Chapter 323: Madara, Hashirama vs. Xuan Yue
Chapter 323: Madara, Hashirama vs. Xuan Yue
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After entering the attack range, the two Seek Orbs quickly rushed towards Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara under Huyi Xuan Yue's control.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Uchiha Madara extended his palm, and with a flick of his Rinnegan, a massive repulsive force emanated from his palm.
The two Seek Orbs stagnated for a moment, about to be forced back.
Huyi Xuan Yue activated his Rinnegan, and Shinra Tensei was unleashed as well.
The two invisible repulsive forces collided violently in the air.
In just a few breaths, Uchiha Madara's Shinra Tensei was overwhelmed, and with the added repulsive force, the two Seek Orbs sped towards the duo even faster.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Uchiha Madara's face as he witnessed this.
If only the true Rinnegan was in his possession...
The next second, the two Seek Orbs struck Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
Their expressions unchanged, their bodies instantly transformed into wooden substitutes, and their true selves burst out from the side, continuing their charge towards Huyi Xuan Yue.
The two Seek Orbs, having missed their intended targets, began to turn back.
Suddenly, the two wooden substitutes sprouted numerous wooden stakes and vines that entangled the orbs, slowing their return.
Huyi Xuan Yue observed all of this with a calm demeanor.
The former clan leaders of the Senju and Uchiha clans had yet to close in on him.
Uchiha Madara suddenly clasped his hands together, and with a substantial chakra expenditure, he swiftly condensed two black orbs akin to the Seek Orbs.
With a forceful throw, the orbs shot towards either side of Huyi Xuan Yue, unleashing a powerful suction force akin to black holes.
Huyi Xuan Yue himself was unaffected.
However, the two Seek Orbs behind him, originally poised to act, became unstable under the influence of the jutsu, even drifting slowly towards him.
Although Senju Hashirama had not collaborated with Uchiha Madara in a long while, his rich combat experience prompted a swift reaction.
"Hermit's Art: Divine Gate!"
In the instant that Uchiha Madara unleashed the jutsu, Senju Hashirama clapped his hands together.
Numerous red torii gates imbued with potent sealing effects descended from the heavens, aiming straight for Huyi Xuan Yue.
Even now, Huyi Xuan Yue dared not underestimate the combination of hermit arts and sealing techniques like the Divine Gate.
With no time to spare for the two unstable Seek Orbs by his side, which he couldn't control temporarily, Huyi Xuan Yue swiftly solidified the splitting earth beneath his feet into a dirt dragon, carrying him backward.
Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama immediately burst into their fastest speed, rushing towards Huyi Xuan Yue now that the four Seek Orbs were no longer by his side.
During this, Uchiha Madara also cast the All-Killing Ash Bone jutsu towards Huyi Xuan Yue.
However, Huyi Xuan Yue nullified it with his own All-Killing Ash Bone jutsu.
"Do you think you can do anything to me without the Seek Orbs?"
Huyi Xuan Yue dodged the descending Divine Gates while noticing that Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were already flanking him from both sides.
He recalled that the last person to have such an idea was the Great Toad Sage and Naruto.
Huyi Xuan Yue twisted his neck, the sound of cracking joints echoing.
"Fire Style: Dragon Fire Singing Technique!"
As they closed in, Uchiha Madara once again performed hand seals, opening his mouth to release four high-temperature fire dragons from above, below, left, and right, simultaneously attacking Huyi Xuan Yue. No matter where he dodged, the fire dragons would relentlessly pursue him with a 100% hit rate.
Fully aware of this jutsu's characteristics, Huyi Xuan Yue slowed his pace, allowing the four fire dragons to approach, and then absorbed them using sealing techniques.
"Now's the chance!"
Under the cover of the fire dragons, Senju Hashirama appeared in an instant at Huyi Xuan Yue's side, delivering a full-force punch aimed squarely at his temple.
But Huyi Xuan Yue was faster.
Crack!
The air exploded with a shockwave.
Senju Hashirama's pupils constricted as his fist met nothing but air.
Huyi Xuan Yue, who had temporarily stopped the Seal Absorption Technique, moved even faster. He flashed behind Senju Hashirama and stabbed him with the black rod.
At that moment, with dragon flames still singing on his body, Huyi Xuan Yue remained calm and unmoved. He gripped the black rod and, in the next instant, plunged it into Hashirama's back.
Like a piercing technique, the tip of the rod burst forth with dozens of sharp spikes, scrambling most of Hashirama's chakra within his body.
Senju Hashirama was instantly immobilized.
Just as Huyi Xuan Yue was about to finish him off, Uchiha Madara's Shinra Tensei descended once more.
Although it was instantly countered by Huyi Xuan Yue's own Shinra Tensei.
The fallen Senju Hashirama was pulled back to Uchiha Madara's side by the impact and the entangling wooden stakes and vines.
Uchiha Madara violently yanked out the black rod embedded in Senju Hashirama's back, a smirk playing on his lips as he said, "Hashirama, I've never seen you fall so quickly."
Senju Hashirama rose to his feet, watching as his shattered chest was restored amidst fluttering paper scraps. He scratched his head and said, "Huyi Xuan Yue's power has improved across the board. Even in a taijutsu confrontation, the two of us together might not be a match for him."
A solemn expression returned to Uchiha Madara's face.
He turned his gaze towards Huyi Xuan Yue, the residual flames on whose body had been reabsorbed by the sealing technique, and the minor injuries he had sustained were now automatically healing back to their original state.
"He's even mastered Hashirama's healing ability without hand seals."
Uchiha Madara felt a sense of unease.
But he couldn't afford to let the Moon Eye Plan slip away.
Just then, a hurried tearing sound came from behind them.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara quickly moved aside, then turned to see that the four Seek Orbs had broken free of their restraints and were speeding towards them.
Soon, the four Seek Orbs floated behind Huyi Xuan Yue once more.
Witnessing this, Uchiha Madara calmly said, "It seems we have no choice but to use our strongest jutsu."
Even if they restrained the Seek Orbs again, Senju Hashirama's fate from earlier proved that it would be futile.
Now, all they could do was make a final desperate move.
Of course, this was a last resort for Senju Hashirama, but not for Uchiha Madara.
"Black Zetsu."
Uchiha Madara's eyes glinted with a hidden gleam.
Black Zetsu had come with him, and he was currently hiding in a place unknown to both Huyi Xuan Yue and Uchiha Madara.
It was because of Black Zetsu's stealth and infiltration abilities that Uchiha Madara had a final trump card.
As long as Black Zetsu could catch Huyi Xuan Yue off-guard and stall him for a moment, he would be able to reclaim his Rinnegan.
At that time, he would regain control of the Moon Eye Plan and truly resurrect.
Now, Uchiha Madara had to buy time for Black Zetsu.
"Come, Hashirama!"
Uchiha Madara called out as he saw Huyi Xuan Yue approaching.
Senju Hashirama nodded and clapped his hands together. "Wood Release: Wood Person Technique!"
With an immense amount of chakra consumed, a sapling next to Hashirama Senju rapidly grew and transformed into a wooden goliath that was much larger than a Tailed Beast.
Immediately after, Uchiha Madara's eyes shifted towards the wooden colossus.
A similarly gigantic Complete Body Susanoo instantly materialized and enveloped the wooden goliath like a suit of armor.
Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara's figures flickered, and they appeared atop the head of the armored wooden goliath, their gazes resolute as they faced the approaching Huyi Xuan Yue.
Huyi Xuan Yue lifted his head and smiled faintly.
