Chapter 526: 491. Madara Uchiha
"This is the thrill of the battle!"
Madara grabs the spear and spins it in the air. He wields the spear and points its tip toward the shinobis.
HAAH...
Madara infuses wind chakra into the spear and throws it toward the allied shinobi force.
Fwoosh...
The spear accelerates forwards and pierces through several shinobis. It stabs through multiple shinobis and pins its body on a nearby boulder.
"Looks like not all of you are incompetent." He glances at the thrower of the spear.
Sakumo retracts his hand after throwing the spear.
Madara glances at the other shinobi around Sakumo.
Bang... Bang...
He punches the head of a sand shinobi and shatters his skull. Blue streams of chakra flicker across Madara's eyes, hands, and legs.
He grabs a Konoha shinobi by the throat and slams him on the ground.
Boom...
Madara stomps on his head and smashes it like a watermelon.
"Die!"
A samurai from the Land of Iron attacks him with a chakra-infused blade.
Slash...
Madara blocks the blade with his left arm and stabs his right hand through the armor of the samurai and pierces his heart.
Bzzt...
Lightning chakra flickers around his fingers.
Splash...
He wipes the blood from his hand and tosses away the body of the dead samurai.
Clang...
Madara kicks the blade of the samurai and wields it to block a sword strike from another shinobi.
"Uchiha Style: Moonlight Sword Dance,"
Wielding the blade, he performs a series of sword strikes and slices several shinobis in half.
Clang...
A sword strike blocks Madara's attack.
Fwoosh...
Madara feels the strength in the attack and jumps back to take a close glance at his opponent.
"Oh, it's you!" He recognizes Sakumo as the earlier wielder of the spear.
"Kenjutsu: Execution Slash,"
Sakumo swings his chakra blade and unleashes a barrage of white chakra blades.
Clang... clang... clang...
Madara infuses wind chakra in his blade and deflects every attack with ease.
He raises the sword above his head in an arc.
"Uchiha Style: Dance of the Sun Sword Halo,"
Swoosh...
Madara disappears from his position. Several afterimages attack Sakumo from all directions.
Haah...
Sakumo pulls his blade in front of his chest.
"Mikazuki no Mai (Dance of the Crescent Moon)"
Several shadows escape from Sakumo's body and each of them intercepts Madara's afterimages.
Clang... clang... clang...
Sparks fly around on the battlefield as Madara and Sakumo trade blow with each other.
After trading a series of sword strikes and evenly matching against each other, the two separate.
"You are pretty good with a sword!" Madara passes a rare compliment to Sakumo.
Haah...
Sakumo takes a deep breath and clenches the hilt of his blade. He riles up his chakra and his body emits a white aura. The white aura wraps around the blade.
"Secret Technique: Sword Halo of Waning Moon,"
He swings the blade in an arc and generates several afterimages of the blade.
Haah...
Sakumo slashes the blade toward Madara, and the various afterimages merge into one to produce an overwhelming blade aura.
"Such fascinating swordsmanship!"
Madara's eyes track every moment of Sakumo's blade. He infuses lightning chakra in his blade to intercept Sakumo's attack.
"Uchiha Style: Flash Blade Dance,"
Bzzt...
He performs an ultra-fast sword swing.
CLANG...
The clash of two powerful sword techniques generates a powerful shockwave, blowing away the surrounding shinobis.
RIP... Slash...
Numerous wounds and cuts appear on Sakumo's body. The lingering chakra slices off his cheeks and spills blood.
Boom...
The aftershock of their technique repels them from each other.
Crack... Snap...
Cracks appear on Madara's blade, and it snaps in half.
"Looks like I win!" Madara smirks.
Splurt...
A giant diagonal scar appears on Sakumo's chest. Blood dyes his clothes red.
Cough... cough...
Sakumo coughs up a mouthful of blood and shakes his head.
"No, it's my win!"
Fwoosh...
The next instant, Madara's body is sliced into half from his waist.
"How amusing!!"
Madara glances at the rapidly regenerating body and sighs.
"The wounds, the pain, the scars... they are a trophy of the battlefield. And yet this body barres me from that pleasure."
He tosses away the broken blade and raises his hand.
"You are one of the strongest swordsmen I have ever fought against. So, to respect your skills and courage, I will grant you a quick death."
Madara takes a deep breath and spits out several wind blades from his mouth.
Fwoosh...
A gigantic sand hand falls from the sky and smashes into Madara.
Whoosh...
Madara flickers sideways and avoids the attack.
Another sand barrier erects in front of Sakumo and blocks the wind blades. A sand hand pulls Sakumo away from the battle and escorts him to safety. Medic-nin quickly arrives beside him to treat his wounds.
"Wind Release: Great Cast Net,"
Temari swings her giant fan and creates a series of sharp wind blades that entangle together to form an inescapable net.
Madara crosses his arms in front of his body to block the attack. The attacks raise a cloud of dust in his vicinity.
Swoosh...
Another wind wave wipes away the dust cloud to reveal Madara's figure.
Pat... pat...
Madara pats away the dust from his cloud and glances at the allied shinobi army.
"Do you want to dance, too?"
"Don't underestimate us!"
Temari clicks her tongue as her attacks deal no damage to Madara.
"Very well!"
Madara makes a horse seal and takes a deep breath.
"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flames,"
--------------------
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation Wave,"
The Flame God of Konoha, Nakamura Kazuya, takes a deep breath and spews out a massive amount of fire chakra from his mouth. The fire spreads across and encompasses a massive area, forming a gigantic wave.
"His jutsu spans a wide range of areas!"
A Kiri captain swiftly warns his water release platoon.
Several water users walk in front of the giant flame attack and make a series of hand signs.
"Water Release: Wall of Water,"
"Water Release: Wall of Water,"
The shinobi expels a large amount of water from their mouth to create a gigantic wave of water to match Flame God's jutsu.
The clash of two powerful jutsus generates a large amount of steam. The steam blinds the vision of the shinobis.
<Fire Release: Dragon Flame Bombs>
Kazuya spews out several Dragon-headed fireballs from his mouth. The fireballs move erratically and cover the frontal, left, and right sides of the army.
HAAH...
Hizashi Hyuga jumps in front of the attack.
"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven,"
He expels the chakra from the several tenketsu points across his body and creates a gigantic defensive sphere of chakra. The giant dome of chakra blocks and repels several fireballs and protects the nearby shinobis.
Hizashi confronts Kazuya. A layer of chakra reflects on his fists. He covers his fists with a thin layer of chakra to use the gentle fist art.
Kazuya also reciprocates Hizashi's gesture and covers his hands with flames.
HAAH...
<Fire Release: Flaming Rage Fist,"
He unleashes a forward punch and sends a wave of fire forward. Hizashi sends a palm blast forward to meet Kazuya's attack.
"Gentle Fist: Vacuum Palm,"
Both attacks clash and cancel each other.
ORA...
Kazuya releases a barrage of flame fists. Hizashi also matches his momentum with similar vacuum palm attacks.
"Hizashi-sama!" Several other Hyuga clan members flicker to his assistance.
"I can manage on my own. Help others will their battle." Hizashi glances towards Asuma and his team, who are struggling against the collective attacks of the rest of Guardian Twelve Shinobis.
"Sensei, these people are quite tough." Shikamaru dodges a strike from a hairless monk.
"It's hard to believe that Sensei was a former member of such a group." Ino dodges a barrage of senbons from a woman with orange hair.
"Well, I was also young once!" Asuma clicks his tongue and ignites the smoke he expelled earlier.
The Hyuga clan members come to their aid, easing the pressure from the group.
BOOM...
Suddenly, a gigantic pillar of water rises from the center of the mist. A huge tidal wave sweeps away several shinobis and the Zetsu soldiers.
"What... what's that?"
A momentary mirage of a giant clam shell appears and fades away.
Blub... Blub...
Slowly, several small water bubbles encompass the entire area.
"Quick, dodge those water bubbles!"
A Hyuga clan member issues a warning to the rest of the shinobis.
"Too late!"
A tall, slender man with blonde, hair, tied in a combed-back style appears among the group. The stranger has a triangular goatee, a thin mustache, no eyebrows, and very prominent lines at the sides of his mouth.
He snaps his fingers.
Pop... Pop... Pop...
Several water bubbles detonate into a series of explosions.
"Enemy attack!"
Several shinobis release a barrage of kunais, shurikens, and needles to attack the stranger.
Fwoosh...
However, all of their attacks pass through his body and hits their allies.
"It's useless! The 'me' you see now is just an illusion, a mirage of my technique!" The stranger opens his mouth.
"This technique..."
A few veteran shinobis from Kirigakure recognize the technique.
"He is the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki!"
