Perfect Susanoo

In the southern forest of the Land of Fire battlefield.

The blue Susanoo swung the Chakra longsword in its hand, slashing straight down at Takenaka Kaguya.

Its sharp aura carried enough force to destroy heaven and earth.

It had to be said that, in terms of attack power in the Naruto World, Madara Uchiha's Susanoo was certainly among the very best.

Across from him, Takenaka watched the blade wielded by Madara Uchiha's Susanoo with an extremely grave expression, just about to dodge aside.

With his speed, coupled with the precognitive abilities of Observation Haki, this attack might have been immensely powerful, but it was also exceedingly clumsy.

However, just as he was about to evade, a ding suddenly rang out in his mind.

Immediately afterward, a system mission appeared. "Madara Uchiha is the only powerful being in the entire Naruto World capable of rivaling the God of Shinobi. If you do not take his ultimate move head-on, how can you call yourself strong?

Mission reward: Six Powers beginner proficiency."

Takenaka's brows furrowed at the sudden mission prompt, but his gaze quickly turned resolute.

Without wasting any words, he acted. The system in his body had rarely issued him missions over the years.

If it had not suddenly chimed today, Takenaka might have forgotten about it entirely.

Boom!

A terrifying surge of natural Chakra erupted from Takenaka's body, rapidly absorbing the natural energy in the air.

"Oh?"

Atop Susanoo's head, Madara Uchiha noticed it as well and immediately grew interested. Yet because of that, he pressed his right hand down even faster.

In an instant, Susanoo's Chakra longsword slashed down even more swiftly.

Sage Mode · Shikotsumyaku · Bone Shield!

The bones in his hand rapidly grew, forming a shield under the stimulation of Sage Mode Chakra.

Moreover, since he did not know the strength of Susanoo's attack, he deliberately coated it in Armament Haki for safety's sake.

Clang!

In the blink of an eye, Susanoo's longsword came crashing down against Takenaka's Black Bone Shield. As the immense force traveled through the blade, Takenaka's face flushed red. The tremendous pressure drove his entire body downward, the earth swallowing his legs up to the calves, yet his upper body remained completely still.

Still, Madara Uchiha was truly formidable when he got serious. Though Takenaka's Black Bone Shield had blocked most of the attack, the forest behind him was carved with a ravine more than a hundred meters long.

As expected of Lord Madara. A casual strike while controlling Susanoo possessed such terrifying power. Takenaka's expression grew solemn.

It could be said that while Madara Uchiha's move looked incredibly powerful, with almost nothing able to resist it in its path, only by truly taking it head-on could one fully understand that overwhelming strength.

"Ding. Mission complete. Six Powers beginner proficiency acquired."

As the system's voice sounded in his mind, Takenaka immediately felt a great deal of new knowledge appear in his head.

However, he had no time to examine it now, because Madara Uchiha's second Chakra longsword was already slashing toward him again.

"Hmph."

Takenaka snorted coldly, then used Soru from the newly acquired Six Powers to instantly leave Madara Uchiha's attack range.

Whoosh.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

His Soru was fast, but Madara Uchiha's reactions were not slow either. The moment Takenaka left his original position, Madara Uchiha had already reacted.

After repeatedly observing Takenaka's movements and confirming that it was not a teleportation technique, Madara Uchiha, standing atop Susanoo's head, frowned and muttered, "Good kid. So he really is a genius. This method of movement seems to use no Chakra.

What a pity. We are destined to be enemies. Otherwise, sparing your life would not have been impossible."

However, just as Madara Uchiha was thinking this, Takenaka's figure suddenly appeared before him.

With lightning speed, Takenaka swung the Black Bone Blade in his hand, releasing a streak of black sword energy. Not only that, his feet became like blades as they kicked out sword energy as well.

"So fast."

Madara Uchiha was startled. He controlled Susanoo to raise its left arm before him while simultaneously directing the Chakra longsword in its right hand at Takenaka.

Takenaka was not flustered in the slightest. As long as he did not confront it head-on, his speed was not slow.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.

Three arcs of sword energy struck Madara Uchiha's Susanoo. In particular, the sword energy unleashed by the Black Bone Blade directly severed Susanoo's arm.

Furthermore, although the Rankyaku unleashed from his feet was somewhat weaker, with no arm left to block it, it struck directly against the crystal in front of Madara Uchiha.

Crack, crack!

Within the crystal, Madara Uchiha's expression was incomparably ugly. Takenaka's attacks were neither painful nor itchy to him, even weaker than the wound that had previously cut across his chest. Yet his Susanoo's defense had been broken by a genius boy only twelve or thirteen years old.

"Damn it. At such a young age, you already possess such swordsmanship. If you were given more time to grow, perhaps you would become someone capable of entertaining me besides Hashirama.

But a genius who has not yet grown up cannot be considered a true strong man."

Madara Uchiha muttered to himself. Then, an immense wave of Chakra erupted once again. The next second, a Chakra skeleton emerged from Susanoo's severed arm, followed by muscles and clothing restoring themselves one after another.

Not only that, a layer of Crow Tengu Armor formed over Susanoo's body, and its size grew enormous.

Not far away, Takenaka's expression became even more grave as he stared at Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo.

"This is Susanoo's fourth form. It seems Madara Uchiha has developed killing intent toward me." With that thought, Takenaka's brows creased slightly. Then, within his perception, a surge of Chakra somewhat stronger than Madara's was rapidly approaching, along with another person whose Chakra exceeded that of an ordinary Kage-level powerhouse.

"Oh, it seems Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju have come as well. Makes sense. This place is not far from the Ninja headquarters of the Land of Fire. With Madara Uchiha unleashing such powerful Chakra, it would be strange if Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju failed to sense it." Takenaka thought to himself.

Suddenly, atop Susanoo's head, Madara Uchiha frowned. Then he shouted at Takenaka, "You dare lose focus while fighting me?"

Before his words had even faded, an unprecedented life-or-death crisis suddenly arose in Takenaka's heart.

"Damn it, I was careless."

Bang!

Takenaka swiftly raised the Black Bone Shield in his hand before him, but a slash at least two hundred percent more powerful than the previous one crashed into it.

Crack, crack!

In an instant, Takenaka flew backward like a kite with its string cut.

As he was sent flying, the Bone Shield reinforced with Sage Mode and Armament Haki continued to shatter in his hand.

Takenaka's body smashed through several large trees before finally stopping. After checking his condition, he spat out another mouthful of blood.

This is troublesome. Madara Uchiha alone is enough of a headache. Add Hashirama Senju, who is even stronger, and Tobirama Senju, who possesses the Flying Thunder God Technique... this is simply fatal.
