Chapter 234: Ch-234 Madara arrived on the battlefield.
Tobi, who was perched atop the colossal wooden statue, plummeted to the ground with a thud, his body momentarily stunned from the fall.
Tsunade seized the opportunity, leaping high into the air with her incredible strength and aiming a precise, lightning-fast kick at Tobi, who lay vulnerable and disoriented on the ground.
Tobi, anticipating the attack with his keen instincts, realized that if Tsunade's kick landed, it would be fatal, capable of crushing his skull with ease. He swiftly employed the Mayfly Technique, disappearing into the ground just in time.
Tsunade's kick struck the spot where Tobi had been just seconds before, unleashing a shockwave that sent tremors through the earth. As soon as it landed, the ground within a few meters' radius was uprooted, revealing a crater-like depression surrounded debris. Tobi emerged from the ground about 50 meters away from Tsunade's current position, his eyes wide with fear. Upon witnessing the destructive power of her kick, he felt an overwhelming sense of relief that he had escaped in time, his heart still racing from the close call. Had he not, he would have been crushed into a paste and killed instantly, his body reduced to a mere memory.
Jiraiya, still in 'Sage Mode', immediately sensed Tobi's location, his heightened senses tracking the subtlest changes in the environment. He alerted Tsunade, pointing towards Tobi with a swift gesture, "Look, he's over there!" his voice low and urgent.
Tsunade immediately turned in the direction Jiraiya pointed, her senses on high alert. Just as she was about to move, Jiraiya's urgent shout of "Stop!" froze her in her tracks.
"What happened?" Tsunade demanded, her voice tense as she turned her sharp gaze towards Jiraiya.
"Someone very powerful is approaching from above," Jiraiya replied, his voice low and serious as he pointed towards the sky, his expression grim.
At that moment, other sensory ninjas, spread out across the battlefield, also detected the powerful presence descending from above. Their eyes widened in alarm, and they quickly shouted warnings to everyone around them, "Alert! An attacker is coming from above!"
The air was thick with tension, but before anyone could react, a massive Susanoo came hurtling down from the sky. It crashed into the ground with tremendous force, sending shockwaves through the earth and raising a vast cloud of dust that momentarily obscured everything from view.
As the dust finally began to settle, the ninjas stood frozen in a mixture of awe and horror. The sheer size of the Susanoo was overwhelming; it dwarfed everything around it. They had never seen such a colossal entity before—not even the 'Gedo Statue' could compare to this behemoth.
Among the stunned ninjas, a few with exceptionally keen eyes spotted the figure of Madara Uchiha.
"Look, someone is up there!" exclaimed one of the shinobi, his voice tinged with a mix of awe and fear. As the words spread like wildfire across the battlefield, all eyes turned skyward, where the unmistakable form of Uchiha Madara stood within his colossal Susanoo, its menacing aura dominating the landscape.
"No doubt about it," Tsunade muttered, her expression grave as she gazed at the legendary figure above. "He must be Uchiha Madara."
Jiraiya, standing beside her, nodded in agreement. His usual carefree demeanor was replaced by a rare seriousness. "Absolutely. There's no one else who could command such overwhelming power."
Madara remained silent for a few moments, his piercing eyes scanning the battlefield below. He took in the chaotic scene, his gaze sweeping over the devastated terrain, the countless fallen shinobi, and the ongoing transformation of the Gedo Statue. He also noted Obito, locked in fierce combat with the Raikage and several other elite ninjas.
"It seems you're encountering some difficulty," Madara finally spoke, his deep voice carrying effortlessly across the battlefield as he directed his attention towards Obito.
The arrival of Madara had an immediate and profound impact. Almost everywhere, the clashing of weapons and the roars of battle ceased as both allies and enemies alike paused, their attention drawn to the new, overwhelming presence. Even the intense struggle between Obito, the Raikage, and the others came to a halt as the fighters instinctively recognized the shift in power dynamics.
Obito, panting from the prolonged battle, glanced up at Madara. Despite the chaos around them, a silent understanding passed between the two. Obito gave a subtle nod, acknowledging Madara's presence.
Madara then decided on a direction where the highest concentration of ninjas had gathered. With a swift motion, he drew his (Susanoo's) massive sword and unleashed a devastating slash. The sheer force of his strike was so overwhelming that it tore through the ground, creating a massive ravine that stretched across the battlefield. The slash was so powerful that it instantly killed a large number of ninjas, their bodies scattered like leaves in the wind.
This all occurred in the blink of an eye, before anyone could even comprehend what had happened. Tsunade, Raikage, and the other powerful ninjas, known for their incredible strength and speed, could only stand there, frozen in shock and helplessness, as they witnessed the slaughter of their comrades.
But Madara was far from finished. With an almost casual gesture, he prepared to unleash another sword slash, his eyes cold and merciless. However, Guy, who had been observing the battle closely, knew he couldn't allow Madara to continue his rampage. Without hesitation, he opened the seven gates of the "Eight Gates" technique, his body radiating with raw power.
As Madara swung his sword for the second time, Guy launched his signature move, "Day Tiger," with explosive speed and precision. The air itself seemed to tremble as Guy's taijutsu move collided with Madara's sword slash, resulting in a massive explosion of energy that cancelled out both attacks.
But Guy wasn't done yet. Fuelled by his determination to protect his comrades, he surged forward with incredible speed, his body moving faster than the eye could follow. With all his strength, he delivered a devastating punch directly to the abdominal region of Madara's Susanoo, the enormous chakra armour that protected him. The force of Guy's punch was so immense that it caused cracks to spiderweb across the surface of the Susanoo, signalling that even Madara's seemingly invincible defence could be broken.
Kakashi, who was supporting from the sidelines, used Kamui on Susanoo's legs, and this time, Obito didn't stop him. As a result of Kakashi's Kamui, a spatial vortex appeared on Susanoo's leg, severing it.
With its leg broken, Susanoo became unstable and started to fall, but before it could collapse, Madara willingly dissipated it. He landed on a high rock cliff and surveyed the battlefield below. Madara was waiting for the arrival of White Zetsu or Black Zetsu, and it wasn't long before Black Zetsu appeared beside him of his own accord.
