The destruction caused by the two Perfect Susanoo was immense, as the terrain of the battlefield had already been altered by their fight.
So far, the battle between the two was evenly matched. Uchiha Madara's Susanoo sword was covered in marks left by Wind Blades, while Uchiha En's Susanoo had several visible sword cuts.
Uchiha Madara's emotions grew increasingly agitated during his fight with Uchiha En. He hadn't expected anyone other than Senju Hashirama to be able to confront him head-on. Meeting an opponent like Uchiha En right after returning to this world made Uchiha Madara incredibly excited, and he desperately wanted to defeat Uchiha En.
In comparison, Uchiha En appeared much calmer.
However, the two men's attitudes toward the fight would not affect the outcome. Uchiha Madara wanted to win, but Uchiha En fundamentally could not lose.
If Uchiha En wanted to, he could easily seal Uchiha Madara by entering Dominator Mode.
But Uchiha En didn't do that. He was fighting Madara here specifically to draw out Takegami Ōtsutsuki.
"It should be about time!" Uchiha En thought to himself.
Following this, Uchiha En suddenly launched an attack. Although their previous fight seemed evenly matched, Uchiha En had actually used the Ice Release of Kekkei Mōra during the Susanoo collisions to slowly condense the moisture in the air inside Uchiha Madara's Susanoo into small ice crystals. Now, a large number of small ice crystals were scattered throughout Madara's Susanoo.
Uchiha Madara was unaware of this. When he launched his next attack, Uchiha En smiled and instantly activated the ice crystals inside Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.
The scattered ice crystals instantly gathered, freezing Uchiha Madara's Susanoo arm, and the sword slash aimed at Uchiha En froze mid-air.
Uchiha Madara was stunned. Only then did he notice the ice crystals inside his Susanoo. His expression turned ugly, realizing Uchiha En had actually tampered with the inside of his Susanoo.
With his arm frozen, Uchiha Madara was helpless for the moment.
Uchiha En's lips curled slightly. He pointed his arm toward the sky, and the next second, a special Chakra that looked like Lightning Release but had the softness of Water Release wrapped around his nodachi.
"Sage Art: Storm Release: Thunder Wave Slash!"
"Swoosh~" A Water Blade composed of lightning descended from the sky, instantly slicing Uchiha Madara's Ice Release-restricted Susanoo in half.
Uchiha Madara and his Susanoo shattered and vanished.
Moments later, paper scraps fluttered and accumulated, forming Uchiha Madara's appearance.
After reforming, Uchiha Madara showed no sign of anger. Instead, he looked at Uchiha En and said with interest, "Ice Release plus Storm Release. Is this the power of Kekkei Mōra?"
Uchiha En just smiled without saying anything. Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's face darkened. "Don't think you've won yet." As he spoke, Uchiha Madara's Mangekyo changed, gradually transforming into the Rinnegan.
Seeing Uchiha Madara activate the Rinnegan, Uchiha En shrugged and said, "Looks like Round Two is about to start!"
After speaking, Uchiha En's eyes also transformed into the Rinnegan.
Seeing Uchiha En's eyes, Uchiha Madara showed surprise and even panic for the first time. "A Rinnegan! How is this possible!"
"That Stone Tablet is right there for anyone to see. Is it strange that I can awaken the Rinnegan? Besides, didn't you just say I possessed the power of Kekkei Mōra? Since I can use Kekkei Mōra's power, it's only natural that I have the Rinnegan, right?" Uchiha En said with a smile.
After seeing Uchiha En's Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara began to consider retreating. He thought to himself: "I didn't expect this boy to also awaken the Rinnegan. With Kekkei Mōra plus the power of the Rinnegan, the situation is very unfavorable for me! Should I just go straight to Obito's location?
Obito has already gathered eight Tailed Beasts, plus some Nine-Tails Chakra. Reviving the Ten-Tails shouldn't be a problem."
"Uchiha Madara, don't think about running away. If the two of us work together, we might have a chance to kill him!" Suddenly, Takegami Ōtsutsuki's voice rang out in Uchiha Madara's mind.
Uchiha Madara froze for a moment; his pride would never allow him to team up with others against an enemy.
However, before Uchiha Madara could agree, Takegami Ōtsutsuki suddenly emerged from a spatial dimension and launched an attack on Uchiha En.
Takegami Ōtsutsuki drew a Red Long Whip from the Red Ring behind him.
Takegami Ōtsutsuki swung the long whip toward Uchiha En.
Instead of panicking at Takegami Ōtsutsuki's attack, Uchiha En's eyes lit up. He had finally waited for him!
Takegami Ōtsutsuki's Red Chakra Long Whip suddenly stopped in mid-air just as it was about to hit Uchiha En.
The next second, a layer of ice as thin as a cicada's wing covered the long whip.
Uchiha En raised his finger and tapped the long whip.
"Bang!" The whip instantly shattered into a puddle of ice crystals.
"We meet again, Takegami Ōtsutsuki. Last time in the Forest of Death, you didn't even leave your name, which was quite annoying!"
Hearing this, Takegami Ōtsutsuki frowned, feeling a sense of unease. Why did Uchiha En look like he was specifically waiting for him here?
Just as Takegami Ōtsutsuki was about to ask, a figure suddenly appeared behind Uchiha En.
The figure swung the Ice Blade in her hand, piercing directly through Uchiha En's heart.
"Lord Takegami, now's your chance!"
"Ujiha, well done!" Takegami complimented, rushing toward Uchiha En.
Uchiha En clutched his chest, his expression one of extreme pain. He reached back and grabbed Ujiha, then flung her toward Takegami Ōtsutsuki.
Takegami Ōtsutsuki subconsciously caught Ujiha. After what had just happened, Takegami Ōtsutsuki trusted Ujiha completely.
However, the next second, Takegami Ōtsutsuki's expression changed drastically because he felt some kind of Mark had been left on his body.
"You—"
"Lord Takegami, you can't run away now! Prepare to die!" Ujiha said with a laugh.
Hearing this, Takegami Ōtsutsuki's face turned scarlet with rage. "You damned Ninja World native! A creature as lowly as an ant dares to deceive me!"
With that, Takegami Ōtsutsuki pulled the Red Rope on his wrist.
Ujiha immediately felt her neck tighten. The Red Rope had already embedded itself in the flesh of her neck. If Takegami Ōtsutsuki exerted just a little more force, Ujiha's head would be ripped off.
However, Uchiha En would not give him that chance.
Uchiha En instantly entered Dominator Mode.
In a breath, the time, space, and everything on the entire battlefield was frozen, just like when the Six Paths Sage first appeared.
Except Uchiha En used Ice Release under Dominator Mode to freeze time and space.
Uchiha En instantly teleported in front of Takegami Ōtsutsuki and crushed the Red Thread Takegami Ōtsutsuki was using to control Ujiha.
Takegami Ōtsutsuki was an Ōtsutsuki Clan member after all; the moment Uchiha En crushed the Red Thread, he broke free from the ice seal.
After all, his Rinnegan also had time-related abilities.
This was also why Uchiha En hadn't attacked him directly.
