Chapter 320
Chapter 320While Hui was contemplating his plan involving the moon, in the shinobi world, Madara was on his way toward Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s location.
The last time Madara encountered Isshiki, it had been sheer coincidence, an unbelievable stroke of luck.
One could say it was the workings of fate.
Everything seemed orchestrated by destiny.
Of course, even though their encounter was fated, the result had not been favorable for Madara Uchiha.
He had been utterly crushed, almost losing his life entirely.
But now, Madara felt that things had changed.
He figured that even Ōtsutsuki Isshiki would never have expected that the ant he had almost crushed would dare to come back seeking revenge.
Time passed, and Madara finally arrived at the place where he had once stumbled upon Isshiki by chance.
This wasn’t Isshiki’s true base of operations.
During their previous encounter, Madara had happened to cross paths with Isshiki during one of his outings.
"This time," Madara muttered as he stood at the very spot where he had previously been humiliated, "I’ll make sure to finish things."
His voice was cold and full of murderous intent.
Obviously, this place brought back bitter memories for him.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
With a hand seal, dozens of shadow clones emerged from Madara’s body.
For
For example, Isshiki could absorb chakra-based ninjutsu.
No matter whether it was Fire Release, Lightning Release, Water Release, or Wind Release, they had all been absorbed during their last fight.
However, Earth Release techniques, especially those with physical, material elements, were different. While Isshiki could absorb the chakra within them, he couldn’t negate the raw, physical forces entirely.
In other words, the best way to fight Isshiki was through physical attacks and nature energy-based assaults.
Unfortunately, Madara didn’t know how to use natural energy.
So, physical-based ninjutsu was his next best option.
When it came to physical destruction, Wood Release was one of the top choices.
Additionally, Madara was not especially proficient in Earth Release techniques, making Wood Release the superior choice in this battle.
As massive tree branches surged forth from the ground, enveloping everything in their path, Isshiki soared into the sky, evading the attack with ease.
The wooden tendrils came to a halt. Madara stared at Isshiki in the air, realizing that Wood Release attacks wouldn’t be enough to strike him effectively.
After all, while the Wood Dragon Jutsu and Wood Human Jutsu could reach that high, those constructs were slow and cumbersome. Someone as agile as Isshiki would never be caught by them.
With that thought, Madara manipulated the repulsive force within his Rinnegan, propelling himself into the sky as well.
With the Rinnegan’s powers, Madara was fully capable of aerial combat.
Isshiki showed no surprise at this development.
He was well aware of the Rinnegan’s abilities, attraction and repulsion were its most fundamental powers.
"All that talk, yet here you are, running to the sky like a coward."
Madara taunted Isshiki with a sneer.
However, Isshiki responded with a cold smirk.
"I admire your courage. To challenge me in the skies... how bold."
The moment Isshiki finished speaking, he shot toward Madara at an unbelievable speed, like a blazing streak like a meteor.
His speed was terrifying, almost incomprehensible.
In the blink of an eye, Isshiki was already upon Madara.
He lashed out with a devastating kick, infused with tremendous power.
Madara’s pupils constricted in shock.
He attempted to evade, but it was too late.
The kick connected..
An ant is still an ant. They could’t even resist when they were stompec by something larger than them. Isshiki thought coldly.
However, as his foot made contact, Madara’s body suddenly changed.
Instead of flesh and blood, it transformed into crackling lightning. It was a Lightning Clone.
The unexpected flash of lightning caught Isshiki off guard, as he hadn’t anticipated a chakra clone of this type.
For that brief moment, Isshiki’s body was struck by the lightning discharge.
At that exact instant, a figure shot out from within the tangled forest of trees below.
It was the real Madara, who had hidden his true body and used the lightning clone as a trap.
In his hands was the Uchiha clan’s war scythe, a weapon imbued with destructive force.
With a swift, brutal motion, Madara swung the scythe directly toward Isshiki.
