Chapter 142 - 142. The Man Who Turned The Tide Of War! (2)

Listening to Uchiha Madara's satisfied voice and looking at the two-dozen huge blue figures, Hidan went numb, Kakuzu went numb...

Even Deidara was numb!

Because of Uchiha Itachi, Deidara had always been ready to prove himself by defeating a Sharingan owner to relieve his fear of the Sharingan.

But now, seeing Uchiha Madara's powers...

"Not gonna lie, I want a pair of Uchiha clan's Sharingan now."

Licking his lips, Deidara's eager voice rang out, causing Orochimaru, who was next to him, to freeze for a moment, then quickly relented.

'Seeing Uchiha Madara's power, even Deidara was interested in Sharingan now?'

'Even his hatred for Sharingan was put aside...?'

Orochimaru's eyes rolled. His somewhat deliberately suppressed voice rang out.

"Part of the Uchiha clan had come to Amegakure. You can try to gain their trust and, at some point, get them to give you their eyes."

"Huh?"

Deidara was confused by Orochimaru's words. He didn't expect Orochimaru to reveal such important news when he just mentioned it casually.

'The Uchiha clan came to Amegakure?'

'Some Uchiha people are still alive?'

'Ah? That's...'

Both Deidara and the Akatsuki crowd were dumbfounded at the moment.

"I wondered where that damned Uchiha Itachi went. Could he be back in his mother's embrace?"

Deidara's questioning voice rang out. Then his eyes rolled a few times, and he looked at Orochimaru.

"After all that talk, you must want a pair of Sharingan too, right?

Uchiha Sasuke's Sharingan, do you want it or not? I want it."

Orochimaru shook his head, glanced at Deidara, who had gotten a little excited, and gazed quietly at the pitch-black Susanoo not far away.

'Deidara doesn't know that Uchiha Fugaku is Uchiha Sasuke's father...'

'Hopefully, with the leader around, Deidara won't get killed by Uchiha Fugaku.'

After all, what bad intentions could he and Deidara have!?

Deidara just wanted to collect a pair of Sharingan, while Orochimaru just wanted someone to be a decoy.

"Don't you think about these things?"

Sasori's voice sounded, and at some point, he had emerged from his puppet, Hiruko.

At this moment, he was in his own human puppet form, not to mention, behind him, hundreds of puppets dressed in red appeared.

"Haha, don't be so nervous. You haven't taken off your clothes yet, so you can't die!"

Hidan looked at the others who had tensed up and made a snide remark.

He then turned his attention to Uchiha Madara, who was facing off with Uzumaki Nagato.

"Orochimaru, do you know the Eight Inner Gates Formation?"

"Eight Gates?"

Orochimaru froze and repeated it in a daze, looking at Hidan with a strange gaze.

'Is it the time to ask something like this...?'

'You still want a quick fix?'

'Learn from Might Guy, and kick Madara on the spot?'

Orochimaru's brow furrowed slightly as he suddenly thought of Hidan's traits.

'Immortality...'

'Plus, the Eight Gates...'

Orochimaru kept silent. As someone who once came close to becoming a Hokage, Orochimaru certainly knew about the Eight Inner Gates Formation.

But he couldn't give it to Hidan. After all, building up a stronger person than him in Akatsuki wasn't in Orochimaru's interest.

What's more, Orochimaru felt that even if he gave Hidan the Eight Gates technique.

No, even if the Eight Gates were popularized and spread throughout the shinobi world, there wasn't necessarily anyone who could match Might Guy!

'No one would really be naïve enough to think that Morning Peacock, Daytime Tiger, Evening Elephant, and Night Guy were really just ordinary names for the skills of the Eight Gates technique, right?'

'Those were the secret codes of the Eight Gates!'

Morning, day, evening, and night.

The secret to the success of the Eight Gates was to keep practicing, keep practicing, and keep practicing. Morning to night.

If anyone who knew Might Guy were to name the hardest working person they have ever met, the answer would be Might Guy.

Therefore, even Orochimaru, who was so obsessed with immortality techniques and forbidden techniques, gave up on this forbidden technique after finding out the Eight Inner Gates Formation's secret.

If there were no other words to describe Orochimaru's contempt for Hidan's whimsical thinking at this moment, Orochimaru would like to tell Hidan one thing.

Even all the Hokages of the past, none of them studied the Eight Inner Gates Formation!

Therefore, in the survival exam, when Might Guy killed four Kages, when the video of the Fourth Shinobi World War revealed that he almost kicked Six Path Madara to death, Orochimaru wasn't surprised, nor did he envy.

Because he knew that if it wasn't for the divine anomaly of the exam space, those few seconds of Might Guy's glory were what he had exchanged for a lifetime of working in silence.

Keeping silent and suddenly achieving greatness!

...

Swish!

As Orochimaru was thinking, a beautiful figure with wings on her back suddenly flew over the heads of the group and headed straight up to where Uchiha Madara and Uzumaki Nagato were facing each other.

"Akatsuki, prepare to fight back!"

Konan's cold voice sounded overhead, which made everyone in Akatsuki raise their heads.

Even Uchiha Fugaku, at the moment, looked up curiously.

"What is she going to do?"

On the other hand, Uzumaki Kushina and Uchiha Mikoto, who stood above Amegakure, noticed Konan's bizarre behavior.

In the eyes of the puzzled crowd of Amegakure, Konan flew and arrived behind Uchiha Madara in the blink of an eye.

A bizarre explosive tag was attached to Uchiha Madara's Susanoo in a swift motion, and then her wings flapped lightly, quickly pulling away.

Konan, who then escaped to a safe distance, made a sharp turn in the air. Then, Konan crushed the card in her hand directly against Uchiha Madara's Susanoo.

"Select! Uchiha Madara!"

'?'

'??'

"What's that?"

Uchiha Madara found a dazzling red aura that suddenly blossomed out of Konan's hand and shot into his body.

Under that weird red aura, Uchiha Madara was surprised to find that his full-body Susanoo seemed to be defenseless.

Allowing the red aura to pass through.

Uchiha Madara looked at the red aura that shot into his body suspiciously.

Originally, Konan appeared behind him, but he didn't care. He knew it was because of Sharingan. The other party didn't dare to appear in front of him.

'Did she think appearing behind me was the answer?'

What's even funnier was that she pasted an explosive tag on his Susanoo.

'An explosive tag against Susanoo...'

'Why don't you just stab it with a kunai?'

Originally, Uchiha Madara was about to ridicule, but by now, he had been surprised by the change that had just taken place.

"What is this technique?"

Seeing that the red glow was too strange, Uchiha Madara was immediately on guard.

After what happened just now, Uchiha Madara had been afraid of being careless. After all, unlike just now, his Chronobreak was cooling down.

Just when Uchiha Madara's mind was quickly turning, he heard Konan's voice again.

"Nagato, Uchiha Madara now has a phobia. As long as he sees blood, his strength will drop by more than half."

Hearing Konan's words, Uchiha Madara suddenly froze and then flew into a rage!

"Me? Uchiha Madara! Fear blood?"

Uchiha Madara laughed in anger. His already terrifying aura increased again, causing everyone's face to change.

"It seems that I am underestimated!"

The voice seemed to be squeezed out of his gritting teeth. At this moment, Uchiha Madara was unabashedly mad with killing intent!

Unexpectedly, a gust of wind swept around him, with him as the center of the circle, sweeping in all directions.

'Hemophobia!'

'I, Uchiha Madara, terrified of blood!?'

'Haha!'

Uchiha Madara sneered.

'I fought bloody battles while she, a little girl, was probably only crying somewhere!'

'She said I was afraid of blood? Me, Uchiha Madara...?!'

'Why didn't she just say that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya would die because of a seduction technique?'

Clank!

Controlling Susanoo and pulling out two swords, Uchiha Madara was ready to strike straight away. He didn't want to waste any more time with these people.

...

Just as Uchiha Madara was about to move, when Uzumaki Nagato heard Konan's warning, without thinking, he directly poured out chakra on his hand and slashed his other palm.

Whoosh!

The chakra instantly cut his palm, and blood spurted out.

In order to ensure that Uchiha Madara could see, Uzumaki Nagato raised his bloody palm towards Uchiha Madara.

Under the influence of gravity, Uzumaki Nagato's blood spurted down in a parabolic pattern from in front of the two.

At this moment, there was a bizarre situation on the battlefield, as if two young children were fighting in the sandpit, raising dust.

It's just that at this moment, the two people fighting were two of the most powerful people in the shinobi world, and what was raised wasn't sand but blood.

"Is it ... effective?"

Konan appeared in the distance. Her pair of beautiful eyes looked forward to Uchiha Madara's reaction.

The card, which she snatched from Ryuji, seemed to be a product of the exam space.

Konan didn't know how Ryuji got it. After all, as far as she could remember, Ryuji only took the survival exam once, and he wasn't in the top ranks.

But at the moment, this Hemophobia card could still be used to defeat Uchiha Madara.

Konan had read the description on the card, and she knew that with Uchiha Madara's power, he fell into the strong-willed category.

That meant that Uchiha Madara's strength would drop by 60%.

"Hmm?"

"What's going on?"

At the moment of seeing the blood, Uchiha Madara was horrified to find that a sudden change began to appear in his body.

Because he couldn't feel the change of his own chakra in his current state, Uchiha Madara's Susanoo was the first to change.

Under Uchiha Madara's shocked gaze, the full-bodied Susanoo on him was degrading rapidly.

The Susanoo sword.... disappeared!

Its armor .... disappeared!
