I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 504 and 505: The Buddha on Nightfall's Peak Expands, Seeking the Dao Jade

The roots of the thousands of divine trees that intertwined and wrapped around the Uchiha Sage Sect merged into a giant lotus flower. Then, the lotus petals bloomed one after another, and a holy, thousand-armed Guanyin statue sat on the lotus platform.

The Guanyin statue stands tall, and even enormous creatures like the Tailed Beasts are merely pets that He holds and plays with.

If any Buddhist were fortunate enough to witness this miracle, they would surely be moved to tears, prostrate themselves in worship, and offer heartfelt reverence.

However, with the entire world under the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu, only Madara Uchiha (Six Paths Madara) could appreciate such a magnificent sight.

"Well done, Immortal Sect! You've mastered Hashirama's Wood Release technique to such an incredible degree, even borrowing the power of the Divine Tree." Madara Rokudo looked down at him and exclaimed in admiration.

"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

Black marks, characteristic of sage transformation, appeared on his eyelids and forehead. Standing atop the Guanyin statue, Uchiha Senmon clapped his hands and said in a deep voice.

Behind the True Thousand Hands, three rows of countless arms stretched out for thousands of meters, their overwhelming fist shadows obscuring half the sky.

Each punch could shatter a mountain; ten could stun a tailed beast; and a hundred could not even withstand the absolute defense of a complete Susanoo.

Faced with the overwhelming power of the True Thousand Hands combo, Madara Rokudo became serious. He pressed his right hand down, and several black Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind him shot out downwards.

"Boom boom boom!"

After the terrifying explosion, accompanied by a fierce wind that swept for miles, hundreds of wooden severed limbs crashed to the ground, causing another earthquake.

The thousand hands behind Guanyin were broken in half, but the broken ends sprouted new shoots and quickly grew back to their original state.

Glancing upwards, Uchiha Senmon's heart sank.

Not only was Rokudo Madara unharmed, but he also rose higher and higher, almost flying out of the attack range of the True Thousand Hands.

"Heh, your True Several Thousand Hands technique, which combines with the Sage Art, can indeed threaten me."

A cold, mocking laugh fell from the sky:

"It has enough strength, but not enough agility. How could such a bulky thing possibly hit me?"

Uchiha Senmon frowned deeply.

Indeed, the True Several Thousand Hands would be invincible against behemoths like the Tailed Beasts and Susanoo, but given the size difference between the True Several Thousand Hands and Six Paths Madara, it would be an understatement to say that it was like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.

"call!"

With a sudden whooshing sound, a Truth-Seeking Ball was flung out by Madara Rokudo, crashing down with lightning speed.

The arms of the True Thousand Hands were like wings, surrounding Uchiha Senmon and Jeanne.

"boom!"

Although their lives were temporarily safe, hundreds more arms had been blown off, and Uchiha Senmon's expression changed.

It was just a black sphere the size of a fist, yet it was like antimatter, with a power more than ten times greater than the nuclear bomb that I had stored in Kamui.

What is the origin of this thing?!

Uchiha Senmon looked up and saw another Truth-Seeking Ball condensing behind Six Paths Madara.

With his Mangekyou Sharingan, he could see clearly that there were five Truth-Seeking Balls behind Madara Uchiha.

Five?

In a moment of inspiration, the Uchiha Sage challenged Madara Uchiha, asking him:

"The Divine Tree collapsed, and in its place, Madara forcibly activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi using his Rinnegan, severely damaging you! Right, Madara!"

The Uchiha Sage observed with remarkable precision that, whether it was the moment Madara absorbed the Divine Tree and ascended to immortality, or the murals on Turtle Island, there were a total of nine black spheres behind him.

After activating Infinite Tsukuyomi, Madara now only has five stars left, clearly weakened.

"Heh, you're not Hashirama, so I don't need to go all out to deal with you."

Madara Uchiha remained silent for a moment, then casually admitted it:

"Only by allowing the original Divine Tree Flower to perform Infinite Tsukuyomi can the fruit be made more perfect. However, there's no other way. The shortcomings will be made up for by the power of the Divine Tree within you, and the Divine Tree Fruit will still ripen!"

With a loud roar, Madara Rokudo threw several more Truth-Seeking Balls at True Thousand Hands.

"You'll all be mine soon!"

boom!

boom!

Uchiha Senmon gritted his teeth and activated the True Several Thousand Hands technique, forming an impenetrable defensive circle, but he was still hit by the Truth-Seeking Ball and felt a sweet taste in his throat.

Even though the True Thousand Hands technique possesses formidable defensive and regenerative capabilities, if Madara continues to kite her like this, the balance of power will shift, and the situation will become increasingly precarious.

"We must drag Madara into the range of the True Several Thousand Hands attack, otherwise..." Uchiha Senmon murmured anxiously.

However, True Several Thousand Hands cannot fly. Even if it could, with its size, catching up with Six Paths Madara in the air would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

"Should we drag that arrogant, three-eyed bastard down to earth? Leave that to me."

Just then, Jeanne looked up at the sky, her spirits firm, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"Are you going to open the final gate of the Eight Gates Formation? But..."

Having received the power of the Divine Tree from Lady Izanami, Uchiha Senmon, Inaba, and Jouna briefly learned about each other's abilities during a pre-battle meeting.

The Uchiha Sage knew very well what a terrible price the girl would have to pay to open the Gate of Death.

"My wish is to combine the five Olympic rings into a wreath to eliminate disputes over race and borders, but certainly not in a way that is like the Infinite Tsukuyomi, an escapist approach."

Jeanne smiled faintly, pressed her right thumb to her heart, and opened the last chakra point of the Eight Gates Formation.

"I'm called the modern Joan of Arc, but it's almost impossible for me to achieve this, so I placed my hopes in the Lord. And now, I still haven't given up on that hope."

The blue steam was turning mottled blood red, but the saintess's eyes showed no fear or hesitation, only the resolve of a martyr.

Where did Ah Ming find so many good kids?

Uchiha Senmon sighed, and one of the hands of the True Several Thousand Hands reached out.

"I understand. Please lend me a hand."

Jeanne jumped into the palm of the wooden hand, and Uchiha Senmon aimed at Madara Uchiha in the sky, throwing her out with all his might.

"The Gate of Death, open!"

A red aura suddenly rose from Jeanne's body, shaking the atmosphere and turning the night sky a fiery red.

With the boost from the True Several Thousand Hands and the Twin-Wing Chakra Cannon, a crimson comet shot straight into the sky, heading straight for Six Paths Madara.

"The crimson steam... is that the Death Gate of the Eight Inner Gates?!"

Madara exclaimed in surprise, not daring to underestimate it, and threw a Truth-Seeking Ball at the blood rainbow that was rushing straight towards him.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar as it shattered the air, the unstoppable crimson light abruptly veered off course, avoiding the Truth-Seeking Ball.

"Running under the moonlight while stepping on thin air, that's interesting."

In the blink of an eye, Jeanne had already soared to the same height as Rokudo Madara. Now her wings had retracted into her body, and she was walking in the sky entirely by relying on the powerful leg strength generated by stepping on the air after opening the Death Gate.

"Xi Xiang, one foot!"

With a powerful swing of his iron fist, a massive air cannon hurtled towards Rokudo Madara, which he narrowly avoided.

"Two legs!"

Evening Elephant is a super air cannon that forms the shape of an elephant's foot by pounding the air with its fists. It accelerates continuously, and the power and speed of each strike increase exponentially.

"Three legs!"

"Four legs!"

"Five legs!"

Even though he dodged the first kick of the Evening Elephant, Jeanne's air cannons struck Madara from all sides.

The night sky seemed to shatter like a mirror, with deafening roars exploding one after another.

"Ah! Cough, cough!"

Having withstood four consecutive attacks from the Evening Elephant, Rokudo Madara coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Is that all? Even though you're both users of the Eight Gates, you're weak and feeble compared to Hashirama's fists, you're not even worth mentioning."

Wiping the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth, Rokudo Madara gave a disdainful sneer.

"That three-eyed bastard was hit by a series of Evening Elephants and still handled it so easily. As expected, the gap between me and Lady Izanami is just too big."

Jeanne felt as if every bone and muscle in her body was breaking, and she was in excruciating pain. However, thanks to the healing power of the Hundred Healings Technique, her attack movements remained steadfast.

Now, Jeanne only has one last strike left.

"We must kick him off the plane!"

Upon realizing this, Jeanne's red aura erupted once more, faintly forming the shape of a dragon's head.

With a heavy stomp in the air, Jeanne soared to a height even closer to the moon than Madara Uchiha, burning all her power and life force together to unleash a devastating, powerful kick downwards.

"Night Kai!"

A red dragon over a thousand meters long plummeted toward Rokudo Ban at an incredible speed, the terrifying force causing the space itself to distort and fold noticeably.

"To think... he was able to get this close to Hashirama!"

Faced with Jeanne's desperate attack, Madara Rokudo was startled.

If you were to take this head-on without any warning, it would be a force that could severely injure or even kill you!

With a swift movement, Six Paths Madara was about to soar into the sky to avoid Night Guy's direct attack.

"Don't even think about escaping, Madara!"

Having kept his Mangekyou Sharingan locked onto Madara Uchiha from the ground the entire time, Senmon Uchiha naturally wouldn't let Jeanne's sacrifice go to waste. He suddenly clasped his hands together:

"Immortal Technique: Bright God Gate!"

Above Rokudo Madara's head, a series of red torii gates, overlapping in a cross shape, suddenly appeared and fell down like streaks of fire.

"Snapped!"

Madara Uchihachi stopped the Myojin Gate's descent with a single hand, but at the same time, the strongest taijutsu, Night Guy, which shatters the void, was also right in front of him.

The Myojin Gate could be easily broken by Madara Uchiha, but suppressing him for even a brief moment would be enough.

"Damn it!"

In his haste, Rokudo Madara could only transform the two Truth-Seeking Balls into a black membrane to shield himself.

"Click click click!"

The black barrier was shattered by Night Guy like a whirlwind, and then hit Six Paths Madara, knocking him down from the sky.

The six-spotted object crashed down on the True Thousand-Armed Guanyin on the ground like a meteor.

"This is the only chance!"

Uchiha Senmon's right Mangekyou Sharingan was completely red, not just because it was the color of the Sharingan, but because it represented the surging waves of emotion within him.

We've come this far, enduring so many sacrifices and hardships. We must defeat Madara here!

"Ahhh, Madara!"

Filled with righteous indignation, Uchiha Senmon roared, unleashing all his power. The terrifying force shook the earth and the sea like a natural disaster.

"A Buddha image appears on the crown of the head!"

The already enormous True Thousand Hands suddenly changed under his full power.

Not only did her body swell to a size of a thousand meters, but the Thousand-Armed Guanyin also transformed into a Buddha.

Upon closer inspection, the face of this Buddha statue is clearly that of the Lord of Mount Tai!

Although the Uchiha Sage's power was no less than that of a Kage-level deity like Lord Taisan after obtaining the power of the Divine Tree, the overwhelming power of Lord Taisan during the Asakusa Incident still left a deep and unforgettable impression on him.

When unleashing his strongest attack, the Top Transformation Buddha, Uchiha Senmon subconsciously borrowed the image of the Lord of Mount Tai.

"Hahaha, is this your strongest combined attack?!"

Having endured the Night Might, Madara Uchiha plummeted downwards uncontrollably. Although blood was flowing freely from his mouth and nose, he did not lose consciousness or become immobile.

With a difficult somersault in the air, Madara Rokudo looked at the oncoming Buddha's palm, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit for the first time, and he laughed wildly with a touch of madness:

"Immortal Cultivator, I acknowledge your power! Of all those I've fought, aside from Hashirama, no one can defeat you!"

"In that case, I, Uchiha Madara, will unleash my full power!"

The three Truth-Seeking Balls floating behind Rokudo Madara spun around and merged into a black orb the size of a soccer ball, which then instantly expanded to a size of 100 meters.

Expanding Seeking the Dao Jewel!

Like a black hole, a black celestial body capable of sucking in everything, even light, crashed straight into the Uchiha Sage's all-out attack on the Top Transformation Buddha.

……

……

……

The big sound is loud, the elephant is invisible.

The moment the two unprecedented forces collided, it seemed as if no sound or change occurred.

But in the next instant, boundless white light spread, enveloping the entire Shizuoka Prefecture, no, the entire Chubu region.

"Boom boom boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, the sudden backfilling of hundreds of millions of tons of seawater created a powerful and resounding scene, like the beginning of creation, the opening of a new chapter in history.

From the coast of Shizuoka Prefecture to the neighboring Yamanashi and Nagano Prefectures, a sinkhole has been dug out, connecting with the Pacific Ocean to the east.

It's almost like cutting Japan's Honshu Island in half!

On the south bank of the sinkhole, countless broken wooden logs float and sink on the sea surface.

"Hoo, ha, ha!"

Covered in wounds, Uchiha Senmon stood on a piece of driftwood, his face deathly pale. He had never been so weak before, and he could barely stand.

"Where's Madara? Did you defeat him? He's not dead, is he...?"

Just then, the sea churned, and a figure emerged from the waves.

He used one arm to lock Senmon Uchiha's throat and lifted him into the air.

"Ugh, Madara...you really are..." the weak Uchiha Senmon said with difficulty.

Madara's body was also in a terrible state, with half of his right side blown apart and covered in blood. However, there was granulation tissue growing in the wound, repairing the injury.

"The Immortal Gate... Jeanne, that's the name, right...?"

With his newly grown left hand, Madara pulled the unconscious Jeanne out of the water.

"Well done! I haven't felt this excited since the battle with Hashirama."

"However, I have won! Now I will sacrifice you all to the divine tree, so that it may truly blossom and bear fruit!"
