The explosive airflow swept through the entire outer perimeter of Sunagakure. Shiraishi lunged out forcefully, stirring up a terrifying torrent of death around him.
Minato Namikaze and Senju Tobirama knew deeply how terrifying the opponent before them was, and they were currently trapped deep within enemy territory.
Just as the two were bracing themselves with utmost severity, a giant meteorite suddenly descended from the heavens, smashing toward Shiraishi in an extremely fierce posture.
A meteorite?
Uchiha Madara, having awakened the Rinnegan, walked slowly toward Shiraishi with an exceptionally solemn posture.
"I didn't expect you to directly use Chibaku Tensei right from the start."
One of the abilities of the Rinnegan was a ninjutsu that controlled gravitational forces to the absolute limit and caused massive destruction to the surrounding environment.
If someone who hadn't awakened the Rinnegan, or someone without the power of the Senju and Uchiha, utilized it, it would cause immense damage to the user.
Uchiha Madara was different. Combining the powers of both the Senju and Uchiha, he could deploy Chibaku Tensei at will, forming massive meteorites to attack Shiraishi, and had even created the unique Tengai Shinsei.
"Senju Tobirama is still of some use to me."
Although Uchiha Madara disliked Senju Tobirama, he had to admit that if the two individuals before him died at the hands of Sunagakure right now, Konoha would virtually collapse tomorrow without even a fight.
Previously, when the two utilized the Flying Raijin to assassinate Shiraishi, Uchiha Madara had been observing from the outer perimeter of Sunagakure.
The unexpected result was that Shiraishi could utilize a combat method that sliced apart space, completely shattering the Flying Raijin.
Obito was also trembling with fear in the shadows. Subspace Severance didn't target just the Flying Raijin; his own Kamui was also one of the things being countered.
Therefore, Uchiha Madara had to step forward. However, when he locked eyes with Shiraishi for a brief moment, memories that had been sealed away for a very long time were slowly unlocked.
"This kind of combat literacy indicates that your battlefield experience is exceptionally vast, but as far as I know, there is no such figure as you within any nation. Who are you?"
"I am merely taking away these corpses as materials for research. Why be so calculative?"
"These are spoils of war."
Back when he had invaded the Land of Roulan to wipe out the Hagoromo clan, he had encountered a mysterious successor of the Sage Mode from Ryuchi Cave, who had stolen the Spear of Amenonuhoko as well as the corpses of the Hagoromo clansmen.
Uchiha Madara's memories slowly recovered, and concurrently, he noticed the figure of Hagoromo Masato appearing within Sunagakure's main camp.
That youth—he could fundamentally not mistake him. He was precisely that Hagoromo clansman who had died on the battlefield.
So that's how it is. They utilized the power of the Ryuryaku to travel to past history?
Thinking up to this point, Uchiha Madara directly activated the second state of Susanoo, and multiple massive blue tomoe condensed around him.
Yasaka Magatama!
This move again...
The terrifying prestige produced during the process of the countless tomoe rapidly lunging forward made Shiraishi understand very clearly that Uchiha Madara had become far stronger compared to when they met in the Land of Roulan.
Sage Art: Super Cyclonic Torrent!
As the dragon crests manifested within his eyes, Shiraishi drove the Amenonuhoko in his hand, slashing twice toward the front, as if drawing a cross using the void as blank paper, launching his offensive with magnificent momentum.
It was the exact same move as back then, but this time, its power was also much stronger!
The airflow exploded. The cyclonic torrent circling high in the sky suddenly condensed and compressed into a teal crescent airflow, appearing one after the other, crisscrossing and layering to tear through the air.
The instant the tomoe were blown apart, Uchiha Madara unleashed a Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique. The giant sphere of blazing radiance illuminated everyone's vision, forming a rolling, colossal fireball that frantically lunged face-first toward the Suna crowd.
This is the Great Fireball Technique?
The exact same situation as the last battle occurred. The crescent cutting airflow created by Shiraishi sliced the giant fireball into four segments.
However, although the fireball was sliced and penetrated through, the destructive power of its flames became even more fierce, transforming into four giant fire dragons that smashed down from multiple angles above Sunagakure.
"Mr. Madara, is this move to show off that your fire control is stronger than last time?"
Last time, it was a four-ordinary-fire-dragon technique, but this time was different. The high-temperature power generated by these fire dragons was fully comparable to the full version of the Majestic Destroyer Flame from back then. S
imply put, the strength Uchiha Madara displayed was several times stronger than in the past.
The current him had already surpassed Senju Hashirama in strength!
Shiraishi did not care about these four fire dragons at all, because inside Sunagakure's main camp, Kikyo, Unohana Retsu, Uzumaki Menma, and Fire Fist Ace made their moves simultaneously.
Sacred Arrow, Instant Kill Slash, Dark Rasengan, and a pure fist of flames—the four techniques, acting from four distinct angles, abruptly broke Uchiha Madara's offensive.
"You have recruited quite a few exceptional subordinates."
Uchiha Madara remembered very clearly that Shiraishi also held an alliance relationship with Ryuchi Cave. Coupled with this group of uniquely talented individuals, he silently calculated the comparison of combat power between both sides in his heart.
However, at this moment, Shiraishi flashed with a Body Flicker, a massive energy storm stirring up around him as he directly and overbearingly attacked Uchiha Madara. Divine lightning light generated across his entire body, seemingly giving off an illusion of destroying everything.
These attacks caught Uchiha Madara somewhat off guard. But Shiraishi's offensive had not ended yet; one after another, vortex energy airflows as fast as rushing lightning erupted from his body.
This move of Shiraishi's made Uchiha Madara simply dare not be careless. He rapidly shifted his waist and took a step, the gunbai in his hand turning skillfully, either dodging or blocking, avoiding or striking, steady and orderly, forming an airtight offensive of airflow.
During the process of the brilliant radiances intersecting, the Susanoo guarding Uchiha Madara once again condensed thirty paths of tomoe energy, forming a unique vortex that was rapidly hurled outward.
Uchiha Madara spoke coldly: "Last time it was three tomoe, this time it is thirty!"
In contrast to the last time, where Shiraishi had taken the initiative to attack and Uchiha Madara countered each move, this time Uchiha Madara was actively attacking fiercely while Shiraishi responded composedly.
This was sufficient to demonstrate that the strengths of both sides had swapped places. Furthermore, that previous round of offense by Shiraishi had already generated pressure for Lord Madara.
Of course, Uchiha Madara would not admit to this matter...
Thirty tomoe were sufficient to flatten a small ninja village. Facing Uchiha Madara's offensive, Shiraishi condensed a cluster of dazzling golden light with a single hand, which abruptly transformed into thousands of light sources emerging from all directions.
The power of light!
The signature method of primordial exotic beasts traversing the alien world erupted from the center of Shiraishi's palm, forming a dense web of light that directly shattered Uchiha Madara's thirty tomoe while simultaneously piercing the Susanoo below into a hornet's nest!
While Uchiha Madara and Shiraishi were exchanging blows, Senju Tobirama and Minato Namikaze chose to flee the scene. Although the Flying Raijin was disrupted, they were highly mobile ninja by nature, and their fleeing speed was extremely fast.
The Susanoo was destroyed, and even Uchiha Madara's body had several holes blasted into it. Covered in a battered state, Uchiha Madara's face progressively darkened.
He had never expected that he would be suppressed by a junior...
Although he had been quite excited to have an extra opponent when Shiraishi inherited the position of Kazekage, that mindset was entirely different from the present.
This absolute brat!
Uchiha Madara's mood became exceptionally terrible.
