Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 186 Uchiha Madara

Inside the dimly lit cave.

A surge of chakra instantly filled the entire cave.

The immense pressure caused the fine sand and soil on the ground to tremble, and cracks gradually appeared in the surrounding rock walls.

"What do you mean?"

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes, questioning him with an air of superiority.

Logically speaking, all that meat should have been bought by White Zetsu, but this strange brat in front of me said something like that…

Could it be that White Zetsu betrayed him?

"That's exactly what you mean."

Suzuki chuckled, ignoring Madara Uchiha's oppressive gaze, and then slowly approached, showing no sign of being under heavy pressure.

"Mr. Madara, I have long admired you."

"It's a pity I've been so busy that I haven't been able to visit sooner."

Upon reaching Madara Uchiha, Suzuki stopped and said seriously:

"Luckily, I'm capable enough to realize in time that you were planning to commit suicide. Otherwise, if I wanted to talk to you, I'd probably have to go to the Pure Land to snatch you away."

"..."

Looking at Suzuki in front of him, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but frown.

Has White Zetsu truly betrayed us?

How could something like that betray us? Did it use some kind of ninjutsu?

Does that mean this strange brat knows about the Eye of the Moon plan?

Madara Uchiha scrutinized Suzuki again for a moment, then chuckled:

"Talk to me? You think you're worthy?"

"I don't know where you came from, and although you seem to have some skill, but..."

Uchiha Madara released the tubes, his aged body standing as straight as a pine tree, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at Suzuki.

"Dare to appear before me? That's your biggest mistake!"

The way the ninja world's shrew is to kill is always decisive and swift. Since Suzuki may know about the Eye of the Moon Plan, then just kill him!

Madara Uchiha thought this way, and he did this way.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

In an instant, a torrent of flames erupted from Madara Uchiha's mouth, illuminating the dark cave.

The scorching heat dried up the originally damp mountain rock walls, leaving them cracked and dry. The flames filled the entire cave, leaving not a single crack.

Bang! ! !

The cave exploded instantly.

A ray of sunlight shone through the opening, and countless fragments of stone and rock flew everywhere.

"Um???"

The attack hit its target, but Madara Uchiha showed no sign of joy.

Although he didn't know why he couldn't sense Suzuki's presence, his intuition told him that this strange kid in front of him wouldn't die so easily.

A moment later, a voice coming from the smoke confirmed his guess.

"Mr. Madara, isn't it incredibly impolite to resort to violence so easily?"

Suzuki waved casually.

In an instant, all the remaining flames and smoke vanished.

He looked at Madara Uchiha and said calmly:

"Mr. Ban, you need to change your temper."

"At least, you shouldn't be so irritable in front of me."

"???"

Although he was somewhat surprised to see the strange brat in front of him unharmed by his Fire Release technique, Madara Uchiha was so angry at Suzuki's words that he laughed.

"Ha, brat."

"Besides Hashirama, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that!"

Madara Uchiha's killing intent grew even stronger.

"Your skills are indeed quite good, but that's no reason for you to be arrogant in front of me!"

"You only managed to dodge one of my casual fire-style attacks. I've killed countless ninjas like you in the past. What's this little brat who appeared out of nowhere..."

The voice just fell.

boom! ! !

The ground beneath his feet instantly shattered, and Madara Uchiha, with his aged body, unleashed a speed that even the Five Kage could not match.

As a friend and only rival of Hashirama Senju, the God of Shinobi, Madara, after fusing with Hashirama's flesh and blood, can now perfectly unleash the Senju clan's superhuman strength techniques!

"Little brat, let me send you to the underworld first!"

Madara Uchiha stood beside Suzuki, his eyes cold.

His old, withered arm radiated a chakra far beyond what people could imagine, and then he slammed down with a powerful punch!

Hmm...she's much stronger than Tsunade.

Suzuki made his own assessment.

He had once witnessed the monstrous strength of Tsunade, the only remaining member of the Senju clan, on the battlefield of Sunagakure. It was a power that even the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, could not defend against with his hard iron sand.

And yet, as a member of the Uchiha clan, Madara is even stronger than Tsunade in terms of superhuman strength, which is truly astonishing.

But what's the use?

Suzuki didn't even raise his hand, letting the withered fist, accompanied by a tearing gale, pound on him.

bang——

A muffled thud was heard, and the ground above shook violently. Immediately afterwards, the cave began to collapse, and a large number of rocks fell down the pit.

At the same time, a faint cracking sound could be heard.

Madara Uchiha's hand was broken.

"..." Suzuki stared speechlessly at Madara's twisted right arm, and couldn't help but take a small step back. "Mr. Madara, this shouldn't be my fault, right?"

"..."

Madara Uchiha remained silent.

At this moment, even the pain of his broken arm could not overshadow the shock in his heart!

The human body is fragile, and so are ninjas.

Even with chakra defense, most ninjas would try to dodge and resist when attacked, rather than take the hit head-on. Even his former nemesis, Hashirama Senju, was no exception!

Madara was very confident in his power.

That attack just now was undoubtedly a monstrous force capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks; even Hashirama wouldn't dare to block it with his body!

However... this brat actually withstood it without making any defense??

At that moment, Madara Uchiha instantly abandoned his previous contempt.

He looked at Suzuki, his expression grave, and said:

"Kid, who exactly are you?"

"Me?" Suzuki smiled and gave a brief self-introduction: "My name is Suzuki. Many people call me Traveler, but I'm just an ordinary ninja who's about to switch careers and become a fruit farmer."

Traveler? Fruit farmer? What a jumble of answers!

"Hmph!" Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Suzuki's answer: "Fine, don't tell me if you don't want to!"

"Anyway, I didn't intend to let you live any longer!"

After saying that, Madara Uchiha returned to the vicinity of the Gedo Mazo at an extremely fast speed, then picked up a tube and slammed it into his body.

next moment.

The originally still demonic statue of the Outer Path began to tremble incessantly as if it had come to life.

The thick pipe emitted a faint, pale blue light, and a large amount of life force flowed through the pipe toward Uchiha Madara.

Suzuki stood still and did not stop him.

He calmly watched the aged ninja world's demon, his white hair gradually turning black, and as he watched the withered arm slowly regain its color...

A short while later.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

As a fierce gust of wind swept up, Uchiha's characteristic maniacal laughter echoed from the smoke and dust.

Then, a young and strong figure wearing tattered armor, exuding an aura of dominance, stepped out.

"Kid, your name is Suzuki, right?" Uchiha Madara, now back in his youthful form, grinned arrogantly. "Since you haven't bothered me, I'll make sure you die a quick death later."

Feeling his body return to its youthful state, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Madara's eyes, then he crossed his arms and looked at Suzuki with an indifferent expression:

"You brat, please me as much as you want before you die!"

"..." Suzuki looked at Madara Uchiha, who remained motionless, gesturing for him to attack, with a complex expression, and sighed softly:

"Mr. Ban, while it's good to reciprocate gifts, sometimes one shouldn't be too overconfident."

"However, since you've put it that way, I'll just give you a simple counterattack."

The voice just fell.

Suzuki's figure then disappeared from the spot.

"So fast!"

Madara Uchiha's eyes flickered with the tomoe, and a chill ran through him.

The next moment, Suzuki suddenly appeared on his right.

With his superb physical skills and proficient Sharingan, Madara instantly spotted Suzuki.

He immediately turned around, channeling all his chakra into his palm, and swung his hand down with a powerful chop.

The tearing gale was even sharper than the wind blades unleashed by ordinary ninjas, but it was merely the airflow generated by Madara Uchiha's hand chop!

However, the ninja world's demon's face was soon filled with astonishment.

"Afterimage?!"

Immediately afterward, before he could even catch his breath, Suzuki's figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"not good!!!"

Without time to think, sensing the dangerous aura behind him, Madara Uchiha immediately tried to retaliate.

But before he could turn around, a terrifying fist was already approaching his body.

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth, and then his chakra surged wildly. In the next moment, the incredibly concentrated chakra formed a blue skull armor that firmly enveloped him.

This is the Susanoo, a dojutsu that only the Mangekyou Sharingan can use in the Uchiha clan!

Madara Uchiha accomplished this using only the three tomoe that were not his own.

And that's not all.

"No, that's not enough!"

Sensing the ferocity of Suzuki's fist, Madara Uchiha knew that he probably couldn't defend against it with just his Susanoo at its initial stage.

With a serious expression, he continued to activate his pupil technique.

In an instant, Susanoo, which was originally in the form of a half-skeletal skeleton, grew into its complete form, transforming into a giant sword-wielding samurai clad in armor!

However, this was still nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot for Suzuki's fist.

Under Madara Uchiha's horrified gaze, the Perfect Susanoo, whose defense could easily withstand even a Tailed Beast Ball, was effortlessly pierced through by a single fist, just like tofu!

Cracks had barely appeared on the blue armor before it began to tear apart inch by inch. Then, the bones that made up the hardest part of the skull were easily broken like weeds!

bang——

Madara Uchiha was sent flying by a single punch from Suzuki.

Its body flew backwards for nearly a hundred meters in mid-air before crashing headfirst into the hard soil behind the cave, creating a human-shaped tunnel that was hundreds of meters long.

Suzuki stood still, his gaze calmly fixed on the depths of the dark tunnel.

After a while.

"Wood Release: The Advent of the Tree World!"

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"

With a loud shout, countless thick tree roots emerged from the depths of the ground, covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The cave collapsed completely, and the original darkness instantly turned into a lush green forest.

Several thick tree roots coiled into the shape of a dragon. Uchiha Madara stood atop the wooden dragon's head, looking down at Suzuki with intense fighting spirit and excitement on his face.

"I never expected to encounter such a powerful expert before my death!"

"This is... wonderful!"

Relying on his body, which had been fused with the flesh and blood of Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha seemed to be largely unharmed even after taking Suzuki's terrifying punch.

Blood flowed from his wound, but gradually became less and less, and the wound healed quickly!

The next moment, the ninja world's demons, who were passionate about fighting and killing, were completely ignited and began to fight with all their might.

Countless tree roots surged toward Suzuki.

At the same time, the shattered Susanoo rose again above the wooden dragon's head.

Madara Uchiha used his Wood Release roots to surround Suzuki while wielding the giant sword in his Perfect Susanoo.

boom!!!

The violent explosion swept through a forest covering several kilometers.

The raging fire and the howling wind raged simultaneously, and even the aftershocks of the sword energy from the giant sword easily destroyed the nearby mountain peaks.

Madara Uchiha frowned, his Sharingan piercing through layers of dust as he searched for Suzuki's figure.

But soon, the sound suddenly came from his side.

"As expected of Mr. Madara."

Suzuki had somehow arrived beside Madara Uchiha, standing atop the wooden dragon's head as well. Looking down at the commotion caused by the Perfect Susanoo, he couldn't help but sigh.

"!!!" Madara Uchiha suddenly turned his head to look over, and then swung Susanoo's giant sword to slash to his side again.

The sharp blade, accompanied by a tearing gale, swept in with overwhelming force.

however……

boom! ! !

Madara Uchiha's pupils constricted instantly, unable to believe what he was seeing.

The sword strike from the fully-formed Susanoo, which was so close at hand, was actually caught steadily with one hand!

monster! ! !

Madara Uchiha made a serious assessment in his mind.

To him, it was utterly inconceivable that a human body could accomplish what only a wooden puppet like Hashirama could do.

But then, an even more unbelievable scene unfolded.

Suzuki lightly pinched the sword's edge with two fingers, gradually increasing the pressure. Suddenly, cracks appeared in the giant sword in the hands of Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo.

Then, more and more cracks appeared...

The next instant, click.

The giant sword, formed from chakra, was suddenly crushed by a single blow!

How is that possible?!

Madara Uchiha finally showed a look of shock on his face.

Just then, Suzuki said calmly:

"Mr. Madara, since you're about to die anyway, you probably won't mind if I just kill you, right?"

After saying that, he took out the Thunder Blade Fang, which he hadn't used for a long time.

The blade, which was over a meter long, instantly grew to over a hundred meters long under the effect of the Devil Fruit's power, and slashed horizontally and rapidly towards Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo with an unstoppable force!
