Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 90: The Second Battle with Madara Uchiha

Let's move forward in time.

The battle between the Shadow Warriors and the White Zetsu was extremely fierce for both sides.

The Shadow Warriors of the Deer Era were almost entirely wiped out.

White Zetsu wasn't much better off.

Most of the white zeolites have turned into trees, intending to surround the deer.

"When the deer appear, I feel like these things are just stalling for time!" Nine Lamas said uncertainly.

Shikatoki had already figured it out. "I know, but why? If Madara Uchiha doesn't show up himself, where can he go? What exactly is his purpose?"

Kurama swept away a White Zetsu.

"Who knows what this guy is up to! Using these White Zetsu to drain your chakra?"

"How could that be! Madara Uchiha has fought me before, he knows my energy composition." Shikatoki directly denied it.

"You're delaying me to make a move on someone else? Who could it be? Kushina? Minato? Or Tsunade?"

Lu's mind was in a mess.

Those he knew were certainly no match for Madara Uchiha, but what was Madara Uchiha's purpose in doing this? To threaten him!

There's no real benefit to it!

"I think that bastard Madara Uchiha just thinks the ninja world is too peaceful!"

"That's how it was back then. They insisted on unifying the ninja world, causing a huge uproar, and ultimately leading to the capture and sealing of us tailed beasts by Hashirama Senju!"

The Nine Lamas spoke with righteous indignation.

A sudden inspiration struck Lu Shi.

"What did you just say?"

"I'm saying, Madara Uchiha insisted on unifying the ninja world, and now—"

Lu interrupted Nine Lama, "Not this line, it's the previous one!"

"Is the ninja world too peaceful?" Kurama asked tentatively.

"That's right!" After defeating the last White Zetsu, Shikatoki's mind cleared up completely. "He just thinks the ninja world is too peaceful right now. His plan isn't finished yet; the Third Shinobi World War can't end!"

Moreover, there's one more thing that Lu Shi didn't mention.

Those assassins once said that their shadows disappeared for a period of time, and when they reappeared, they were already dead.

Because Nara Shikatoki also disappeared for a period of time during this period, all the blame was directed at Nara Shikatoki.

Now everything is working.

It was that bastard Madara Uchiha who framed me!

"So what do we do?"

"What can we do?! Help them!"

Shika closed his eyes and sensed the shadow warrior that had been left in the shadow of the Third Raikage.

It's far away, but it's definitely not Kumogakure. This direction is more like the Land of Water, which further confirms Shikatoki's guess.

After switching places with the Shadow Warrior, he saw the Third Raikage, who was severely injured.

That's how the current scene came about.

Even the most meticulous plans can have flaws!

After figuring out the situation, Madara Uchiha actually breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not on him, that's fine.

"Stop talking nonsense! Can you stop causing trouble?! Let me tell you the truth, your crappy plan has no chance of succeeding!" Lu Shi bluntly stated.

Madara Uchiha's eyes narrowed. "How did you know my plan?!"

"Never mind that. All I can tell you is that the purpose of that plan is completely different from what you think!"

"Hmph! Whether it's different or not, I'll see for myself! I don't need you to tell me!"

Madara Uchiha's tone was full of arrogance.

Lu Shi had known this would happen.

He's not Naruto; he doesn't have talk-no-jutsu!

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha was an arrogant and conceited person. He would never have believed it unless he saw it with his own eyes and heard a heartfelt word from him.

He will only firmly believe that he is right!

These kinds of people are the most difficult to deal with!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's start the rematch!" A hint of anticipation flashed in Lu Shi's eyes. Since their last encounter, Lu Shi's strength had improved considerably, and he desperately needed a fighter to train him!

This is not!

Madara Uchiha is here to cause trouble!

"Hmph! Then let's fight!"

Without any probing, Lu Shi vanished from his spot and unleashed a powerful blow.

Madara Uchiha immediately activated Susanoo. He still vividly remembered the time when his Sharingan was sealed, so he naturally wouldn't touch it again this time.

The immense force sent Susanoo sliding backward a distance.

"Such power! It's much stronger than last time. Your strength has improved rapidly!" Uchiha Madara stared intently at Shikatoki.

"Thank you for the compliment! Come out now!"

Shikatoki activated his Shadow Imitation Technique, attempting to pull out Madara Uchiha's shadow. Although he had tried it before, he couldn't attack Madara's main body and could only attack Susanoo.

But it also made Madara Uchiha hesitate to act rashly.

This time, however, the shadow was not pulled out.

This surprised Lu Shi.

Madara Uchiha smiled. "The Hidden Cloud Village's Shadowless Technique seems to be working quite well!"

Shikatoki dodged the Susanoo's attack with a swift turn, glaring at the Third Raikage with hostility. "Look at what your Hidden Cloud Village does with all this stuff!"

"Fine, let them research it! If they can keep it hidden, they can just use it themselves. If this gets out, it'll only cause me trouble!"

The Third Raikage gave an awkward laugh.

Then I felt it was a bit absurd, why should I be embarrassed?

The research on this ninjutsu was originally intended to target Nara Shikatoki.

However, now that Madara Uchiha has learned this ninjutsu, it does seem to be quite a problem!

Onoki seized the opportunity to add insult to injury, saying, "You're more trouble than you're worth!"

"Shut up!"

"Without that bizarre shadow ninjutsu, you're no longer a threat!" Madara Uchiha sneered. "Wood Release: Advent of the Flowering Tree World!"

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

The trees and flowers had barely appeared when they were instantly consumed by the blue flames.

Ordinary flames definitely won't work; the main reason is that Shikatoki's flames are enhanced by both the Two-Tails and Yata yokai, as well as natural energy—"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

"The Peacock's Wonderful Method!"

Natural energy formed a giant dragon, which collided with the wooden dragon.

Ever since he was rendered helpless by Susanoo last time, Shikatoki has been thinking about how to resolve the situation.

In his search for the power of Yin and Yang, he obtained the Peacock Technique.

This is essentially a secret method of creation. Could it be used to create equally massive creations? At least it would prevent him from being so passive.

The fact is, it's possible!

The creations formed by natural energy perfectly offset the problem of insufficient strength in the Peacock Magic.

Blocking the wooden dragon, Shikatoshi charged straight at Uchiha Madara.

With his right hand wielding immense force, his left hand remained hidden behind his back, silently gathering the power of his soul.

"Kid! I admit you've gotten stronger, but that's all."

After being knocked away, Shika's injuries healed quickly. "Then let's just wait it out! You saw my recovery speed, it's amazing. What about you? You're not young anymore! Your chakra isn't much either!"

"I'm younger than you, let's see who can hold out longer!"

Madara Uchiha's expression remained unchanged on the surface.

But he knew that Lu Shi was right.

The reason his body could last so long was mainly due to the special White Zetsu and the constant supply of life force from Hashirama cells, but this was not a long-term solution.

Madara Uchiha never intended to return alive after this trip.

However, there is one goal that must be achieved! The Nara deer must not interfere with my most crucial plan!

"Heh! I am Uchiha Madara! Kid! You're underestimating me!"

"Stubborn!"

Lu Shi pointed to his eyes.

"Although my eyes aren't some kind of bloodline limit, they can still see quite a lot. Your body is nearing its limit, which means that if I can stall this long, I'll win!"

"Then I'll make sure you can't drag this out any longer!"

Madara Uchiha controlled Susanoo to attack.

Shika was about to dodge when he realized that Madara Uchiha's target wasn't him at all; his real targets were Onoki and the Third Raikage underground.

"No way! Can you stop being so shameless! Aren't you Uchiha Madara?!"

There's no way to avoid the deer; you can only take it head-on.

"I don't mind making some sacrifices for my plan."

Madara Uchiha's attacks came like a storm, each one targeting Onoki and the Third Raikage.

Lu Shi came here to prevent them from dying!

At least one of them must survive to prove his innocence.

Otherwise, in the end, you'll end up with mud all over your pants, and even if it's not shit, it'll still look like shit!

"Shikatoki! I can still use Dust Release one more time, seize the opportunity!" Onoki said softly.

The Third Raikage struggled to his feet as well, saying, "I can do it too."

Looking at the two elderly, weak, and disabled people, Lu Shi sighed, "You two should take a break and watch me do the job! Did you really think I wasn't prepared at all?"
