Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Tobirama vs. Madara (Final)
"This is the ultimate power of the Uchiha's Sharingan—the third force, Susanoo!"
Standing atop the majestic Susanoo, Uchiha Madara cast a smug glance at Senju Tobirama, who seemed mesmerized by its grandeur. In an uncharacteristic moment of generosity, Madara elaborated further.
"To thank you for rekindling a bit of my dulled battle spirit, as a token of gratitude, I'll use this Susanoo to end you!"
Looking down at Tobirama, who appeared as insignificant as an ant before the towering might of Susanoo, Madara's lips curled into a sinister smile.
"Come now, Tobirama! Show me the might of your Wood Release! I'll make you understand the chasm that exists between you, me, and Hashirama!"
Confident and unstoppable—this was Uchiha Madara.
Admiring the destructive beauty of Susanoo, Tobirama snapped out of his trance and responded without hesitation.
"I've said it before: defeating you doesn't require me to use my brother's power!"
"Water Release: Surging Sea!"
"Water Style: Water Giant!"
In an instant, a colossal torrent of water surged forth, flooding the area up to the knees of Madara's complete-body Susanoo. Tobirama swiftly manipulated the water, condensing it into a towering humanoid figure—a water giant that stood half a head taller than Susanoo.
Coiled around the water giant's neck was a serpentine water dragon, its head lowered, roaring at Madara.
"You keep surprising me, Tobirama!"
Seeing the water construct rivaling his Susanoo in size, Madara's expression twisted into a manic grin, his fighting spirit fully ignited.
The colossal Susanoo, wielding a massive blade, charged forward under Madara's command.
On the other side, Tobirama remained undaunted. The water giant conjured an ice blade in its hands and advanced to meet the attack head-on. The coiled water dragon sprang forward as well.
Boom!
The clash of the titans shook the earth. The violent tremors rippled outwards, reaching even Uchiha Itachi and Orochimaru, who were miles away, causing their expressions to shift.
Clang!
The piercing sound of the ice blade colliding with Susanoo's chakra blade reverberated through the battlefield.
Fragments of ice flew in every direction, but water streams quickly coalesced to repair the gaps at a visible speed.
Madara's Susanoo initially gained the upper hand, but the interference from the water dragon forced him to abandon a perfect offensive opportunity.
The two colossal figures retreated momentarily, only to charge at each other again in the next moment, launching into the second round of combat.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Susanoo and the water giant exchanged relentless blows like gladiators in an arena, their weapons clashing with incredible force.
Pure physical attacks would not suffice to determine a victor.
Both combatants were Edo Tensei resurrected, their energy reserves effectively infinite. Left unchecked, this battle could rage on for an eternity.
"Hahaha! Come, Tobirama, keep dancing!"
Madara reveled in the battle, thrilled by Tobirama's unexpected ferocity.
He had assumed Tobirama would resort to his signature Flying Thunder God Technique to engage in tedious hit-and-run tactics. Such a battle would bore him. But Tobirama had gone above and beyond, delivering a worthy challenge.
This raw, unrestrained combat—this was what a battle between men should be!
If only he had a living, breathing body again, the thrill would be even greater!
Somewhere in the midst of their clash, Madara's view of Tobirama began to shift ever so slightly.
Tobirama's response was succinct.
"Come!"
The water giant raised an arm, summoning the water dragon to coil around it. As the two colossi clashed once more, the water dragon broke free, lunging at Susanoo's head with its gaping maw.
Madara's mind raced. Susanoo's wings unfurled, propelling it skyward to evade the attack. In a single motion, its blade cleaved the water dragon in two.
But Madara had miscalculated.
Roar!
With a resonant dragon cry, the severed water dragon evaporated into mist, eluding the blade.
The mist reformed in an instant, the water dragon emerging anew to coil around Susanoo's blade, siphoning its chakra.
Seizing this opportunity, Tobirama directed the water giant to strike. With a diagonal slash, it sent Susanoo staggering from the sky to the ground, its radiance dimming.
But Madara was unrelenting. With a surge of crimson light from his eyes, he replenished Susanoo's power, shaking off the water dragon and leaping back into the fray.
"Again!"
Madara's voice carried a chilling edge as Susanoo conjured twin chakra blades. Its wings spread wide as it launched at Tobirama with blinding speed.
The water giant raised its ice blade to parry the dual strikes, but the sheer force pressed its feet into the ground, creating deep craters.
Under the relentless assault, the ice blade began to shatter. Its regenerative speed failed to keep up with the damage.
Crack!
With a sharp sound, the ice blade shattered entirely, leaving the water giant vulnerable.
Madara's eyes gleamed with excitement as Susanoo's twin blades descended.
At the last moment, the water giant raised its arms, gripping the blades with its bare hands.
Even so, the chakra swords continued to slice through its palms, nearing Tobirama's head.
"Tobirama, will you still refuse to use Hashirama's power?"
Despite the water giant being taller than Susanoo, it now knelt under the strain. From his elevated position, Madara sneered at Tobirama, taunting him.
The water giant trembled, yet Tobirama remained calm, exuding an air of unshakable resolve.
"Madara, I'll say this one last time."
"Defeating you doesn't require my brother's power!"
Madara's patience wore thin. Tobirama's repeated defiance was a direct affront to his pride. Susanoo pressed down with greater force, the ground beneath them cracking under the pressure.
Finally, Tobirama acted. His eyes darkened with sage markings.
"Sage Art: Water Style—Phantom Abyss Technique!"
In that instant, Tobirama's stored sage chakra surged forth.
The water giant exploded with newfound power. In one swift motion, it shattered Susanoo's blades and expanded to an unprecedented height, piercing the clouds.
Dozens—no, hundreds—of water dragons coiled around the giant like ropes, roaring in unison.
Tobirama's hands moved, and the water dragons broke free, descending upon Susanoo like an unstoppable tide.
Madara's eyes widened for a brief moment before his Susanoo conjured two new blades, slashing at the incoming dragons with astonishing speed.
But there were too many.
One slipped through, sinking its fangs into Susanoo's head.
Roar!
More followed, enveloping Susanoo entirely, draining its chakra at an alarming rate.
The colossal construct dimmed further, fractures forming across its surface.
Madara fought back valiantly, but the sheer volume of water dragons overwhelmed him.
Boom!
Susano'o disintegrated into nothingness, its chakra depleted.
Madara stood amidst the remnants of his fallen creation, water dragons coiled tightly around his body, leaving only his head free.
"I... lost?"
