The Uchiha clan, which was wiped out entirely, lacked vision.

Chapter 258: The Essence Comes from Condensation

Chapter 258: The Essence Comes from Condensation

The two "Complete Susanoo" battled back and forth, tumbling and rolling, and the aftershocks of their fight completely destroyed everything within a radius of tens of kilometers.

But neither of them could do anything about the other.

That sharp blade, capable of easily cleaving mountains, left only a fleeting scar on Blood Susanoo's body.

That piercing strike, capable of easily piercing the sky, only created a small hole about ten feet in diameter when it struck Blue Susanoo.

After another unsuccessful attack, Ban decisively withdrew and looked at An with an appreciative gaze.

"Excellent, your performance was flawless."

"Looks like I'll need more chakra to break through your defenses!"

As Ban spoke, he formed a hand seal and clapped his hands in the air, causing an array of tadpole-shaped runes to unfold in mid-air.

"Come forth, my Nine-Tails!"

However, a gentle breeze blew by, and his spirit communication array was completely empty, without even a single nine-tailed hair.

"Hahaha—" An Fang laughed wildly on the other end, pointing mockingly at Madara, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, Kurama is dead and hasn't been resurrected yet!"

"Is that so?" Madara straightened up without any embarrassment, and his gaze shifted to Shukaku, who was watching the battle from a distance.

"Even without the Nine-Tails, the One-Tails will do."

"Come here, little raccoon!"

A flash of light appeared in Madara's Rinnegan, and Ichio's eyes also turned into the shape of mosquito coils, and it walked towards him blankly.

Madara strode forward and came to Shukaku's side. He pressed down on Shukaku's body, and the chakra armor on his Perfect Form body seemed to fall off, turning into energy blocks. As the large hand that was pressing down on Shukaku gradually covered Shukaku's body.

In the blink of an eye, the original Blue Susanoo's complete form disappeared, and what appeared in its place was a giant tanuki wearing energy armor.

Blue Susanoo covered Shukaku's head completely with his original tengu-shaped mask.

Madara stood in the center of the Tengu mask and looked up at An.

"Hahaha—" An suddenly pointed at Madara and burst into laughter, "Madara, why are you shrinking back the more we fight?"

"It was quite a big guy just now, how come it's turned into a little dwarf now?"

In terms of size, the height of the complete Blue Susanoo is already far greater than that of the Tailed Beasts. Madara has now put Susanoo on Shukaku, so its power has naturally increased, but its size has shrunk considerably.

"Hmph!" Ban crossed his arms, completely unfazed by An's mockery. Instead, he sneered and warned, "Kid, don't blame me for not reminding you, the best things come in small packages."

"The power of Susanoo is not determined by its height, but by the amount of chakra injected into it."

"The higher the amount of chakra injected, the stronger the Susanoo's offense and defense will be."

"And the power of the armored Susanoo is far greater than that of the complete Susanoo."

"Hahaha————" An continued to laugh loudly, but suddenly a dark, oil-paint-like shadow appeared on the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, and cheeks.

"Now that you've revealed another card, I'm going to raise the stakes too!"

As An spoke, strange runes emerged from his body and merged into Blood Susanoo's body, making Blood Susanoo look like he had a set of tattoos.

"Is that form...like Hashirama's Sage Mode?"

Ban's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed the key to the change, which made him even more interested in An's strength.

"Come on, let me see just how powerful your Sage Mode really is."

Madara bent his body slightly, making a gesture as if he were pressing his sword with one hand.

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly descended as he moved, and tiny arcs of chakra energy danced between his fingers, filling the air with a suffocating sense of impending storm.

The burly Susanoo beneath him also discarded his left-hand sword, sheathed his right-hand sword, and performed the same sword-drawing technique.

The deep blue chakra armor shimmered with a flowing light, and Shukaku's earthy yellow chakra surged back and forth in the gaps of the armor.

The friction between the scabbard and the blade produced a low whistle like a dragon's roar, causing the rubble within a hundred meters to float up against gravity.

On the other side, Blood Susanoo stood with his feet one in front of the other, his arms holding his spear at his waist, and he also bent over and began to gather his strength.

Sage Chakra flowed from Blood Susanoo's body toward the tip of his spear, condensing into a dazzling golden light, and the ground beneath his feet silently cracked into spiderweb-like ravines.

The battlefield fell silent instantly; the air stopped moving, and the sand and dust slowly settled.

Time lost its measure at this moment, and the drifting dust was frozen into crystal amber. Only two auras that had climbed to their peaks collided continuously in the void, emitting streaks of sparks.

Even the chakra turbulence generated by the fierce battle slowed down, as if afraid of disturbing the decisive blow between the two.

After a moment of silence, the two of them roared almost simultaneously and unleashed their attacks.

Ban's slash transformed into a blue lightning bolt that pierced the heavens and the earth, while An's spear thrust evolved into a golden storm that swept across the plains.

In an instant, their attacks intersected and landed on each other.

The immense energies collided, first creating an absolute silence, then exploding into a sonic boom like the drumming of gods.

As if the sky were falling and the earth were splitting apart, a blinding white light instantly enveloped the entire area, and a deafening roar seemed to shake one's soul out of their body.

In the bright light, one could vaguely see fragments of Susanoo's armor, in red and blue, scattering in the air. Each fragment carried enough power to flatten mountains, carving deep, bottomless ravines into the ground.

Behind the two Susanoo figures, a canyon was forming across the battlefield.

The shockwave generated by the collision spread outward in a ring shape, churning up rock layers like waves wherever it passed, destroying and blowing everything away.

Both sides turned pale with fright. Hashirama had no choice but to intervene, summoning the Wood Release: Forest again to act as a buffer, thus protecting the Konoha ninja behind him.

The situation was much worse for Takumi Village. They barely managed to save the village from destruction by relying solely on Seimei's chakra absorption ability.

But he couldn't absorb the boulders and trees mixed in with the storm; he could only let those objects smash into the village, leaving it in a mess.

"This is outrageous. We clearly chose the battlefield dozens of kilometers away, so how did we end up being pushed back without even realizing it?"

"Qingming was covered in sweat and looked nervous, afraid that An's side would lose the battle."

He had just been resurrected and didn't want to return to the underworld immediately.

Everyone stared nervously at the center of the battlefield, eager to know who would ultimately emerge victorious.
