Chapter 593: Battle of the Gods
Shoom
Obito slowly floats out of the dust and debris. The shell created by the Truth-seeking orbs disperses slowly.
Hmm
Tobirama notices the impact of Naruto and Sasuke's jutsu on Obito's body.
"Even though those orbs nullified most of the power of the jutsu. It wasn't able to block everything."
Guffaw
Obito spits out some blood from his mouth. Black flames slowly burn his body.
"I am hurt?" Obito wipes the blood from his mouth and glances at Naruto and Sasuke.
Naruto is currently in his Kurama chakra Avatar mode, while Sasuke is using his Perfect Susanoo.
Swirl
The black flames around him get sucked into his body.
"What's that?" Hiruzen and Mito ask in surprise.
"Where did those flames go? I thought he couldn't nullify the Senjutsu chakra."
"It's the Rinnegan!" Tsunade points out.
"He not only possesses the same power as the Sage of Six Paths but also possesses the eyes of the Sage."
"Damn it! Not even our full power attacks could take him down?" Naruto clicks his tongue.
"He has become almost as powerful as Izuna Nii-san." Naruto clicks his tongue.
"What?" Hiruzen and Mito glance at each other in surprise.
"Yeah, that's true!" Jiraiya also agrees with him.
Hmm
Hiruzen turns to Jiraiya and asks him.
"Why would you say something like that, Jiraiya? With his current power, he is almost as strong as the founder of the Shinobi. So, how could Izuna compare to him?"
"Old man, you probably don't know this since you never fought that guy!" Jiraiya shakes his head and glances at Obito.
"The current him might look invincible on the surface with that god-like power, but I still have a faint feeling that if all of us work together, then we can take him down. However, against that brat Izuna, I never had such a feeling. I always felt like he knew my every move and secret. That he can counter each move perfectly and there is no chance for me to resist."
"Pervy-sage is right! Compared to Izuna Nii-san, this guy can be beaten. This is my gut feeling."
Itachi, Sasuke, Tsunade, and Mei also agree with him.
"You have so much trust in that kid's ability?! Now I would really like to meet him in person." Mito remarks as she notices Tsunade's expression.
Whoosh Whoosh
Both Naruto and Sasuke take the lead to battle Obito. Their massive avatars menacingly land in front of the tiny Obito and dwarves him in all aspects.
"Oh? So, this is how the two of you are going all out?"
Swirl
Obito spins the Shakuj staff in his hands.
"Very well! Show me what you have got?"
HAAH
Sasuke unsheathes his blades and swings them at Obito.
"Sage Art: Raikan Hengoku,"
Bzzt Purple lightning flickers across the Susanoo's twin blades. He slashes the blades in a cross pattern, releasing a burst of chakra and nature energy.
Shoom
Obito blocks the attack with a shield made of Truth-seeking orbs. The attack leaves a cross-mark on the surface of the Truth-seeking orb, slightly wearing it out.
After absorbing the brunt of the slash, the Truth-seeking orb enters in a standby mode.
HAAH
Naruto also charges up an attack. He infuses nature energy in a small tailed beast bomb and fires it point-blank at Obito.
Hashirama silently glances at the calm expression on Madara's face.
"Hashirama, if it was me from before, then this attack might create some difficulties. But now"
The rings of his Rinnegan slightly spin outwards.
"SHINRA TENSEI!"
The Susanoo frees its arms from the grasp of vines and extends them outward. With Madara's Susanoo as the epicenter, a powerful repulsive wave stretches outward.
This repulsive force destroys the entire forest in an instant and even pushes Hashirama's wood golem back.
"It's that same jutsu from before!" Hashirama recalls Madara's previous move.
"So, is this the power of Rinnegan, the legendary Dojutsu of the Sage of Six Paths?"
"Hmm what you see is merely scraping the surface of its true power. Witness its true power with your own eyes. The arms of Madara's Susanoo make Ram hand seal.
Huh!
Hashirama raises his head and notices a giant shadow in the sky.
"Shattered Heaven: Falling Star: Tengai Shinsei,"
A massive heavenly body descends from the sky and shrouds the battlefield. The expression of all shinobi changes. The courage they mustered after Shikaku's previous speech vanishes in smoke.
The shinobis scatter in all directions and frantically attempt to escape from the impact of the meteorite.
"So, that's the kind of power you possess now."
A slight smile appears on Hashirama's face. He smirks and bites his thumb.
"In that case"
Hashirama makes a series of hand signs and slams his palm on top of the wooden golem.
"Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands Buddha,"
Instantly, a titanic, thousand-hand Buddha statue in a sitting praying posture appears behind Hashirama.
Thousands of hands originate from the statue's back in countless concentric rows, while its two main hands are clasped, as if in prayer.
Hashirama claps his hands and infuses a large amount of Sage chakra into the Buddha statue.
Shiing
The eyes of the Buddha light up with a golden hue. The nature energy traverses through its body and enters the several thousand hands on its back.
The massive meteorite quickly closes the distance on the battlefield. The thousand Buddha hands also take action.
"Thousand Hand Strike,"
The several thousand hands on the back quickly stretch forward and strike the meteorite with full strength.
Bang Bang
A cacophony of noise echoes on the battlefield. Dust, debris, and rock fragments fly everywhere. With the strike of each Buddha's hand, a massive chunk of the meteorite is chipped away.
The Thousand Hands Buddha dismantles the meteorite within seconds.
"You didn't disappoint me." Madara calmly glances at Hashirama as several thousand hands bombard Madara's Susanoo after dismantling the meteorite.
A massive crater appears at the Susanoo's location after the Buddha is done with him.
Madara's body lies deep within the crater. His torn and tattered body slowly regenerates, courtesy of being an Edo.
"Even though I can't kill you. I won't let you run amok any longer."
Hashirama claps his palm and summons several massive Tori gates.
"Sage Art: Gate of the Gracious Great Gods"
Bang bang
The massive Tori gates fall on top of Madara and trap him in a sealing formation, suppressing his chakra.
