Hinata watched Shinsei's battle against Madara Uchiha with rapt attention.
A black shadow silently approached Hinata from behind, extending a black arm to grab at her heart. Just then, Hinata suddenly turned around and swung her hand at the black shadow in front of her.
A surge of Chakra erupted from her slender palm, striking Black Zetsu's body. The immense force sent it and the surrounding earth flying.
Hinata's eyes bulged with veins, and her azure eyes clearly saw the black shadow in front of her.
This black shadow had no facial features, or rather, its features were merely simulated using the form of Chakra, and it did not possess any human body tissue; it was like a jet-black Chakra.
Hinata had heard of this black shadow many times before, and had even seen it once in this world.
It is Otsutsuki Kaguya's will, or perhaps it can be considered her third son— Black Zetsu!
Black Zetsu hurriedly burrowed into the mud, and Shinsei's figure suddenly appeared beside Hinata, stomping his foot hard.
The surrounding earth was torn open by a powerful force, and then a purple-white longsword slashed rapidly toward Black Zetsu.
With Issen light, Black Zetsu's arm was severed by the Instant Blade.
The black arm landed on the ground and continued to burrow into the soil, but by then Shinsei had already reached the black arm's side.
A dense array of Sealing Jutsu spread from Shinsei's hands, enveloping the black arm.
The black Chakra continued to struggle, but as the sealing runes tightened, Black Zetsu's arm was compressed into a black sphere.
Shinsei smiled slightly; Black Zetsu's true form had already vanished without a trace.
With this black sphere, the effort wasn't in vain; it's a part of Black Zetsu's body and has considerable research value.
Hinata walked over, looked at the black sphere in Shinsei's hand, and then glanced at Shinsei's injuries. Shinsei pulled away Black Zetsu's arm, and in response to Hinata's concerned gaze, indicated that he was alright.
Since they came to find Madara Uchiha, how could they not be wary of Black Zetsu?
Having acquired knowledge of Yin-Yang Release, he also knew how to deal with Black Zetsu, this unusual life form.
By using Hinata as bait to attract its attention, Black Zetsu couldn't resist and tried to grab Hinata to blackmail Shinsei.
Shinsei hadn't expected Black Zetsu to fall for his trick so easily. Perhaps it was because he had disrupted Black Zetsu's entire plan, forcing it to take a risk; or perhaps Black Zetsu, relying on its special body, had never suffered a major loss and never expected to be defeated by Shinsei, a young man.
Having dealt with the Black Zetsu situation, Shinsei returned to the battlefield with a single hand Hand Seals.
Madara Uchiha also noticed Shinsei's sudden disappearance, went to the little girl's side, and severed the arm that held his will.
At this point, Madara Uchiha no longer cared whether Black Zetsu was his own will; he only wanted to end his life in a satisfying battle.
"Hey kid, all done? If you're done, let's get back to fighting. It's been a long time since I've had such a fun battle."
" Madara-senpai, I'm sorry, it's nothing. Let's continue."
Shinsei, with his Three Heads and Six Arms, continued to charge into the midst of the numerous Susanoo, his six arms wielding both arms to clash with the Susanoo swords that were constantly slashing at him from all sides.
The continuous, deafening crashes echoed across the entire battlefield. Even with the added strength of Shinsei, the constant collisions with Susanoo caused his arms to begin to ache.
Faced with such a Susanoo, anyone else in the Shinobi World would have been hacked to pieces long ago if it weren't for him.
Only Shinsei was able to move freely among the numerous Susanoo thanks to his speed.
With his nerves constantly on edge, Shinsei didn't have time to think about unnecessary moves; he could only rely on his basic combat awareness to connect the dots from his daily training.
Some useless and fancy moves were gradually filtered out from his combat system, leaving only the simplest moves.
The intense battle was like a giant furnace, refining all the unnecessary movements in his moves, leaving only the simplest, most direct, and most convenient techniques.
This simple technique is best suited for a speed-type ninja like him.
As he simplified his techniques, Shinsei's body became more agile.
A massive Susanoo sword came slashing down, but he blocked it with the spear on his right side, and the immense force surged through his body.
Using this force Shinsei leaped backward, dodging another attack.
The two sides of the head also began to learn to cooperate with Shinsei, instead of fighting their own battles like scattered soldiers.
Gradually, Shinsei played more and more smoothly and became more relaxed.
He also felt the joy of battle that Madara Uchiha had mentioned. This bloodthirstiness, as if engraved in his genes, was now fully aroused, and he felt his blood boiling.
Madara Uchiha also saw Shinsei's current state. At this moment, Shinsei no longer resembled a ninja, but rather a warrior who enjoyed the battle.
The current Susanoo siege is no longer effective against Shinsei. He seems to have suddenly gained enlightenment, his combat experience has greatly increased, and he moves among the many Susanoo like a butterfly in flight. His large wings make him look both mysterious and composed.
Shinsei also felt his rapid progress, and it seemed that his choice to bravely face these Susanoo was indeed the right one.
Seeing that Madara Uchiha's skin was beginning to show signs of aging in the distance, he knew that Madara Uchiha was now at his last gasp.
" Madara-senpai, thank you for your sparring."
Madara Uchiha didn't speak; he simply dispersed his Chakra and stood quietly on the ground.
Shinsei extended a purple-white Chakra Instant Blade, each over twenty meters long, from both hands. The two enormous blades spun rapidly, distorting the surrounding air and emitting a piercing buzzing sound.
Now that there's no longer a need to hone one's combat skills, it's time to give Madara Uchiha some dignity.
With his hands, he wielded a massive longsword, slicing it horizontally from side to side, Susanoo in half.
As Shinsei stopped being stingy with his Chakra, the massive influx of Chakra caused his body to become much more solid, and the weapons in his hands unleashed unprecedented power.
One by one, Susanoo were defeated by Shinsei. Amidst the siege of numerous Susanoo, Shinsei fought his way out and arrived in front of Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha glanced at Shinsei, then expressionlessly surveyed his surroundings. A soft sigh escaped his lips before he closed his eyes.
Shinsei looked at Madara Uchiha before him, and in the blink of an eye, the man had aged again. Although his body was hunched, his upright posture remained sturdy.
Shinsei walked up to Madara Uchiha, looked at his flat chest, and sighed.
The legendary Madara Uchiha is dead!
