I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 415 Ice Prison!

Chakra surged.

At this moment, the ocular power originating from Uchiha Hikaru, flowing through Nagato's Rinnegan, once again unleashed countless streams of green light, which entered Madara's body. This caused Madara's body to break free from its cracked, impure state, transforming into a true flesh and blood form…

It was as if the scene from just moments ago was repeating itself.

The long-awaited resurrection has finally come true, but Madara feels no joy at all.

because……

Throughout, Uchiha Hikaru's attitude was nonchalant, as if nothing mattered. Even if he successfully regained his peak power and retrieved the Rinnegan symbolizing "all things in the universe," it would be no different for this girl from his current Edo Tensei state; she could destroy him with a flick of her finger.

This is most likely not an illusion.

After witnessing the miracle of "time reversal," Madara had already realized that his proud "prime period" was probably nothing compared to Uchiha Hikaru. However, his long-standing arrogance made him subconsciously unwilling to admit this.

It all happened in just a short moment.

Madara has completely returned to his former form, and his power has been greatly enhanced as a result. However, his eye sockets have turned completely black—this was his state during the last period of his life.

Ban tried again to break free of the spatial confinement imposed on him, but remained motionless.

the other side.

Uchiha Hikaru released his hand from Nagato's shoulder, and as the latter gasped for breath, he used his fingers like a knife to gouge out the Rinnegan from Nagato's eye socket. Then, he casually tossed a Senzu Bean into Nagato's mouth.

—This guy may be a bit extreme in his personality, but he's still a promising talent. It would be a waste for him to die here like this. We should take him back to help our senior, Minato, build a new ninja world.

"?"

He swallowed a magic bean.

Fresh granulation tissue began to wriggle within Nagato's bleeding eye sockets. His optic nerve, cornea, and pupils were regenerating at a visible speed, and he recovered completely in a short period of time.

—It truly is restored to its "original" state. Because what appears in Nagato's eye sockets now are his own eyes, the eyes that were not yet transplanted into Rinnegan's eyes.

This miraculous change once again shocked Konan and Black Zetsu, who were present. The latter immediately thought of a possibility:

"This level of regenerative power... is it Hagoromo's 'Yang Power'? She inherited Hagoromo's legacy?! No, no, it seems different..."

While Black Zetsu was filled with doubt.

Uchiha Hikaru had already arrived in front of Madara. He stood on tiptoe and gently pressed down, stuffing the Rinnegan back into the guy's eye socket.

This time, before she could even use medical ninjutsu, Madara's eye sockets automatically began to fuse with those eyes, and optic nerves grew rapidly...

"Good heavens, no wonder it's a reusable Sharingan..."

This self-healing effect that doesn't require hand seals is probably due to the Hashirama cells.

Uchiha Hikaru clicked his tongue twice, took a few steps back, snapped his fingers to release the restraints placed on Madara, and then turned to look at Esdeath:

"It's up to you, Xiao Ai."

"Although this guy's 'qi' is a bit weak, the abilities of his eyes are quite flashy and should bring you some surprises."

"yes……"

Hearing Uchiha Hikaru's words, Esdeath smiled faintly, then turned her gaze to Madara, making a wrist-cracking gesture: "To receive such praise from Hikaru, you must be a worthy opponent. Let me see what you're made of..."

As they were talking.

A chilling aura rose from around Esdeath, swirling and changing the color of the clouds high in the sky.

Then, Esdeath took a step and transformed into a white lightning bolt, shooting towards Madara!

boom--!!

With a deafening roar like Mars colliding with Earth, two figures were sent flying backward one after the other, crashing into the towering hills behind them!

In a short time.

The earth shook violently!

……

As it turns out, Uchiha Hikaru overestimated Madara's strength.

If this guy were in his Six Paths Madara form, having absorbed the power of the Ten-Tails, the outcome of this battle might be hard to predict. Esdeath might even have a significant chance of losing to him. However... Madara with the Rinnegan is at most on par with Hashirama in his previous life. Facing Esdeath, who trained on Namek, it would be difficult for him to mount an effective attack.

The towering, deep blue Susanoo, resembling a small mountain, was completely countered by the "Ice Demon."

Both "Heavenly Obstruction Star" and "Earthly Explosion Star" were shattered by Esdeath's punches.

Even the most mysterious and invisible "Limbo: Border Jail" was vaguely perceived by Esdeath after a brief moment of astonishment, thanks to her intuition and perception of "ki," causing Madara's several sneak attacks to all end in failure.

On the contrary, Esdeath's attacks were difficult for Madara to withstand on several occasions, and he could only barely hold on by relying on the regenerative power of Hashirama's cells.

After figuring out all of Madara's attack patterns.

Esdeath finally stood still, and with a slight lift of her arm, a massive amount of ice and snow shot up from behind her, forming the image of an ice and snow giant that almost spanned the heavens and the earth. Then, she swung her sword down towards Madara opposite her!

"This move is called..."

"Ice, Hell!"

call--!!

Another fierce blizzard struck.

But this time, the snowstorm was as turbulent as a tidal wave, crashing towards Madara Uchiha on the opposite side like a raging storm. In just an instant, it turned the entire surrounding world into a vast expanse of white! Even though Madara immediately activated his Susanoo, he was quickly enveloped and frozen by this overwhelming cold air... and finally turned into a huge block of ice standing in the wilderness.

Do not……

To be precise, it's no longer a wilderness.

Under Esdeath's "Ice Prison" technique, the area within dozens of miles around was transformed into a world of ice sculptures and snow in a short moment, like the ice fields of the North and South Poles, or like the "Frozen Hell" from mythology descending!

"it's over."

It was around the same time that the curtain fell on Esdeath's side.

this side.

Uchiha Hikaru withdrew her gaze from the battlefield, stretched, and calmly swept her eyes over Nagato, Konan, and the others in turn before finally fixing her gaze on Black Zetsu. With a wave of her hand, she detached him, rolled him into a small black Yin Release ball, and placed him half a meter in front of her palm.

"As expected, it looks ugly no matter how you look at it."

"However, considering your filial piety that has lasted for a thousand years, let's chat for a bit, Mr. Black Zetsu. Or... should I call you 'Kaguya's third son'?"
