Whether it was Hiruzen and the other ninjas, or the toads of Mount Myoboku, they all felt an incredibly powerful force pressing down on them, pinning their bodies to the ground, unable to move.

"What kind of power is this?"

"This power is too overwhelming, I can’t move my body at all."

"Just the impact alone has such exaggerated power, how terrifying must Uchiha Madara’s slash be?"

With one move, everyone, every toad, felt utterly crushed. This power was simply divine.

"So strong." Kazekaze gritted his teeth, using all his strength to barely withstand Susanoo’s slash. Even Kazekaze couldn’t push back this power. In the end, the immense power and the giant chakra blade slammed down, pinning Kazekaze to the ground.

"Unbelievable." Uchiha Madara hovered in the air, using the power of the Eternal Mangekyo to clearly observe the entire process. He initially thought Susanoo’s slash could instantly kill Kazekaze. End this game. Never did he expect Kazekaze to enter Sage Mode again and block his attack. Unscathed. Simply unbelievable.

"In that case, let’s try this move." Uchiha Madara’s voice was low as he controlled Susanoo to raise another hand, and the Yasaka Magatama appeared again, larger than the one used against the Wood Human. Even Kazekaze. Uchiha Madara didn’t think he could withstand it.

Below, Kazekaze’s face was grim, his hands occupied with holding the descending chakra blade. He couldn’t free himself to perform ninjutsu. At the critical moment, Kazekaze could only split five Wood Clones from himself to find a solution.

Fukasaku and Shima watched the enormous Yasaka Magatama with tense expressions. The power of that thing was witnessed by Fukasaku and the other toads. If it were to fall, not to mention Kazekaze, it might level this place. It’s no exaggeration to say... At this moment, even Fukasaku and Shima felt unprecedented despair. Even Kazekaze’s Sage Mode couldn’t handle the current Uchiha Madara!

"Die, Kazekaze!" Just as Susanoo was about to throw the Yasaka Magatama to annihilate Kazekaze, the gigantic magatama began to disintegrate in the air until it vanished. Fukasaku and Shima were dumbfounded, completely unprepared for such an event. Not only that, but even the chakra enveloping Susanoo like flames began to dissipate at a visible speed. Next was the chakra blade. Susanoo’s armor. Skin, flesh.

"Susanoo reverted to its skeletal form?" Kazekaze’s eyes widened, watching this unbelievable scene. Then... Even Susanoo’s skeleton began to shrink, causing Uchiha Madara to slowly descend to the ground.

At this moment, Uchiha Madara’s eyes were also wide open, showing an expression of disbelief. But he quickly realized what was happening. He was not Uchiha Madara’s true body, but a sacrifice using White Zetsu to perform the Shapeshifting Technique. Although it could turn White Zetsu into a strong figure like himself, however, the clone could only possess thirty percent of the original’s chakra. And the ninjutsu Uchiha Madara just released were all chakra-consuming killer moves! Causing his chakra to be completely depleted at this moment!

"I thought I could kill Kazekaze..." Uchiha Madara took a deep breath, his body beginning to disintegrate into fragments. What a pity. Just a little more, and he could have dealt with Kazekaze. No... Suddenly, Uchiha Madara shook his head, denying this thought. It wasn’t that he was close to killing Kazekaze. But... Kazekaze was more tenacious than he imagined.

Who would have thought Kazekaze could learn Sage Art in the blink of an eye? Who would have thought, in such a life-and-death moment, Kazekaze didn’t give up in despair but instead entered Sage Mode again. Yes. It wasn’t that he failed at the last moment. Kazekaze was just too unreasonable! Even his power couldn’t kill him! fгeewebnovёl.com

However, Uchiha Madara was never one to dwell on gains and losses. Although his whereabouts were exposed this time, he had already obtained the most important thing. Hashirama’s cells. As long as he hid in the crevices of hell, even Tobirama and Hashirama couldn’t find him. And once Hashirama dies, no one will be able to protect Kazekaze anymore.

"It’s just the last struggle before death." Uchiha Madara murmured, then leaned back, falling straight backward. Thud! The next second, Uchiha Madara’s appearance began to change, reverting to White Zetsu, and died miserably on the ground.

Kazekaze stood there in a daze, blinking repeatedly, unable to comprehend the situation for a moment. Uchiha Madara... Fell? What happened? Wasn’t he just aggressive? Could it be that Uchiha Madara’s lifespan reached its limit? Died of old age?

"Could it be that my previous luck really drained Uchiha Madara’s lifespan? What is this, a causality ninjutsu? You’re kidding."

Due to the shock, Kazekaze was extremely surprised, unable to accept the fact that Uchiha Madara fell. Even the entire Mount Myoboku seemed to freeze at this moment. The atmosphere became eerie. However, this scene didn’t last long. Kazekaze took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, then approached the fallen Uchiha Madara. And finally, in the deep pit, witnessed the truth.

"What is this...?" Fukasaku, fused on Kazekaze’s shoulder, widened his eyes, examining the corpse on the ground. Without a doubt, he was dead. But what Fukasaku couldn’t understand was, weren’t they fighting Uchiha Madara all along? How did it suddenly become this guy? And... Who is this guy?

"He doesn’t look human," Shima frowned, carefully observing the White Zetsu on the ground. Although White Zetsu had a similar build to humans, there was still a certain difference. For a moment, the well-informed Fukasaku and Shima were filled with a bunch of questions. Only Kazekaze knew very well what the guy in front of him was.

"Could it be..." Kazekaze furrowed his brows, quickly searching his mind for information on "Naruto". The person he just fought was indeed Uchiha Madara. The corpse lying on the ground was indeed White Zetsu. And he possessed the Sharingan, ordinary genjutsu couldn’t deceive him. Eliminating all impossibilities, then the remaining possibility, no matter how improbable, was the correct answer. This is... The Shapeshifting Technique!

’If it’s the Shapeshifting Technique, then Uchiha Madara’s attack stopping abruptly can be explained.’ Kazekaze suddenly realized, letting out a long sigh of relief.
