Chapter 237 Uchiha Madara! ! ?
Four figures, on the vast and boundless sea, stirred up parallel white waves that were clearly distinct yet extended in the same direction, resolutely rushing towards that unknown distance.
The wind whistled in our ears, and the salty seawater, propelled by the high-speed impact, turned into a cold rain mist that lashed against everyone's faces.
But nobody cared.
Tsunade took the lead, her long golden hair being torn into a straight line by the strong wind.
She unleashed her chakra without reservation under her feet, each step she took on the sea surface creating a huge crater and sending up towering columns of water.
He was like a golden arrow released from a bow, tearing through all obstacles in his path.
teacher!
Please, nothing bad happens!
That was the only thought that remained in her mind.
The thought of this made Tsunade's heart clench.
A mixture of worry, anxiety, and anger surged within her, almost causing her to lose her composure.
She could only channel all of that energy into her steps, to go faster, even faster!
Behind them, on the left and right, Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Kagami followed closely.
Their movements were even lighter, their toes barely touching the water's surface, creating only tiny ripples, yet their speed was by no means slow.
The two formed a sharp flank, perfectly diverting the massive splash of water that Tsunade unleashed, maintaining the most efficient advance formation.
Danzo's hands unconsciously began to cross, making several silent hand seals.
Pure wind-attribute chakra gathered at his fingertips, ready to be unleashed.
On the other side, Uchiha Kagami's blood-red eyes were filled with black tomoe spinning at an astonishing speed, his Mangekyou Sharingan pushed to its limit.
Unlike Danzo's pure analysis, he sensed something was amiss.
From the moment he got closer to the reef, the stronger his unease became.
It wasn't fear or fighting spirit, but rather a... more ancient and primal resonance.
Like a wanderer far from home, gazing at the highest mountain in their hometown.
This left him feeling incredibly confused and uneasy.
Who exactly is the person confronting the Hokage?
boom!
Finally, at the edge of their vision, the ravaged black reef appeared.
The closer they got, the clearer the faint yet terrifying pressure became. It wasn't chakra filled with killing intent, but rather an absolute "force" that was enough to freeze space itself simply by its existence.
Profound, vast, and ancient.
It is enough to make any living being in it tremble from the depths of their soul.
boom!
Tsunade was the first to rush onto the reef, the immense force causing her footing to crack instantly. Danzo, Kagami, and Torifu followed closely behind her.
The moment they saw what was before them, the four of them—Konoha's four strongest warriors—froze in a daze.
The reef was a scene of utter devastation.
The Third Raikage's body still lay there quietly, preserved in its final state. Not far away, the unconscious Third Mizukage was casually tossed aside.
Their teacher, the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, stood there calmly, wearing a sacred robe embroidered with the character "fire." The hem of his robe fluttered slightly in the sea breeze, and there were no visible wounds on his body, nor even a trace of fatigue.
About twenty meters away from him stood another person.
An old man.
She wore a simple, dark purple, high-necked robe with a family crest embroidered on the back in the shape of a round fan. Her long, white hair, reaching her waist, flowed freely in the wind. Her face, covered with deep wrinkles, was expressionless.
What's most terrifying about him is his eyes.
Those were eyes... glowing with concentric circles of purple light!
Rinnegan!
The eyes that only the Sage of Six Paths possessed!
hum!
Tsunade's mind went completely blank for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered something: in the family's secret scroll, in the manuscript left by her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, there had been a drawing of a face.
That face belonged to my grandfather, who was both his lifelong friend and his lifelong nemesis.
Although the face before me is aged, etched with the lines of time, its contours, its aloof air that seems to survey the world beneath one's feet...
Impossible... Absolutely impossible! That person... That person clearly already...
Danzo Shimura's body stiffened to the extreme in an instant.
He felt a sense of oppression from those purple eyes that exceeded the limits of his understanding.
"this...."
The oppressive aura was so real, so real, that it seemed even the air itself had become tangible, relentlessly suppressing every cell in his body.
For the first time before a battle, Akimichi Torifu's massive body felt a chill emanating from the depths of his being.
The blood that had been boiling with anger cooled instantly the moment he saw those eyes, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over it.
That wasn't the aura of a duel between ninjas, but rather an absolute crushing on a different level.
He felt as if he were not facing a person, but a mountain, a sea, and the entire sky.
However, the one who reacted the most was Uchiha Kagami.
Upon seeing that figure, especially those Rinnegan eyes, his blood seemed to freeze.
That resonance and excitement reached its peak at this moment.
His body trembled slightly uncontrollably. His proud Mangekyou Sharingan seemed as insignificant as a firefly compared to the bright moon in front of the Rinnegan.
A name that should have been buried in the deepest part of history, or even become a legend, was squeezed out one word at a time from his dry throat.
"U...Uchiha..."
Uchiha Kagami's voice became hoarse with extreme shock, each syllable filled with disbelief and trembling.
"spot!"
Boom!
The moment the last word was uttered, it was as if an invisible thunderclap exploded in the minds of Tsunade, Danzo, and Torifu.
Madara Uchiha!
It's really him!
The legend of the man who rivaled the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, pacified the Warring States period, fought a final battle with the First Hokage at the Valley of the End, and was ultimately believed to have died long ago.
The Asura of the Ninja World!
He... is still alive!?
The last shred of hope in my heart was shattered by this name.
"..."
After a brief period of silence, there was an unrestrained and instantaneous burst of action.
"Ooo ...
The first to react was Akimichi Torifu.
"Multiply Technique!!"
boom!!!
Akimichi Torifu let out a roar, and his massive body expanded rapidly at a visible speed, his solid muscles bulging. His enormous body resembled a mountain, and he stood in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi without hesitation.
His massive foot slammed heavily onto the reef, causing the already broken ground to crack even more, producing a deafening roar.
"Hiruzen, let's hold him off!"
Akimichi Torifu let out a roar like a mountain collapsing, his huge hand protecting him in front of him, assuming the most solid defensive stance.
"..."
Uchiha Kagami's blood-red Mangekyou Sharingan spun wildly, and even though he knew it was futile, he was prepared to release Susanoo at any moment.
"blow--"
Danzo Shimura's hands moved so fast that afterimages appeared, completing several complex hand seals in an instant. Sharp wind blades, invisible to the naked eye, swirled around him, emitting a sharp whistling sound.
The reef beneath Tsunade's feet instantly crumbled, and a surge of violent chakra erupted from her body.
He assumed the most standard fighting stance, his iron fist brimming with power enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
In less than a second, the four people formed a very stable formation.
They shielded Hiruzen Sarutobi behind them, each of them displaying a resolute expression of facing a formidable enemy, even ready to sacrifice themselves at any moment.
Even if they were facing the legendary Asura of the Ninja World, they would never back down!
The air on the entire reef was distorted by the explosion of these four massive chakras, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive. An earth-shattering battle was about to break out.
However, in this frozen silence...
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was being fiercely protected behind him, simply raised his hand and waved it casually.
He spoke calmly, his familiar and gentle voice clearly reaching the ears of the four.
"Do not be nervous."
"We...we were just chatting."
These words left Tsunade and the other three completely stunned, their minds blank.
