Seeing Madara’s Wood Elent clone appear, Edo Itachi imdiately scooped up Sasuke and, without looking back, accelerated his retreat.
The Third Raikage Edo, under his control, grabbed Kisa and swiftly fled.
Itachi wasn’t foolish.
He knew who he could fight and which enemies he couldn’t.
This was the infamous Uchiha Madara; even just a Wood Elent clone was a freak capable of unleashing the fourth form of Perfect Susano’o.
Itachi didn’t think they could defeat the opponent.
To protect Sasuke, he didn’t dare risk seeking death...
"Hmph! Escaping quickly. Clever little brats..."
Madara’s Wood Elent clone watched Edo Itachi and the others flee, not rushing to act.
After absorbing Dragon Kabuto’s senjutsu chakra, the clone was unstable. Even if he could capture Sasuke, he might not ensure his safety.
Let those ninja descendants hop around for now. It wasn’t too late to pursue them after dealing with Nagato and the Juubi.
"As for this guy, he’s under Izanami. For now, he’ll stay by my side."
Madara lifted the dazed Kabuto, who had exited Sage Mode but remained trapped in Izanami’s infinite genjutsu loop.
He wouldn’t wake up anyti soon. Even if he did, his consciousness would likely be forcibly altered, turning him into Konoha Village’s lapdog.
That wasn’t what Madara needed.
Only after Kabuto awoke would Madara use his own genjutsu to forcibly control him, so he had to keep him close.
Why not kill him?
A ninja capable of using the forbidden Edo Tensei was, after all, a genius.
Edo Madara, now bereft of all his pawns and lacking superior pieces, saw Kabuto as nearly qualifying to be one.
Soon, Madara’s Wood Elent clone, carrying Kabuto, returned to the original body.
Nagato ignored the antics on Edo Itachi’s side. He was fully focused on controlling the Juubi to attack the armored Kyuubi, struggling imnsely, with no spare energy to notice others.
Even with the Juubi, Edo Madara was an unprecedentedly formidable foe for him. Only by exerting all his strength did he have a slim chance of winning!
However, Edo Madara, now with Kabuto and senjutsu chakra, was growing bored of the battle.
"Nagato, though you’re not as strong as Hashirama, you’ve made dance a little."
"I acknowledge you! But it’s ti to end this farce."
"When it’s over, I’ll let you dream sweetly forever!"
Madara tore off his armor and upper clothing, revealing Hashirama’s face on his chest.
Simultaneously, the Wood Elent clone injected all the carried senjutsu chakra into the main body.
The Hashirama face on Madara’s chest displayed the distinctive sage eye markings, though they seed different from the original Hashirama’s Sage Mode eye shadow.
Likely, this was the difference between Ryuchi Cave’s senjutsu and Shikkotsu Forest’s senjutsu. For Madara, the distinction wasn’t significant.
"This is senjutsu chakra?"
"This power... diocre. But sufficient for use."
Madara sneered dismissively. Kabuto’s senjutsu chakra wasn’t as strong as Hashirama’s, but it was adequate for now.
Edo Madara suddenly opened his Rinnegan, combining doujutsu and senjutsu.
The Kyuubi, wrapped in Susano’o, donned additional Wood Elent armor, with hundreds of wooden tails extending from the armor’s back!
These Wood Elent tails were then cloaked in Susano’o’s mantle.
At this mont, the ’Ultimate Composite Super Abnormal Kyuubi Gundam’ with triple-layered armor was officially ford!
[Sage Art: Bijuu Susano’o: Thousand Arms]!
Rinnegan Senjutsu Wood Elent Kyuubi Susano’o.
Madara had now fully surpassed his living self, breaking through the Super Kage limit to reach the quasi-Six Paths level, unattainable by human power!
The Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o was even more absurd, its power and size exploding dramatically.
Its stature now closely rivaled the Juubi’s.
The hundreds of giant Wood Elent tails waving behind it resembled Hashirama’s Thousand-Handed Buddha Statue, instinctively triggering deep fear and threat in the Juubi.
Even under Nagato’s Rinnegan control, the Juubi was nearly immune to genjutsu weaknesses, but it couldn’t escape the Wood Elent’s natural counter—or rather, the Wood Elent’s inherent suppression of all Bijuu.
The senjutsu-enhanced armored Kyuubi not only gained a power boost but also acquired a special Bijuu-restraining effect.
The Wood Elent could absorb Bijuu chakra, making it nearly impossible for the Juubi to siphon Madara’s chakra anymore.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"This?"
"Wood Elent? Senjutsu?"
"This guy even gained the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama’s power?!"
Seeing the Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o’s power surge, Nagato couldn’t suppress a horrified expression, clearly shocked by Madara’s extraordinary move.
But the living Madara who’d beaten him before hadn’t shown Wood Elent power?
Was he deed unworthy of facing it back then?
Or was there another reason?
Nagato had no ti to ponder these questions. The epically enhanced Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o charged the Juubi with even greater ferocity.
The sky-covering Wood Elent tails, backed by Susano’o, rained down like a storm, piercing the Juubi.
The scene reminded Madara of his past battle with Hashirama, the sky-filling giant Wood Elent Buddha hands, dense and terrifying, nearly despair-inducing.
Each Buddha hand held devastating power comparable to a Bijuudama!
Hundreds, even thousands of Bijuudama unleashed simultaneously—only a freak like Hashirama could achieve that.
Now, Madara had learned and wielded this technique. With the dual support of Edo Tensei chakra and Kyuubi chakra, he surpassed Hashirama’s True Thousand Hands, montarily overwhelming the Juubi!
He also used nurous Wood Elent tail spikes to skewer the Juubi like a kebab!
"Roar—!"
The Juubi roared in fury, its sound waves and shockwaves spreading tangibly.
It finally broke free from Nagato’s control!
But tragically, pierced by countless Wood Elent tail spikes, the Juubi couldn’t escape the Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o’s bindings.
Its ten tails seed pitifully few against hundreds.
In endurance and attack power, how could it compare to the Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o, ard and clad in triple absolute defenses?
The Juubi was pinned to the ground, with nurous tendrils snaking along its mouth, burrowing deep into its body.
While preventing the Juubi from charging a Bijuudama, it inversely siphoned the Juubi’s chakra!
Of course, the Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o wasn’t unscathed, also pierced by flesh spikes sprouting from the Juubi’s body.
Susano’o felt no pain, Wood Elent felt no pain.
The only pain-capable Kyuubi was under Madara’s genjutsu, unable to howl in agony.
Clearly, a world without pain had been achieved!
Seizing the mont when the Juubi was restrained, Edo Madara himself leapt out of the Thousand-Arm Bijuu Susano’o.
He shot straight toward Edo Nagato atop the Juubi’s head!
