Facing the oncoming assault of Madara, Susanoo-clad Kurama also manifested two black longswords in its hands, charging forward to meet the attack.
Clang!
Clang!
The four swords collided with tremendous force, as two mountain-like Susanoo clashed fiercely on the soil of the Land of Rain. The shockwaves generated from their swings swept across the land like a tsunami, causing mountains to tremble and the earth to form deep ravines.
The aftermath from their collisions spread endlessly, with the shockwaves still palpable even hundreds of meters away.
Fortunately, thanks to the earlier threat of Nagato's Planetary Devastation, the citizens of the Land of Rain had fled for their lives. Combined with Konan's paper crane guidance, countless lives were spared.
However, after this battle, the Land of Rain would need a complete.
The city that the Akatsuki had built over decades would be reduced to ruins after this single battle.
However, Madara, unable to use his full strength, was already at a complete disadvantage against Susanoo-clad Kurama, which towered dozens of meters above his own. After just a few exchanges, Madara was forced into a defensive stance.
His Susanoo showed multiple damages, constantly repairing itself.
"Hahaha, Uchiha Madara, when did your sword become so weak? Today, I'll show you what the strongest Tailed Beast truly is!"
While attacking, Kurama also unleashed a barrage of arrogant mocking words.
The humiliation of being controlled by Madara had marked the beginning of its sealed life. Now, it finally had the chance to strike back and vent its anger.
It certainly wasn't going to miss such a perfect opportunity to mock him.
'Damn it.'
Madara couldn't help but curse in his heart. He was very frustrated at this moment. If only he could use his full strength, he wouldn't be so powerless, allowing a mere Nine-Tails to lord over him.
As their swords clashed once more, another area was flattened.
Madara quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction!"
A massive fireball, resembling a meteor, shot from the Susanoo's mouth, flying straight toward Naruto's Susanoo.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
Naruto's Susanoo-clad Kurama also opened its enormous mouth, gathering an invisible force within.
While Naruto could have absorbed the fireball with his Rinnegan, it was far more satisfying to crush it head-on!
Both Naruto, with the Nine-Tails' Chakra, and Madara, with his Edo Tensei body, had no shortage of Chakra.
In an instant, a violent gust of wind erupted from Susanoo-clad Kurama's mouth, like a ferocious dragon, roaring as it shot toward Madara's fireball.
Madara's fireball was scattered by the wind before it could even reach Naruto, and even his mountain-like Susanoo was blown back several steps.
The scattered flames turned the area into a sea of fire.
What seemed like basic Ninjutsu, when used by these two, carried power of destroying the world.
This kind of battle left even Nagato and Konan, who are watching from afar, utterly stunned.
Konan, in particular, was beyond words. The sight of these hundred-meter-tall giants battling completely shattered her understanding of what a shinobi could be.
'Is this still considered a Ninja?'
Nagato, on the other hand, felt his very heart crumbling.
While he could destroy areas with his Super Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei, the scale of this battle was something he had never even imagined.
This was a battle on an entirely different level.
The 'version update' had come too fast, and he hadn't kept up.
'Since I also had the Rinnegan, could I summon a giant like those?'
Meanwhile, Hashirama Senju, watching from above, was equally shocked. He hadn't expected Madara to be so thoroughly suppressed by a young man, especially one who didn't even seem to be trying.
After absorbing enough Natural Energy, Hashirama's body moved on its own, his hands clapping together.
"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"
The rock sphere rumbled once more, immediately drawing the attention of everyone present.
A wooden humanoid, similar in size to Madara's Susanoo, rose from the ground, with a wooden dragon wrapped around the wooden man.
"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"
Hashirama shouted again, and the forest he had created earlier began to surge.
Countless vines grew and entangled Naruto below.
At the same time, the massive wooden humanoid left the rock sphere, its fist swinging directly at Naruto.
As Hashirama detached from the huge rock ball, the gravitational core within began to collapse, and countless pieces of gravel began to fall like rain.
Facing the vines that descended like a galaxy tilting and Hashirama's fist carrying countless rubbles, Naruto remained completely calm.
He swung his swords again, blocking Madara's attacks, while the nine tails behind him danced like blades, shredding the incoming rubbles and deflecting Hashirama's wooden fist.
Now, three giants were locked in combat. Naruto used two swords against two swords, and used his tails to hit fists.
Madara occasionally launched Fire Release Ninjutsu, but Naruto countered with Wind Release Ninjutsu.
When Hashirama tried to use the wooden dragon to entangle, Naruto's tails crushed it effortlessly.
Fighting one against two, Naruto didn't falter, all while Kurama's arrogant and presumptuous laughter echoed through the battlefield.
"Senju Hashirama! Uchiha Madara! Old grudges and new, today I'll crush you both beneath me!"
Hashirama could only sigh in helplessness, while Madara's expression grew even darker.
After a few more exchanges, Naruto realized that this battle wasn't challenging enough.
He decided to turn up the intensity.
Instantly, a black, oppressive Tailed Beast Ball condensed in the mouth of Susanoo-clad Kurama.
Roar!
The massive black Tailed Beast Ball shot straight toward Hashirama, who stood atop the wooden humanoid, his hands still clasped together.
Seeing this, Hashirama felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had experienced this scene long ago.
Without hesitation, Hashirama let out a low roar, and the wooden dragon on the wooden humanoid opened its huge maw.
It swallowed the incoming Tailed Beast Ball.
Just as he planned to catch the Tailed Beast Ball and hurl it back at Naruto, as he had done in the past, the Tailed Beast Ball bitten by the wooden dragon actually began to swell, and countless small Tailed Beast Balls inside exploded at the same time.
Boom!
The entire city shook, and the dazzling white light blinded the onlookers instantly.
The huge explosion echoed across the space, affecting even the surrounding regions. The violent wind wave swept outward, lifting the surface like a hurricane, sending debris flying.
Hashirama himself was blown away, his wooden humanoid and body were shattered on a large scale, slowly recovering.
