[Shukaku arrives.]
Gaara also breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, he will be responsible for controlling Shukaku's sand.
[There's no need to simultaneously cultivate the sand and infuse it with chakra.]
The pressure has suddenly decreased.
Shukaku's enormous claws turned into quicksand.
[He continuously exhaled wind-escape techniques from his mouth.]
It doesn't need to worry about whether its Wind Release techniques will hit.
[Because.]
The weasel was manipulating the wind.
[And Temari.]
[This occurs every time Shukaku unleashes a Wind Release technique.]
[He waved a fan, merging it with Shukaku's Wind Release technique.]
[This allowed him to control his summoned beast, the weasel.]
[Wind Control, Shukaku's Power, Slash Dance, Multi-hit Combo!]
[BOOM—!!!]
The blue giant was instantly buried by sand and gravel.
The weasel then followed up with a timely wind blade attack.
It seemed as if it wanted to slice that enormous blue Susanoo into countless pieces.
[Above the sky.]
[Minato Namikaze saw this.]
[His eyes subtly changed.]
"Nagato."
"I need some time."
[Having said that.]
Minato Namikaze immediately used the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared.
Nagato was taken aback.
He then gave a wry smile.
[to be honest. ]
He also seemed to lack confidence.
[We're about to face the owner of the Rinnegan.]
[boom--]
[In just this short period of time.]
A blue lightsaber shot into the sky.
The weasel retreated in fear.
Countless wind blades were severed by that single sword strike.
[at the same time. ]
Madara Uchiha leaped up from layer upon layer of sand.
Gaara didn't even have time to unleash his second attack.
[Water Release Team!]
[Wind Release Team!]
[Fire Release Team!]
[Earth Release Team!]
[Lightning Release Team!]
[The army was forced to create distance.]
But I was unwilling to accept it.
A ninja who has mastered and is proficient in advanced ninjutsu.
[Immediately launch a long-range strike.]
However.
[These are the Five Elements Ninjutsu.]
[When applied to the Blue Giant.]
However, it could not be shaken in the slightest.
[I witnessed this scene.]
Everyone finally realized just how vast the gap truly was.
Madara Uchiha didn't even use Susanoo to deliberately defend.
They completely ignored the ninjutsu attacks of the Five Elements Team.
Madara Uchiha crosses his arms.
[Just stand there quietly.]
[As if.]
[The battle scene at this moment.]
[The freedom is no longer what it used to be.]
Instead, it adopted a turn-based system.
["hateful!!!"]
Seeing this, Temari could only roar in anger.
Increase chakra output.
Shukaku was also startled by Temari's angry roar.
[Immediately increase the output frequency of Wind Release.]
[That's how it was originally.]
Shukaku is still a big sand... a huge, fat sandman.
Now, my stomach has shriveled up.
Even her arms were shrinking.
The sand and gravel are constantly being lost.
Shukaku was also finding it difficult.
[Use all your strength to cultivate the land beneath you, making it so fine that you can control it by infusing it with chakra.]
At this time.
Madara Uchiha slowly raised his head.
[Looking at the several Rinnegan summoning beasts approaching.]
[He glanced at Susanoo's chest area.]
He closed his eyes and shook his head.
With a thought, Susanoo slashed with his sword.
[Next.]
A piercing scream rang out.
The chameleon, which had been hiding, suddenly revealed its true form.
Most of its tongue had been cut off.
[Splash—]
Gaara's sand pressed down.
It's the same slash.
It sliced through the overwhelming sand and gravel.
["Hmph~"]
Madara Uchiha smiled slightly.
"Nagato."
"You've grown up."
"I've waited so long..."
"Fine, since you can't willingly follow the path I've given you."
"Then..."
[Buzz—]
Madara Uchiha opened his eyes, his gaze locking onto Nagato's swirling vortex atop the Archaeopteryx in the sky.
[As Black Zetsu said, the goal is to retrieve the Rinnegan and find a suitable candidate to perform the Rinne Rebirth technique.]
From Madara Uchiha's perspective, this was unnecessary and a complete waste of time.
Why not just capture Nagato Uzumaki, force him to use Rinne Rebirth to revive himself, and then retrieve the Rinnegan?
[It only takes a moment to think.]
Susanoo raised its hand again.
The moment he raised his hand, everyone tensed up.
Soon, a chill ran through everyone.
[Just two arms and two lightsabers, and they're already this difficult to deal with.]
[Now...]
Madara Uchiha's Susanoo has gained two more arms...
["not good!"]
Nagato's expression changed slightly.
[He immediately controlled Pain's Deva Path and charged forward.]
[Whoosh—!!!]
[Susanoo - Four Flame Blade Dance!!!]
[All four limbs fell simultaneously.]
[The lightsaber swung down, unleashing four streaks of blue sword energy.]
["drink!!!"]
Gaara raises his arms high.
The sand and gravel were washed away.
"Shinra Tensei!" Tendo Yahiko roared.
The army's expression changed drastically.
[I also realized that I can no longer hold others back.]
Despite being unwilling to admit it.
But now...
Even if they all gathered together...
They couldn't offer any help either.
On the contrary, it becomes a burden!
"Brothers!"
"There's another one!"
["The Second Tsuchikage!"]
"I'm a sensory ninja, I've come to find his location!"
"Rewind now!"
"Don't be a burden to the adults!"
["hateful!"]
["..."
The crowd immediately retreated like a receding tide.
[call out--]
At this time.
Minato Namikaze appeared beside Gaara.
"Gaara."
"Nagato will have Tendou draw attention to the situation directly in a moment."
"Madara Uchiha is currently standing on the gravel."
"Susanoo does not provide complete coverage."
As he spoke, Minato Namikaze produced a scroll.
[After untying.]
[With a "bang".]
The ground was littered with trident-shaped kunai engraved with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Please."
"You only get one chance!"
"While Madara Uchiha hasn't used his full power yet and is still toying with us... let's deliver a fatal blow!"
"Seal it completely!"
"To prevent the possibility of being resurrected again."
[That's all.]
Minato Namikaze takes a deep breath.
He sat cross-legged on the ground again, creating more than a dozen shadow clones.
[Begin absorbing natural energy.]
He believed that this young man, whom Naruto had high hopes for, would understand his plan.
Madara Uchiha's sudden appearance was indeed unexpected.
However, what truly plunged Minato Namikaze into despair was not Madara Uchiha's power.
Instead...
Naruto did not appear immediately.
He considered many possibilities.
But in the end, they all shook their heads in denial.
Focus on only one thing.
He had to step forward!
[Make it effective!]
[Show the responsibility and strength befitting the father of the ruler of the Uzumaki Kingdom!]
This battle must be won!
