Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 484 I can't beat them, I really can't beat them, I'm outta here...

Aokiji screamed in pain and instinctively covered his bleeding eyes.

In the past, Aokiji could use the Mangekyou Sharingan at will, which was due to various buffs that minimized the side effects. He could also gradually restore his eyes to their best condition through recuperation.

However, in this battle, the use of the complete Susanoo alone was already considered overloaded. In addition, the use of the complete Soul Fire was also employed. With the two skills stacked together, it was already quite good that the side effects in the eyes did not appear until they did.

After this battle, if Aokiji's eyes don't reach the Eternal level, this side effect will likely haunt him for life.

"boom."

The fireballs fell, collided, and erupted in a massive explosion, billowing thick smoke.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his gaze and looked down. Within the dispersing smoke, there was an unknown monster, whose overall outline resembled a lizard and had wings on its back.

Its size is comparable to that of a tailed beast. It is deep blue all over, covered with ice crystal-like substances, and has a long ice horn on its head, making it look extremely domineering.

This is a giant ice dragon.

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

Based on his appearance, Madara Uchiha deduced that it was Aokiji who used this ability.

However, he only saw Tsunade and Hashirama being protected by the ice dragon, and did not see Aokiji himself.

Furthermore, he sensed Aokiji's chakra emanating from the ice dragon.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, as if he understood something, and suddenly burst into laughter: "So that's how it is. No wonder you possess such a massive amount of chakra. You truly are a monster."

The ice dragon narrowed its crimson eyes, opened its mouth wide, and held a stream of blue light within. After a moment of preparation, it spewed it forth.

Madara Uchiha neither dodged nor evaded, floating in the air and taking the hit head-on from the ice bullets. After the booming sound, ice mist spread out and rippled outwards, but Susanoo in its Fire God form was completely unharmed.

"It seems they're at their last gasp."

Madara Uchiha shook his head regretfully, then paused, stunned.

He thought the pheasant was flapping its wings to fight him to the death, but instead it turned around and frantically flapped its wings to escape.

"Don't even think about running away."

Madara Uchiha adopted a cat-and-mouse mentality, chasing after the mouse and occasionally spitting fireballs along the way.

"left."

Tsunade, who was lying on the ice dragon head, turned around to observe the attack trajectory and urgently reported the enemy situation.

Aokiji flew sideways, barely avoiding the fireball attack.

"You hid pretty well..."

This kind of chase-and-chase fighting style was something Madara Uchiha had never seen before in all his years of fighting, and he found it quite interesting: "But you're already at your wit's end, I'd like to see how long you can hold out."

Having said that, Madara Uchiha was about to use a new ninjutsu to pursue the ice dragon when he suddenly saw a figure flash on the ice dragon's back. Judging from the back view, the figure looked somewhat familiar.

While Madara Uchiha was still in a daze, the figure had already disappeared, but it also took Tsunade, who was lying on Aokiji, with it. Then, the next second, the ice dragon appeared again with its other claw that had not grabbed Hashirama.

With its two claws close together, the figure made contact with Hashirama, and with a quick search, it repeated the process, escaping with Hashirama and itself.

"This, this is..."

Madara Uchiha was taken aback; he recognized the guy.

It was this guy who teleported his trusted confidant, Black Zetsu, to Aokiji's front, and before he could even react, he was instantly killed by the Soul Fire.

He has this ability, there's no mistake, in all his knowledge there is only one kind of ninjutsu.

Flying Thunder God.

Once Madara Uchiha understood this, he knew what Aokiji was going to do.

Oh no, Aokiji is going to use Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.

Four fire dragons spewed from Susanoo's mouth, covering a wide area and moving at an astonishing speed. In an instant, they caught up with the ice dragon and caused a huge explosion.

After the smoke cleared, Madara Uchiha frowned; they'd escaped...

He paused, then laughed, "Well, never mind..."

To prepare for this battle, Aokiji did a lot of research. He had the Flying Thunder God seal on his back and hands. Once he transformed into his Ice Dragon form, it would be a signal to Itachi to teleport away quickly.

The reason he has been fighting Madara Uchiha to the death until now is because he has this trump card.

Rain-Hidden Village.

Payne stood on the street, looking at the empty, ruined streets, and felt quite emotional.

Because of the previous battle, all the villagers had fled to seek refuge.

The fighting over there had subsided, and it seemed that a victor had been decided. If that was the case, he calculated the time and figured that Uchiha Madara would come looking for him here.

How about Pain? If I wasn't mistaken, the real Madara Uchiha possesses the Rinnegan.

The Rinnegan is the eye of the Sage of Six Paths. It is truly astonishing that there are two such eyes in this world.

What surprised him even more was that the Rinnegan had gradually evolved from the Sharingan.

Is there some connection between the Sharingan and the Rinnegan?

Payne thought to himself...

Until a man appeared, descending from the sky. The thick smoke dissipated, revealing a man standing there, with long, black hair reaching his waist, a cold and stern face, and scarlet eyes as sharp as arrows.

Payne said in a deep voice, "Madara..."

Madara Uchiha had already learned from Black Zetsu that the person in front of him was nothing more than a puppet, and bluntly stated the name of the person behind him: "Nagato, is it...?"

Pain stared into Madara Uchiha's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What is your relationship with that mask?"

Madara Uchiha answered every question: "You can simply think of him as my subordinate."

Pain nodded slightly, finally understanding why that guy had impersonated Uchiha Madara; it turned out it was all at the behest of the real Uchiha Madara.

"Where's that guy?" Pain pointed at whom Madara Uchiha knew very well, and said regretfully, "He got away..."

Pain analyzed Madara Uchiha's calm expression and concluded: "You don't seem too worried."

Madara Uchiha shrugged lightly: "There's nothing we can do about it."

"Aren't you worried that this guy might come back with a vengeance?"

Madara Uchiha wasn't at ease. He smiled, then composed himself, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "It doesn't matter. In fact, I'm even more looking forward to a real battle with him."

In his previous battle against Aokiji, he relied on Hashirama's power and unlimited chakra, which made his victory somewhat unfair. Next time, he will defeat Aokiji with his true strength.

Pain gave Madara Uchiha a strange look and asked, "What should we do next?"

"First, I need to confirm something."

Madara Uchiha approached Obito's corpse, extracted a piece of flesh, and immediately summoned White Zetsu. Ruthless and merciless, he used it as a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation, but after using it, he found it was useless.

Madara Uchiha was a little confused about the situation and couldn't help but frown.

"What are you doing?" Payne asked.

"Impure World Reincarnation".

Payne suddenly realized, pondered for a moment, and reminded him that someone on Aokiji's side seemed to know how to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Madara Uchiha was slightly surprised, then sighed, "Since that's the case, then there's nothing we can do..."

A barely perceptible glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he asked, "Take me to your true form."

Before long, Madara Uchiha arrived at Nagato's location, his gaze intense.

Aokiji has already used Edo Tensei on Obito, so Aokiji will soon know all of Obito's plans. Since the plan has already deviated so much, Nagato is no longer of any use.

He is determined to be truly resurrected and reclaim his eyes. Only when he returns to his peak condition can he easily annihilate Aokiji.

He possesses the eye technique Limbo: Border Jail, making him invincible...

On the other side, Aokiji, who had narrowly escaped death, collapsed on the ground, his chakra depleted and unwilling to move.

Tsunade, Aokiji's sweet little darling, handed him a water bottle for him to drink from.

Aokiji downed the drink in one gulp, gushing it down his throat. When he had almost finished, he wiped his mouth with his hand.

After Aokiji caught his breath, someone couldn't help but ask for the next instructions.

Without hesitation, Aokiji said in a deep voice, "Prepare to run for your lives..."

Madara Uchiha was resurrected and regained the Rinnegan; all of them combined wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

Limbo is a completely different level of technology. Aokiji plans to use Obito to hide in the Kamui dimension, lay low for a while, and find a way out.
