Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Page 333

The massive body staggered backward uncontrollably, and the balance of the struggle was instantly broken!

Almost simultaneously with the wooden dummy's self-destruction—

Madara, who was fiercely fighting Sasuke, seized the extremely slight pause in Sasuke's attack caused by the imbalance of the Nine-Tails below!

His Sharingan precisely detected the weakest point in the trajectory of the Kusanagi sword's swing.

The kunai in his hand was suddenly struck and stirred at an incredible angle!

A sudden, skillful force struck Sasuke, causing a sharp pain in his wrist and numbness in his hand. The Kusanagi sword flew out of his grasp!

Before Sasuke could react, Madara was already close by as if he had teleported.

With his left hand, he caught the hilt of the flying Kusanagi sword in mid-air and reversed it.

With the cold back of the blade, it struck Sasuke's abdomen with overwhelming force!

"Ugh—!"

With a heavy, muffled thud, Sasuke's pupils suddenly contracted.

The intense pain instantly stripped him of all his strength, and his body bent like a shrimp.

He was sent flying back like a cannonball, crashing straight into the body of the golden nine-tailed fox that had just regained its footing.

"Sasuke!" Naruto exclaimed, quickly diverting his attention to catch Sasuke with his chakra.

Below, at the site of the wooden figure's self-destructed arms, countless new pieces of wood are growing wildly at a visible rate.

In the blink of an eye, it reformed into a perfectly intact, even more solid and robust arm!

Furthermore, a lifelike and ferocious wooden dragon coiled around the newly grown right arm.

The dragon's head was aimed at the golden nine-tailed dragon with its gates wide open in front of it!

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Bites and Bursts!"

Hashirama's voice was calm yet powerful.

The wooden figure's giant fist, entwined with a wooden dragon, carried terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks, along with an indomitable spirit.

It slammed into the chest of the golden nine-tailed fox!

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

This explosion was far louder than any previous collision!

The golden Nine-Tails' solid chakra body was actually dented into a large crater by this punch!

The terrifying impact penetrated their bodies, even causing Naruto and Sasuke, who had just caught their breath, to be violently shaken!

Awooo—!!!

The golden nine-tailed fox let out a painful wail, its massive body utterly unable to withstand this earth-shattering blow.

The enormous figure flew backward uncontrollably, like a kite with a broken string.

It finally crashed heavily onto the water in the distance, stirring up towering waves.

The chakra then quickly dissipated, revealing Naruto and Sasuke lying haphazardly on the ground.

"Cough...cough..."

Both men were clutching the areas where they had been struck, their faces pale, breathing heavily, seemingly without the strength to even get up.

The excruciating pain that permeated their entire bodies and the despairing disparity in strength dealt an unprecedented blow to their will.

"Okay, so strong..."

Naruto looked at the wooden figure in the distance, which slowly retracted its fist and stood like a mountain.

And the two seemingly invincible figures on the wooden figure's shoulders squeezed out a sigh full of helplessness through their teeth.

Sasuke gritted his teeth, unwilling but his dark eyes clearly reflected the same shock.

Their cooperation, their strength.

Faced with the opponent's artistic combat experience and absolute strength, they appeared so naive and vulnerable.

On the wooden dummy's shoulder, Hashirama slowly let out a sigh of relief, his signature hearty smile returning to his face. He scratched his head and said, "Phew, the strength of these two juniors is truly formidable when they work together!"

"We almost gave them an opportunity."

His tone was filled with genuine appreciation.

Madara tossed the Kusanagi sword in front of Sasuke, then crossed his arms and indifferently swept his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan over the two men lying motionless on the ground in the distance.

He snorted coldly and gave a completely different evaluation:

"Hmph, it's still a long way off."

Chapter 354 This time, I passed!

On the cold, icy surface of the water in the space of consciousness, Sasuke, enduring the excruciating pain in his abdomen, used the Kusanagi sword to support his body and struggled to stand up again.

Black strands of hair were stuck to his forehead with sweat.

Sasuke was panting, but his voice was unusually firm: "Continue using Tailed Beast Mode."

Naruto, who had just recovered from the shock, was taken aback when he heard this, but he immediately struggled to get up.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Sasuke with his azure eyes: "Is there a way?"

Sasuke gave a brief reply, and his black eyes transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan once again.

A surge of immense power, mixed with unwavering will, erupted forth: "Let our power... merge into one!"

"I don't know how to do it! But since you've said so, let's do it!"

Naruto roared and squeezed out the last of the Nine-Tails' chakra within his body without holding back!

Golden light shot into the sky once more, and a massive amount of chakra rapidly condensed and took shape.

A majestic, baring-toothed, roaring golden nine-tailed head was the first to take shape!

At almost the same time, Sasuke's Mangekyou Sharingan power was also pushed to its limit!

A strange purple chakra surged from his body like a burning flame.

But this force did not form a giant skeleton as usual.

Instead, it flowed like a living fluid, precisely covering and wrapping around the newly formed golden fox head!

The moment the purple and gold chakra came into contact, there was no repulsion; instead, a strange sound of fusion was produced!

The purple pupil power quickly solidified and deformed, directly affecting the outer edge of the golden fox head.

It formed a purple Susanoo armor with a ferocious shape and intricate patterns!

Madara, who had been quietly observing the battle, showed obvious surprise and keen interest for the first time in his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan upon seeing this scene: "He actually thought of using this move."

Hashirama beside him widened his eyes slightly, his face filled with nostalgia and emotion: "I really didn't expect... after so many years, to see this move again from two juniors..."

His thoughts seemed to drift back to the distant Valley of the End.

At that time, his close friend and nemesis was controlling the Nine-Tails.

He then covered himself with Susanoo as armor, and engaged in that earth-shattering final battle with him.

Under the admiring gazes of the two legendary ninjas, Naruto and Sasuke's combined technique was rapidly being completed!

Golden chakra continuously surged from Naruto's body, coalescing into the complete body of the Nine-Tails.

Sasuke's purple Susanoo, like the most exquisite craftsman, rapidly spread, covered, and solidified along the outline of Kurama's body!

In the blink of an eye, an unprecedented behemoth made its appearance!

It possesses the imposing physique and ferocious power of a golden nine-tailed fox.

His entire body was covered by a layer of magnificent purple armor that seemed almost tangible and shimmered with a cold metallic luster!

The armor's lines are both sleek and ferocious, perfectly protecting every vital point of the Nine-Tailed Fox, making it look both sacred and destructive!

What's most unsettling is that this "Susanoo Nine-Tails" is in its hands.

He was holding a huge, long katana made of highly condensed purple chakra!

The pressure instantly increased several levels!

However, faced with this combination technique that would terrify any enemy, Madara's lips merely curled into a slight smile.

It was a smile tinged with pride, like seeing a student finally grasp the basics, yet remembering who the true founder was.

"Good idea. Too bad... I was the one who developed this technique!"

Before he finished speaking, an even deeper and more massive indigo chakra, like a giant abyss beast awakening, erupted from Madara's body!

This power did not form Susanoo on its own, but instead, like a surging torrent, it instantly poured into the wooden doll that Hashirama was maintaining beneath his feet!

Kakakaka——!

The indigo chakra rapidly spread, covered, and solidified along the wooden doll's massive body!

A "Susanoo wooden figure" covered entirely in heavy indigo Susanoo armor, resembling an armed god general from mythology, stands majestically!

In his hand, a giant indigo chakra sword radiating terrifying energy also materialized!

The moment when this complete "Susanoo wooden figure" was fully formed.

Its terrifying aura, a fusion of Hashirama's chakra and the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, was unleashed.

Like a solid mountain, it pressed heavily on Naruto and Sasuke's hearts, causing both of them to break out in a cold sweat.

"Is this... the realm of the God of Shinobi...?"

Naruto murmured, feeling an unprecedented pressure.

But at this moment, retreat is absolutely out of the question!

Sasuke let out a low shout, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes shone brightly!

"oh!!!"

Naruto roared, unleashing his massive chakra at full power!

The purple Susanoo Kurama and the blue Susanoo Kijin, like two moving mountains, suddenly clashed head-on!
