Konoha: Sage Body

His body was suddenly cut in half, and Kirito's face immediately showed a look of horror. But the next moment, another flash of light appeared, and his entire face was split in half down the middle, freezing the look of horror on his face.

"Your clone technique is quite exquisite, but when you're talking to me, it's best to use your real self."

Uchiha Madara didn't even look at the Kirito he had already killed, and his eyes moved to the left, looking at a body of water not far away.

As soon as he finished speaking, four masked monsters in the sky launched attacks one after the other under the control of Kirito.

The Earth Release masked monster, which had entered Sage Mode, launched the first attack. A rock cannonball shot out of its mouth, rapidly growing in size as it flew, becoming as large as a three-story house and emitting an incredibly heavy aura, before it smashed down on Uchiha Madara's Susanoo: Second Stage's Chakra Half-Human Giant.

Earth Release: Rock Gun technique!

The Lightning Release Masked Monster and Water Release Masked Monster fused together, transforming into a two-headed monster. A Lightning Dragon and Water Dragon suddenly appeared, then fused together, eventually transforming into a lifelike black Lightning Dragon, emitting a brand new Chakra fluctuation.

Storm Release: Wrath of the Prison Dragon!

This is a Storm Release jutsu developed by Kirito by combining the advantages of Lightning Release - Lightning Water Dragon Bullet Technique and Water Release - Water Dragon Bullet Technique. This is the first time he has used it against an enemy, and today is the moment to witness its power.

The Lightning Dragon rushes towards Uchiha Madara before the rock cannonball can.

The huge black Lightning Dragon opened its mouth wide and bit towards the Chakra Colossus, but was stopped halfway by four huge Chakra katana. The four huge blades of light slashed towards the Lightning Dragon, but it avoided them all with a tail whip, perfectly demonstrating the advantages of Storm Release combined with Lightning Release and Water Release: speed and agility.

In an instant, the black thunder dragon bit the chakra half-body giant. The chakra half-body giant, whose defense was a few points stronger than that of normal chakra metal, was suddenly bitten and its body was covered in cracks, and a large amount of black electricity was raging inside like an abscess.

"It seems that the Earth Grudge Secret Technique of this village has great potential. The fusion of two clones with different attributes can give birth to a Bloodline Limit such as Storm Release. Unfortunately, the stability is still a bit lacking. You need to practice your Water Release again when you go back."

Uchiha Madara was completely unfazed by the crisis and even had time to make comments.

Although his Sharingan could not observe the Chakra as carefully as Byakugan, he could still tell that the Storm Release jutsu used by his opponent at the moment was not released by his own Storm Release Bloodline Limit, but was a Storm Release born on the basis of the Earth Grudge Secret Technique.

And since the opponent's Water Release was much weaker than Lightning Release, the fusion was not perfect and there were still weaknesses.

As he spoke, a chakra katana was slashed hard on the head of the black thunderbolt dragon, where the weakness of this ninjutsu was located.

The next moment, the black thunderbolt dragon exploded and dispersed again into thunderbolt dragons and water dragons.

The thunderbolt dragons and water dragons were split by Uchiha Madara's Susano'o Giant with one slash, and when they wanted to continue attacking, the chakra katana in Susano'o Giant's other hand cut them in half with one slash, and they let out a weak wail before dissipating into the air.

Meanwhile, the Earth Release: Rock Gun technique used by the Sage's Earth Release Masked Monster had already arrived.

Thanks to the Storm Release ninjutsu used by the two Water and Thunder Masked Monsters fusing together, Uchiha Madara did not have enough time to dodge this ninjutsu.

Uchiha Madara did not intend to dodge either. He wanted to use the same technique as before to control the second stage of the Susanoo giant and use the chakra katana in his hand to split the incoming boulders. However, when the four blades hit the rock cannonballs formed by the Earth Release: Rock Gun technique, his face changed.

Because the rock cannonballs not only failed to be cut up, but smashed the four chakra katana to pieces instead.

The rock cannonballs the size of a house finally smashed head-on into the Suzaku Giant, which was already covered in cracks. Its head was instantly smashed to pieces, followed by its body, which then exploded into smithereens.

Finally, the rock cannonballs also exploded, causing a huge explosion.

Amidst the smoke, a dark figure flew out of the white steam and landed on the water surface. It was Uchiha Madara.

At this time, he was slightly disheveled, because the black robe that had been intact on him had become tattered, revealing the body of the White Zetsu A Fei that wrapped his body, and the white spiral one-eyed mask on his face also appeared in Kirito's field of vision.

"Young man, you are very..."

Uchiha Madara looked at his current situation and planned to praise Kirito, but the last Wind Release Mask Monster to appear in the sky made him swallow his words.

At this moment, the mask of the Wind Release Mask Monster also appeared with the same immortal face pattern, obviously entering Sage Mode like the Earth Release Mask Monster. It was raising its hands high in the air, and a huge white Shuriken that emitted a sharp vibrating sound appeared above it.

The radius of the Shuriken was already five meters in length. Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken!

The Wind-Cloth Masked Monster threw the Shuriken, and Uchiha Madara instantly felt a deadly crisis. He realized that he could not resist this move head-on, and decisively planned to use the Shunshin technique to dodge.

However, he felt both displeasure and helplessness at this way of dodging, and sighed inwardly that he was now powerless and being bullied.

His Susano'o had just been destroyed by his opponent, and it was temporarily unable to be restored instantly.

If he were in his prime, with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, he could easily use Susano'o again, and the Susano'o he created could reach the third or even fourth stage in one go.

Unfortunately, he is now old and frail, and all he has are a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, which have slightly stronger pupil power than the average Mangekyo Sharingan, and they aren't even his own, so they don't work very smoothly.

And in order to avoid accelerating his aging, he dares not fight with all his strength, which really limits his options.

Uchiha Madara's technique of instant teleportation was even more refined than Hatake Sakumo's, and he instantly disappeared from the spot, successfully avoiding the incoming Rasenshuriken.

But as soon as he finished dodging, he realized that he had not actually avoided the enemy's attack.

He saw the white shuriken land in the water, and a huge water tornado quickly formed. It turned into an eye of the wind with a strong suction force, sucking in everything around it.

Uchiha Madara was instantly attracted by this powerful suction.

"It's a pretty good jutsu,"

said Uchiha Madara, then tried to use Shunshin again to get away from the water tornado, but the two-headed masked monster in the sky then shot out laser beams from its mouth, which were terrifyingly fast, even faster than Shunshin.

Even Uchiha Madara, whose Three-Tomoe Sharingan abilities are not ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan, could only see a glimmer of light.

Storm Release: Laser Technique!

There was no way to dodge, so he could only brace himself for the impact.

Once again, a chakra arm grew out of Uchiha Madara's body, and his palm transformed into a shield to block the onslaught of incoming laser attacks.

Due to the harassment of the two-headed mask monster, Uchiha Madara was unable to successfully use the Shunshin technique. His body is now getting closer and closer to the water tornado formed by the Senjutsu: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.

Finally, the blue chakra half-body giant appeared again and cut the water tornado in half with one stroke.

Next, the four clones of Earth Grudge in the sky, under the control of Kirito, continued to work together with Uchiha Madara.

The clones of the Earth Release technique have no eyes and are not afraid of Uchiha Madara's Sharingan Illusion Technique. Now that the Earth Release and Wind Release Masked Monsters have entered Sage Mode, they are not afraid of Uchiha Madara's special Yin Release Technique and can assist the Two-Headed Masked Monster in battle.

For a time, powerful ninjutsu such as Earth Release, Lightning Release, Water Release, and Wind Release were continuously used by the four clones of the Earth Release technique, and even Senjutsu attacks were used.

Uchiha Madara easily blocked all the ninjutsu with the second stage of the Susano'o, and swung the four Sharingan-enhanced katanas with great force. Many of the ninjutsu were broken by the four Sharingan-enhanced katanas before they could hit the Susano'o giant, and he was only slightly powerless in the face of Sage Chakra.

Meanwhile, Kirito, who was hiding in the shadows and controlling the four Earth Grudge clones remotely, kept a close eye on Uchiha Madara with his Byakugan, ready to strike at any moment and deal a fatal blow.

Unfortunately, he was unable to find an opportunity.

The opponent was a ninja from a troubled era who had seen many battles, and although he looked a little flustered in the hands of Kirito's four Earth Grudge clones, he was actually coping well and was constantly devoting most of his energy to guarding against his sneak attacks.

He hid in the shadows and did not face him directly in battle, guarding against the opponent's Sharingan illusion technique, while the opponent was also guarding against his Gentle Fist: Divine Vacuum Strike.

Through his Byakugan, Kirito could clearly see that there were three different strands of chakra in Uchiha Madara's body.

One was his own, cold and dark, located at the naval, another was supposed to be Senju Hashirama's, warm and sunny, located at the left chest, and the last one was wrapped around him, full of vitality, and it belonged to the White Zetsu A Fei.

Up until now, Uchiha Madara has been using his chakra to fight, while the other two chakras have not moved at all.

This shows that the opponent has been conserving a considerable amount of strength.

"Hmph, just keep conserving your strength, and when my true body arrives, we'll get rid of you together."

Kirito sneered as he watched Uchiha Madara hesitate to use the power of Senju Hashirama and A Fei.

To deal with a strong opponent like Uchiha Madara, he of course could not rely solely on the White Zetsu clone. Moreover, as it was hard to encounter Uchiha Madara, he had to find a way to gain some benefit from Uchiha Madara, the living reincarnation of Indra. His true self was rushing here as fast as he could after receiving the news.

Although the White Zetsu clone is strong, its strength is still not as powerful as the main body. The reason for this is that there is a significant difference in chakra.

In order to deal with Uchiha Madara, the White Zetsu clone has actually used almost all of its firepower, and the Sage Chakra in the Yin Seal on its body has also been used.

Otherwise, how could he have supported both the Earth Release Masked Monster and the Wind Release Masked Monster entering Sage Mode at the same time, and continuously unleashed powerful Sage Arts in attack?

However, while the power of Sage Arts is indeed formidable, and can directly shatter the defenses of Uchiha Madara's Susano'o's second stage, the cost in Chakra is truly terrifying.

He did not activate the two-headed mask in Sage Mode precisely because he was worried that there would not be enough Sage Chakra in his body. Storm Release itself is a major Chakra consumer, and if it evolved into a Sage Technique, with the amount of Sage Chakra in the White Zetsu clone, it would be used up in no time.

Without the help of a huge Chakra gatherer like a tailed beast, it would be difficult for the White Zetsu clone to make another breakthrough in battle.

Although the power of the Sage Art Storm Release is formidable, it is certainly unrealistic to think that it can kill Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara has mastered the ninjutsu technique Izanagi, which can be considered a resurrection technique. It is extremely difficult to kill Uchiha Madara with the power of the White Zetsu clone alone.

Therefore, his current tactic is to drag things out and slow down the pace of the battle.

Uchiha Madara is obviously not someone who likes to have the pace of battle dictated by others, and he had originally planned to hide in the shadows and execute the Moon Eye plan, not wanting too many people to discover his presence.

The reason he is so cooperative and playing along with Kirito's White Zetsu clone is actually because he wants to see Kirito's Sage Mode and then kill him in one fell swoop.

As a result, Kirito has been hiding in this lake water all this time, controlling several clones of Jiraiya to fight him, and has not revealed his "original body" to fight him, which really makes him feel a little irritated and bored.

Three minutes have passed since the battle began.

Naturally, the outbreak of a major battle here has long attracted the attention of those in the vicinity. If it weren't for the fact that the aftereffects of the battle are truly terrifying, even jōnin would find it difficult to approach. Many people have already come to check on the situation, but it is only a matter of time before they attract the attention of powerful individuals.

Kirito didn't feel anything about this. To him, the longer it dragged on, the better. He already sensed that his true self was about to arrive.

Once his true self arrived, he would be confident in a head-on battle with Uchiha Madara, and then he would tear some benefits from Uchiha Madara.

"Kid, if you're not going to come out and fight head-on, then I'll let you see a little bit of how powerful I am today."

Uchiha Madara sensed that there was a large amount of chakra reaction nearby heading this way, and he knew that he didn't have much time left to play. Finally, he was not going to continue to waste time with Kirito here, and he said coldly.

Kirito heard Uchiha Madara's words and his heart trembled, and then he saw the chakra of Senju Hashirama in Uchiha Madara's body instantly injected into the White Zetsu A Fei on his body.

As soon as the power of Senju Hashirama entered A Fei's body, the Wood Release power within him underwent an incredible change. In Kirito's Byakugan vision, the light green Wood Release Chakra on A Fei's body quickly turned dark green, and a greenish-blue pattern appeared all over his body.

At the same time, Uchiha Madara formed a seal with his hands that Kirito was familiar with.

"No good."

Kirito saw the seal Uchiha Madara had formed and instantly understood what jutsu he intended to use. He cursed under his breath and quickly got out of the water.

But he was ultimately a step too late. As Uchiha Madara's hands completed the seal with a flash, a large number of huge vines suddenly grew at the bottom of the lake. They entwined with each other and entangled everything in the lake, and finally a plant with huge flowers growing on top of each root.

In just a few seconds, this huge lake turned into a sea of flowers.

The Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom had descended.
