Madara smiled as he watched the Five Kage rise into the air. He activated Susanoo, leaped up, and swatted them back down like flies.
Then he used Fire Release to ignite the surrounding trees.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
The trees burst into flames the instant the fire touched them. The Five Kage had just been slammed into the ground and had inhaled plenty of pollen, leaving their bodies feeling unbearably heavy.
The burning fire also consumed the oxygen around them. Deprived of air and poisoned, the Five Kage fell unconscious, completely unable to move.
At that moment, the Tsuchikage was already watching his life flash before his eyes.
"Am I just too old now?"
He began recalling everything from his past. Everyone's will is different, but what is mine like? So this is what happens. Hitting a wall makes a person lose the will they've always held fast to.
Ōnoki forced himself to stay alert and opened his eyes.
His tenacious, unshakable will of stone awakened at that moment.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
He blasted a huge hole through the trees overhead, instantly bringing the fire under control.
The Five Kage regained consciousness as well. Ōnoki's attack punched straight through Madara's left shoulder, revealing the face of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, on his chest.
Tsunade went numb at the sight. No wonder he could use her grandfather's Wood Release.
Kabuto Yakushi's conjecture had been correct as well. Having spent so long at Orochimaru's side, he knew a thing or two.
Someone like Madara Uchiha, who had fused with Hashirama, was the closest thing to the Sage of Six Paths-and the ultimate trump card.
"You inherited that man's bloodline too, didn't you? Then why can't you use Wood Release?"
"Tch."
The arrogant Madara Uchiha certainly
