Moreover, judging from their behavior, they are clearly adversaries.

This discovery secretly relieved him.

He already struggles to deal with one oddball; if he were to add another with the Rinnegan, wouldn't he be meeting the Sage of Six Paths today?

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had been looking forward to a great show, but the scene before him left him somewhat dissatisfied.

The reason he didn't take direct action was so that he could enjoy a tragic drama.

However, Madara Uchiha and the little girl's behavior did not develop in accordance with his expectations, which made him somewhat irritated.

He repeatedly let the little girl go, just to add some fun and excitement to his otherwise mundane tree-planting career.

He hoped to satisfy his deepest desires by manipulating the little girl's fate.

However, if she doesn't follow the script in his mind, then wouldn't all of this become meaningless?

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face gradually became gloomy and impatient, and his eyes revealed an impending outburst of displeasure.

The little girl keenly noticed this change and understood that it was a sign that Otsutsuki Isshiki was about to make his move.

Her eyes flickered, then she seemed to have made up her mind.

Then she suddenly stepped in front of Madara Uchiha, her eyes revealing unprecedented determination, and her voice conveying an undeniable resolve:

“Mr. Ban, you should leave. Although you are not the person I know, this time, I will stand in front of you.”

Every word she spoke seemed to come from the utmost of her strength, as if she were recounting her long-standing escape and suffering.

One by one, the people around her left her, and those images were like sharp knives cutting into her heart, pushing her to the brink of despair.

The death of that rogue was undoubtedly the last straw that broke the camel's back.

At that moment, her sadness and anger reached their peak.

She made up her mind to settle things with Isshiki Otsutsuki here.

She was willing to sacrifice herself, even if it meant mutual destruction.

Madara Uchiha looked at the figure blocking his way, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He dared to say that he did not know the person in front of him at all, but this stranger would actually sacrifice himself for him?

This shocked and puzzled him.

Looking at the little girl in front of him, he felt as if he were seeing an old friend from his past.

That spirit of risking one's life to protect someone important reminded him of Hashirama Senju.

That dearest friend who always stood by his side and fought alongside him.

'Hashirama, if it were you, you wouldn't run away, would you?' Madara Uchiha's heart was filled with complex emotions.

Self-esteem, pride, emotion, sadness... all these emotions intertwined, leaving him with a complex mix of feelings.

In the end, everything turned into a burning fighting spirit.

He, Uchiha Madara, was no weaker than anyone else.

Last time he faced Uchiha Seiryu, he escaped for the Eye of the Moon Plan.

Does he no longer even have the courage to face the enemy?

He reached out and pushed aside the little girl blocking his way, then snorted coldly and said:

"I, Uchiha Madara, do not have the habit of having brats cover my retreat!"

With that, he turned his gaze to Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was watching the show, and said coldly, "Then let's dance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Madara Uchiha activated his ninjutsu.

"Wood Release. Wooden Man Technique!"

A giant wooden figure appeared out of thin air and stood on the earth.

Immediately afterwards, amidst a deafening roar, "Armored Susanoo!", a war god clad in armor and wielding a giant sword appeared out of thin air.

"Come on!" Madara Uchiha said, and slashed with his sword.

Chapter 145: Imminent Arrival at the Battlefield

Just as Madara Uchiha unleashed his chakra, preparing for a desperate battle...

Xingliu, also in the Snow Country, was enjoying a delicious meal and chatting with several girls.

However, at that very moment, he raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had sensed some unusual fluctuation.

He slowly put down his chopsticks, looked into the distance, and his eyes revealed a playful look.

Although Madara Uchiha escaped during the Chunin Exams, Hoshiryu memorized his chakra.

At this moment, that familiar chakra surged and roared in the distance, its intensity and power as dazzling as a star in the night sky, drawing attention.

For Xingliu, it was like the brightest star in the entire arena was flashing wildly.

"Could this be Madara Uchiha awakening his Rinnegan and issuing a challenge to me?"

Xingliu thought to himself.

After all, in his view, such a move was indeed a bit too provocative.

They made no effort to conceal their whereabouts, riding the Seven-Tailed Fox at high speed, so that ordinary people might not be able to detect them.

But someone like Madara Uchiha is definitely not among ordinary people.

If his Rinnegan has truly been awakened, such provocative behavior is very much in line with his personality.

However, as Xingliu perceived things more carefully, he gradually dismissed the idea.

He sensed two people near Madara Uchiha whose auras were no less than his own.

This discovery greatly surprised Xingliu.

He initially thought this was just a provocation by Madara Uchiha, but now it seems the situation is more complicated than he anticipated.

His unusual behavior was noticed by the three women, and Tsunade stepped forward and asked:

"Xingliu, what happened?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's question, Seiryu nodded and answered affirmatively:

"Yes, I sensed that Madara Uchiha's chakra was near the Land of Snow, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle."

The news shocked the three women.

Their mission to find Uchiha Madara had only just begun, and they hadn't expected their target to appear so quickly.

What surprised them even more was that, in the current ninja world, besides Hoshiryu, there was actually someone who could fight against such a powerful ninja as Uchiha Madara.

Seeing their surprised expressions, Xingliu smiled slightly and said:

"It's alright, even if there's another Uchiha Madara, it's just a piece of cake."

Six years is indeed a period of tremendous change for Xingliu, who has been on a winning streak.

His strength has reached an unimaginable level.

If Madara Uchiha could escape from him six years ago, now, as long as Madara Uchiha appears within his perception range, escape will become a pipe dream.

As Zhili looked at Xingliu's domineering speech, his eyes shone with admiration and respect.

As a member of the Uchiha clan, Seiryu's confidence deeply attracted her.

And she's not as shy as she was when she was little anymore. Although her face turned bright red, she still managed to say something caring:

Even so, you still need to be careful! That's Uchiha Madara!

Although Nono didn't say anything, her eyes were full of concern and worry for Seiryu.

Seeing the three women's concerned expressions, Xingliu smiled proudly: "Don't worry, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he disappeared from the three women's sight.

.............

Meanwhile, the battle between Madara Uchiha and Isshiki Otsutsuki had entered a fierce stage.

The power these two extraordinary beings displayed during their clash was enough to alter the terrain and cause the surrounding environment to tremble.

Madara Uchiha's imposing Susanoo was no longer as majestic as it had been at the beginning.

The once sturdy and imposing armor became tattered and worn after continuous battles.

Standing atop the wooden dummy, Madara Uchiha fell into deep thought, striving to find a strategy to break free from his current predicament.

He could clearly sense that although the armored Susanoo was incredibly powerful, it seemed somewhat powerless in front of Otsutsuki Isshiki.

What made him even more uneasy was that during the battle with the enemy, he was caught off guard and had a lot of his chakra absorbed by the enemy.

This made him realize that continuing to rely on this move would not only waste precious chakra and eye power, but could also put him in an even more passive situation.

Just as Madara Uchiha was lost in thought, a mocking voice suddenly rang in his ear:

"You dare to lose focus while fighting me? Are you underestimating me?!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted sharply, and his vigilance instantly reached its peak.

To his surprise, his Susanoo armor was suddenly shrunk!

This meant that he was essentially exposed to the enemy, and his situation became extremely dangerous.

"Die!"

Otsutsuki Isshiki coldly declared, the black staff he gripped in his hand instantly slicing through the air like the scythe of death, slashing towards Uchiha Madara.

At this critical moment of life and death, a delicate shout, "Shinra Tensei!" resounded throughout the battlefield.

The little girl seized the fleeting opportunity and launched this powerful move.

An invisible force surged like a giant wave, pushing Isshiki Otsutsuki and Madara Uchiha away simultaneously, breaking the original deadlock.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Madara Uchiha quickly adjusted his state, dispelled his Susanoo armor, and used this brief respite to regain his footing.

Madara Uchiha, who had just escaped a deadly situation, did not show the slightest fear.

Instead, he inwardly mocked himself:

'Has it been too long since I fought? I was so careless. If Hashirama knew, he'd probably laugh at me.'
