Starting as a pirate, he rose to become the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society.

Chapter 391 Madara Uchiha faces the Phoenix!

Nami instantly opened the seventh gate, and a terrifying aura enveloped the entire area.

With a roar, she exerted force with her feet, using no techniques like Body Flicker Technique or Shave Step, but only the power of the Eight Gates, charging towards Uchiha Itachi at an extremely fast speed like a ferocious beast.

Wherever it passed, it was like a hurricane, with earth, rocks, and wood flying everywhere and air currents surging.

Itachi Uchiha naturally recognized this technique, and while he was surprised, he activated Susanoo once again.

The Eight Gates Formation is a forbidden technique with extremely serious side effects. How could this woman open seven gates right away? Does that make sense? Isn't she afraid of dying?

As soon as Susanoo appeared, Nami had already arrived in front of Itachi Uchiha.

Without a word, he launched a flying kick and roared, "Phoenix Seal!!!"

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Nami's kick instantly transformed into a raptor's claw, which was engulfed in blazing blue flames!

The surging power was terrifying. Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo shattered on the spot. Before it even made contact with the kick, Itachi was already unable to stand and was sent flying.

The process of flying backwards was quite terrifying. The shattered Susanoo continuously disintegrated in the air, carving out a trench more than ten meters deep in the ground wherever it passed. It continuously crashed into and destroyed the dense, towering trees and rocks behind it. After flying for about two hundred meters, the shattered Susanoo slammed heavily into a mountain of medium size and exploded completely. Uchiha Itachi coughed up blood and was trapped in the soil and rocks, his breath weak.

This sudden turn of events jolted Sasuke out of the Tsukuyomi genjutsu, and the turbulent air currents had already lifted him into the air.

However, the next second, he was grabbed by the back of his neck by Nami's claws in mid-air, and in no time, the two of them fell to the ground together.

"It's really embarrassing. You can't handle your brother when he gets serious, Sasuke," Nami teased with a smile.

In her current state, it's impossible to tell that she's unleashing the Eight Gates; it's as if her body is completely unaffected.

However, as she spoke, blue flames began to burn uncontrollably on her body. Clearly, she was actually quite injured, but the phoenix had repaired her injuries instantly.

"Lady Nami." Sasuke Uchiha felt a little ashamed for a moment.

Before the two could say anything more, Kisame Hoshigaki, wielding his Samehada sword, rushed over and said, "Looks like you're worth getting chopped down!!!"

Madara Uchiha frowned as he watched this scene and said, "Don't be careless!"

However, it was already too late. Nami did unleash extremely powerful and terrifying chakra, which was triggered by the Eight Gates. But in reality, the Eight Gates was still a very pure taijutsu, and chakra was just a manifestation of it.

With just a glance at Kisame Hoshigaki, Nami slipped, took a slight lunge, and raised her hand to strike forward with a frequency imperceptible to the naked eye, as if she had instantly transformed into the Thousand-Armed Guanyin.

"Six Styles Secret Technique: Flying Finger Spear: Thousand Cuts!!!" Nami shouted.

The Flying Finger Spear, empowered by the Eight Gates, was terrifying. It rapidly rubbed against the air, creating a fiery torrent like a fireworks curtain. The power of the finger spear shattered the space in front of it, creating ripples and cracks. The area covered was extremely large, instantly encompassing the entire hundred-meter radius around Kisame Hoshigaki.

At this point, Kisame Hoshigaki still thought that the power that was bursting out was chakra. Holding Samehada, he prepared to devour all of this chakra as he always had.

As soon as Samehada swung and struck the airflow, he realized something was wrong!

This isn't chakra at all; it's pure power and energy generated by taijutsu!

In an instant, the Samehada sword, a treasured weapon passed down through generations in Kirigakure, was riddled with holes by Nami's endless finger gun combo. Kisame Hoshigaki, who used Samehada to parry, felt as if he had been stabbed countless times all over his body, and his bones were shattered.

The more confident he was when he arrived, the more pathetic he became when he was sent flying. In the blink of an eye, Kisame Hoshigaki was covered in blood, and he was violently knocked to the ground, rolling dozens of times until he was like a piece of minced meat, lying there motionless, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

Obito Uchiha was dumbfounded by what he saw. He had wanted to join the fight, but Kisame Hoshigaki was quicker, otherwise he might not have been able to use his Kamui!

"What nonsense is this? Are you a fish-man?" Nami muttered in confusion after easily defeating Kisame.

Too lazy to pay attention to the already dead Kisame, Nami's gaze quickly focused on Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha still exuded the aura of a powerful figure. He frowned slightly and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not here to cause trouble. I hope to pay a visit to the Spirit Lord of Ryuchi Cave."

"Looking for him?" Nami cracked her knuckles and grinned. "What bad luck. He's gone on a long trip and won't be back anytime soon. Come back another time. Of course, that's only if you make sure you come back another time."

As soon as she finished speaking, without any intention of saying anything more to Madara Uchiha, Nami unleashed a terrifying aura and accelerated with brute force, rushing straight towards Madara Uchiha.

"Hmph, don't treat me like one of their trash!" Madara Uchiha sneered upon seeing this.

An equally terrifying burst of chakra erupted from Madara Uchiha's body, and almost instantly, Susanoo enveloped Madara Uchiha within it.

Even with the naked eye, it's clear that although Madara Uchiha's Susanoo is not in its complete form, its solidification is much stronger than Itachi Uchiha's.

As Susanoo appeared, Madara Uchiha clenched his fists and shouted, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!!"

Madara Uchiha's Fire Release technique had clearly reached its peak. Although Great Fire Annihilation was a B-rank ninjutsu, he managed to unleash a forbidden-level power in his hands.

A burst of scorching flames erupted, instantly forming a wall of fire hundreds of meters long and at least seventy or eighty meters high in front of him. The terrifying heat distorted the air and melted the ground, creating a scorching atmosphere.

Faced with such raging flames, Nami showed no hesitation or doubt whatsoever. She stepped in, and the aura of the Eight Gates that erupted from her body instantly suppressed the surrounding flames, preventing the raging fire from getting close to her.

At the same time, her incredibly slender right arm, which seemed to have almost no muscle, pulled back, and in an instant, her left foot stepped out in perfect sync with the movement. Her rapidly advancing figure came to an abrupt halt. This pause alone ignited the air, and the shockwave emanated from her, further dispersing the surrounding flames.

Immediately following, the energy rose from her feet, spiraled up her legs, and flowed into her spine. In an instant, it climbed up to her right arm, and the surging, terrifying power condensed into her small fist, which was burning with blue flames.

This technique of exerting force is exactly the same as Bane's!

"Whirlwind Steel-Cutting Fist!!!"

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, he threw a punch, a whirlwind swept past, extinguishing all the flames. Then, with the power of the punch amplified by the Eight Gates technique, it slammed into Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

Despite the Susanoo's isolation, Madara Uchiha still felt the terrifying power of the punch. He then saw fine cracks appear on the Susanoo, clearly indicating that it couldn't withstand the punch at all!

If we further unleash our eye power and enhance Susanoo, we should still be able to withstand it.

However, Madara Uchiha did not do that in the end. Instead, he used the power of the punch to retreat rapidly before Susanoo could collapse. In just two breaths, Susanoo exploded in mid-air.

Madara Uchiha landed lightly on a thick tree trunk.

At this moment, he no longer looked down on Nami, but regarded her as a worthy opponent.

Therefore, Madara Uchiha raised his chin, maintaining his arrogance, and asked in a deep voice, "This kind of power is enough to prove that you are no ordinary person. Little girl, state your name!"

Nami, still at her peak, wasn't in a hurry to pursue anything. Instead, she looked at Madara Uchiha and said fearlessly, "If you want to know someone's identity, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? You rude guy!"

"Hahahaha!" Madara Uchiha laughed loudly, then declared, "My name is Madara Uchiha!"

"I see. You're Uchiha Madara? No wonder you're a reanimated body." Nami clicked her tongue.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Although her tone seemed somewhat disdainful, her gaze became even more vigilant and serious.

According to Bane, there are not many people in the ninja world who can catch his eye, and Uchiha Madara is undoubtedly one of them, or even the most outstanding one.

Perhaps in terms of strength, Madara Uchiha can no longer reach the back of Bane, but such a powerful figure deserves respect, and Nami can't reach the back of Bane either.

After sizing up Madara Uchiha, Nami introduced herself: "My name is Nami, the Phoenix of Ryuchi Cave!"

"Phoenix!?" Madara Uchiha looked at Nami with some confusion.

Is it a nickname, or something else?

However, it was clear that Nami had no intention of explaining. With her arms outstretched and blue flames burning fiercely, under the incredulous gaze of Madara Uchiha, Nami floated up from the air and transformed into a blue flame phoenix, both sacred and majestic.

"Beast Mimicry Ninjutsu... No... It's not a Transformation Technique either, what is this?" Madara Uchiha clearly couldn't understand this situation at all.

Meanwhile, Nami's aura grew even stronger in the air. She suddenly swung her arms and accelerated, crashing directly into Uchiha Madara.

"Eight Gates Formation - Seventh Gate - Gate of Shock - Heavenly Phoenix!!!"

This technique is one of the seventh taijutsu recorded in the Eight Gates Scroll. It was already very popular with Nami, who is the phoenix. At the same time, she further enhanced the power of this technique by using her true phoenix form.

This technique originally relied on the Eight Gates to create terrifyingly high-temperature flames through high-speed friction with the air, transforming the user into a phoenix and slamming into the enemy.

At this moment, the flames generated by the high temperature adhered to Nami's blue flames, making her appear as a blend of blue and orange. The gentle blue flames, which were not inherently very aggressive, gathered in this orange flame, which further enhanced the temperature and power of the flames.

Furthermore, the phoenix's body swelled in the wind, and in an instant, it became as large as a tailed beast!

Wherever the phoenix passed, the sky seemed to be set ablaze, with rings of flames spreading like ripples, blotting out the sun and exuding a majestic aura of a golden crow soaring through the sky!

Madara Uchiha also felt this terrifying power and, without hesitation, directly activated Susanoo to its complete form, the God of War state.

In an instant, he was enveloped by Susanoo, a war god the size of a mountain, covered in armor, with wings on its back and wielding a large sword!

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Phoenix roared past and crashed headlong into the enormous war god. Uchiha Madara, in the form of Susanoo, wielded a long sword, roared, and slashed down at the oncoming phoenix.

The two forces collided, causing a massive earthquake that shook the earth and caused a powerful tremor to erupt once again in the area where Ryūchi-dō is located.

A terrifying surge of energy and chakra turbulence swept out, sending Uchiha Sasuke, the uncertain fate of Kisame Hoshigaki, as well as Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu, and Uchiha Itachi, who was trapped in the mountains hundreds of meters away, flying indiscriminately.

If your strength isn't high enough, you don't even have the right to watch from the sidelines!

Madara Uchiha's Complete Susanoo was indeed powerful enough. At this moment, even with a light swing of his long sword, he could easily cut through a mountain peak, demonstrating its might.

Nami's Eight Gates technique is also quite strong. Facing the complete Susanoo, she held her own against the God of War's greatsword in her phoenix form.

However, after this brief stalemate, Madara Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan began to spin.

"Misfortune!!!"

Once the Mangekyou Sharingan is awakened, it grants a unique eye technique, such as Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi.

Madara Uchiha also possessed this eye technique, but he rarely used it.

But at this moment, he used it!

The power of the Kaleidoscope to alter reality erupted instantly, causing the originally aggressive Nami to suddenly become intangible. It was this moment of intangibility that allowed Madara Uchiha's Greatsword to break through the surrounding energy resistance and slash fiercely at Nami's phoenix figure. The sharp and terrifying slash directly cut the enormous phoenix, which resembled a tailed beast, in two in the sky!
