Chapter 575: 540. Madara Vs Naruto Part-1
Chapter 575: 540. Madara Vs Naruto Part-1
Fwoosh...
Madara jumps out of the explosion and confronts Naruto and Jiraiya.
"Yasaka Magatama,"
The skeletal chakra arm of his Susanoo extends its palm and creates several chakra projectiles.
The blue projectile spins rapidly and flies towards Naruto and Jiraiya.
HAAH...
Naruto also creates a massive Rasengan in his chakra arms. He extends the chakra's arm and meets Madara's attack.
BOOM...
The Yasaka magatama beads explode in contact with the Rasengan and the recoil pushes Naruto away. Naruto crosses his arms and slides back. White smoke rises from his arms.
Swish... swish...
Madara makes a series of hand signs.
"Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flames,"
Madara spews out a large amount of high-temperature fire from his mouth. The fire melts the ground and quickly approaches Naruto and Jiraiya.
Swish... swish...
Jiraiya makes a series of quick hand signs.
"Water Release: Wild Water Wave,"
Jiraiya also expels a large amount of water from his mouth. The water clashes with the fire and produces a large amount of steam.
SHOOM...
Madara flies out of the mist and kicks Naruto. Naruto blocks the attack with his arms, but the attack forces him back.
Bam... bam...
The next second, both Madara and Naruto trade a series of blows in close combat.
Naruto skilfully blocks Madara's every blow.
"Not bad!" Madara slightly praises Naruto.
"But you could do better!"
The next second, Madara accelerates, and he dodges Naruto's attack by leaning forward. He grabs Naruto's arm with his hands and headbutts him with full force.
The sudden shock to his head turns Naruto dizzy. His vision becomes blurry for a second.
Bang...
Madara pushes him back and kicks him away with full force.
BANG...
Naruto slams into a nearby boulder, raising a small dust cloud.
Whoosh...
Madra suddenly tilts his body sideways and avoids a chop from Jiraiya.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Shoom...
The powerful repulsive force of his attack pushes Jiraiya away.
<Wild Lion Mane Technique>
Jiraiya infuses chakra into his head and elongates his hair. His hair turns hard like steel and stabs into the ground, forcefully holding him in place.
Jiraiya body's jerks back, and he claps his hands. His face regains a slight feature of a frog and Jiraiya opens his mouth.
"Sage Art: Frog Call,"
Jiraiya focuses the Senjutsu chakra in his throat and releases a powerful sound wave attack.
The sound waves travel in a straight path and disintegrate everything in its way.
Shua...
Madara decisively materializes his humanoid Susanoo. The intense sound vibrations hit his Susanoo. Immediately, several cracks appear on his Susanoo.
"What?!"
Fwoosh...
Ignoring Madara's shocked face, Jiraiya launches himself towards Madara by using his long hair as a springboard.
He condenses the Senjutsu chakra on his fist and strikes the Susanoo's chest.
"Sage Art: Frog Kata Fist,"
Bang...
Jiraiya's attack sends several shock vibrations throughout the Susanoo. The cracks on the already damaged Susanoo expand and the Susanoo shatters into several chakra fragments.
Bang...
The punch lands on Madara's body and sends him smashing across the ground.
"Did we get him?" Naruto flickers beside Jiraiya and glances toward Madara.
Pat... Pat...
Madara slowly stands and walks out of the dust cloud while patting away the dust from his armor.
"Looks like you guys can dance well!" A smile appears on Madara's face.
"This is enough for warm-up. It's time to start the real battle." Madara cracks his neck.
"I was going easy on you since you were the Nine-tails Jinchuriki. But it looks like you have mastered the power of the Nine-tails. In that case..."
Sweat trickles down Jiraiya and Naruto's forehead.
"No way! That didn't do anything." Naruto exclaims in shock.
Swish... swish...
Madara makes a series of quick hand signs.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence,"
Rumble... Rumble...
Suddenly, several trees sprout from the earth. The sprouts grow rapidly and expand further, piercing and crushing everything along their way. Massive tree branches and vines measuring several tens of meters of height instantly expand from Madara's position.
"Earth Release: Rock wall,"
"Earth Release: Rock wall,"
Jiraiya and Naruto erect a massive rock wall to block the trees. But they smash through everything and continue to expand outwards. Just within a few seconds, a massive forest spanning several kilometers appears on the battlefield.
Swish... swish...
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blades,"
Naruto constantly produces several wind blades to chop down the trees. But instead of dwindling, the number of trees keeps on increasing. Naruto slices the branches, roots, and vines of the trees to no avail.
"That's... that's the Lord Hashirama's technique," Jiraiya exclaims in shock.
Suddenly, several pink flowers bloom on the branches.
"This is bad! Naruto cover your nose." Jiraiya warns Naruto.
Puff... puff... puff...
The flower petal opens and expels pollen grain throughout the forest. The pollens swiftly disperse throughout the entire forest.
<Wood Release: Deep Forest Bloom>
"Don't inhale these pollens. They are poisonous."
Naruto covers his nose. Two giant chakra arms appear behind Naruto.
"Cho-ōdama Rasenshuriken,"
He creates a massive Rasenshuriken and tosses it across the forest. The giant wind shuriken slices through several trees.
"Explode!"
Once the jutsu is far away, Naruto crosses his arms.
BOOM...
The Rasenshuriken explodes and creates a massive explosion spanning several hundred meters. A wind hurricane forms at the center of the forest and sucks the pollen towards itself.
The jutsu creates a massive clearing within the vast forest. However, the surrounding trees rapidly cover the area and repopulate the forest.
"Naruto, it's useless!" Jiraiya shakes his head.
"There are two only two methods to destroy this forest. The first method is that the jutsu user runs out of the chakra. Since Madara is an Edo-Tensei, that's unlikely to happen.
"What's the second method, pervy-sage?"
The second method is to destroy the entire forest with a single, powerful attack. Jiraiya shakes his head.
"Speak no more, Pervy-sage?"
Naruto instantly summons his Kurama chakra avatar. He shrouds Jiraiya's body within the avatar's protection. Naruto extends his palm in front of his body and produces a massive-tailed beast bomb within Kurama's mouth.
The Kurama avatar opens its jaw wide and swallows the tailed beast bomb. It then opens a slit between its mouth and fires the tailed beast bomb into the shape of a powerful, highly concentrated beam.
SHOOM...
The crimson beam of chakra slices through the entire forest and razes down the entire forest to ashes.
Rumble... Rumble...
Suddenly, the ground beneath Naruto and Jiraiya tremble.
ROOAARR...
A massive wooden dragon erupts from the ground and bites the Kurama Avatar's neck.
"What's this?" Naruto struggles to free himself from the Dragon's grasp.
The wooden dragon coils its body around the Kurama Avatar and tightly constricts him in its grasp.
ROOAR...
The Kurama Avatar also releases a roar and bites the wooden dragon's neck.
"This is Hashirama's wooden dragon, which he used to hold down my nine-tails long ago."
The wooden dragon's coil grows tighter and tighter.
"My chakra! It's draining my chakra" Naruto gasps for breath.
Several trees slowly sprout from the body of the giant wooden dragon.
"Naruto, release your tailed beast avatar!" Jiraiya advises Naruto.
"I-I can't! It's restricting my chakra. I can't even channel it anymore." The Kurama avatar slowly fades.
"Since I can't move, in that case..."
-------------------
Clang... clang...
Mei and Obito part after trading several blows with each other.
"Why are you still struggling?" Obito glances at Mei as some blood trickles down from the wound on her arm.
Mei ignores the pain and stares into Obito's eyes.
"I heard about your story from Kushina-san. She told me you were very kind, compassionate, and willing to help everyone who was in need. But..."
Mei clutches the kunai in her hand.
"Looking at you now. I think she was mistaken. All of your kindness, and compassion was a fa?ade. The current you is your true self: selfish, ignorant, cold, and cruel. You can't even keep the promise you made to the person you loved."
Swoosh...
Mei swiftly jumps back and avoids a black receiver rod.
"You can't handle the truth, can you? Searching for a method to escape this reality!" Mei continues to provoke Obito.
"Shut up!"
Shoom...
Obito extends his palm towards Mei. Suddenly, a powerful attractive force acts on her body and pulls her towards Obito.
Slash...
Obito stabs another black receiver rod through her stomach.
Blub...
Mei turns into a puddle of water and engulfs Obito. Another Mei slowly materializes from the remains of another puddle.
<Hiding in the water technique>
"Water Prison Jutsu,"
Mei claps her palm and slowly extracts the air from the water prison.
Blub... Blub...
Obito struggles to breathe.
Shoom...
Suddenly, a powerful repulsive force breaks the water prison and pushes Mei away.
Mei creates a rubber-like defense around her body to protect herself.
Huff... Huff...
Obito pants and glances in Mei's direction.
"Your mocking words do not affect me. Obito died the day Rin breathed her last. Now, I am Tobi."
<Kamui>
Suddenly, several large Fuma shurikens fly out of his Kamui dimension.
Swish... swish...
Mei makes a series of quick hand signs.
"Lava Release: Melting Apparition Jutsu,"
Mei expels a lava breath from her mouth and melts the giant shurikens in front of her.
"Tobi?! Changing names won't change your failure."
