Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

Rumble.

Amidst Ban's cold laughter, the stone statue collapsed, but before he could even rejoice, the broken statue rose again and was restored at an astonishing speed.

This is what makes this stone statue so magical; its power comes from the Tenseigan. As long as Tsunade's Tenseigan doesn't disappear, the statue will continue to exist, and even if it's broken, it can be repaired by her childlike power.

It is almost indestructible.

Bang bang bang!

The stone statue, having returned with renewed force, launched another fierce attack on Susanoo. Its fists rained down on Susanoo, causing the latter to stagger and develop numerous cracks.

The Hamura statue and Susanoo are essentially a contest between Tsunade and Madara's child powers.

Clearly, the power of the Tenseigan once again triumphed over the Rinnegan.

boom!

With a loud bang, Susanoo finally gave out and was smashed by the stone statue's punch, disintegrating into countless chakra particles that scattered in all directions.

Whoosh.

Madara escaped before Susanoo was destroyed. After landing on the ground, he immediately clasped his hands together and shouted, "Ha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he spread his hands, and a black sphere formed by highly concentrated chakra appeared between his palms. It floated above the Hamura statue, emitting an extremely powerful gravitational pull.

Earth-shattering Star.

This technique, performed by Madara, the one who awakened the Rinnegan, is far more powerful than Nagato's.

In an instant, the ground cracked, and even the Hamura stone statue could not escape the force of gravity, being enveloped by a large amount of mud and stones and flying into the sky.

Just as the planet Chibaku Tensei was about to be completed, forming a giant rock sphere that sealed the Hamura statue.

stop!

A green beam of light shot from afar, instantly piercing through the core of the planet Chibaku Tensei. As the gravity sphere disintegrated, countless rocks, soil, and the Hamura statue fell back to the ground.

Swish.

Tsunade waved her hand, releasing the summons from the stone statue, and then floated lightly to the ground.

She wanted to personally deal with Madara Uchiha.

At this moment, Madara, having exhausted his chakra, was kneeling on the ground, head down, panting heavily, looking like he was at his last gasp.

"My grandfather failed to kill you back then, but instead you bit off pieces of his flesh and awakened the Rinnegan. As for himself, after the battle at the Valley of the End, he also contracted a serious illness due to uncontrolled cell division and eventually died in agony."

As Tsunade spoke, she walked toward Madara Uchiha. "Now, I will fulfill my grandfather's unfinished wish, which is to kill you, end your ridiculous conspiracy, and make this world a better place."

Before she finished speaking, she raised her hand again, intending to deliver a fatal blow to Madara.

It's now!

Madara abruptly raised his head, his Rinnegan staring intently at Tsunade, a glint of killing intent flashing within him.

From the moment he began, he had been waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect opportunity to unleash the Wheel of Death.

Just when Tsunade thought she had the victory in the bag and became careless, that was the moment when Madara launched a desperate counterattack and completely reversed the battle.

Swish swish swish swish.

In an instant, four "shadows" identical to Madara separated from his body under the power of Limbo and rushed towards Tsunade at an extremely fast speed.

The power of these shadows lies not only in the fact that each one possesses power equal to that of the main body, but also in the fact that they are invisible and exist in some other dimension.

Yes, it can neither be seen nor perceived.

Only those with the Rinnegan can see the shadows created by Limbo: Border Jail.

With four shadowy figures attacking Tsunade at such close range, Madara was 100% confident that he could kill the woman.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

It was just as Madara expected.

Despite the shadows that appeared around her, Tsunade's gaze remained furrowed as she stared at Madara's true form, seemingly oblivious to the shadows.

Madara's lips curled into a smile, preparing to savor Tsunade's death.

To his surprise, Tsunade suddenly smiled too.

Swish.

Two arms extended from her shoulders, bringing her total number of arms to four. They attacked simultaneously, successfully blocking the attack from Limbo's shadow, leaving Madara dumbfounded.

"I sensed something was wrong when I couldn't kill you before. Is this the ultimate ability of the Rinnegan? In my opinion, it's nothing special, no different from a shadow clone."

Tsunade said coldly. Before she finished speaking, a burst of green energy erupted from her body, instantly engulfing the four Limbo shadows and melting them from head to toe into nothingness.

Tsunade's guess was correct.

The Limbo: Border Jail technique is considered a "superb skill for crushing weaklings," capable of instantly killing any enemy below the Six Paths level, no matter how many come. However, in the eyes of a Six Paths level expert, it's nothing more than a slightly more advanced shadow clone.

"How is that possible?"

Madara Uchiha's heart sank to the bottom. He had endured this entire battle, and his trump card had been completely countered by Tsunade.

Could it be that the woman's eyes could also see his shadow in the grave?

Ban only guessed half right.

As an eye similar to the Rinnegan, Tsunade could indeed vaguely see traces of Limbo's shadow, but at the same time, as a Six Paths level powerhouse who had mastered Sage Mode, she was able to sense the shadow's existence.

The combination of these two methods ultimately made Madara's shadow nowhere to hide from Tsunade.

"Uchiha Madara, is there anything you'd like to say before you die?"

Tsunade raised one hand, and Truth-Seeking Balls condensed in her hand, forming a green longsword.

Madara's Limbo: Border Jail has a cooldown period. Before Tsunade killed him, he had no way to summon a clone to die in his place.

"Tsunade, I must admit that I underestimated you from the very beginning. Of all the ninjas I have fought so far, I, Madara Uchiha, would call you the strongest!"

Madara slowly stood up, his gaze fixed intently on Tsunade, his fighting spirit surging. "That's precisely why I, Uchiha Madara, will not easily admit defeat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, driven by an intense will to survive, Madara unleashed all the power within him without reservation, summoning the complete Susanoo.

A Susanoo, over a hundred meters tall, appeared on the ground outside Kirigakure. The aura it exuded caused even the villagers far away to show fear and panic.

"Tsunade, this time, can you save your village again?"

Madara stood in the space above Susanoo's head and spoke loudly. His plan was to destroy Kirigakure and cause a large number of casualties, forcing Tsunade to intervene and treat the wounded.

Then he could take the opportunity to escape, and return to take revenge after he finds Tsunade's weakness.

"Uchiha Madara, I told you, I will kill you. No matter how much you struggle, the outcome will not change."

Tsunade floated into the air, her voice cold and sharp.

As she spoke, all the Truth-Seeking Balls around her body gathered together and eventually converged in Tsunade's palm, forming a yellow chakra lightsaber.

What makes this lightsaber special is that it's a little too big.

It is several hundred meters long.

Reincarnation Eye Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.

"drink!"

With a shout from Tsunade, her greatsword slashed down, splitting the complete Susanoo in two from head to toe, much to Madara Uchiha's horrified expression!

boom.

The Susanoo, which stood between heaven and earth like a war god, was cleaved in two by Tsunade's sword before it could make any move, turning into countless chakra specks.

Golden Wheel Rebirth Explosion.

This is the strongest ability of the Tenseigan. In the original work, Toneri Otsutsuki even used it to split the moon in two with a single sword strike.

Clearly, Tsunade intentionally controlled the power of this attack, not using her full strength. Otherwise, not only would Susanoo be destroyed, but the entire Land of Water would likely have been split in two.

On the ground in the distance, Ye Cang and the others, Black Zetsu, and the villagers of Kirigakure were all dumbfounded. At this moment, everyone's mind was filled with the dazzling yellow giant sword that pierced through the heavens and earth, nothing else mattered.

"what!"

Madara Uchiha let out a scream, and he was not spared either. His arm and leg were severed by the aftershock of the sword energy, and he fell from the sky.

No, we can't let Madara die here like this.

Black Zetsu snapped out of his daze, hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to act. Even if it meant exposing the power his mother had left within him, he was determined to save Uchiha Madara.

Otherwise, if Madara were killed by Tsunade and the Rinnegan fell into her hands, it would mean that Black Zetsu would lose all his bargaining chips and could no longer hope to revive his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

281. Recovering the Golem: The Dragon Cave Incident

A giant yellow sword pierced the heavens and the earth, splitting the over 100-meter-tall Susanoo in two. Madara Uchiha lost an arm, bleeding profusely, and fell from the sky.

Damn it.

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly, about to make a move, willing to do anything to save Madara, or at least preserve his Rinnegan.

Just then, a vortex-like fluctuation suddenly appeared in the nearby space, and a man wearing an orange tiger-striped mask appeared.

It's Uchiha Obito.

Whoosh.

He leaped up and caught Madara Uchiha in mid-air, then unhesitatingly activated Kamui again, carrying the latter away from the place.

Swish.

Almost at the same moment Obito and Madara disappeared, a golden sword aura swept past where the two had been standing, missed its target, and finally struck the ground, creating a huge trench that stretched for hundreds of meters.

"Did they escape?"

Tsunade landed on the nearby ground, her brows furrowed. She hadn't expected her opponent to have a backup plan.

Huh, there's someone else?

She quickly sensed Black Zetsu's presence, abruptly turned her head, and looked with her Reincarnation Eyes toward Black Zetsu's hiding place.

We've been discovered?

Black Zetsu was also startled, its expression changing drastically. It was known that its greatest skill was concealing its presence; when it didn't want to reveal itself, no one could detect it.
