"Delay ? You want to delay ?" Sasuke chuckled. What was the point of delaying him? He turned his gaze to the other end of the battlefield, where the Gedo Statue was already wreaking havoc, slaughtering everything in its path. Sasuke nodded. "Are you waiting for reinforcents?"
Madara didn't deny it, simply smiling in response. His eyes were locked onto Sasuke, not daring to relax for even a mont when facing Uchiha Sasuke.
"Just one person? Trying to achieve that is quite difficult, Madara," Sasuke said with a smirk.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Sasuke moved like a phantom, appearing in front of Madara in an instant, surrounded by black lightning. Having exited Sage Mode and already having used the Eight Gates, Sasuke couldn't re-enter Sage Mode at this point. However, even without it, he still possessed the Chakra Fla. In an instant, he erupted with chakra, using the Lightning Release: Godspeed to move at an unimaginable speed far beyond what Madara could react to.
One strike!
In the blink of an eye, Sasuke's fist shot toward Madara, causing his expression to change drastically. In that mont, Madara wanted to dodge, but he realized his speed was far too slow compared to Sasuke's.
However!
Madara raised his arm to block.
Boom!
The punch landed on Madara's body, and his arm instantly disintegrated. The reanimated body couldn't withstand Sasuke's fist. Madara flipped backward, landing on one hand and creating distance between himself and Sasuke to avoid another attack.
From this single strike, it was clear that Sasuke's condition had also deteriorated significantly. If that was the case...
Zap!
The sound of crackling lightning echoed as Sasuke appeared behind Madara.
"Too slow, Madara. This speed is like a snail crawling to . It has no intimidation at all," Sasuke said, raising his black rod and preparing to stab it into Madara's body.
In that mont, Madara's face showed a mix of shock and helplessness. He had wanted to keep his trump card hidden until the end, but it seed there was no choice now. His Mangekyō Sharingan began to change, transforming into the Rinnegan.
Hum!
In an instant, Shinra Tensei erupted.
The terrifying repulsive force blasted Sasuke away. To be precise, Sasuke had already begun retreating the mont he sensed the power of the Rinnegan. The black rod was instantly shattered.
Sasuke stood at a distance, staring at Madara.
"The Rinnegan... Finally decided to use it, huh?"
Hearing Sasuke's words, Madara was slightly surprised. It felt as though Sasuke had already known about his Rinnegan. While the Rinnegan wasn't a surprise to Sasuke, it was a shock to the other ninjas on the battlefield.
Reanimated ninjas could retain their abilities from when they were alive, including their Kekkei Genkai. But wasn't Madara from the Uchiha clan? It made sense for him to have the Sharingan. But why did he possess the power of the Rinnegan?
Why?
How was this possible?
Wasn't the Rinnegan the sacred eye of the Sage of Six Paths?
Ever since the leader of the Akatsuki had the Rinnegan, it seed like others had started to possess it as well. It was as if the Rinnegan was being mass-produced.
Sasuke also had the Rinnegan. What was going on?
"Could the Rinnegan be an evolution of the Sharingan?"
"Impossible, right?"
One ninja boldly voiced their speculation, and the others began to consider it more seriously. It did seem plausible. Otherwise, how could Madara have the Rinnegan, and Sasuke as well? But then why did mbers of the Uzumaki clan also have the Rinnegan?
There were too many questions.
"You already knew I had the Rinnegan?" Madara asked.
Sasuke smiled. Leaving aside the fact that Sasuke knew the plot, his ability to sense chakra was more than enough to detect the power within Madara. If he couldn't even sense Madara's chakra, he would be utterly useless.
"I'm well aware of the Wood Release power within you, Madara," Sasuke replied.
Hearing this, Madara was montarily stunned. So, it seed Sasuke had also gained the Rinnegan by obtaining Wood Release cells, just like him. However, Sasuke seed different his Wood Release power was seamlessly integrated into his body. It appeared that Sasuke hadn't simply fused with Hashirama's cells but had developed the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai on his own, using that power to awaken the Rinnegan.
Relying on his own strength, Sasuke had only managed to awaken one Rinnegan. It seed that combining Hashirama's power was necessary to obtain a pair of Rinnegan. What a pity for Sasuke he had been too confident and missed the opportunity to awaken both Rinnegan.
What a sha.
"Since you already know, there's no point in hiding it anymore," Madara said. "Speaking of which, you also have the Rinnegan, Sasuke. Why don't we see whose Rinnegan is stronger?"
As soon as Madara finished speaking, Sasuke raised his hand toward him.
"Let's test it, then."
Banshō Ten'in!
In an instant, Madara's body was pulled toward Sasuke. Madara's eyes narrowed slightly as he prepared to counter with the sa technique, but the mont he tried to activate his power, he realized he was completely outmatched. The force of Sasuke's Banshō Ten'in easily overwheld his own, leaving him unable to resist.
How could this be? Sasuke only had one Rinnegan, while Madara had two. How could his Rinnegan be so much weaker than Sasuke's?
Madara's expression darkened. If this continued, he would be trapped by Sasuke's black rods. That couldn't happen.
In mid-air, Madara clasped his hands together. "Wood Release: World of Trees!"
Instantly, the ground around Sasuke erupted with wooden tendrils. Sasuke, however, simply smiled and ford a single hand seal.
"Wood Release: World of Trees!"
Wood Release against Wood Release. Sasuke effortlessly blocked Madara's technique and even shattered it in the process.
Seeing this, Madara's eyes narrowed.
Susanoo!
A massive Susanoo appeared, its blade slashing toward Sasuke. Sasuke raised his hand, and Shinra Tensei erupted, easily deflecting the Susanoo's attack. With a burst of force, he even shattered the Susanoo's blade!
Madara was stunned. He quickly turned and dashed toward Naruto's location. Delaying Sasuke was proving too difficult; he needed to capture Naruto imdiately.
But Sasuke had anticipated this move.
A black lightning-infused Kusanagi sword struck Madara's body, paralyzing him with lightning. In that instant, Sasuke appeared behind Madara and grabbed his shoulder.
"When it cos to speed, I fear no one..."
Madara's expression was grim. He had never expected that his trump card, the Rinnegan, would be so powerless against Sasuke. Was it because of the Rinnegan's suppression effect? Why was his Rinnegan so much weaker than Sasuke's? Was it because he was in a reanimated body and not truly alive?
Yes, that had to be it.
"You can't touch the Nine-Tails," Sasuke said.
Madara smirked. "You're right, I can't touch the Nine-Tails... but soone else can!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, appeared next to the Fourth Hokage. With a single palm strike, he disrupted the seals controlling the reanimated ninjas, breaking the triple seal Sasuke had placed on him.
Seeing this, Sasuke's expression changed.
"This is bad..."
