Ch-223 Jiryoku vs Madara_3.

A moment of silence hung in the air before the Susanoo began to disintegrate along these lines. The once mighty and imposing spectral warrior crumbled into fragments, the sheer destructive power of Jiryoku's technique laid bare. Madara stood there, staring blankly as his Susanoo was completely destroyed. The shock and disbelief were evident on his face; he had never witnessed such speed and precision before.

Madara was stunned by Jiryoku's incredible speed. The swift movements had been so fast that even with his advanced perception, he could barely track Jiryoku's actions, let alone react to them. If he had not been using the Susanoo, he might have been able to dodge the attack, but encased within the massive construct, evasion was impossible.

As the dust settled, Madara's mind raced. He understood that Jiryoku was an opponent unlike any he had faced before. The combination of speed, power, and precision was overwhelming. Madara's eyes flickered with determination. The battle was far from over, and he knew he had to adapt quickly to counter the formidable warrior before him.

Madara turned towards Jiryoku, who had also just turned to face him. "I must say," Madara began, his voice carrying a grudging respect, "you are the fastest person I have ever encountered. Your speed is on a whole different level."

Jiryoku responded with a calm, composed tone, "But you were able to follow my movements, right?"

Madara nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm."

From this collision, Madara understood one crucial thing: Jiryoku was not someone to be trifled with. In fact, Jiryoku's power and skill seemed to rival that of Hashirama, if not surpass it. Realizing that his current form of Susanoo was ineffective, Madara decided to escalate the battle further. He began to summon another form of Susanoo, the 'Armored Susanoo.'

Jiryoku watched this transformation with a serene demeanor, doing nothing to interrupt Madara's preparations. He stood firm, allowing Madara to prepare his best move, fully confident that he, Jiryoku, would crush all of Madara's seemingly invincible techniques with his own.

As Madara constructed his 'Armored Susanoo,' Jiryoku also began to prepare for his next move. He concentrated a massive amount of gravitational energy around him. The gravity was so intense that the ground within a ten-meter radius of Jiryoku sank several feet. Gradually, this concentrated gravity began to channel into Jiryoku's sword, turning the entire blade a deep, ominous black.

Madara's 'Armored Susanoo' stood ready, its towering form even more imposing than the previous humanoid Susanoo, now nearly one and a half times taller. The spectral armor glinted menacingly, its presence a testament to Madara's unmatched chakra control and strength.

Finally, after a tense minute of preparation, both warriors stood ready with their ultimate moves. The air crackled with energy and anticipation. Madara's towering 'Armored Susanoo' glowed with an eerie, potent light, while Jiryoku's sword, now a solid black mass of concentrated gravity, seemed to hum with barely contained power.

The stage was set for an epic clash. Madara's eyes locked onto Jiryoku's, both understanding that the next moments would decide the outcome of this fierce battle.

"What kind of moves are they both preparing?" "These moves seem to be very destructive." Voices like these reverberated throughout the battlefield, a mixture of awe and fear evident among the onlookers.

"Everyone calm down. And move even further from the battle area of both of them," ordered Gaara. His voice carried authority and concern, understanding the sheer scale of the impending clash. Following Gaara's command, the ninjas hastily increased the distance between themselves and Jiryoku, recognizing the imminent danger.

"Now Madara Uchiha is starting to get serious," said Onoki, his expression solemn. The veteran ninja's eyes were fixed on the battlefield, aware of the gravity of the situation. He had seen countless battles, but this one felt different, more intense.

Jiryoku raised his sword parallel to the ground, holding it steady for a moment. With a determined expression, he then swung it vertically downward, channeling all his strength into his most powerful sword technique, 'Dimension Slash'. As he executed the move, a flash of black light illuminated the area, and in that brief instant, everything in the sword's path was cleaved in two with remarkable precision.

Madara, who was encased in his formidable Susanoo armor, was sliced in half before he even had a chance to react. The sheer force and speed of the attack left him completely defenseless. The Susanoo, which had provided him with so much protection, began to split apart vertically. Gradually, the mighty armor disintegrated until it was destroyed completely, leaving Madara exposed.

In the aftermath of the attack, Madara must be feeling an overwhelming sense of relief for having been resurrected through 'Edo Tensei'. If this had been his real body, he would have surely met his demise at that very moment. His plan, which he had meticulously crafted, would have been thwarted, leaving him with no way to continue. Thanks to 'Edo Tensei', however, he has been given another chance to pursue his ambitions.
