Madara bent forward, driving four black tails into the ground!
Ao warned them with his Byakugan. "Kage, watch your feet!!!!!"
"!" "!" "!" "!"
Wind, fire, water, earth—the four Kage recoiled in alarm and leaped aside at once!!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four towering tails erupted from the places where they had just stood...!
"Raaaaaaargh! Letting me out was a death wish...!!!!"
The Raikage charged furiously, lightning cloaking his body!
—Lariat!!!
Crack...!!!
His decapitating arm struck squarely beneath the throat!
Anchored by his tail Pillars, Naruto-Madara stood utterly motionless... but that was not the most terrifying part. The thin, pitch-black Demon Fox Cloak had actually blocked the Raikage's full-powered Lariat!!!
The Raikage's face twisted in shock. "A mere four tails from the Nine-Tails... are stronger than B's Eight-Tails in state two!?"
Smack!!!
Madara backhanded him with a fist. The Lightning Release Armor around the Raikage's face exploded, and his massive body spiraled through the air. By the time he landed, he was completely dazed!
Boom!!!!
Madara withdrew his tails from the ground and lunged at the Raikage. Crack! Crack! Crack! Black claws emerged from his fingertips, poised to tear out the Raikage's heart and finish him off first!
Crack...!!
But just as his claws descended, an almost paralyzing pain stopped Naruto-Madara in his tracks!!
Madara said, "Ah, this brat's body can't quite withstand such an excessive surge of power..."
The Raikage rallied!!!
—Lightning Oppression Horizontal Chop!!
Crack...!!!!!
Madara was swept away...!!!!!
"Raaaaaaargh...!!!!"
The Raikage pressed his advantage, pursuing him from above. He raised his massive, axe-like leg high and brought it crashing down, wreathed in lightning...!!!
"Even if tailed beast chakra gave you incredible defenses, I don't believe your head is that tough! I'll give you a concussion at the very least!!!!!!!!!!"
—Liger Bomb!!!
Clang...!!!
At the last possible instant,
