Chapter 93 The Will of Stone

Onoki stared blankly at the scene of devastation before him, a wave of helplessness washing over him: "This is Uchiha Madara..."

Suddenly, a faint sound caught his attention.

He looked down and saw a broken stone slide down from above and land at his feet.

Onoki bent down, his trembling fingers picking up the stone. The rough texture brought back memories from many years ago.

"Onoki, remember, the ninjas of Iwagakure are as resilient as this rock."

The First Tsuchikage's voice was gentle yet firm: "No matter how great the difficulties we encounter, we will not easily give in. This is the will of the Iwagakure ninja."

Onoki gripped the stone tightly in his hand. His gaze gradually shifted from confusion to determination.

"How can I admit defeat here?" Onoki muttered to himself, "I am the Third Tsuchikage, who has inherited the will of all previous Tsuchikage!"

"Light and Heavy Rock Technique!"

The next moment, Onoki suddenly took off and flew in front of Uchiha Madara, staring directly at those Rinnegan eyes that were full of pressure.

Madara Uchiha looked down at Onoki, his tone clearly contemptuous: "Two-dimensional scales, what kind of look is that? After what happened before, you should know how big the gap is between us."

"Uchiha Madara!" Onoki shouted, "I am the Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, inheriting the will of all the previous Tsuchikage! Even if you are Uchiha Madara, I will never submit to you!"

A hint of interest flashed in Madara Uchiha's eyes: "Oh? Then let me see just how far you, the 'Tsuchikage,' can go."

Onoki took a deep breath, his chakra surging like a tide, and even the wrinkles on his face tightened.

"Dust Release: Limit Separation Technique!" Onoki roared.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, a huge, glowing cube appeared out of thin air, instantly enveloping Madara Uchiha's Susanoo completely.

This cube spans several hundred meters and emanates a chilling energy fluctuation.

The surrounding wood-elemental trees seemed to be instantly swallowed up by some invisible force, turning into dust and dissipating into the air, leaving only the huge light cube floating in the air.

Onoki was panting heavily, with large beads of sweat on his forehead. This move had almost exhausted all of his chakra.

"Did we succeed?" Onoki struggled to lift his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Even Madara Uchiha couldn't have survived a direct hit from Dust Release, could he?

However, at that very moment, the enormous cube of light suddenly began to twist and deform, as if it were being absorbed by some unseen force.

"Not bad, but it's far from enough." Madara Uchiha's voice came from the distorted light, calm yet tinged with admiration.

"What?!"

Before Onoki could react, an irresistible repulsive force struck him head-on. His body was instantly thrown back, crashing into a distant rock wall like a kite with a broken string.

"Pfft!" Onoki crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to lift his head, staring incredulously at the unharmed Uchiha Madara.

Madara Uchiha looked down at the disheveled Onoki: "Power is not willpower, but a phenomenon caused by matter, which then manifests as power. Your will of stone is utterly vulnerable before true power."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha slowly walked up to Onoki and said, "Hand over the ninjutsu scrolls of your village, and I might consider sparing your life."

Onoki gritted his teeth and answered weakly but firmly, "Don't even think about it. I will never betray the village!"

Madara Uchiha began forming hand seals: "It seems you still don't understand. The weak are destined to be eliminated."

As Madara Uchiha moved, the Wood Release techniques suddenly spread outwards once more. Thick tree branches twisted like giant pythons, extending irresistibly in all directions.

The sturdy houses were utterly vulnerable to this force, instantly crushed into dust. The tentacles of Wood Release mercilessly pierced through the walls, pulling in the residents hiding within.

"Crack!" The sound of wood breaking echoed, mixed with the roar of collapsing buildings and people's screams.

Hearing the screams echoing around him, Onoki struggled internally. Finally, he managed to say with difficulty, "Stop! I...I'll give it to you."

Onoki gritted his teeth, his hands trembling as he formed hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu."

With a soft click, a puff of white smoke dissipated, and an antique scroll appeared in Onoki's hand. He sighed heavily and handed the scroll to Uchiha Madara.

Madara took the scroll, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. He casually put the scroll away and turned his gaze to the two Jinchuriki not far away.

They had lost their tailed beast form and were tightly bound by the wooden dragon, struggling to support their bodies as they warily watched Uchiha Madara.

"Now it's time to deal with you all." Madara Uchiha's voice carried an undeniable air of authority.

Madara Uchiha pressed one hand to the ground and uttered a low shout: "Summoning Jutsu!"

With a deafening roar, a massive cloud of smoke suddenly exploded across the battlefield. When the smoke cleared, a colossal and ferocious statue appeared before everyone.

As soon as the Gedo Mazo appeared, it opened its enormous maw. Two chains, like cannonballs, instantly pierced the bodies of the two Jinchūriki.

"Ah!" The two Jinchūriki let out a piercing scream. Two huge chakra balls were forcibly pulled out of their bodies.

Just then, a white figure suddenly emerged from the ground with a strange smile on his face: "Lord Uchiha Madara, we need to seal the One-Tailed Beast first."

Madara Uchiha glanced at White Zetsu and said in a calm tone, "It doesn't matter, as long as we don't seal too many tailed beasts in a short period of time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the chains in the mouth of the Gedo Mazo tightened suddenly, and the Four-Tails and Five-Tails shot straight into the mouth of the Gedo Mazo like two shooting stars.

"boom!"

A deafening roar exploded in the air. Suddenly, two of the countless eyes of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path snapped open, emitting an eerie light.

Madara Uchiha looked up at the Gedo Mazo, a satisfied smile playing on his lips: "Very good, another step closer to the goal."

Then his figure slowly rose into the air, looking down at the devastated Iwagakure: "Next stop, Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails."

Whoosh!

A sonic boom rang out, and his figure instantly disappeared into the horizon.

At that moment, Onoki stood up, looking around at the once prosperous Iwagakure village now reduced to ruins, his face filled with rage.

"Gather all the ninjas who can still move!"

"Immediately organize the treatment of the wounded, clear the rubble, and search for survivors!" Onoki ordered, his voice weak but calm.

He turned to his adjutant who had rushed over and said, "At the same time, order the front-line troops to immediately cease all offensive operations and consolidate their defensive lines."

He paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Send out the communications unit to send a message to the other ninja villages. Madara Uchiha has been resurrected; this is a threat to the entire ninja world."

A sharp glint flashed in Onoki's eyes: "Important notice to Konoha. Madara Uchiha is their rogue ninja; they must be held accountable!"
