It was as if he had covered the Susanoo with a layer of lightning armor. But he didn't get the desired effect. Torifu's Crystal Release didn't have the same weakness as Earth Release. Lightning Release had no effect on it.
The crystal vines continued to gnaw at the Susanoo, making it unable to advance or retreat. Madara immediately dispelled his Susanoo. He leaped high off Torifu's crystal vines! He directly swung the scythe in his hand down at him! But Torifu could fly and could easily move in the air. This clumsy attack didn't even require much effort to dodge.
After missing his attack, Madara immediately activated his Susanoo in mid-air! In just an instant, the perfect Susanoo appeared again. Without any extra words, he swung both swords down at the same time. This time, Torifu couldn't dodge and could only take it head-on. But just as the two swords were about to touch Torifu's palm, a cloud of mist suddenly exploded and turned into a few cloud cranes that scattered. The sudden disappearance of the weapon made Madara unable to react for a moment.
Torifu seized the opportunity and quickly made hand signs. The clouds in the sky began to gather and form a long sword. Madara looked up and saw that this was the very same move that had instantly killed him back then! This kid was doing it on purpose! However, he wasn't as worried as he was back then. He could feel that the power of this attack was not as strong as it was back then. It was a lot weaker. Back then, Madara was instantly killed without any ability to resist, but this time, he wasn't as afraid. The two swords in his hands condensed again, and he swung at the falling cloud sword! When the two attacks collided, a fierce light burst out! It was as if a small sun had appeared in the sky above Konoha.
The battle between the two undoubtedly attracted the attention of Konoha's night watch guards. They quickly assembled a team of ninjas and rushed toward the mountain in the back, wanting to find out what was going on. Torifu also noticed the friendly markers of the team on the map. But this kind of battle was not something they could participate in. One careless move, and even he would be at a disadvantage, let alone these Chūnin. They would just be throwing their lives away. He immediately sent a clone to intercept them.
"What did you have White Zetsu do? My Sensei can't possibly have not noticed the battle here yet."
Madara smiled and waved his hand. "Don't be so nervous. I didn't kill him, and I don't have the ability to either. I just had White Zetsu go and get something."
"It's my Sensei's flesh and blood, isn't it?" The smiling Madara suddenly became gloomy when he heard Torifu's words, and he was a little in disbelief.
"How do you know that?!"
"I can't tell you!" Torifu clapped his hands! The ground began to shake violently! Even the giant Susanoo had a hard time standing steady. It was swaying and trying to find its balance! Under such a violent tremor, the ground finally cracked! But a blinding light suddenly burst out from the cracks! Then, countless crystal spikes shot out from the cracks! They pierced through all objects without discrimination! Whether it was trees, animals, or people, as long as they were standing above where the crystals grew, they were instantly pierced by the spikes. Fortunately, there were no other enemies here besides Madara and the puppet. The crystal spikes grew as tall as trees! Torifu had intentionally controlled the longest spike! It pierced through the Susanoo's defense and directly into the Susanoo's control room.
After dodging it, Madara had no expression on his face. He punched the entire crystal into a million pieces. The Susanoo also began to slowly heal. But it seemed that Torifu's ninjutsu wasn't over yet! Countless growing crystals began to spread toward Madara, and everywhere they went were sharp spikes! They shimmered with a cold light! Like a hell of blades, they continuously rotated around the Susanoo and split into more crystals to attack Madara. Facing these, Madara adopted the most effective method.
And that was to destroy all of them! He found the thickest one in a cluster of crystals and then directly shattered it. The other crystals also began to shatter.
"You're not bad, but you're still a lot weaker than your elder."
Torifu nodded. "That's true. I've been working toward being like him, but there's still a long way to go."
If Torifu could truly reach the height of Kumotsuru Kajin one day, he might be able to have a lifespan of a few thousand years, right? It was a shame that they weren't in the same power system, and the ancestor didn't leave behind any methods for cultivation. But that was fine. Torifu didn't have much of a desire for eternal life. It was great if he could have it, but he wouldn't force it if he couldn't. After all, a peaceful life was his goal.
"I heard from Uchiha Setsuna that you have a very powerful killing move that requires the help of the sun, but unfortunately, it's night right now!" He suddenly released his chakra, shattering all the crystals around him. One of the two swords in his hand was burning with a fierce flame, and the other was wrapped in a blinding lightning bolt! Then, he swung them at Torifu at the same time! The two sword auras merged together and continuously exploded! The ground was also torn open! This one strike, carrying an immense power, attacked Torifu!
Torifu's expression was grim. Then, he suddenly spread his wings wide! A boundless cloud surged out from his wings! It formed a huge shield! The moment it came into contact with the sword aura, the shield suddenly dissipated! Madara was also a little surprised when he saw this, but when he looked closely, he found that the clouds hadn't dissipated but had turned into a fine net that wrapped around the sword aura! When Torifu saw that he had succeeded, he frantically released cloud chakra, wrapping it into a huge cloud ball! But the sword aura inside seemed to be unstable. It hadn't run out of chakra and was still continuously exploding.
"Uchiha Madara, this is the Konoha village that you built. Although your visit this time has an impure purpose, I'll still give you a gift!" Torifu directly threw the cloud ball wrapped with the lightning and fire sword aura at Madara!
With such a huge attack, Madara couldn't dodge it at all, and his slash felt like it had hit a marshmallow; there was no resistance at all! Just like that, his entire body, along with his Susanoo, was pushed back, and the cloud ball exploded at this moment! The boundless cloud chakra surged out all at once! It was like a reversed waterfall that went straight into the sky! It also contained lightning and fire! This wasn't the end! In an instant, all the puppets appeared next to Torifu and released their most powerful abilities at the same time! So many ninjutsu merging into the cloud waterfall at once generated enough power to blow up an entire mountain!
A rumbling sound echoed throughout all of Konoha. Everyone was woken up by it. They all ran into the streets to look at the mountain in the back. A blinding light was flashing there, illuminating all of Konoha. When all the ninjutsu had dissipated and the clouds had also gradually cleared, a huge pit appeared on the ground, but there was no one inside.
