Chapter 332: Hashirama and Madara's last Dance

Chapter 332: Hashirama and Madara's last Dance

"Be careful"

Uchiha Madara and Hashirama simultaneously warned each other!

The two swiftly maneuvered their blue Susanoo-armored Wooden Human to retreat and evade!

Akihara Kagura, controlling the white Susanoo-armored Wooden Human, raised the katana in its hand horizontally, pursuing them across the water. The hundred-meter-tall Susanoo-armored Wooden Human advanced menacingly toward them step by step!

Akihara Kagura is immensely powerful!

This is an acknowledged fact in the ninja world! Only those who have personally experienced the formidable power wielded by Akihara Kagura can truly grasp the terror he embodies. He possesses an extraordinarily vast amount of chakra and yet can control it with meticulous precision!

Under his control, the hundred-meter-tall white Susanoo-armored Wooden Human exhibited a terrifying agility, as if the white Susanoo-armored Wooden Human were a living human being!

"Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Technique!"

Hashirama quickly formed hand signs!

In the blue Susanoo-armored Wooden Human's hand, a sturdy shield appeared, rapidly covered with layers of blue Susanoo armor plates!

The blue Susanoo-armored Wooden Human held a glowing blue katana in its left hand and a blue wooden shield in its right, with a blue wooden dragon perched on its shoulder, armed to the teeth!

"Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Technique!"

Akihara Kagura simultaneously clasped his hands together!

A white-glowing wooden shield appeared in the white Susanoo-armored Wooden Human's hand!

The next moment, the two hundred-meter-tall giants collided!

The ground of Turtle Island trembled under the impact of the two Susanoo-armored Wooden Humans' battle. The massive, drifting Turtle Island began to sink into the sea, unable to withstand such a terrifying fight!

In comparison, the battle on the other side was mere collateral damage.

The fight between Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke had been forced to halt. The clash between the purple Susanoo and the red Susanoo had been interrupted.

"Now, tell me the truth!"

Uchiha Sasuke, insistent on uncovering the truth, ignored the distant battle, his eyes blazing with fury!

"Itachi, do you know what I've been through? My brother killed our family, sought to destroy our clan to protect his brother. Is this the truth?"

"…"

Uchiha Itachi remained silent, unable to answer.

The man, who had nearly annihilated the Uchiha clan, nodded slowly after a moment, his voice becoming hoarse: "Yes..."

"You know..."

Uchiha Sasuke felt a pang in his heart, questioning in confusion: "How can I face those in the Root Division?"

Staring at his brother, Sasuke's face filled with suppressed anger, his voice thundered: "I might as well have died on the night of the massacre!"

"Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi shook his head, sighing inwardly. His eyes locked with Sasuke's: "I'm sorry... I didn't know... you would discover the truth... The truth of the Uchiha clan's destruction... is something I never wanted you to touch..."

"Now... I must know everything!"

Sasuke waved his arm, his face livid with rage: "You're already dead, how long will you keep hiding the truth from me!"

"I understand..."

Itachi sighed deeply.

But now, his body was under Akihara Kagura's control. The Mangekyo Sharingan, Kotoamatsukami, capable of altering everything, couldn't be retrieved in time...

Currently...

Uchiha Itachi remained under Akihara Kagura's control.

Seeing his brother's wrathful face, Itachi attempted to use a transfer seal to pass his memories to Sasuke, defying Akihara Kagura's orders, wanting his brother to decide his own future!

However...

As he made a move, someone instantly stopped him!

Uchiha Itachi's mind froze!

He widened his eyes in disbelief!

He knew who was controlling him; that man had the power to fight Hashirama and Uchiha Madara while still having enough strength to control him!

How powerful was that man!

Even under the assault of two legendary figures, he still paid attention to this side!

Compared to Akihara Kagura, Itachi's spiritual will was as different as the sky and the earth, utterly unable to resist Akihara Kagura's suppression!

"Akihara Kagura..."

Itachi's spirit was in agony, murmuring his purpose: "I only... wanted to tell Sasuke the truth..."

"Fool!"

A mere snort in his mind!

It was like a thunderbolt striking Itachi's will!

The next moment, Itachi's body was directly taken over!

However...

The controlled Itachi showed no outward changes.

The will of Uchiha Itachi was in even more pain, clutching his forehead as if struggling desperately against something, seemingly fighting against the will controlling him from within.

"Itachi!" Uchiha Sasuke was startled by Itachi's actions, instantly appearing by his side. "What's going on? What's happening to you?"

"I originally wanted to use the transcription seal to pass my memories to you..." Itachi groaned, his brain in extreme pain. "But now, I can't escape Akihara Kagura's control. He only wants to use me to kill you, to thwart all your actions, and leave you forever in confusion..."

"That guy..." Sasuke pressed his lips together.

Is this Akihara Kagura's punishment? Just as he had uncovered the truth and began to feel a mix of confusion and guilt towards his brother, he questioned Akihara Kagura and was expelled from the Root, directly standing in opposition to him...

That man...

Because Itachi once tried to harm Kabuto and Yakushi Nono, he nurtured Sasuke to pit brother against brother...

Now that he knew the truth, Akihara Kagura directly resurrected and controlled Itachi to kill him, using sibling rivalry to exact revenge for his betrayal again!

"So, should I..." Sasuke looked at his struggling brother, fighting against Akihara Kagura's will, "seal your actions first?"

"It's useless..." Itachi shook his head painfully. "Even if you seal me, there will be others coming to kill you... While Akihara Kagura is still fighting, I can still speak... Remember what I'm about to tell you, or it might be too late. Akihara Kagura won't give us another chance. I want to tell you the truth..."

Itachi gazed at the distant battlefield and spoke gravely. "Now, I must first escape Akihara Kagura's control. Before I died, I left a contingency, the Mangeky? Sharingan that Shisui gave me. That eye has a powerful illusion that can quietly alter a person's will, left on a crow..."

"That eye technique..." Sasuke was startled.

"An eye technique to alter wills..."

Sasuke thought of something else, recalling the imminent crisis in the ninja world. "Can it be used to alter Akihara Kagura's will?"

"No..." Itachi struggled to shake his head, seemingly at his limit. "Illusions are ineffective against the Rinnegan..."

Clutching his forehead, Itachi continued in a deep voice, "Akihara Kagura has already sent someone to retrieve the crow. The crow is now with Shisui..."

"Help me get that eye back..." Itachi's body trembled, his voice pained. "Shisui is also on this island. You should be able to defeat him now... As long as that eye can work, I can regain control of my body, give you all my memories, and help you in the fight..."

"Hurry!"

The next moment, Itachi's body went berserk!

Itachi seemed to completely lose his will, attacking Sasuke. However, this brother of his was clearly no match for Sasuke!

Sasuke's eyes turned into the Mangeky? Sharingan, immobilizing Itachi's body. "Stay here for a while... I'll retrieve that eye... free you from Akihara Kagura's control..."

The next second, Sasuke's body vanished!

As long as Uchiha Shisui was on this Turtle Island, Sasuke would soon find him!

Meanwhile.

Akihara Kagura was still fighting two legendary figures! A hundred-meter-tall white Susanoo warrior wielded a glowing samurai sword, slashing heavily at the blue Susanoo warrior's shield, its blade appearing exceptionally sharp!

Within the crystal on the forehead of the blue Susanoo, Hashirama and Uchiha Madara saw the fierce blade, their faces darkening!

Although they seemed to use the same technique...

There was still a gap between the two Susanoos!

Controlling the white Susanoo, Akihara Kagura released the white wooden shield, raising its broad hand. A giant Rasengan appeared in its palm!

The ten-meter-diameter Rasengan glowed brightly, pressing heavily onto the blue Susanoo's chest, creating a large circular hole in its upper body. The blue Susanoo's armor shattered, and the wooden warrior inside turned to wood chips!

This strike!

Split the blue Susanoo's body in two!

The blue Susanoo's head fell, and its controllers, Hashirama and Madara, had to leave the protective crystal!

"We seem to be losing..."

Hashirama scratched his head awkwardly.

"..."

Uchiha Madara took a deep breath, seemingly having thought of something, and squinted his eyes: "This kid's chakra control is even stronger than your granddaughter's... The Wooden Human Technique's body seems to have chakra pathways just like a human's..."

The next moment!

The tall white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique looked down and saw the two tiny figures on the ground, lifting its foot to stomp on them as if to crush them directly!

Hashirama raised his palm!

In an instant, Uchiha Madara also raised his palm simultaneously!

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Both of them simultaneously used the Advent of a World of Flowering Trees technique. Thick vines and tree roots burst out from the ground, twisting into thick ropes that ensnared the white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique!

The white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique twisted its body forcefully, swinging its katana to cut through the vines in one swift slash, a fierce strike flying out along the blade's edge, slicing through the thorn-like stone pillars on Turtle Island!

Uchiha Madara and Hashirama were both sent flying back!

Uchiha Madara had never imagined he would face such a powerful attack, a dark expression flashing across his face.

"This guy..."

"Leave it to me! Sage Mode: Activate!"

Hashirama immediately steadied himself, entering Sage Mode in an instant. Facial markings appeared on his face as he clasped his hands together: "Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!"

Huge torii gates descended from the sky!

This was Hashirama's most powerful sealing technique, capable of easily sealing all tailed beasts in the ninja world. No tailed beast could escape the seal of the Gate of the Great God!

However, the white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique simply swung its katana, slicing the descending torii gates into pieces!

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

Hashirama didn't hesitate any longer. His chakra surged within him, and a thousand-meter-tall Buddha statue appeared beneath him and Uchiha Madara!

The thousand wooden arms on the Buddha statue's back stretched out continuously, densely bombarding the white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique controlled by Akihara Kagura!

In an instant, Turtle Island sank!

However...

The white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique controlled by Akihara Kagura soared into the sky!

Uchiha Madara watched as the white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique continued to dodge and evade the True Several Thousand Hands' attacks, quickly clasping his hands together!

"Susanoo: Complete Form!"

The thousand-meter-tall Buddha statue was instantly clad in a layer of raven tengu armor, like a cloak, with layers of blue armor extending outward, arming the True Several Thousand Hands' arms, with pieces of armor attaching to the True Several Thousand Hands' fists!

The two of them combined their ultimate techniques!

Both Uchiha Madara and Hashirama's chakra were pushed to their limits, making it unimaginable how powerful this move was!

Now, the Susanoo Buddha looked as if it had fallen into the demonic path, its cloak-like armor extending from its head like long hair, with numerous Susanoo armor pieces covering its entire body!

On the coastline.

A group of ninjas who had come to support saw the sinking Turtle Island and the rising Susanoo Buddha, which stood like a blue mountain a thousand meters tall!

"What is that!"

A sensory ninja stared in disbelief at the towering Susanoo Buddha!

Even from a great distance, they could clearly see the Susanoo Buddha, standing there like a guiding lighthouse!

"True Several Thousand Hands..."

Many present immediately thought of this technique.

However...

Why was the True Several Thousand Hands' Buddha statue blue? And why did it have a layer of blue raven tengu armor?

Sweat appeared on Hatake Kakashi's face as he answered in a low voice: "It must be Uchiha Madara's Complete Susanoo armor; this is a technique used by both of them together..."

In theory...

Only two people could use the True Several Thousand Hands.

Akihara Kagura, the First Hokage Hashirama.

However, Akihara Kagura couldn't possibly team up with Uchiha Madara, so the only ones capable of such cooperation were Uchiha Madara and the First Hokage...

If nothing unexpected happened...

It must mean Uchiha Madara's plan succeeded!

Hatake Kakashi had long known about Uchiha Madara's plan. He knew Uchiha Madara intended to use Uchiha Obito to revive the three Hokage reincarnated by the Impure World Reincarnation.

"If Uchiha Madara succeeded…"

Kakashi Hatake recalled the consequences of the Rinne Rebirth technique that had been mentioned before: "Is Obito... dead?"

"Let's go immediately!"

Tsunade waved her hand and hurried towards the battlefield.

Compared to those who saw the combined release of True Several Thousand Hands and Susanoo from a distance, those who saw the Susanoo Buddha statue up close were even more shocked!

"Is this the combined power of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara?"

Yamato looked at the blue Susanoo Buddha statue, which stood over a thousand meters tall, with sweat dripping from his forehead: "This level of power... even Akihara Kagura would find it hard to resist, right?"

After all...

Yamato had once seen Akihara Kagura's True Several Thousand Hands.

In terms of size and imposing presence, Yamato did not believe that Akihara Kagura's True Several Thousand Hands could rival the blue Susanoo Buddha statue before him!

This level of power...

Perhaps only gods can describe it!

Just at this moment, Uzumaki Naruto and Minato completed their trials. Two people, covered in a golden chakra aura, arrived beside them. The group, originally shocked by their defeat of Kurama and their entry into Nine-Tails Mode, couldn't even pay attention to them.

"This technique..."

Uzumaki Naruto felt a profound sense of awe as he looked at the thousand-meter-tall Susanoo Buddha statue!

"Hmph, those two bastards..."

The Nine-Tails inside Naruto was hiding and cursing.

Because, whether it was Susanoo or True Several Thousand Hands, the Nine-Tails had theoretically experienced all of these and just felt uncomfortable.

"This technique... it's a bit terrifying... can't forget it..."

Killer Bee, the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails, was also sweating, and his hand instinctively reached into his pocket, pulling out a small notebook.

"What are you... doing?"

Yamato was dumbfounded watching Killer Bee's actions.

"Material, jot it down."

Killer Bee took out a small pen, seriously writing and drawing in his notebook, muttering to himself: "I'm going to write new rap lyrics to commemorate today's events..."

"..."

Yamato sweated even more.

Why did this Jinchuriki from the Hidden Cloud Village seem a bit off?

"Bee, you idiot..."

The Eight-Tails Gyuki was not only shocked by seeing the Susanoo Buddha statue but also by his Jinchuriki's peculiar thought process: "This kind of powerful technique is rarely seen in a thousand years..."

"Akihara Kagura is definitely going to lose..."

A Cloud ninja stationed there felt relieved. He couldn't participate in this battle, but seeing the thousand-meter-tall Susanoo Buddha statue appear, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "The crisis in the ninja world can also be resolved..."

"Although I want to say that too..."

Second Hokage Tobirama, ever rational, was shocked by the giant Susanoo Buddha statue but quickly returned to his senses. His gaze remained on the smaller white Susanoo Wooden Human Technique: "But... that kid... might also be able to display corresponding power, as long as he has enough chakra..."

"Everything... is still uncertain…"
