At that moment, an unexpected scene unfolded before Uchiha Madara's eyes!
From the instant Uchiha Yuma summoned a weapon seemingly made entirely of Chakra, Madara sensed something was amiss. He immediately recognized its shape—even though it had been shrunk down.
It was the Ten-Grip Sword, also known as the Ten-Fist Sword, one of the legendary Kusanagi swords of the ninja world.
He had long sought this spiritual weapon, fully aware of its terrifying ability—the power to seal anything it struck.
Yet, what was happening now defied all logic!
Before his very eyes, the Ten-Grip Sword was transforming into wind under Yuma's control.
A scarlet wind, swirling ominously, carried the sealing power embedded within it. With his Sharingan's keen insight, Madara could see the dust in the air, the earth beneath Nine Tails' feet—everything touched by this wind was being drawn into its crimson tempest.
He couldn't comprehend it.
How could a physical weapon like the Ten-Grip Sword undergo such a radical transformation? The ability to shift forms wasn't something the Kusanagi sword should possess!
However, Madara had no time to dwell on such mysteries.
The sealing wind, infused with the power of Sage Jutsu Chakra, surged toward him at an unimaginable speed!
"Damn brat! Don't think I have no means to counter you!" Madara's eyes gleamed dangerously as the intricate patterns in his Rinnegan spun violently, releasing an overwhelming surge of pupil power.
—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, blue Chakra materialized around him. Under his command, it surged forward like a great torrent, enveloping Nine Tails in a protective shell.
With crackling energy, the Chakra condensed into a colossal suit of armor, fitting snugly over the beast.
Uchiha Madara's signature technique had manifested once more—Power Suit: Susanoo Beast Form!
His strategy was straightforward. Since Yuma had turned the Ten-Grip Sword into an overwhelming, sealing wind, Madara would counter with Susanoo, shielding both himself and Nine Tails within its formidable armor.
From his vast battle experience, Madara knew that sealing techniques had to break through layers of protection before reaching their target. If the wind needed to first seal his Susanoo, he could simply restore its form as fast as it was destroyed.
To Madara, Susanoo wasn't just a unique technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan—it was the manifestation of Yin Chakra.
And when it came to Yin Chakra reserves, he was second to none.
After all, he had fought Hashirama for days on end—his Chakra reserves were not to be underestimated!
"Boy, don't think you can win just because you have a troublesome spiritual weapon! I'll show you the true power of Uchiha's defenses—"
Madara's taunting words were abruptly cut off.
The moment the sealing wind collided with his Susanoo…
—BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Madara's Susanoo shattered instantly, sealing energy flooding through the gaps before he could reinforce it.
He tried pouring Chakra into it to restore its form—but the wind, ever-fluid, seeped through every opening, bypassing his defenses!
Worse still, to ensure maximum spread, Yuma had infused the wind with Wind Release Sage Jutsu.
The moment a hole appeared in Madara's armor, the wind surged forward, engulfing Nine Tails in an instant. The massive beast disintegrated into pure Chakra, sucked into the gourd-shaped hilt of Yuma's sword.
Forced to act fast, Madara spread Susanoo's wings, soaring high into the sky, beyond the reach of the sealing wind.
Gritting his teeth, he muttered in disbelief, "The transformation speed of the Ten-Grip Sword is too fast… My Susanoo didn't have time to regenerate."
He had never expected to witness Nine Tails being sealed right before his eyes.
But… he was not finished yet.
Despite everything, his eyes remained as potent as ever. Though he had not fully awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his mastery of Chakra had allowed him to refine his Mangekyō to near-Eternal levels.
Now, in the sky, a towering blue titan over 200 meters high loomed over the battlefield—a testament to his unwavering power.
As long as this form remained intact, combined with his superior pupil techniques, Madara was confident he would not be defeated.
Below, Uchiha Yuma calmly observed Madara's struggling form within his massive Susanoo.
"I never thought I'd see a Complete Body Susanoo and find it… unimpressive."
He gazed at the blue behemoth with cold indifference.
To him, Susanoo had always been an overrated technique.
Its massive size made it cumbersome, its defenses spread too thin. Most importantly, after awakening Wave God, Yuma had come to realize that Susanoo, being a Chakra-based construct, was completely unnecessary.
The time had come to end this battle.
With Nine Tails secured, there was no longer any reason to let Uchiha Madara live.
More than that, defeating Madara, a legendary warrior of the ninja world, would grant him immense battle experience.
Having made his decision, Yuma's eyes ignited with power. Raising his free left hand, he materialized another weapon.
—A low hum filled the air.
Under the shaping force of Wave God, a Chakra-forged sword resembling a Han blade took form.
Unlike the Ten-Grip Sword, this weapon bore no inherent inscriptions. Instead, Yuma channeled his Ame Murasaki eye power into it.
A white-gold radiance flooded the blade, shifting its scarlet hue into a magnificent red-gold glow.
The divine weapon had taken shape.
[Wave God: Ame-Kurosakumo Sword]
—Construction complete.
