Chapter 225: Susanoo Clad Buddha? It Won't Help
"Rinnegan??!" Hashirama stared wide-eyed, examining Madara's eyes in disbelief. "Madara!! When did you get the Rinnegan?! Why didn't you tell me??!"
He naturally knew of the Rinnegan. These were the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths, extremely powerful. Judging by the aura, they were indeed stronger than the Eternal Mangekyo!
"Hmph!!" Madara's tone was cold, but he couldn't suppress his pride. "Hashirama, possessing the Rinnegan, my power has long surpassed yours." He touched his chest. "And for this, I have to thank you for your help."
"My help???" Hashirama was completely confused, not understanding what this guy was talking about.
Madara didn't clarify, simply staring at the nine meteors plummeting rapidly from the night sky. "This technique from the heavens... how will you block it?"
"Tengai Shinsei, is it..." Alex looked up, the nine growing meteors reflecting in his pupils. He praised, "The momentum and power are indeed formidable, but... it's nothing special!"
From the brilliant river of swords, nine light swords as large as mountains suddenly split off.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! They shot directly into the high sky. Arriving in an instant, they simultaneously pierced the nine meteors. Unmatched power utterly shattered the meteors, turning them into countless stones of varying sizes that rained down.
"Tengai Shinsei..." Madara was shaken, his gaze solemn. "To think it was broken so easily..." And in such a domineering, head-on manner. Judging by the relaxed demeanor, it seemed as effortless as extinguishing a Great Fireball.
Just how strong was the opponent...
The river of swords continued to violently impact the True Several Thousand Hands, the roar resonating through the high sky. Countless wood chips fell from above; the battle situation was simply one-sided.
Hashirama gritted his back teeth, his expression grim. Even with his chakra, it was difficult to support the rapid regeneration of the destroyed Buddha hands. This was the first time he found his chakra insufficient, the replenishment too slow. His chakra was greater than the Nine-Tails. In any battle during his life, he had never experienced a chakra shortage. Even in battles against Madara Uchiha...
He hadn't expected to be stretched so thin just as the battle began. The opponent's river of swords was too sharp, the destructive power too great. Every regeneration of the destroyed hands was no less draining than releasing half a Summit Enlightenment. The burden and consumption were extremely heavy.
This couldn't go on!!
"Madara!!" Hashirama shouted urgently, "Use your Complete Body Susanoo!!"
The toughness and defensive power of the Buddha hands couldn't compare to those incredibly sharp light swords. They had to use some method to improve it to block them. Complete Body Susanoo was the best way.
"Hashirama!" Madara laughed loudly. "Is your Big Buddha going to act as my Nine-Tails this time?!"
"Madara!! Cut the crap, I can't hold on much longer!!"
"Hmph! Then..." Madara switched to his Eternal Mangekyo in a flash. "As you wish!!"
Red light exploded from his eyes. The Complete Body Susanoo was unleashed instantly. However, it didn't condense around himself. Instead, in a unique way, it enveloped the entire Thousand-Hand Buddha. forming a blue protective layer over its surface. Even every Buddha hand was covered.
Just like when he controlled the Nine-Tails and combined it with the Complete Body Susanoo to form the Majestic Attire: Susanoo. Perhaps calling it Majestic Attire: Buddha was more appropriate now.
"Hahaha!!" Madara laughed excitedly, black hair dancing wildly like a madman. "Hashirama, do you feel my power?! I am wrapping tightly around you!!"
"I feel it!" Hashirama was also excited. "With the protection of your Complete Body Susanoo wrapping it, the strength and power of the Wood Release have increased significantly. Madara, we are truly fighting side by side!"
The combined efforts of the two finally allowed the blue-glowing Buddha hands to withstand the impact of the sword river. But they were still teetering. It just wasn't as one-sided as the beginning.
Dense cracks soon appeared on the blue protective layer on the Buddha hands; it was about to shatter completely.
"Susanoo clad Buddha, destroying four countries..." Alex assessed the giant blue-glowing statue opposite him. Seeing this scene, and having fought Madara and Hashirama, his desire was fulfilled.
"Next..." The brilliant river of swords suddenly dissipated. "It's time to end this battle..."
Alex, along with the pure white giant below, simultaneously erupted with terrifying chakra fluctuations. The aura was astonishing, even horrific.
What is she doing??! Why stop the attack suddenly??!
Madara and Hashirama felt deep suspicion rise simultaneously. However... with the sword river gone, they wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass. Since there was an opening, they would continue the attack. Whatever the opponent planned to do next, they just had to stop or interrupt it.
"Madara!!"
"Hashirama!!"
Madara understood Hashirama's meaning, and the red light in his eyes shone brightly again. The power of the Eternal Mangekyo poured out. The blue barrier that had been beaten into a precarious state instantly repaired itself, covering every inch of the Big Buddha completely once more. Providing protection and a power boost.
Hashirama's exploding aura made his hair dance wildly. He had a premonition that this was his final attack. He had to give it everything. For the peace of the ninja world, for the survival of Konoha, he absolutely could not lose!!
"Hah!!" Hashirama roared, slamming his hands together. "Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands: Complete Body Susanoo: Summit Enlightenment!!"
The Great Buddha moved. Countless giant Buddha hands wrapped in blue light bombarded toward Alex. It was terrifying, blotting out half the sky. Dense and inescapable.
"Heh..." Alex chuckled lightly. "Let me use one final move to give you two a magnificent send-off!"
The pure white giant brought its hands together, then instantly separated them. A massive white cube appeared between its palms. Hazy and white, it emitted extremely terrifying chakra fluctuations.
As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted the gazes of Madara and Hashirama.
"Madara, that is... that can't be..."
"Hashirama, you're thinking correctly... it is exactly what you think."
A bad premonition rose in both their hearts simultaneously. Before they could react, the jutsu Alex prepared was triggered.
"Sage Art: Dust Release: Super Detachment of the Primitive World!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, the pure white giant pushed its hands forward. The already shockingly large white cube between its palms expanded abruptly. Its volume became even more astounding.
With sides exceeding a thousand meters, connecting heaven and earth, it enveloped Hashirama, Madara, and the entire Great Buddha within it.
In the horrified, stunned gazes of all the ninja below...
Inside the giant white cube that illuminated the entire night sky... Hashirama, Madara, and the Great Buddha that possessed the power of a god were instantly annihilated.
Decomposed into an atomic state...
The battle was over...
