Madara Uchiha's Shock

"Moreover, this guy's ability is extremely troublesome. He actually possesses this level of Mangekyo ability, which is comparable to the Rinnegan." Madara's mind was also racing as he pondered how to counter Shiyu.

"It seems the only way to fight it is by using special ninjutsu that cannot be absorbed, and the special abilities of eye techniques. There doesn't seem to be any other good method." Madara then immediately put his hands together in prayer.

Shiyu saw the mark of Banjie from a distance and was naturally very familiar with it.

"So that's how it is. You wanted to use Wood Release to attack me?"

"It seems Madara wasn't lying during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story; he had already fused with Hashirama's cells, so Orochi and Kabuto's actions were somewhat unnecessary."

As expected, Madara Uchiha said, "Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

The Advent of the Tree World is a ninjutsu that uses one's own chakra as the source of life. Multiple trees rapidly grow from the ground, creating a vast forest in an instant, as if uprooted. These trees immediately launch an attack on Shiyu.

"Thump!" Shiyu used the swords formed from the Truth-Seeking Orb to instantly slice through the trees that were entangled around him.

However, Madara Uchiha's chakra was clearly quite abundant. Soon, the surrounding trees completely enveloped Shiyu, and those trees immediately began to absorb Shiyu's chakra.

"Ha, Hashirama's cells? Not bad."

"However, it's useless against me," Shiyu said. "Shinra Tensei!"

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding trees were destroyed by the repulsive force of the Shiyu.

"Rinnegan? Absolutely!" Madara clearly knew Shiyu's strength; under these circumstances, even using Wood Release would be absolutely insufficient to defeat Shiyu.

Upon hearing Madara Uchiha's call, Zetsu immediately understood what it meant and, without further ado, charged towards Madara.

Obito even Madara Uchiha was so powerful that he couldn't do anything to Shiyu, being on the same side, although not really happy that Madara was in charge, did not stop Zetsu.

Shiyu certainly noticed the changes here, but Shiyu had actually wanted to have a proper fight with Madara Uchiha, the boss of Hokage, for a long time, so he did not stop Zetsu and Madara.

"Zetsu, take back what is rightfully mine," Madara said.

"Don't worry! I've already got it." Zetsu had already brought Nagato's body to Madara's front, and then Madara gouged out Nagato's eyes and placed them in his own eye sockets.

A faint green life force appeared around Madara's eyes, and soon both eyes opened, Rinnegan had returned to its original host, Madara.

Shiyu clearly sensed Madara's powerful chakra, and even a trace of Six Paths power.

"Indra's previous reincarnation obtained the power of Asura's reincarnation, and thus gained the power of the Sage of Six Paths, the Rinnegan. It seems that Madara's Rinnegan not only enhanced his strength, but also placed him a level above other ninjas," Shiyu commented.

"The familiar power is back. Now I can relax a bit." Madara Uchiha clenched his fist, then looked around. He quickly noticed Shiyu.

"So this is what Uchiha Shigure looks like? And you have Truth-Seeking Orb Balls on your back?" Madara hadn't sensed the Truth-Seeking Orb before, so he was slightly surprised to see Truth-Seeking Orb now.

"The Yin-Yang Release Sphere contains the Power of All Creation, and possesses the power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. It can only be obtained by mastering the Six Paths power. It seems you have been hiding a lot of strength. No wonder you obediently waited for me to fuse with the Rinnegan. So you were fearless because you had nothing to fear." Madara guessed.

Shiyu pointed at Madara and said, "That's right! The Rinnegan originally belonged to you. If I were to defeat Madara who doesn't have eyes, I would feel extremely ashamed. Therefore, I want to have a proper fight with you."

"Ha! I really like your personality, I admire you! A junior of the Uchiha Clan! But next, I will let you experience the true power of Madara!" Madara Uchiha then charged at Shiyu again.

"Well done!" Shiyu was equally eager to fight. He considered Madara Uchiha, who possessed 100% of his strength, to be the most interesting opponent at the moment.

"Here you go, it was originally yours." Obito suddenly appeared beside Madara and threw out something that looked like a fan. Madara, who was rushing towards Shiyu, immediately grabbed the Uchiha Gunbai.

When Madara caught the Gunbai, he did not slow down his pace toward Shiyu.

Seeing Madara charging towards him, Shiyu clapped his hands together and shouted, "Summoning Technique!"

Immediately afterwards, his weapons, Dragon Fang Blade and Meteorite Blade - Shiyu, appeared in Shiyu's hands amidst the smoke.

Shiyu gripped the hilt of the short-bladed sword with his left hand and the hilt of the meteorite sword with his right, drawing both swords simultaneously. The two sword energies instantly sliced the surrounding trees in half.

Madara Uchiha swung his Gunbai with his right hand, and from somewhere his left hand appeared a scythe resembling that of the Grim Reaper. The two clashed.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Madara was using his Three Tomoe Sharingan at this moment, his eyes moving rapidly as he observed Shiyu's location. Shiyu, on the other hand, relied mainly on his sensory abilities and was less dependent on the Sharingan.

"Bang!" After taking a flying kick from Shiyu, Shigure used the Body Flicker Technique to Teleportation to Madara's side and slashed at him with both his short sword and katana.

"Hmph!" Madara Uchiha raised his index and middle fingers, and directly launched a genjutsu at Shiyu.

"Release!" Shiyu kicked him away again. Although Madara's genjutsu didn't have much effect on Shiyu, it did make Shiyu pause for a moment.

Both of them are now fighting using Taijutsu.

"As expected of Madara, his combat experience is extremely rich. He's probably been fighting ever since he was born and could walk. Every strongman in the Warring States period was a veteran of countless battles. Even I am slightly inferior to him."

"However, it's time for you to use some real power, such as Susanoo?" Although Shiyu was hit by Madara's attack, he was unharmed, and Madara knew that his Taijutsu attacks could no longer harm Shiyu.

"Since that's the case, so be it." Madara Uchiha then emitted an extremely dazzling blue light, and a blue Susanoo, resembling a war god, was fully formed.

Immediately afterward, this Susanoo was perfected into Madara's strongest form: the three-headed, six- Susanoo.

"And you? Aren't you Susanoo? Your eyes should be more than enough for this technique, right?" Madara asked.

"Personally, I don't think so. I can handle it purely with my Taijutsu." Shiyu's words were quite confident, but this angered Madara.

"How arrogant!"

However, Shiyu immediately shouted, "Eight Inner Gates! Gate of Wonder, open!"

Shiyu instantly opened the first Seventh Gate of the Eight Inner Gates, his entire body emitting a strong blue steam, and his eyes appeared to have lost their pupils, which was quite frightening.

Madara Uchiha already wore an expression of disbelief upon merely opening the Seventh Gate.

"Is this the Eight Gates Released Formation?"

"Very few people can cultivate to such a level!"
