Shinobi World War's Final Preparation (3)
🕑 Added 2025-01-31 13:41:15 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 506 ---
Mountain and forest trembled as if they had their own will.
At this very moment, an intense battle happened.
Vines and roots moved like a tsunami, forming a giant serpentine dragon with glowing golden eyes. A spirited man stood on the dragon's head and shouted, "Take my new technique, Madara!"
"Sage Art: Verdant Dragon King!"
Roar!
The nature dragon roared at Madara, shooting a beam of concentrated spirit energy and nature's power.
Swoosh!
Madara stood on Hashira (Contracted fox spirit) and calmly stared at the incoming beam. He summoned "Gunbai Uchiwa!" His first martial soul and ten spirit rings appeared behind him, blinking one after another.
"What! T-Ten spirit rings?!" Hashirama was more surprised by Madara's spirit ring configurations than his beast summons. After all, Yunlong told them one could only have nine spirit rings before entering God's realm.
Madara had ten spirit rings: four black, five red, and one dark red.
Hashirama recalled information from Yunlong that spirit rings have six colors, but dark red is not one of them.
"Madara, you are..." Hashirama mumbled.
"Damn, don't tell me you have reached God's Realm?"
Hashirama actually guessed things correctly. After breaking through level 100, Madara's 10th spirit ring manifested and broke the mortal's limit by reaching 1,000,000 years old. Precisely, 5,000,000 years old!
After reaching 1,000,000 years old, a spirit ring's color changed to match its attributes. For example, a white-gold spirit ring from the infamous Skydream Ice Worm possesses "Divine" Spiritual Attributes.
Madara's 10th spirit ring is the dual element "Ultimate Fire & Ultimate Darkness" from his contracted soul beast.
In fact, the current "Nine-tailed Firefox" Hashira is just half a step away from becoming a Divine Beast.
While Hashirama was busy being shocked by Madara's grand display of cultivation, the Ghost of the Uchiha's 3rd and 4th Spirit Ring lit up and caused the war fan to enlarge.
Swooosh~!
The nature beam hit the war fan, charging the latter with "Nature Energy" to the brim.
Madara suddenly appeared before Hashirama and slammed the war fan on his face. "Take your attack back, Hashirama."
"Fu-!" Hashirama cursed in disbelief. This guy played dirty.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Hashirama was 'directly' hit by Madara's counterattack. It was his Nature Energy's beam transformed into a darkness-fire explosion.
And the force behind this attack is not by any means weak.
Since Hashirama couldn't resist or react in time, Madara knocked him several miles away in embarrassment.
Without Hashirama's robust, nature-enhanced physique, he would have gotten severely injured. Still, he felt intense pain from inside as his cells screamed from the aggression of Fire and Darkness elements.
Madara sure is heavy-handed to his old friend.
BOOOM!
Hashirama crashed into a blue lake, getting immersed in cold water.
"So, strong..." He coughed, struggling to stand on the water.
However, how could Madara let Hashirama breathe so easily?
Although Hashirama and Madara have fought each other for years, the latter is actually on the weaker side and loses more than the former.
"You look pathetic, Hashirama. The God of Shinobu couldn't even react to a counterattack." Madara appeared in the sky, standing on Hashira as the Firefox opened his mouth and fired a massive fireball at Hashirama.
The size of this fireball is massive, covering the entire lake. It looked more like a meteor than a fireball.
Hashirama hurriedly clasped his hand, "Martial Soul True Body..."
"Ancient Wood Elf's Manifestation."
A greenish shadow appeared behind Hashirama as the power of nature in the area responded to its appearance.
He looked up and mumbled, "Sage Art (Wood Release): Star-picking Pillar!"
Swoosh!
A massive azure tree burst through the ground, soaring toward the fireball at incredible speed. The top of the tree quickly transformed into a hand, striking the incoming fireball with great force.
Cracks! BOOM!
The sound of wood breaking echoed in the area.
"Go!" Hashirama swung his fists continuously, sending more and more wooden pillars.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
When Hashirama threw a punch, ten wooden pillars burst from the ground and hit the fireball, suspending it in the sky. However, he also gathered momentum with this method.
Soon, Nature's Energy flowed to his entire body.
"Sage Art (Wood Release): True Several Arms Holy Elf Avatar."
In the sky, the Ghost of the Uchiha narrowed his eyes as Hashirama's body suddenly glowed with a radiant light. No divinity is involved in this technique; it is merely pure vitality.
However, this pure vitality is so potent that even Hashira's fire couldn't extinguish it.
Burning with life force, Hashirama became the incarnation of nature as his hair danced wildly and his eyes glowed with golden light.
Hashirama's 8th spirit ring lit up. "Here we go, Madara!"
"8th Spirit Ring's first spirit skill: Last Advent of World Holy Tree."
"8th Spirit Ring's second spirit skill: Golden Trunk of Destruction!"
WOOOOOOOOOSH!
He flew up, charging an energy in his fist, and punched at the gigantic nine-tailed fox.
Hashira was stunned by Hashirama's sudden appearance and saw a massive golden fist manifesting, hitting him straight in the face.
BOOOOOOM!
ROAR!
Hashira roared in pain, 'What the fuck is this strength? A Soul Douluo shouldn't have such power!!'
Madara obviously understood Hashira's complaints. He stared at his old friend and analyzed his power. 'The spirit skills he used must be strength-enhancing skills.'
'And that massive golden fist must be the excessive energy he couldn't control. How green of you, Hashirama. Using a power that you can't control.'
'But this is indeed what you like. Fortune always favors you.' Madara jumped off Hashira's head, floating in the air.
'Well, let me test how long your luck can last this time!'
Madara's body exploded with a jet-black aura as if Death God had descended to the world.
He rushed toward Hashirama and punched at the elvish man's annoying-looking face.
"Hey, Hashirama!" He called out.
Hashirama dodged the punch and replied, "What?"
"FUCK YOU!!!" Madara grinned, shifting his body and kicking Hashirama's stomach in succession.
KABOOOOOOOOM!!
A pillar of water soared as Hashirama submerged underwater.
Cough! Cough!
"Damn it, he actually used space-time power to shift his body." Hashirama coughed out blood. "You crafty fox!"
After regaining his strength, Hashirama returned to the sky and fist-fight Madara.
"AGAIN!"
...
...
Meanwhile, another Senju and Uchiha have a life-and-death duel.
Haa, haa, haa!
Heavy breathing echoed in the destroyed river.
Tobirama stared at Izuna in disbelief, shocked because this man had become much more powerful than in his prime.
He has fought Izuna many times and knows what the younger brother of Uchiha Madara is capable of, but he doesn't expect him to possess such extreme potential.
After all, Uchiha Izuna died at such a young age.
'I underestimated his power...' Tobirama's face became solemn. He was unsure if he could win or not now.
On the other hand, Izuna also cursed in his mind, 'This guy's techniques are so annoying. The Flying Thunder God is already irritating enough, but his Martial Soul makes it worse...'
Tobirama's body flashed with silverish light. Like Minato, due to his high space-time attainment, Tobirama awakened a Martial Soul with space-time attributes.
However, unlike Minato, who awakened a bird-type Beast Martial Soul, Tobirama awakened a fish-type Beast Martial Soul.
More precisely, the Silver Ribbon Dragon-Fish. It has both Water and Space elements, which Tobirama is very suited to.
At the same time, Tobirama is also a Level 85 Soul Douluo.
"Wave Release: Heavy Water Explosion!" Hashirama stomped the ground as a silver-colored tsunami appeared, charging at Izuna.
Izuna snorted, "This again..."
"Ash Release: Ash Burning Dragon!" He spewed a gray-colored, burning dragon at Tobirama.
Both ninjutsu clashed and caused a 'massive' explosion, filling the area with a corrosive mist.
Tobirama appeared behind Izuna suddenly, swiping his Kunai.
"Not again, bitch!" Izuna expected Tobirama to teleport, and his body exploded into ashes, burning the Second Hokage alongside him.
Of course, it was just a clone of Izuna.
BOOOOOOM!
Izuna stood above a tree and saw Tobirama standing not far away with an ugly face. "So, that was a shadow clone..."
Tobirama possessed his Martial Soul, and his body bulged slightly as his skin was 'faintly' covered with silver dragon-fish scales. "It's time to get serious."
"I should be the one saying that!" Izuna retorted unhappily. His body also transformed, but not as exaggerated as Tobirama's, and four ash-feathered eagle wings unfurled from Izuna's back.
...
...
Yunlong watched their fight with a faint smile, "Well, good fights would stimulate their potential. Soon enough, Madara can condense his own godhood while Hashirama and others will reach the Title Douluo Realm."
Yunlong successfully implemented his second stage of final preparation.
In Yunlong's eyes, several other scenes also flashed. It's not just Madara and Hashirama. Many others also experienced intense battles against each other.
