Seeing his opponent completely ignoring him, Madara let out a cold snort. "If you want to protect those people, let's see if you have the strength to back it up!"
With a swift hand seal, Madara called out, "Great Fire Annihilation!"
In his mind, an opponent primarily skilled in Taijutsu would definitely struggle against such a large-scale ninjutsu technique!
Seiki formed a hand seal. "Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
A muscle twitched in Madara's jaw. Why did that hand-clapping motion look so familiar? It gave him a strange sense of déjà vu, like fighting against Hashirama!
Like a tidal wave of flames surging forward, the entire night sky turned crimson!
Before the terrified gazes of the villagers, a waterfall stretching across more than a thousand meters cascaded downward, halting the sea of fire!
Witnessing this awe-inspiring scene, ninja from both sides sucked in cold breaths.
"Are these two even human? They've somehow managed to make B-rank techniques feel like S-rank!"
"Just one of these massive techniques could drain all my chakra, yet that young man shows no sign of exhaustion! How much chakra could he possibly have?"
"Isn't the bigger issue the hand seals? How can he manipulate that level of chakra without forming hand seals at all?"
As everyone marveled, one thought surfaced in their minds.
"Wait, wasn't he supposed to be a taijutsu specialist?"
"That's right! Why does a taijutsu user have such powerful elemental techniques?"
"Who told you he was a taijutsu user?" The Third Raikage spoke solemnly. "This guy is a true genius, possessing talent that surpasses humanity itself. His mastery isn't limited to just taijutsu—he's at the pinnacle of the shinobi world in medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, sealing techniques, and even sage arts. When it comes to elemental techniques, he even developed his own Ice Release powerful enough to freeze the entire ocean! As for the Wood Release our little puppeteer mentioned, I didn't actually witness that before I died."
Everyone's hearts shook violently. They couldn't help but shout out:
"How is it even possible to master all aspects of jutsu like this?"
"And weren't you dead when he was just thirteen or fourteen years old?"
The Third Raikage sighed. "That's exactly why I say—he's a genius beyond human comprehension!"
As if to prove his words, from behind the water curtain came an overwhelming surge of vine-like tendrils, sprawling across the sky!
Although the scale was massive, they were all elite ninja, far from ordinary. Some immediately used jutsu to defend, while others scattered in all directions to avoid the onslaught.
Brilliant and dazzling jutsu bloomed across the night sky.
Among them, the most eye-catching was naturally that beam resembling a laser cannon.
From one direction, Second stretched out his arms stiffly, moving forward like a puppet. "Watch out, I'm using Dust Release again!"
He naturally realized he was helping Iwagakure, but his body was already no longer under his control.
[Dust Release: Split Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!]
Another beam erupted from his palms, obliterating the forest ahead with unstoppable force!
Moreover, the light beam continued its momentum, carving a long, narrow trench into the ground behind it!
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but comment:
"No wonder this is Kekkei Tota (Bloodline Limit Evolution)! It destroyed all that wood so effortlessly!"
"Though I hate being used by those sneaky rats, there's no way I'm letting myself lose to that bastard Second!"
"Anyway, since we can't change anything, I might as well fight myself. Don't let us old guys be underestimated!"
They were all mighty warriors from different eras. Though they admitted they might not match up to Madara and his opponent, they still had their own pride and naturally resented letting those two take all the glory.
In short, these people suddenly became fired up with enthusiasm.
[Try my Steam Imp, bang!]
[Hell Stab Four-Tailed Fang Hand!]
[Susanoo: Yasaka Magatama!]
Under their combined attacks, even the Forest Creation from a Seed covering half of Iwagakure was destroyed.
However, before they could even feel proud of themselves, those vine branches attacked again.
Even fiercer than before, they surged toward the group.
The fighters had no choice but to charge forward once more.
Attack – destruction – rebirth. It was a two- or three-second cycle.
After repeating this three times, everyone's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
"Just how much chakra does that guy Seiki Shimaseki have? Why doesn't it end?"
"Wood Release can absorb chakra. As long as he can keep his strength up, he can use it endlessly!"
"What a monster! Fortunately, we're all Impure World Reincarnation bodies now, so we don't have to worry about our chakra being drained!"
At this moment, Nagato spoke through Second's body, "Forget about him. Go capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki. If you can't catch the person, use those ordinary people to threaten them into handing over the Jinchuriki!"
The group shrugged their shoulders and jumped toward the edge of the forest.
However, as soon as they reached the boundary, they felt a piercing coldness. This chill was internalized, only detectable when approaching closely.
Apparently, without anyone noticing, an ice layer as transparent as it was thick had enveloped the area in a hemisphere shape!
"It's too cold. If we were still living beings, even touching this ice might cause tissue death!"
"This guy's Ice Release is completely different from Mist's Ice Release!"
"But that brat really is arrogant! Even while fighting us, he still had the spare capacity to set up such a massive ice dome!"
Saying this, the group began trying to break through the ice dome while fending off the Wood Release attacks!
However, this ice dome seemed like ten-thousand-year-old ice, its hardness terrifyingly high!
Ordinary attacks couldn't shatter the ice layer at all!
It was Nagato who controlled Second, charging for several seconds before unleashing the upgraded Dust Release: Detachment Technique of the Divine Wind!
Under the enhanced Dust Release attack, the ice dome shattered instantly, scattered ice shards falling through the night sky, creating a mysterious and beautiful sight!
"Wood Release, Ice Release, what troublesome guys!"
"If it weren't for Second's Dust Release, we might really have to spend some time breaking through this ice dome!"
Many others were also puzzled in their hearts about where that brat Seiki Shimaseki had gone?
Although the attacks continued nonstop, after using Water Encampment Wall, his main body seemed to have vanished!
At the moment the ice dome broke, sounds from the outside world entered.
[Sage Art: Ice Release: Arrival of the Heavens!]
The once starry night sky had been replaced by a howling blizzard of bitter winter cold.
As soon as the group broke through the ice dome, what greeted them was a scene of bitterly cold winds blowing and violent snowstorms raging!
Seeing this mighty power to control the heavens, everyone felt their throats go dry.
"You've gotta be kidding me!"
Even that guy can do something like this?!
Manipulating the heavens and altering the skies... This is already the power of a god!
As everyone stood stunned by what they just saw, the Third Raikage shouted in warning, "Be careful! This is the ultimate sealing technique utilizing Ice Release. He once used this jutsu to instantly seal the Four-Tails!"
Everyone's pupils constricted in shock. Power-wise, none of them feared the Four-Tails.
But in terms of size and resistance to attacks, they were just ordinary humans and could never compare to a tailed beast.
If even the Four-Tails was instantly sealed, they stood no chance at all!
Most critically, this technique was fundamentally a sealing jutsu—the ultimate countermeasure against the Impure World Reincarnation!
