Upon hearing Kaze's shout, his four teammates each reacted differently.
Tanzō: "All-Seeing.jpg"
Hiruzen: "Shocked.jpg"
Tobirama: "Interesting.gif"
Hashirama: "Watching-the-Show.jpg"
Even Madara, inside the cockpit, wore an expression of surprise and uncertainty.
Hoo~
A gentle breeze blew past. Nothing happened.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Kaze scratched his head helplessly and said,
"Miina, I'm from the Shimura clan—how could I possibly summon a Susano'o? What exactly are you expecting?"
"I've already drawn Madara's attention! Stop standing around in shock; attack already!"
(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ Tsk~
They all rolled their eyes in unison, skipped their turns, and went straight to the next round.
[Wood Release: Wood Human Jutsu!]
With a clap of Hashirama's hands, four or five thick branches shot out from nowhere, intertwining before him into a massive wooden figure rivaling even the Perfect Susanoo.
Kaze and Tanzō's eyes lit up. Father and son exchanged a glance before both clapped their hands together as well.
[Wood Release: Wood Human Jutsu!]
After the visual effects faded, two smaller wooden figures emerged beside Hashirama's giant one, like younger siblings trailing behind.
"Heh, boring."
Tobirama curled his lip slightly while muttering under his breath, "Techniques lacking in both skill and artistry... This is an outright insult to the art of war."
"Master, I completely agree with your opinion," Hiruzen nodded earnestly beside him, empathizing deeply.
"Hmph, trying to gang up on me? Fine then, bring it on!" Madara, inside the cockpit, let out a scoff.
Susano'o raised its blade high, forming hand seals with both hands. With four muscular arms swinging fiercely, it charged toward the three wooden giants.
"This isn't ganging up—it's called gaining support through righteousness and losing enemies through injustice!"
Black patterns crawled across Kaze's cheeks as he shifted into Sage Mode mid-sentence.
Crunch, crunch.
With the infusion of Sage Chakra, the wooden figure in front of him began rapidly growing until soon, it was nearly equal in size to Hashirama's.
Tanzō: "..."
He was rapidly losing paternal dignity.
Boom, boom, boom.
The four towering figures shook the ground as they advanced, thundering with each step.
Though appearing clumsy, they moved incredibly fast, clashing head-on in seconds.
Smack!
Susano'o swung its free arm hard and delivered a massive backhanded slap to Tanzō's wooden figure, knocking it flat onto the ground.
Tanzō: "..."
The two larger wooden figures arrived quickly, throwing punches—one from the left, one from the right—at Susano'o.
[Water Release: Water Severing Slash!]
Using the Body Flicker Technique, Tobirama instantly repositioned behind Susano'o. Drawing upon his terrifying chakra reserves, he exhaled a high-pressure water blade over dozens of meters long, slicing horizontally toward Susano'o.
As for Hiruzen, he quietly retreated further from the battlefield, pumped more chakra into the Four Red Yang Formation so that others could use more chakra during the battle.
Since he couldn't directly join the fight, acting as a portable battery pack was part of the plan too.
Crk!
Susano'o sidestepped the water blade, its movements stalled for a brief instant.
Kaze and his companion immediately seized the opportunity. The fists of the two wooden constructs rained down like a storm, fast and dense, hammering onto the Susanoo.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
Though both sides had four arms each, in actual combat, it was clearly Madara who found himself at a disadvantage.
Especially with Tobirama, that annoying pest, constantly sneaking in little attacks from the side, forcing Madara into a desperate defense.
Swish!
The wings behind Susanoo suddenly spread wide. With one powerful flap, it rapidly ascended, leaving the battlefield and dodging the small wooden construct lunging from behind.
[Susanoo: Blazing Inferno Slash!]
Flames roared to life on the long sword. The Susanoo raised its two sword-wielding arms and furiously slashed downward.
Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash! Crash!
Arcs of blade aura dozens of meters long carved through the air like a falling sea of fire, indiscriminately striking everyone below.
Each slash packed enough force to split even a small mountain in half!
The *Four Red Yang Formation* they had set up earlier now restricted their own space to evade.
Seeing this, Hashirama prepared to clap his hands together: [Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!]
"You're not getting your chance! [Susanoo: Shinra Tensei!]"
Madara had already anticipated Hashirama's move. He activated [Shinra Tensei] ahead of time, using Susanoo as a medium. A terrifying wave of repulsive force erupted!
[Shinra Tensei!]
Tanzō attempted to stop him using [Shinra Tensei] too, but compared to Madara's version, his was on an entirely different scale.
Crash!
Hashirama, Tanzō, and others—including the wooden constructs—were blasted backward, completely knocked off balance, their techniques forcibly interrupted.
Even the fire-charged blade auras accelerated downward under the push of repulsive force, now faster and more dangerous than before.
"Haaah!"
Kaze let out a low shout. Countless root-like tendrils erupted from within him, piercing the ground like blades. They tensed tightly, anchoring Kaze firmly in place.
[Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!]
With a slap of his palms, Kaze summoned a towering wooden Daibutsu nearly a kilometer tall, boosted by Tobirama's Experience Card.
Madara: "Nani?!"
He hadn't expected Kaze, with his limited chakra reserves, to still unleash such a massive technique in this situation.
What?! He's got the System's Experience Card!
No choice for Madara—even with all his careful planning, he couldn't predict the power of the System-given Experience Card.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The serene-faced Daibutsu stood firm like a mighty mountain range, easily blocking the incoming blade auras.
Next moment.
Rather than launching a descending assault from above, Kaze did something unexpected—something that left everyone present utterly bewildered.
He leapt straight down from atop the Giant Buddha, diving headfirst like a moth rushing toward a flame, directly at the airborne Susanoo below.
"Uchiha Madara, I—a mere nobody—will take your head today!"
"Arrogant fool!"
Madara roared in anger. In the floating hands of his Susanoo appeared a series of tomoe-shaped energy spheres filled with astonishing power.
[Yasaka Magatama!]
From afar, watching this unfold, Tanzō was beside himself with rage: "My son!"
Despite normally wishing nothing more than to crush this disobedient brat, seeing Kaze in danger sent his heart clenching in agony.
"Little Kaze!" Hashirama cried out in shock as well.
All this unfolded in mere seconds. There was no time for him to respond or lend aid.
Midair!
As the Yasaka Magatama was about to strike, Kaze suddenly raised his half-closed eyelids.
[Right Eye – Land of Purity!]
A surge of blood-colored chakra flooded into Kaze's eyes, emitting an eerie crimson glow!
Sharingan... Mangekyō Sharingan!
An invisible force wrapped around Kaze, creating an airtight domain around him.
Zzzzt!
The incoming Yasaka Magatama crashed into the domain and melted away like spring snow vanishing into nothingness.
More shockingly, Madara noticed that Susano'o's structure had begun to destabilize.
The azure-blue chakra flickered unsteadily, as though on the verge of vanishing at any moment.
"It's that brat Yau's dōjutsu ability!" Madara immediately realized what was happening, cursing under his breath.
Susano'o flapped its wings again, trying to pull away from Kaze.
But under the Land of Purity's influence, Susano'o's movements grew sluggish.
"Too late!"
Kaze bared his teeth in a savage grin and roared, "Susano'o!"
Black chakra surged forth in waves, instantly coalescing into a dark martial deity that caught Kaze mid-fall.
[Left Eye – Takemikazuchi!]
The black Susano'o bared a cruel grin mirroring Kaze's own, then drew a longsword crackling with lightning from its chest.
[Divine Treasure – Futsu no Mitama!]
The black Susano'o gripped Futsu no Mitama in reverse with both hands and drove it down in a vicious stabbing motion toward the opposing Susano'o.
