From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 511 Shadow Emperor
"The Emperor of Shadows?"

Madara Uchiha frowned slightly, then turned to seriously examine Uesugi Kotetsu.

Although he had never heard of the title 'Shadow King', the pressure emanating from the old man was undeniable and genuinely made him feel a bit of pressure.

"To be able to bear the title of 'Emperor,' you must possess some strength." The ever-arrogant Uchiha Madara proudly swung his arm to break free from the control, shook his hand, patted the layers of armor on his body, and tilted his head to stare at him: "Come, let this old man test just how capable you are!"

"Can we not fight?"

Uesugi Kotsugi looked slightly distressed, seemingly extremely unwilling: "Let's talk this over. You give me Naruto Uzumaki, and I'll leave immediately, how about that?"

"Enough with the nonsense!"

However, Madara Uchiha didn't give him a chance to refuse at all, taking a deep breath the moment he formed the hand seals.

Boiling chakra was drawn up to his throat in one breath, transforming into a raging inferno that swept in like a raging tsunami. The scalding heat even distorted the entire atmosphere as it rose.

"Why did it have to be me who got this thankless and exhausting job?"

Uesugi Koshi looked helplessly at the sea of ​​fire sweeping across the sky, but showed no panic whatsoever.

"Word of Power: The Crystal Brahma City!"

The area formed by the airflow resembled a fortified city, spreading out from Uesugi Kotsugi's body, exhibiting a state of solidification and crystallization.

From a distance, it looked just like a jade city made of crystal, blocking out all the raging flames. No matter how the fire tried to erode it, it could not penetrate even an inch!
Uesugi Yue, who was inside the Lapis Lazuli Castle, slowly rolled up his sleeves, his playful expression gradually disappearing as he looked at the serious Uchiha Madara: "Ninja World Asura, I've heard of your name for a long time. It's a good opportunity for this old man to see the methods of you ninjas!"

Before he could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha was like a streak of light, tearing through the sky in the blink of an eye.

The fist pierced the air and came straight at us!
"Well done!" Uesugi Kotsugu exhaled a scorching stream of air. His skin, covered with layers of bluish-black scales, opened and closed automatically as if it were breathing, emitting hot smoke and white vapor.

Then, his seemingly old body swelled up as if inflated, and his five fingers clenched into a fist to meet the attack fiercely!
boom! ! !
The two men's fists collided, creating a sonic boom!

The surrounding air currents surged and roared, blowing everyone nearby away. Even Black Zetsu was pushed back several steps, staring at Uesugi Kotsuki with a look of astonishment.

It never imagined that the seemingly unreliable old man could actually be on par with Uchiha Madara.
However, the battle continued. When Madara Uchiha saw that his opponent had taken his punch, he showed no concern whatsoever. Instead, he revealed an even stronger fighting spirit: "That's right, that's it. You are one of only three people besides Hashirama and Munezuki who can excite me!"

"Is it?"

Uesugi Kotsugu's brow furrowed, his muscles seemed to swell once more, his bones rumbled like thunder, and a violent aura flowed out: "But if that's all the strength you have, it won't excite me!"

Word of Power: The Bronze Throne!
It allows the caster to strengthen their physique in a very short time, making their physical strength comparable to that of a dragon!

Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted slightly as he instantly sensed an overwhelming force rushing towards him. Even he was shocked by the sudden change in his expression and was about to withdraw his power when he saw Uesugi Kotsu step forward and his fist forcefully break through his defense. Like a cannonball, it crashed into his body with a deafening roar!

Boom——! ! !
A massive cloud of smoke swept through the air like a giant dragon, dragging Madara Uchiha backwards as he flew away!

The entire street in front of the Konoha gate looked as if it had been plowed by a giant tunnel boring machine, with semi-circular traces of debris on the ground.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, Uesugi Yue waved his hand, his face showing a hint of disappointment: "Is this all the legendary Uchiha Madara is capable of? I think we should just discuss it and let him hand over 'Uzumaki Naruto' to me. I don't want to cause too much damage."

However, a figure emerged from the smoke and dust; it was none other than Uchiha Madara.

However, the armor on this ninja world demon's body had been shattered by that punch, and half of his body was also badly damaged. It was clear that if it weren't for the 'Impure World Reincarnation', he would have been defeated by that punch.

"What a strong force"

Madara Uchiha wasn't angry at Uesugi Yue's sarcasm. He calmly said, "No wonder you're confident enough to challenge me. I acknowledge your strength!"

It is not shameful to be inferior to the other party in some aspects.

Moreover, he was a ninja, and his specialty was ninjutsu; as for taijutsu, he only practiced it incidentally.

"The real show is about to begin!"

Madara Uchiha's eyes flashed with a chilling light as he abruptly formed hand seals. Powerful chakra surged and exploded around him, creating waves of energy: "Wood Release: Advent of the Flower Tree World!!!"

With his single move, almost half of Konoha's ground trembled, and thick trees grew at a visible speed, breaking through the soil and then growing into enormous flowers.

"Be careful! This is the First Hokage's Advent of the Flowering Tree World!" Black Zetsu, who was behind them, was worried that Uesugi Kotsuki would be at a disadvantage, so he hurriedly reminded him, "Whatever you do, don't inhale the pollen, or you'll be poisoned!"

"Heh, luckily I had already made the people of Konoha evacuate beforehand."

Madara Uchiha stepped over the wildly growing trees, gradually rising to a high position. Looking down at the two below, he sneered, "Now, we can unleash our full power!"

From the blooming flower buds, pollen, like dust and smog, was released!

The pollen, carried by the wind, quickly spread over hundreds of miles, a range that was astonishing!

"Hey, have you ever heard this word before?"

But, looking at the pervasive pollen, Uesugi Kotetsu revealed a strange smile: "Have you ever heard of the term 'dust explosion'?"

"what?"

Madara Uchiha's expression changed slightly, as if he had guessed something.

But it's too late!
Uesugi Kotsushi snapped his fingers, his golden eyes, burning like molten lava, gleaming with indifferent light: "Word of Power: Lord's Flame!"

Boom——! ! !
The next moment, the ignited fire element directly triggered a tremendous explosion!

The fire elements, gathered like a raging confiscation, were detonated in one go, bursting into a blazing white ball of light in the atmosphere. The terrifying temperature of thousands of degrees rose into a mushroom cloud hundreds of meters high, like a giant sun that occupied most of Konoha!
Rolling heat waves surged, and shockwaves carrying a sea of ​​fire raged in all directions!
Amidst the violent explosion, Uesugi Kotsushi activated his 'Time Zero' domain and dashed out as if his rear had caught fire.

Looking at the destruction he had caused, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "My goodness, I didn't expect it to be this powerful. I should have known better than to use Junyan. I hope the target wasn't blown up."

Black Zetsu doesn't know if the target was killed by the explosion, but it was almost killed!

"Couldn't you have told me beforehand?!"

Black Zetsu glared at him with resentment: "Are you fucking trying to kill me?!"

Glancing at Black Zetsu, Uesugi Echizen nonchalantly dusted himself off: "Don't get so worked up, you're not dead yet, are you?"
