Chapter 208: Crisis! Call Ishihara!
"You want to stop the revival of the One-Tail?
No, that's not it. You can absorb the One-Tail's chakra to grow stronger—you intend to absorb it completely, don't you?"
Haku spoke, and a layer of frost suddenly formed on his Zanpakutō.
When the frost touched Uchiha Madara, he instinctively withdrew his hand.
He looked at Haku in surprise.
"You can actually use a Bloodline Limit? Interesting. You're different from the other Zanpakutō users."
At that moment, Jin also arrived nearby.
Naturally, he had heard what Haku just said.
Looking at Madara before him, Jin knew that he absolutely could not leave.
At the very least, he had to stop Madara from absorbing the One-Tail's chakra.
Madara was already powerful enough. If he became any stronger, would anyone still be able to stop him?
Wouldn't that mean everyone was doomed?
"I'll fight alongside you. Let's take him down together!"
Jin suddenly appeared beside Haku and spoke.
Haku could sense Jin's strength and identity.
Looking at the man beside him, Haku felt something peculiar.
This person's Zanpakutō was completely different from the ones that Lord Ishihara had sold.
"Even if the two of you join forces, you still won't be my match.
But, I suppose I should start getting serious now!"
Madara grinned, then clapped his hands together and let out a resounding shout:
"Susanoo!"
Instantly, a massive purple Susanoo materialized in front of Haku and Jin.
For Jin, it was his first time witnessing such a colossal giant.
Haku, on the other hand, had long since grown accustomed to it.
Gazing at the enormous Susanoo, Haku gripped his Zanpakutō tightly with both hands.
Countless amounts of spiritual energy and chakra converged onto the blade.
With just one attack, he could shatter this Susanoo, though it would consume a significant amount of energy.
"White Emperor Slash…!"
Haku roared, and his Zanpakutō transformed into a gigantic ice sword over ten meters long!
The massive ice sword then struck Susanoo with immense force.
Madara never expected that his newly summoned Susanoo would be cut down the very next moment.
Even more shocking was that the attack actually dispersed his Susanoo completely!
This was a Susanoo formed with spiritual energy—it wasn't something that could be affected by mere chakra or physical attacks!
Only those with a comparable level of soul strength, wielding a similar amount of spiritual energy, could even inflict damage upon it.
And even then, they would only cause damage—not utterly destroy it!
"What a chance!"
The moment Madara's Susanoo shattered, Jin's face lit up with joy.
Seizing the opportunity, he used Shunpo to instantly appear before Madara.
Madara was still in shock from the destruction of his Susanoo, giving Jin the perfect opening.
With a swift swing of his Zanpakutō, Jin severed Madara's head!
However, Madara was in a ghostly state—decapitation alone wouldn't kill him.
His spiritual energy had to be completely depleted.
Just as Jin prepared to press his advantage, multiple figures suddenly blocked his path!
A barrage of weapons came swinging toward him!
More ghosts!
They were the spirits that had initially been absorbing the One-Tail's chakra.
When Madara arrived, they had already been restless.
Now that Madara was on the verge of defeat, they could no longer sit still.
They had finally encountered a strong leader who could guide them in absorbing the One-Tail's chakra—how could they remain in hiding any longer?
Even though their strength was inferior to Jin and Haku, their sudden appearance and sheer numbers momentarily halted Jin's offensive.
Seeing this, Madara burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha! Looks like I have some allies after all!"
The arrival of these spirits thrilled Madara, and the tide of battle began to turn in his favor.
Realizing the situation, Haku quickly sent a message to Ishihara in secret.
After all, even dealing with Madara alone was already pushing his limits.
Even with the addition of this unknown warrior, their combined strength was barely enough to challenge Madara.
But now that Madara had so many ghostly reinforcements, Haku no longer believed they had a chance at victory.
More importantly, his own spiritual energy was running out and needed time to recover.
In fact, it wasn't just Haku—Jin was also beginning to feel exhausted.
The only one in peak condition was likely Madara himself.
After all, Madara had only fought Jin once and had even taken two deep breaths of the One-Tail's chakra upon arriving.
"Looks like we're going to die here today.
Damn it… I haven't even eliminated all the ghosts in this world yet!"
Jin sighed in frustration.
Meanwhile, Haku kicked a ghost away and replied:
"Hold on! As long as Madara doesn't join the fight, we just need to last a little longer—reinforcements will be here soon!"
"Reinforcements?
Even if help arrives, we couldn't even kill him when we fought together.
What difference would reinforcements make?"
Jin's voice carried a hint of despair.
At this moment, Madara wasn't even participating in the fight.
Instead, he was standing there, steadily absorbing the One-Tail's chakra!
