Chapter 275: The Tailed Beasts' Total Defeat
Suddenly, a burst of chakra chains shot out, catching Uchiha Madara completely off guard. In an instant, two of them bound him tightly.
Soon after, the remaining three chains curved back around, once again wrapping around him and binding him heavily.
Madara immediately felt a powerful constraining force restraining his movements. His actions were severely hindered, and even the flow of chakra inside his body was slightly disrupted.
Looking down at the crimson chakra chains wrapped around him, Madara chuckled softly and said with admiration, "Not bad… but that's all."
"Compared to me, you're still far too weak."
With just a light surge of his chakra, without even making any other movements, Uzumaki Kushina's Adamantine Sealing Chains shattered instantly.
The red chains splintered apart one after another, and the backlash transmitted straight to Kushina, making her spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Her expression changed drastically.
"This technique can easily restrain the Nine-Tails!"
"To think he could break it so effortlessly… His power is overwhelming!"
Kushina's shock weighed heavily on everyone else.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara stood before them like an invincible god, radiating despair.
"The game is over."
"Accept your fate."
Breaking Kushina's sealing technique, Madara stopped wasting words.
While everyone was still in shock, he swiftly subdued the weakest hosts—the Six-Tails' jinchūriki and the One-Tail's jinchūriki.
Then, using Wood Release, he easily captured the wild Three-Tails.
Immediately after, he sent the Two-Tails' jinchūriki flying with a single kick, and then stomped down hard on the Seven-Tails' host.
Every strike he launched was full force, without mercy.
His goal was to eliminate his targets as quickly as possible and complete his plan.
Thus, each victim collapsed on the spot upon being struck, falling into a deep, dreamlike slumber.
Madara's cold gaze turned toward the remaining fighters—Konan, Kushina, Killer Bee, Rōshi, and Han.
"Sealing Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains!"
Unwilling to give up, Kushina once again unleashed her proudest technique against Madara.
But this was more than just a sealing art—it could both attack and defend.
When used as a sealing technique, it could easily suppress even powerful enemies.
When used offensively, the chains could strike at close, mid, or long range.
Knowing she couldn't seal Madara, Kushina switched tactics, using her chains to launch attacks instead.
Under her control, the chakra chains moved like nimble arms, striking Madara from different angles.
Yet he effortlessly deflected each attack.
"Killer Bee, right? Drop us to the ground," he called out to Konan.
"But…"
Konan hesitated for a moment.
She quickly understood his intention, however, and guided the paper bird down to the ground.
Madara immediately pursued without hesitation.
Once on solid ground, Killer Bee, Rōshi, and Han split apart and charged at Madara.
At the same time, Kushina launched another assault with her chains, while Konan searched for an opening.
"Whether in the air or on the ground, you cannot defeat me."
Facing their charge, Madara remained calm and unmoved.
Only when they got close did he finally start moving, his speed increasing with every step.
In a flash, Madara became a blur.
A series of heavy thuds—"boom, boom, boom, boom"—echoed in quick succession.
The first to fall were Rōshi and Han.
Battle-hardened as they were, they thought their taijutsu might let them match Madara on solid ground.
But the instant they clashed, both were instantly knocked down.
They hadn't even seen how he struck them. Dazed and reeling, their heads spun as if the world itself was collapsing, nearly knocking them unconscious.
"His punches are so heavy!" Rōshi gasped in shock.
"I couldn't even see his movements!" Han said, equally shaken.
Seeing them both taken down in a single move, struggling to get up, Killer Bee immediately shifted into full battle mode.
"Ninja Art—Seven Swords Style—"
But just as he was about to display his proud fusion of taijutsu and swordsmanship, Madara appeared in front of him in an instant, giving him no chance.
"On another day, I might have enjoyed watching you perform… but not now."
With that, he drove two chakra rods toward Bee's legs.
Yet Killer Bee's reflexes exceeded Madara's expectations—he vanished in a sudden blur, leaving the rods embedded in the ground.
Madara raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Turning his head, he saw Bee already at his right side, launching another attack. "You've got some skill… but not enough."
"In front of me, nothing you do matters."
As he spoke, Madara tilted his head aside to dodge Kushina's incoming chains, while several more chakra rods appeared in his hands.
He charged straight at Bee—
But then, a deafening blast erupted beside him.
"Boom!"
The explosion on his right side tore half of his body apart with sheer force.
Madara halted, turning toward Konan.
She was now directing swarms of paper bombs to attack him—the earlier blast had been her doing, catching him off guard.
Watching his torn body rapidly regenerate, Madara changed his mind. "So be it. I'll eliminate you first."
In an instant, he vanished from Bee and Kushina's sight.
The next second, he appeared behind Konan, ghostlike and silent.
Showing no mercy, he drove a chakra rod through her body.
Her chakra was immediately disrupted, her body gravely injured, and she lost all ability to fight.
"That's one nuisance gone."
With Konan down, Madara turned to Kushina and Killer Bee. "You two… still want to dance?"
Their answer came in the form of Bee's blades and Kushina's chakra chains.
