Chapter 632 Susanoo Battles the Four Gods
"Come on, let me have some fun! Let's dance!"
Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was rapidly contracting, with purple ripples spreading outwards in concentric circles. The emotions in his eyes were the unbridled fighting spirit that had finally found an opponent worthy of his full strength.
With this roar, the complete Susanoo gripped the sword hilt with both hands, and the huge blue chakra sword was drawn from its waist. It slashed horizontally with one sword!
Without targeting any single individual, this sword strike covered all four targets in front of it. The width and height of the sword energy far exceeded the concept of "slashing". It was a blue wall formed by chakra with the sole purpose of destruction. It pushed forward and was about to wipe out the four calamity gods along with the entire horizon behind them.
Sukizumi opened its body. The giant vortex that had been slowly rotating inside it suddenly expanded, its edge extending several times outward from the outline of its body. The suction force was not directed at chakra, nor at matter, but at everything—light, air, heat, and the chakra sword energy unleashed by Madara Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo, which was powerful enough to split mountains.
The sword energy changed direction the instant it touched the edge of the vortex. The straight slash trajectory was forcibly bent, and the blue light wall that should have swept across the entire battlefield was twisted into a thin blue light stream, which was then sucked into the giant vortex mouth inside Sukizuhime's body.
"The chakra was absorbed?"
Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes. His gaze fell on the core of the vortex that was still continuously absorbing sword energy.
"Is this mechanism based on the same principle as the chakra absorption of the Rinnegan Preta Path?" Madara sneered, not giving Hayatehime a chance to further expand the vortex. The pair of sky-covering blue wings on the back of the Complete Susanoo suddenly spread open, and the gust of wind that rose up the moment the wingspan was fully extended blew away all the burning ashes on the ground.
Then, its wings flapped forward violently, and the enormous thrust propelled the hundred-meter-tall chakra behemoth backward at a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size, retreating to a safe distance before Susanoo's vortex suction could reach it.
"Since you can absorb chakra, what about this?"
The sky darkened once more. Something was falling from outside the atmosphere, so large that its shadow covered the entire battlefield.
A meteorite with a diameter of over 100 meters tore through the clouds, engulfed in blazing white flames from friction with the atmosphere, and crashed vertically toward Hayatsuhime with earth-shattering force.
"This time it's not something created by chakra," Madara said, arms crossed, his tone full of anticipation.
"There are countless stones like these beyond the sky. Can your door even hold them all?"
"boom--!!!"
The meteorite struck Suqiuzumi head-on. Iron sand and spiraling water vapor were scattered by the impact of the meteorite, like a dandelion seed blown away by a gale. The particles that made up Suqiuzumi's body flew in all directions, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in a thick gray fog of iron sand dust and water mist.
However, Madara noticed that Hayatezuhime had not been completely defeated. The meteorite began to shrink the moment it touched its vortex core, and the edge stones were peeled away layer by layer, swallowed up, and transported to an unknown space.
The meteorite, a hundred meters in diameter, was being visibly devoured by Hayatezuhime's Gate of the Underworld at a rate visible to the naked eye; though slow, it was indeed shrinking. It wasn't absorbing chakra, it was absorbing all matter.
"That vortex in the middle is a passage to another dimension, capable of swallowing even meteorites of physical mass. However, your weakness is also obvious; you can't move until the swallowing is complete."
Ban made an accurate judgment. Then he withdrew his gaze and began to think about his next target. But before he could shift his focus...
"Brother! Down there!" Uchiha Izuna's voice boomed from beside him.
Madara abruptly lowered his head. Uchiha Izuna had been standing beside Madara since the start of the battle. Unlike usual, he didn't charge to the front lines, but instead maximized the sensory abilities of his Sharingan, monitoring every flow of chakra on the battlefield and acting as Madara's eyes. This was entirely so that his brother could immerse himself in the joy of battle without any worries.
At that moment, his sensory network detected an immense amount of chakra, so powerful it made his scalp tingle, rapidly approaching from directly below.
It was the water god, the Heavenly Water Deity, who used the smoke and mist that filled the battlefield to conceal his chakra fluctuations and silently circled around to the bottom of Susanoo.
A massive torrent of water gushed from the ground, and a tsunami-like wall of water rose from beneath Susanoo's feet, forming an inverted liquid cage within seconds, completely enveloping the hundred-meter-tall Perfect Susanoo along with its wings!
The moment the water enveloped Susanoo, Madara immediately sensed something was wrong. This wasn't an ordinary water prison; it was corroding his Susanoo.
At the weakest joints on the edge of Susanoo, fine traces of dissolution began to appear on the surface of the armor. The dissolved chakra fragments did not dissipate into the air, but were directly absorbed by the primordial water and became part of the water god's body.
It grows while eating, and Susanoo is its perfect nourishment.
"Don't even think about succeeding!"
The moment Uchiha Izuna sensed something was wrong, he acted. His Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly appeared in his eye sockets, and something deep within his dark pupils ignited.
The next moment, black flames appeared on the surface of Susanoo's armor. Amaterasu, those black flames that never went out once ignited, covered the entire body of Perfect Susanoo like a layer of flowing armor.
Under Izuna's extremely precise control of his eye power, these black flames did not leave any burn marks on Susanoo. Instead, with surgical precision, they forcefully inserted themselves into every gap between the primordial water and Susanoo's armor, creating a barrier of black flames between the water and the armor.
Water and fire are incompatible; this most basic law of nature came into play at this moment. The primordial water of the Heavenly Water God can dismantle chakra and absorb ninjutsu, but it cannot absorb a black flame that never goes out and continues to burn by its own will.
The water was forced back by the black flames, and the water prison that bound Susanoo was forced to loosen its restraints under the scorching heat of the black flames.
However, in the brief moment that Susanoo had just broken free of the water prison and hadn't even had time to readjust its posture, an attack was already waiting for it from the front.
It was the fire god, the fire god Kagutsuchi, who had been waiting in front of the water prison. The moment the water god released Susanoo, it raised its right arm and punched Susanoo in the chest, which had temporarily lost its mobility due to the water prison!
"boom!!"
Susanoo, which was originally a solid chakra armor, skipped the liquid and gaseous states and directly transformed into a plasma state. Countless orange-red cracks appeared on the surface of the armor, and each crack was extending outwards at an irreversible speed. Susanoo's chest was being decomposed at the molecular level. The concept of burning spread upwards along the armor's veins, and the shattered patterns covered the entire chest plate.
This was the first time Madara Uchiha had been truly struck since the start of the battle. The force hit the Susanoo's main body squarely, the impact penetrating the armor, passing through the forehead mirror, and reaching Madara's own body. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Then, he suddenly felt himself falling.
The earth cracked open.
The ground beneath the feet of the complete Susanoo suddenly split open, the crack unfathomable, darkness surging upwards from the bottom. Just before Madara plunged into the abyss, he finally saw the figure that had caused all of this.
That was a chakra giant whose entire body was made of plant vines and roots—Kukuno no Chikami.
Its lower body was completely integrated with the earth, its thick, dragon-like roots plunging deep into the ground, and then it used its root system to tear the entire earth apart from below.
The moment the complete Susanoo fell into the earth through the rift in the torn earth, countless roots of the God of Wisdom followed suit, wrapping around the Susanoo's legs, waist, and sword-wielding arm, dragging it downwards while frantically absorbing its chakra.
Their tactics are simple yet deadly.
First, use the Water God to lock Susanoo's mobility, then use the Fire God to force Susanoo back from the front and create space for counterattacks. Then, use its own power to move the battlefield from the ground to the underground, and finally use the pressure of the earth's crust and the binding of the roots to bury this invincible chakra giant alive.
"Hahahaha—! That's more like it! Nagato! It seems you haven't disgraced those eyes!" Uchiha Madara stood in the Susanoo that was rapidly falling into the abyss, looking up at the increasingly narrow crack in the ground, watching the four chakra giants standing at the edge of the crack looking down at his figures getting smaller and smaller, and then he let out the loudest, most unrestrained, and most undisguised laugh since the start of the war.
He showed no panic, no anger; it was the excitement of being driven to the brink, the purest joy in the face of death.
"The last time I was pushed to this point was during my battle with Hashirama! Hahahaha—!"
The earth began to close up. Jiu Jiu Neng Zhi Shen manipulated the torn tectonic plates, stitching the cracked earth back together as if stitching up a wound.
Countless roots extended from both sides of the crack, intertwining, twisting, and tightening around each other. At the same time, the roots wrapped around Susanoo tightened more and more, and under the pressure of the closing strata, the speed of chakra absorption increased several times.
This was to prevent Madara Uchiha from rebelling at the last minute.
"Boom—!!"
The earth completely closed up. The blue light of the complete Susanoo was buried deep underground, not even a glimmer of light could see through.
On the ground, the huge crack that had once torn open had completely disappeared, leaving only a scar of newly formed rock several meters wide that ran across the entire battlefield.
The four calamity gods surrounded the scar, silently watching the direction where Uchiha Madara had disappeared. They did not cheer, nor did they stop; their master's will was not yet fulfilled, and the target had not yet been confirmed and eliminated, so they would not disappear.
however.
"Whoosh—!!!"
A black sphere suddenly shot up from beneath the ground!
It rose from the depths of the earth, breaking through layers of rock, breaking through the roots and stems of the ancient, wise spirit, and breaking through all matter that tried to block it. Soil, rocks, metal veins—anything that touched the surface of this black sphere was annihilated the instant it made contact.
After the black sphere broke through the ground, it hovered in mid-air before dissipating, revealing two unharmed figures inside.
Uchiha Izuna stood behind Madara, his chest still heaving violently, his face filled with vigilance and lingering fear.
Madara Uchiha stood in mid-air with a bright red bloodstain on the corner of his mouth. It was the only mark left by the impact of Kagutsuchi's punch that had been transmitted to him through Susanoo.
But he didn't wipe it away. He didn't even care. His face was filled with excitement, the pure exhilaration of adrenaline still surging through his veins.
"Hahaha! You almost sealed me, Uchiha Madara! The pressure of the earth's crust, the absorption of chakra, plus the crushing force of the earth—if it were anyone else, they would have been reduced to ashes long ago! Hahaha! Very well! You have successfully pleased me!"
