"Thwack!!!" The shuriken pierced directly through Uchiha Madara's body, and his chest instantly exploded into fragments!
"I can't harm this shadow, but it can attack me…?" Looking at the wound on his chest caused by the shuriken, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but recall what Black Zetsu had said: this Uchiha Kaoru's ninjutsu was quite peculiar… It seemed to be true now…
"What's the matter? Surprised? Seeing that expression on your face makes me quite happy…" While Madara was lost in thought, Kaoru's displeased voice came from not far away.
"Hmph, no matter how peculiar your ninjutsu is, if I eliminate you yourself, it will all be useless!" Madara roared. His figure instantly vanished from sight. The next moment he reappeared behind Kaoru!
"Die!!!" Madara unleashed an incredibly powerful punch.
"BOOM!!!" The gust of wind from the punch swept through the space in front of him, but he didn't feel the expected impact. This punch… he had missed!
"How could this be…" Madara's Rinnegan widened in surprise. He found that the person standing before him was no longer Kaoru, but the same black shadow from before!
"Uchiha Madara, where are you aiming…" Kaoru's calm voice rang out. Kaoru was now standing where Madara had been moments ago, waving at him.
"Uchiha Madara, where are you aiming…" Kaoru's calm voice rang out. Kaoru was now standing where Madara had been moments ago, waving at him.
"I see. You can swap positions with the shadow…" Looking at the spot where Kaoru stood, Uchiha Madara, with his rich combat experience, instantly understood everything.
"Isn't this a very interesting ninjutsu?" A smile flickered across Kaoru's lips. He moved instantly, charging directly at Uchiha Madara.
"He's attacking head-on? He truly doesn't know his place!!!" Seeing Kaoru charging directly at him, Uchiha Madara's face showed dissatisfaction, as if he felt underestimated. He prepared to charge forward but then reconsidered.
If he charged forward, the shadow would be behind him. If Kaoru swapped positions with the shadow at that moment, Kaoru could attack him from behind again. Madara Uchiha didn't want to be toyed with by the shadow a second time!
With this thought, Uchiha Madara clenched his fists, standing his ground, ensuring the shadow remained within his line of sight, and waited for Kaoru's attack.
"You're afraid to move rashly because I might swap positions with the shadow, huh? Uchiha Madara, you're quite cautious…" A light laugh echoed. In an instant, Kaoru had already reached Uchiha Madara.
"A lowly ant dares to shout at me!!!"
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!!!"
Amidst Madara Uchiha's roar, he instantly formed complex hand seals. With a single breath, he unleashed a sky-shattering torrent of high-temperature flames, sealing off all paths in front of Madara Uchiha like a vast wall, with layers of scorching heat waves spreading throughout the entire area.
"Majestic Destroyer Flame, huh…" Kaoru, who was well aware of Madara Uchiha's abilities, maintained his smile. His Mangekyō Sharingan spun rapidly, endless dōjutsu power overflowing!
"Forbidden Secret Technique: Shadow Realm Death Dance!"
The Shadow Realm Death Dance, the Shadow's S-rank ultimate technique, erupted from Kaoru! Suddenly, a shadow of Kaoru appeared beside Uchiha Madara. Not only that, but Kaoru's own form was also shrouded in darkness, becoming intangible!
The flames passed directly through these shadows, causing no damage!
"Damn it, even his true body has become a shadow!!!" Madara grumbled. He immediately took action, spreading his hands wide. A massive repulsive force erupted outwards from Madara Uchiha's center!
"Universal Pull!"
"Just like Nagato back then… But even Universal Pull is useless!"
As Kaoru's words fell, the shadow flickered like a phantom. A clear slicing sound rang out. Uchiha Madara's body showed no wounds. In an instant, the shadow disappeared, and Kaoru appeared behind Uchiha Madara.
"So that's how it is… by becoming a shadow, you completely ignore attacks…" Feeling immense pain within his body, Madara Uchiha immediately reacted. Just as he was about to turn and attack Kaoru, he suddenly felt a violent gust of wind!
This strong wind made Madara Uchiha unable to open his eyes, and even his body felt unstable.
"Wind Style… No, this is…" Before Madara Uchiha could figure it out, he was met with an attack that tore through the air, a fierce spinning kick roaring like a beast!
"Dragon Tail Sweep!!!"
BOOM!!!
Caught off guard, Madara Uchiha was instantly hit at point-blank range by Lee's Dragon Tail Sweep. His entire body was sent flying like a cannonball, passing through a dense patch of trees in the rear, carving out a massive gully, and finally embedding himself in a sheer cliff face.
Black and White Zetsu felt their vision blur. The once imposing and arrogant Uchiha Madara was blasted into the cliff face, with countless trees collapsing in his path.
"Heh, if the legends of the ninja world are only this strong… then I'll be very disappointed." Looking at the large hole Madara Uchiha had created in the cliff face hundreds of meters away, Kaoru said calmly.
Kaoru knew, of course, that Uchiha Madara couldn't possibly only have this much strength. He said this deliberately to provoke him, to make him unleash his true power.
"Such peculiar ninjutsu… Excellent taijutsu. To have made me this disheveled…"
Countless torn paper scraps reassembled to form Madara's body. Even after enduring both the Shadow Realm Death Dance and the Dragon Tail Sweep, two ultimate techniques, without any defense, Uchiha Madara's body was pulverized. However, due to the Edo Tensei, his body was immortal, and thus Madara Uchiha reappeared before Kaoru.
"Heh, if you're just going to play these petty games… even an Edo Tensei body might not last long…" Kaoru's lips curved slightly. His Mangekyō Sharingan flickered, and his figure vanished once more.
In the next moment, Kaoru appeared before Uchiha Madara and slammed his palm towards Madara's body!
"Heavenly Lightning Break!!!"
BOOM!!!
An explosion sounded, and the swirling dust obscured everything visible.
"The Uchiha fan that can reflect all physical attacks, huh? Your movements are quite fast…" Looking at the giant fan, imprinted with a three-tomoe mark, that had appeared out of thin air before him, it had barely blocked his Blind Monk's E Skill: Heavenly Lightning Break.
"Such astonishing taijutsu. How did you get so close to me…"
A deep, resonant voice emerged. Feeling the immense force transmitted from the Uchiha fan in his hand, Uchiha Madara was inwardly shocked. And how had Uchiha Kaoru suddenly appeared beside him? Although he could swap positions with the shadow, there was clearly no shadow beside him just now…
"Could it be…" At this moment, Uchiha Madara suddenly thought, the only one in the ninja world capable of such speed was the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Jutsu!
Staring with his Rinnegan, Uchiha Madara scanned his entire body and finally discovered a black curse mark on his arm!
"This is…" Madara's Rinnegan contracted sharply, and his face instantly turned furious. "You damned brat, how dare you place a Flying Thunder God formula on me!!!"
