Chapter 116

Naruto's eyes widened as realization struck him. His left Mangekyō Sharingan spun violently as he formed the necessary hand seals.

"Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!" A monstrous sea of flames erupted from his mouth, surging forward like a tidal wave, incinerating the massive wooden tendrils that rose from the ground to ensnare him.

Boom! The resulting explosion sent Minato's squad flying back, tumbling through the air.

"What the hell?!" Kakashi gasped, barely regaining his footing as he stared in horror. "That was Wood Style! But how?! Who the hell could be using the First Hokage's jutsu?!"

Above them, Naruto's voice cut through the chaos. "If you value your lives, stay out of this!"

A figure emerged from the dense shadows of the forest. His hair, once greyed by time, darkened as the chakra-infused vines connected to his back pumped vitality into him. His old face, lined with the experience of countless battles, bore a cruel smirk. The white wooden pipes embedded into his back hissed as his body completed its transformation.

The crimson glow of the Sharingan burned in his eyes.

"Uchiha Madara!" Naruto's expression hardened as he gazed at the legend standing before him.

Madara arched an eyebrow. "Oh? So, you know of me. Interesting. But unfortunately, your existence interferes with my plans for true peace." His Sharingan gleamed ominously. "So, allow me to erase you."

The vines behind him snapped as he took a step forward, his posture exuding nothing but overwhelming dominance.

"Come, entertain me."

Naruto deadpanned. "This old bastard is really out here roleplaying. The dude's one foot in the grave and still acting like some edgy teenager."

Madara's eye twitched. "What is with that infuriating look?!" he snarled. "Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!"

A towering inferno surged toward Naruto, consuming everything in its path. But the blond stood his ground, forming a single seal.

"Suiton: Suijinheki!"

A massive surge of water erupted from his mouth, crashing against the flames with enough force to shake the battlefield. The impact sent an enormous mist cloud billowing into the sky, visible for miles.

"What the hell is going on over there?" a Rock Shinobi scout whispered as he and his squad observed from a distance.

"Doesn't matter. We're checking it out," his superior ordered.

Amidst the lingering mist, Madara stood atop a gnarled tree vine, peering down at Naruto with the amusement of a predator eyeing its prey. "Not bad for a brat. Do you wish to dance with me as well?"

"..." Naruto sighed, rubbing his temple. "Man, this guy's second-hand embarrassment is contagious."

Madara, already mid-air, lashed out with a vicious punch. Naruto blocked with a forearm, absorbing the impact, but Madara used the momentum to twist, aiming a brutal kick at his head. Naruto caught his ankle and countered, flipping the Uchiha warlord into the ground with a devastating crash.

Madara barely landed before forming hand seals. "Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni!"

A flurry of fireballs shot toward Naruto in unpredictable patterns, each one twisting like a homing missile.

Naruto slammed his hands onto the ground. "Doton: Doryūheki!"

Earthen walls rose like a fortress, intercepting the barrage. The resulting explosions cracked the ground and sent debris flying.

"What the fuck is happening over there?!" one of the Rock Shinobi stammered as they watched the battlefield be reshaped by the overwhelming forces clashing.

The two warriors locked eyes through the haze. A single leaf drifted down between them, signaling their next clash.

In an instant, they lunged.

Naruto unsheathed Hyōrinmaru, his grip tightening around the hilt. "Ittōryū: Shishi Sonson!"

Madara bent backward in a perfect iron bridge, dodging the blade by a hair's breadth before kicking upward. Naruto deflected the strike with his elbow, the sheer force sending out shockwaves.

"Hachimon: Keimon, Kai!"

Naruto's speed skyrocketed as he landed an inverted roundhouse kick, sending Madara crashing through the forest. Without hesitation, he conjured a Rasenshuriken in his palm, wind chakra howling as he hurled it at his airborne opponent.

Boom!

The explosion of wind and chakra sent shockwaves across the battlefield, shaking the very earth.

The watching Rock Shinobi swallowed hard. "There's no way... that guy... he's from Konoha?!"

The dust settled, revealing Madara standing amidst the devastation, his armor cracked but his body unscathed. "Heh... you're amusing." His Sharingan spun violently before shifting.

The three tomoe merged into a rippling pattern.

"Susanoo: Nidan Kai!"

A colossal blue warrior materialized around him, its twin chakra blades slashing at Naruto with monstrous force.

Naruto barely evaded as the ground beneath him shattered under the sheer weight of the attack. He skidded back, eyes narrowing.

"...This bastard is serious."

Madara smirked. "You're strong, but still leagues beneath me. Face it, you will never surpass me." He raised a hand, summoning multiple spiraling orbs of energy. "Yasaka Magatama!"

The deadly projectiles hurtled toward Naruto.

BOOM! The battlefield was engulfed in chaos, smoke, and ruin.

Madara exhaled, arrogance dripping from his voice. "I, Madara, acknowledge your strength. You are the strongest warrior I have faced… under Hashirama."

Silence.

Then, a low chuckle.

A massive purple blade sliced through the smoke, colliding against Susanoo's weapons with a deafening clang.

Madara's eyes widened in genuine shock. "Impossible!"

Emerging from the destruction was Naruto, his own colossal Susanoo towering over the battlefield. But unlike Madara's, his had three heads, six arms, each wielding a jagged chakra weapon.

"Susanoo: Sandan Kai."

Madara's lips curled in excitement. "Are you… Uchiha?"

Naruto cracked his knuckles, stretching his neck. "Round two, old man."

Madara suddenly raised a hand. "Hold. If you truly are Uchiha, then surely you must have seen the stone tablet within the shrine—"

CRACK!

Naruto's blade slammed down, cutting off his words. "I don't give a damn about your ancient conspiracy bullshit. You're just a sore loser who couldn't handle reality."

His Susanoo raised its hand, lightning crackling.

"Raikiri!"

Electricity molded into the shape of a bow. Another arm formed an arrow.

"Indra's Wrath!"

The arrow launched, piercing the heavens.

Madara's eyes bled as his Sharingan twisted into the Rinnegan. "You know nothing of my pain!"

The arrow struck. The battlefield erupted in divine fury.

As the smoke cleared, Naruto smirked.

"I thought so..."
