Chapter 283: The Six Paths, Madara! 【77】
"Damn..."
The First Raikage's expression changed as he watched Madara Uchiha's movements.
Although he didn't know what Madara was up to, it certainly wasn't anything good. He couldn't allow Madara to succeed!
However, before he could make a move, the Fourth Raikage had already rushed towards Madara.
"You bastard!!"
"Whether you are Madara Uchiha or whoever, how dare you lay a hand on my little brother..."
Bathed in lightning, the Fourth Raikage instantly appeared before Madara, his fist surging towards the Uchiha.
Madara looked at him with indifferent eyes, not even lifting a hand to block.
Boom!!
The Fourth Raikage's fist didn't land its mark. Instead, it abruptly halted in mid-air, mere inches away from Madara, as if forcibly restrained by some unseen force.
A hint of disbelief flashed in the Raikage's eyes as he felt his fist being grabbed by something. He struggled with all his might, but to no avail.
"Aaaargh!!"
The Fourth Raikage roared and lifted his right leg, aiming a kick at Madara.
But before it could land, his leg, too, was forcibly stopped in mid-air. The lightning crackled and popped, yet it couldn't advance even a tiny bit further.
Under the gaze of countless onlookers, Madara took a step forward and raised his hand, grabbing the Fourth Raikage by the neck and lifting him up. His gaze remained cold and detached.
"And you think you can dance with me?"
Whoosh!!
A figure bathed in black lightning flashed by and threw a punch at Madara. It was the First Raikage.
Madara tossed the Fourth Raikage aside, sending him crashing into the First Raikage, and both of them tumbled down together.
"Stop him!!"
The First Raikage caught the Fourth Raikage as they fell, shouting at the top of his lungs to the Kumo shinobi.
The dazed Kumo ninja finally snapped out of their stupor and reacted. They yelled, throwing shuriken, kunai, and paper bombs, along with lightning jutsu, at Madara.
"..."
Madara stood there, not even bothering to glance at the incoming attacks. The power of his Rinnegan eyes surged.
Whether it was lightning jutsu, fire jutsu, shuriken, or kunai with exploding tags, they all froze in place three feet away from Madara, as if they had hit an invisible barrier, and then they crumbled and scattered.
Whoosh!!
The massive body of the Eight-Tails was finally pulled back by the chains, turning into chakra and flowing into the Gedo Statue's mouth. Soon after, the Nine-Tails chakra on Kinkaku and Ginkaku was also reclaimed.
Witnessing this, the First and Fourth Raikage, along with Minato, felt their hearts sink.
Things were taking a turn for the worse!
Although they weren't sure what would happen next, they instinctively felt that whatever was about to transpire would be extremely dire.
As the Gedo Statue devoured the Nine-Tails chakra from Kinkaku and Ginkaku, finally completing its collection of chakra from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails, its countless eyes suddenly snapped open, and it let out a roar.
Boom!!
The roar was accompanied by a terrifying burst of chakra that instantly caused the rock beneath the statue to crack and shatter. The enormous statue fell from above.
With the complete collection of chakra from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails, the Gedo Statue revived at an alarming rate. In an instant, it went from a stiff statue to something that seemed very much alive.
The rigid body, like wood, began to writhe and move.
"Finally..."
A faint light flashed in Madara's eyes as he witnessed this scene. He didn't wait any longer and leaped, landing on a vacant lot in the ruins of Kumo.
Then, the light of the Rinnegan in his eyes flickered, and its power surged as he made a hand seal in front of him.
Boom!!
As the Gedo Statue rapidly revived, it unleashed a surge of chakra that froze countless Kumo shinobi in their tracks. Starting from its head, the statue elongated, turning into a stream of chakra that flowed towards Madara's back.
His once pitch-black hair started turning white from the roots, blowing in the wind, and the armor he wore from the Warring States era shattered and fell away, revealing a white coat adorned with the Six Paths pattern, forged from his chakra.
Bead after bead, the magatama pattern emerged on the coat.
Zzz! Zzzzz!
A pitch-black sphere appeared behind Madara, one after another, until nine of them floated there. Madara then stretched out his right hand to the side.
The Chakra Orbs writhed and condensed in his palm, rapidly elongating to form a staff that he grasped firmly.
Ding, ding, dong, dong!
The sound of the black ring at the top of the staff gently colliding with the shaft rang out, crisp and pleasant, reverberating across the silent battlefield.
Uchiha Madara halted his forward stride and, holding the staff, planted it into the ground beside him.
Silence fell.
Whether it was the First Raikage or the Fourth, watching Uchiha Madara's transformation, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. They instinctively felt a sense of terror.
The same went for Minato, whose expression turned grave as he gazed upon the pitch-black staff in Madara's hand, recognizing it as a condensation of at least four different types of chakra nature transformations.
But that wasn't the most crucial aspect.
What was most crucial was that the bizarre statue had likely devoured the chakra of all the other tailed beasts!
With the addition of the Eight-Tails' chakra it had just consumed, as well as the portion of the Nine-Tails' chakra from Kinkaku and Ginkaku, it had nearly assembled the power of all nine tailed beasts into one.
And all that power had entered Uchiha Madara's body.
"This is bad..."
Minato's heart sank.
Although he didn't know Madara's current state, he could sense the terror—an extreme terror far beyond that of an ordinary ninja!
"Damn it!!"
After a moment of stiffness, the Fourth Raikage let out an angry roar. His body bathed in lightning, he charged at Madara with all his might.
Pushing his speed to the limit, he appeared above Madara in the blink of an eye and delivered a fierce kick aimed at crushing Madara's head.
But.
Without even a glance, Madara lifted a pitch-black Chakra Orb from behind, which silently flew up and transformed into a black dome that shielded his head.
The Fourth Raikage's kick landed squarely on the dome formed by the Chakra Orb.
Zzzz!
There was no loud crash, only the faint sound of something dissolving. Starting from where the Fourth Raikage's foot touched the dome, his leg began to silently melt and disappear, the effect spreading up to his thigh.
The Raikage's pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes widened in shock. The lightning around his body erupted, and he barely managed to twist his body away, preventing himself from colliding entirely with the black dome.
Boom!!
The Fourth Raikage crashed to the ground not far from Madara, the impact shattering the earth.
Madara still didn't spare him a glance or continue his attack. Instead, he simply raised a hand and clenched it in the air, saying,
"It's finally complete."
"Is this... the power of the Sage of the Six Paths?"
A ripple finally appeared in the depths of his calm eyes. At this moment, he could clearly sense the abyss-like, seemingly infinite chakra and power within him.
This was the power of the Sage of the Six Paths.
This was a power that transcended the entire world!
Ever since he awakened the Rinnegan, he had meticulously planned for this moment, and now, no one could stop him.
Everything would come to an end.
All things would become one with him!
