The Lava Giant slammed the ground violently, sending a shockwave radiating outwards from its center. Instantly, the ground cracked, and as if an earthquake had struck, the entire continent began to tremble!
"This is…" The Complete Body Susanoo standing on the ground was like a small boat tossed about in a storm. Uchiha Madara found it difficult to even stand steadily.
With a sudden movement, the Lava Giant took a massive stride and charged towards Madara Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo. Madara Uchiha was startled and instinctively prepared to raise his katana to counterattack.
But in the next moment, he was horrified to find that his Complete Body Susanoo seemed to lack the strength to even lift its sword, and the speed of its swing had slowed considerably!
"This move by the Lava Giant slows down the opponent's attack speed. You must be having a terrible time even holding your sword right now…"
Kaoru's words, like a demon's, echoed, unsettling Madara Uchiha.
"So what?! As long as I have the Yasakani no Magatama, you'll never be able to touch me!" Uchiha Madara's eyes regained their composure. The Complete Body Susanoo beneath him also raised the Yasakani no Magatama in its hand, preparing to block the Lava Giant's attack.
"Is that so? Then let's give it a try… Because this is the final move!" As Kaoru's words fell, he moved instantly, leaping off the Lava Giant's head.
"You're going to…" Looking at Kaoru leaving the Lava Giant's head, Madara Uchiha guessed his intentions.
"The era that belonged to you and Hashirama Senju has long passed…"
"So now… take your giant toy and go back where you came from!!!"
"Unstoppable Force!!!"
"ROAR!!!" As Kaoru's voice rang out, the Lava Giant before Uchiha Madara suddenly moved, charging towards him with unbelievable speed! Merely rising to its feet generated a wind pressure strong enough to overturn all the surrounding trees and even stir the clouds in the sky!
This was the Lava Giant's ultimate move! It possessed a terrifying power capable of knocking everything flying!
"How could this be!!!" Seeing this monster, which was nearly the same size as his Complete Body Susanoo, charging at him with astonishing speed, Madara Uchiha was both shocked and terrified. His Complete Body Susanoo could never achieve such speed!
Without further thought, Madara Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo forcefully raised the Yasakani no Magatama in its hand and held it directly in front of itself, hoping this divine artifact could turn the tide!
"Flying Thunder God Jutsu!"
A crisp shout shattered Madara Uchiha's delusion. The charging figure of the Lava Giant suddenly vanished from before Madara Uchiha and reappeared behind him almost simultaneously, charging with unrivaled might!
"He actually used Flying Thunder God Jutsu to transfer the Lava Giant…" A hint of despair finally appeared on Madara Uchiha's bewildered face for the first time.
Next came!
BOOM!!!
A tremendous impact sound instantly filled the entire world. Including Madara Uchiha, it seemed everyone present momentarily forgot the concepts of time and space, even their own existence!
The piercing sound almost ruptured everyone's eardrums, causing temporary deafness. Even the people in Konoha Village instinctively covered their ears.
Under the violent impact, Madara Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo was instantly sent flying, transforming into a blue beam of light that traced an incredibly profound and brilliant trajectory through the air.
For a moment, aside from the brown figure of the Lava Giant and the gradually disappearing blue silhouette of Susanoo, there was no other color in the world…
The Complete Body Susanoo was completely disintegrated by the impact with the Lava Giant, ceasing to exist in this world…
After the Unstoppable Force was unleashed, everything seemed to return to peace. However, the giant reddish-brown figure still stood firm. The Complete Body Susanoo and Uchiha Madara himself had vanished from the world, as if they had never existed.
Only the ground beneath the Lava Giant remained a deep, dark abyss. The long, endless gully left by the repelled Susanoo, and the colossal mountain ranges in the distance, broken and collapsing from Susanoo's impact, were the only proof that Madara Uchiha's Susanoo had once existed.
At the entrance of Konoha Village, Hinata activated her Byakugan, staring blankly at the landscape several kilometers away, which had been completely altered. Listening to the continuous rumbling of collapsing mountains in the distance, she suddenly felt that under such immense power that could easily reshape nature, she was as insignificant as a speck of dust.
"The Complete Body Susanoo was shattered. Then what about Uchiha Madara…"
As peace returned, Kaoru murmured softly. His Mangekyo Sharingan scanned the surrounding space, but he did not see Uchiha Madara's figure.
"An Edo Tensei body wouldn't just die like that…" Kaoru sighed and walked towards the gully created by the impact…
"It's truly unimaginable that such power exists in the world. I was even…"
A familiar voice was heard. Kaoru turned his head and looked.
"I almost thought I had completely dissipated from this world just now. If it weren't for my Edo Tensei body, I probably…" From the dark, deep gully, only Uchiha Madara's head and some incomplete body parts slowly floated out. The rest of his body began to regenerate, and his eerie purple Rinnegan revealed disbelief and shock.
"An Edo Tensei body is indeed very convenient. However, for me, it's not impossible to break…"
Looking at Uchiha Madara floating out of the gully, his fragmented body slowly recovering, Kaoru's lips curved into an enigmatic smile and he spoke.
Hearing Kaoru's words, and knowing that there was no exaggeration in them, Madara Uchiha, though unsure how Kaoru could break the Edo Tensei, understood from Kaoru's various bizarre and powerful ninjutsu that this was no joke.
Yet, even facing Kaoru's threat, Madara Uchiha's face, though shocked, showed no panic or disarray. "It seems Zetsu and Obito's words were not exaggerated at all…"
"You are indeed the strongest ninja born in this era… and the biggest variable and obstacle in my plan…" Madara Uchiha murmured in a low voice, his face gradually revealing a look of obsession and fervor.
"But because of that… I'm even more motivated… I always considered Hashirama Senju my arch-rival, but now, it seems I need to change that…"
"Uchiha Madara, don't take yourself too seriously. You are not my arch-rival. You are not worthy…" Kaoru said calmly, his tone tinged with a hint of arrogance.
"To wait for the appearance of that strongest individual, I will spare your life. This is your only remaining value…"
"And once I defeat her and eliminate the final threat, no one will be able to stop me. The world of Naruto will become my personal playground…"
"The strongest individual?!" Uchiha Madara's heart skipped a beat. Who was this 'strongest individual' Kaoru mentioned?
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, hundreds of meters away from the battlefield, finally lost his composure. Did Uchiha Kaoru know… But how was that possible…
"Hmph, no matter what, the next time we fight… it will be my true resurrected body…" Madara Uchiha's wavy eyes, emitting a strange purple light, stared intently at Kaoru. His cracked face showed an unusual expression. "And at that time, you will face… my absolute peak power!"
"Whatever…" Facing Madara Uchiha's grand declaration of war, Kaoru merely shrugged indifferently.
"Hmph, I will let you know my true power…" Madara Uchiha said gruffly, then vanished from his spot, having escaped.
"The legendary Uchiha Madara of the ninja world actually fled in such a disheveled manner. How uninteresting…"
Kaoru slowly dispelled the Lava Giant that remained on the ground. His eyes gazed into the endless void before him, sharp light flashing within them.
