Chapter 585: The Gathering
Hiruko, who had been torn to shreds by the pillars of light, returned to his original state. The price was that one of his Sharingan had lost its light forever. At this moment, losing one eye was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the balance of the seven chakra natures in his body.
The golden Susanoo moved extremely fast. Swish, swish, swish, it swung its sword three times in a row.
Hiruko dodged left and right. The sword light was too fast, and one of his left arms was still cut off at the elbow. The Chimera Technique mobilized the corpses in his body, and soon, the original stump of the severed arm was pushed to the shoulder blade, and a new left arm grew from the shoulder.
What the?! Is he that deformed? The shadow clone, as well as Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others, were all startled. The current Hiruko looked as if he had two and a half arms. His body was heavier on the left than the right, and his head was tilted to one side, yet he himself was completely unaware.
Hiruko's single eye stared at Sasuke inside the golden Susanoo. This target was too difficult to deal with at the moment. The other voices in his body were urging him on. Far away, far away there is a bigger and better target for consumption!
Hiruko no longer entangled himself with the golden Susanoo. He accelerated with all his might and flew into the distance.
Why is this guy so obsessed with going to my main body? Is he in a hurry to die? Or is he going to help Madara Uchiha?
The shadow clone couldn't figure it out. She immediately urged the golden Susanoo to spread its wings and pursue!
"Oh my god! What is this thing?!"
Ten minutes later, Hiruko saw the golden giant tree that covered the sky, its shade extending for more than ten miles. As its branches swayed gently, clumps of yellow flames, like willow catkins, slowly drifted down.
Hiruko stretched out a scarred hand.
Like absorbing ninjutsu, he prepared to absorb these yellow flames.
This yellow flame could be absorbed, but it could not be released like normal chakra. The flame contained a large number of mad thoughts. The already half-mad Hiruko was now even madder.
After entering the range of the golden tree, several solid figures gradually appeared behind him.
These souls looked at each other, their eyes full of malice as they looked at Hiruko. This idiot doesn't even need us to push him. He's already going crazy on his own!
Hiruko didn't know what was happening behind him. He was still sizing up the golden giant tree. How could there be such a thing in the Land of Wind? Why hadn't he discovered it before? The yellow flames of madness filled his whole body with power. The wounds from Kakashi and the others seemed to be healing quickly. He couldn't bear the greed in his heart. If I devour this giant tree, I should be able to complete my missing genes, right?
"Yes, yes, go for it!"
"Yes, this is the best chance! Immortality is right in front of you!"
"Devour this tree, and we can obtain supreme power!"
The voices of the souls were all encouraging him. Hiruko vaguely heard a hint of "You've been buffed, now go and die."
Is it really that simple?
Comparing their sizes, he was like a small ant, and this golden tree was like a giant. Could he really devour the other party?
Normally, he could completely distinguish the malice in these voices. Now, his reason was being assaulted every moment. He really couldn't think that much. Charge!
If I eat this tree, I will be able to obtain outstanding aptitude. What Orochimaru, what Tsunade, they will only be fit to carry my shoes! I will be invincible!
Hiruko accelerated and rushed into the range of the golden tree.
Madara, controlling the blue Susanoo, and Izuna, controlling the cyan Susanoo, both saw this uninvited guest.
A single-tomoe Rinnegan appeared in the center of the golden giant tree's trunk. The eye looked in Hiruko's direction. Ino was quite puzzled. Who is this guy, covered in soot, as if he just came out of a coal mine? Did he come all this way to die?
Hiruko was in the front, and the golden Susanoo, carrying Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, and Choji, was behind.
The golden tree was the most conspicuous. When Sasuke saw a Rinnegan appear in the center of the trunk, he nodded silently. Even a tree has a Rinnegan. Do you see me surprised? I'm not surprised at all!
With this mindset, when he saw Madara's single Rinnegan, Izuna's Rinnegan, and the two different-colored perfect Susanoos fighting to the death, and when Naruto was shouting in shock as if he had joined the shock department, his expression became even more calm.
Rinnegan, Susanoo, isn't that standard in the ninja world? Isn't it something you can get just by having hands? I've known this cruel truth for a long time!
He relied on his intuition and first looked at Madara. It was as if the two of them were very familiar, yet it was their first meeting.
The other, Izuna, just looked familiar. Izuna's appearance was very similar to Sasuke's. Not only their faces and features, but even their hairstyles were exactly the same.
Even though he had accepted the fact that "passersby" could open the Rinnegan and the Susanoo, he still wanted to know the identities of these two "passersby."
He asked his friend, "Who are those two people?"
Naruto and Sakura naturally didn't know. Ino's shadow clone answered, "The one in the blue Susanoo is the former head of your Uchiha clan, Madara Uchiha, who founded Konoha Village with the First Hokage. The one in the cyan Susanoo is his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha."
Sasuke: "..."
I thought he was just a random guy. So he's a big shot!
He looked at Madara. The other party had a Rinnegan in his right eye and a Mangekyo in his left. Especially the left eye. This time it wasn't that vague feeling of familiarity, but a real feeling of blood connection, as if a close relative was hidden in that left eye.
He hadn't seen the shape in the Mangekyo before, but that didn't matter. In this era of universal Rinnegan and "if you have eyes, you can open a Susanoo," the Mangekyo was really not worth mentioning!
Madara and Izuna were evenly matched.
Speaking of which, Madara's combat power was a notch higher than Izuna's. Izuna had always been on par with the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju. He was a master known for "never revealing an opening." Izuna was good at defense, while Madara was better at offense.
Unfortunately, with the golden tree's roots deep in the earth, continuously drawing chakra, Izuna had almost infinite chakra and visual power. Madara, on the other hand, was affected by the yellow flames of madness scattered from the branches. His mood was like a roller coaster, first anger, then annoyance, grief, pain, and sorrow. All these emotions were amplified by the golden tree, coming in waves. He couldn't think calmly at all. A ninja without a calm mind, even with ten-tenths of his strength, often couldn't even use seven-tenths.
Ino, on the other hand, was shamelessly showing her big eye from the center of the trunk, openly copying Madara's taijutsu and fire-style ninjutsu.
The Sage of Six Paths' theoretical knowledge was absolutely the best in the world, but he walked the path of longevity and wouldn't teach Ino how to fight, nor did he advocate for these things.
Ino's combat abilities were basically the set taught by Asuma and Tsunade. Against enemies far weaker than her, she could naturally crush them. Against enemies of the same level, it was a bit of a struggle.
Madara happened to be a genius in combat. He had been swinging a large sword and fighting since he was five, all the way until he died. Now, revived, he continued to fight! His combat experience was extremely rich.
