Madara braced his wrist with his left hand, and the condensed Sage Art: Tailed Beast Bomb in his Asura Path hand cannon blasted straight at Sasuke!!!
Sensing danger, Sasuke pulled back at once!
Madara shouted, "Hahaha!! Mu Da Da! Useless! Its blast radius is impossible to escape without space-time abilities, no matter how fast your Body Flicker Technique is!!!"
Whoosh...!
Just before the Tailed Beast Bomb engulfed Sasuke, Madara caught a glimpse of purple through the gap!
"Susanoo, huh? Useless. It isn't a Complete Body, after all..."
Rumble...!
Golden waves of fire rose into the heavens from the ruins of the Valley of the End, and the shock waves took a long time to subside!
Madara hovered in the sky outside the Valley of the End, his gaze remaining unsettled just as long.
"Sasuke, you shouldn't have made an enemy of me..."
Whoosh!
After the storm subsided, the ground of the Valley of the End had completely collapsed into a deep ravine!
And within that ravine... lay a sight that left even Madara awestruck!!
Sasuke stood unharmed in the same spot. Though Susanoo's purple aura had lost its shape, it still burned stubbornly around him!
He had actually blocked the Sage Art: Nine-Tails Tailed Beast Bomb Madara had fired through the Asura Path with nothing more than Susanoo's half-body form!
After confirming that his eyes weren't deceiving him, Madara's pupils trembled. "About a month ago, on the Wasteland of Konoha not far from here, I already saw how unusually strong his Susanoo was. But by my reckoning, even that strength should never have been enough to block this attack!!
"And yet he did!"
"Then there's only one possibility. In less than a month, his Susanoo's defense has risen another level! It isn't quite a Complete Body, but it's close!! Haha,
