Kitagawa Minamoto's words left both Uchiha Madara and Obito Uchiha visibly displeased.
Especially for Madara, such remarks were usually reserved for him to say to others. To think that upon his revival, he would be so blatantly underestimated by someone?
"This brat is truly infuriating."
Madara controlled his Susano'o, shaking his head lightly and sighing.
"But your courage is commendable. To spout such nonsense in the face of this situation—well then..."
Madara's gaze sharpened, and his Susano'o began to move.
The massive Susano'o drew its enormous ninja blade, its overwhelming power stirring the surrounding air into chaos. Even before the attack was unleashed, the ground beneath their feet had already begun to crumble!
"Let's see if you truly have the strength to back up your big words!"
The towering blue Chakra giant, over 200 meters tall, swung its colossal blade fiercely at Kitagawa Minamoto.
In an instant, the earth trembled, dust and debris flew everywhere, and even distant mountains were cleaved in half by the sheer force of the strike!
"What kind of power is this?"
Everyone watching from afar felt their spirits collapse.
Just one Susano'o was already god-like, instilling fear and awe in all who witnessed it. It had already forced Ōnoki and Deidara to mobilize, prompted the evacuation of the entire village, and left Iwagakure in ruins.
And now, with two Susano'o present, one even larger than the other, the terror was indescribable. The oppressive aura, the despair—it was beyond words!
"Damn it, we're doomed..."
Ōnoki's face was the grimmest of all. He no longer dared hover in the sky, instead retreating to regroup with Deidara, Kurotsuchi, Jiraiya, and the others.
Faced with such colossal beings, his heart was gripped with fear.
Madara's appearance was already suffocating, and a Madara who could use Wood Release was utterly despair-inducing. And he wasn't alone.
Two enormous Susano'o, just standing there, were enough to make anyone shiver uncontrollably.
"We should retreat even further. This kind of battle is beyond anything we can handle."
Jiraiya couldn't help but suggest, his expression complex and conflicted.
"Minamoto should be fine. Even if he can't win, he has the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape."
"Hey, are you guys underestimating him? Have you never seen him go all out?"
Before Jiraiya could finish, Deidara spoke with a peculiar expression, drawing the attention of Sasuke and Naruto.
Seeing their curious looks, Deidara's expression grew even stranger.
"Looks like you really haven't seen it. Well then, why not witness it now?"
Kitagawa Minamoto's... "All-out effort?"
The words sounded strange to them. Had they truly never seen Minamoto go all out?
But in the next moment, their eyes widened in shock!
Facing the relentless attacks of the Susano'o, Minamoto moved with incredible agility, making it nearly impossible for anyone to land a hit on him.
"This guy moves like a slippery eel."
Obito snorted coldly. He hadn't initially intended to join Madara in attacking Minamoto.
But Minamoto's attacks had already reached him, forcing him to respond. If this brat wanted to die, Obito would gladly oblige!
Yet he found that neither he nor Madara seemed able to do anything to Minamoto.
The ground continued to collapse, cracks spreading like gaping chasms, but Minamoto effortlessly avoided every attack.
"It seems you're even more elusive than I imagined, Kitagawa Minamoto!"
Obito watched as Minamoto leapt into the air, dodging yet another swing of Madara's Susano'o blade. He seized the opportunity to prepare another strike.
"I've got it now. I've figured out the speed of these two Susano'o."
Suspended in mid-air, Minamoto observed Obito's movements. This time, he had no intention of dodging.
Until now, he had been confirming certain details. But now, he had all the answers he needed.
As the incoming blade approached, Minamoto suddenly halted mid-air, then swiftly descended, perfectly evading the strike.
"Tch!"
Seeing this, Obito didn't hesitate to control his Susano'o for a follow-up strike. The roaring energy seemed to shatter space itself!
Yet, to Obito's disbelief, Minamoto's agility was utterly suffocating.
Despite the Susano'o's immense power, it appeared clumsy before Minamoto.
Minamoto landed lightly on the Susano'o's body, then quickly ascended, heading straight for its top.
"Damn ant!"
Obito cursed under his breath, immediately commanding his Susano'o to leap and swing its arm heavily.
In response, Minamoto didn't force his way upward, but instead leapt into the air, allowing himself to float momentarily.
"Hmph!"
Madara snorted coldly. He had no interest in cooperating with Obito, but he did want to see Minamoto's limits.
Such arrogance—perhaps Minamoto did bear some resemblance to Hashirama. Especially since he had heard that Minamoto's Wood Release was exceptionally strong!
Buzz—
Madara's Susano'o moved suddenly, and his control over it was far more precise than Obito's.
"Where's your Wood Release? Let me see just how strong it is!"
The Susano'o's blade swung wildly, each strike spreading destructive force across the battlefield.
The sheer violence of the attacks left Iwagakure in ruins, and the terrifying display made everyone watching shudder.
The relentless destruction reminded them of the fear their ancestors must have felt toward Hashirama Senju and Uchiha Madara. This kind of power didn't belong in the mortal realm!
"Kitagawa Minamoto, Deidara mentioned you've used Wood Release on a scale exceeding a thousand meters. Right now, you're our only hope..."
Ōnoki muttered silently to himself. But moments later, a loud clang made him, Sasuke, and Jiraiya freeze in shock.
Madara's Susano'o swung its blade again, but Minamoto suddenly countered with his black short sword!
Clang—
The sharp, piercing sound of metal echoed across Iwagakure, and Madara's brow furrowed instantly.
For his Susano'o's massive blade had just been shattered by Minamoto's strike!
"Is this...?"
Madara was stunned. The fact that the Susano'o's blade could be broken was beyond belief.
His gaze fixed on Minamoto, and a chilling thought crossed his mind.
"Is that Yin-Yang Release?"
As someone who had awakened the Rinnegan, Madara was highly attuned to Yin-Yang Release.
But he knew all too well how difficult it was to achieve. Even he had only unlocked the Rinnegan after decades of effort, allowing him to gain some mastery over Yin-Yang Release.
Under normal circumstances, he had never seen anyone else achieve this level of power!
"How did this brat manage it?"
Madara's vigilance grew exponentially, but Obito's eyes lit up with opportunity.
After Minamoto shattered Madara's Susano'o blade, he paused briefly, and Obito saw his chance!
"Die, you slippery eel!"
Obito roared furiously, his Susano'o swinging its blade directly at Minamoto.
Boom—
The attack unleashed its full power, warping the very space around it.
The overwhelming force turned the already devastated ground into rubble, dust and debris flying everywhere.
This sudden strike left everyone watching deeply worried. Anyone caught in such an attack would surely perish!
Yet strangely, Obito's expression grew tense, and even Madara looked momentarily stunned.
"The Susano'o's power is indeed formidable, a true ultimate weapon of the Uchiha Clan."
Minamoto's voice rang out from the dust, prompting Obito to attempt retracting his Susano'o blade.
But to his shock, he found himself unable to move it. As the dust cleared, everyone saw Minamoto standing atop the Susano'o's blade, his voice calm and chilling.
"Its speed isn't particularly impressive, and I've always been curious about one thing..."
Buzz—
In an instant, Minamoto leapt upward. His speed was terrifyingly fast, and before Obito could react, Minamoto was already face-to-face with him!
"Is the Susano'o's defense truly as impenetrable as the legends say?"
Obito's face turned pale, and he immediately commanded his Susano'o to defend itself.
He didn't know what Minamoto was planning, but he could feel the danger!
"This brat..."
Madara sensed something amiss but had no time to act.
Minamoto's speed surged again, his ghost-like figure twisting mid-air before accelerating once more.
Crack—
With a sound like shattering glass, Susano'o's crystalline barrier broke apart, and Minamoto appeared directly in front of Obito!
"Damn it!"
Obito's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Susano'o to be shattered in an instant.
He tried to activate Kamui, but Minamoto's speed left him no opportunity!
Boom—
With a heavy thud, Minamoto delivered a powerful kick to Obito's chest. The immense force and excruciating pain contorted Obito's face.
Obito was sent flying, his Susano'o collapsing entirely as he was launched backward.
The blue Chakra dispersed into the air, and the monstrous figure that had wreaked havoc on Iwagakure began to fade away.
Ōnoki and the others were utterly dumbfounded. They couldn't comprehend what had just happened.
Such a colossal monster had been destroyed so easily?
"What kind of power is this?"
Obito was equally baffled. His body crashed heavily into the ground, rolling uncontrollably as rubble and debris scattered around him.
His mind buzzed, and he couldn't understand one thing.
"I've grown stronger, motivated by Rin's encouragement. I've gained even greater power..."
"But..."
"Why is it always like this?!"
