Revive! My Ancestor

Sage Fukasaku saw Madara on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, noticed the tubes connected to the statue's back, and his eyes lit up.

"Little Jiraiya, Madara Uchiha is already on his last legs. The only reason he's still alive is because of the power of that monster beneath his feet."

"Little Jiraiya, destroy the tubes behind him, and he'll be finished for good."

Jiraiya nodded. He had noticed the burden on Madara's back too.

"Orochimaru, we go together!"

"Cough, cough..."

Madara violently spat out a mouthful of blood, and his hair turned pale again.

Without the Rinnegan, driving the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with only the residual Rinnegan power left in his body was burning away his life.

Madara felt as if he had aged several more years.

He looked toward the place where Liao Wu and Tsunade were fighting.

"Liao Wu, if I die, the Curse Mark will erupt with me. When that happens, you won't survive either."

"Haaah!"

Tsunade swung a Monstrous Strength punch at Liao Wu, and Liao Wu quickly dodged.

Liao Wu looked somewhat strange at that moment.

His whole body was enclosed in a set of exoskeletal armor the color of White Zetsu's skin. The exoskeleton looked like entwined vines, covering Liao Wu's whole body.

There was a pair of retractable, sharp Wooden Thorns at the Shoulder Armor, and another pair on the arms.

The Wooden Thorns were extremely sharp, and any Chakra that touched them would be absorbed. Tsunade had nearly fallen for Liao Wu's trick.

Liao Wu—White Zetsu Biological Armor!

Liao Wu's Biological Armor was made from the Active White Zetsu Torso. In other words, he used his Life Spores to generate White Zetsu, then had the White Zetsu cover his body and transform into Biological Armor.

It could continuously provide Liao Wu with Chakra, protect his vital areas, and even repair itself after being damaged.

Because the armor was alive, whenever Tsunade was about to hit him, if Liao Wu failed to react in time, the armor would autonomously carry Liao Wu away.

After fighting for a long while, Tsunade was growing irritated by how slippery Liao Wu was.

"Damn it, Liao Wu, can't you just fight me properly?"

Liao Wu stopped and took a heavy breath.

Fighting Tsunade did not allow him a single moment of ease. Liao Wu had to keep his White Zetsu Exoskeleton running at maximum output.

Chakra was pouring out as if his life did not matter, and two of the Life Spores inside his body had already been used.

Fighting a Kage-level Ninja like Tsunade was still too much for Liao Wu. He lacked a decisive Trump Card.

The Mangekyo, or the complete version of Hashirama Cells!

Liao Wu shouted at Tsunade, "Tsunade, stop for a moment! If we keep fighting, I'm going to die!"

Taking advantage of Liao Wu's brief daze, Tsunade suddenly used Body Flicker to appear beside him, smashed a punch into his body, and drove him straight into the earth.

"I'm sorry, Liao Wu!"

With one punch, before the White Zetsu Exoskeleton could even react, Liao Wu's meridians were all severed, and his Internal Organs were sent flying.

Tsunade knelt down, a tear falling from her eye. This time, it was not Minato. This time, she was the one who sent Liao Wu on his way.

Hashirama Senju was Tsunade's grandfather. As a member of the Senju Clan, no one understood Hashirama Senju's strength better than they did.

And Madara Uchiha, who stood on the same level as Hashirama Senju, terrified the Senju Clan even more.

Madara Uchiha did not like eating beef. If he said he would kill, he killed. He was a complete Cold-Blooded Asura.

Tsunade absolutely would not allow Madara Uchiha to bring disaster to the Ninja World again.

On the other side.

Mount Myōboku's Toad Three Brothers and Orochimaru's Orochi held back the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya had made their way onto the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima cast their technique at the same time.

"Sage Art: Demonic Illusion—Toad Song!"

Sage Mode Toad Song was recognized in Hokage as the strongest sound-based Illusion Technique.

This ninjutsu used a choral scale passed down in secret by Mount Myōboku, triggering an Illusion Technique through sound waves.

Those caught in the technique would be dragged into the "Fudo Myo'o Barrier," surrounded on all four sides by Giant Toads engraved with "Fu," "Do," "Myo," and "O." Their minds would be completely bound, their bodies unable to move, and even space itself would distort.

The Giant Toads would use the Mount Myōboku Secret Stone Sword to pierce the vital points of those caught in the technique, causing them to leave the Illusion Technique and die.

Jiraiya had relied on the Two Toad Sages' extremely powerful Illusion Technique to bewilder Pain and Cripple three of Nagato's Pains.

Jiraiya and Nagato's battle was lost because of a lack of information.

It was Jiraiya's first time fighting the Rinnegan. He did not know there were still three Pains hiding in the dark, which allowed them to guard against Toad Song.

The Naraka Path had not been dealt with immediately, allowing him to resurrect the three Pain bodies that had been beaten down, which led to Jiraiya's final defeat.

If all Six Paths had come out at once, Toad Song could have controlled all six in one go.

To Some Extent, a Ninja's battle was a battle of intelligence.

It was Madara's first time encountering This Technique, and even an illusion Master like him, someone who had awakened the Rinnegan before, was controlled at the first moment! He was directly dragged into Mount Myōboku Illusion Space.

Even the Rinnegan could be controlled, let alone Madara Uchiha, who currently only had one Three Tomoe Sharingan.

Damn it!

Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword viciously severed the tubes connecting Madara to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Madara's hair turned completely white in an instant, and even White Zetsu could no longer provide him with vitality.

"Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!"

Jiraiya added sage arts to the Rasengan, and the Rasengan instantly became a Super Big Ball Rasengan.

He carried the Giant Rasengan and slammed it into Madara's body. The violent surge of Chakra directly smashed Madara into scraps.

In an instant, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path seemed to lose its soul and stopped moving.

The battlefield fell silent, even the wind stopped.

Madara Uchiha... was dead!

The Toad Three Brothers cheered in unison.

"Your mother, Orochimaru!"

Orochi broke free from Orochimaru's Puppet Talisman and stared at the destroyed Madara Uchiha, his snake pupils widening in shock.

"Madara Uchiha got beaten to death?!"

"Great! We're really amazing!"

Orochimaru revealed a look of wild joy. Without even sealing the smoke, he prepared to lick Madara's loot box.

If he obtained Madara's Body Tissue, Orochimaru would be able to Impure World Reincarnation Madara Uchiha, and then he would know all of his secrets.

Orochimaru had a premonition that Madara's secrets might be even more precious than eternal life!

Did you beat him, and now you want to eat?

Jiraiya did not dispel Sage Mode. His Hand Seal was aimed at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru had already turned his back on Leaf Village's Will of Fire.

"It's over..."

Tsunade looked at Madara Uchiha's end and sighed. No matter how illustrious a Ninja's reputation was, the day of his passing would come eventually.

It had been so for Grandfather, and it was the same for Madara Uchiha!

Only, was all of this truly that easy?

"What a pity, brother, what a pity!"

Liao Wu's voice rang out inexplicably.

Tsunade's heart instantly leapt into her throat.

Everyone, along with the Summoning Beasts, looked toward the head of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in unison.

They saw Liao Wu holding the white-haired Old Madara by the hair. At this moment, Madara had left the life supply of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and his vitality was like a flame about to go out.

Jiraiya's eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. He looked back at the spot where the Super Big Ball Rasengan had blasted Madara into human dregs.

There was nothing there at all?

Genjutsu?!

Orochimaru's Vertical Pupils stretched round in a wide stare. He wanted to loot the body, but there was nothing at the spot where Madara Uchiha had died.

It was as if all of them had been caught in an illusion.

What exactly was going on?

"Izanagi, the Uchiha Clan's ultimate Forbidden Technique."

"The principle behind this technique is to cast an Ultimate Illusion Technique on the Caster himself. The instant it is activated, the Sharingan records the Caster's current complete state."

"Within the effective duration of the technique, any damage the Caster suffers, even something as extreme as death, will be converted into Dreamscape, leaving only favorable facts behind."

In other words, within Izanagi's effective illusion duration, Uchiha people were undying.

This Technique could be called Uchiha's Ultimate Dojutsu and a Forbidden Technique, but the price was that the Sharingan used to activate it would go permanently blind.

Looking at Madara, the Sharingan in his right eye had already lost its light, turning into a white pupil without any black.

Sage Fukasaku roared, "Little Jiraiya, hurry and stop him! He's going to resurrect Madara Uchiha!"

"Liao Wu, don't even think about it!"

"Sage Art: Super Big Ball Rasengan!"

"Kusanagi Sword: Sky Tachi!"

Secret Technique: Chaos Body Charge!

Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade all cast their ninjutsu and flew toward the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Jiraiya still used his Senjutsu: Super Big Ball Rasengan. Orochimaru forcefully extended the Kusanagi Sword, and Tsunade charged straight ahead with her Monstrous Strength.

If he could, Liao Wu truly did not want to give his life to Madara.

Madara used electricity, then the Curse Mark—was that anything a venerable ancestor should do?

He was completely Madara Old Demon!

But there was No choice. Black Zetsu said the Curse Mark inside Liao Wu's body was tied to Madara's life.

If Madara died, Liao Wu had to die too.

Maybe Liao Wu wouldn't die, because he still had lives left, but Black Zetsu said that was a Curse Mark formed from Yin Yang Release. No matter how many lives Liao Wu had, they would all die along with Madara.

Liao Wu didn't know whether Black Zetsu was bluffing.

He did not dare gamble, and even less dared gamble with his own life.

He still hadn't enjoyed any good fortune!

At least let him take one breath of good fortune first!

Chimera: Reverse Plunder Regeneration, activate!

Liao Wu pressed a hand onto Madara's back.

"Revive! My Ancestor—"
