Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 510 The Tailed Beast Transformation of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki

Upon arriving at the isolated island where Madara was located, Aokiji used Kamui to manipulate the surrounding space and summon Tsunade from inside. The two found a high vantage point to observe the terrain: "It seems there aren't many people here, so we don't have to worry about accidentally injuring anyone during the battle."

Tsunade pressed her left palm against her right fist, stretching her muscles and bones: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's find him quickly."

"It's not that easy. This island is so big, it's not easy to find anything."

When Aokiji opened his eyes, they turned gold.

Tsunade noticed the change in Aokiji's eyes and asked in surprise, "We haven't even seen the person yet, why are you in such a hurry to activate these eyes? Doesn't it consume chakra?"

"I think I've already told you about his abilities. If he uses his abilities to strike first, we'll lose the initiative."

Just as Aokiji finished his analysis, a voice rang out, echoing in the air.

"Aokiji, you think far too highly of me."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji and Tsunade were on high alert and looked up. The next second, a figure fell like a stone and crashed to the ground. In the smoke that rose up, a man in a white robe stood with white, wavy eyes that exuded a mysterious aura.

"spot……"

Tsunade clapped her hands together, a flower bloomed on her head, and she entered Sage Mode, ready to fight at any moment.

Madara Uchiha glanced at Aokiji and Tsunade, his tone tinged with surprise: "You two arrived earlier than I expected."

In Madara Uchiha's plan, it would take Aokiji at least several days to find this place.

Aokiji replied, "This is all thanks to Nagato's perception."

"Nagato?"

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, slightly puzzled for a moment, then understood the reason: "I see, no wonder you specifically unsealed Nagato back then."

Aokiji shrugged and retorted, "But you, how did you find us so quickly?"

Madara Uchiha said casually, "Setting up a large-scale barrier on this island is not difficult for me now."

Aokiji didn't think much of it: "That makes sense."

"Did you bring that thing?"

Madara Uchiha was implying something, which was the main reason he agreed to cooperate with Aokiji all these years.

"You're really in a hurry." Aokiji formed a hand seal and summoned a crow using a summoning technique.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes and noticed that this raptor had different scarlet eyes from the others; its pupils were surrounded by three tomoe.

The blue pheasant raised its head slightly, and the crow obeyed its command, flapping its wings and flying over.

Faced with the approaching crow, Madara Uchiha used extremely brutal methods. He grabbed half of the crow's body with one hand and slightly bent his sword fingers with the other hand to gouge out its eyes, all in one swift motion.

Aokiji warned, "Don't kill them."

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, but did not make things difficult for the crow.

The crow was so frightened that it cawed away, its soul scattered, and it vanished in a puff of white smoke.

"Do you need to verify this?"

"unnecessary."

Madara Uchiha gave a brief reply, glanced at Aokiji who kept his promise, and then placed Shisui's eye into the already prepared container, reuniting it with the other eye.

Madara Uchiha gathered two pairs of Shisui's eyes in his hands, and Tsunade's eyes showed a hint of worry: "Is this really okay?"

"One should be honest, shouldn't one?" Aokiji suggested. "You'd better take good care of these eyes from now on. It would be bad if they got damaged in the fight later."

"That's natural."

Madara Uchiha formed hand seals and summoned a jet-black cat.

"I never would have guessed that someone like you would use a cat as a summoning animal."

Aokiji laughed and teased.

Madara Uchiha ignored Aokiji; the ninja cats had served as a source of intelligence for the Uchiha clan since ancient times.

Madara Uchiha made a contract with a ninja cat when he was very young, and this habit has been maintained to this day.

Madara Uchiha placed the container containing Shisui's eyes near the mouth of the black ninja cat.

The black ninja cat understood, opened its mouth, and swallowed the container whole. With a gurgling sound in its throat, it completely absorbed the contents, then spoke in human language: "Then I'll be going now, Lord Madara..."

After saying that, he glanced at Aokiji, then turned into white smoke and disappeared like the wind.

The ninja cat, who had just disappeared from Aokiji's sight, joked, "After I defeat you, where am I supposed to find those eyes?"

"This option does not exist."

Madara Uchiha's voice was cold and disdainful. With a thought, the two Truth-Seeking Balls behind him launched a probing attack, rushing towards the two of them respectively.

Aokiji remained calm and composed, not moving an inch.

Like a scarecrow, he stood still, silently enduring the attacks of the Truth-Seeking Balls.

As a result, the Truth-Seeking Ball focused on Aokiji's forehead, smashing his head in one blow—but the attack, which should have been like this, vanished the moment it hit Aokiji's head.

Madara Uchiha stared wide-eyed. The Truth-Seeking Balls hadn't disappeared; rather, they had been absorbed into Aokiji the instant they hit him, even penetrating him completely.

Seeing the Truth-Seeking Balls moving forward and backward, he suddenly realized something. Before the name of the eye technique could even surface in his mind, a Truth-Seeking Ball hurtled towards him.

impossible.

He actually punched the Seeking the Dao Jade away.

What Madara Uchiha saw was the Truth-Seeking Ball being sent flying by Tsunade's punch.

Before he could even think, a Seeking Truth Jade quickly floated up behind him, forming a shield that stood in front of him.

That should work...

Madara Uchiha relaxed slightly, but the center of the black shield in front of him suddenly twisted and revealed a hole, into which a black Truth-Seeking Ball slipped.

Madara Uchiha reaped what he sowed, and the Truth-Seeking Balls struck his body squarely.

A figure emerged from the massive smoke from the explosion, creating some distance in the air before landing, though its legs still scraped the ground as it staggered backward.

Madara Uchiha stared intently at Aokiji and Tsunade. His once neat white clothes now showed signs of wear and tear, indicating that the Truth-Seeking Balls had caused him some damage.

"You're surprised, aren't you?"

Aokiji smiled and revealed what Madara Uchiha was thinking: "I'm sure you can figure it out without me having to explain."

Kamui...

Madara Uchiha's face was gloomy. He glanced at Aokiji, then at Tsunade.

"One has an eye that has awakened to the level of the Rinnegan, and the other has obtained the Six Paths Sage Technique. No wonder you have the courage to challenge me. But don't forget, I possess both of these powers at the same time."

Madara Uchiha summoned four transparent clones around his body, making a total of five Madara Uchiha clones including his main body.

Wheel of Graves and Border Prison.

"Tsunade, did you sense it?"

Aokiji's eyes saw through everything, and he asked the person beside him.

"Yes, although I can't see it, I can feel it."

Using her sensory abilities, Tsunade accurately located Madara Uchiha's clone.

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes and commanded his clones to attack the two of them in pairs.

The main body stands at a distance, observing the situation and waiting for an opportunity to act.

Two serpentine clones attacked from the left and right, forming a pincer movement.

This shadow clone was of extremely high quality and possessed almost the same abilities as the user. Aokiji had no intention of fighting two at once, so he jumped up and barely avoided the clash of two fists.

In mid-air, it flipped around, its gaze fixed on a Limbo Border Prison clone. It used Kamui to distort space, attempting to kill a clone of Limbo Border Prison and see if it could put Limbo Border Prison into a cooldown period.

However, he underestimated the reaction time of Limbo: Border Jail. As soon as the Kamui Twist began to take shape, the locked-on Limbo clone immediately jumped out of the attack range.

"Such a fast reaction, even the two Kamui can't keep up with this speed..."

The moment Aokiji landed, a clone of him, Wheel of Life, judged where he landed and pressed close.

Aokiji was unable to dodge and hastily used the first stage of Susanoo.

The Limbo clone punched Susanoo in the ribs, and the usually indestructible Susanoo shattered like tofu.

Aokiji didn't expect Susanoo in this state to be able to withstand the attack; he just wanted to delay the pace of the attack a little. Aokiji landed on one leg, pushed off with his foot, and retreated to create distance.

The clone camera followed closely, relentlessly pursuing it.

As he retreated in mid-air, Aokiji formed a cross hand seal and summoned four ice clones.

While the clones created by Limbo: Border Jail are powerful, they have a fatal flaw: they must return to the original body every so often.

In terms of sustained damage, if you can't match Shadow Clone Jutsu, using Shadow Clone Jutsu to restrain the enemy is a good option.

Aokiji first used two ice clones to hold off the two Limbo clones in front of him, and then sent the remaining two ice clones to help Tsunade break free from the Limbo clones.

Just as Aokiji was about to join forces with Tsunade to find Madara Uchiha, four Limbo clones suddenly returned to the Uchiha's side.

Has the time limit for Limbo: Border Prison been reached?

Aokiji was starting to have doubts.

After a short while, including the main body, the five Uchiha Madaras stood in a row and formed hand seals at the same time. Although each person only had one hand seal, each person's hand seal was different.

From left to right, they are:

Zi——Yin——Wu——You——Si

"This is……"

Aokiji narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of déjà vu about the scene before him.

In an instant, the wind howled, the rice paddies shimmered wildly, the flames blazed, the water surged, and the rocks raged.

Five different chakra attribute attacks were launched simultaneously.

It looks quite similar to the Third Hokage's Five Elements: Great Single Technique, but in terms of power, they are not comparable at all.

Immortal Technique: Five Elements Combo Technique

Faced with this move, Aokiji dared not be careless. He immediately summoned his soul fire, placed it in front of him, and burned himself, unleashing a blue wall of fire like a burst dam, rushing towards him.

Two enormous forces collided, and a massive explosion erupted, sending up a huge plume of white smoke that obscured visibility.

For Aokiji, this level of obstruction to his vision was negligible. He directly used his senses to locate Madara Uchiha, and his massive fist, fueled by the flames of his soul, charged forward.

Suddenly, a blue fist, no less powerful than the Soul Flame and perhaps even larger, smashed through the Soul Flame's fist.

Aokiji thought that Madara Uchiha was about to activate Susanoo. He and Tsunade jumped onto the forehead of Soul Flame, about to put Susanoo's armor on Soul Flame to further enhance its strength.

As if changing its mind halfway through, the Susanoo, which had already been half-formed, suddenly stopped and dissipated.

Aokiji and Tsunade were taken aback, somewhat confused about each other's true intentions.

Why aren't you using Susanoo anymore?

The two watched silently as Madara Uchiha flew into the air until their eyes met: "Forget it, using the same old tricks again would be pointless, and the effect might not even be good."

Madara Uchiha's words of knowing what was going on only made Aokiji more wary.

Madara Uchiha smiled slightly: "Before we continue the battle, let me ask you a question."

Aokiji asked cooperatively, "What...?"

"If a Jinchuriki can perfectly control the Tailed Beast within their body, they can fight in full Tailed Beast form. You should know that, right?"

Madara Uchiha brought this up specifically, and Aokiji, puzzled, asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Madara Uchiha slightly curled his lips and asked meaningfully, "So, do you think I, as a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, could achieve this?"

Aokiji paused for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have guessed something, and his pupils dilated.

"Hmph..."

With a burst of laughter, large chunks of yellowish-brown flesh surged out of Madara Uchiha's body and continued to expand at an extremely terrifying speed.

The desolate, ancient aura emanated from it, causing even Aokiji and Tsunade to freeze in place.

Oh no, Madara Uchiha is transforming into the Ten-Tails.

Without time to think, while the creature in front of him was still transforming, Aokiji's eyes sharpened, and his enormous fist, imbued with fiery energy, slammed into the ever-expanding creature, attempting to stop the situation from escalating further.

But it was too late; the creature before them had already completed its transformation.

It stands on all fours, its body is yellowish-brown, its back is covered with jagged, sharp spikes, and it has ten tails.

The alien creature before them was incredibly ugly, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and a large red Rinnegan that occupied a large area of ​​its face, and even had six tomoe in its pupil.

Standing atop the Soul Flame's forehead, Tsunade stared in disbelief: "W-so big..."

The Soulfire is tens of meters tall, while the creature in front of us is probably thousands of meters tall.

The sheer size difference between the two at such close range gave Tsunade a truly shocking experience.

Suddenly, the Ten-Tails, with a speed disproportionate to its bulky size, raised its hand and made a downward slapping motion.

The Soulfire crossed its arms and raised them high. Under the pressure of its immense power, a large amount of sand and soil first surged up around the Soulfire's feet, and then the ground, unable to withstand the pressure, began to crack and collapse like a spider web.

Taking advantage of the Soul Flame's desperate resistance, the Ten-Tails pressed its advantage with its other hand, delivering a powerful blow that sent the Soul Flame flying hundreds of meters away, its back hitting the ground and creating a long, thick cloud of smoke in its wake.

Despite appearing disheveled after being slapped, Soulfire was actually unharmed and slowly got up.

Aokiji asked the person next to him with concern, "Is Tsunade alright?"

"It's alright." Tsunade replied simply, then went straight to the point: "Is this the Ten-Tails?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Aokiji pointed to the ten conspicuous tails behind the Totomi Hakimi.

Tsunade gazed at the Ten-Tails, which was over a thousand meters long, exhaled, and slightly parted her lips: "I must say, it truly lives up to its reputation as a collection of tailed beasts; it looks incredibly large."

Aokiji laughed and said, "Are you scared?"

"no."

"I saw you were so scared you couldn't speak just now."

"I was just a little surprised by the size of that body."

Tsunade, fearing Aokiji wouldn't believe her, added, "This thing in front of us, although it's huge, I feel like it's about this size."

Aokiji laughed at Tsunade's naiveté: "Of course, because the Ten-Tails in front of us is only in its first stage."

"Phase one?"

Tsunade, making a connection, asked with a hint of surprise, "So there are second and third stages?"

"More or less," Aokiji replied affirmatively.
