Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 482 Soul Fire Set Susanoo

"This is……"

In mid-air, Aokiji's pupils dilated. In his astonishment, a huge black shadow loomed over him from the side. Looking to the side, he saw that it was a gigantic hand.

With a snap, the Five-Tails was sent flying.

"Haha...this feels really good." Madara Uchiha laughed excitedly, then asked Hashirama beside him for his opinion: "Right, Hasurama..."

The Impure World Reincarnation preserved his consciousness from his previous life. His brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but feel worried for Aokiji: "Aokiji, run! You're no match for us now."

Aokiji is strong enough now. He could win against either of them individually, but he has no chance of winning against both of them at once.

The fact that a casual strike just now shattered the armor of the Five-Tails, which was clad in Susanoo, is the best proof of that.

Not to mention, there's still a wooden figure clad in Susanoo armor that hasn't made a move yet.

Hearing this, Aokiji gave a wry smile; he did want to run away.

The problem is, once they run away, they'll be even less likely to win.

If we don't take down Madara Uchiha now, once he's truly resurrected and gets back the Rinnegan, without the power of the Six Paths, we're all just trash.

The Five-Tails is very fast, and if they continue fighting in this way, Madara Uchiha feels that it will take too much time. He is an Edo Tensei with infinite chakra, and he could wear down Aokiji by sheer force, but this does not fit his fighting style.

"Oh, right, there's also this technique."

Madara Uchiha remembered something, and with a thought, numerous wooden hands emerged from the ground. Because they came from underground, their horns were very cunning, grabbing the Five-Tails that was running and immobilizing it.

Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique

With a flick of its hand on its shoulder, the Five-Tailed Fox unleashed a black sword beam that swept across all directions, slicing through the wooden hands of everyone surrounding it.

The Five-Tails slowed down, giving the Wooden Buddha an opportunity. All the remaining wooden hands behind it blasted out at once, locking onto the target.

Flower Buddha on Top

After a barrage of attacks, even the mighty Five-Tails had its Susanoo armor stripped away.

That wasn't all. The wooden Buddha broke free from the obstructing barrier behind him, strode forward, approached its target, leaned forward, and stretched out its huge palm to press down on the five tails like chicks.

Wuwei roared and tried to break free, but Mu Buddha's strength was too great and he couldn't break free at all.

At the same time, Hashirama Senju stretched out his hand, and the word "seat" appeared in black characters on his palm. The wooden Buddha, wearing Susanoo armor, followed in his footsteps and pressed down.

Kuo An entered the palace with his hands hanging down.

As the giant hand enveloped him, Aokiji, no longer caring about the Five-Tails, jumped to the side.

A giant hand pressed down on the Five-Tails' head, and an overwhelming drowsiness instantly washed over it, causing its eyelids to droop slowly and heavily: "I'm sorry, Aokiji..."

After saying that, he immediately fell into a deep coma.

"Looks like this is the end of it."

Madara Uchiha glanced sideways; without the Five-Tails' blessing, it was obvious who the scales of victory would tip in their favor.

Aokiji: ...

"To be honest, this fight was unfair to you."

Perhaps it was out of interest, or perhaps it was a desire to resolve the trouble quickly, but it cannot be denied that Madara Uchiha called in reinforcements when he fought Aokiji, and a very strong one at that, making the victory unfair.

"The weak always find excuses for their failures, but they themselves are the best excuses."

Aokiji wasn't saying this to show off or be stubborn, but to make Madara Uchiha appreciate him so that he could later deceive the guy.

Aokiji has given up hope of defeating Madara Uchiha, at least for now.

As he expected, Madara Uchiha's eyes were full of admiration, and he smiled with pleasure: "I really like you more and more for being able to say such things."

"Sorry, I don't like men," Aokiji said with a look of disgust. "Besides, I have a wife."

Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and then a resolute look appeared in his eyes: "As a reward for pleasing me, I will kill you with this one blow."

The wooden figure clad in Susanoo responded to its master's command, slowly drawing the sword from its waist, raising it above its head, intending to strike.

Under the immense shadow, Aokiji exhaled a breath of stale air. It seemed there was no other way but to resort to this move...

Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred behind the armored wooden figure. When the smoke cleared, there was no sign of injury. Turning around, one could see a giant live slug with six tails.

It has six tails.

At that moment, Tsunade arrived at Aokiji's side, a fluorescent green light appearing in her palm to heal him: "Are you alright...?"

Aokiji's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said, "What do you mean I'm fine? What are you doing here?"

Tsunade's bright eyes shimmered with worry: "I'm worried about you."

"Don't you know it's dangerous here?" Aokiji asked, equally worried. "Didn't you go to safety?"

Tsunade looked aggrieved; "But I was just worried about you."

"..."

Aokiji covered his head, feeling that this topic was impossible to discuss.

But never mind, with Tsunade around, he can use this next move much more easily.

Madara Uchiha, seeing the Six-Tails interrupting his pleasant mood, didn't get angry but laughed instead: "You've come at the perfect time."

With palms joined together in a mudra, after a moment of preparation, the three black spheres flew out as the palms separated, drifting into the air and generating an extremely powerful suction force. The ground was uprooted, and soil and rocks crumbled and floated into the air.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the armored wooden golem and charged directly in front of the Six-Tails, knocking it to the ground with a punch to avenge the sneak attack. He then grabbed the Six-Tails' tail and swung it around with immense strength, directly throwing it towards the black ball in the air.

In mid-air, Tsunade, standing on the rocks, cried out, "Damn it, what kind of ninjutsu is this now?"

"Don't panic. We'll treat the black ball that Madara just threw as the core. All we need to do is destroy it. The two of us can break this ninjutsu by simultaneously attacking the central part with powerful long-range ninjutsu. No matter what kind of ninjutsu it is, it must have a corresponding weakness."

Aokiji reassured Tsunade while providing an explanation.

The two worked in perfect harmony, simultaneously forming hand seals and unleashing a massive ice dragon with wings on its back. This dragon crashed into the Earth Explosion Star, freezing it into an ice ball.

Tsunade stepped on the stone, pushed off with her feet, and soared into the sky.

With a soft cry, she threw a punch, shattering the ice ball into countless pieces, and a large number of ice blocks fell down with Tsunade.

Aokiji summoned his soul fire to catch the falling Tsunade in his palm, then crossed his legs and landed on the ground.

On the other hand, the Five-Tails and Six-Tails fared much worse, being sealed directly inside the Planetary Devastation.

Madara Uchiha smirked. He had expected that this level of technique wouldn't be enough to deal with Aokiji. After all, this technique was originally designed to capture the Five-Tails and the Six-Tails.

Looking up at the planet Chibaku Tensei floating in the sky, Tsunade bit her lower lip. She bore some responsibility for the capture of the Six-Tails.

Madara Uchiha calmly and meticulously analyzed Aokiji's moves, praising him generously: "You analyzed the weaknesses of this technique in an instant. Well done! You are indeed worthy of being the person I chose in the past."

"Selected?"

Tsunade didn't quite understand these words and was completely confused. Madara Uchiha and Aokiji were so different in age, what was the connection?

Seeing Tsunade's puzzled look, and knowing there was no need to hide anything anymore, Madara Uchiha smiled and confessed everything he had done.

Tsunade was almost dumbfounded after hearing this. If what Madara Uchiha said was true, then in a sense, this guy had also brought her and Aokiji together.

Aokiji suddenly asked, "Now that you know the truth, do you regret it?"

Tsunade shook her head, her bright eyes reflecting unwavering determination: "Even if there was an element of manipulation involved, the feelings we have for each other are genuine. You, on the other hand, are far too calm."

I already knew...

Aokiji shrugged and laughed, "I think the same thing as you."

Hashirama was increasingly unable to understand Madara's actions. What was he trying to achieve by going to all this trouble? "Madara, what is your purpose in going to all this trouble?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Madara Uchiha left us in suspense, saying that once he dealt with Aokiji and retrieved the eyes from Nagato, he could collect all the remaining tailed beasts at once.

Hashirama: ...

Madara Uchiha's smile gradually faded, replaced by a growing chill: "Alright, that's enough for the entertainment. Show us what else you've got, or you'll miss your chance."

Aokiji snorted coldly, "You don't need to tell me."

After saying that, he asked Tsunade to give him all the chakra inside the Yin Seal.

Tsunade trusted Aokiji completely and unconditionally, without asking any questions, and simply carried out his orders. She went around behind Aokiji, placed her hands on his shoulders, and transferred all the chakra in her body to him.

Aokiji felt his chakra surging continuously within him, so he raised his arm, clenched his fist, and concentrated his chakra.

The soul fire beneath his feet began to change, and his thin body underwent a dramatic transformation. His physique became as if he had taken hormones, growing stronger and larger. The most obvious changes were his thickening neck and his expanding chest, which took on an inverted triangle shape.

The original Soulfire had a slender build, but now Soulfire's physique is undoubtedly that of a muscular man like Schwarzenegger.

"This is……"

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, slightly surprised to see the Soul Flame in this state. He wondered if this thing, like Susanoo, had the potential to grow and was only now showing its true form.

Aokiji coldly replied, "It's not over yet."

The fully formed Soul Flame body was draped in the black armor of Susanoo, instantly exuding a majestic and domineering aura.
