Naruto The Thunder Calamity

The monk he was parasitizing had indeed mastered this power.

In fact, he was quite strong among the group that originally controlled this power.

So, Isshiki knew about this power.

He also understood the potential threat it posed.

Isshiki wasn't afraid of Madara unlocking the Rinnegan, or even becoming the Ten Tails' Jinchuriki.

Because that power came from the Otsutsuki clan.

Isshiki knew exactly where its limits were.

But Senjutsu was different, because it was something separate from the power known to the Otsutsuki.

It was a form of control over natural energy developed by the beings of this world.

This is also why even animals in the ninja world have the inheritance of Senjutsu, but humans do not.

Originally, Isshiki planned to wait, waiting for a suitable vessel that could hold more of his power, before proceeding with planting the God Tree.

But with the reappearance of the Senjutsu system, Isshiki couldn't stay still any longer.

He didn't know when the Senjutsu system started to appear in that so-called Konohagakure.

But from the current situation, if he didn't act now, there might be no chance left.

This world really had some interesting people.

With his hands behind his back, Isshiki silently watched the battle in front of him.

He didn't leave.

---

A huge wooden stick fell from the sky, carrying overwhelming force as it swung toward the blue giant's head.

The deafening sound of the impact echoed. Even without the Rinnegan, Madara couldn't ignore it.

He tried to dodge by moving to the side, but was completely blocked by Raijin and Suisei from the left and right.

Helpless, Madara had no choice but to take the hit!

"Boom!"

The massive wooden stick collided with the crossed twin blades, and the immense force caused the blue giant to sink into the sea.

However, under Madara's control, the giant stopped sinking after a brief moment! What incredible strength!

He pursed his lips as the Rinnegan spun rapidly.

The next moment, a huge repelling force spread outward from the blue giant.

Shinra Tensei!

Madara's Shinra Tensei, released with the Rinnegan, was on a completely different level compared to Nagato's Shinra Tensei in the original timeline.

Tsunade, who had just landed, didn't have time to react before being hit by the massive repelling force heading toward her.

"Boom!"

Tsunade's feet almost instantly left the sea surface, and her body uncontrollably flew backward.

The feeling of weightlessness was always a frightening sensation.

This was true for both Tsunade and anyone else experiencing it.

Tsunade panicked for a moment, instinctively starting to search for a solution. But before she could come up with one, she felt a force on her back.

The purple thunder was fully retracted as the sand-iron giant wrapped one arm around Tsunade's waist. The next moment, purple thunder appeared in front of Tsunade.

Thunderstrike!

Using the shockwave generated by ionizing the air with lightning to counter the repulsive force released by Shinra Tensei.

"You..." 

Seeing this, Suisei, who had entered an intangible state to avoid Shinra Tensei, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

However, Tsunade had no time to appreciate the protection Raijin had provided her at that moment.

As Hokage, it was natural to be protected by the leader of the Hokage Guard Team.

As a wife, being protected by her husband was something that would touch her heart deeply.

But as Tsunade, what she thought about now was that Raijin sacrificed his offensive opportunity to protect her.

Now, what she needed to do wasn't to exchange affectionate glances with Raijin.

Instead…

Countless vines extended from behind Tsunade, rapidly charging toward Madara.

The hard vines quickly formed into fists in midair.

At that moment, Madara's expression changed.

Wood Release: True Thousand Hand!

Without hesitation, Suisei formed a single hand seal.

As she did, four Kamui Shurikens appeared in the hands of the giant made of light blue energy.

With the support of Uchiha's throwing technique, the four Kamui Shurikens flew through the air in an arc, attacking Madara from four different directions!

Raijin raised his head slightly, his Mangekyo Sharingan spinning rapidly.

Under the enormous amount of chakra, the previously clear sky instantly turned overcast.

Genjutsu: Futsunomitama!

In the next moment, lightning streaked through the dark clouds, rapidly condensing into a purple beam of light, crashing violently toward Madara!

In the blink of an eye, Madara was facing attacks from three people in all directions.

Facing such a massive assault, Madara's response was practically textbook perfect.

The giant spread its wings, flying rapidly into the air, dodging the four Kamui Shurikens. In midair, emerald green wood released from the body, forming a large wooden stick to block the descending purple thunder.

Four nearly invisible shadowy figures appeared in front of Madara, activating their Susano'o to block the incoming fists!

Even three meteorites fell from the sky, targeting Raijin and the others.

As a veteran warrior who had fought through the Warring States period, Uchiha Madara's battle experience was showcased to its fullest in this moment.

Not only could he fend off Raijin's group's attacks, but he was also able to launch a counterattack!

The four Kamui Shurikens collided, creating a massive black hole.

However, without the supply of chakra, it began to slowly dissipate.

The purple thunder clashed with the wooden stick.

The intense heat caused the stick to catch fire, but it didn't break through completely.

Before the fists formed by True Thousand Hand could reach Madara, it seemed they hit some invisible obstacle.

They shattered and crumbled!

The three meteorites fell from the sky. Suisei didn't dodge. His wings spread and flew swiftly toward Madara.

Kamui gave Suisei the courage to charge at Madara! After all, she wouldn't die; the worst-case scenario was using Kamui to save himself.

Two beams of purple thunder crashed into the Kusanagi Sword and Futsunomitama.

The two famous swords, charged with purple lightning, sped toward the two falling meteorites.

Seizing the opportunity Raijin had created for her, Tsunade controlled countless vines, sending them rushing toward Madara.

Faster than the vines was Uchiha Raijin!

Raijin swung his long sword in a flash, charging straight toward the four invisible shadows.

To defeat Uchiha Madara, this technique exclusive to his Rinnegan must be dealt with! For true warriors, any technique can be the key to turning the tide of battle in an instant.

Let alone a technique as overwhelming as the "Wheel Tomb: Border Prison."

It's strange that things have turned out this way.

Although Raijin still had several powerful techniques left, it was difficult to use them right now.

Madara wasn't like the forces of Kumogakure or Kirigakure. He wouldn't just stand still. His reflexes and movements were extremely fast.

Without someone able to control Madara, or without Madara being unable to continue fighting, it was nearly impossible to use those techniques.

No matter how powerful they were, if they couldn't hit, what good were they?

"Wheel Tomb: Border Prison"... Surely it can't last forever, right?!

"Hmph!"

It's been so long since I've fought with such passion!

With a diagonal slash, Uchiha Suisei couldn't find the right chance to break out of the intangible state and strike Madara. She could only let her body pass through Madara without resistance.

"Compared to your brother, you're far off."

Madara glanced at Suisei with disdain before quickly retreating, pulling away from the rapidly approaching vines.

Madara wasn't foolish. Facing the vines that nearly filled his entire vision, he wouldn't make the mistake of cutting them one by one.

That would be too much of a drain with little gain.

He had understood that long before Konohagakure was even founded.

He left the "Wheel Tomb: Border Prison" to Raijin.

Madara trusted him, especially since the shadows summoned by the technique each had nearly the same power as Madara himself.

Though the shadows only lasted five minutes, that was enough time for Madara to kill either Tsunade or Suisei!

Suisei and Tsunade.

The former specialized in space-time ninjutsu. While such techniques might not form overwhelming battle strength, they were certainly among the most troublesome abilities to deal with.

Taking her down in a short time would be difficult.

Therefore, Madara's target was Tsunade! Madara, soaring in the air with his wings spread, threw the vines far behind him.

He was looking for the right moment to strike Tsunade.

Meanwhile, Raijin was still locked in battle with the shadows summoned by the "Wheel Tomb: Border Prison."

Kusanagi Sword and Futsunomitama flew up and down, with countless iron sands gathering and dispersing.

Raijin had no intention of killing those shadows. He couldn't, anyway.

After all, Raijin was essentially facing five Uchiha Madaras at once.

Five Uchiha Madaras with Rinnegan.

Trying to kill the shadows summoned by the "Wheel Tomb: Border Prison" in such a situation was as impossible as clapping your hands to summon Otsutsuki Kaguya and then devouring her with the "Ghost Buds Technique."

It was simply impossible.

So, Raijin's only goal was to bind these four shadows tightly.

He would keep them occupied until they disappeared.

Though the ninja world was different from Raijin's past life, the law of energy conservation still applied.

The shadows' appearance was simply the result of the Rinnegan's eye power being condensed.

Without energy replenishment, these shadows would definitely disappear after a certain period of battle.

In fact, Raijin guessed that the more energy was used, the faster the shadows would vanish.

Raijin's current goal is to entangle these four shadows at the same time, preventing them from returning to Uchiha Madara's eyes. At the same time, he focuses on attacking one of the shadows to verify his hypothesis. 

As one of the big bosses in the ninja world, Raijin doesn't know all of Madara's information. So, he can only try little by little.

This is actually the first time Raijin has fought with no holds barred since coming to the ninja world. To be honest, Raijin also wanted to hold back. But facing someone like Madara, Raijin felt that holding back would be irresponsible to his own life. 

Of course, Raijin isn't using all his means yet. Right now, they are still in the testing phase.

Raijin knows little about Madara. Madara also doesn't fully understand Raijin. Before they figure each other out, it's difficult to truly determine the outcome. Right now, Raijin can only try to analyze how long the Rebirth · Boundary Prison can last. As for whether Madara's Rebirth · Boundary Prison has a cooldown, Raijin didn't know anything about it.

Therefore, Raijin must be prepared for continuous combat. Of course, while fully dealing with the Rebirth · Boundary Prison, his Heart Network, which combines with natural energy, is also being released at this moment. It's constantly monitoring the conditions of Suisei and Tsunade. Raijin cannot afford to lose either of them.

However, as the Heart Network spreads, Raijin notices something.

There are other people nearby. Though he doesn't know their purpose, Raijin adds them to the list of people to watch. It's always better to be cautious. The ninja world is just too complicated.

...

While Tsunade, Raijin, and Suisei are fighting desperately against Uchiha Madara overseas, Konohagakure remains peaceful and calm. The streets of the village are bustling with people. Most of the faces are filled with happy smiles. Thanks to the suffering of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, most people in Konohagakure, whether ninjas or civilians, are happy.

Of course, some people who are too lazy or lack self-control have difficult lives, and even Konohagakure can't save them.

Konohagakure Research Center. Sunlight quietly slips through the half-open window into Senju Tobirama's laboratory, bringing a bit of warmth to the cold room.

"Boom!"

At that moment, with the sound of a smoke bomb exploding, a large amount of smoke filled the entire laboratory.

"Ha!"

With a loud crash, Senju Tobirama raised an eyebrow and casually extended his right hand to precisely catch a small fist coming at him.

Then, he slightly altered the direction of the force, causing the small fist to veer off course.

"Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

With a cry of pain, Senju Tobirama couldn't help but smile.

"Have you given up yet? You evil Uchiha brat!" His gaze was filled with affection, but his voice was cold, like the icy killing god from the Warring States period. 

"Ah! The Uchiha never gives up!" The voice, still somewhat childish, sounded, and Senju Tobirama nodded in satisfaction.

"Second Hokage-sama, classified information!"

Just as Senju Tobirama was about to say something, a voice suddenly interrupted. 

Senju Tobirama froze for a moment. Anbu? Why would Anbu come to find him?

"Can Raijin and the others not handle it?" 

He slightly tightened his grip and hugged the evil Uchiha brat closer.
