Nine eggshell-like shields formed from Truth-Seeking Orbs hovered above Madara's head.
They might have looked incredibly thin, but the Allied Shinobi Forces' experts who had witnessed them earlier had the most right to speak of their defensive power.
Because none of their attacks had been able to shake the Truth-Seeking Orbs in the slightest.
And now there were nine layers of defense.
As for Susanoo and the like?
Madara had no need to come out and ask for a beating.
No matter how strong Susanoo's defense was, it was far inferior to the Truth-Seeking Orbs. Using it would only consume a great deal of Chakra while providing no help at all.
"I never expected a stunning expert like you to be born in this era!"
"Your talent for taijutsu surpasses mine!"
"I, Madara Uchiha, am willing to acknowledge the Heavenly Sky Fist as the strongest taijutsu!"
Madara's gaze seemed to pierce through the Nine-Tails Truth-Seeking Orb Shield and meet that of Yamaa Koji, who was falling like a Blood-Colored Meteor.
A fanatical, excited expression appeared on his face. He did not look like someone about to die at all.
Yes, for a battle maniac like him, dying in battle was the highest honor.
Thus, he had wagered everything on the Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before Yamaa Koji's fist even struck the Truth-Seeking Orbs, the force of his punch had already torn through three layers of them.
Even space itself twisted beneath the final strike of the Heavenly Sky Fist in the Gate of Death state.
Though the Truth-Seeking Orbs contained Yin-Yang and all Five Elements, they naturally could not withstand an attack capable of warping space itself.
"Madara Uchiha!"
With Yamaa Koji's shout, his fist crashed down onto the fourth layer of Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Rumble!
A Blood-Colored Chakra
