Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 479 Susanoo rides the tailed beast

Tsunade's almond-shaped eyes widened. Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked when she saw this scene.

The person standing in the coffin was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, long, smooth black hair, a Konoha-style headband, and wearing the same red layered armor as Uchiha Madara.

Standing before her was the First Hokage, her grandfather, Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju regained consciousness, still somewhat dazed after being summoned. Noticing the broken walls and ruins around him, and the person standing next to him, his expression darkened: "Madara..."

Madara Uchiha chuckled, "Don't be so angry. I'm doing this so you can meet your granddaughter."

"W-what...?"

Hashirama Senju was taken aback.

"grandfather……"

Hashirama Senju looked in the direction of the sound and saw Tsunade covering her mouth in shock. He was stunned for a moment, but seeing his grown-up granddaughter made him temporarily forget the situation before him, and he revealed a hearty smile: "Haha, she's grown so big."

But then he suddenly remembered something, his eyes dimmed, and he blamed himself: "I'm sorry, I'm so useless, I might cause you trouble from now on."

Madara Uchiha deliberately handed her over; it was impossible for him to simply be kind enough to allow the grandmother and granddaughter to recognize each other.

"Each generation has its own tasks; now it's our turn."

Tsunade smiled reassuringly, glancing sideways at him; her clear eyes revealed trust.

Following the gaze, Hashirama Senju noticed the white-haired young man standing next to Tsunade, whose blood-red eyes had special patterns, resembling snowflakes.

This eye pattern isn't your average Sharingan; it's a Mangekyou Sharingan...

"I see, so you're Tsunade's..."

After a brief moment of surprise, Hashirama Senju, judging from the devastation around him, chuckled and said, "You're really something, managing to keep Madara at bay for this long."

Madara wouldn't use the Rinnegan for no reason; it's clearly related to Aokiji in front of him.

"To receive praise from the God of Ninjas is truly a great honor for me," Aokiji said with a smile.

Hashirama Senju asked gossipily, "How did you and Tsuna meet?"

"Back when I was at the ninja academy..."

Hashirama Senju smiled with satisfaction, "Childhood sweethearts, that's wonderful..."

Just as he was having a pleasant conversation with Aokiji, an untimely voice rang out: "Alright, that's enough about our touching reunion."

"spot……"

Hashirama Senju's face darkened, as if he was about to say something, but his body began to move involuntarily. He clasped his hands together in a hand seal, and the massive amount of chakra caused the ground to crack open, with thick vines rising from the ground.

Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees

The ever-growing tree roots, simplifying their complex structure, all surged out in one direction like a burst dam.

Such speed...

Aokiji's black flames flowed and transformed into Susanoo, enveloping Aokiji and Tsunade as they dealt with the massive tree roots that were entangling them.

Madara Uchiha formed hand seals and unleashed a massive sea of ​​fire that engulfed Susanoo and the trees in flames.

"Haha, it's really enjoyable to team up with you."

Madara Uchiha let out an excited sound.

Hashirama Senju involuntarily continued to cooperate, pressing his palms together even tighter. More tree roots surged from the ground, twisting and turning wildly, rushing towards one place from the four directions of east, west, south, and north. In the blink of an eye, Susanoo was completely enveloped by the thick tree roots.

Madara Uchiha used even more chakra in the Great Fire Annihilation technique, further intensifying the flames, making them surge and roar.

With a deafening roar, the black giant leaped out, a black chakra sword materializing in his hand as he slashed forward.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju jumped away in opposite directions.

A flash of black light appeared, carving out a deep trench.

Madara Uchiha summoned Susanoo, created a blue Malay sword in his hand, and swung it down.

Aokiji retaliated in the same way.

As weapons clashed, a mixture of black and blue chakra splattered outwards.

The battle intensified, drawing more and more attention. The people of Konoha thought to themselves that they couldn't possibly get involved in a fight of this magnitude.

Meanwhile, the villagers of Amegakure looked extremely grim. The more intense the battle between Aokiji and Madara Uchiha became, the more difficult it would be to recover afterward.

Wait, did they have a post-war period?

If the fighting continues like this, the village will be completely destroyed.

Nagato, who was behind Payne, cursed inwardly. These two guys, when they started fighting, could easily cause devastation to the village.

But he couldn't step forward to stop him, so he could only hope that Madara Uchiha would quickly take care of Aokiji.

Then, he connected with the real Uchiha Madara and asked him for his next instructions.

While the two Susanoo were locked in fierce combat, Hashirama Senju, not wanting to be left out, summoned a wooden dragon to join the battle.

If the Wood Dragon had joined the battle, the situation would have turned around instantly. Fortunately, the Five-Tailed and Six-Tailed arrived in time.

"I won't let you pass."

First, the Five-Tails knocked the Wood Dragon away, then the Six-Tails bit the Wood Dragon, but the result was the opposite; instead, the Wood Dragon entangled the Six-Tails and absorbed its chakra.

Six-Tails was in agony. He never expected that his wooden dragon companion would become his enemy in the blink of an eye. He had experienced firsthand the pain that the three others and Seven-Tails had suffered when they were suppressed to death by the wooden dragon.

Aokiji glanced at her and, seeing that things weren't going well, quickly sent Tsunade over to help, and also asked her to call the Five-Tails over.

Tsunade left Susanoo's body and summoned the summoning beast, Kusuri, in mid-air, which pounced on the Wood Dragon. Kusuri possessed Sage Chakra, which the Wood Dragon's absorption was ineffective against.

Meanwhile, while the two Susanoo were locked in a standoff, the Five-Tails launched a sneak attack from behind, using its horn to knock the Susanoo away.

The blue Susanoo steadied itself, and the five-tailed beast pounced again, but this time it was riding a Susanoo, looking like a charging knight.

This fighting style surprised even Madara Uchiha.

The blue giant leaped and dodged with agility befitting his enormous size.

Aokiji used ice to create an ice bow for Susanoo. When necessary, his bloodline limit can also retain its resilience, allowing him to nock an arrow, release it, and shoot it with the speed and power of chasing clouds and lightning.

Madara Uchiha tracked the trajectory of the arrow, crossed two Malay swords in front of his chest, and blocked the arrow's trajectory.

The ice arrows that struck the Malay sword did not stop falling as expected. Instead, they turned into a ball of blue flame that spread across the sword, causing the temperature to drop sharply and leaving frost marks wherever they passed.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes and analyzed the situation carefully. If he were hit by this ice arrow, that area would become as fragile as if it had been frozen solid.

The blue giant strode forward, moving swiftly like the wind, with ice arrows following closely behind, each one missing its mark.

The black giant, riding the Five-Tails, closed the distance to the blue giant. With a flick of his hand, he turned arrows into spears, and the Five-Tails beneath him emitted surging chakra, transforming from ethereal to tangible, billowing steam.

It was poised to strike, then suddenly accelerated, its trajectory shooting out like a black and white comet.

So fast!

Madara Uchiha's eyes widened; this was an imminent disaster, one he couldn't escape.

The spear tip struck with fierce force, and with the acceleration from the Five-Tails beneath him, this attack was absolutely domineering. Even Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, which was as powerful as it was, could not withstand its edge. The ice spear deflected the Malay sword and pierced through the chest.

The blue giant shot into the sky like a cannonball. Before the momentum subsided, his body was torn to pieces, his ribs cracked and scattered, demonstrating just how ferocious the attack was.

In mid-air, Madara Uchiha grinned: "Your pet training is pretty good, huh? Well then, I'll show you some real skills too."

It would be very difficult to injure Madara Uchiha inside. Aokiji knew this clearly, so he did not press his advantage. Instead, he took out a special shuriken from his pocket, which was engraved with special patterns. This was the mark of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Itachi, do it!
