Summoning Gedo Statue

Madara's Arrogance and Finn's Superiority

"Use you as the stepping stone for the old man's return!" Uchiha Madara declared mercilessly, staring at Finn.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" Madara's palm swiftly formed a hand seal, he inhaled deeply, then exhaled a massive torrent of fire towards Finn. In that instant, four colossal fire dragons materialized before Uchiha Madara, attacking Finn from all four directions—up, down, left, and right—leaving Finn no room to hide.

Whoosh~ These four fire dragons were enormous, their flames billowing, and the surrounding temperature rapidly escalated! The entire air became incredibly dry, making it intensely uncomfortable. The four fire dragons were lifelike, flames constantly rolling across their bodies, resembling turbulent waves of fire.

But did Finn need to hide from all this? No, clearly, Finn didn't need to hide! Seeing the four fire dragons attacking wildly, Finn showed no panic. The shadow beneath his feet immediately became like a swamp, and his entire body sank into it. The four fire dragons landed where Finn had just stood, erupting in violent flames. The ground was ripped apart, and billows of fire rose into the sky! Under this immense power, not only was the ground completely scorched, but it was burned through three feet deep! It was clear how powerful these fire dragons were!

However, Uchiha Madara frowned intensely. He clearly saw that just before his fire dragons attacked Finn, Finn had miraculously vanished! Immediately afterward, a shadow slowly appeared behind Uchiha Madara. Finn emerged from the shadow.

Uchiha Madara reacted with extreme quickness. He suddenly turned his head to look at Finn, his palms forming hand seals instantly. "Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" Still the same ninjutsu! The previous four fire dragons had made Finn seemingly unwilling to resist directly, forcing him to retreat. So Uchiha Madara didn't hesitate to use this jutsu again! Of course, all this was just what he thought. In reality, was Finn truly afraid to resist? Don't joke! Finn simply didn't bother to use such a clumsy method!

Seeing Uchiha Madara attacking him with flames again, Finn's face immediately showed a look of displeasure. What the hell?! Am I giving you too much face?! Burn me once and now you want to do it again? Finn raised his head and glanced at the Fire Phoenix in mid-air. Their eyes met, and the Fire Phoenix immediately understood Finn's unspoken command.

Gyaaah! A clear phoenix cry sounded in the air. The Fire Phoenix swooped down from the sky. Uchiha Madara's flames surged forward again, but the Fire Phoenix intercepted them, stopping directly in front of Finn. The Phoenix's Karmic Flames suddenly erupted, immense waves of fire rushing towards Uchiha Madara like a thousand hectares of ocean water. In front of the Fire Phoenix's fire, Uchiha Madara's four fire dragons were like four tiny fish in the sea, instantly engulfed by the overwhelming flames!

If anyone were to ask, "Can a flame burn another flame?" Most would surely think that person an idiot. How could one flame burn another? When flames meet flames, it would only make the original flame's temperature even higher! But if you witnessed the scene unfolding now, you would definitely change your view. The four fire dragons trembled as they plunged into the Fire Phoenix's Karmic Fire. They were clearly composed of fire elements, but the "faces" of these four fire dragons seemed faintly terrified. In the very next moment, these four fire dragons were reduced to ashes in the overwhelming blaze!

Yes~ The Fire Phoenix's Karmic Fire annihilated Uchiha Madara's fire dragons! In the face of the Phoenix's Karmic Fire, all other flames were simply not allowed to exist! Just like in front of a true king, any mere jester would never be allowed even half the stage! Therefore, the four "little Charmanders," the jumping jesters, were utterly incinerated.

And it wasn't over yet; this was just the beginning! After the overwhelming Phoenix Karmic Fire consumed the four little fire dragons, its speed didn't weaken in the slightest. Instead, it rushed towards Uchiha Madara even faster!

"This is impossible!" Seeing this, Uchiha Madara's face changed! He couldn't believe it—the opponent's flame had actually "burned to death" his own fire dragons! This was outrageous! "Is this the power of a legendary beast...?" Uchiha Madara had naturally heard of the Fire Phoenix. He just never thought its flames would be so terrifying!

Madara's Unexpected Summoning

Watching the Phoenix's flames attack, Uchiha Madara still held a flicker of doubt in his heart. He wasn't arrogant enough to think he could endure the Phoenix's flames. Although he was currently in his Impure World Reincarnation form, he wasn't ignorant of its limitations like others. He knew that if the power of an attack exceeded the tolerance of the Impure World Reincarnation, he could, in fact, still be killed even in this state. Therefore, he wouldn't use his body to foolishly withstand the flames!

"Summoning Technique: Gedo Statue!" Uchiha Madara shouted quickly, slamming his palm onto the ground.

Rumble! The ground exploded! The earth shook violently, and the sky seemed to change color! In the area in front of Uchiha Madara, it was as if someone had planted a bomb in the ground that had suddenly detonated. With a bang, large pieces of earth and rock flew into the sky, and dust and smoke dispersed! Immediately afterward, a behemoth surged out from the ground. This thing looked incredibly strange, like a grotesque, thousand-year-old tree, and resembled a massive octopus with what appeared to be ten eyes on its surface, inspiring a burst of fear!

"Huh?" Finn frowned in surprise. He remembered that in the original manga plot, Uchiha Madara could only summon the Gedo Statue after obtaining the Rinnegan! The current situation was that when Nagato died, his Rinnegan had been destroyed by Finn. Uchiha Madara should naturally not have the Rinnegan. But now, Uchiha Madara had still summoned the Gedo Statue... This was truly a perplexing development! Finn couldn't figure it out.

But it didn't matter. If you can't figure it out, don't dwell on it. "Forget it! Let's see whether my Summoning Beast, the Fire Phoenix, is stronger, or your ugly Gedo Statue is better."
