Chapter 627: Madara Vs Team Izuna Part-4
"I am not done yet!"
BAM…
Sasuke balls his hands into fists, lighting and mes flickering between them. He ms them together.
CHIRPP… CHII…
ck mes cover the right side of his body while ck lightning shrouds the left side.
A massive Susanoo covered in ck mes and ck lightning appears behind Sasuke. The Susanoo wields a massive de simr to Muramasa engulfed in ck mes and lightning.
Swish…
The Susanoo''s de spans a wide range and shrouds Madara''s body, falling on him. Madara confidently raises his head and nce at Sasuke''s de.
Shiing…Madara activates this eyes''s ability to escape Sasuke''s strike. However, Sasuke is a step faster than him.
A purple glimmer shes across Sasuke''s left eye.
"Gozutennō,"
Shiing…
Cursed ck mes erupt on Madara''s body and bind him with ck mes chains, paralyzing him in the spot for a second.
''An ocr curse technique?!''
BOOM…
Sasuke''s strike cleaves a massive portion of theoid structure. The shockwaves of the attack even fling the debris into space, flinging them away from theoid at a remarkable speed.
Shiing…
Sasuke sheathes the Muramasa de.
BOOM…
A massive burst of ck mes erupts from the bottomless rift, engulfing everything. A massive curtain of mes rise towards the sky. Izuna nces at the sight and nods slightly.
''There is a reason I gave the two cursed des to these two. Not only will these des allow them to tap into thetent potential hidden within their body after awakening the Six Paths'' power; but it will also allow them to sense the brutality of this power.
These two des are perfectlypatible with their physique and spirit. Naruto possesses powerful endurance, physique, and vitality; so, the Ikutachi de is the most suitable for him.
As for Sasuke, he possesses a powerful spirit and mind. The Muramasa de corrupts the minds of its users, turning them into a powerful killing tool. Uchiha n members feel their emotions more strongly than any other n, which includes the killing intent. If Sasuke can harness that killing intent in the Muramasa de without yielding his mind, then his potential and power will rise even further.
I have currently sealed the full power of these swords to ensure their safety. Drawing the full power of these des is not only the training but also a test for them. And who else can be a perfect opponent other than the current grandpa?
If I fight them, they won''t hold any killing intent towards me. But the same can''t be said for Grandpa…''
Izuna nces at the withered body of Gai and the cold body of Kakashi in his sub-dimension.
''Kakashi, Gai… please forgive me for doing this to you two. But this is the only method to direct their bloodlust at Madara. I will properly apologize to your graveter!''
Izuna performs a solemn bow to the two.
''Of course. What did you guys think? Will I allow these two to die just like that? Anybody else can die, but not these two. If these two die, then who will manage the brain and brawn of my shinobi army? Ahem… I can''t allow my thoughts to leak like that!''
Izuna raises his head and nces at the battlefield. Under the brutal bombardment of Naruto and Sasuke, Izuna''s dimension crumbles.
"My precious dimension!" Izuna is ovee by the grief of losing yet another dimension.''
"The power in my left eye is back."
Shiing…
A faint chakra ripple shes across Izuna''s left eye and the nine tomoes in his Rinnegan converge together to form a strange pattern.
Izuna closes his left eye.
''My right eye will take another thirty minutes to recover.''
Even with hisst reserve of energy, fighting several powerful enemies continuously and using his most powerful trump card three times in a row has left him pretty exhausted.
Even now, he is forcing himself to fight at full strength.
''I can''t let all those variables affect the fate of the shinobi world.''
Izuna remarks while ncing at the ck Zetsu hidden within Madara''s sleeve.
''Strange! Why ck Zetsu hasn''t made his move yet? Is he afraid of the current Naruto and Sasuke? Or is he wary of me? Or is something else…''
Cough… cough…
Madara walks out from the mes with half his body covered in ck mes. izuna nce at Madara.
''If that''s the case, then I have to force him to make a move. I need Kaguya to appear to discuss a few things with her, since only she can rify a few things for me and possibly allow me to infiltrate the Otsutsuki n. If the situation is the same as what that old kid Hagoromo says, then I will have to end her life.''
''Shinra Tensei!''
Madara expels the ck mes covering his body. However, the curse inflicted by Muramasa still lingers on his body, slowing his regeneration.
HAAH…
Naruto uses this opportunity tounch a counterattack.
Whoosh…
Ripples appear through space as Naruto appears beside Madara in one-hundredth of a second. His speed is almost the same as when Izuna attacked Madara.
''He''s fast! How is this kid so fast now?''
''I see!'' A slight smile appears on Izuna''s face.
''He learned the ''spatialpression'' technique only after watching me execute it once. The only thing restricting him previously was hisck of strength, but now, he can barely manage it!''
Shiing…
The eye of Madara''s forehead reacts instinctively.
"Amatsukunitama,"
Shoom…
Suddenly, the space around Madara loses all its color, leaving only a shade of ck. While lines travel outward from Madara''s position, freezing everything in time.
Madara uses his time-freezing ability again. Naruto''s de is inches away from his heart.
"That was a bit close!"
Madara raises his arm and swings his scythe to finish Naruto off.
SLASH…
A burst of blood sshes out. Naruto''s neck cleanly separates from his head and falls to the ground, rolling with a nk expression.
"One down! Two more to go! Huh! Where is the third one?"
Madara''s expression freezes as Izuna is missing from the frozen world.
"Only he was able to move into this frozen world. This time, this technique is even stronger than before. Did he escape? I will deal with himter. But first…"
Madara throws the Scythes towards a frozen Sasuke.
SLASH…
Another burst of blood stters and Sasuke''s head also loops off from his body.
Shiing…
A purple glimmer shes across Sasuke''s eye before his head falls to the ground.
SHUA…
Suddenly, Sasuke''s head, which was about to touch the ground, pauses in mid-air.
Then it slowly floats back alongside the burst of blood and attaches itself to his body.
''Hmm… Izanagi,''
Doubts appear in Madara''s mind.
SHIING…
Sasuke opens his eye and his Rinnegan emits a dark purple glow. A chime echoes in the silent, timeless space. One of the tomoe in his eye rapidly spins in an anti-clockwise direction.
"Amatsukunitama: Gyakuten,"
Rumble… Rumble…
The surroundings tremble slightly, and slowly colors appear in the ck and white world. Chunks of rocks and debris fly in reverse and return to their former position.
"I see! So, that''s another ability of your left eye."
Naruto''s head, which had fallen to the ground, slowly levitates and reattaches to his head.
Ding…
With another chime, the tomoe makes aplete revolution, returning to its starting position. The purple glimmer in Sasuke''s eye vanishes, and he closes his eye to preserve chakra. A trace of blood leaks from his left eye.
Cough… cough…
Sasuke coughs some blood.
AH!
Naruto, who was frozen in space, turned normal.
Swish… ng…
He blocks a scythe swing with his longsword and retreats.
"Did I just die?"
Naruto touches his neck around.
"I still have a prickly feeling in my neck?"
"Three seconds! So, that''s the limit of your time reversal."
Madara opens his mouth.
"Now, I am more curious to see more of your abilities. You have yet to reach your full potential, right?"
Whoosh…
Madara flies towards Naruto and Sasuke while duel-wielding the scythes.
ng… ng…
Sparks fly everywhere as Naruto and Sasuke attack him head-on.
BOOM…
With every swing of their de, a distant mountain is obliterated into dust. However, Madara perfectly endures and redirects their attack.
sh… sh…
He even shes open several wounds on Naruto and Sasuke''s bodies, leaving the faint corrosive purple Abyss energy behind.
The veins on Naruto''s body absorb the purple energy while the dark mes on Sasuke''s body evaporate it.
''Looks like the special power of this weapon is useless against them. Well… it''s the same for them!''
Previously, Madara could negate most of the damage from Sasuke''s attack thanks to the scythes in his hand. He even enveloped himself with Truth-seeking orbs to mitigate the damage. Despite everything, it still left him in a miserable state.
While Madara was battling the Naruto and Sasuke duo, ck Zetsu was also keeping an eye on his surroundings while plotting something.
''Where is the third brat? He is a much greater threat than these two?''
ck Zetsu''s body emits faint, unnoticeable smoke that slowly seeps into Madara''s body.
''It will take me another thirty minutes to control Madara''s body. I hope these two brats can stall enough time!''
