"I… I can't move! My chakra… is stagnant! My mind… it's even affecting my mind!"
Madara attempts to infuse chakra but to no avail.
A sinking feeling engulfs him, and the surrounding darkness slowly consus his consciousness.
'What are those eyes and what kind of technique is this?' These are the only thoughts in Madara's mind.
Madara's consciousness turns blurry, and his body gives up all resistance.
Jingle…
Suddenly, the sound of a bell wakes him up.
--------------
Outside world, in the small valley.
Swish… Swish…
Suddenly, several kunais and shurikens target the group of earth shinobis and mbers of the unknown force.
Swoosh…
A kunai targets the blind spot of the burly earth shinobis and stops his charge to attack the defenseless Madara.
The burly earth shinobi sidesteps to avoid the kunai and moves forward.
Jingle…
However, at this mont, a small bell, tied on the top of kunai makes a jingling sound.
The noise gets louder and louder and echoes in the burly earth shinobi's ears. His vision turns blurry and he almost staggers and falls.
"A sound-based genjutsu?!"
The burly shinobi quickly makes a series of hand signs and dispels the genjutsu.
Huff… Huff…
He wipes his sweat and swipes his fingers across his ear. Blood leaks from his ears. His eyes narrow as he glances at a petite figure in the distance, the user of the genjutsu.
"We will handle her! Focus your attention on Madara." Suddenly, a hoarse voice sounds in the burly man's ears.
Whoosh… whoosh…
After the initial surprise attack, the group of unknown forces regroups and engages with the new enemy.
"Reinforcent is here!" Tatsuzo sighs in relief.
The new force is the mbers of the Uchiha clan from the branch family.
Whoosh… whoosh…
The mbers of the Uchiha clan reinforcent engage in battle with the attackers.
Even the petite figure is surrounded by several figures in black.
Clang… clang…
The clash of swords and kunais echoes in the silent surrounding. Sparks and fireballs fly everywhere as a heated battle starts at a mont's notice.
The petite figure wields a blade and swings it towards the incoming enemy.
Clang…
The enemy shinobi blocks the blade with his sword.
Swish…
Suddenly, another shinobi throws a shuriken at the petite figure's blind spot.
Bang…
The petite figure kicks the enemy in front and turns around.
Ding…
The figure adjusts the trajectory of the blade and parries the attack.
"Earth Style: Rock bullets,"
Suddenly, several small bullets fly towards the figure at an incredible speed.
Whoosh…
The figure kicks the ground to fall back while making a series of hand signs.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu,"
A massive fireball appears in front of the figure and easily sweeps away the rock bullet.
Boom…
The fireball lands among the enemy shinobi and explodes, creating a burst of fire.
Whoosh… Whoosh…
Several figure flies out of the explosion. A few figures have burn marks on their bodies.
However, the enemy has a tacit understanding. They glance at each other and surround the figure while attacking with different ans.
Soon, all mbers of the reinforcent are engaged in battle with the opponents. Even the mbers of the Konoha Uchiha branch are fighting against the enemy.
For a mont, the situation cos to a standstill.
"This is my chance!"
The burly shinobi takes advantage of the situation and closes the distance with a defenseless Madara.
Madara, who is caught in the strange genjutsu, has his guard lowered and his body exposed to all attacks.
The burly shinobi clenches his fist and infuses a large amount of Earth-release chakra into his arm.
"Earth Release: Super Weighted Boulder Strike,"
A layer of brown rocks coats his arm. However, he continues to infuse more chakra in his arm and the rock armor turns grey. The dense earth chakra solidifies, almost turning into a tal coating.
Haah…
A burst of chakra escapes from the thick tal-like shell, further increasing the power and strength of the attack. The man aims the punch at Madara's head, aiming to blow his head in a single strike.
BOOM…
The punch connects and raises a massive column of dust and debris from the force behind the strike. The ground beneath the burly man's feet cracks, creating a small crater around him.
However, instead of the joy of a successful attack; an ugly expression appears on the burly man's face.
Whoosh…
A gust of wind blows away the cloud of dust, revealing Madara's figure. Thick pale blue chakra flas envelop Madara's body, creating a barrier.
The burly man's attack is grazing the surface of blue flas around Madara's body. However, there is no damage, not even a scratch on Madara's body.
"W-what kind of defensive technique is this?"
The burly man's expression turns ugly. He hurriedly attempts to retreat.
Shiing…
However, at this mont, Madara slowly opens his eyes, revealing his Mangekyo Sharingan.
The burly shinobi's body freezes on the spot, unable to move an inch.
"A genjutsu?!"
The burly shinobi glances at his trembling hands and unresponsive body.
However, after casting a genjutsu on the earth shinobi, Madara ignores him and glances at the source of the early ntal attack.
A pair of cold eyes stares at him from the distance.
"Those eyes?!" Madara frowns.
"Let's retreat for now! It's useless to continue." The shinobi with the strange eyes mumbles in a hoarse voice.
Whoosh… whoosh…
Suddenly, several enemy shinobis retreat while throwing smoke bombs at their feet.
"Smoke bombs?!"
The Uchiha clan mber frowns.
The smoke screen creates a perfect avenue for the enemy to retreat while also targeting the weakness of the Sharingan.
Whoosh…
Another shinobi flickers beside the burly earth shinobi to aid him.
However, at this mont, Madara turns his attention to the Earth Shinobis.
Swoosh…
Suddenly, the blue flas behind Madara morphs into a massive hand. A massive chakra blade manifests in Susanoo's arm and swings it towards the two earth shinobis.
"Damn!"
The expression of earth shinobis turns ugly, and he hurriedly makes a series of hand signs.
The massive chakra blade falls to the ground.
BOOM…
A colossus wave of dust and debris rises in the air for several ters. The powerful strike of the blade cleaves several tens of ters of land. Several enemy shinobis are hacked and smashed to death along the path of the destruction.
However, the effect of the attack isn't over yet.
SHUA…
After the initial strike, a burst of energy escapes from the tip of the blade and continues to travel forward. The energy burst reaps another batch of life before dissipating.
Gulp…
Several enemy shinobis gulp their saliva in fear. This is the first ti they felt what true terror is.
Even the mbers of the Uchiha clan are stunned by this scene, freshening up the mories of the war between the Senju and the Uchiha; especially the final between Hashirama and Madara.
Previously, because of the imnse intensity of the battle, they could only observe it from a distance. But now, after bearing witness to the power of the strike first-hand, they have a newfound respect and fear for the current leader of the Uchiha clan.
However, a frown appears on Madara's face after the strike. He narrows his eyes and glances in a direction.
Huff… Huff…
The earth shinobi from earlier is supporting the burly shinobi. Both of their arms are severed and bleeding profusely.
Hmm…
Madara notices a thick carapace shell around their body.
'So, this shell repelled the attack of my Susanoo and adjusted its trajectory by a few centiters.'
During the Susanoo's strike, Madara noticed it. Just when the chakra blade was about to land on top of the two earth shinobis. The second earth shinobi made a series of rapid hand signs and summoned a brown carapace shell to wrap around them.
This thick shell was able to repel the strike's trajectory by a few centiters and allowed the two earth shinobis to survive with a severed arm.
The duo then used the montum of the explosion to launch themselves away.
"Let's retreat!"
The burly earth shinobi clenches his teeth and signals his people to leave.
Similarly, the mysterious shinobi with unknown eyes also retreats under the protection of his people. Both his eyes are bleeding profusely from overtaxing his chakra.
"Did I allow you to leave?" Madara's cold voice echoes in the valley.
He takes a step forward to intercept the retreating enemies.
Shiing…
Suddenly, the enemy with unknown Dojutsu turns to Madara and activates his powers.
A pair of massive blue eyes appear behind Madara in his mindscape. Madara's footstep pauses as he struggles slightly to free himself from another ntal attack.
It only takes a few seconds for Madara to break free. However, this buys enough ti for the enemy to escape.
Madara glances in their direction with narrowed eyes.
"An unknown Dojutsu with strange powers!" Madara mumbles to himself.
