"Sage Mode, activate!"
Tetsuya activated Sage Mode. Golden markings appeared on his face, and a layer of golden light enveloped his body.
"There's something I've wanted to do for a long time!"
Just thinking about what he was about to do made Tetsuya burst into excited laughter.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"
An astonishing surge of senjutsu chakra erupted, making the entire space Izuna had partitioned off tremble.

"Next up, Majestic Attire: Susanoo!"
The golden Susanoo protecting Tetsuya dispersed and attached itself to the Wood Buddha.
In an instant, the enormous Wood Buddha shone with dazzling golden light, as though a true Buddha had descended into the world.
Izuna and Tobirama stared at the sight, utterly dumbstruck.
What could they even say? Surely this was an actual Buddha descending to earth.
They had never thought there was anything particularly special about Tetsuya's golden Susanoo before. Sometimes, because of his obsession with money, its gold color had even seemed downright tacky.
But now that the golden Susanoo covered that enormous Wood Buddha, it was as though it had come alive. That Wood Buddha had come alive!
Madara Uchiha gazed at the great Buddha before him, his eyes blazing.
"Splendid! This is truly magnificent. Even Hashirama never made me feel danger this keenly. Chiba Tetsuya, you truly are the most unique existence in this world.
"But I am Madara Uchiha! I will never concede defeat to anyone or anything!"
Laughing, he unleashed an attack with all his strength.
"Majestic Attire: Susanoo!"
He had no Nine-Tails, so he would clad his wooden human in Susanoo
