Unification of the Shinobi World (8)

Issui was equally confident in his Flame Demon God. This current state of his Flame Demon God could be said to be the strongest he had ever reached. His entire body was composed of two super flames: Fire of Amaterasu and God-Devouring Golden Flame. The Flame Eye that had opened on his forehead was something he had never seen before. The power of this Flame Eye would become clear in the upcoming battle.

The two demonic blades behind the Flame Demon God are the massive blades used in the Secret Technique, the Flame Demon Purgatory Slash. Their power is extraordinary, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas. In other words, the Issui Flame Demon Purgatory Slash has now become permanent. It should be noted that the Flame Demon Purgatory Slash has the ability to lock onto enemies, meaning that every swing of the Flame Demon God's blade will Imprisonment the enemy. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

Looking at the Flame Demon God on Issui's body, Madara couldn't help but sigh, "I never imagined that Secret Technique comparable to Susanoo would appear in this world. Just its sheer power is no less than Susanoo's, and in terms of attack power, it seems to have the upper hand. It seems that a new legend is about to be born in this world. You are a worthy opponent."

Issui shook his head modestly and said, "Not at all, your Susanoo is also a very powerful Ninjutsu. I have seen Uchiha people use Susanoo, but its power is less than half of yours. Compared with your Susanoo, my Flame Demon God is just a rising star. I hope it can rival Susanoo in power."

Madara Uchiha nodded and said, "Alright, let me see how powerful you are! Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!!"

As Madara Hand Seals, Susanoo on his body also began Hand Seals, amplifying Madara's Ninjutsu. The entire battlefield shook, and numerous green branches sprouted from the ground. Gradually, the small green saplings grew larger and thicker, becoming sturdy trees that covered the entire battlefield, forming a dense forest in an instant.

Tsunade stared in astonishment at the forest that had suddenly appeared before her, saying, "Isn't this... Grandpa's Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence? How can Madara use it too? It's impossible; no one else can wield Wood Release so powerfully."

The Third Ōnoki, Onoki, said calmly, "Look at that thing on Madara's chest. I sense a powerful life force. It must be the cells of the First Hokage. Even so, Madara's ability to create a forest in an instant is truly no simple feat. It seems his strength has increased even more after Impure World Reincarnation."

The Raikage exclaimed, "I'd only ever heard about how powerful Konoha's two founding Legendary ninjas were before, and I could never have imagined the extent of their spatial abilities. Now it seems they've become far beyond our comprehension. To be able to create such a vast forest in an instant is truly beyond imagination."

Gaara nodded and said, "I'm afraid we simply don't have the strength to refute them. Only someone like Issui can keep up with them and stand at the pinnacle of this world, to be their equal."

Mei Terumi was somewhat shocked by Madara's strength; he had actually become so powerful. Conversely, Issui, who was fighting fiercely with him, showed no signs of defeat, indicating that Issui had also reached that level, far beyond what they could achieve.

Numerous trees sprouted from the ground, but there wasn't a single tree near Issui. It should be noted that the Flame Demon God's energy was derived from nature. Everything that approached the Flame Demon God would turn into nothingness and become part of the Flame Demon God's energy. The Flame Demon God only needed Issui's spiritual power to sustain its existence. The Flame Demon God only consumed Issui's spiritual energy; its material energy was still derived from nature.

Ban's technique was destined to fail. Although the defense of the Issui Flame Demon God was not invincible and reached the limit that the Black Gold Demon God could withstand, no matter how powerful it was, it could not break down the various forces that approached it. Although the Deep Forest Emergence was powerful, it was destined to be an area-of-effect attack without concentration. The dispersed power did not bind the Black Gold Demon God in the center.

Madara's expression changed slightly. It seemed that this Black-Gold Flame Demon God's defense was also outstanding. Even Issui's powerful Hashirama Wood Release couldn't restrain him. Madara himself had suffered quite a few losses from Hashirama Wood Release Ninjutsu in the past. He didn't expect this little guy to be so fearless. He had miscalculated. However, Madara wasn't without a way to deal with him.

"Wood Release: The Flower Deep Forest Emergence!!"

Numerous flowers sprouted from the trees, and as they bloomed, they released a vast amount of pollen, enough to cover the entire battlefield, where Issui was located right in the center.

Although the Black Gold Demon God could withstand the restraints of a large number of thick trees, these strange pollen were beyond the range that Issui, the Flame Demon God, could withstand. These tiny, invisible pollen particles were almost everywhere, Issui felt his head was a little dizzy and his mind was not keeping up.

The Black Gold Demon God outside Issui's body gradually showed signs of collapse, and its body gradually changed from a solid state to a faint black-gold flame state. If it continued in this state, it might collapse at any time. At that time, the huge trees summoned by Ban could bind Issui.

Madara nodded as he saw that Issui was showing signs of collapse. Hashirama's Wood Release was still very powerful, and it was not something that some people could withstand. Although this young man was strong, he was still inexperienced. Compared with ninjas like himself who had been famous for many years, he still lacked a lot. He could not compete with him just by relying on talent.

Issui was acutely aware of his predicament. He bit his tongue hard to clear his mind for a moment, then quickly clasped his hands together and shouted, "Summon— ((Super) Magma Hell!!!!"

Instantly, the ground at the center of the battlefield began to shake and churn. A huge crack shattered from the earth, revealing a sea of fiery magma deep within. This magma churned and rolled continuously, and it was expected to reach the surface in no time, resulting in a massive eruption of magma.

Madara looked at the cracked earth beneath his feet, a feeling of dread rising from the depths of his heart. He reacted instantly, urging Susanoo to quickly leave the land. Even so, some of the erupting fiery magma struck him, destroying half of his body. Susanoo also faded due to this incident, leaving only a skeleton struggling. However, Madara's body possessed the power of annihilation, and his body slowly recovered. Of course, in this recovery state, he was actually unable to move.

All the giant trees with blooming flowers decomposed the moment the magma emerged from the ground, becoming nourishment for the Magma Hell. Although Wood Release is powerful, it is still vulnerable to fire, let alone magma from the ground. Its temperature is over 2000 degrees Celsius, which is something that no normal thing can withstand. Even if it is not an ordinary thing, it cannot withstand it.

Protected by the black-gold flames, Issui was completely unaffected by the lava and moved freely on it. He knew that Ban was now severely injured, and this was a rare opportunity for him. He needed to seal Ban away.

Issui quickly arrived beside Madara and rapidly Hand Seals: "Eye of Heaven - Ice, Chen-Yin-Si-Xu, Ice Soul Seal!!"

The instant Issui finished forming the Issui Hand Seals, Madara felt his soul being violently pulled out of his identity. This surprised him, as he felt that he had broken free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation. Now, the one controlling him was this young boy— Issui Kanna. However, this did not mean that his soul was completely Imprisonment; it was only temporarily enslaved by him for a period of time.

A large number of pure white snowflakes drifted down from Issui's body and slowly flew towards Ban's soul. These snowflakes quickly reached the location of Ban's soul and began to fall one by one onto it, trying to leave a mark on his soul.

Ban clearly felt that he was under great threat, but he had almost no power to resist. He could only force his soul to not accept the pure white snowflakes in front of him. If his soul was really marked, he would be completely useless. His soul would become someone else's property, so naturally he could not resist.

As a result, these pure white snowflakes did not adhere to Ban's soul, but rather passed through it.

Madara's soul returned to the body he had been Impure World Reincarnation. Still shaken, he composed himself and summoned Susanoo again. Controlling Susanoo, he drew the massive katana from his waist and slashed fiercely at Issui. Although he had been shocked by Issui's immense power and his soul had almost been sealed with some kind of restriction, he was also somewhat annoyed.

Madara possesses the most powerful abilities in this world, and there are very few who can rival him. Yet today, he suffered repeated defeats at the hands of a junior. If Hashirama, it would be one thing, but it was a young kid who had pushed him to such an extent, which was unacceptable to him. Therefore, he couldn't help but use all his energy to deliver a fierce blow to Issui.

In the blink of an eye, Issui had no choice but to unleash the Black Gold Demon God on her body and draw out the two enormous demonic swords from her back to block Ban's full-force attack, an attack that would be extremely painful.

"Boom..."

Susanoo's katana clashed with the greatsword of the Black Gold Demon God, producing a deafening sound that was loud enough to shatter the entire sky.

Although the Black-Gold Flame Demon God attempted to defend with his twin swords, his hasty defense was no match for Madara's furious, full-force attack. Even a Buddha could be enraged, let alone someone like Madara. Anyone would be enraged in that situation. The attack, fueled by burning energy and possessing immense power, slammed Issui's entire body into the ground, leaving him motionless...
