With the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan activated, Uchiha Madara could clearly see the chakra flow within others. Although Fukasaku, who charged forward, was much smaller in size compared to other toads, its chakra was astonishingly immense.
"This chakra is exactly like Hashirama's." Uchiha Madara's pupils narrowed slightly as he materialized his own chakra. In an instant, a vast amount of chakra surged from his body, appearing from afar as if a deep blue flame enveloped Uchiha Madara. Immediately, within this chakra, visible bones began to emerge, protecting Uchiha Madara's body. It was... Susanoo!
"What's with that chakra?!" Fukasaku was shocked, but his actions couldn't stop, and he punched Susanoo. Boom! A terrifying air current erupted from the point of impact, instantly sending Fukasaku flying. Yet Uchiha Madara's Susanoo remained unscathed. Even a punch with Fukasaku's Sage Chakra couldn't break through Susanoo's defense.
All the toads witnessing this scene had expressions of disbelief. Although Lord Fukasaku was small in stature, his strength was the pinnacle of Mount Myoboku. Yet even his power couldn't do anything to this ninja!
"Even Lord Fukasaku's strength can't shake this guy."
"What is with his chakra? I've never seen someone with such terrifying chakra before."
"And the Fire Release he used earlier was so powerful it shocked the toads, even Bunta's Water Release couldn't counter it."
For a moment, an unprecedented fear enveloped Mount Myoboku. The toads here couldn't help but gasp, viewing this event as the greatest crisis Mount Myoboku had ever faced!
Uchiha Madara, terrifying as ever! In just a few rounds, he had intimidated everyone. This was the power of Uchiha Madara!
"It seems I've wasted some time." Uchiha Madara crossed his arms, surveying the fallen toads and the Konoha brats around him. The next second, Uchiha Madara's gaze focused on Kazekaze. Although he wasn't sure what this brat from the Hashirama clan was doing, he clearly had no intention of letting him go.
Whoosh! The chakra enveloping Uchiha Madara quickly grew taller, and the small ribcage continued to grow, forming a head and shoulders. From the shoulders, an arm extended. Swish! Susanoo swung its arm, gripping a strangely shaped chakra blade.
"Whether it's my clansmen, close friends, or children... Anyone who hinders my Eye of the Moon plan, I won't spare. If there's blame, it's only because you're too conspicuous and don't know how to hide." Uchiha Madara murmured to himself, then controlled Susanoo's power, aiming the chakra blade at Kazekaze's head, intending to end it all.
But at this critical moment, Kazekaze... Finally absorbed enough natural energy, orange eyeshadow appeared at the corners of his eyes. Now, even without opening his eyes or using the Kagura Mind's Eye ability, he could sense Uchiha Madara's attack. It's no exaggeration to say... This strike from Uchiha Madara was probably the strongest attack he had faced so far. As expected of Uchiha Madara.
But... Kazekaze suddenly stood up, pushing off with one foot, dodging to the right. Boom! With a loud crash, Susanoo's strike hit where Kazekaze had been sitting, the immense force penetrating the ground, shattering it into countless stones and spiderweb-like cracks.
"Dodged." Uchiha Madara frowned slightly; he hadn't held back at all in that attack. He had struck with the intent to kill Kazekaze. Yet Kazekaze still managed to dodge.
"As expected of a brat who inherited Hashirama's bloodline."
However, Uchiha Madara had no intention of giving up; he used the Shapeshifting Technique to kill Kazekaze. This guy who might hinder his future plans. Thinking of this, Uchiha Madara steeled his resolve, controlling Susanoo's movements, lifting the chakra blade from the crack's center, and sweeping it towards Kazekaze.
But this time, Kazekaze didn't choose to dodge.
'Speaking of which, even my sister Tsunade could take on Madara's Susanoo. There's no reason I, as her brother, can't. Moreover, I'm in Sage Mode now. Both my strength and defense have been enhanced.'
Kazekaze still remembered when Naruto entered Sage Mode, falling from dozens of meters high, and was unharmed. Pain's black rods were shattered by his palm. There's no reason for him to be timid in battle.
'Because it's my first time using Sage Mode, my mindset hasn't adjusted yet.' Kazekaze couldn't help but smile, lightly mocking his own combat thinking. Then, he directly assumed a horse stance, facing the incoming chakra blade.
This sudden scene even made Uchiha Madara pause. Observing closely with the Eternal Mangekyo, he discovered that Kazekaze's body was filled with Sage Chakra! And the changes on his face reminded him of Hashirama's Sage Mode. Could it be that this brat Kazekaze had really learned Sage Techniques?
'You've got to be kidding, Kazekaze just arrived at Mount Myoboku.' Uchiha Madara blinked his Eternal Mangekyo, finding it hard to believe. No matter how talented Kazekaze was, there should be a limit! Did he really learn Sage Techniques just like that?
Suddenly, Uchiha Madara felt his understanding was severely challenged. Unable to comprehend. Unable to believe. Did this brat Kazekaze activate a cheat code?!
Boom! While Uchiha Madara was internally shocked by Kazekaze's performance, Kazekaze swung his arms, forcibly catching the incoming chakra blade. He only stepped back a few steps, using immense strength to stop Susanoo's attack. Such an exaggerated scene shocked everyone's hearts.
Especially Uchiha Madara. He stared blankly at Kazekaze's figure. A mere seven-year-old brat, relying on sheer brute force, stopped his Susanoo? Though not in its complete form, this was still incredibly astonishing! What kind of monster is this guy?
"This is impossible." Uchiha Madara gasped, unable to comprehend the reality before him. Meanwhile, Kazekaze further unleashed the muscle strength in his arms.
"This is Sage Mode." Kazekaze couldn't help but sigh. What terrifying power!
