Naruto: Tobirama Reborn, Invincible in the Ninja World

"Tobirama, I must admit, you've made significant progress."

Madara's expression grew slightly serious. Praise was rare from him, yet he now acknowledged Tobirama's strength.

"But!"

"All of this… is futile!"

In an instant, an overwhelming aura swept out from Madara, suffocating the battlefield.

The four massive chakra swords wielded by his Susanoo rapidly expanded in size before slashing down fiercely at the earth.

Four arcs of blue energy ripped through the ground, shredding vines, roots, and anything in their path. Tobirama's water clones were obliterated in the blink of an eye.

Within a radius of several hundred meters, the terrain was reduced to desolation under the relentless onslaught of Madara's attacks.

All creation seemed to be silenced in that moment.

Before the destruction could engulf him, Tobirama conjured a water barrier, blocking Madara's strike just in time.

Even so, the shockwaves sent his chest armor rattling loudly under the force. Yet, his expression remained unshaken.

In fact, Tobirama almost looked amused.

Was Madara too strong?

No, quite the opposite—Uchiha Madara was weak.

From the fluctuations of Madara's chakra and the power behind his Susanoo attacks, Tobirama deduced the truth:

Orochimaru's grasp of the Edo Tensei technique was still immature at this point.

This Madara, resurrected years earlier than in the original timeline, only possessed about eighty percent of his original strength.

More importantly, Madara had yet to use any abilities tied to the Rinnegan.

Perhaps he was holding back—but Tobirama suspected otherwise. It was likely that Madara couldn't utilize the Rinnegan at all.

Kabuto might have created a body for Madara that could wield the Rinnegan, but Orochimaru clearly lacked the same skill.

With this realization, Tobirama's confidence surged. Victory was within reach.

This Madara, at best, was merely an exceptional Kage-level opponent.

Without further words, Tobirama slowly raised his head. Dark markings appeared around his eyes as his Sage Mode activated.

Madara's sharp eyes immediately recognized the transformation. Though surprised that Tobirama had mastered Sage Mode, his hands moved without hesitation.

One of Susanoo's four arms freed itself, and a massive magatama chakra sphere resembling a Sharingan pattern formed in its grasp. With a swift motion, it hurled the sphere like a shuriken.

The air screamed as the Yasaka Magatama tore through it, hurtling toward Tobirama.

With a flash of blue light, Tobirama vanished from his position. The Yasaka Magatama slammed into the ground, creating a deafening explosion that shook the battlefield.

As Tobirama teleported using the Flying Thunder God Technique, Madara's Sharingan scanned the surroundings, ready to catch the slightest hint of movement.

Two sharp whistling sounds cut through the air as a pair of kunai—marked with Flying Thunder God seals—were hurled at Madara from different angles.

Madara's lips curled into a slight smirk.

The kunai below was obliterated by a swipe of Susanoo's sword.

Above, Tobirama appeared at the second kunai's location, a spinning blade of water condensed in his hand.

"Attacking when your enemy thinks they've won? This trick is overused, Tobirama."

"Or do you think I'd be as careless as Izuna?"

Madara's expression darkened with anger, memories of his brother fueling his wrath.

Susanoo's arm twisted with blinding speed, seizing Tobirama in its massive grasp.

As Tobirama struggled within Susanoo's fist, Madara didn't waste words. With a mere thought, the grip tightened and crushed the target.

Yet, there was no sign of the Edo Tensei fragments breaking apart—only a splash of water trickling from Susanoo's hand.

"A water clone!"

In the air above, Tobirama hurtled toward Madara, his chakra wings forming a razor-straight line behind him. The sheer force of his descent made him a deadly projectile.

However, Tobirama knew that Susanoo's legendary defense wouldn't falter against raw speed alone.

Thus, his attack incorporated a new weapon—a spinning drill of water brimming with Sage Chakra, compressed to its utmost limit.

"Sage Art: Water Release—Spiral Water Blade!"

The water drill rotated at an astounding 3600 revolutions per second, creating a deep, menacing vortex at its tip. The attack promised absolute penetration—enough to grind even diamonds to dust.

Madara sensed the incoming danger but found himself a split-second too late. Tobirama's strike connected with the back of Susanoo.

The initial impact was eerily silent.

Then, the spiral water blade began to bore through Susanoo's armor, sending cracks rippling outward like a spider's web.

"Impressive…" Madara's eyes narrowed, a glint of respect in his gaze as the attack drew closer to his face.

"You've earned the right to see my full power!"

"Susanoo!"

With a roar, Susanoo healed instantly, forcefully repelling the water drill.

The partial humanoid form expanded as legs sprouted and musculature grew. A suit of demonic armor clad its frame, while a pair of glowing red eyes burned fiercely within its helm.

The fully realized Perfect Susanoo stood towering over the battlefield.

The earth quaked, mountains trembled, and even the air seemed to freeze under its sheer presence.

With a swift motion, Perfect Susanoo drew its massive blade.

A single swing sent an arc of energy slicing through the land, obliterating an entire forest created by their earlier Wood Release techniques. The devastating slash didn't stop until it cleaved the tops off a mountain range.

Tobirama's eyes narrowed, a flicker of unease crossing his usually composed face.

Even knowing the destructive power of Perfect Susanoo, witnessing it firsthand was a different matter entirely.

This wasn't like the flawed version used by Itachi.

Madara's Susanoo was the real thing—a divine force that had once stood equal to Hashirama's might.

From atop his towering creation, Madara addressed Tobirama, his voice carrying a mix of admiration and arrogance.

"Tobirama, you're impressive. In some ways, you've almost caught up to Hashirama."

"As a reward for reigniting my passion for battle, I'll use the ultimate power of these Sharingan…"

"To destroy you completely!"
