"What does it matter?!" Looking at Uchiha Madara's arrogant expression, although he had guessed correctly, Uchiha Itachi suppressed his anger and said expressionlessly, "Since I could injure you once, I can certainly injure you a second time. You can never escape!"
Hearing Itachi's words, Uchiha Madara's expression instantly darkened. He stared directly at Itachi, Hiruzen, and Tsunade, a hint of anger appearing in his eyes. "It seems my attitude was too gentle, making you think that I, Madara Uchiha, am so easily manipulated?!"
...
Hearing Uchiha Madara's words, Itachi, Hiruzen, and Tsunade exchanged glances, their faces showing no expression.
"Since Uchiha Madara fears the Totsuka Blade, then no matter what, we must create an opportunity for him to be struck by it, and he will be finished!" Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
"Hmm!" Itachi and Tsunade both nodded.
In the next moment, as if they had rehearsed countless times, the three of them stepped forward in unison, charging towards Uchiha Madara!
During this process, Itachi would use the Totsuka Blade to block Madara's path from the front, while Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade would attack from both sides!
Their goal now was singular: to make Uchiha Madara fall victim to the Totsuka Blade.
"This is truly laughable. It seems I need to show some real strength, or you'll continue to think I'm easy to bully…"
He said softly, watching the three of them charging towards him. Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow, his Mangekyō Sharingan's tomoe began to melt, and his original scarlet eyes rippled, instantly transforming into purple Rinnegan.
"This is…" The three charging towards Uchiha Madara were shocked!
Looking up sharply, Uchiha Madara's lips curved into an evil smile. He calmly shouted, "Universal Pull!!!"
"BOOM!!!"
A massive shockwave spread outwards from Uchiha Madara, instantly engulfing the surroundings!
While also a Universal Pull, the power of Uchiha Madara's Universal Pull far surpassed Nagato's.
In the original work, when Pain attacked Konoha, Chōji Akimichi and Chōza Akimichi, using their Human Bullet Tank, could resist the repulsive force of Universal Pull.
And the power of Itachi's Susanoo was definitely crushing compared to Chōji and Chōza's Human Bullet Tank.
Yet, even so, he was repelled by Uchiha Madara's Universal Pull without any ability to resist!
It wasn't just Uchiha Itachi; Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi fared even worse. Uchiha Itachi, protected by Susanoo, was relatively unharmed. Tsunade, having activated the Mystic Palm Technique, possessed incredible healing abilities.
Although severely injured, she could recover quickly. But Hiruzen was in a dire state. Under such a close-range Universal Pull, the aged and frail Third Hokage was slammed into a large rock, his condition unknown…
"Teacher Hiruzen!" Seeing the unconscious Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade struggled to pull herself out of the ground and rushed towards him. Upon reaching him, she immediately used medical ninjutsu to treat his wounds.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Itachi frantically stabilized himself, focusing his gaze on Uchiha Madara. More precisely… on Uchiha Madara's eyes!
"This is the Rinnegan… Why do you possess the Rinnegan?!" Staring directly into Madara Uchiha's eyes, Itachi could no longer contain his shock and exclaimed, "Why?!"
"Are you surprised…" Seeing Itachi's reaction, Madara Uchiha sneered and said directly, "My possessing the Rinnegan seems to have greatly surprised you…"
"Let me tell you the truth, the Rinnegan… is actually the ultimate form of the Sharingan, an eye superior to the Mangekyō Sharingan!" Madara's arrogant voice rang out as he revealed a fact that greatly astonished Itachi.
"The Rinnegan is the ultimate form of the Sharingan… But then why did Nagato have the Rinnegan…" Itachi was completely confused now. A flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had understood something, but he couldn't quite grasp it.
"Alright, the game is over. Now, hand over the Totsuka Blade you're holding!" Madara Uchiha shouted, forming hand seals. "Wood Style: Wood Dragon Jutsu!!!!"
"Boom!!" A giant wood dragon suddenly burst from the ground and instantly coiled around Itachi's Susanoo!
"This is… Wood Style!" Uchiha Itachi's shock deepened. Madara not only possessed the Rinnegan but was now also using the advanced Wood Style ninjutsu mastered only by the First Hokage. What was going on?!
However, Uchiha Itachi had no time to ponder these questions. The giant wood dragon had already tightly bound his Susanoo. At the same time, he felt the chakra of Susanoo rapidly diminishing. This wood dragon possessed the ability to absorb chakra!
"Damn it!!!" Seeing this, Itachi instinctively wanted to use the Totsuka Blade to seal the wood dragon. But as soon as the thought arose, he dismissed it!
If he used the Totsuka Blade now, it would play right into Uchiha Madara's hands. Since Madara had a way to snatch the Yasakani no Magatama from him, he would surely have a way to snatch the Totsuka Blade as well.
If he used the Totsuka Blade now, both the strongest spear and the strongest shield might fall into Uchiha Madara's possession!
Madara Uchiha was already powerful enough. With the aid of these two divine artifacts, he would truly be invincible!
With this thought in mind, Uchiha Itachi did not use the Totsuka Blade. Instead, he looked at the wood dragon with his eyes and declared, "Amaterasu!!!"
"Boom!!!!"
Black flames instantly leaped onto the giant wood dragon. However, the wood dragon completely ignored the Amaterasu and continued to bind Itachi's Susanoo tightly.
"How could it be useless!" To his surprise, Uchiha Itachi looked at the wood dragon and found that its body, originally burned by Amaterasu, had regenerated on its own. It was completely impervious to damage.
"I see. This wood dragon uses absorbed chakra to regenerate its body. This is troublesome…" Itachi sighed inwardly. Under the continuous chakra absorption by the wood dragon, his Susanoo transformed from armor to muscle… and finally to a skeleton.
"Uchiha Itachi… you are a worthy opponent, but you are still no match for me. Looking across the entire world, only Hashirama could be considered my equal!"
Madara said, crossing his arms and looking at the struggling Itachi, as well as Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi who were healing on the other side. A hint of boredom flickered across Madara's face.
...
Just as Madara was contemplating how to deal with the three before him, his swirling Rinnegan sensed a different kind of fluctuation!!!
BOOM!!!
It was as if a heavy object had been thrown from a great height and slammed into the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and ash!
"Uchiha Madara, is it… Nice to meet you for the first time…"
A lazy voice drifted over. From within the swirling dust, two figures gradually became visible.
"Who is it?!"
Suddenly, such a commotion occurred beside him. Uchiha Madara frowned and looked at the two figures emerging from the dust-filled air.
"This chakra…" Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan gazed at the figures in the smoke, his expression unreadable. "It seems to be the person I was looking for…"
