The purple fingers suddenly tightened, trapping Madara's body firmly within the giant palm.
Sasuke's left Tomoe Rinnegan locked firmly onto Madara.
"Amaterasu!"
Black flames instantly ignited in Susanoo's palm, surging inward along its closing fingers and swallowing Madara in the blink of an eye.
Madara raised his eyes. Several Truth-Seeking Orbs beside him suddenly elongated into Black Receivers, stabbing fiercely out of the sea of flames!
Crack!
The Black Receivers pierced the base of Susanoo's fingers, and the purple armor instantly cracked. Then Madara threw his arms outward, shattering the enormous palm on the spot!
Large purple fragments burning with black flames flew in every direction, and Madara's figure emerged from the shattered hand.
But this was precisely the instant Chiya had been waiting for.
The Tenseigan's ocular power focused entirely on Madara, and the gravity blanketing the surroundings suddenly surged. Madara's body, which had just broken free, abruptly halted in midair as Chiya appeared before him.
Chiya gripped Futsu no Mitama, its sharp tip thrusting straight toward Madara's chest and abdomen!
Squelch!
The long blade pierced his body, its bloody tip emerging from Madara's back.
Madara abruptly lowered his head, his Rinnegan fixed on the blade embedded in his body.
The next moment, a blue-violet mark on Chiya's left hand instantly lit up!
Futsu no Mitama gave a low hum in Chiya's hand, and the hilt in his palm trembled slightly.
The immense chakra within Madara was immediately drawn out, surging wildly toward the blade through the wound. At first, there were only a few wisps of white chakra, but they soon turned into a nearly viscous dark-red energy.
Roar!!!
A roar suddenly erupted from within Madara's body, accompanied by an explosive wave of chakra that sent the rubble below rolling away.
