Chapter 236: Ch-236 Kages faints.
Madara quickly responded to the powerful attacks from Tsunade and Raikage. With a swift motion, the arms of his Susanoo moved, delivering powerful punches that sent both Tsunade and Raikage hurtling backward. They were dragged across the battlefield by the sheer force of the impact, leaving deep gouges in the ground where they skidded.
Onoki, who had been observing the battle closely from the sidelines, saw his opportunity the moment Tsunade and Raikage were pushed away from Madara's Susanoo. Without hesitation, he activated one of his most potent techniques, 'Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.' A brilliant white light erupted from his hands, and the outer armor of Madara's Susanoo began to disintegrate under the relentless assault of the Dust Release. However, as the destructive light neared Madara himself, he quickly utilized his Rinnegan's ability, the 'Preta Path.' The devastating ninjutsu unleashed by Onoki was completely absorbed by Madara, vanishing into thin air before it could inflict any harm.
Although Onoki's attack failed to damage Madara, it created a perfect opening for Gaara. Seizing the opportunity, Gaara immediately unleashed his 'Sand Waterfall Funeral,' attempting to bury Madara beneath a crushing weight of sand, intending to seal him away. But just as the sand closed in, Madara swiftly escaped from the spot, moving with incredible speed. Onoki, who had anticipated this, was already prepared with another 'Dust Release' ninjutsu. He released it in Madara's direction without delay, but once again, Madara effortlessly absorbed the attack using the Preta Path.
Realizing the need to change tactics, Madara quickly created a humanoid Susanoo, a more formidable version that enveloped him completely. From within the protective shell of the Susanoo, he unleashed another powerful attack: 'Fire Release: Great Fire Destruction.' A massive torrent of flames surged forward, heading straight for the Five Kages with terrifying speed and intensity.
Terumi Mei, the Mizukage, reacted immediately to the oncoming inferno. With a swift hand seal, she activated 'Water Release: Water Formation Pillar,' summoning a towering column of water that collided with Madara's fire release. The two opposing elements clashed violently, and the resulting explosion of steam enveloped the entire battlefield in a thick, blinding fog.
As the fog obscured their vision, Onoki turned to Raikage and quickly said, "Raikage, I will use the 'Light-Weight Rock Technique.' It will drastically reduce your weight, allowing your speed to increase exponentially."
Raikage nodded in understanding, his eyes focused with determination. Onoki positioned himself on Raikage's back, and with the technique applied, Raikage's speed increased to an extraordinary level. With an electrifying burst of energy, Raikage dashed through the fog, heading directly toward Madara's location.
Relying on his sharp instincts and keen sense of Madara's approximate position, Raikage unleashed a devastating punch. A thick beam of lightning surged from his fist, cutting through the fog and striking Madara's humanoid Susanoo with incredible force. The lightning bolt pierced the Susanoo's defenses completely, shattering it into pieces. The once-imposing Susanoo crumbled, leaving Madara exposed and vulnerable.
With Madara now defenseless, Onoki seized the moment to unleash another powerful attack. He quickly performed the hand seals for 'Earth Release: Golem Technique,' summoning a colossal rock golem that loomed over the battlefield. The golem, towering and imposing, swung its massive fist down toward Madara with the intent to crush him.
But Madara was not one to be easily overwhelmed. Just as the golem's fist descended, Madara activated his wood release. Huge, thick wooden shoots burst from the ground, growing rapidly and wrapping themselves around the rock golem with incredible speed. In mere moments, the wooden tendrils tightened their grip, crushing the golem with overwhelming force. The rock golem, once a formidable threat, was utterly destroyed as the wooden shoots constricted around it, reducing it to rubble.
The wooden shoots didn't cease their relentless growth, expanding rapidly across the battlefield and engulfing a significant area. The sprawling network of wood tangled around the terrain, entangling ordinary ninjas who were caught off guard by its sudden proliferation. But the threat didn't end there; among the wooden shoots, several large, ominous red flower buds began to sprout and quickly grew to an impressive size.
Before anyone could comprehend the purpose of these strange red flower buds, they bloomed simultaneously, revealing vibrant petals. The flowers then released a thick cloud of yellow pollen, which began to spread swiftly across the battlefield, carried by the gentle breeze.
Fortunately for the Five Kages, they were floating high above the battlefield on a sand cloud created by Gaara. From their elevated position, they watched the scene unfold below them, safely out of reach of the mysterious yellow pollen. However, despite being out of immediate danger, a sense of unease settled among them. The true nature of the pollen was still unknown, but the ordinary ninjas on the battlefield were desperately trying to avoid inhaling it.
Despite their efforts, some ninjas inevitably inhaled the pollen. Almost instantly, they began to feel an overwhelming sense of dizziness, and within moments, they collapsed to the ground, succumbing to a deep, unnatural sleep. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that the yellow pollen had the power to induce sleep, rendering those affected completely unconscious and defenceless.
Madara, observing the effects of the pollen with satisfaction, turned his attention back to the Five Kages. He knew that to truly gain the upper hand, he needed to bring them down to the ground, where the pollen could take effect. Without wasting any time, he summoned another Susanoo, its formidable presence once again dominating the battlefield. In the hand of Susanoo, Madara created multiple 'Yasaka Magatama'—spinning, shuriken-like projectiles imbued with destructive power. He hurled them at the Five Kages, who were still floating on Gaara's sand cloud.
The 'Yasaka Magatama' hurtled through the air, striking the sand cloud with explosive force. The impact shattered the cloud, and the Five Kages were forced to descend to the ground, landing amidst the wooden shoots and the lingering yellow pollen.
