Chapter 53 - 4: Fight Madara

*Bang*

The two fiercely collided, exchanging several blows, then Madara moved backwards and smirked forming seal with his hands.

"Katon: Dragon Flame Caterwaul!"

Then he released ten gigantic Flame Dragons at Haruto, who also executed several seals.

"Shakuton: Cloud of Glowing Flame"

Haruto created a flaming orange cloud in the direction of Madara, burning everything in its path.

*Booooom*

Madara's and Haruto's Jutsu clashed, shaking the ground and cracking rocks.

"Gear 2: Phase Two"

After the explosion stopped, a large cloud of dust began to slowly dissipate. Haruto drew his sword, as a dark chakra emanated from his body, and appeared in front of Madara in a third of a second.

Next, before Madara had the time to react, he cut him about ten times before brutally punching him.

Madara was surprised for a moment by Haruto's speed, before recovering from the attack he had just suffered.

"Katon: Great fire annihilation!"

He then executed several seals, expelled his chakra from the mouth and shaped it into a massive wall of intense flames, Forcing Haruto to back out.

Great Wind Chakra Blade

Haruto infused chakra in his sword and made a slash.

The ground was burnt yet again and all the landscape was destroyed.

As clouds of dust and ashes rose in the sky, Haruto and Madara clashed again in a Taijutsu fight for about three minutes, before Madara suddenly hit his palms against the ground.

"Mokuton: Deep Forest Bloom!"

Then the ground around him began to violently shake, and huge cracks appeared on it. After that, countless huge trees instantly burst out from the ground in succession with Madara in its center.

Countless enormous trees, which suddenly grew from the ground, surrounded Haruto inside the forest. Simultaneously, innumerable huge vines abruptly flew out from woods attacking him.

Haruto held out his palms in different directions and a powerful orange chakra emanated from him.

"Shakuton: Divine incineration!"

*BOOOM* *BOOOM* *BOOOM*

Gigantic flames came out of his palms, drowning more than 10 kilometres around him in a destructive wave of flames, incinerating everything within a radius of 12 kilometres, rising more than two kilometres into the sky and ravaging the ground at a depth of several tens of metres.

The forest created by Madara was quickly incinerated leaving no trace of its former glory, only rocks on ground that began to melt.

Little by little the smoke and dust dissipated, revealing Madara's half-cremated body, with a purplish-blue colored energy layer completely surrounding what was left of his body.

This energy started forming a giant skeleton shape, protecting him against flames.

Then the chakra skeleton grew as the pattern of Madara's Sharingan changed. It became a hundred-meter giant resembling a Tengu with its outer armour and a secondary pair of arms wielding a sheathed katana.

The giant drew his Katana and with near-instantaneous speed and power attacked Haruto.

*Bang*

The giant's Katana hit and divided the ground in two, creating an earthquake and a huge gully.

Haruto immediately dodged this attack by jumping towards the sky.

"Gear 3!"

A monstrous amount of chakra burst out of Haruto's body, his body grew, the length of his hair slightly increased, his musculature became more imposing, then he firmly held his sword in front of him.

Next he did a slash.

*Swing*

A gigantic wave of air, more than a kilometre high sliced at Madara's Susanoo. The next moment, it was cut in half.

Even before Madara could react, two more Slashes came to slice his Soosano and cut his body in four.

Then Haruto appeared in front of him and sliced him about ten more times before placing his left palm against his shattered body.

"Shakuton: The Howls of hell!"

*Booom* *Booom*

Red radiance came out of Haruto's palm, then a large amount of red chakra suddenly flashed out from within his palm.

Dazzling radiance appeared along with an extremely loud explosion with Madara as a center.

This explosion instantly engulfed the surroundings within a radius of six kilometers.

......

Several tens of kilometers away Gaara and Kistuchi, seeing the damage from the battle, took a deep breath.

"Are they even humans?" Absentmindedly asked Kitsuchi.

Soon they were joined by a medium-sized blonde woman, a tall man with dark skin, large muscular build, white-blond combed back hair, a small moustache and goatee, and tall woman with fair skin, green eyes and auburn hair, styled into a herringbone pattern at the back.

They were the sixth Hokage Tsunade, the fourth Raikage A and the fifth Mizukage Mei.
