Knowing that Sako was accumulating strength, Kakashi immediately activated Kamui to intercept the black Chakra rods.
"Excellent timing! Unfortunately, you fell for it..."
Madara's body, floating in the air, suddenly grinned, mockingly looking at Kakashi before sighing in amusement.
In the next instant, one of Madara's clones, who had been staring at Kakashi closely, moved swiftly. It blocked Kakashi's escape route from three directions and slashed at him with a powerful strike.
"Kakashi..."
Tsunade, standing nearby, exclaimed in alarm and was about to rush to his aid when she was entangled by another of Madara's clones, who was focused on her.
Both Kakashi and Tsunade, now in shadow form, were struggling to suppress Madara's clone, barely able to protect themselves.
"Haah..."
In a dire situation, Sako, still accumulating power, had no choice but to abandon her gathered Chakra. A massive purple Susanoo hand emerged, blocking the attack aimed at Kakashi.
"Haah... Fifth Hokage, you don't have to worry!"
Kakashi, panting and standing beside Sako, stared at Madara's clones in disappointment. He sighed, realizing this was all part of Madara's plan. Whether Kakashi intervened or not, the outcome was inevitable.
The Will of Fire, which Konoha upheld, was his source of confidence.
"That's right! But so what? My strength isn't limited to the Nine-Tails!"
Sako snorted lightly, her pupils glowing with purple light as the full body of Susanoo rapidly materialized.
With the Nine-Tails' power as her source, using pure Susanoo was even more effortless for Sako!
Kakashi, who had been brought into the formation by Sako, gazed up at Susanoo, which now stood at about 200 meters tall. His eyes widened in shock.
This height was even taller than Madara's own Susanoo!
"This is the full Susanoo! Unbelievably, it's even taller than mine... What a genius!"
Madara, too, stared at the towering figure of Sako's Susanoo in astonishment. He couldn't help but sigh in surprise.
"Uchiha Sako! You're more impressive than I ever expected. I suppose I should step up my game, lest I be outshone by a junior..."
Madara raised his voice and looked at Sako, his own Susanoo rapidly materializing as well.
The blue Susanoo, fully formed in the blink of an eye, stood tall opposite Sako.
However, Madara's Susanoo was still slightly shorter, just reaching Sako's shoulder height.
"So, that's our enemy? This is terrifying..."
"Don't be afraid! The Fifth Hokage is still fighting. That guy doesn't seem as powerful as Lord Fifth Hokage..."
"That's right! Not only do we have the Fifth Hokage, but also Tsunade-sama, Kakashi-sama, and those newly promoted geniuses, not to mention the strongest genius ninja, Uzumaki Naruto!"
"Yes, they should be here soon..."
"Konoha won't just fall! It's just Uchiha Madara. Let him see how powerful we junior ninjas are..."
Hidden behind the Hokage Rock, the Konoha shinobi who protected the villagers were anxiously observing the situation, voicing their thoughts in a hurry.
At the same time, a group of ninjas from the previous generation gathered on top of the Hokage Rock, watching nervously.
Fugaku, Shijiu, Haiichi, Dingza, Yuhihong, Anko, and others were all present.
Haiichi had exchanged information with Ino through secret techniques, and they were left there to wait for orders from Sako.
Madara's power didn't stem from numbers alone, but from his overwhelming strength.
On the battlefield, Tsunade, who was surrounded by three of Madara's Susanoo clones, was now exhausted.
"Of course... What a hassle! My unique power doesn't affect Kamui at all. Thank goodness I have these two Mangekyō Sharingan to help me endure..."
Tsunade, injured once more, gritted her teeth. She activated her Kamui Mangekyō Sharingan in her left eye, her body becoming intangible as she quickly retreated.
Even as a Kage-level ninja, Tsunade found it incredibly difficult to face three of Madara's clones.
"Running away?" one of Madara's clones, who had been poised to attack Kakashi, sneered. He stretched out his hand and threw a punch at Tsunade.
The other two clones launched attacks at the same time, adding to the assault from all directions.
"The time limit for my technique is approaching!"
Tsunade, eyes flashing with the scarlet Mangekyō, analyzed the incoming attacks from the six Susanoos and grit her teeth, her voice filled with frustration.
At the same time, the Hundred Healings Mark on Tsunade's forehead began to dissipate, and Chakra began to circulate through her body.
"Go away..."
"Nine Tails Rasengan..."
"Secret Technique: Nanoworm Swarm..."
"Super Teeth Roar..."
"Twin Leaf Whirlwind..."
"Twin Whirlwinds of Konoha..."
Just as Tsunade was about to activate her Baihao Technique to resist the wave of attacks, six different voices from the Six Paths suddenly interrupted.
The attacks from the six Madara clones were instantly interrupted or redirected, giving Tsunade the chance to stop her Baihao Technique just in time.
"Little Sakura, Hinata, Shino, Kiba, Guy, Rock Lee, you're here..."
Tsunade flashed to the side of the group, looking at them with a sigh of relief.
With these reinforcements, there shouldn't be a problem this time!
"There's even a Nine-Tails Jinchūriki!
Hyuga girl, are you one of the ten Nine-Tails...?"
Madara's clone ignored everyone else, including the giant Akamaru, and looked at Hinata, who was in Nine-Tails mode, with both eyes. He smiled meaningfully.
Seeing the opportunity, Tsunade quickly summarized the known information about Uchiha Madara to the group.
"Unexpectedly, the enemy turns out to be a legendary figure—Uchiha Madara.
Lee, I will go all out this time..."
Might Guy, glowing with green steam, looked at Madara's body with fiery eyes and roared excitedly.
Roar—This is the blood of youth!
"Mr. Guy, Uchiha Madara, leave him to me! I now have the strength to surpass Hokage."
Rock Lee, who had acquired the Saiyan bloodline and was glowing with green light, stared at Uchiha Madara's body with fiery eyes and said excitedly.
He had inherited the Saiyan bloodline and, along with it, a bit of their warlike genes.
"Lee, the enemy is the legendary Uchiha Madara. If it's necessary, use that taboo technique!"
Might Guy, in a stern tone, rejected Rock Lee's proposal.
"You are my precious disciple, my seedling who has grown into a big tree! But you are still young. This time, let me do it!"
"Cough cough..."
"We're also very strong! You don't need to steal the limelight..."
Inuzuka Teba, standing on top of the giant Akamaru's head, scratched his head in displeasure and said.
Little Sakura, Hinata, and Shino nodded in unison.
"Don't take me too lightly."
Uchiha Madara's body and avatar overheard the group's conversation. Madara's body looked at them with disdain and said coldly,
"Your opponent is me, Uchiha Madara."
With a flick of his hand, the pupils of Sako, standing inside the crystal, trembled. She stared at Uchiha Madara with a determined gaze.
At the same time, the Nine-Tails' chakra flowed into her Susanoo.
Vuitton Susanoo, debut!
