"That Uchiha Madara, was actually... kicked and made to cough up blood by Kazekaze?!" Danzo rubbed his eyes vigorously, doubting whether he was under some genjutsu. When he had just clashed with Uchiha Madara, he truly felt the terror of this man. He even... He once thought that they might very well die here today. But in the blink of an eye, the situation reversed. The invincible Uchiha Madara was made to bleed by a single kick from Kazekaze! This kind of thing completely overturned Danzo's understanding.
"Is this the enhancement brought by Sage Mode?" Hiruzen's heart was equally shocked, but he quickly realized that the reason Kazekaze could injure the current Uchiha Madara was precisely because of Sage Mode. In other words, it was because Kazekaze had learned Sage Mode that he had the strength to battle Uchiha Madara. For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but feel envious and jealous of Kazekaze's talent.
"Isn't this the kid from before?" Only now did Enma recognize Kazekaze, and his heart couldn't help but be stirred. How long has it been? Kazekaze's strength has undergone a tremendous change. Especially his chakra, which is so strong it seems like he's a different person. So much so that Enma didn't react in time. The toads of Mount Myoboku need not be mentioned. Even if all the toads attacked together, they were far from being a match for Uchiha Madara. They couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes. Now, Kazekaze used just one kick to make Uchiha Madara cough up blood. Naturally, this left them once again dumbfounded.
"Goodness..." Gamabunta felt a tinge of relief in his heart. Fortunately, he had fought Kazekaze before he learned Sage Mode. Otherwise, if Kazekaze's current kick landed on him, the other toads of Mount Myoboku might have to collect his body.
However, shocked as they were, Uchiha Madara was not weak enough to be killed by a single kick from Kazekaze. In fact, the reason he was hit by Kazekaze's Heavenly Pain Kick was not because Kazekaze was stronger. It was simply because Uchiha Madara hadn't expected Kazekaze's progress to be so astonishing, leading him to underestimate his power. This is what led to this situation.
'Kazekaze, this kid.' Uchiha Madara took a deep breath, adjusting his emotions and suppressing his surprise at Kazekaze. Now was not the time to be amazed by Kazekaze's talent. 'The current me is just using the Shapeshifting Technique, with only thirty percent of my original chakra available. If I continue to delay, it won't be beneficial for me.' Uchiha Madara glared fiercely. Although his abdomen was fiercely kicked by Kazekaze, this distance allowed Kazekaze to meet his gaze. In an instant, Uchiha Madara directly activated the power of the Eternal Mangekyo, casting genjutsu on Kazekaze.
But Kazekaze was already prepared. The battle between ninjas is often a battle of information. As a transmigrator, Kazekaze undoubtedly had a significant advantage in information.
Although Uchiha Madara rarely used genjutsu in the original work, it doesn't mean he can't. The Uchiha clan has always been best at genjutsu and Fire Release. However... Although I'm not from the Uchiha clan, through the rewards of the Check-in System, I obtained the Sharingan, which is rare even among the Uchiha clan.
Kazekaze closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly opened them, revealing a pair of frog eyes with three tomoe and blood-red pupils. It was the Sharingan. And with the help of Sage Mode, Kazekaze's Sharingan power increased several times. Facing Uchiha Madara's Eternal Mangekyo level genjutsu, Kazekaze managed to resist it in an instant, then shifted his gaze, clenched his fist, and punched downward.
However, this time, Kazekaze's fist hit the ground. For a moment, earth and rocks rolled out, making Mount Myoboku even more devastated. And Uchiha Madara took advantage of the subtle moment when Kazekaze shifted his gaze to retreat from him. No matter what, Kazekaze's opponent this time was Uchiha Madara. Not only was his reputation too great, his strength was also second to none. Even Kazekaze dared not take him lightly.
'The Sharingan is inherently a level below the Mangekyo. And Madara's Mangekyo is of the Eternal level.' Perhaps in the moment of eye contact, Kazekaze indeed resisted Madara's genjutsu. But if they continued to stare at each other, Kazekaze couldn't be sure if he could withstand Madara's mental attack. And in the current situation, once dragged into Madara's genjutsu world, on Mount Myoboku, there might be no one who could save him. Not even the toads. To be safe, Kazekaze deliberately avoided looking at Madara. As a result, it was this subtle opportunity that allowed him to escape Kazekaze's attack range.
'Uchiha Madara, this guy, is truly terrifying.' But what Kazekaze didn't know was that Uchiha Madara had similar thoughts now.
"Sharingan..." Uchiha Madara's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Kazekaze. Back in the Hell's Crevice, he had heard from White Zetsu that Kazekaze, this kid, had awakened the Sharingan, which only the Uchiha clan possessed. At that time, Uchiha Madara couldn't believe it. After all, the Sharingan was something only the Uchiha clan could awaken. And Kazekaze was undoubtedly a descendant of Hashirama and Mito, inheriting the Senju clan's Wood Release and the unique abilities of the Uzumaki clan.
'Those eyes are indeed the Sharingan, without a doubt.' The Uchiha clan's genjutsu is quite powerful. Especially Uchiha Madara, his genjutsu needs no further explanation. Besides the Sharingan and Hashirama, Uchiha Madara couldn't think of anyone else who could be immune to his genjutsu. Based on this, he could confirm. Kazekaze's awakened Sharingan was real.
"However, I'm not interested in playing with you any longer." Considering his chakra was running low, Uchiha Madara released Susanoo again. And this time... Susanoo transformed into a semi-complete form, appearing like a giant on Mount Myoboku. And... It grew four arms, each holding a chakra blade.
"Kazekaze, there aren't many ninjas who can witness this form of Susanoo. And even fewer who survive it!" With that, Uchiha Madara controlled Susanoo to slash at Kazekaze.
However, Kazekaze now had similar concerns as Uchiha Madara. He didn't know that the Madara before him was using the Shapeshifting Technique.
'Even for me, Sage Chakra is limited. If I continue to delay, my Sage Mode will definitely be deactivated. At that time, there might not be any chance to re-enter Sage Mode.' After all, Uchiha Madara is no fool. It's time to end this. Kazekaze thought so. Then clapped his hands together.
