Fighting Susanoo / They Fought and Fought, and a Lake Appeared

Simply replace Chakra with Wood Release and change precision strikes to area strikes; that is, change the power of a "god" to the power of a "human".

In reality, being able to use this technique is enough to be considered as transcending the realm of humanity.

But Uchiha Shingen would never consider himself less than human; that sounds like an insult, after all.

The familiar roar echoed through the air once more.

The fully extended Buddha statue atop the mountain stirred up a white storm in the darkness.

That was the radiance of Majestic Attire.

But even amidst that storm, Uchiha Madara's Susanoo shone just as brightly.

To use an analogy that no one in the Hokage world would understand, this is like a Logia-type monster encountering a great swordsman.

He's a dual-wielder.

The white storm is ever-flowing, like a dazzling galaxy, while the blue light representing Uchiha Madara, though small, still advances slowly and steadily in this river.

Specifically, it means that Susanoo powerful.

A single, casual strike on the wall of the neighboring Sunagakure would cleave it through, killing a hundred or so ninjas in the process; otherwise, it wouldn't live Susanoo.

Faced with such power, a single Buddha's fist is certainly no match.

The Majestic Attire is still Majestic Attire; it cannot compare to the power of the Susanoo's true form.

Uchiha Shingen didn't care about that; it was just a test.

His real enemy was the Ōtsutsuki Clan, not Uchiha Madara.

Putting everything else aside, he did draw upon the Nine-Tails' Chakra, yet he never sensed the slightest malice from Uchiha Madara from beginning to end.

Uchiha Madara's hobby of beating up his juniors is truly timeless, unchanged for decades. To be honest, if you think about it carefully, apart from being arrogant, meticulous, extreme, and having a very long rebellious phase, this guy doesn't seem to have any other flaws.

Thinking this, a bright blue light shone ahead, and Uchiha Madara's Susanoo had already broken through the True Several Thousand Hands: Air Strike.

The two swords merged into one, and a single slash, resembling a robe, cleaved the Buddha's body.

Boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, white fragments scattered in all directions—these were the shards of the Buddha's Majestic Attire that had been cleaved open by the attack. The Buddha, which was three times the height of Susanoo, was also slashed and slid backward a considerable distance.

On the walls of Sand Village, even the Sand Ninja who dared to look up at the battle were stunned.

This was the first time they had ever witnessed such an inhuman battle.

They would never believe that a human could have done that.

If you don't think about it that way, the title "Kazekage" is completely an insult.

At this moment, within his Majestic Attire, Uchiha Shingen was also deep in thought.

The enhancement effect of Divine Vacuum Attack on Susanoo has been clearly demonstrated through testing, and the advantages and disadvantages of Wood Release have also been tested.

[Wood Release's flexibility is still lacking...]

He sighed inwardly.

There's no way around it; after all, it's from the previous version. Of course, it's not outdated; in fact, it's much more cost-effective than Divine Vacuum Attack, and in some situations, it's even Susanoo.

Susanoo reflects Yin Release, Wood Release reflects Yang Release; each has its own strengths.

While pondering, Uchiha Shingen didn't stop there, because Uchiha Madara's Reverse Kessatsu was coming again. However, Uchiha Shingen had no intention of continuing to use the Great Buddha. Once the distance was closed, the Great Buddha was definitely no match for the Complete Susanoo that used the Divine Vacuum Attack Technique.

The Four-Tails has worked very hard; its Chakra shouldn't be wasted.

Before Susanoo's sword even reached the Buddha, the Majestic Attire on the Buddha's body fell like petals scattered by a celestial maiden. At this moment, the enormous Buddha lost its spirit and was cleaved in two by Susanoo's sword from bottom to top, slowly tilting to either side.

However, Uchiha Madara did not sheathe his sword. Instead, he manipulated Susanoo to thrust the sword into the ground.

The scattered fragments of the Majestic Attire slid across the ground with a whooshing motion, deftly dodging Susanoo's sword before disappearing into the distance. Then, supported by a massive amount of Chakra that appeared out of nowhere, they quickly pieced themselves back together and rose up again.

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Fighting Susanoo

As a senior with martial virtue, Uchiha Madara always appreciated the fancy skills of his juniors.

Of course, it has to be someone with the surname Uchiha Clan; he has no interest in being a senior to outsiders.

So, Uchiha Madara watched with curiosity as the fragments of the Majestic Attire were pieced together, from the moment he was distracted to the final assembly, and he found it quite interesting.

This is yet another new trick.

Every meeting with Uchiha Shingen brought him a sense of novelty.

This feeling is strangely good.

This reminded him of the passionate years of the Warring States period, well, the time before Izuna died in battle.

That brat would have been better off born in the Warring States period.

The already aged and decrepit Shura thought to himself.

It's said that people become more soft-hearted as they get older. Uchiha Madara didn't believe this before. His own father was anything but soft-hearted back then. When he beat his brothers when they were kids, he was really ruthless, a true master of the stick.

To be honest, I wasn't even this ruthless when I fought the Senju Clan.

However, Uchiha Madara now believed it to some extent, and he felt that he was noticeably more lenient when facing the younger members of his clan.

And here he is, quite the cool guy, waiting patiently for his family's little darling to bring out Susanoo.

"Hmm?" Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow.

That Susanoo across from me seems different in some way?

Uchiha Shingen's Susanoo a rather strange design, which he knows, since they were involved in demolishing the Valley of the End scenic area together.

However, although his appearance was the same as before, Uchiha Madara felt that something was different.

After examining it carefully, he finally discovered it.

It's that whip.

The whip was made of Yasaka Magatama. This cunning kid changed the shape of the Yasaka Magatama. If it weren't for Madara's amazing eye power and keen observation, he almost wouldn't have noticed.

"You brat, you've got some ideas, haven't you?" Uchiha Madara.

On the other side, Uchiha Shingen, who had already completed his Susanoo, was controlling it as Susanoo the sky.

The meaning is quite clear: to fight an aerial battle.

Uchiha Madara, completely satisfied, readily accepted.

In terms of the Chakra output of the Impure World Reincarnation Tensei, he is indeed going all out now, without holding back at all. His Susanoo much larger than it was back in Leaf Village, and he is also very curious to see how much more Uchiha Shingen can achieve.

After all, he's a proud brat, and so far, he hasn't used any of the unique Dōjutsu granted by the Rinnegan on his senior.

This means they absolutely refuse to take advantage of anyone.

He naturally wanted to satisfy such an ambitious junior.

The Kazekage will not be captured, and the Sand Village will also be released.

Offerings? Go catch them in Hidden Mist Village! It doesn't matter where you go, right? He hasn't been to Hidden Mist Village in ages; they still have Tailed Beasts there.

With a joyful heart, Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo and flew into the sky, reaching the same height as Uchiha Shingen.

"Kid, you're not bad," Uchiha Madara said. "You certainly pleased me well."

On the other side, Uchiha Shingen's Susanoo was more substantial than ever before. Like Uchiha Madara, he had also incorporated the Divine Vacuum Attack Technique into the Susanoo.

Due to technological advancements, the Susanoo technique has become more stable; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to string the Yasaka Magatama together into a whip.

It's no joke if this thing isn't set up correctly.

But...

Was he talking to me?

Uchiha Shingen looked at the person opposite him with a puzzled expression. Although the distance wasn't close, his eyesight was good, so he saw Uchiha Madara's mouth opening and closing.

Did this guy get so caught up in the moment that he forgot to activate his Ninjutsu telepathy?

Can that ghost hear me?

"Clan Head," Uchiha Shingen said, activating his Ninjutsu, "I was too focused on the Ninjutsu just now. What did you say?"

Uchiha Madara froze.

He actually made such a basic mistake in front of his junior. Luckily, given this junior's obsession with Ninjutsu, he probably didn't notice... or so I thought!

"It's nothing." Uchiha Madara regained his composure. "Looks like you haven't mastered lip reading, huh? Tsk! These days, do the Uchiha Clan not even teach this basic stuff properly?"

Uchiha Shingen: "..."

Is lip reading used in this context?

We've all been through the Warring States period, you're clearly trying to fool me!

"Times have changed, clan head." Uchiha Shingen didn't point it out, but said with a double meaning, "Actually, if you change your perspective, you'll find there are new directions to explore."

"That goes without saying. Living longer brings different rewards," Uchiha Madara said meaningfully. "Everything has a cause and effect, and cause and effect cannot be severed. How long can your ideas last? I'm looking forward to it."

Uchiha Shingen shut his mouth.

He actually thought he could persuade Uchiha Madara; that's foolish.

The other party is someone who has gone through a lot to get to where they are now. Since they believe in the Eye of the Moon, there must be a reason behind it, which cannot be swayed by words alone.

Changes began to occur in the sky.

However, it was unrelated to the two Uchiha Clan members; it was a mushroom cloud formed by the previous explosion.

It began to "collapse".

Large pieces of debris began to be pulled back to the earth by gravity.

The fragments varied in size, and under the influence of Ninjutsu, they were no longer in their original form.

The stone rain that can only be seen in the Land of Earth begins to fall.

But the stone falling from the sky seemed a bit too big.

Most importantly, many of them are flammable.

A bright red-hot crystal suddenly appeared between the two Susanoo, and it was rather large.

It's not very big, about the size of a single-story detached apartment building.

While obscuring their vision, it also ignited the fighting spirit in both sides.

Blue light emerged from the center of the firestone, dividing it with a straight line.

Immediately following were several flashes of light, which cleaved the crystal into more than a dozen pieces, while the blue Susanoo had already rushed past its original location.

But what awaited it was the white whip of Susanoo.

Perhaps, calling it the Yata Whip would be more appropriate.

Seeing this thing rushing towards him like a living creature, even though Uchiha Madara was in the Impure World Reincarnation form, he still felt a little uncomfortable, so he used a clever trick.

While this cleverness appears in Susanoo, it seems rather uncouth.

The Yasaka Whip was deflected off its attack trajectory by the Susanoo Yata Whip and a long section of it was cut off.

However, with this attack, Uchiha Shingen's Susanoo had already created a distance of about 100 meters, and the Yata Whip had also stretched out to a great length. It then "whooshed" back from the cut, faster than Lightning Release.

Within the core of Susanoo, Uchiha Shingen made a fist gesture towards the severed Yata Whip in the distance.

Boom--!

Amidst a deafening roar, a burst of white light erupted.

In a physical sense, it shook the heavens.

Chapter 78 As the fighting went on, the lake appeared.

As a man who grew up dreaming of the mighty steel, Uchiha Shingen's fascination with firepower was a constant throughout his ninja career.

Explosive Tag are firepower.

Ninjutsu is also a form of firepower.

If there's no booming sound, then create the conditions for it.
