Might Guy immediately threw several more punches at Madara Uchiha, but Madara dodged them all with ease. Guy promptly unleashed his ultimate technique-Daytime Tiger-and countless currents of force began surging.
Madara Uchiha once again held the Sage's Staff in front of himself. Daytime Tiger collided with it, unleashing a powerful blast of force.
