195 Ghost of the Uchiha, Tengu Susano

The imperial aura condensed into a massive force, crashing heavily against the blue skeleton.

A deafening roar echoed.

Under the immense impact, the colossal Susanoo was sent flying once again. Uchiha Madara's feet dug into the ground, carving deep trenches as he slid back for dozens of meters before finally regaining his footing.

His expression darkened as he felt the terrifying power behind the attack.

The area struck by Simu was in ruins—Susanoo's front ribs were completely shattered.

Madara had known that Simu's transformed state was powerful, but this level of strength exceeded his expectations.

"You actually managed to break my Susanoo…"

He lifted his chin, his aged face still carrying an air of defiance.

Simu, in his dragon-man form, locked his golden pupils onto Madara.

"If this is all you've got, I might as well send you straight to meet the First Hokage."

His disdainful expression instantly ignited Madara's anger.

He was a man who once stood side by side with the God of Shinobi, to be provoked by a mere junior was something he could not tolerate.

"Boy, you've got guts. If that's the case… let's dance!"

Massive waves of blue Chakra erupted from Uchiha Madara as his fighting spirit surged.

The skeletal Susanoo around him began to transform.

The blue Chakra expanded, forming Susanoo's upper body.

Four powerful arms and a fearsome head emerged from the structure, two sharp spikes jutting out from its chin.

Simu's lips curled into a grin. Holding his Kanabo, he let out a booming laugh.

"Now this is the Uchiha Madara that gets my blood pumping!"

Raising his massive arm, golden light engulfed it entirely.

"Sage Art: Yasakani no Magatama!"

Simu's thick arm fragmented into countless golden light orbs, hurtling toward Madara like a storm.

But Madara remained unfazed.

A blue sword materialized in each of Susanoo's four hands.

With his Three Tomoe Sharingan, he locked onto every incoming light orb that posed a threat.

Then, with an inhuman flurry of slashes, the four arms of the blue titan moved at a speed beyond ordinary perception.

Each golden orb was sliced apart mid-air, dispersing into a cascade of fading light.

Simu wasn't surprised.

If Uchiha Madara couldn't even block that, he would have been disappointed.

With a powerful stomp, the ground beneath him cracked and shattered.

His massive frame twisted, vanishing for a brief moment before reappearing right in front of the blue titan.

At this stage, Susanoo wasn't very agile.

That's why Simu didn't even bother using his Light-Light Fruit ability—his sheer speed alone was enough.

With a mighty swing, he brought his Kanabo crashing down toward the blue titan.

Madara met the attack head-on.

If they were going to fight, then let their creations battle too!

A powerful gust of Chakra surged around him, lifting his long white hair into the air.

At the same time, Susanoo's four sword slashed downward, colliding with Simu's Kanabo.

"BOOM!"

The impact of the two titanic forces shook the battlefield.

The ground beneath them crumbled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

The land itself seemed to cry out in agony from the clash.

Simu only laughed, his eyes burning with a crimson glow.

"Yes! That's it! That's the fight I wanted!"

Something deep within Simu's veins stirred, quietly awakening.

He was completely immersed in the battle now.

No tricks. No strategy.

Just raw power.

With a fierce grin, he tightened his grip on his weapon and charged at Uchiha Madara once more.

Madara, just as exhilarated, responded in kind.

His Susanoo clashed against Simu again and again, their blows shaking the battlefield.

In the distance, Kakashi and the others watched in stunned silence.

The ground was shattered, dust and debris filled the air—this wasn't just a fight.

It was destruction.

"So this... is a battle between the truly strong," Minato murmured, his voice tinged with awe.

"Even if the Kage of all nations fought, it wouldn't be this terrifying..."

Especially considering, aside from the Third Raikage, Simu might be the only one capable of standing toe-to-toe with Susanoo.

Madara's laughter echoed through the chaos.

"Yes! Keep going! Let's dance!"

Since the battle at the Valley of the End, Uchiha Madara hadn't felt such a thrilling fight.

Simu grinned, unfazed, as Madara's lightsaber slashed into his shoulder.

Instead of retreating, he reached out with his clawed hand and grabbed the blade.

His steel-like muscles tensed, surging with terrifying power.

The sheer force threw Susanoo off balance, shifting its stance ever so slightly.

Madara's eyes narrowed.

Not good.

At that moment, Simu's weapon was already descending.

"Hakoku!"

A dark red Conqueror's Haki surged forward, crackling with ferocious red lightning as it swallowed Madara whole!

The attack ripped through the earth, carving a devastating path through everything in its way.

Trees, mountains, nothing could stand against it.

The raging thunder pillar slammed into a distant mountain, carrying Madara with it.

Like a colossal brontosaurus, it tore through the rock, leaving behind a gaping hole in the mountain range.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky.

Simu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Even with Armament Haki, his shoulder had been pierced.

A faint burning smell lingered in the air.

But with his physique, this kind of injury was barely an inconvenience—just a slight hindrance to movement.

From the gaping wound, granulation tissue rapidly sprouted, closing the injury in moments.

"Is it over?"

Obito, his Sharingan spinning, stared at the battlefield, eager for the result.

Minato, ever the seasoned warrior, slowly shook his head.

"Not yet."

Sure enough, a faint blue flame flickered within the thick smoke.

A legendary ninja like Madara wouldn't go down so easily.

As the dust settled, Susanoo had changed again.

A layer of solid Tengu armor covered the once titanic form, making it even more massive.

But in the center of the armor, a large gap remained.

Beneath it, dark blue ribs jutted out, exposed.

This was the exact spot where Simu had struck him head-on.

A mere second before the impact, Uchiha Madara had forced Susanoo to evolve from the second stage straight to the fourth stage.

His Susanoo was unique two-headed, one facing forward, the other backward.

Under Simu's intense gaze, the gray-haired warlord suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Cough... cough..."

His body trembled as he covered his mouth, coughing violently.

With each cough, fresh blood splattered onto his pale hair, creating a stark and eerie sight.

Simu didn't move.

He simply stood there, waiting.

At this moment, Madara was ancient, his lifespan nearly exhausted.

The intense battle with Simu had pushed his body to its absolute limit, teetering on the edge of collapse.

Ten seconds passed.

Madara finally stopped coughing.

He wiped the blood from his hands without a second thought, then lifted his gaze to Simu, a wild grin stretching across his face.

"Come! Keep going!"

Simu grinned back, nodding firmly.

"Good."

Facing such a formidable foe, every fiber of Simu's being burned with excitement.

If death was inevitable, then he would ensure this warrior's final battle was nothing short of legendary.

With a thunderous stomp, the ground beneath Simu shattered.

His massive body launched into the air, dark red lightning crackling around his mighty kanabo.

He twisted in midair.

Then, with a sonic boom, he kicked off the air itself, hurtling down like a falling meteor, aiming straight for the titan of blue armor below.

"Sage Art: Three Realms—Yin Naraku!"

A powerful gust swept through, lifting Uchiha Madara's scarlet-white hair.

With a hint of regret in his eyes, he muttered:

"To face such a strong opponent… what a shame I can't do so at my peak."

But there was no time for regret.

The Susanoo, clad in Tengu armor, surged forward, its power reaching its limit.

Four sword ignited, their energy crackling violently.

Then, with a single devastating motion, they shattered.

Now wielding only one blade, Madara swung with all his might, clashing head-on with the falling mace army.

BOOM!

Dark red lightning filled the sky, swallowing everything in its wake.

The moment Simu's attack collided with the blue titan below, an unimaginable force erupted.

The ground beneath them let out a final wail, then fractured, crumbling into dust.

Madara lifted his gaze, eyes locked onto Simu descending from above.

A feral grin twisted his aged face.

"COME! SHOW ME YOUR TRUE STRENGTH!"

Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but he roared defiantly, pouring every last drop of chakra into Susanoo.

Simu bared his teeth in return, his entire being consumed by power.

Conqueror's Haki erupted, merging with his might, turning into a storm of dark red lightning.

And then

He fell.

A bolt of divine fury, crashing down upon the dying titan.

BOOOOM!

The ground shattered completely.

The shockwave from the clash overturned the land, uprooting trees and even flattening mountains in its path.

Kakashi and the others were thrown backward, struggling to maintain their footing.

Simu and Uchiha Madara's battle had created an immense crater, and from the destruction, a vast lake had appeared out of nowhere.

In the center of the pit, Simu stood, back in his human form, while the titanic remnants of Uchiha Madara's Susanoo lay in ruins around him.

Fragments of the Tengu armor were scattered across the ground, and the blue chakra flame had vanished.

Uchiha Madara, drenched in blood, leaned on his flame fan, barely holding himself up.

He gazed at Simu, his voice hoarse but clear:

"Hanyu Simu, I, Uchiha Madara, recognize your strength!"

With those final words, he closed his eyes.

The legendary warrior, Uchiha Madara, never bowed to anyone, he remained a king until the very end.
