Chapter 324: Ryosuke Partners up with Madara
"Susanoo, heh~!"
Seeing Madara's full body Susanoo, Ryosuke did not have the idea to use the same power to fight Madara, mainly because the gap was too big.
To put it bluntly, one finger of his Susanoo is comparable to Madara's full body Susanoo.
So, it's absolutely unnecessary!
After all, that would make him look like a bit of a bully.
If Madara is beaten into autism, wouldn't Ryosuke lose a tool man?
"Lightning release!"
Ryosuke clapped his hands in the air.
"Kirin!"
Boom!
The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Then, countless blue thunderclaps gathering in the dark clouds to form a Kirin hundreds of meters in size.
The Kirin roared and descended from the sky, just like the punishment from the God of Lightning.
It heavily hit the body of Madara's perfect Susanoo.
Rumbling!
Amidst the roar of heaven and earth cracking, the ground within a few kilometers was destroyed once again.
Far away
Minato, who was about to leave with his three students, looked at this scene and felt extremely shocked in his heart.
For Minato, who pursues strength to an almost obsessive level, he always believed that he was already very strong.
Even the Third Raikage might not be his opponent. At most, the match would end in a tie.
In such a world, he should already be a top existence, right?
Therefore, Minato has always been very proud of his strength.
He felt that he had lived up to his hard work over the past few years.
But now...
Looking at this scene of devastating battle more than ten kilometers away, Minato wondered if his perception of the world was correct?
The huge Kirim that descended from the sky, the blue giant flying in the sky, hundreds of meters tall, more spectacular than the mountains.
All these things deeply stimulated Minato.
It also subverted his original understanding of the ninja powerhouses.
"So....did I just compare myself to a group of small fish and shrimp in the fish pond?" Minato muttered to himself.
On the side, Obito, who was supported by Kakashi, shouted excitedly at this time, "Kakashi, Rin, did you see it just now? That blue giant, that is the ultimate power of our Uchiha clan, Susanoo!"
"Susanoo?"
Minato turned to look at Obito.
"Obito, you just said that the blue giant is the ultimate power of your Uchiha clan, Susanoo?"
As a leader among the younger generation of ninjas, Minato had never heard of Susanoo.
"That's right! According to the records in the clan, when the eyes of our Uchiha clan evolve from three tomoe to Mangekyō, we can use this ultimate power!"
Obito nodded, and said excitedly, "But as far as I know, only Madara-sama has reached this level!"
Actually Obito is wrong because Izuna, Madara's younger brother, had also awakened the Mangekyō.
It's just that Madara's reputation was too great, and Izuna died early, so no one knows.
"Obito, the Sharingan of your Uchiha clan is so powerful?!"
Rin looked at Obito in shock.
Just when Obito was about to feel proud, Rin suddenly said, "But... why is your strength so—
Although Rin didn't finish her words, Obito already understood what she meant.
Suddenly the smile on his face froze.
The original excitement was instantly poured with cold water, which made Obito's whole mood drop to the bottom.
Seeing Obito's appearance, Rin comforted him with a look of embarrassment.
"It's okay, Rin."
Obito waved his hand and said, "I'm not that weak yet, and sooner or later I will have such strength!"
"Well, Obito, you can definitely do it!" Rin nodded and said.
But she didn't think so in her heart.
At this time, Kakashi on the side suddenly pointed and said, "Obito, the ultimate power of your Uchiha clan seems to have been defeated."
"What?!!"
Obito hurriedly looked over.
The blue giant, which was as big as a mountain just now, had disappeared after that burst of earth-shattering explosion.
"How can this be?!"
Obito couldn't accept this fact.
That is the ultimate power of their Uchiha clan.
How could it lose?
While Obito couldn't accept this fact, Minato was thinking about a problem.
Just now Obito said that only Madara had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
So....
Who is this guy?
It can't be Madara, can it?
Besides, such a huge Susanoo can split several kilometers of ground with one sword.
The strength is so terrifying, but it was still blown away by the lightning beast that fell from the sky.
Who is the person who performed this ninjutsu?
But because his three students were still around, it was not easy to go to watch the battle at close range.
He wanted to see who these two guys with terrifying strength were.
Looking at the giant crater that was blown out in the distance, with a diameter exceeding several kilometers, he had a thought.
If he watched the battle at a close distance, would he have died just from the aftermath?
Although he has the Flying Thunder God Technique, and can teleport away, what if it's too late?
Then, worried about the situation, Minato didn't go to check it out further.
At the bottom of a huge crater several kilometers in diameter, on the crystallized ground, a figure lay there, eyes blank, staring at the sky.
At this moment, a hand waved in front of his eyes.
"Hey~! Are you okay?"
Ryosuke stood beside him and asked, though he knew full well that Madara was fine.
After all, he had control over the power and didn't intend to actually harm him, only to make him understand a fact.
That is, the strength gap between them was as vast as the galaxy and a planet.
Only when Madara truly realized that gap, would he fall into line and act as his tool.
Otherwise, how could such a rebellious person as Madara before him follow the orders of someone so young?
"Who the hell are you?"
Madara's eyes slowly moved to the person in front of him.
Although he was uninjured, that fact made it even more terrifying.
This person had controlled his power so precisely that while crushing his complete body Susanoo, he hadn't inflicted any damage on him.
As someone with immense power, the ability to avoid harming the target was a difficult thing to control.
It wasn't just about strength. It was about having absolute control.
This level could only be achieved by managing every detail with extreme precision.
This made him realize how terrifying the strength of this seemingly young person was.
Even if he were at his peak, he felt as weak as an ant in front of him.
So, he wondered, who was this person?
Why had he never heard of such an individual?
If he had known of someone with such overwhelming power, he would have avoided confrontation entirely, never recklessly engaging in battle.
After all, he had been willing to stay in a dilapidated cave for so many years for the ideal in his heart.
Avoiding a clash wasn't a matter of shame.
"Me? I'm Ryosuke. You forgot?"
Ryosuke smiled.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Madara slowly got up from the ground.
"You came to me, made me young again, and now you showed me your strength on purpose. You must not just want to see my desperate expression, right?"
Madara looked at Ryosuke and continued, "Tell me, why have you come to me?"
"What if I really just want to see you show a desperate expression?" Ryosuke smiled.
Madara looked at him, silent. Clearly, he was not convinced.
After a while, Ryosuke spoke, "Well, I do have other things for you to do."
Ryosuke spread his hands and said, "Your Eye of the Moon plan, I want you to start implementing it now."
"Why?" Madara asked.
He didn't ask how Ryosuke knew about the Eye of the Moon plan, because it didn't matter anymore.
Once Ryosuke mentioned it, the reason became irrelevant.
"A reason, huh? It's probably because I want to see someone." Ryosuke replied.
In reality, with his current strength, destroying the moon and releasing Kaguya was entirely within his capability.
However, doing so would bring immense disasters to earth.
Though Ryosuke was someone who often did as he pleased, he wasn't cold-blooded enough to sacrifice the entire world for his whims.
So, he needed Madara to execute the Eye of the Moon plan, which would allow Kaguya to escape without damaging the moon.
"See someone?"
Madara nodded and said, "I understand, I will cooperate with you."
Ryosuke wasn't sure whether Madara genuinely understood or was pretending, but that didn't matter.
He just needed his cooperation.
"Very good, don't worry. After the task is done, I'll give you a chance to escape your original fate."
Ryosuke clapped his hands and smiled at him.
"Escape my fate?"
Madara gave him a deep look, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, simply nodding.
Then, he asked, "What's the next step?"
"Go to Amegakure and retrieve your Rinnegan." Ryosuke said.
"Good." Madara answered simply.
Ryosuke then opened a red portal in front of them. He signaled for Madara to enter with him.
The two passed through the portal and disappeared from the giant pit in the blink of an eye.
In Amegakure
Despite being another world, it looked the same here, always gloomy with light rain.
Because it was the period of the third Great Ninja War, there were many patrolling ninjas around the village.
However, compared to the Second Great Ninja War, when several countries used the Land of Rain as a battleground, the situation in the village wasn't too bad.
At least, there were no large armies pressing down on the border.
At this time, a red portal suddenly appeared in the middle of the streets of Amegakure.
Following that, Ryosuke and Madara crossed the portal and appeared in the village.
The rain fell from the sky, but strangely, when it got about a meter above Ryosuke's head, it disappeared.
It was as though it wasn't raining at all.
"Are you going to do it, or should I?" Ryosuke asked Madara beside him.
"Let me handle it. It can be considered a warm up for me." Madara said lightly.
At the same time, Madara glanced at the ground, wondering why no one had followed.
Little did he know, when Ryosuke had demonstrated his overwhelming power, he had already scared off those who were plotting against him.
Meanwhile, Black Zetsu was probably off somewhere cursing, but that was none of Ryosuke's business.
Ryosuke wasn't interested in Black Zetsu—nothing more than a shadow of Kaguya's will. It wasn't worth his time.
