Madara Uchiha was far too vigilant, and his ability to predict attacks was formidable. Even when Namikaze Minato got close, it was difficult to land a hit. The only trace left by one attack was a handful of hair.
He was not injured, but Namikaze Minato had shaved off quite a bit of his hair. Madara Uchiha's icy expression instantly darkened, fury filling his heart.
"Since you seek death, I'll send you to it!!!"
Madara Uchiha was enraged. No longer hesitating, he roared as blue light rose around him, and the Complete Body Susanoo soared into the sky.
A great battle was on the verge of erupting, yet Hikaru was completely unaware of it. He was practically cut off from everything outside, trapped in a living hell. Unbearable pain washed over his nerves and mind in wave after wave like a tide. Worse still, his entire body was engulfed in searing heat, as though he were being continuously burned inside a massive furnace.
This was undoubtedly making things worse for Hikaru. The pain alone was already nearly beyond his endurance, and the burning sensation forced him to suffer even greater agony every moment.
"Ah!!!!"
Hikaru had no awareness of the outside world, but the commotion he created was enormous—truly enormous. The Ten-Tails was sealed within the Four Red Yang Formation, yet Hikaru had become the one wreaking havoc.

Powerful shockwaves swirled around Hikaru's body rather than spreading in all directions, but the destruction this caused was even greater. Everything within several hundred meters of Hikaru was engulfed and shattered.
The Nine-Tails fled in fright, not daring to remain beside Hikaru. All it could do
