Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 477 Aokiji vs. Madara

"Master Ban, this guy is too dangerous."

A surge of energy appeared beneath Madara Uchiha's feet, giving rise to a black and white humanoid creature that openly and secretly urged Madara to kill Aokiji.

If Pain hadn't contacted him urgently through the ring, Black Zetsu, who was outside following Madara Uchiha, would never have imagined that Aokiji, who had been obsessed with romantic relationships all these years, would lead a group to attack Amegakure. What's even more impressive is that this guy actually killed Obito before they arrived.

This is truly unbelievable.

Black Zetsu noticed that Obito's eyes were bleeding profusely, and he seemed lost in thought. It seemed that Obito's eyes had probably been taken away.

Although Obito underestimated Aokiji and may have overplayed his hand, it also indirectly demonstrated Aokiji's terrifying strength.

"This person looks hostile. Itachi, you should get out of here."

Aokiji glanced sideways, subtly conveying his meaning.

Itachi Uchiha understood immediately, and without showing any emotion, stepped aside.

Madara Uchiha took a few steps toward Aokiji, a meaningful smile on his face: "Finally, we've officially met..."

Aokiji pretended not to understand, his slightly narrowed eyes revealing a hint of doubt: "Judging from your tone, it seems like you've known me for a long time, and..."

Seemingly noticing the cracks on Madara Uchiha's face, he asked knowingly, "Impure World Reincarnation? Who resurrected you?"

"Who knows?"

Madara Uchiha's identity is ambiguous.

Because of Madara Uchiha's sudden arrival, the others also briefly stopped fighting and turned their attention to him.

Payne stared intently, realizing that the situation was becoming increasingly complex and beyond his control.

I thought that masked man could hold out for a while, but I never expected that Aokiji would seize the opportunity and kill him instantly.

As a result, a real Uchiha Madara suddenly appeared afterward, and it seems that someone had resurrected him using Edo Tensei.

In other words, is there someone behind Madara Uchiha?

The masked man, Madara Uchiha, and the reanimated Madara Uchiha.

This series of events, one after another, begs the question: what secrets lie behind it all?

Let him observe for a while longer, but before that, we need to get rid of these annoying flies.

Payne averted his gaze, focusing more of his attention on the surrounding enemies.

On the other side, the tailed beasts didn't stop much, continuing to fight, because a wooden dragon was controlling them, and the outcome was basically decided.

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the Human Path and the Hell Path had no choice but to release their Tailed Beast forms. If they continued to be sucked down by the Wood Dragon, they would become weaker and weaker.

Madara Uchiha noticed the wooden dragon at the scene, a slight surprise appearing in his eyes: "Wood Release, this is truly astonishing..."

In his memory, Tsunade shouldn't know Wood Release, so it seems she deliberately hid this ability.

He had many questions about Aokiji, but none of them mattered anymore. Once he killed Aokiji, he would have plenty of opportunities to ask him questions later.

Madara Uchiha's narrowed eyes flashed with killing intent, like a lion about to pounce on its prey: "I'm rarely surprised, but this time, you've truly given me a surprise."

"Then you'd better watch out, I have another surprise for you."

Aokiji released visible chakra, causing the ground beneath his feet to collapse and crack.

To be honest, he didn't really want to fight, but if he retreated now, Madara Uchiha might choose to sacrifice Nagato to revive himself and replace his original eyes.

When Madara Uchiha is fully resurrected, he will be able to use the Limbo eye technique.

They didn't have the Rinnegan or Six Paths Mode, and even combined, they weren't enough to defeat Madara Uchiha alone.

Seeing Aokiji's fighting spirit, the Uchiha smiled with pleasure: "Ready to dance, huh...?"

"He was once known as the strongest ninja of the Uchiha clan. Today, I, his junior, will have to learn a thing or two from him."

Aokiji formed hand seals, and blue flames ignited behind him, spreading outwards, condensing into ice, and landing as a human.

Ice clone.

It wasn't over yet. The main body straightened up, and a ball of blue flame floated on the palm of the hand, burning fiercely and emitting a cold, chilling aura.

Madara Uchiha stared intently, thinking to himself that this flame was extraordinary, emitting not high temperature, but low temperature.

"interesting……"

This piqued Madara Uchiha's interest. He formed a triangular hand seal, gathered chakra in his throat, and unleashed a burst of flames in a fan shape. The flames exploded upon landing, creating an exaggerated range that swept towards them with overwhelming force.

Not far away, Fugaku stared in astonishment at the sight of this fire-style ninjutsu.

He recognized this move as the "Extinguishing Flames," and although he also knew it, the two were not comparable in power.

On the other hand.

With a flick of his wrist, Aokiji unleashed a burst of blue flames that landed on the ground, surged upwards, and then spread forward in a column-like pattern.

Eight wine cups.

Two powerful flames collided, producing a thick cloud of white mist.

In the mist, two large shadows chased each other with lightning speed, colliding and separating repeatedly.

"Your physical skills are quite good..."

After a brief exchange, Madara Uchiha concluded that blue chakra, like flowing flames, formed ribs, and with a hair's breadth, a fist connected to the skeleton clenched into a hammer and slashed down vertically.

Aokiji neither dodged nor evaded. With a thought, the dazzling patterns behind him floated to the top of his head, transforming into an arc to meet Susanoo's fist head-on.

Madara Uchiha's red eyes narrowed; this was the first time he had ever seen this type of ninjutsu.

With fluent dissection and enhanced eye power, Susanoo takes another step forward, evolving from a skeletal form into a flesh and blood form, and its power increases exponentially.

Aokiji thought to himself, "Such a quick reaction."

Madara Uchiha's mastery of Susanoo far surpassed that of Obito.

The essence of the chakra pattern is still ice, and it is still somewhat inferior to the chakra formed by Susanoo.

With a "crack," the semi-circular shield formed by the aura immediately showed signs of cracking, and in less than half a moment, the hammer-shattered aura rushed straight in.

Aokiji stepped back with his right foot, twisted his waist and hips, lifted both legs off the ground, and spun sideways in mid-air, barely avoiding the attack.

Madara Uchiha pressed his advantage relentlessly, his blue Susanoo unleashing a torrent of fire that lashed out like blades before solidifying into a real weapon, its blade curving like a snake, resembling a Malay sword.

Darkness descended from above, and Aokiji raised his head, his blue Malay sword cleaving through the sky with astonishing force.

"Old man, don't be so arrogant."

Aokiji gathered his chakra, his eyes narrowed, and a flame ignited in the void around them.

Madara Uchiha frowned.

The blue Malay sword held him back, leaving him suspended in mid-air, motionless, or more accurately, held in place by his hand.

As the hand continued to spread, a burly blue figure emerged, instantly solidifying into a majestic and imposing figure with a murderous expression.

The moment the Soul Flame appeared, it instantly turned the tide. Grabbing the Malay sword with both hands, it spun around and flung the sword and Susanoo away.

"Click-clack click-clack..."

Susanoo landed and kept retreating, shoveling up large amounts of soil and billowing smoke.

Madara Uchiha, despite being at a slight disadvantage, became even more excited, laughing like a battle maniac: "This is really interesting, unleash whatever other abilities you have!"

The half-body Susanoo responded, flames ignited beneath its feet, and it rose from the ground, its size comparable to the Soul Fire, its head empty yet its eyes gleaming with boundless fighting spirit.

Aokiji leaped into the air and landed on the shoulder of the Soul Flame.

In the standoff, the blue Susanoo took the initiative, raising its sword and bringing it down. The azure sword light shone like a comet, with a magnificent momentum that cleaved through the wind and split the earth.

Soulfire crossed his arms to block.

The powerful sword energy was incredibly strong, and even the Soul Fire struggled to withstand its edge. It pushed backward, shoveling stones as it flew through the air, and propelled itself forward.

The blue Susanoo intended to unleash a new sword aura, but as soon as it raised its hand, a dazzling pattern erupted around it, bursting forth with flowing flames. In mid-air, these flames swirled and intertwined, twisting into visible ice chains that bound and restrained the Susanoo's movements.
