin Nohara.

“Kurama, are you ready?”

Seeing Uchiha Madara about to attack, Naruto quickly asked the Nine-Tailed.

To defeat Susanoo, Nagato had consumed too much Chakra; it was now his turn to bear the responsibility of protecting his comrades.
