Naruto touched his nose and smiled somewhat awkwardly.
[Then he threw down the Death Dagger.]
[Buzz—]
[In an instant.]
The orange eyeshadow around Naruto's eyes has faded considerably.
[And the Grim Reaper's Dagger.]
But in the blink of an eye...
[It has grown even larger than the Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands Great Buddha beneath Naruto's feet!]
[Clang—]
It was about to be planted in the ground.
Suddenly.
A gigantic hand, large enough to blot out the sky, emerged from the ground.
He grasped the hilt of the enormous Grim Reaper's dagger with perfect accuracy.
[Seeing this scene.]
Madara Uchiha's eyes widened.
[An aura of extreme danger!!!]
Even if it's a body resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation.
[Just a little bit.]
They too must "die"!
This time, death is real!
[To vanish from this world forever!]
[There's not even a chance to be resurrected!]
Wait... this feeling...
"The Uzumaki clan's priests... demons and gods?"
"I see, so that's what you mean by the power of the Uzumaki clan's rituals."
[Hahaha~]
"The Corpse Demon Seal... The Grim Reaper's Dagger?"
"You brat... you don't even spare Death?!"
[Hahaha~]
Madara Uchiha was practically laughing until he cried.
[or....]
Hmm...can we lose half if we surrender now?
I give up.
I'm truly impressed!
No need to beat me into submission; I'm already completely and utterly subdued.
[I really can't play this game!]
Of course, I was just kidding.
At this moment, Madara Uchiha was thinking more about...
[He is clearly already the strongest in the world.]
Although I never witnessed the Sage of Six Paths' former glory.
However, Madara Uchiha believed...
Compared to the young man before him, Naruto Uzumaki, the ruler of the Land of Whirlpools.
It's nothing special.
The Sage of Six Paths is powerful.
[It's just a legend.]
Naruto Uzumaki is strong.
[It's right in front of you!]
[And look at how he still seems to have energy left.]
This is what truly drove Madara Uchiha to despair.
[It possesses such power.]
[Project Eye of the Moon - Infinite Tsukuyomi or something.]
That's absolutely lame!
And to possess such power.
[Yet they sit idly by and watch the Three Ninja Villages, the Five Great Nations, and the Land of Iron, which has remained neutral for many years.]
Together, they formed the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Madara Uchiha's smile widened.
"Entrapment?"
"No, it's more like..."
"They seem to be on a higher level than me and Hashi's hot mom."
["bring it on."]
["it's over."]
Madara Uchiha suddenly realized that his power was dispensable.
Let him disappear if he wants.
[but. ]
Before it completely disappears from the world.
[A peaceful future can be foreseen.]
[I can say I died without regrets.]
[etc! ]
Why is it still leaking out?
[Will this ever end?!]
[Just thinking about it.]
Suddenly.
A pleasant voice interrupted his thoughts.
[Hahaha~]
"Uchiha Madara, your power is too great. I'm sorry, this fox cannot..."
The giant fox's human form appears in chakra form.
Right next to Naruto.
[Raising his snow-white neck, he looked down at the pitiful Perfect Susanoo below, that pathetic little monster, Madara Uchiha.]
[He was only halfway through his sentence.]
The big fox suddenly felt something was amiss.
[Meeting Madara Uchiha's questioning gaze.]
She didn't dare ask so openly.
So he lowered his voice.
[He whispered in Naruto's ear.]
"Naruto."
"Can it get any bigger?"
"I still have plenty of chakra in my yang half; use it freely."
"Make that monster down there even bigger!"
Naruto: "..."
"Why make it so big?"
"This is terrifying for Madara Uchiha!"
["snort!"]
"This fox doesn't hold grudges at all!"
"By the way, how much chakra do we have left? Let's go a little bigger!"
"There are still about four-fifths left."
The big fox heard this.
[The way Naruto looks at me is strange.]
[My gaze unconsciously drifted downwards.]
But it stopped immediately.
[We can't do that now, it's still daytime.]
[but...]
How did Naruto become so strong?
[Damn it!]
[You actually kept this from me so well!]
"Then let's release four more monsters like that!"
"No need, we can use it as building material later."
"You can split it open and use it as firewood too~"
[Luxury~]
Naruto shook his head.
Let's set aside whether it can even be split open.
["cannot."]
"The Sage of Six Paths... or perhaps, the Sage of Six Paths' enemies from back then are still alive."
"This time, I was just testing the waters."
"If the hook bites, reel it in immediately."
"It's okay if we don't have it."
"It can mislead the other party's judgment."
[Upon hearing this.]
The big fox's gaze became even stranger.
But they didn't persist.
[I touched Naruto's arm.]
[He immediately stepped forward, hands on his hips.]
[Looking down at Uchiha Madara.]
"I am the human form of Kurama, the chief of the tailed beasts!"
["Uchiha Madara!"]
"Uchiha Madara, your power is too great. I'm sorry, this fox cannot..."
[Wait a moment! ]
[Wait a minute!]
"Wait, where's Hashirama Senju?!"
[Hahaha~]
Suddenly.
A faint laugh drifted over.
[Something seems familiar!]
Damn it!
They actually left early?!
Madara Uchiha was also taken aback.
[Looking at him with surprise as he suddenly fell silent.]
The woman ran back, her pretty face filled with anxiety and resentment.
This duo...
Is that a scene featuring the Nine-Tails and its Jinchuriki?
Why does that sound so strange?
[Isn't the Nine-Tailed Beast just a tailed beast in the form of a nine-tailed fox?]
How did it turn into...?
[Huh?!]
Mito?
No...it looks similar, but it's not; there are significant differences.
However, this is likely closely related to Mito.
However, seeing the Nine-Tails' human form, which resembled Mito Uzumaki, constantly pressing against Naruto as if pleading for something, was quite striking.
[There's something strange about Madara Uchiha.]
Suddenly, Madara Uchiha paused, startled.
"Hash, the hot mom?"
Amidst the roar.
Madara Uchiha also heard his good friend Hashirama Senju's faint laughter.
"They...they ran away?"
Madara Uchiha found it hard to believe.
What exactly happened?
He didn't know.
[but. ]
[But Hashirama Senju knew!]
[The moment I sensed the Nine-Tails' chakra emanating from Naruto's body.]
[Running even faster than before!]
[What about taking the opportunity to absorb natural energy and convert it into natural chakra, Sage Chakra, and so on.]
[And then there's the safety net and stuff...]
It's all fake.
Self-preservation is the most important thing!
[Hashirama Senju's younger brother, Tobirama Senju, had already told Hashirama about this a long time ago.]
[The moment it sensed the chakra of the human form of the great fox, it immediately ran away without even looking back!]
If there's really no other way, that's okay too.
It's just peeling off a layer of skin.
But...if Naruto decides to intervene.
Furthermore, when Naruto made his move, the chakra of a large fox appeared.
No need to think about it.
[Don't stop even if your legs break!]
Otherwise, you really will die!
Uh... although Naruto will try to revive him...
And so!
[Upon seeing another colossal Buddha emerge from beneath his own already massive, thousands-armed Buddha.]
Hashirama Senju escaped.
No one can stop them!
[...]
["alright."]
"Mada-senpai."
"This is the final step in the process."
Madara Uchiha: "..."
It's getting dark.
It's really dark now, everything's blocked... But what's with the thunder?
Madara Uchiha had an even more ominous premonition...
