"Ah!"
Uchiha chakra erupted throughout Madara's entire body—he had truly never suffered such humiliation before.
With his furious roar, an immense repulsive force exploded outward in an instant!
"Oh?"
Even Kitagawa Gen was momentarily surprised by that force—he seemed to recall that Uchiha Madara rarely used techniques like Shinra Tensei.
But thinking carefully, it made sense. The Rinnegan had always belonged to Uchiha Madara; whether he used it or not was entirely his own choice.
'Still, this body's coordination isn't bad. Seems the Rinnegan's power can be used without issue.'
As he mused, that repulsive force continued to surge, and Madara's chakra grew even more intense.
[Rumble—]
In an instant, a tremendous storm swept across the surroundings. The violent energy immediately blasted the dazed Four-Tails away.
Underground, Black Zetsu fled even faster—this kind of power was far beyond what he could endure. Only Obito, hidden within Kamui, remained still.
With Kamui, he had nothing to fear.
"This is…"
And he saw it clearly—in the smoke-filled sky, Kitagawa Gen remained utterly untainted.
Even Madara's Shinra Tensei hadn't shaken him in the slightest. It was Madara himself who, by using Shinra Tensei, managed to break free from Kitagawa Gen's grasp.
The cost, however, was brutal—his head was gone, and even his entire upper body had vanished!
But as a Reanimation body, it didn't matter. The ashes of Edo Tensei quickly gathered, and in an instant his body was completely restored.
"What speed…"
Madara's gaze locked tightly onto Kitagawa Gen—such overwhelming speed made it hard for him to breathe.
Yet the greater that suffocating pressure, the more the battle-hungry gleam in his eyes burned.
He was a true warrior at heart; facing such a so-called "God" only made him all the more excited!
"This world was already too small…"
He murmured softly, then instantly lunged toward Kitagawa Gen once more. This time, he did not use Susanoo but quickly formed hand seals.
In that instant, he fiercely spewed out four fire dragons, which coiled forward, surging toward Kitagawa Gen.
"With just me alone, it's more than enough!"
As he charged, a black staff quietly formed in his hand—he could still barely wield the power of Yin–Yang Release.
[Buzz—]
At the moment when the flames were about to strike Kitagawa Gen, he arrived swiftly, yet did not attack at once.
When he saw Kitagawa Gen raise his hand, a layer of azure chakra spreading over his body, he seized the opening.
"Blocking Technique Absorption Seal—now's the time!"
The Fire Release was merely meant to draw attention. He had heard reports of "Ōtsutsuki Genshiki," so naturally he had thought of how to respond!
However—
"Yin–Yang Release, is it?"
Ōtsutsuki Genshiki lifted his head with interest, and in that instant the golden sword in his hand swept forth.
"Unfortunately, you're nothing more than a dead man."
[Clang—]
With a sharp metallic ring, the golden blade swept across the black staff, shattering it in an instant!
"What?!"
Uchiha Madara was utterly shocked. A creation of Yin–Yang Release was no ordinary thing.
Even if he was not at his full power now, it shouldn't have been destroyed so easily!
[Boom—]
While he was still frozen in disbelief, Kitagawa Gen struck his abdomen with his left fist.
With a thunderous impact, Uchiha Madara's body was sent flying, plowing a long trench through the ground!
"Damn it—what kind of power is this?!"
Though he felt no pain, his mind was in a daze.
He could not comprehend how a creation of Yin–Yang Release had shattered instantly—nor how he had been unable to withstand even a single blow!
"Even if I haven't been resurrected, even if I'm not at my peak, I shouldn't be this weak…"
Madara couldn't make sense of it. He glanced at the half of his body smashed apart by that single punch, then raised his head toward the sky.
That solitary, proud figure still hovered there. Yet those star-like eyes did not even look at him—they were directed toward the Four-Tails instead.
A surge of anger instantly welled up in Madara's heart. When had he ever been ignored like this?
"Even if this is all I can do—"
He murmured in a low voice, and the power of the Rinnegan suddenly erupted. In the next instant, a black sphere quietly shot out from his hand.
"I won't admit defeat so easily either! Chibaku Tensei!"
[Crash—]
Under his power's pull, countless fragments of stone instantly soared into the air.
And since this was the Land of Earth—a country filled with continuous mountain ranges—using Chibaku Tensei here was far more effective than anywhere else!
Countless boulders and even entire mountains rose skyward under the pull of gravity, swiftly converging upon Kitagawa Gen in midair.
Not only Kitagawa Gen, but even the Four-Tails on the ground was drawn into it!
In midair, a massive sphere had already taken shape.
"Ah!"
Yet Uchiha Madara did not stop there. He discovered that half of his body could no longer regenerate.
This made him realize that it was probably due to Yin–Yang Release, but he couldn't be bothered to care.
[Buzz—]
In the next instant, azure chakra surged once more around his body, and the colossal figure of Susanoo reappeared, blotting out the sky.
However, Susanoo did not attack—instead, it began forming hand seals on Madara's behalf.
Amid thunderous rumbling, a suffocating aura spread across the entire Land of Earth!
"Has he gone mad?"
Hidden underground, Black Zetsu stared in disbelief. All he wanted now was to run farther away, while Obito clenched his fists tightly.
"The power of the Rinnegan… it's actually this terrifying."
Obito had always wanted to obtain the Rinnegan himself, but never had the chance.
Especially seeing Nagato, who, despite wielding the Rinnegan, had been beaten again and again—it had left him somewhat doubtful of those eyes.
But Madara's display now shattered his assumptions. Even so, within his consciousness, Isshiki merely shook his head with disdain.
"Lowly creatures are still lowly creatures. Such flashy tricks—how laughable."
Far away.
Jiraiya, Ōnoki, and the others rushing in this direction widened their eyes.
"That move—has Nagato come?"
Jiraiya murmured in disbelief, while Ōnoki turned his gaze toward the colossal Susanoo.
"How terrifying… but that Susanoo seems…"
"Somehow familiar, huh?"
Deidara's face showed doubt, and Sasuke spoke calmly.
"That's Uchiha Madara's Susanoo. I didn't expect him to still be here."
"They're fighting each other?"
Naruto's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but speak.
"Then should we—"
"The Four-Tails is there too, and it's not doing well right now."
Kitagawa Gen's Divine Tree clone merely shook his head and spoke calmly.
"Also, you all should keep your distance later. It's best not to get close to this battle."
"What do you mean?"
At Kitagawa Gen's words, everyone except Jiraiya looked at him in astonishment.
But he did not answer—he simply pointed toward the sky.
Everyone followed his gaze upward, and in that instant, cold sweat streamed down their faces.
Above that massive sphere, two even larger meteors were rapidly descending!
The two meteors were overlapping—once they collided with the sphere in midair and then struck the ground—
"Damn it, that's Ōtsutsuki Genshiki's power…"
Ōnoki could no longer keep his composure; even his voice trembled.
"Is he trying to destroy the Land of Earth?!"
"Probably not."
Kitagawa Gen's Divine Tree clone shot him a faint, reprimanding glare before speaking in a low voice.
"And look there."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dazzling golden radiance suddenly burst forth from within the sphere!
That golden light was so brilliant it seemed to illuminate the entire night sky, blinding everyone in an instant.
Not only them—even the people far away in Iwagakure could not open their eyes for a moment.
"That's… a sword?"
Ōnoki spoke in disbelief. The golden gleam swept across the heavens, shattering not only the enormous sphere—
But also cutting through the two falling meteors in the sky with a single swing of the kilometer-long golden sword!
The Chibaku Tensei sphere was instantly cleaved in half, and the two meteors in the sky were likewise smashed to pieces at the same time.
[Boom—]
[Boom—]
[Boom—]
The two halves split by the golden sword, along with the fragments of the meteors, all rained down toward the ground.
Amid the deafening thunder, the earth quaked violently as though struck by an earthquake!
"How… could this be?"
Uchiha Madara ignored the massive stones crashing down around him, only staring blankly as that golden sword once again swept through his body.
His Susanoo shattered inch by inch beneath the sword's assault, and his body, too, rapidly began to disintegrate.
Yet he did not move. He only stared blankly at that solitary, proud figure in the sky.
But alas, the one above never spared him another glance—as if crushing an insect beneath his hand.
His gaze remained calm, fixed upon the distance—where a lone silhouette was slowly walking toward them.
"That's…"
"Kitagawa Gen?!"
