Ch. 241The Gap in Strength Between Naruto and Madara Uchiha
Naruto overwhelmed Madara Uchiha, whose attacks could not match Naruto’s Six Paths power and Sage Art. The Ten-Tails then emerged from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and Madara reflected on how his pursuit of peace had begun after Hashirama betrayed him.
- Madara Uchiha seized Sasuke and challenged Naruto, then attacked him with Wood Release.
- Madara learned that Hashirama Senju had been defeated and attacked Naruto with Susanoo, but Naruto shattered it.
- Madara sent Wood Release Clones and Susanoo against Naruto, who repelled their Yasaka Beads and destroyed them with Sage Art and concentrated chakra.
- The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path transformed directly into the Ten-Tails and attacked Naruto with Cutting Sprigs.
- Madara recalled that Hashirama’s betrayal had made him pursue peace at any cost, though peace existed only in an individual’s fantasy.
