This pressure, like a physical assault, caused the expressions of both Yuto and Uchiha Madara to change in unison.
Boom! Boom!
They both erupted with a terrifying aura to resist the pressure.
Yuto's face was grim as his hands rapidly formed a seal, and he let out a soft cry:
"Sage Art—Water Style—Infinite Bullets!"
Large amounts of water materialized from the air, instantly freezing into fist-sized water balls above everyone.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with these fist-sized water balls.
The next moment, these water balls rained down like cannonballs toward the Slug Sage.
Some of these cannonballs slammed into the ground, blasting out craters several meters deep.
However, when the cannonball-like water balls struck the Slug Sage, they caused no damage at all, only creating a layer of ripples on its surface that could be completely ignored.
After completing this jutsu, Yuto didn't stop. Numerous chakra chains erupted from the back of the Giant Diamond Sealing Wall, forming a pair of giant wings, each completely made of massive chains.
With a powerful flap of the wings, a fierce wind instantly formed. Yuto controlled his giant body and soared upward.
Yuto didn't know if the Slug Sage was truly powerful, but he knew one thing: if Hashirama Senju died, the Slug Sage would disappear regardless of its strength.
Naturally, Yuto rushed toward Hashirama Senju, who was on top of the Slug Sage's head.
Gururu~
The moment Yuto flew into the air, the Slug Sage's skin began to squirm.
Then, slugs of all sizes emerged from holes in its skin, quickly forming a giant palm that slapped down at Yuto in mid-air.
"Cut!"
At that moment, a low shout exploded from the horizon.
Uchiha Madara, controlling his Susanoo, drew a gigantic blade and swung it down at the giant palm that had emerged from the Slug Sage's body.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Large amounts of corrosive liquid appeared on the surface of the palm.
The moment the Susanoo's chakra blade touched the liquid, it began to corrode rapidly.
In an instant, the entire chakra blade was almost corroded in half by the thin layer of corrosive liquid.
And Uchiha Madara's chakra blade hadn't even managed to break the skin of the palm.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's face first showed shock, then a hint of anger.
A massive amount of ocular power flowed into the Susanoo. The corroded chakra blade began to repair itself.
The thin layer of corrosive liquid on the palm's surface was finally broken through by the chakra blade.
In that instant, Uchiha Madara put all his strength into the swing, cleanly severing the giant hand.
The huge arm fell to the ground, blasting out a crater and kicking up a massive amount of dust.
However, after the arm landed, it reformed into a giant slug and merged back into the Slug Sage's body.
"Not bad strength."
A calm, almost soft voice sounded in the ears of both Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
But in the next instant, the hearts of Yuto and Uchiha Madara below skipped a beat.
The Slug Sage moved!
Its enormous body showed none of the slowness one might expect, instead giving an impression of superhuman reaction speed.
The Slug Sage's body suddenly shifted forward slightly.
This distance might not have been long for it, but to everyone else, its casual movement was equivalent to covering several hundred meters.
The Slug Sage's massive body slammed into Yuto, who was flying in mid-air, and a terrifying impact force exploded.
The Giant Diamond Sealing Wall disintegrated under this impact.
Not only Yuto, but Uchiha Madara below had half of his Susanoo body shattered by the force.
The power of the Black Emperor erupted, instantly absorbing all the impact force.
A sharp glint flashed in Yuto's eyes as he stood effortlessly on the Slug Sage's soft body.
"I don't have much time to play games with two juniors."
The Slug Sage's soft voice came again.
Boom! Boom!
The Slug Sage's massive body suddenly twisted. In the next moment, a torrent of power mixed with senjutsu chakra slammed into Yuto.
Even though the Black Emperor could absorb the force, Yuto was still blasted from the Slug Sage's body in an instant.
The immense force slammed Yuto into the ground, creating a crater several meters deep.
Uchiha Madara jumped up from the ground, intending to attack the Slug Sage, but he couldn't even see its movements.
A huge cylindrical object suddenly shot out from the Slug Sage's body and slammed into Uchiha Madara's chest.
Uchiha Madara's eyes widened in shock. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire body was smashed into the ground.
The ground suddenly cracked, and Yuto's body shot out of it, transforming into a black streak of light as he instantly charged toward the Slug Sage.
The power of the Black Emperor was unleashed!
The air around Yuto roared as if it were about to explode.
"It seems I can't kill Hashirama Senju without getting past you. In that case, let me properly meet the Sage of the Three Great Sanctuaries!"
Yuto's voice was cold as he spoke.
Another cylindrical object shot out from the Slug Sage's body and appeared in front of Yuto in an instant.
A cold glint flashed in Yuto's eye. He raised his fist and slammed it forward.
The moment the cylindrical object made contact with Yuto's fist, it didn't make a sound. Instead, it instantly softened, wrapping around his entire fist.
Yuto's expression changed as a searing pain suddenly shot up from his enclosed arm.
"Get lost!"
Yuto roared, and a massive amount of chakra erupted from his enclosed arm, spraying outward.
Under this force, the object wrapped around Yuto was blasted away.
It was only then that Yuto realized that in the blink of an eye, the arm that had been wrapped...
The skin on his arm had been completely corroded.
A spot near his wrist even revealed glimpses of the white bone beneath.
Such terrifying corrosive power!
Any single attack from the Slug Sage was no weaker than a standard Senjutsu attack. This was because the Slug Sage's body contained a massive amount of Senjutsu Chakra.
"What a boastful young one. If that's the case, then melt it all away."
The Slug Sage's voice suddenly entered Yuto's ear, filled with an air of indifference.
Clearly, up until now, the Slug Sage hadn't taken Yuto and Uchiha Madara seriously at all.
BOOM!
Another earth-shattering roar echoed across the land.
The Slug Sage's massive lower body suddenly began to stretch.
The next moment, the elongated body had coiled around Yuto and the Uchiha Madara below.
Senjutsu—Melting Stone Rain!
A sea of white pillars instantly engulfed Yuto and Uchiha Madara.
Having witnessed the corrosive nature of the white pillars, Yuto's face paled. He could ignore the impact, but the corrosive power, bolstered by Senjutsu Chakra, demanded his utmost caution.
"If you keep watching the show, you can stay underground and watch forever!"
Yuto shouted at Uchiha Madara, who had just been blasted into the ground, without even turning his head.
Yuto spread his hands, forming a single-handed seal with each one as he roared:
"Senjutsu—Water Release—Great Waterfall Collision!"
"Senjutsu—Water Release—Waterfall of a Great Dragon!"
BOOM!
A torrent of water surged toward the sky, as if Yuto had summoned an entire river.
Wave after wave formed a continuous layer of defense.
Even so, Yuto could only block a portion of this all-encompassing attack.
"The Slug Sage, huh? To summon such an ancient monster."
"In that case, I won't hold back either!"
Uchiha Madara wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and leaped out of a deep crater.
"Almighty Push!"
Uchiha Madara let out a low growl, and a terrifying suction force erupted from his body.
The all-encompassing attack, under this immense suction, began to alter its trajectory, rapidly converging before Uchiha Madara.
Watching the rapidly gathering attack before him, a cold glint flashed in Uchiha Madara's eyes.
Planetary Devastation!
A black sphere of Chakra appeared in Uchiha Madara's hand.
He tossed the sphere into the air, and the previously drawn-in attack quickly began to adhere to it.
Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly, manipulating the suction force to move upward.
"Huh? Those eyes are the Rinnegan!"

omewhat familiar technique, the Slug Sage let out a sound of confusion.
As its gaze fell on the pair of eyes on Uchiha Madara's face, the Slug Sage was clearly taken aback.
