Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 478 The First Hokage

Chains of Ice.

Aokiji rushed forward, clenching his fist and locking it from a distance.

Madara Uchiha glanced at it coldly, his understanding crystal clear. "So that's it, this type of ninjutsu..."

This blue flame possesses both the defensive power of Ice Release and the transformation capabilities of Water Release, suggesting that Aokiji has evolved his Ice Release to the level of Kekkei Tota.

Honestly, it's a bit of a waste to kill someone with such talent...

But when faced with his sense of righteousness, everything else had to give way.

Madara Uchiha lowered his arms, releasing a surge of chakra.

Susanoo received a sea of ​​chakra from Madara Uchiha. Its body trembled, and its power increased further. With the pull of the ice chains, it slowly raised its hands above its head, ready to unleash its power.

Madara Uchiha raised his arm and made a powerful grip on the void.

The power gathered by Susanoo surged forth, its arms crossed, tearing off the ice chains binding its body.

At the same time, as the cold current surged, Aokiji's power was fully accumulated, and Aurora's Forgiveness shot out, slamming into Susanoo.

The traces of frost spread from Susanoo's chest to its entire body, and in the blink of an eye, the enormous Susanoo turned into an ice sculpture.

Aokiji, fueled by the flames of his soul, sped forward and reached out to stab.

His soul fire can directly attack the soul, and he could kill Madara Uchiha even without sealing techniques.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, his cold expression unwavering, and further enhanced his eye power, just about to drape the Karasu Tengu Armor over Susanoo.

"Boom!" The Susanoo, frozen into ice, shattered like a mirror.

Madara Uchiha turned his head, and a blonde woman came into view, a brief look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Susanoo was extremely vulnerable because it had been frozen, so it was destroyed with a single punch...

However, he was more curious about how Tsunade had managed to get behind him.

Was it because he was too engrossed in fighting Aokiji?

However, he quickly refuted this argument, explaining that Tsunade was able to get behind him simply because this body was an Edo Tensei, and her strength was not as great as when she was alive.

Thinking about this, Madara Uchiha felt somewhat displeased.

It seems we need to get Nagato to revive us as soon as possible...

With a bang, Uchiha Madara was blasted away by Tsunade's punch.

While Aokiji was fighting Madara Uchiha, Tsunade had already dealt with the Human Path and Hell Path, and was now coming to help Aokiji.

Seeing Madara Uchiha flying towards him, Aokiji seized the opportunity and used his soul fire to grab him forcefully.

"Click-clack..."

Aokiji frowned and tried to grab Madara Uchiha, but failed.

Madara Uchiha smiled slightly, and the first stage of Susanoo materialized around his body.

The Soul Flame intensified its power, crushing the object directly, but this brief moment was enough for Madara Uchiha to break free from the Soul Flame's control.

Tsunade seized the opportunity, leaping above Madara Uchiha's escape route, clasping her hands together, and delivering a devastating blow to Madara Uchiha from above.

Following the direction in which Madara Uchiha fell, Aokiji braced his right foot on the shoulder of Soul Flame and launched himself into a dive. The chakra patterns gathered behind him, and his entire body burst into blue flames. Chakra flowed through his meridians and limbs.

"Soaring, soaring..."

Blue flames surged and roared along the lines of his palm, eventually coalescing into a gigantic flaming palm that descended from the sky like a comet, its trail of cold light trailing behind it.

Super Ice Soul Palm

Madara Uchiha slammed his back into the ground, causing it to crack. As soon as the smoke rose, an unparalleled chill followed, forcing the smoke away.

Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted; this move was extraordinary.

At this distance, there is only enough time to unleash the first stage of Susanoo, but once this move is used, the chilling energy will directly penetrate the body, freezing the user into an ice sculpture.

There's no other way...

Madara Uchiha raised his head and arm to retaliate, his scarlet eyes rippling slightly, like calm water being splashed into a pool of water, creating ripples.

Aokiji was taken aback. Before he could think further, their palms met. But the moment they made contact, an extremely strong repulsive force burst forth from their palms.

Aokiji's plan failed, and he let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

After a while, he sprang to his feet, cracks appearing on his face and blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. His ice armor had been almost completely destroyed by the attack.

Out of concern, Tsunade rushed over to check his injuries: "Aokiji, are you alright?"

A shadow fell over Aokiji, his face grim: "Shinra Tensei..."

Madara Uchiha's combat awareness is indeed different from that of Nagato, who was just born with divine equipment.

If he had absorbed it with chakra at that time, the Ice Soul Palm, which contained natural energy, could have directly frozen Madara Uchiha into an ice sculpture.

"What a pity..."

Madara Uchiha switched to the Rinnegan, a slight smirk playing on his lips, his face radiating an air of complete composure.

Tsunade noticed Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan and looked surprised, but quickly calmed down.

Aokiji had told Tsunade about the ultimate goal of the Sharingan, murmuring, "As expected, you fought with Grandpa back then to awaken the Rinnegan."

Madara Uchiha overheard this and was taken aback. He focused his gaze, setting aside the battle for the moment, and asked with some surprise, "Judging from your tone, it sounds like someone has told you something like this..."

Tsunade realized she might have said something inappropriate and fell silent.

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, his gaze falling on Aokiji: "Did you tell her that?"

Aokiji shrugged, not denying it: "You guessed pretty accurately."

Madara Uchiha gave Aokiji a deep look: "How did you know?"

Aokiji casually replied, "Guess."

"Guess?"

"There must be a reason behind everything, right?" Aokiji laughed. "Back then, your sudden attack on the village was strange in itself."

"..."

Aokiji analyzed: "You're the one who instigated Obito's backing, aren't you?"

Madara Uchiha smiled and readily admitted, "Unlike Obito, you are very smart."

Aokiji, without much hope, casually replied, "What's your purpose in encouraging Obito?"

"You're so smart, you should be able to draw your own conclusion."

Madara Uchiha wasn't planning to tell Aokiji directly yet: "Of course, that's assuming you survive."

"This is such a hassle..."

Aokiji frowned. The ice clone he had just sent to assassinate Nagato and Itachi Uchiha had failed.

In his plan, killing Nagato, taking the Rinnegan, and then walking away was Plan A, which was also the most perfect solution.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Obito arrived, so they had to execute Plan B: kill Obito first, then kill Nagato.

Unexpectedly, after killing Obito, Madara Uchiha arrived, leaving him with no choice but to execute Plan C: he dragged Madara Uchiha along while his clones and Itachi went to kill Nagato.

Unfortunately, things didn't go well, and Plan C also fell through. Nagato had a backup plan; his leg injury was slightly different from the original story, and it's unclear how it was cured. Over the years, he had been pretending to be disabled to guard against Obito.

No wonder he wasn't flustered or dissatisfied when facing me just now.

Aokiji glanced at Black Zetsu without revealing his expression. Since Plan C wouldn't work, they would proceed with Plan D. If Plan D still wouldn't work, then they would have to proceed with Plan E...

Madara Uchiha's gaze fell on Tsunade: "You just used Wood Release, didn't you?"

"So what if it is?"

Tsunade doesn't have a good temper with the guy who injured her man.

"Let me show you something interesting."

On a whim, Madara Uchiha clapped his hands, and a coffin appeared in front of him with the character "一" (one) written on it. With a creak, the coffin opened, revealing a person standing inside.
