Booms echoed across the island, one after another, before coming to a stop along a stretch of coast.
Madara swung the Long Halberd in his hands, destroying every Shadow Clone that rushed him.
Beneath its blade, the Shadow Clones burst one after another into clouds of white smoke.
Before one cloud had cleared, the next wave of Shadow Clones charged in.
"Is that all you've got, kid?"
Madara held the Long Halberd across his body. The flames coiling around its shaft suddenly surged, swallowing the last few Shadow Clones!
"Keep dancing. Make this... even more fun for me!"
Before Madara had finished speaking, he sensed the terrifying pressure bearing down from above.
He snapped his head up and took in the change sweeping across the sky.
High in the air, Kou hovered among the clouds with eight Shadow Clones. Each held a Rasenshuriken infused with Senjutsu and tailed-beast power, each packed with enough force to bring ruin to everything below!
Kou's real body stood at the center. He locked onto the black-armored figure below, and all nine Rasenshuriken flew from their hands at once!
"Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken!"
Nine arcs of different colors streaked across the sky like falling stars, washing it in a dazzling curtain of light.
The nine Rasenshuriken closed in on Madara from every direction, cutting off every path of escape!
Madara watched the attack approach. Far from looking concerned, he seemed more unrestrained than ever.
He made no futile attempt to dodge. Instead, he shot straight toward the nine Rasenshuriken like a meteor flying against its course.
Crimson steam began to pour from Madara's speeding body, shrouding him in a dense red haze...
Eight Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken struck him.
In the next instant, blinding light erupted and swallowed everything in white.
