"Without your Susanoo... you're nothing more than an ordinary ninja now."
Ning Feng looked at Madara Uchiha as he gradually descended to the ground, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
As expected, the power of combining swordsmanship with Susanoo was astonishing.
Even someone like Madara, who wasn't particularly skilled in swordsmanship, could split mountains and shatter boulders after activating his Complete Body Susanoo, displaying power beyond common sense...
Then if Ning Feng combined Susanoo with true swordsmanship...
The power he could unleash would undoubtedly surpass Madara's!
Whoosh!
Before Madara could respond, Ning Feng's next attack was already upon him!
A massive slash descended, completely engulfing the figure below!
The strike carried a force akin to mountains and seas crashing down upon the tiny Madara!
The violent wind from the blade scattered Madara's hair, revealing his cold and stern face.
Even though the incoming strike was powerful enough to threaten his life, Madara showed no panic. Instead, he quickly formed hand seals.
Then, on the barren ground, countless trees suddenly erupted upward.
It was one of Hashirama Senju's techniques.
"Wood Release... Deep Forest Emergence!"
Madara shouted.
Immediately, innumerable massive trees rose from the earth, lifting Ning Feng's Susanoo upward.
At the same time, the dense forest blocked the descending slash completely!
"So you still have quite a bit of chakra left, huh?"
Ning Feng smiled slightly at the sight.
Deep Forest Emergence enhanced the power of Wood Release and created an environment favorable to Wood Release techniques.
However, Ning Feng could also use Wood Release.
That meant he could benefit from the technique's amplification as well.
"Wood Release! Wood Spikes Technique!"
Without waiting for Madara or Hashirama to attack, Ning Feng immediately unleashed one of Wood Release's more lethal techniques!
Suddenly, the surrounding trees turned on the three of them!
The thick trunks sprouted razor-sharp spikes capable of piercing straight through Madara's body at a glance!
"Hmph."
Madara's lips curled upward.
Then he leaped onto Hashirama's Wooden Golem, escaping Ning Feng's attack range.
Thanks to the powerful predictive abilities of his Sharingan, he managed to evade every incoming spike.
"Wood Release... Linear Pillars!"
Seeing a brief opening in Ning Feng's assault, Madara rapidly formed hand seals and unleashed another highly destructive Wood Release technique!
Countless wooden pillars suddenly erupted beneath Ning Feng's feet.
Some were even on the verge of piercing through his Susanoo!
"Wood Release... Linear Pillars!"
At the same time, realizing the situation, Yakushi Kabuto reluctantly had Hashirama follow Madara's lead and use the same Wood Release technique.
If this continued...
He could tell that Madara and Ning Feng would fight forever.
With the two continuously countering each other's moves, they could battle for an entire day and night without a decisive result.
"Nothing impressive."
Ning Feng smiled faintly.
Facing the fierce Wood Release assault, he remained completely calm.
He dismissed his Susanoo and jumped directly into the forest created by Deep Forest Emergence.
Linear Pillars was a large-scale technique.
Once Ning Feng dispelled his Susanoo, his smaller size actually made it much easier to dodge.
"Wood Release... Wood Spikes Technique!"
After weaving through the gaps between the rising pillars, Ning Feng slammed his palms together.
Suddenly, countless wooden spikes erupted around Madara and Hashirama, stabbing directly toward them!
Madara snorted disdainfully.
Before he even needed to move, Hashirama, under Kabuto's control, clapped his hands together.
A wooden wall instantly rose from the ground, blocking every spike!
"Fire Release... Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
After the Wood Spikes Technique subsided, Madara leaped out from behind the wooden barrier.
Forming hand seals, he unleashed his signature large-scale Fire Release technique toward the ground below.
Ning Feng's eyelid twitched slightly.
Madara wasn't targeting him.
If the attack had been directed at him, he could have simply used the Preta Path to absorb it and recover some chakra.
However...
Madara had set the entire forest ablaze!
That way, Ning Feng would no longer be able to absorb the flames once they spread.
"Madara really is a veteran of countless battles."
Ning Feng leaped into the air.
Behind him, a pair of wings suddenly appeared!
The instant those wings emerged, Madara's pupils shrank.
Those were...
The wings of Chōmei, the Seven-Tails?
Why could Ning Feng partially transform into a Tailed Beast?
Had he already become a perfect jinchūriki?
"Water Release... Water Dragon Bite Explosion!"
Ning Feng rapidly formed hand seals.
This was one of the Second Hokage's forbidden Water Release techniques!
When Tobirama had used it previously, Ning Feng had copied the chakra flow and hand seals with his Sharingan, perfectly reproducing the technique.
At the same time, his immense chakra reserves were sufficient to support such a large-scale jutsu!
Nearby bodies of water seemed to be drawn toward him.
Streams surged forward from every direction!
A massive whirlpool formed on the ground, completely smothering the burning forest.
At the same time, rising currents of water swept through the remaining flames like sharp blades!
"Tobirama's technique?"
Madara crossed his arms and watched the torrents rising into the sky with an indifferent gaze.
Above them, the outline of a gigantic water dragon was gradually taking shape!
The dragon roared as it formed, releasing overwhelming pressure toward Madara and Hashirama without restraint!
The Water Release technique Ning Feng had unleashed was actually even stronger than when Tobirama himself used it!
"As expected of an Uchiha successor..."
Looking at the gathering water dragon in the sky, Yakushi Kabuto muttered in shock.
He had controlled Tobirama before and witnessed him using this technique.
But the display back then wasn't even half as impressive as Ning Feng's current version.
Not only was the water dragon several times larger, but the sheer force of the rushing water was already enough to injure Kage-level shinobi!
If that was the case...
How powerful would the completed water dragon be?
A cold sweat appeared on Kabuto's back.
He immediately mobilized Hashirama's chakra, creating one Wooden Golem after another to shield both himself and Madara.
"No need."
Madara raised a hand to stop Hashirama from continuing.
"If he dares release the technique directly, I'll simply absorb it."
He stared at Ning Feng in the sky and chuckled softly.
"Can you?"
The corners of Ning Feng's mouth lifted.
This wasn't merely a Water Release technique.
Looking closely, vertical markings had already appeared in his eyes.
The distinctive signs of Sage Mode.
He had already entered Sage Mode!
