Seeing Uchiha Madara, who remained completely unaffected, Xi's throat subtly twitched.
The genjutsu he had just cast had absolutely no effect?
They weren't even on the same level anymore!
Just then, a whooshing sound came from ahead.
Seeing Uchiha Madara who had disappeared, Xi quickly moved into a defensive stance while vigilantly sensing his surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, Uchiha Madara appeared before Xi.
Seeing this, Xi gritted his teeth and charged straight toward Uchiha Madara.
Even though he knew he was no match for Uchiha Madara, there was no turning back now.
Neither of them used ninjutsu—Uchiha Madara because he simplywas beneath him to use it, and Xi because he knew that using ninjutsu now would just be a waste of chakra.
In the blink of an eye, the two collided.
Almost instantly, Xi was easily subdued by Uchiha Madara. Only then did Xi suddenly understand why Darui and the others had been so easily defeated by Uchiha Madara.
His speed and strength far exceeded the limits of ordinary shinobi, especially his overwhelming technique, making Xi feel nearlydespair.
Was this the terror of those shinobi who survived the Warring States Period?
With a muffled thud from the ground, a large cloud of dust kicked up.
Uchiha Madara stepped on Xi, who was now pinned to the ground, and looked at the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer B and the Five-Tails Jinchuriki Han across from him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"I thought you two had escaped."
From when Uchiha Madara defeated the four shinobi including Tsuchi and Darui until now, only a short moment had passed.
"Damn it, let go of Xi!"
Seeing Xi being trampled under Uchiha Madara's foot, Killer B's face showed anger.
Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!
The dark red tailed beast chakra quickly enveloped Killer B's entire body, forming a terrifying tailed beast cloak.
"Killer B, don't be reckless!" Han, seeing Killer B's actions, changed his expression and shouted loudly.
But Killer B couldn't hear Han's words at this moment.
Whether it was Darui or Xi, these two were not only shinobi from Kumogakure, but also his comrades.
Even if the opponent was Uchiha Madara, Killer B would absolutely not allow anyone to trample on his comrades' heads!
"Hurry... hurry and get away, Killer B!"
Trapped under Uchiha Madara's foot, Xi weakly raised his arm and shouted in Killer B's direction.
Rairai no Ken!!
Lightning-natured chakra quickly gathered on Killer B's body. In the tailed beast cloak form, a bull-skulled white bone appeared at Killer B's elbow.
The ground trembled slightly.
Killer B's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, turning into a red streak as he charged toward Uchiha Madara.
His terrifying speed caused the air in front of Killer B toproducing ear-piercing sonic booms one after another.
Seeing this attack from Killer B, Uchiha Madara's eyes lit up. He raised one hand toward Killer B:
"Now that's a proper fight."
Killer B's speed was extremely fast, kicking up large clouds of dust as he moved. In an instant, he appeared before Uchiha Madara.
And at that very moment!
Uchiha Madara's originally black pupils suddenly transformed into Rinnegan eyes that emitted a purple glow.
Shinra Tensei!
A terrifying repulsive force erupted from Uchiha Madara, spreading out in all directions.
A huge explosion sounded at the point where the two collided.
The white bone at Killer B's elbow instantly turned to dust, and then, after hesitating for a moment, Killer B's figure was directly blasted back by this immense power.
Steam Armor!
The instant Shinra Tensei ended, Han, wrapped in large amounts of steam, appeared beside Uchiha Madara at an eerie speed.
Boil Release—Unparalleled Strength!
The chakra of the Five-Tails, Gyuuki, rapidly boiled. Large amounts of white steam, along with the tailed beast's chakra, enveloped one of Han's arms.
Han raised this arm and directly struck toward Uchiha Madara's head.
Susanoo!
Uchiha Madara's eyes flickered slightly, and a Susanoo arm quickly extended from his body, striking Han first.
Han's body trembled violently as he endured the intense pain.
Roar!!
Han opened his mouth and let out a beast-like roar.
Partial Tailed Beast Transformation!
Five tails made of chakra instantly whipped forward, striking Uchiha Madara's body as he moved.
Han manipulated one chakra tail, quickly wrapping around Xi who was under Uchiha Madara's feet, and retreated explosively backward.
"Do you really think you can escape?"
Watching Han retreat, Uchiha Madara said in a cold voice.
Just then, Killer B, who had been blasted away, also rushed back. In his partially transformed state, he quickly opened his mouth.
Large amounts of chakra gathered at Killer B's mouth. In an instant, a Tailed Beast Ball emitting terrifying energy shot out from Killer B's mouth.
A red streak of lightstreaked across the sky, instantly appearing before Uchiha Madara's eyes.
The Rinnegan in Uchiha Madara's eyes glowed with purple light. He raised one arm, opened his palm, and aimed it at the incoming Tailed Beast Ball.
Preta Path: Sealing Technique Absorption!
A transparent energy barrier enveloped Uchiha Madara's entire body. The Tailed Beast Ball landed on the barrier but didn't explode. Instead, it was rapidly absorbed at an incredible speed.
"What, it can absorb a Tailed Beast Ball!!"
Killer B's eyes widened in disbelief.
"B, those eyes of Uchiha Madara are the legendary Rinnegan!"
The voice of the Eight-Tails, Gyuki, echoed in Killer B's mind.
As he absorbed the Tailed Beast Ball, Uchiha Madara raised his other arm toward the rapidly retreating Han: "I told you, you can't escape."
Attracting Heaven!
Compared to the terrifying force from earlier, an attractive force completely opposite in nature erupted from Uchiha Madara's palm.
Han, who was retreating quickly, felt his body stiffen. His body was completely uncontrollably pulled back by this attractive force.
Not good!
Han's expression changed. Not caring about anything else, he let all the tailed beast chakra within his body erupt.
Complete Tailed Beast Transformation!
Roar! Roar!
Huge roars echoed throughout the sky. A pure white beast with five tails, seemingly a fusion of a dolphin and a horse, appeared in Uchiha Madara's vision.
The moment the Five-Tails, Gyuuki, massive body appeared, it easily broke free of Uchiha Madara's terrifying suction!
After Han entered complete tailed beast transformation, Killer B on the other side was not to be outdone.
Accompanied by another huge roar.
A beast with octopus-like tentacle tails and a bull-like head also appeared in Uchiha Madara's vision.
The chakra aura emanating from the Five-Tails and Eight-Tails spread throughout the surroundings.
The animals in the surrounding forest instantly fell into a panic, fleeing in all directions in fear.
The two tailed beasts appeared and quickly sandwiched Uchiha Madara between them.
The Eight-Tails and Five-Tails stared down with their large eyes, glaring at the tiny Uchiha Madara below.
Facing the gaze of the two tailed beasts, a smile suddenly appeared on Uchiha Madara's lips.
