This was Chinatsu 's first time fully manifesting the Complete Body Susanoo, and she could clearly feel the difference in experience between herself and Madara Uchiha.
After all, Madara had awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan decades earlier and had fought countless life-and-death battles during the Warring States Period before later awakening the Rinnegan.
His mastery over Susanoo had long since reached perfection.
Seeing Madara's Susanoo skillfully wielding a chakra katana in each hand while her own Susanoo stood empty-handed, the gap between them became immediately obvious.
"Is it because this is my first time using the Complete Body Susanoo…"
"…or because my chakra isn't enough?"
If chakra was the problem…
Then…
Chinatsu suddenly formed a hand seal.
"Summoning Technique!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several clouds of white smoke exploded around her.
A number of small slugs from Shikkotsu Forest appeared beside Chinatsu .
Although her chakra reserves were already enormous by ordinary shinobi standards, they still couldn't compare with the virtually limitless chakra supplied to an Edo Tensei.
Since Madara possessed an unlimited battery…
Why shouldn't she prepare one herself?
She smiled at the little slugs.
"Slug-sama."
"I'm counting on all of you."
One tiny slug immediately bounced onto Chinatsu 's shoulder.
"Leave it to us."
The remaining slugs attached themselves to the interior of the Complete Body Susanoo and began continuously transferring their chakra to Chinatsu through Katsuyu's unique chakra-sharing ability.
Streams of chakra continuously flowed into Chinatsu 's body.
Here it comes.
Here it comes.
Here it comes!
The sensation was so overwhelming that Chinatsu almost felt as though she were transforming into a Super Saiyan.
Her long black hair floated upward under the surge of chakra.
The air around her trembled continuously.
Madara narrowed his eyes.
"So…"
"You've even signed a contract with Katsuyu."
Among the Three Great Sage Regions, Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Mode was no easier to master than that of Mount Myōboku or Ryūchi Cave.
Very few shinobi had ever achieved it.
However…
Madara calmly reached toward his chest beneath his armor.
There…
Embedded within his body, was Hashirama Senju's flesh.
Through Hashirama's implanted cells, Madara had not only awakened Wood Release but could also draw upon Hashirama's Senjutsu chakra after entering Sage Mode.
Although the chakra provided by Sage Mode meant little to an Edo Tensei body with effectively endless reserves…
Its enhancement of physical attacks and ninjutsu remained undeniable.
Meanwhile…
The enormous influx of chakra caused another change in Chinatsu 's Susanoo.
Boom!
Two gigantic chakra katana gradually materialized within the crimson warrior's hands.
Finally…
Her Complete Body Susanoo possessed its own weapons.
Looking at the twin swords, Chinatsu couldn't help sighing.
"What a pity…"
"Not everyone is as lucky as Itachi."
"He awakened the Yata Mirror and the Totsuka Blade, two legendary spirit weapons."
"Even Madara only fights with ordinary chakra swords."
She glanced at her own twin blades and shrugged.
"Forget it."
"Even kitchen knives can kill people."
"As the saying goes…"
"No matter how skilled someone is…"
"They're still afraid of a kitchen knife."
With that…
The crimson Susanoo suddenly accelerated.
Boom!!
Holding a chakra katana in each hand, Chinatsu charged directly toward Madara once again.
Madara showed no intention of retreating.
His blue Susanoo also wielded twin blades as it advanced to meet her.
Clang!!
The enormous chakra swords collided.
The shockwave shattered the earth beneath their feet.
One exchange.
Two exchanges.
Ten exchanges.
Although Chinatsu had finally obtained weapons of her own, Madara's combat experience still allowed him to suppress her during every clash.
His swordsmanship was cleaner.
His timing was sharper.
His attacks were almost impossible to predict.
Fortunately…
Chinatsu had one advantage Madara couldn't exploit.
Her "power bank."
With Katsuyu continuously supplying chakra from behind, Chinatsu no longer needed to worry about exhausting herself in a prolonged battle.
As long as she avoided fatal mistakes…
She could continue fighting indefinitely.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
The two gigantic Susanoo continued exchanging blows across the empty plains outside Konoha.
Mountains cracked.
Forests disappeared.
The ground split open again and again beneath the overwhelming force of every collision.
Calling the battlefield "devastated" hardly did it justice.
It looked as though an entire natural disaster had descended upon the Land of Fire.
Even so…
Madara still maintained the advantage.
An Edo Tensei body with limitless chakra and automatic regeneration simply possessed too great an advantage.
Moreover…
Chinatsu hadn't mastered any powerful sealing techniques capable of permanently neutralizing an Edo Tensei.
From the very beginning…
She had never expected to truly defeat Madara.
Her objective…
Had always been much simpler.
As long as she could thoroughly annoy the legendary Uchiha…
That alone would count as a complete victory.
Thinking of that…
A mischievous smile slowly spread across Chinatsu 's face.
Madara immediately noticed it.
"…"
His instincts suddenly told him…
Whatever this girl was planning next…
It definitely wasn't going to be anything good.
Indeed, it was the power of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Even separated by such a great distance, with two Complete Body Susanoo standing between them, Madara could still clearly perceive the subtle changes in Chinatsu 's chakra through his ocular prowess.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Hehe… Ancestor, I've prepared a little gift for you."
"A gift?"
Madara Uchiha remained completely unconcerned.
As someone who had fought Hashirama Senju countless times and stood at the peak of the Warring States Era, there were very few techniques in the shinobi world capable of making him wary.
"Ancestor~"
"I'm not as talented as you. After spending so much time researching, I've only managed to create a single original ninjutsu."
"Would you like to see my little 'gift'?"
Chinatsu narrowed her eyes into crescents as she smiled.
Madara merely folded his arms across his chest.
His confidence bordered on arrogance.
Even after becoming an Edo Tensei, he had never once doubted his own strength.
Naturally…
He would never refuse such an invitation.
"Very well."
"Show me."
"I'd like to see what kind of ninjutsu a junior of the Uchiha clan has created."
Chinatsu nodded with satisfaction.
"Don't worry."
"A gift should always leave a deep impression."
"Otherwise…"
"It wouldn't deserve to be called a gift."
As she spoke, Chinatsu slowly raised one hand.
Her Complete Body Susanoo mirrored the movement perfectly, lifting its enormous palm toward the sky.
She gently called out,
"Slug-sama."
"Are you ready?"
The tiny slug on her shoulder immediately nodded.
"We don't know exactly what you're intend to do…"
"But…"
"We'll entrust every bit of the Sage Chakra we've accumulated to you."
The next instant—
An enormous amount of Senjutsu chakra surged into Chinatsu 's body.
Wave after wave.
Without stopping.
The scene strangely resembled Naruto during the Fourth Great Ninja War, when Kurama continuously gathered natural energy and supplied it to him for Sage Mode.
The terrifying chakra fluctuations caused even the surrounding atmosphere to tremble violently.
Chinatsu slowly exhaled.
"It still isn't enough…"
"But…"
"It's close."
Fortunately…
She had deliberately dragged Madara far away from Konohagakure before beginning her preparations.
Otherwise…
The aftermath alone would have turned the village into ruins.
The last time she had used this self-created technique…
It had been against Orochimaru.
Although she had claimed it was to prevent Orochimaru from escaping…
The truth was somewhat different.
She mainly wanted to teach Orochimaru a lesson for constantly coveting Sasuke's body.
Therefore…
She had hastily completed the technique and immediately tested it on him.
The results had exceeded her expectations.
A large section of the Forest of Death had been completely destroyed.
Even now, that area remained sealed off by Konoha, with the surrounding environment so devastated that it would likely remain uninhabitable for decades.
This time…
It would be far more terrifying.
Unlike before…
She had spent considerable time deliberately gathering and compressing chakra.
The attack had reached a completely different level.
Less than five seconds later…
Madara's relaxed expression completely disappeared.
His battle instincts, honed through countless life-and-death struggles, screamed at him.
Danger.
Extreme danger.
Without hesitation, Madara controlled his Complete Body Susanoo and charged directly toward Chinatsu .
"What exactly are you trying to do?"
"I may possess an immortal Edo Tensei body…"
"But you don't!"
"If that technique explodes…"
"You'll be caught in the blast as well!"
Madara's voice echoed across the battlefield.
His enormous Susanoo crossed the shattered earth at astonishing speed.
However…
Facing the rapidly approaching blue warrior…
Chinatsu merely smiled.
She offered no explanation whatsoever.
She naturally understood what Madara meant.
The destructive radius of this technique was so enormous that even the speed of the Complete Body Susanoo wouldn't allow anyone inside its effective range to escape in time.
Ordinary shinobi…
Would undoubtedly perish together with their enemy.
Unfortunately…
Chinatsu possessed something Madara hated more than any other space-time ninjutsu.
The technique created by the Second Hokage himself.
She looked directly at Madara.
"Sage Art…"
"World Nuclear Peace Technique!"
The compressed sphere of chakra in her hand was hurled directly toward Madara.
The instant it left her fingertips…
Chinatsu formed another hand seal without the slightest hesitation.
The technique Madara hated most…
The technique that had repeatedly frustrated him during the Warring States Period…
"Flying Thunder God Technique!"
Whoosh!
Chinatsu 's figure disappeared instantly from inside the crimson Susanoo.
The next moment…
A blinding white light swallowed everything.
BOOM!!!!!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and the earth.
An enormous mushroom cloud slowly rose above the battlefield, its terrifying shockwave sweeping across the Land of Fire.
