Kabuto's Last Stand
"Damn it! Sage Mode!" Feeling the fear of death, Kabuto dared not hesitate! He knew that if he held back even a little, the result would be irreversible regret!
Kabuto was also capable of Sage Mode. However, his Sage Mode differed somewhat from Finn's. While Finn's Sage Mode was a system reward, it was the Mount Myōboku Sage Mode. As for Kabuto's Sage Mode, it originated from the Snake Sage. In terms of raw power comparison, there wasn't much essential difference between the two. However, Finn hadn't had to practice Sage Mode for long; he'd received it directly as an advanced form reward! It was like a new player in a game suddenly encountering a VIP player with cheats—the contrast was incredibly stark!
Furthermore, Finn had also activated all Eight Gates and infused his attack with Armament Haki!
Rumble!
Finn's fist descended from the sky and, without any deviation, slammed into Kabuto! With a bang, Kabuto was smashed deep into the ground! All at once, the earth fractured and cracked, fissures spreading outwards like a spider's web, creating a visually impactful scene!
Finn withdrew his fist, revealing a massive, fist-shaped crater in the earth. Kabuto lay motionless inside, seemingly dead. However, Finn's Observation Haki picked up Kabuto's faint breathing. Although weak, it confirmed that Kabuto was not yet dead. Even though Kabuto's Sage Mode was the form of a Snake Sage, it was still a Sage after all. He had endured Finn's powerful punch and survived...
But Finn wouldn't give him any more chances.
"It's surprising he didn't die." Finn sneered slightly, then moved his palm through the air, and an Energy Fairy Sword automatically materialized and settled in his hand. Finn aimed the Energy Sword at Kabuto's head, intending to finish him.
Madara's Arrogance and Finn's Counter
"Don't worry, he hasn't reached the point of death yet." At this moment, Uchiha Madara spoke suddenly, and a powerful aura radiated from his body. It was as if a male lion had suddenly awakened in the open wilderness; his presence was like a force that could swallow mountains and rivers, instilling fear in those around him.
Of course, Finn was not on that list!
Finn glanced at Uchiha Madara blandly, looking at him as if he were an idiot. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
As soon as these words left Finn's mouth, Uchiha Madara almost spat out a mouthful of old blood! What do you mean I'm teaching you how to do things?! What the hell?! Don't I have the qualifications?! Not long ago, Uchiha Madara had said similar words to Kabuto, and Kabuto hadn't dared to even make a sound. This was confidence that stemmed from sheer power. But now, this guy in front of him, just an ordinary-looking young man, dared to speak to him, Uchiha Madara, like that? Uchiha Madara felt utterly humiliated!
"Heh heh~" Suddenly, Uchiha Madara sneered, and he stared coldly at Finn. "Young people always pay the price for their ignorance." As he spoke, Uchiha Madara immediately pulled out a weapon resembling a large Gama-kun fan from behind his back. He slapped it towards Finn!
Finn moved his feet, activating Advanced Shave! His natural speed attribute was already astonishingly high, coupled with the instant burst of high-level Shave, Finn's figure vanished from his spot like a flash of lightning. Uchiha Madara's fan naturally swiped through empty air.
"Huh?" A sound of surprise escaped Uchiha Madara. He clearly hadn't expected this young man with such ordinary eyes to be so incredibly fast. He immediately leaped into the air, intending to pursue and eliminate Finn.
The Decisive Blow and Madara's Shock
As Finn saw Uchiha Madara attempting to give chase, he laughed mockingly, "You may look like a hero, but you're also an idiot. Can't you see such a simple trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Hearing Finn's words, Uchiha Madara's heart trembled slightly. He immediately turned his head to look at Kabuto below. He saw an Energy Fairy Sword flying out of nowhere, slicing across Kabuto's head! With a click, Kabuto's head rolled away like a detached gourd! Obviously, he was thoroughly and definitively killed!
"By the way! Didn't your father tell you? In battle, don't be swayed by the words of the enemy!" Just as Uchiha Madara seethed with anger at being fooled by Finn, Finn's voice came from behind him again. But this time, Finn's voice was very close. There was no doubt Finn had appeared right behind him.
Uchiha Madara immediately spun around, wanting to fight Finn. But in this surprise attack scenario, how could Finn give him a chance? A punch! It was similar to the impact of the punch that had just shattered Kabuto! Uchiha Madara was sent plummeting from the air by Finn's punch as if he were a cannonball.
With a bang, Uchiha Madara crashed into the soil, sending earth and rocks splashing, and causing landslides and ground cracks! The already ravaged land became even worse after being hit by Finn's second punch.
Uchiha Madara rose from the soil, looking at Finn in horror. He never imagined that this seemingly ordinary young man would possess such strength! Uchiha Madara hadn't paid much attention when Kabuto was punched by Finn earlier and nearly gravely injured. After all, he didn't know Kabuto had mastered Sage Mode. In his opinion, Kabuto's strength was merely adequate. It wasn't uncommon for someone to be able to kill Kabuto with a single punch. It was only now, when Finn's fist landed on him, that he truly realized how terrifying the other party's strength was.
"Damn it, who are you? Why have I never met you? You're so powerful; you shouldn't be an unknown entity." Uchiha Madara looked at Finn in disbelief.
Finn spread his hands, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you should honor me as the village head! I am the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village! Finn!"
Hokage?! Hearing Finn introduce himself like this, Uchiha Madara was stunned! When did Konoha Village have such a person? And the name was Finn... Which family did he belong to in Konoha Village? Was he just a commoner who became a Hokage?
After pondering for a while, Uchiha Madara couldn't figure it out. He simply put a hand to his head and laughed. "It's truly interesting. The grievances between me and Konoha Village are truly interesting. Since you are the Hokage of Konoha Village, I will use you today. I'll make you a stepping stone for the old man's return!"
