Five Kage Join Forces to Shatter the Armor, Madara Forcibly Tears Up the Contract!

In the morning, at the Southern Eighth Canyon, the lingering heat from the meteorite explosion still baked the air, making even breathing feel like it was burning your throat.

The roots of the White Zetsu, marked with spots, burst forth from the ground. Hundreds and thousands of thick trunks twisted and rose from the earth, instantly transforming the desolate Rocky Ground into a man-eating primeval forest.

"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Naruto snorted coldly, and five pure golden Yang Release chains lashed out like whips, directly shattering several thick tree trunks that were about to strike him, sending wood chips flying everywhere.

"This old man also does landscaping?" Naruto brushed the pieces of wood off his shoulder.

A piercing whistle suddenly echoed through the sky. A blue teleportation beam slammed straight into the open space in the center of the battlefield. As the beam dissipated, Tsunade Earth Flow sweat, the edges of her Hokage Haori still bearing scorch marks from the Heavenly Transfer Technique.

"You brat, you're not dead yet, are you?" Tsunade exhaled a breath of foul Obito air.

"Tsunade, your entrance is quite a waste of your clothes," Naruto grinned.

High in the sky, Madara stood atop the broken Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, looking down at the five people who had gathered below.

He suddenly spread his hands outwards.

The azure Chakra erupted without restraint, like a tangible tsunami, instantly crushing the newly grown sea of trees to dust. Bones, meridians, flesh, and finally a thick layer of Tengu Armor. A Perfect Susanoo, towering two hundred meters tall, forcefully pierced through the gloom in the sky and stood atop the ruins.

Its massive body blocked out the sun, and its enormous shadow completely enveloped the Five Kage and Naruto.

Madara stood in the diamond-shaped space on Susanoo's forehead, looking down at him with a cold gaze. Susanoo drew two large Chakra swords from its waist.

The mere wind pressure generated by drawing the sword carved deep grooves into the surrounding rocks.

Ban casually waved his hand.

"Call--"

Without any fancy Hand Seals, a blue crescent-shaped sword aura hundreds of meters long sliced through the ground. The once towering mountain ridge in the distance, without even making a sound, was displaced in the middle, and the upper half of the mountain collapsed with a crash, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Gaara swallowed hard. "This is... the Perfect Form..."

Ōnoki, whose back was stiff from years of pain, said, "With this noise, this old man really wants to retire immediately and go hold his granddaughter."

Tsunade slammed her hands together, instantly dispelling the Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead, and black runes spread across her face. "Old man, if you want to retire, you have to finish this battle first! Now is not the time to watch the show!"

She stomped on the stone slab beneath her feet, shattering it. "Prepare for a coordinated attack! Don't hold back your trump cards if you don't want to die!"

Ōnoki gritted his teeth and placed his hands on the Raikage's broad back. "Earth Release: Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique!"

The Raikage burst forth with blinding lightning, his once burly and heavy body instantly becoming as light as a feather. He stomped his feet heavily, creating a large crater in the ground, and transformed into a blue lightning bolt that was impossible to detect with the naked eye, heading straight for Susanoo's face.

"Mizukage!" Ōnoki roared.

Terumi Mei didn't need his prompting; she quickly Hand Seals and spat out a mouthful of highly corrosive viscous liquid. "Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!"

Yellowish-green acid cascaded down onto the right rib armor of Susanoo. The strong acid rubbed violently against the high-density Chakra, producing a piercing hissing sound and billowing white smoke. A thin dent was corroded into the thick Tengu Armor.

"Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!" Using the speed boost from the Light-Weight Rock Technique, the Raikage instantly appeared in front of the crater, his Lightning Release Chakra compressed to its limit as he slashed down fiercely!

"Snap!"

The seemingly indestructible Susanoo armor finally cracked under the double attack, revealing a long fissure. But this wasn't the end of it. Madara snorted coldly, and the large hand of Susanoo reached out to grab the Raikage.

The ground suddenly churned, Gaara raised his hands high. A massive amount of sand transformed into two thick chains, tightly binding Susanoo's legs and the outstretched arm. The sand creaked and groaned as it was pulled, abruptly halting Madara's movements for half a second.

"Now!"

Tsunade stepped onto the sand staircase raised by Gaara, launching herself into the air like a cannonball, her right fist stretched back to its limit. The powerful punch, imbued with the power of the Strength of a Hundred Seal Chakra, slammed precisely into the crack cleaved open by the Raikage.

"Monster Strength - Cherry Blossom Impact!"

"Boom--!!!"

With a deafening roar, Susanoo's rib armor shattered completely, and its massive body was forced to stagger backward by the punch, taking three large steps back and crushing a layer of rock beneath its feet.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ōnoki pulled the Raikage back quickly, and the Five Kage landed back on the ground, panting heavily.

As the smoke cleared, Madara stood inside the somewhat damaged Susanoo diamond-shaped crystal, glancing down at the shattered armor. He wasn't angry; instead, a strange appreciation shone through his Rinnegan.

"Not bad. A bit more durable than I expected." Madara's voice resonated throughout the area through his Chakra. "Although I haven't worn this armor in a long time, being able to shatter it, you, as the current Kage, are barely qualified."

His composed and demeanor showed that he didn't take the previous disadvantage seriously at all.

Thirty meters away from the Five Kage, Tenten frantically threw out several Kunai with Explosive Tag attached, blasting away the approaching White Zetsu Clone. "Naruto, what are you standing there for! Go and beat him up!"

Naruto stood still, hands in his pockets, not rushing forward.

His eyes had long since switched to pure Byakugan, his gaze fixed intently on Ban's chest.

"Something's not right." Naruto spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"What's wrong?" Tenten asked.

"That face... he's eating." Naruto frowned.

When the meteorite collided, he unleashed a large amount of Pure Yang Chakra. At this moment, in the Byakugan's vision, the Yang Release Chakra floating in the air was transforming into wisps of golden light, which were greedily absorbed into the Hashirama face transplanted onto Madara's chest.

Even more critically, through the spiritual perception of the Great Evolution Divine Soul Art, Naruto clearly saw the condition inside Madara's body.

Kabuto Yakushi, that self-righteous fool, forcibly poured the Ten-Tails 'Chakra overflowing from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path into Impure World Body in order to give Madara the strength to fight the entire Allied Shinobi Forces alone. But the Ten-Tails' power was too violent, and the Impure World Control Talisman that Kabuto had placed in Madara's mind was already riddled with holes.

The runes were so loose, almost like a layer of window paper.

Kabuto's belief that he has control over the gods is a joke. This old monster is not under his control at all; he can cut Kabuto's threads and take over whenever he wants.

Madara, mid-air, suddenly turned his head away from the Five Kage below, instead casting his gaze towards the Northern Wasteland. That was the direction where Obito Uchiha.

"Obito, your little schemes are too slow," Madara muttered to himself, his voice low but filled with deep dissatisfaction. "When will you ever finish the Infinite Tsukuyomi with your sneaky tricks?"

He slowly lowered his head and looked at Naruto again.

"Nine-Tails brat, your Chakra is very much to this piece of meat's liking." Madara pointed to Hashirama his chest. "Now that the Ten-Tails has opened its eyes, I'm too lazy to play these childish games with you anymore."

Ban clasped his hands together instantly.

This time, it wasn't Hand Seals for casting Ninjutsu. As he moved, the pale Hashirama face on his chest suddenly twisted. Then, the tightly closed eyes on that face snapped open, even emitting an extremely strange shriek. Several thick Wood Release roots burst through the skin of that face and pierced Madara's own shoulder and neck!

"He's gone mad?! What is he doing?!" Ōnoki exclaimed in shock.

Naruto's Mind's Eye of the Kagura was alarming violently; an extremely violent life force, completely transcending the limits of the Impure World Reincarnation, was awakening wildly.

"Back off! Everyone back off!" Naruto instantly conjured two Rasenshuriken in his hands. "This old bastard is going to unilaterally break the Impure World Reincarnation contract!"

The blue, Perfect Susanoo, entangled by the Wood Release: Root, began to undergo a bizarre mutation; traces of pure dark red seeped from its originally deep blue Chakra. Madara's maniacal laughter echoed throughout the canyon, "Now, I'll teach you what true despair is!"
