Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 358 The seal failed, and Madara was enraged.
Madara smiled contemptuously as he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had lost his fighting ability.

Madara only slightly moved, yet he had already exceeded Hiruzen Sarutobi's limit.

That's about all the Third Hokage was capable of.

Speaking of which, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also the Hokage with the longest tenure.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also had a lot of accolades, including being named the strongest Hokage.

Before the light screen appeared, many people in the ninja world believed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was the strongest Hokage, but now saying that Hiruzen Sarutobi is the strongest Hokage is just laughable.

"Uchiha Madara, I will not allow you to harm the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi said, spitting out blood as he stared at Madara.

The next moment, the Inner Four Symbols Seal engraved on Hiruzen Sarutobi's body was triggered.

Instantly, Hiruzen Sarutobi's blood surged and expanded, forming a sphere.

Everything happened so fast.

Ban was also surprised.

Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly intended to perish together with Madara, dragging him down to the underworld with him.

“This is…” Ban’s pupils contracted; of course he knew about the Four Symbols Seal.

This is similar to the Reaper Death Seal, both being sealing techniques that result in mutual destruction. The difference is that the Reaper Death Seal seals the target's soul into the stomach of the Grim Reaper, while the caster's soul is also sealed into the Grim Reaper's stomach. As for the Inner Four Symbols Seal, it drags everything into the underworld.

If Madara were at the Six Paths level now, he might not necessarily be dragged into the underworld, but he is not at the Six Paths level now, so if he were dragged into the underworld, he would die.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi activated the Inner Four Symbols Seal, which was extremely fast and sudden.

Madara was too close to Hiruzen Sarutobi, making it difficult for him to dodge.

Looking at the Susanoo Giant activated by Madara, it was completely unable to block the Four Symbols Seal.

However, although the Susanoo was destroyed, it bought Madara some precious time.

Although the time was short, it was enough for Ban.

Just as the Four Symbols Seal was about to expand and engulf Madara, Madara used the Substitution Jutsu to dodge at the crucial moment.

A piece of wood was dragged into the underworld.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who activated the Four Symbols Seal, was naturally dead.

This was quite a close call for Ban.

However, before Madara could even breathe a sigh of relief, a Susanoo giant appeared behind him.

Madara turned his head and saw Itachi activating Susanoo.

Although Itachi's Susanoo was not in its complete form, the Totsuka Blade appeared in his hand.

The Totsuka Sword is Itachi Susanoo's spiritual weapon.

Once pierced by the Totsuka Sword, one will be sealed away.

When Madara arrived in Konoha, Itachi spotted him immediately.

Although he discovered Madara's presence and knew that Madara's intentions were definitely not good, Itachi did not act rashly.

Itachi remained calm, knowing that Madara was incredibly strong and that a direct confrontation would be futile. Therefore, he could only resort to surprise.

During the battle between Guy and Madara, Itachi did not find an opportunity to make a move.

Even when Hiruzen Sarutobi fought Madara, the difference in skill level was still significant.

Madara's strength is simply too great.

He is much stronger than Madara, who defeated Hashirama, as shown on the screen not long ago.

That's quite normal, after all, Madara stole Hashirama's power.

Madara was already very strong, and by taking over Hashirama's power, his strength was further enhanced.

However, Madara's current strength mainly lies in his Rinnegan.

If Madara lost the Rinnegan, his strength would definitely decrease significantly.

However, as things stand now, it's too difficult to make Madara lose his Rinnegan.

Hiruzen Sarutobi activated the Inner Four Symbols Seal, finally giving Itachi an opportunity.

Therefore, Itachi decisively took action.

Seizing the brief opportunity that Hiruzen Sarutobi had gained at the cost of his life, Itachi immediately activated Susanoo and then thrust out the Totsuka Blade with all his might.

Itachi understood that this opportunity was hard-won and he had to make the most of it.

Even if they could catch Madara off guard, it wouldn't be realistic to kill him in one blow, so they decided to seal him away.

The Totsuka Blade is not a physical object, but a spiritual weapon, or a spiritual artifact. It is a weapon that comes with Itachi's Susanoo and can seal enemies into dreams.

"If the Third Hokage couldn't seal Madara Uchiha, then I, with my Totsuka Blade, will seal Madara!" Itachi thought to himself.

Itachi could almost see Madara being sealed away by the Totsuka Blade, his face filled with astonishment.

Itachi was confident in the sealing ability of the Totsuka Blade.

And now the timing is perfect; Itachi doesn't think Madara can dodge it.

Therefore, the Totsuka Sword will definitely hit Madara.

Once Madara was stabbed by the Totsuka Blade, it was impossible for him not to be sealed away.

Ban was indeed surprised.

The Totsuka Sword was actually blocked by a round fan.

"What?!" Itachi's expression changed drastically. His sure-fire attack had been blocked.

Looking at the fan in Madara's hand, it is clearly an ancestral weapon of the Uchiha clan.

This fan is very powerful, and in Madara's hands now, it can unleash even greater power.

The fact that the fan was able to block Itachi's all-out attack with the Totsuka Blade, and that the fan remained intact, shows how extraordinary the fan is.

"The Totsuka Sword?" Madara squinted.

The Ten-Fist Sword has quite a history.

If Madara were to be stabbed by the Totsuka Blade now, he would likely be sealed in a dream world.

Although Madara was somewhat arrogant, he did not dare to underestimate the Totsuka Blade.

Itachi's heart sank. First, the Third Hokage's Four Symbols Seal, and now his Totsuka Blade, both failed to seal Madara.

Both attempts to seal it failed.

Looking at Ban again, a hint of anger appeared on Ban's face.

Clearly, Madara was enraged.

Although he wasn't sealed away, Madara harbored resentment.

If Madara had been even slightly careless, he would have been sealed away.

Also, Madara didn't have a good impression of Itachi.

Itachi's strength is not low, but Madara thinks Itachi was fooled by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It turns out that Ban had good taste.

Everyone thought Obito was a loser. In the Uchiha clan, Obito had never shown any talent since childhood, but Madara chose Obito.

Obito's actions after his corruption and transformation fully demonstrate that Madara made the right choice.

However, Madara was deceived by Black Zetsu from the very beginning, and no matter how much he schemed against Obito, he couldn't change the fact that he was outmaneuvered by Black Zetsu.

Of course, now that he knows, Madara will definitely not be tricked by Black Zetsu again.

Although Madara still wanted to revive the Ten-Tails and become its jinchūriki, Black Zetsu's attempt to rip out Madara's heart was unsuccessful.

Or rather, as long as Black Zetsu dares to show his face, Madara will kill him.

Reviving the Ten-Tails requires the Gedo Mazo to absorb the chakra of the nine tailed beasts.

The Gedo Mazo, originally sealed on the moon by Awei, has been unsealed, and Madara has summoned it to the ninja world.

All that's left is to collect the tailed beasts.

Madara coldly stared at Itachi, who had activated Susanoo, and waved the fan in his hand.

The fan blocked the Totsuka Sword, and with this swing, the power of the Totsuka Sword rebounded.

This is the Uchiha's counterattack.

The weasel narrowly escaped.

Of course, even if Itachi hadn't dodged, he wouldn't have been sealed by his own Totsuka Blade, but he would definitely have been injured.

"The Uchiha Reflection technique used by Madara Uchiha could actually reflect the Totsuka Blade?" Itachi found it unbelievable.

Itachi could also use the Uchiha Reflection technique, but as for reflecting the Totsuka Blade, Itachi knew he couldn't do it, but Madara did.

This demonstrates the power of the spots.

It can even deflect the Totsuka Blade; this is far beyond what the current Itachi can match.

Itachi's forte is genjutsu, especially his Mangekyou Sharingan's Tsukuyomi. While not considered the strongest genjutsu, it is still extremely powerful. However, Itachi did not use genjutsu on Madara at this moment.

Itachi had previously used Tsukuyomi on Awei, but suffered a backlash as a result. Since then, Itachi has become more cautious when using genjutsu.

The reason Itachi didn't use genjutsu on Madara is because he knows that his Tsukuyomi won't be able to do anything to Madara, and might even backfire.

The Uchiha clan is known for its expertise in genjutsu, so Madara's genjutsu must be quite strong.

Moreover, Madara now possesses the Rinnegan, so his genjutsu must be incredibly powerful.

Since Tsukuyomi couldn't be used, Itachi used Amaterasu instead.

As Itachi's gaze fixed intently on Madara, black flames appeared out of thin air.

This black flame was summoned from the sun.

Even Black Zetsu called Amaterasu the strongest physical attack.

Once it comes into contact with Amaterasu, it will be burned to ashes; Amaterasu will not go out until then.

Black flames burned, but Madara dodged them.

Ban didn't want to get burned by Amaterasu.

Even if Madara activates Susanoo, if he gets burned by Amaterasu, although he can withstand it, the consumption of his eye power and chakra will be considerable.

In short, getting burned by Amaterasu would be very troublesome.

Avoiding Amaterasu is not too difficult for Madara.

At this moment, Madara easily dodged Amaterasu's burning attack and closed the distance between himself and Itachi.

As the distance closed, Madara swung his katana at Itachi's Susanoo.

Madara, on the other hand, was holding an Uchiha fan.

At this point, Madara's Susanoo had already reached its third stage.

Although it is not the complete Susanoo, Madara's third-stage Susanoo is still extremely powerful.

In terms of height comparison, Madara's Susanoo is much taller than Itachi's.

The strength of a character can be judged by the height of its Susanoo.

It is obvious that Madara's Susanoo is much more powerful.

Despite the enormous size of Madara's Susanoo, it moved with incredible speed.

Itachi's Susanoo was impossible to dodge, leaving him no choice but to fight back.

Facing Madara's Susanoo's katana, Itachi's Susanoo used the Totsuka Blade to defend.

The katana in Madara Susanoo's hand is also a spiritual weapon, but it is actually quite inferior to the Totsuka Blade.

However, as the katana and the Totsuka sword clashed, the Totsuka sword nearly collapsed.

Itachi was giving it his all, while Madara was far from using his full strength.

"Is that all?" Madara's tone was filled with disappointment.

The power Itachi is currently displaying is hardly something Madara is interested in.

Compared to the exhilaration of fighting Hashirama, these battles in Konoha were nothing more than bullying for Madara.

Some people might find it fun to bully weaker opponents, but Madara doesn't enjoy it. He prefers to fight strong opponents, at least those of similar strength, and even better if they are stronger than him.

Fighting the weak is a waste of time.

After the first slash, Madara Susanoo followed up with several more.

The Totsuka Blade shattered under the blows of Madara Susanoo.

And Itachi's Susanoo also broke down.

As for Itachi, blood tears streamed from his eyes, and he coughed up blood.

At this moment, Itachi felt his vision blurring, clearly indicating that his eye power was severely depleted.

As for Itachi, he had also exhausted most of his chakra.

The Uchiha clan's strength lies in their Sharingan, their ocular power, not their physical constitution.

Therefore, Itachi's chakra reserves are not considered large.

Compared to Kakashi, Itachi's chakra is inferior.

In the battle against Madara, Itachi fought with all his might, and his eye power and chakra were quickly depleted.

In a short time, his eye power was exhausted, and he didn't have much chakra left.

Looking at the spots again, it's as if they've just warmed up.

The difference shouldn't be too big.

After all, Madara was at his peak, and besides, he also had the Rinnegan and Hashirama's power.

Given Madara's current power, it would be incredible if Itachi could fight Madara to a standstill.

Madara is not only powerful, but also has a wealth of combat experience.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, for example, possessed immense power but lacked combat awareness.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki's power were given to Madara, even if Naruto and Sasuke combined their powers, they definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Therefore, even if Madara and Itachi had the same power, Madara still had a good chance of defeating Itachi.

After defeating Itachi's Susanoo, Madara kicked Itachi away with one kick.

The weasel flew backwards for dozens of meters and crashed into a wall, where it couldn't be pried off.

At this point, if Madara had just finished him off, Itachi would have died.

But Madara didn't even glance at Itachi.

The loser doesn't deserve to be taken too seriously by Ban.

Madara had something more important to do than kill Itachi: becoming the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

As for the statement on the screen that Sasuke has Indra's chakra and Naruto has Ashura's chakra, Madara was not sure.

However, if it really exists, Madara wouldn't mind taking it.

Although he had taken Hashirama's power, Madara would certainly not refuse the opportunity to obtain the power of Indra and Ashura if given the chance.

Even if Naruto and Sasuke truly possessed the powers of Indra and Ashura, they were not activated.

The Sage of Six Paths could help Naruto and Sasuke activate their powers, but Madara wasn't so sure.

Madara's perception allows him to know Naruto's location as well as Sasuke's.

Madara planned to go to Naruto's side first.

Madara had only taken a few steps when a group of ninjas surrounded him, led by Jiraiya.

Jiraiya has already activated Sage Mode.

If they can't beat him in a one-on-one fight, is it going to be a group brawl?

Madara looked at the ninjas around him with disdain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's death also ignited the anger of the surrounding ninjas.

Regardless, Hiruzen Sarutobi died protecting the village's Jinchūriki.

In everyone's eyes, Hiruzen Sarutobi embodies the Will of Fire.

"A bunch of pebbles, oblivious to their own mortality," Ban sneered.

Despite being surrounded by a group of ninjas, Madara showed no fear.

Even if there were 10 times more ninjas, Madara wouldn't care.

For true powerhouses, no matter how many weak ninjas there are, it doesn't mean much.

Only Jiraiya in Sage Mode could make Madara take him seriously.

Although Jiraiya's Sage Mode is not perfect and still requires the help of Fukasaku and Shima, it is still Sage Mode after all. Once activated, Jiraiya's strength is greatly enhanced.

This increase is almost as good as the Eight Gates Formation, and it doesn't have many side effects.

With the activation of Sage Mode, Jiraiya's chakra transformed into Sage Chakra.

Sage Chakra contains more natural energy than ordinary chakra, but its power is incomparable.

Using Sage Chakra to perform ninjutsu is also incredibly powerful.

Jiraiya's Sage Mode is also time-limited; he cannot maintain it for long. Therefore, once Sage Mode is activated, it must be used quickly to finish the battle.

While thinking this, Jiraiya launched the first attack on Madara.

With Jiraiya making the first move, the other Konoha ninjas followed suit.

In an instant, a large group of Konoha ninja surrounded and attacked Madara.
