Uchiha Madara is still old after all! Although he has survived this long because of the Rinnegan, his body's functions have greatly deteriorated, and he is a shadow of his former self.
Therefore, Ye Liang is not particularly afraid of Madara in this weakened state!
"Sage Mode, activate!"
Ye Liang's heart surged with energy!
Snake-like pupils appeared in his eyes, his body turned white, horns grew from his head, and his body became extremely flexible. This is the Sage Mode of Ryūchi Cave!
By gathering natural chakra throughout his body, he strengthens his own ninjutsu and can use techniques that ordinary chakra cannot support!
However, this kind of transformation usually requires time to accumulate energy, so instant transformation is normally impossible. But Ye Liang is different. Ye Liang learned a trick from Naruto in his past life.
A bunch of shadow clones were left in Ryūchi Cave. When he needs to accumulate power, he only needs to cancel one of the shadow clones to gain Sage Mode.
Now he still has three chances!
"Have you even mastered Sage Mode?"
Uchiha Madara glanced at Ye Liang in surprise. When he saw him before, this kid could only use the Body Flicker Technique and Shinra Tensei, but now, after such a long time, he had become so strong.
In fact, Madara had been keeping an eye on Ye Liang because he interrupted his resurrection plan. Madara originally planned to use Ye Liang to replace Uchiha Obito, but when he was about to act, Ye Liang suddenly disappeared!
He disguised himself as the masked man and searched for Ye Liang for a long time, but found no trace of him!
Ye Liang naturally didn't know about this. After activating Sage Mode, he immediately attacked Uchiha Madara.
"Sage Art: White Excitement Technique!"
The huge snake energy rapidly circled around Madara, and the super-large sound waves spread across the battlefield.
"Is it a Snake Sage?"
Uchiha Madara was startled, but with Susanoo's protection, this kind of magic could only immobilize his body temporarily. He attacked Ye Liang again, albeit at a very slow speed.
"It can't be sealed!"
Ye Liang was astonished that his Sage Technique couldn't seal Uchiha Madara.
"It's Uchiha Madara; he's still so powerful even after aging."
Ye Liang got up again, aimed at the super long sword that was attacking him, and greeted it with a Body Flicker. Although the long sword could still move, its slow speed couldn't hit Ye Liang at all!
He stepped on Susanoo's body and quickly approached Uchiha Madara's torso.
"You are very strong! But that was once!" Ye Liang yelled and unleashed Shinra Tensei!
"Boom!"
This time, the power had far surpassed the original Shinra Tensei!
Because of the Sage Art, Ye Liang's current Shinra Tensei is driven by the power of nature's sages, fundamentally different from being driven by chakra.
In simple terms, the power has increased more than ten times!
Ordinary power is enough to threaten a Jonin, let alone power increased ten times!
"Crack!"
A trace of Susanoo's shell cracked, but it did not shatter.
"One time is not enough, then ten times! A hundred times! A thousand times!"
"Sage Art: Shinra Tensei!"
Ye Liang drove again and again. His Shinra Tensei was not a one-time move. As long as he had enough chakra, he could use it to kill Uchiha Madara!
"Boom!"
The huge noise continued, and Uchiha Madara's Susanoo finally cracked. He looked at Ye Liang with determination as the huge Susanoo fell behind him.
"Boy, if I were in my prime, you would have been dead long ago!"
"Hmph! I know, so I will kill you now!"
Ye Liang yelled angrily and raised his palm slightly.
A huge black sphere appeared in his palm!
"Sage Art: Tailed Beast Bomb!"
This was Ye Liang's move to end everything. The Tailed Beast Bomb enhanced by Sage Art completely reached the level of a full blow from a Tailed Beast!
This kind of attack can't be blocked even by a strong shadow-rank ninja, let alone Madara, who is only an aged body and is even more vulnerable!
"Boom!"
The black Tailed Beast Bomb swiftly passed through Madara's body, and even the land under him was hit by the blow, creating a crater about 100 meters wide!
"Phew."
Ye Liang exhaled deeply and returned to his original state.
Although he has become stronger, close to the strength of the Kage level, if it weren't for Uchiha Madara's old age and physical decline, and if Sarutobi and the others hadn't consumed most of his chakra, today's battle might not have been won!
"Boy, you are very strong!"
Uchiha Madara slowly fell to the ground, with a big hole in his chest, clearly unable to survive.
"But boy, today is just the beginning of the plan! From now on, I will see you in a fully integrated state, haha!"
"Let's wait and see!"
Ye Liang watched Uchiha Madara close his eyes and fall to the ground.
It is impossible for Uchiha Madara to die like this. This is a matter of course. A conspirator who has planned for nearly a hundred years cannot die easily when he is completely weak!
Ye Liang believes that one day in the future, Uchiha Madara will definitely return to Konoha Village with full strength, but before that, Ye Liang will inevitably become an invincible powerhouse himself!
At this moment, Ye Liang's mind suddenly roared.
He knew that his reward was coming!
"Congratulations to the host for completing the SSS-level task: 'The Tailed Beast Attacks the Village.'"
"Because the host revealed the true face of the mastermind, additional upgrades are awarded!"
[Reward: S-rank Ninjutsu Creation and Regeneration – The Hundred Healings Technique]
"Because the host has over-completed the task, the Hundred Healings Technique will not consume life energy as a price!"
"The Hundred Healings Technique?"
Ye Liang was immediately delighted when he heard this.
The Hundred Healings Technique is the unique ninjutsu of the Fifth Hokage Tsunade. Once activated, it can quickly heal all damage at the cost of life energy, even if the body is cut in half!
Moreover, what made Ye Liang most delighted was not the healing power of the Hundred Healings Technique, but the function he desired in his past life!
Eternal youth!
That's right, people who have practiced the Hundred Healings Technique will not increase their lifespan, but their appearance can always remain the same as when they first practiced it.
In other words, Ye Liang's current appearance, around twenty years old, will always stay like this!
"Damn! I've finally reached the pinnacle!" Ye Liang rejoiced.
His original worry was that he would live to the later stages of the story and, as the protagonists rose up, he would retire from the stage of history due to aging. But now he doesn't have to worry anymore. With the Hundred Healings Technique, he can fall in love with those famous girls in ten years!
It will definitely be a sweet love!
Haha!
But at this moment, Ye Liang's mind heard another whisper.
"Congratulations to the host for completing all the novice missions!"
"The system is about to enter maintenance and update state, lasting 24 hours. Other functions will be opened in the future, so stay tuned!"
