"Hmph, this is merely evolution…"
Obito snorted disdainfully, but in the next instant, his expression changed drastically.
"Watch out!"
In an instant, a Chakra gale had already swept over the three of them. Takemi appeared before him like a ghost. The short blade condensed from Yin-Yang Release, carrying a vast energy, instantly slashed towards them.
Boom!
The deafening explosion reverberated, and in the huge dust, the three of them were instantly sent flying backward.
"Damn it, still as insidious as ever…"
Obito cursed under his breath. Kimimaro's Byakugan scanned the surroundings and immediately shouted in a low voice.
"Be careful, he's coming."
"Hmph!"
Nagato didn't hesitate at all. Black staffs of Yin-Yang Release appeared in his hands, and he instantly controlled the giant beasts to charge towards Takemi.
Roar—
The giant beasts let out earth-shattering roars, their movements shaking the ground. However, Takemi's tiny figure had already leaped onto their heads.
"Sometimes, bigger isn't necessarily better."
Boom!
With a swing of the short blade in his hand, in an instant, the Giant Crustacean was cut in half with a single slash. He then stepped on half of the corpse and leaped up, simultaneously firing a black Chakra.
Buzz—
His Chakra erupted at this moment, and the black Chakra instantly transformed into black staffs, instantly heading towards the centipede, rhino, and wild boar below. These three giant beasts had no reaction whatsoever and were almost pinned in place. And in mid-air, the short blade in his hand swung again.
The visible blade instantly swept past the Giant Drill-Beaked Bird that was attacking him. This bird was split open without even a chance to scream.
"What's more…"
Takemi lightly stepped on the bird's corpse, his figure spun in the sky, and in the next moment, he once again charged towards the three of them.
"Do you really think your evolution is like mine?"
"Die!"
Obito roared, instantly rushing forward, while Nagato and Kimimaro also followed suit at this moment.
Boom—
Boom—
Boom—
In just a blink of an eye, the entire battlefield erupted once again.
The deafening roars and the howls of the giant summoned beasts rose and fell, and the tangible shockwaves, carrying dust, violently spread in all directions. In an instant, the ground shook incessantly, as if experiencing continuous earthquakes.
Under the unextinguished flames, the entire battlefield looked terrifying.
The Allied Shinobi Forces in the rear were left dizzy and disoriented by the huge dust and tremors.
Many ninjas who had already been unable to get up from the True Several Thousand Hands were now so shaken that they had lost their sense of direction.
Even Jiraiya and Tsunade could only retreat backward, dodging the surging air currents and splashing debris. They found it difficult to intervene in such a battle, and now Jiraiya seemed to truly understand Tsunade's words.
"We're really just causing trouble for Takemi here…"
Jiraiya couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and in the battlefield, Takemi's voice rang out again.
"You are completely ignorant of your own situation. You are truly a bunch of pitiful wretches."
"And even if there really is evolution…"
"Do you think you are worthy?"
Along with his voice, the piercing roar grew even more intense.
And while Takemi was beating them up, the battle in Konoha also intensified.
Boom!
Inside Konoha, deafening roars continuously echoed, and the figures of Madara and Sasuke rapidly flickered.
The battle between these two instantly caught the attention of the ninjas stationed in the village, as Konoha was naturally a key defensive point during the Great Ninja War. However, at this moment, they could only watch the battle unfold before them, they couldn't intervene at all.
"Too fast, too strong."
The battle between Madara and Sasuke, two Uchiha, was not something other ninja could easily interfere with. The speed of these two was extremely great, and their power was also extremely terrifying. Everyone mostly saw afterimages flickering, which left them powerless to do anything.
"Damn it."
Naruto had already arrived at the battlefield. He originally wanted to use Flying Thunder God to get to Sasuke's side and fight alongside him. After all, they both had each other's kunai, but Kushina had pulled him back.
"Don't be impulsive. This is our village. Your most important task right now is to protect the village and prevent greater destruction, not to create more destruction."
Naruto knew he couldn't be impulsive after hearing this, but watching the battle between Madara and Sasuke made him secretly anxious. Moreover, he could tell that Sasuke actually had no advantage whatsoever.
"Hmm?"
However, just as he was worrying, he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head, his gaze directed towards the Hyuga clan in the distance.
"Brat, don't think that just because you've gained these eyes and improved, you've truly caught up to me."
On a high mountain, Madara grabbed Sasuke's wrist and spoke in a low voice.
"While I admit you've become much more agile, in my eyes, that's all it is. And I dislike you even more now."
Madara truly disliked Sasuke. This kid looked almost exactly like Izuna, yet he chose to follow and learn from the person who killed Izuna. He strongly suspected that this whole thing was Tobirama's deliberate doing. That evil and insidious man just wanted to use such things to disgust him.
He wanted to strangle Sasuke right now, but Sasuke's Flying Thunder God made it not so easy for him to succeed.
"You're really verbose."
Sasuke was also somewhat annoyed with Madara. He spoke coldly.
"If you could, would you still be spouting nonsense here? A guy like you, who's already dead, should roll back into a museum."
Whoosh—
With a flash of his figure, Sasuke had already broken free from Madara's control. The short sword in his hand, radiating Purple Lightning, heavily struck towards Madara.
"It seems I'm being underestimated."
Madara didn't react much to Sasuke's actions. Besides wanting to strangle Sasuke, he was also curious about Black Zetsu's situation.
However, after a moment's thought, an idea instantly formed in his mind. Perhaps he could make a bigger commotion to provide Black Zetsu with a better environment.
'Moreover, fighting here, even if Hashirama came, he probably wouldn't be able to fight freely.'
He still hadn't seen Hashirama, which meant he was currently not in Konoha but on the front lines. This made him slightly disappointed. But it didn't matter. He also needed to warm up, and the bigger the commotion, the faster Hashirama would arrive.
"Then, let me show you the gap between us."
Madara snorted coldly, and in an instant, Susanoo appeared around him.
Susanoo drew its long sword and instantly swung it towards Sasuke, his cold voice resonating.
"Besides, you are neither Hashirama nor Takemi. You have never been in my eyes."
Boom—
Facing this fierce strike, Sasuke instantly dodged, narrowly avoiding it.
However, the forest behind him was instantly engulfed in a storm. Countless trees snapped in an instant, and a deep crack appeared in the ground.
"Tch."
Sasuke cursed under his breath. He immediately activated his own Susanoo, and purple Chakra enveloped his entire body.
In just a blink of an eye, two Perfect Susanoo stood within Konoha.
'I can't fight here, or the entire village will suffer. I have to take him outside.' Sasuke thought to himself.
He instantly controlled Susanoo to spread its wings and soar into the sky.
"You relic of an old era, don't come out here to make a fool of yourself. You say you don't have me in your eyes? What a coincidence, neither do I."
"Hmph, ridiculous."
Madara easily saw through Sasuke's thoughts. He sneered and instantly controlled Susanoo to fly into the sky. And his Perfect Susanoo immediately extended four arms, each holding a long sword. Under his control, Susanoo once again swung its massive blade.
"You are still far too inferior compared to me."
"Hmph."
Sasuke hadn't expected Madara to be so fast, but he immediately controlled his Susanoo to quickly retaliate. However, as the hundred-meter long sword descended, its overwhelming power was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Even though Sasuke tried his best to defend, his Susanoo still had part of its frontal armor shattered by the residual impact, causing him to lose balance and stumble in the air. But this situation was already good. At least this time he wasn't as powerless as before.
"Hmph, indeed, some progress."
Madara nodded slightly at the sight, but soon his gaze sharpened.
"But this is just the beginning. So, how will you respond next?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other arms of his Susanoo also raised their swords and slashed down at Sasuke with overwhelming force.
Rumble...
Another roar, and the entire sky trembled continuously.
As the hundred-meter long swords swung, swirling Chakra formed storms across the sky. These surging storms spilled outwards and fell to the ground, instantly causing the entire Konoha to seem to sway.
