Naruto: Blind Hyuga

Madara was acutely aware that his Susanoos were utterly outmatched by the formidable black holes, so he promptly ordered his remaining clones to assume control of the Susanoos and execute a swift retreat from the area, desperately attempting to evade the devastating grasp of the black hole.

However, Jiryoku was in no mood to indulge Madara's desires, so he too sprang into action. With a powerful beat of his dark black wings, he accelerated to an astonishing velocity, rapidly closing the distance between himself and his adversary. In the blink of an eye, Jiryoku materialized in front of a Susanoos' face, precisely where Madara's wooden clone was positioned. With a swift and deadly motion, Jiryoku unleashed a slashing attack, invoking the fearsome 'Gravity Slash' technique, and a torrent of pitch-black sword energy erupted from the trajectory of Jiryoku's sword swing.

The sword energy effortlessly tore through the robust defense of the Susanoos' head, cutting Madara's wooden clone in half with unyielding precision and instantaneous force.

Jiryoku didn't stop there; with unwavering determination, he proceeded to move on to another Susanoos in a similar manner, unleashing a swift and deadly assault that killed Madara's wooden clone and ultimately culminated in the complete destruction of the Susanoos, rendering it utterly inoperable.

Madara attempted to intervene by utilizing the formidable 'Almighty Push' technique, but the potent, invisible force released from his Rinnegan was effortlessly neutralized by Jiryoku's simple, yet elegant gesture of raising one hand. With a mere, subtle outward motion of his hand, Jiryoku effectively cancelled out the force of 'Almighty Push,' rendering it utterly ineffective. Clearly, Jiryoku had also expertly manipulated gravity to counteract the technique, showcasing his mastery over the fundamental forces of nature.

In a remarkably brief period, Jiryoku destroyed five Susanoos with ease, demonstrating his overwhelming power and efficiency. Meanwhile, as Jiryoku was systematically dismantling these Susanoos, he simultaneously controlled the black holes to launch a coordinated attack on other Susanoos. As the black holes drew near, the affected Susanoos became immobilized, as if stuck in a quagmire, unable to move or escape the impending destruction.

Ultimately, these black holes wreaked havoc, destroying another 10 Susanoos and leaving only Madara remaining, isolated and vulnerable. Currently, Susanoo stands as Madara's most formidable and powerful move, yet he is utterly unable to conceive of ways to defeat Jiryoku, who has consistently outmaneuvered him.

Jiryoku afforded Madara no opportunity to utilize any other lives or retaliate, instead leveraging his extraordinary speed - which far surpassed the speed of light - to instantly materialize in front of Madara and deliver a precise, punctual strike to his face. The force of the blow sent Madara flying backward, and a large, visible dent appeared on his face, a testament to the intensity of the impact.

Fortunately, Madara's current body existed as an 'Edo Tensei' reincarnation, a circumstance that saved him from certain death, as Jiryoku's punch would have otherwise proven fatal.

"Damn it!" Madara shouted loudly, his voice echoing through the air, as he sat up from his utterly disgraced and humiliated state, his pride wounded, and punched the ground with immense force in sheer frustration. Madara was currently unable to do anything to counter Jiryoku's overwhelming power now due to his debilitating weakness, which left him feeling helpless and vulnerable.

"My current strength is exceedingly low, barely a fraction of its former glory. I'm unable to utilize all the moves of the Rinnegan, my most potent technique, right now. I urgently need to resurrect myself, to regain my former power, as soon as possible," Madara thought, his mind racing with desperation and concern.

Meanwhile, his face, which had been severely injured, was recovering at an astonishingly rapid pace, and soon became completely healed, as if the injury had never occurred.

Suddenly, at this precise moment, something utterly astonishing and very surprising happened: Madara's entire body was enveloped in a brilliant, radiant white light, which seemed to emanate an otherworldly energy. Moreover, not only was his body covered in this mesmerizing white light, but also the bodies of all the persons in 'Edo Tensei' who were sealed.

This brilliant white light emerged because the 'Edo Tensei' was finally lifted, and the ninjas were now completely liberated from their forced servitude.

Almost all the sane and rational ninjas were utterly overjoyed and ecstatic to be freed from the shackles of the 'Edo Tensei', as no one desires to be forcibly resurrected by someone and become their mere puppet or tool, stripped of their autonomy and free will.

In the dark and damp basement of Kabuto's hideout, Itachi stood resolutely before the defeated Kabuto. Kabuto, now rendered motionless like a statue, was a testament to Itachi's overwhelming power and strategic prowess. One of Itachi's eyes had turned a stark white, a haunting reminder of the severe side effects of using the forbidden technique, Izanami. Itachi had deployed this powerful jutsu to force Kabuto to cancel the formidable 'Edo Tensei,' a technique that resurrected the dead.

Sasuke, observing the scene with a mix of curiosity and confusion, finally broke the silence. "If you considered Jiryoku your enemy," he asked, his voice tinged with bewilderment, "why didn't you use Izanami on him?" His question hung in the air, reflecting the complexities of their battle strategies and the mysterious choices made by his elder brother.

Itachi replied very calmly, "At first, I considered Jiryoku an enemy of Konoha after he destroyed a considerable part of the village and killed Danzo, marking him as a threat. But later, as I slowly learned about his motives and the reasons behind his actions, and especially his bond with the Ino-Shika-Cho, I came to believe he would never harm Konoha. From that day onwards, I no longer considered him an enemy. Additionally, in this entire world, only he has the strength and capability to stop the Akatsuki's plans. Now, with the real Uchiha Madara resurrected, if not for Jiryoku, the disaster caused by Madara would have been even greater."

Sasuke, no longer a kid, also understood the impact of Jiryoku's presence on the battlefield, so he didn't refute Itachi in the slightest. At this moment, Itachi was covered in white light, indicating he was being freed from his 'Edo Tensei.'

As he was leaving, Itachi expressed his true feelings towards Sasuke, showing how much he loved his younger brother. Finally, before dissipating, he said, "Remember not to collide with Jiryoku."

Sasuke, with eyes filled with tears, nodded in response.
