Chapter 316: Gang Attack
"Wh-what is that thing?!"
The rogue ninja on the island stared dumbfounded at that behemoth—their courage nearly frightened to pieces.
Originally they'd planned to profit from someone challenging the exchange, stealing some things amid the chaos.
But now seeing such terrifying enemies, they immediately discarded their little schemes, turning to flee outward.
The island immediately descended into chaos. No one dared staying here anymore.
Regardless, they were all shinobi—boats or not didn't affect their water-walking escape.
"Hahahaha..." Madara threw his head back laughing. "You just kicked and shattered Obito's Susanoo—do you think Susanoo amounts to only that?"
"Then let me tell you!"
"Susanoo's might has no upper limit!"
"However powerful the chakra, there's correspondingly strong Susanoo."
"Properly witness Perfect Susanoo's might!"
Madara crossed both blades, raising them before heavily slashing toward Jigen.
Blades not yet arrived—yet seemingly even space was torn. That violent chakra's surging air waves directly swept everything on the ground airborne. Roaring sounds resembled deities' fury.
"Truly a frog viewing heaven from a well!"
Jigen sneered coldly. His body rapidly dodged in the air. His figure transformed into barely visible black lines, shuttling freely amid the death dance woven by giant blades—ghostlike, easily avoiding Perfect Susanoo's attacks.
Though the complete form's frame proved massive, facing small, agile enemies like Jigen resembled anti-aircraft guns shooting mosquitoes—almost unable to demonstrate effective results.
Seemingly realizing his current state couldn't defeat Madara, Jigen's thought stirred. The "Karma" on his face began deeper unsealing.
As more energy released, a single horn slowly grew from behind Jigen's head, coiling beside it. His body's form also changed accordingly.
Dark red patterns spread from between his brows throughout his entire body. Surrounding air began twisting and trembling from violent energy fluctuations. Suffocating pressure instantly shrouded the battlefield.
"Never expected someone could actually make me enter second form for battle!"
Jigen's gaze turned cold. His body flashed, appearing at Perfect Susanoo's forehead position. Through the azure energy barrier, he locked gazes with Madara across space.
"Your so-called complete form you rely on isn't as powerful as you imagine!"
Speaking, Jigen's fist bombarded, smashing into Perfect Susanoo's forehead.
Crack!
Under Madara's shocked gaze, that nearly invincible energy shell cracked with a sound. Fine cracks spread rapidly like spider webs before ultimately shattering completely amid deafening explosions, thunderously bursting.
Azure crystalline fragments poured like rainstorms. Each piece reflected Madara's incredulous expression.
The absolute defense once standing at the shinobi world's pinnacle now transformed into falling stars throughout the sky.
Amid azure energy fragments scattering everywhere, Jigen's body resembled a cannonball, instantly crossing the long distance before heavily bombarding Madara's body.
Originally Edo Tensei bodies proved quite fragile. Jigen's attacks proved extremely powerful. Under this punch, Madara's body was immediately bombarded to fragments on the spot. Perfect Susanoo also transformed into energy dissipating in the air.
"Impossible!"
Now came Madara's turn being shocked.
His always-proud martial force received tremendous blows against Jigen. This made Madara's originally arrogant expression no longer maintainable. He stared at Jigen with disbelieving face.
Conversely, Jigen wore an indifferent expression without any surprise—his face lacking any proud look, as though what he'd just crushed wasn't the shinobi-world-shocking Susanoo but a fragile beach model.
In Otsutsuki Isshiki's heart, what God of Shinobi, what Uchiha Madara—merely slight embellishments across his long millennium career. Crushing them—wasn't that naturally expected?
"Sealing Technique: Daikokuten!"
Jigen's gaze focused. His black eye technique activated. While Madara's body hadn't recovered yet, he'd seal Madara.
His fingertip bloomed with ominous black vortexes. Surrounding light suddenly collapsed, forming passages toward nothingness.
Space around Madara twisted and rotated, attempting to suck Madara's body into alternate space.
Under massive spatial gravitational pulling, Edo Tensei debris on Madara peeled off continuously—like a dying candle gnawed by invisible giant beasts, pulling a fine ribbon in midair while drifting toward alternate space.
Madara's heart filled with unwillingness. But his body hadn't recovered—fundamentally lacking resistance capability. He could only watch helplessly as he was about to be sealed.
But at this critical moment, spatial fluctuation power suddenly inserted, landing on Jigen while stirring spatial ripples.
Jigen's heart jumped. Subconsciously activating "Sukunahikona," he rapidly escaped the original location.
Next moment, two spatial techniques collided head-on.
Shattered void bloomed with chaotic flashes, instantly grinding all space in that area to powder.
Madara naturally also was completely ground up within. But being Edo Tensei body, moments later he reassembled nearby, gradually outlining human form contours again.
After Jigen flashed away, following the direction spatial fluctuations came from, he saw Obito—originally kicked with half his body destroyed—now wearing tattered clothing, naked body exposed outside. But injuries already completely recovered. He rose from the ground while launching technique attacks at him.
"Not dead even from this?"
Jigen's brow furrowed tightly. His gaze swept across that pale half-body before understanding—recognizing it as White Zetsu's body.
"Thinking that relying on White Zetsu makes you truly immortal?"
Jigen snorted coldly. His body flashed, vanishing from the original location. Next instant he appeared behind Obito. His right leg swung like a steel whip, heavily lashing toward Obito.
But unexpectedly, his thunderous attack struck as though hitting air—passing through Obito's body without obstruction, causing no damage to Obito whatsoever.
But when Obito's gaze glanced at him, Jigen immediately sensed surrounding space beginning to fluctuate.
He hastily rapidly flashed away from that position, pulling distance farther while watching Obito with uncertain expression.
Jigen himself was also a space ninjutsu expert. He could sense Obito's Kamui attacks, could also understand why Obito wasn't subject to physical attacks.
But understanding was understanding. Wanting to crack such cheating tactics still proved difficult.
