Chapter 66: Uchiha Madara Vs. The Allied Ninja Forces!

At this moment,

There stood only one man—Uchiha Madara.

Alone.

Facing the 100,000-strong Allied Ninja Forces.

He stood calmly, several hundred meters away, yet the pressure he exuded was like a silent storm sweeping across the battlefield.

Like a blade of wind slicing through the silence—his mere presence made every heart tremble.

A pressure so heavy, it seemed to wrap around the lungs of the coalition forces.

Even the bravest among them could feel their knees buckle.

"The Legendary Shinobi… Uchiha Madara…"

Someone whispered.

As Madara walked forward in his iconic crimson armor, tension gripped the entire battlefield.

Countless ninjas swallowed hard. Their breaths stuck in their throats.

Because everyone knew—

To stop this war, they had to defeat not one… but two Uchiha Madaras.

But now, only one had stepped forward.

And yet… the war already felt lost.

Even before the first blow was struck.

The oppressive bloodlust pouring from Madara's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan sent chills down every spine.

Many began to tremble.

Some even clasped their hands together in silent prayer.

"Madara…"

Ōnoki's face paled. He looked at the red-armored shinobi advancing slowly.

"You're really still alive…?"

The past resurfaced in his mind—battles that had nearly broken him, memories of fear and helplessness.

Terumi Mei, standing nearby, let out a breath.

"…This aura… it's unbelievable."

Gaara murmured in awe,

"Is this… the power of a legend?"

"Hmph." Raikage Ai clenched his fists.

"Do you think you alone can defeat our 100,000-strong alliance? It'll be just like before—we'll crush you!"

However—

Madara's expression changed at the mention of his brother.

"…Izuna?"

With a sudden surge of emotion, his eyes exploded with terrifying chakra.

A pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan glowed ominously.

And then—

ROAR—!

A half-formed Susanoo erupted into existence.

Under the cascading chakra and raw eye power,

it grew.

And grew.

Until—

A fully formed Susanoo stood on the battlefield.

Over two hundred meters tall.

A giant, clad in blue energy armor, its fierce gaze piercing the heavens.

The battlefield fell silent.

Shocked silence.

Every ninja stared up at the colossal figure, unable to believe their eyes.

"…It's real."

"It's really that big."

"This… is Madara's Susanoo?"

Mouths fell open.

Hearts sank.

Even the veterans of war, even those who had faced Tailed Beasts before,

felt despair.

"Nii-san…"

Uchiha Izuna, eyes still bleeding from earlier, looked on in awe.

Even he had never seen Madara's Complete Body Susanoo.

On the sidelines, Gaara frowned.

"That earlier 'Madara'… was completely different."

Terumi Mei nodded.

"This one is the real monster."

Ōnoki's hands trembled.

It felt like the days of his youth—when he had watched the Founding Madara split the sky with a single glance.

It was hopeless.

Madara was too powerful.

Even the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki—already in partial transformations—felt it.

"I… I can't believe this," whispered the Two-Tails' Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii.

She, who had always held pride in her strength, could only stare in disbelief.

Raikage Ai gritted his teeth.

"…Unbelievable…"

Standing on the sidelines, Leo narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.

"Looks like… the real game begins now."

Then—

Inside the crystal-like head of Susanoo, Madara placed a hand on the hilt of its massive blade.

One movement.

The wind stilled.

The battlefield froze.

Everyone knew what was coming.

"Not good!"

Ōnoki's voice cracked.

"All tailed beast Jinchūriki, attack now!"

Rumors had circulated before.

That Uchiha Madara had once split Konoha in half with a single swing.

That if he slashed now… it would be the end.

"Condense the Tailed Beast Bombs—now!!" Gaara ordered.

Immediately, all eight Jinchūriki—ranging from One Tail to Eight Tails—formed spheres of chakra in their mouths.

Power surged.

Then—

"Disappear."

Madara's voice was cold and calm.

With that word, he swung the blade.

A sword light that could split the heavens was released!

A deafening rumble followed—

Boom!!

The sword light surged forward, cleaving through the earth.

A massive trench tore through the battlefield as the shockwave followed.

The eight Tailed Beast Bombs shot forward to intercept—

But—

CLANG!!!

In a blinding flash, all eight Tailed Beast Bombs were sliced in half.

In one swing.

Then—

The sword light continued forward, annihilating the front ranks of the Allied Shinobi Forces!

"AHHHHH!!"

Screams erupted as hundreds, if not thousands, of ninjas were vaporized instantly.

Those near the impact zone were hurled into the air, blood spraying from their mouths.

Even the Kage were not spared—blown backward and coughing blood.

The ground cracked and shattered.

Dust clouds rose.

Cries of agony echoed.

And in the wake—

A gorge.

A massive, unnatural ravine cleaved into the earth by one man.

"…Sister…"

Senju Nawaki, barely recovered, clutched Tsunade's hand.

"…This… this was the opponent our grandfather fought?"

Tsunade's lips trembled.

Even though she had seen this technique before—

The power still left her shaken.

A swing that ignored the rules of ninjutsu.

A force that broke logic.

Even the combined strength of eight Jinchūriki was nothing.

This was…

Complete Body Susanoo.

A power that surpassed the tailed beasts.

A calamity given form.

…

Madara's voice echoed from within the Susanoo:

"Well?"

"Is this the strength of your alliance?"

"So… can you still dance?"

At that moment—

The eight Jinchūriki lay scattered across the battlefield, struggling to rise.

Bloodied and bruised.

The Four Kage and other top commanders—Raikage, Gaara, Ōnoki, Terumi Mei—

They all stared in despair at the colossal figure before them.

Over two hundred meters tall.

Unshaken.

Unmatched.

Unstoppable.

Uchiha Madara had arrived.

And the world would never be the same again.
