The sight was already staggering. The explosion's power was nothing to underestimate, either.
Under the raging lightning, massive, solid Buddha hands were torn to pieces, then swallowed by the blinding glare.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions rang out one after another. On closer look, the Buddha hands were being obliterated piece by piece!
Within seconds, the explosion's first wave had destroyed all thousand-plus arms!
Not a single fragment remained. Every Buddha hand had been reduced to ash by the lightning storm!
The storm's next target was the statue's head—right where Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju stood.
"Hah!" Madara Uchiha felt the tremendous force bearing down from above.
He held firm against the pressure, and Chakra surged out of his body once more.
The Susanoo covering the giant Buddha seemed to grow a little more solid.
Boom!

Thick arcs of electricity lashed wildly, and pale blue ripples spread across the ground.
Raigo was a thousand meters above the ground, but anyone standing beneath it would have been electrocuted instantly!
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, struck speechless by the sight above.
It was like an enormous azure flower blooming in midair—beautiful, yet terrifying.
The lightning was so dazzling that no one could see what was happening, much less tell whether the attack had worked.
But Madara Uchiha felt Raigo's terrifying power all too clearly.
Crack, crack...
The Susanoo trembled slightly. A crack appeared at the top of its head, where the damage was greatest.
As the lightning storm continued to batter it, the fierce tengu mask was covered in jagged cracks in an instant.
Madara Uchiha poured in more Chakra. It surged through him and spilled out uncontrollably.
"Hashirama!"
Madara Uchiha shouted, his face contorted.
Hashirama Senju understood
