As he spoke, Itachi Uchiha's chakra surged, scattering the surrounding dust.
In the next moment, a semi-complete Susanoo enveloped Itachi Uchiha. Crimson armor, the Yasakani no Magatama in its left hand, and the Totsuka Blade in its right—the Susanoo, described as invincible by White Zetsu in the original work, wielding two divine treasures, appeared!
"Susanoo… I truly didn't expect it. To think that in this era, someone could still master this ninjutsu. Itachi Uchiha, you've given me quite a surprise. It looks like I can have some fun now…"
As soon as the words fell, Madara Uchiha, not to be outdone, activated his Susanoo. It was also not a complete form, and a sapphire glow instantly enveloped Madara Uchiha, matching Itachi's Susanoo in height.
Holding two swords, Madara Uchiha's Susanoo immediately adopted an offensive stance and roared, "My descendant, now let me see what level you're at!!!"
At this moment, outside Konoha Village, two Susanoo, one red and one blue, stood facing each other, drawing everyone's attention.
"The Uchiha clan… truly are a bunch of prodigies!!!" Seeing this scene, even the Third Hokage felt that he couldn't intervene in this battle.
However, Madara and Itachi were not here for a display. After a brief standoff, Itachi, controlling Susanoo, charged towards Madara.
Seeing Itachi's move, Madara showed no weakness. He raised both swords and directly met Uchiha Itachi!
Although Susanoo seemed a bit slow when moving due to its massive size, in reality, the two giants quickly collided.
Upon contact, Madara Uchiha raised the two katanas in his hands high and swung them towards Itachi's Susanoo. Itachi Uchiha raised his right-hand shield, and sword and shield met instantly!
"BOOM!!!" A massive explosion sounded. The residual shockwave from Susanoo instantly toppled surrounding trees and houses. The Anbu ninja nearby were simply blown away, unable to do anything!
"This is…" As soon as they made contact, Madara Uchiha felt something was wrong. The massive slashes from his two katanas had not been released at all; instead, they had solidified on Itachi's Susanoo's shield and bounced back!
"Bang!!!" Rebuffed by the force of his own slashes, Madara Uchiha was actually sent reeling back first!
"That's right, it's the Yasakani no Magatama!!!"
A look of surprise appeared on Madara Uchiha's face. But before he could recover, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade also made their move!
"Mystic Palm Technique!!!" As Tsunade shouted, she completely released the Yin Seal on her forehead. The diamond-shaped seal instantly disappeared, and black runes spread across Tsunade's face.
Activating the Mystic Palm Technique allowed Tsunade to unleash more powerful ninjutsu and forbidden jutsu. Furthermore, with chakra infused throughout her body, her taijutsu and brute strength would instantly increase severalfold!
"Hah!!!" Tsunade, having activated the Mystic Palm Technique, delivered a heavy punch towards Madara Uchiha's Susanoo. On the other side, the Adamantine Nyoi-bō in the Third Hokage's hand rapidly lengthened and thickened, striking towards Madara Uchiha's Susanoo!
"BOOM!!!" The repelling force of the Yasakani no Magatama, Tsunade's strength, and Hiruzen Sarutobi's power—these three forces combined actually repelled Madara Uchiha's Susanoo dozens of meters instantly!
Surrounding trees were directly snapped. However, Madara Uchiha, within Susanoo, was not harmed in the slightest. After all, he was still protected by Susanoo. As long as its defenses weren't breached, he would be fine.
"Finally, he's been pushed a little further away from Konoha…" Seeing Madara Uchiha repelled, Itachi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief.
"You guys are quite capable…" After regaining his balance, Madara Uchiha's face finally showed a solemn expression. He then focused his gaze on Itachi Uchiha.
"Especially you, I never expected to see the Yasakani no Magatama in your Susanoo. It brings back memories…"
Saying this, Madara Uchiha's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said sternly, "In that case, Yasakani no Magatama… I'll take it without hesitation!!!"
"You'll need the skill for that!" Itachi replied coldly, then looked at Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Very good. He's finally moved a bit further away from Konoha Village. Two Hokage-sama, please distract him. I have a technique… that might be able to defeat Madara Uchiha directly!!!"
"Understood!!!" Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi replied simultaneously.
"Earth Style: Mud River!!!" With a fierce shout, Hiruzen Sarutobi formed hand seals and slammed his hands on the ground. Instantly, a large area beneath Madara Uchiha's feet softened, and then Madara Uchiha and his Susanoo sank into it entirely.
"Earth Style: Earth Shore Return!!!" At the same time, Tsunade stomped on the ground, and a massive crack instantly extended from in front of her to beneath Madara Uchiha's feet.
"There's an opening below!" Hiruzen Sarutobi seized the opportunity, instantly forming hand seals again. "Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet Jutsu!"
From the massive crack created by Tsunade, giant dragon-shaped earth bullets suddenly emerged, piercing directly through Madara Uchiha's Susanoo and heading towards his body!
"Sigh…"
In Rōran, seeing Sāra's helpless gaze and Wan'er's plea, Kaoru sighed helplessly. He gently took her hand and activated the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, instantly appearing on the altar.
Upon reaching the altar, Sāra closed her eyes and began reciting a complex and lengthy incantation.
However, at this moment, a dozen puppet soldiers nearby noticed the three of them on the altar and immediately charged forward, attempting to kill these three unexpected intruders.
Seeing the puppets aggressively attacking her, Sāra's face instantly turned even more pallid. She wasn't truly foolish; seeing these puppets, who even attacked her, the Queen of Rōran, directly, her heart instantly turned cold. It seemed Anrokuzan was not only using her but also didn't care about her life.
"Amaterasu!!!"
But before these dozen puppets could get close, Kaoru's Mangekyō Sharingan emitted a peculiar light. Black flames erupted, instantly engulfing the dozen puppet soldiers in flames.
Kaoru's lips curved upwards as he murmured, "It seems the situation is clear now. Mukade should be arriving soon…"
"Before that… let's clear out the surrounding trash!" he shouted lightly. Kaoru instantly leaped forward, directly confronting the puppets ahead.
With a series of movements of his Kunai, Kaoru sliced the puppet before him into pieces. Just as he was about to face the next one, he suddenly heard a sharp cry.
At some unknown time, Wan'er had already attacked a puppet. After a brief exchange of blows, she let out a loud cry.
Chakra surged around her body, and within a radius of several meters centered on her, black chakra bones enveloped everything.
In the next moment, the black chakra bones pressed down onto the ground, crushing the puppet Wan'er was fighting.
Not only that, but two other puppets that had approached were also pinned to the ground. Simultaneously, the ground around them instantly collapsed by one layer.
And it wasn't over yet. After the chakra collapsed the surrounding ground, it hadn't dissipated. In less than a second, the chakra trembled violently and exploded.
Instantly, three puppets turned to dust, while Wan'er, at the center of the explosion, remained unharmed.
"After transplanting the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Wan'er's combat power has truly increased terrifyingly…" Kaoru couldn't help but exclaim, witnessing Wan'er's performance.
While Kaoru was momentarily stunned, Wan'er, as if sweeping away debris, instantly dealt with several more puppets, still with effortless ease.
At this moment, two giant puppets suddenly emerged above Sāra's head and quickly attacked her.
"This is bad!" Wan'er cried out in alarm. Just as she was about to rush to Sāra's aid, Kaoru stopped her.
