The three tomoe in Madara's eyes spun as he controlled his Susanoo. Its four hands closed around empty air, creating a deep-blue chakra sword in each palm.
Susanoo raised its arms high and swung its swords, unleashing four waves of sword aura powerful enough to split rivers and seas. Even the earth and mountains were cleaved apart.
One wave flew several kilometers, nearly reaching Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others fighting the Nine-Tails in the distance.
Not all four waves flew toward Uchiha Mai. Rather than an attack, this was more a show of force from Madara, like a lion's roar.
Uchiha Mai stood motionless with one hand on his hip, controlling his Susanoo to swing the Demon-Subduing Vajra and smash the incoming sword aura.
"If that's all you've got, I suggest you stop showing off. It's not very interesting," Uchiha Mai said calmly.
The sword aura unleashed by Susanoo was certainly powerful, but it still fell short of attacks from Susanoo itself. It was not enough to breach another Susanoo's defenses.
Uh.
Uchiha Madara paused briefly, then threw his head back and laughed. "Ahahahahaha...
"As expected of Izuna's great-grandson! As expected of a member of the Uchiha Clan... Interesting. Very interesting."
Uchiha Mai: ???
Although he had no idea why Madara was laughing so wildly, Uchiha Mai could not shake the feeling that he was losing in terms of style.
"Ahahahaha..." Uchiha Mai suddenly threw his head back and laughed too. I, Uchiha Mai, have never been outdone by anyone!
"What are you laughing at?" Madara asked.
Uchiha Mai's laughter stopped abruptly. "I saw you laughing, so I laughed too," he said calmly.
When it comes to wild laughter, I, Uchiha Mai, stand above you!
"You're even more interesting than I imagined."
Uchiha Madara grinned. "But laughing wildly isn't enough.
