Chapter 626: Madara Vs Team Izuna Part-3
SLASH...
The invisible blade rips the chest of Susanoo like paper and arrives in front of Sasuke.
"KAMUII!!"
Before Izuna makes his move, a shout reverberates through the battle.
SWIRL... SWIRL...
A swirling black hole opens in front of Sasuke, pulling the invisible blade alongside it in another dimension.
"That was close!" Sasuke heaves a sigh of relief and glances at Obito, who had opened his eyes a few moments ago.
HEH...
However, Madara smirks at this moment.
SLASH...
Blood spews out from Obito's right eye, forming a cross-mark around it.
ARGH...
Obito grabs his destroyed right eye in pain.
"Indeed, you are quite tenacious!" Black Zetsu mocks Obito as he recalls the first time Obito met Madara.
Even back then, half of Obito's body was crushed, and he was close to being a corpse.
SWISH...
Izuna immediately swings his black dagger in front of his face.
DING...
Sparks fly around as the sound of metal clashing against each other echoes through the surroundings.
HAAH...
A red aura envelops the dagger, and he repels the invisible scythes. Izuna's attack reveals the spinning purple scythes.
Madara extends his hands and retrieves them. His eyes narrow as he glances at the black blade in Izuna's hands.
"My arm... it's... it's not regenerating!"
A purple aura covers the wound on Naruto's arm, preventing it from healing.
"Naruto, Sasuke, avoids those scythes as much as possible! They are powerful artifacts and can negate most of your Six Paths Power."
Whoosh...
Madara dual wields the scythe and rushes towards Izuna for close combat.
DING... DING...
Izuna engages Madara in a duel and repels the attacks of his scythes with the black blade in his hand.
"HAHA... NOT BAD! You can even repel these weapons I found in the ancient ruins. Then, shall we dance to our heart's content?!"
A grin appears on Madara's face as he swings the scythes like a reaper. His extreme proficiency with the weapon makes him a deadly foe.
Swoosh...
Izuna ducks down and dodges a horizontal spin attack.
Bang...
He kicks Madara's legs, making him tumble. Madara quickly stabilizes himself by stabbing one of his scythes in the ground and using it to rotate his body. He uses the rotation to perform a spinning slash towards Izuna with the other scythe.
DING...
Izuna repels the other scythe with his black blade and retreats.
Swish...
He makes a hand seal.
WHAM...
A sealing Fuinjutsu formation appears behind Madara's feet.
Ahem...
"I had a few lucky encounters in these past few years." Izuna clears his throat.
"Stay alert! He is coming!"
Izuna suddenly turns around while dual-wielding the black blades.
RIIP...
Suddenly, the space in front of the trio is cut open in a cross-shape pattern.
Two pale hands stretch out from beyond the space and rip apart the space tear to expand it.
Madara walks out of the space tear with the dual scythes in his hand.
Hmm...
"You two look different from before!"
Madara notices the strange weapons in their hands.
"Ancient artifacts? Nonetheless, it doesn't matter! Even if a child wields a blade, he is still a child in the end!"
"Then, come and try me?" Naruto smirks and lifts his leg.
"SHIT! NARUTO, DON'T DO IT HERE!"
Shiing...
A purple light flickers from Izuna's eye, instantly displacing the space and people around him to another dimension.
BOOM...
Naruto stomps the ground, crumbling a major portion of the surroundings beneath his feet.
Whoosh...
A red aura envelops him as he arrives in front of Madara in an instant. Having anticipated the attack in advance, Madara blocks Naruto's strikes with his scythes.
BANG...
A powerful pressure acts upon Madara's body and sends him stumbling across the ground for a very long distance. Madara's body creates a vast gully through the barren land of this desolate dimension.
HAAH...
After tumbling across for several hundred meters, Madara stabilizes his body and slams his scythes into the ground to kill the momentum.
Spurt...
Suddenly, blood overflows from Madara's broken and twisted wrists.
SNAP... SNAP...
Madara snaps his broken wrists into place.
'His strength has increased by several folds. It's still a bit lacking compared to that Eight Gate Shinobi. However,"
Shiing...
Madara observes Naruto with his 'Eye of Truth'. He notices several red vein-like protrusions spread across Naruto's body. The protrusion emits a red aura that bolsters Naruto's strength and defense.
'I see! So, that's how this weapon works. It consumes the vitality of the user to strengthen him. Since this brat is a Uzumaki, he has almost endless vitality. Quite a fitting weapon for him! As for the other brat..."
Swoosh...
Madara dodges sideways and narrowly avoids a streak of black blade slash.
RUMBLE... RUMBLE...
The blade energy cleaves a massive portion of the land in two. Sinister black flames rise from the massive rift, burning and destroying everything in their surroundings.
'Why do these Amaterasu flames feel powerful from before? It feels like there is something malevolent hidden within them. These are no longer heavenly flames, but demonic flames.'

A/N:- How is the battle between Madara and the Izuna Group so far? Give your precious feedback to help me improve the details and quality of these fights.
Also, a quick note, with every passing second, Madara is getting stronger and versatile in his techniques since he is adapting to his powers and discovering new abilities of his eyes. Also, Izuna too is slowly recovering from his previous battles. It's the reason the fight is so prolonged and Izuna appears weak. If not, we won't get to see such a long battle.
