Shigure vs. Madara Uchiha

"This guy is the Three-Tails Jinchuriki! We just extracted the Six-Tails, and so far we've captured the Three-Tails, Eight-Tails, and Nine-Tails," Obito said.

"You guys are really fast. I was wondering why you weren't there when we attacked the Shinobi Village. Looks like you went to capture the other Tailed Beast," Shiyu joked.

"However, with your strength, you shouldn't be able to defeat Jinchuriki so quickly, right? What kind of tricks and schemes did you use?" Shiyu was also a little suspicious.

After all, the members of Akatsuki Organization either joined Shiyu's side or had already been killed. How could Obito and Zetsu possibly capture so many Tailed Beasts in such a short time?

"Ha, interesting. So you captured the Three-Tails and sealed it inside you? Jinchuriki of the Uchiha Clan? That's rather unexpected." Madara once again revealed a playful smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, your name is Uchiha Shigure, right? I've heard of you before," Madara said.

Anyone else who heard such remarks would likely be shocked or surprised, but the wonderful expression that Madara had been expecting from Shiyu did not appear.

"It's normal that you've heard of my reputation; after all, I'm the strongest Shinobi World," Shiyu said nonchalantly.

"Interesting. You dare to boast like this in front of me. But you don't seem to have understood what I said. Don't you find it strange that I've heard of your reputation?" Madara asked.

"What's so strange about that? During the battle at the Valley of the End, you bit off Hashirama's flesh, used Izanagi to rewrite reality, and ultimately evolved your eyes into the Rinnegan."

"After you summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, you relied on it to survive. You secretly manipulated Kirigakure and sent Kirigakure Ninja to test me during the Konoha Chunin Exams? I think you were choosing your representative at that time, weren't you?" Shiyu casually recounted the events of the past.

"Enough. You seem to know a great deal about my past, but I know just as much about yours."

"You are also a ninja of the Uchiha Clan, yet you are not tolerated by Konoha. Since you possess such intelligence and skill, why don't we join forces and create a world where we are in charge?"

"Everything can be achieved there; any regrets you may have can be made up for in that illusory world."

"You'll have your father, mother, friends, everything around you—everything you want. Why don't you consider it?"

Madara Uchiha was trying to persuade Shiyu, but Shiyu spat out a mouthful of phlegm.

Ban immediately dodged away.

"When have you, Madara Uchiha, ever insulted me like this? Naturally, I was burning with rage."

"Damn it!" Madara cursed.

"If you want to dream, don't drag the entire Shinobi World into your dreams," Shiyu replied.

"Since that's the case, then let's fight! I'll let you experience Madara Uchiha's wrath." Madara charged towards Shiyu.

The battle that followed was beyond the reach of others. Obito wisely increased the distance, and Zetsu also controlled Nagato's body to retreat further away.

After Zetsu controlled Nagato's body and used the Outer Path - Samsara Heavenly Life Technique, Nagato was already weakened to the point of unconsciousness. Now Zetsu has completely gained control of Nagato's body.

Although Madara Uchiha didn't have eyes, his momentum as he rushed towards Shiyu was still quite strong.

"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique!" Madara unleashed a powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu first. Dragon Flame Song involves unleashing multiple seemingly silly and cute-looking dragon heads, but this move has a tracking effect and is virtually infallible.

Shiyu smiled calmly. The ninjutsu used by Madara was indeed powerful enough that ordinary people could not withstand it. However, Shiyu could not only absorb ninjutsu, but also amplify it and then rebound it back.

Faced with the tracking-type Dragonfire, Shiyu simply stretched out his hand, and the Shiyu were absorbed as soon as they got close.

"Oh? It was absorbed?" Madara also sensed something was wrong; his ninjutsu attack had been completely neutralized.

"The Rinnegan it?" Madara said calmly.

"This is not the Rinnegan, but the power of my Mangekyō Sharingan, Kōtakamusubi."

"Ban, taste the power of this move." Shiyu then unleashed the Dragon Flame Song once more.

Then, countless bursts of powerful dragon fire immediately shot out from Shiyu's hand, all of them possessing a tracking effect.

"This guy has terrifying abilities; it seems he can absorb the opponent's ninjutsu, amplify it, and then counterattack." Obito couldn't help but feel a little wary.

"However, this move seems to have a flaw. The absorbed attack seems to be one-time use, disappearing after being used up in a counterattack. Moreover, it doesn't seem to be able to reflect Taijutsu. It seems that we need to use powerful Taijutsu to deal with him," Jue also analyzed.

"Taijutsu... Can Madara really defeat Shiyu?" Obito also had some doubts.

"This is really interesting!" Instead of showing any fear, Madara seemed to have been motivated.

"Boom!" Countless powerful dragon fire spells struck Madara Uchiha, filling the air with scorching sparks, and turning the surrounding forest into a sea of fire.

Shiyu switched her eyes to Byakugan and saw a blue phantom around Madara.

This blue phantom is naturally a manifestation of Madara's chakra materialized.

"Ha, as expected of Madara Uchiha, who once dominated the Shinobi World. He can even use Susanoo without his eyes." Shiyu spoke, Teleportation in front of Madara and immediately threw a punch.

Madara knew Shiyu Shigure was no ordinary person, so he put away his previous contempt and immediately crossed his arms to block Shiyu's attack.

However, Shiyu's lips curled up slightly, and he reappeared behind Madara.

"I'm here!"

"So fast! Faster than Tobirama!" Madara was shocked and didn't have time to turn around or defend, but Madara's Susanoo still managed to withstand Shiyu's kick for him.

"Bang!" Madara was instantly kicked dozens of meters away by Shiyu. Madara was very experienced in combat and immediately rolled on the ground to dissipate Shiyu's force.

However, Madara was in a bit of a mess at this point. Although he still maintained Susanoo, he was struggling a lot.

Zetsu and Obito were also shocked.

Jue exclaimed, "Impossible! This guy's Taijutsu are so strong?!"

"I didn't expect Madara to be at such a disadvantage? Madara, having suffered a loss, should be a little more serious now," Obito said.

"Looks like I'll have to go to Ban's side. You'll have to cover for me as much as possible," Zetsu said.

"Oh? No need to rush, he's the real Madara Uchiha, he hasn't shown his trump card yet." Obito didn't want to let Zetsu take Nagato's body away.

Once Nagato's Rinnegan returns to Madara Uchiha's original form, Madara Uchiha's strength will increase significantly. Obito doesn't actually completely trust Madara; he was simply manipulated by Madara's strong emotions.

"Well, there's nothing Black Zetsu can do but wait for now, since Madara didn't ask him to come over."

"Damn it. Their speed and strength are the strongest I've ever seen!" Madara regained his footing.
