Hiss hiss!
Under a massive surge of water, the fire dragon vanished without a trace, as if it had never appeared at all.
But this wasn't the end; Mokgetsu once again ignited his Chakra, executing a change in strategy.
"Water Release: Ten Dragon Bite Burst!"
Rumble!!
The enormous swirling waterspout suddenly stopped spinning, ceased rising, and transformed into a tidal wave crashing toward Uchiha Madara.
Facing the enormous wave over sixty meters high, Uchiha Madara remained expressionless.
If he unleashed his Complete Form Susanoo, this level of Water Release wouldn't even cause him to move an inch.
Just as the massive wave was about to crash down, the water underwent form transformation again, swiftly forming giant, fierce water dragons that shot toward Uchiha Madara from all directions.
Only then did Uchiha Madara's expression change slightly.
"No wonder the intel mentioned this Water Release as the Dragon Flame Song Jutsu among Water Releases." Uchiha Madara showed a look of acknowledgment.
Paper intel and witnessing it firsthand are two different things; Mokgetsu's Water Release indeed had skill.
"However, attacks of this level won't break my defense."
"Susanoo!"
Uchiha Madara concentrated enormous amounts of Chakra, with an intense blue light erupting around his body, akin to dawn breaking, but carrying an endless chill.
This time, it was not just the second stage with only half of the body.
The blinding blue light dissipated, revealing a tall giant made purely of Chakra on the ground where Uchiha Madara once stood.
Crash crash!!
Susanoo wielded four blue swords, instantly slashing apart four water dragons, while the remaining dragons crashed against Susanoo.
It towered over twenty meters high, its entire body comprised of solidified blue Chakra, making the dragons appear slender in comparison.
Boom boom!!
The water dragons' power was more formidable than Uchiha Madara had imagined, and even in the third stage of Susanoo, it swayed under the onslaught, showing slight damage but unable to harm Uchiha Madara's head within Susanoo.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone!"
Uchiha Madara considered, opting not to use his favored Fire Release but resorting to the Wood Release obtained from Hashirama Cells.
Mokgetsu's Water Release surpassed Senju Tobirama; using Fire Release would prove ineffective.
Although Uchiha Madara possessed immense Chakra, he did not wish to waste it meaninglessly.
Four wood clones separated from Uchiha Madara's body.
"Susanoo!"
After distancing themselves from the main body, the wood clones unleashed Chakra and summoned Susanoo, bringing towering Chakra giants over twenty meters onto the battlefield.
"Habu Mokgetsu, how will you counter this move?" Uchiha Madara laughed as he glanced at Mokgetsu.
Mokgetsu struggled against one third-stage Susanoo, so how would he withstand an assault from five third-stage Susanoo at once?
Boom boom!
The four Susanoo rushed toward Mokgetsu simultaneously, their giant bodies causing thunderous noises as they stomped on the ground.
"That's just too unfair!" Obito looked at the five towering blue giants standing on the battlefield, completely stunned.
His Shadow Clones couldn't even unleash Green Flame, and yet this black-robed Uchiha's clones could use Susanoo.
Is this even the same type of ninjutsu?
"So strong... not even in the same dimension as us." Shisui's pupils shook, realizing the chasm-like gap between them.
The records of the Uchiha Clan did not even mention anything about Shadow Clones using Susanoo.
Even if five of them collaborated, they feared they wouldn't defeat even one of the black-robed Uchiha's clones.
All the Konoha Ninja looked astonished, some even pinching themselves, thinking they were dreaming.
To think enemy Shadow Clones could summon Chakra giants over twenty meters tall—what a nightmare!
But reality is a reality; the pain from their cheeks and the thunderous sound of Susanoo's feet declared this was indeed the reality.
"Worst case scenario." Kakashi gripped the White Fang, his palms sweaty.
With Mokgetsu's power displayed as overwhelmingly strong, Kakashi had posited two theories, either their assumptions were mistaken and Mokgetsu was not in mortal danger or, Mokgetsu's opponent was stronger beyond reason.
Clearly, the truth was the latter: Mokgetsu was indeed strong, but the opponent was stronger!
After contemplating briefly, Kakashi made a bold decision, channeling Breath of Thunder and sprinting backward as if to flee the battlefield.
Swish!
Four dazzling blue slashes sped toward Kakashi's escape path, forcing Kakashi to retreat.
Kakashi's expression was quite grim; though they had not engaged in combat, their presence on the battlefield had burdened Mokgetsu.
If Mokgetsu dared use the Flying Thunder God to leave, possibly only Mokgetsu could escape alive, perhaps taking a few students.
"Is this why Teacher Mokgetsu, possessing Flying Thunder God Jutsu, might perish on the battlefield... " Kakashi felt he understood everything.
Kakashi was currently in agony.
Should he say, "Teacher Mokgetsu, if you continue fighting, you might die, abandon these Konoha Ninja and make a full escape."
Kakashi felt even if he truly said it, Mokgetsu wouldn't do that.
However, he couldn't simply watch Mokgetsu walk toward a fatal end.
"Then, it's time for the Beast of Konoha to take the stage."
Might Guy prepared to open the Eight Gates at any cost to aid Mokgetsu.
Even if he couldn't defeat the black-robed Uchiha's main body, taking down a clone might alleviate some pressure on Mokgetsu.
Surrounded by towering blue Chakra giants, Mokgetsu, standing at 1.8 meters, appeared particularly insignificant beside them.
"Woodman Jutsu!"
Facing the oncoming four giants, Mokgetsu silently employed his strongest Wood Release.
As Mokgetsu exploded Chakra, the ground began to tremble intensely, with countless vines and branches furiously converging from all directions, intertwining and wrapping until they formed an enormous wooden arhat.
The colossal wooden figure stood on the battlefield like a mountain, so massive that the third-stage Susanoo beside it resembled a frail child.
With the appearance of the wooden giant, a pressure more daunting than the third-stage Susanoo instantly enveloped the entire battlefield, as if the air had frozen, making breathing challenging.
The Konoha Ninja gazed at the towering wooden giant, first in disbelief, then filled with joy.
Compared to Mokgetsu's current Wood Release, the black-robed Uchiha's Susanoo seemed insignificant.
Indeed, this was the reality.
Bang!
The wooden giant threw a single punch, instantly shattering the towering blue Chakra giants, dissipating them into light particles in the air.
Shortly, a Susanoo circled behind the wooden giant to attack, unaware that all its actions had long been exposed to Mokgetsu's senses.
Crunch!
The wooden giant caught the blue sword with one hand, squeezing tightly to crush it.
Bang!
Another punch, with overpowering force, exploded another Susanoo.
Boom boom!!
Under the pure pressure of power, Mokgetsu controlled the wooden giant to destructively crush four Susanoo, leaving only Uchiha Madara's main Susanoo on the field, reversing the situation.
"Is this still Blazing Sun Mokgetsu?" Kitsuchi, not far away, got frozen on the spot as he looked at the extremely conspicuous giant wooden figure.
He felt fortunate that the black-robed Uchiha had come to disrupt things; otherwise, he and his subordinates would likely end up as casualties here.
"Sage Mokgetsu is indeed invincible!" Obito watched Mokgetsu punch a Susanoo to pieces and felt relieved at heart.
However, with keen vision, Obito suddenly noticed something strange: Uchiha Madara, in a disadvantage, was surprisingly laughing, wildly laughing.
