Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 512 Time Freeze

"Fire-style chakra nature?"

By altering the nature of chakra and changing the original attribute of the soul fire, Madara Uchiha, with the insight of the Rinnegan, discerned the principle behind this technique: "So, it was specifically designed to counter the Ten-Tails' Wood Release, hence the attribute change...?"

"Tsunade, get ready."

At Aokiji's prompting, Tsunade closed her eyes and increased her chakra concentration.

As the fireball grew larger than the user, the Soul Fire swung it forcefully, sending the fireball flying. As it spun, countless fireballs were flung from its surface, burning down forests and turning everything in its path into a sea of ​​fire.

As the giant fireball hurtled towards them, the Ten-Tails immediately retaliated, gathering immense chakra at the corner of its mouth to form a unique cone-shaped Tailed Beast Ball, which was then ejected from its open mouth.

The two enormous forces collided, creating a massive explosion that shook the heavens and the earth, billowing smoke and towering waves.

"The same old trick."

Standing atop the Ten-Tails, Madara Uchiha sensed a spatial distortion in the space above him.

Ten thick tails surged upwards, attacking from different directions in a coordinated manner.

The Soul Flame dodged the tails one by one, but it couldn't keep up with all of them. Taking advantage of the Soul Flame's attention being focused on the tails, the Ten-Tails seized the opportunity, pinched the huge Soul Flame with both hands, and grabbed it like a chick.

"I've got you, little fledgling."

A mocking, wicked smile appeared on Madara Uchiha's cold face.

With the blessing of Susanoo, the already terrifying power of the Ten-Tails was elevated to another dimension. Even the black armor on the Soul Flame showed signs of cracking due to the pressure.

"Are you planning to use Kamui to escape, or are you going to get crushed like this?"

Madara Uchiha smiled and gave the other party two choices.

"Only children make choices; I'm not choosing any of them."

Qingzhi snorted coldly, took the seal with both hands, and the soul fire responded to it. The red skin in the armor was dyed into the original blue, which showed that the attributes were changed back to the original ones.

At this moment, ice began to form on the Ten-Tails' hands.

Ten-Tails hurriedly released its grip, wanting to throw away this frozen potato, but it was too late. The soul fire it had been holding turned into a ball of blue flame, burning fiercely and exploding on the spot. A cold current gushed out from it like a flood bursting its banks, greedily freezing everything in front of it.

Even the mighty Ten-Tails' entire body was frozen, its surface covered in frost.

Although they won't be completely frozen, it won't be easy for them to break free in the short term.

Inside the rhombus-shaped sapphire, Madara Uchiha remained unaffected. He turned his head and said coldly, "No one can stand behind me."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people rushed out of the white mist.

While Aokiji summoned four ice clones by forming a cross hand seal, he locked onto Madara Uchiha's location with his eyes, activated Kamui, and distorted space, twisting a hole in the forehead of Susanoo, revealing an opening.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tsunade slipped inside, swinging her black fists and raining blows down on people.

With Truth-Seeking Balls wrapped around his arm and his superhuman strength, this punch would be incredibly destructive.

Madara Uchiha dodged Tsunade's fist and summoned clones of Limbo: Border Jail, scattering them to various locations to prepare for different situations at any time.

Aokiji's four ice clones engaged in battle against the four clones created by Limbo: Border Jail.

Aokiji then approached Madara Uchiha, first using a Body Flicker Technique to close the distance, and then immediately using his eye technique.

Mahaprabhāṣma World

No matter how fast or undefendable the eye technique is, as long as you react when the chakra is concentrated in your eyes, you can avoid it.

Madara Uchiha could tell at a glance that the amount of chakra Aokiji had gathered in his eyes this time was far beyond what Kamui could match.

Madara Uchiha raised his hands and crossed them to protect his head.

???

It seems like nothing happened?

Madara Uchiha was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.

No, I can't move my hands anymore.

And it's not just a simple inability to move; it's the complete loss of sensation, as if the hand doesn't belong to oneself.

What's going on?

At the same time, Aokiji charged towards Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha didn't have time to think and quickly used the clones created by Limbo: Border Jail to switch between them.

Limbo: Border Jail can not only create clones, but also swap bodies with the clones it creates. This falls under the realm of spacetime, allowing it to perfectly dodge any attack.

As soon as Madara Uchiha moved, he saw two figures rushing towards him, one in front and one behind, namely Aokiji and Tsunade.

Because of the different positions of Limbo: Border Jail clones, three of them are currently fighting against Aokiji's ice clone, while the other Limbo: Border Jail clone is located in a remote area and has not yet officially engaged in combat with Aokiji's clone.

This is why Madara Uchiha chose this clone.

Seeing the two approaching, Madara Uchiha reacted extremely quickly, still having ample time to defend himself, and raised his hand to...

hand?

Where's the hand?

Madara Uchiha's eyes widened to their maximum, revealing an expression of disbelief.

His two forelimbs disappeared completely.

So shocked was he that when Aokiji got right up to his face, he could only give a hasty response, whipping his right leg across the face.

Aokiji raised his left leg and stood upright to block the sweeping leg whip. He then kicked Madara Uchiha away with his left foot.

Tsunade and Aokiji worked together seamlessly, having already circled behind Madara Uchiha, waiting for Aokiji to kick them, and then thrusting their wooden swords straight into Madara's back.

"hateful……"

Madara Uchiha's gaze shifted downwards, and a wooden sword pierced through his back and emerged from his chest.

He is the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, so this level of injury wouldn't have much of an impact on him, but it would be extremely humiliating.

Not to mention, he just said: No one can stand behind me.

This reminded him of the time when he too fell to Hashirama's hand in the same way, and he never imagined that this scene would be repeated by his granddaughter.

Enraged, Madara Uchiha fired the Truth-Seeking Balls from his back at Tsunade.

Having achieved her goal, Tsunade knew when to stop, having already drawn her wooden sword and dodged to the side.

Did you think it was over?

Madara Uchiha turned his face, following Tsunade's direction, and stared intently at her.

The black flames burned directly onto Tsunade's body at the focal point, but the next second, wood grew from the burned parts of Tsunade's body, peeling off her skin, and the black flames also fell away.

Madara Uchiha looked displeased and snorted coldly.

This method of defending against Amaterasu is exactly the same as that used by Hashirama.

As his upper limbs began to recover, Uchiha Madara glanced and saw that his two missing hands were suspended in the air not far away. If he looked carefully, he would find transparent flames attached to them.

"This is……"

Madara Uchiha's face turned serious as he saw the flames, his eyes narrowing.

A moment later, the transparent flames disappeared, and the two floating hands suddenly fell to the ground. Despite being burned so fiercely just now, there wasn't a single burn mark, as if it had never happened.

In an instant, Madara Uchiha's thoughts raced, and all sorts of ideas came to mind.

The time from when the flame appears to when it disappears is approximately five seconds.

The attack method is similar to Amaterasu, both summoning flames from the focus of the line of sight.

Moreover, this flame seems to be similar in nature to his Limbo: Borderlands; without the Six Paths Sage Mode or the Rinnegan, it is impossible to see or perceive it.

Madara Uchiha stared at his two hands, which showed no signs of burning, and his thoughts continued to race. He thought that being burned by this flame would not cause burns, but rather render him unable to move.

No, it's not simply that you can't move.

If they are unable to move, then when using the Limbo: Border Jail teleportation method, these two hands should also be teleported along with them and not left in place.

As if he had thought of something, Madara Uchiha's eyes widened. Could it be that being burned by this flame would freeze time and space?

Otherwise, it's inexplicable that he replaced his body with the Limbo: Borderlands, which resulted in a spatial tear, leaving his hands stuck in place.

If that's really the ability, and if the next time I get burned, it's not my hand but my head...

Suddenly, Madara Uchiha recalled the situation when he controlled Nagato back then...

Suddenly, he had a sudden realization...

"Aokiji, I've roughly figured out the capabilities of your new eyes."

Madara Uchiha kept a certain distance from Aokiji. If his head were burned by this ability, who knows what might happen in five seconds.

Fortunately, this eye technique has weaknesses, and he has already come up with some countermeasures.
