The Battle Prowess of Elder Madara, Madara's Despair!

Mountain Graveyard.

Ato stood with his arms crossed, looking down at Masked Madara below him.

Beep, beep, beep.

Ato's Scouter clearly displayed Masked Madara's current power level.

85!!

Ato looked at Masked Madara below, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Madara Uchiha had not disappointed him after all.

Even in his current decrepit state, with barely any life force remaining, he still possessed a power level of 85.

The current Madara Uchiha was enough to be called the strongest in the Ninja World!

"Are you the Saiyan Ato?"

On the ground, Madara Uchiha looked up at Ato in the sky, the crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan on his spiral mask spinning rapidly.

Boom!

Using the Sharingan's perceptive ability, Madara Uchiha saw the chakra within Ato's body.

It was incomparably vast, radiating golden light like the sun.

"What an enormous amount of chakra!"

Madara Uchiha's face was filled with amazement.

The amount of chakra within Ato far surpassed even Madara Uchiha at his peak!

"Lord Madara, let's run!"

"Shut up, Tobi!"

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, then wore the Uchiha Clan's classic maniacal grin.

"Let me, Madara Uchiha, see what kind of power you possess as a Saiyan."

Madara Uchiha's crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly as the chakra within him instantly transformed into a massive chakra cloak.

"Madara, can someone as old as you still dance?"

Ato looked coldly at Madara Uchiha's wild posture below and asked with interest.

"Saiyan, I am the Ghost of the Ninja World!"

Madara Uchiha snorted, then swiftly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction."

Boom!

Madara Uchiha opened his mouth and spat out a vast sea of flames.

The blazing heat caused the somewhat chilly Mountain Graveyard's temperature to soar by more than ten degrees in an instant.

The overwhelming sea of fire surged into the sky and spread toward Ato.

Looking at the flames below, Ato merely waved his hand lightly.

Pop.

The enormous sea of fire instantly vanished, turning into countless tiny sparks that fell to the ground like a rain of fiery meteors.

"What happened? Lord Madara, where did your huge sea of fire go? How did it disappear?"

Tobi asked in utter shock and confusion.

"Is this the power of a Saiyan? If ninjutsu won't work, then I'll use taijutsu." Madara Uchiha was equally shocked.

Amid his shock, he felt the long-lost sense of danger that came from encountering a formidable enemy.

That sense of danger gradually made his blood boil.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon!"

Boom!

Countless tree roots burst from the ground beneath Madara Uchiha's feet, twisting around one another and forming a lifelike giant Wood Dragon.

The Wood Dragon's scales were clearly defined. The thirty-meter-tall dragon coiled through the air.

The height of its head was exactly level with Ato's position.

Ato casually looked at the Wood Dragon before him and Madara Uchiha standing atop it.

The Scouter clearly displayed Madara Uchiha's current power level.

130!

After using Wood Release, Madara Uchiha's power level had soared to 130.

Roar!

The Wood Dragon suddenly threw back its head and roared, then swiftly spiraled through the sky and lunged at Ato with earth-shattering force.

"Now this is somewhat interesting.

But it's still too weak."

Ato neither dodged nor avoided it. He merely raised his hand lightly, and a beam of light burst forth from his palm.

Boom!

The next second, the light beam shot into the Wood Dragon's open mouth, and then rays of light erupted from its massive body.

Before Madara Uchiha's horrified gaze, the light beam that had entered the Wood Dragon's mouth exploded violently.

The Wood Dragon, capable of restraining Tailed Beasts, was reduced to dust in an instant.

Madara Uchiha was likewise blasted bloody by the explosion and slammed heavily onto the ground.

"Lord Madara, Lord Madara..."

Tobi's anxious cries made Madara Uchiha struggle to open his eyes.

He stared blankly at Ato in the sky.

For the first time, he felt something called despair.

Crushed!

Absolutely crushed!

Just a casual attack had reduced the Wood Dragon to dust.

Even when facing Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha had never felt such despair.

"If I were at my peak, if I were at my peak..." Madara Uchiha removed his spiral mask, his aged eyes fixed tightly on Ato as intense unwillingness surged within him.

If he were not currently at death's door.

If he were not so old now.

How could he possibly have lost so easily?

At that moment, Madara Uchiha desperately wished to resurrect immediately.

To return to his peak condition.

Then he would trample the lofty Saiyan beneath his feet and defend the Uchiha Clan's honor.

Ato did not care in the slightest about Madara Uchiha's thoughts.

He slowly descended, then walked over to Madara Uchiha.

"Madara Uchiha, the current you is completely unqualified to dance before me."

Ato stepped on Madara Uchiha's head, directly crushing the pride of the Uchiha Clan beneath his foot.

Then, under Madara Uchiha's furious gaze, he tapped the Scouter twice.

Two Micro Cell Collection Robots began rapidly collecting Madara Uchiha's blood and the Hashirama Cells in his chest.

After collecting Madara Uchiha's cells and the Hashirama Cells.

Ato turned his gaze toward the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

He was still quite interested in the Ten-Tails' shell.

Ato wanted to use Tuffles technology to study the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Although the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had lost most of its power after losing the Ten-Tails' chakra.

It still contained immense life force within it.

Ato planned to seal the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path directly inside his body, allowing it to provide him with a constant supply of life force.

As long as he sealed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path within his body, Ato only needed to start with One-Tail Shukaku and absorb the nine Tailed Beasts into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in order.

Then, he could directly become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

At that point, he would only need to continuously supply it with planetary energy to reverse the Ten-Tails into the Divine Tree and condense a God Tree Fruit.

"Now that I think about it, it seems I can plant trees on other planets too."

No sooner thought than done.

Ato walked up to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and directly grabbed one of the white spikes on its back.

Then he shot into the sky.

Boom!

Ato carried the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and vanished from the Mountain Graveyard.

Only after Ato's figure had completely disappeared did Madara Uchiha slowly climb up from the ground.

His body had grown even more hunched.

He glanced at the place where the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had originally stood, his eyes flickering.

Ato's strength had surpassed Madara Uchiha's imagination.

He knew that with such an aged body, he had no chance of defeating Ato.

Only by resurrecting and returning to his peak condition would he have any possibility of defeating Ato.

"Tobi, take me to Konoha!"

Madara Uchiha's gaze gradually turned cold. The spiral mask on his face closed as he gave Tobi the order in a deep voice.

"Understood, Lord Madara."

Tobi responded, then his entire body slowly sank into the ground.

"Saiyan Ato, I will show you my third power!"

Madara Uchiha's aged and cold voice came from within Tobi's body.

Then Madara Uchiha slowly closed his eyes.

After the battle just now, he had only three days left to live.

He needed to use those three days to find a suitable successor from the Uchiha Clan and let him obtain the Uchiha's third power.
