Chapter 210: Battle of Uzu (IV)

"Oh? Mito? I didn't expect you to still be alive." Madara said with a smirk as he looked down on the Jinchuriki.

"Well, I couldn't peacefully go to my grave without knowing that you were burning deep in hell. Here, allow me to give you a preview!!" Mito said as she drew a Kanji in the air, with it turing into a massive inferno of flames that headed at Madara.

Madara responded by performing multiple handsigns before sending his own blast of flame from his mouth, with the two powerful attacks equalling each other and melting the ice beneath them due to the sheer heat that they produced and making steam rise.

However, Madara was unable to do anything as Mito appeared directly in front of him from the steam, with her delievering a powerful punch through the use of her Chakra Enhanced Strength.

The blow knocked Madara back, with him back flipping to regain his footing, yet he immediately was forced to dodge again as tens of chain attempted to impale him, with him dodging each as if he was flowing through a small challenge.

"Is this all you can amount to, Mito? If so, then Hashirama would be disappointed." Madara spoke as he blocked another two chains with his Gunbai.

But, he suddenly found two chains come from under the ice and snake around his ankles, with Mito appearing before him while holding a dense dark orb in her hand, her expression one of anger.

"Do not speal my husbands name. You sully it just my letting it roll off your tounge." Mito said as she slammed the ball into Madara's hands.

While it initaially seemed to be about to explode, the attack suddenly stopped as it vanished, with Madara looking at her with an amused grin.

"Such volatile Chakra. Looks like you've become friends with my pet. But it's a bit to weak to deal with someone on my level." Madara said as his arm suddenly transform like a machine, with it firing multiple rockets at Mito.

Mito dodged the majority of them, with her simply redirecting the rest to another direction using her chains.

But, she was suddenly redirected towards Madara, with him delivered an earth shattering kick to her mid section that created a shockwave as she was knocked away.

Mito was able to recover quickly, yet she was forced to dodge a spike of ice that erupted from the ground, with her still being wounded by it.

"I see an old mutt can still learn new tricks." Mito said as the mark on her forehead spread all over her body, with it rapidly healing her body while she began drawing Kanji.

"Fuin: Heightened Body!!"

The Seals Mito wrote engraved into her body, with them changing the very nature of her body to become nearly ten times denser, yet her speed didn't decrease in the slightest.

That was what made Fuinjutsu so terrifying, as it could alter the very rules that formulated reality, and by doing so, make what should seemingly be impossible become easily done.

Mito burst off again, yet this time, the sheer behind her movement nearly broke ice beneath her, with the shockwave she generated showing just how much she had just increased her already monstrous strength.

Madara seemed to realize this as well, with him choosing to create a large rib cage from his Susanoo to protect him, while at the same time, sending a masisve dragon made of fire at her.

Mito paid the dragon no attention as she literally went through it, with her arriving at Madara and delivering a powerful kick that destroyed the rib cage fully and headed towards Madara.

"Almighty Push." Madara said blankly after dodging the blow, with the gravity itself blasting Mito back at speeds similar to those she had used to come at him, with it creating a massive explosion when she hit the ground.

But, just as Madara took a single step, Kanji illuminated on the ground, with Madara's eyes widened as he attempted to absorb the the energy from the attack yet was unable to.

The attack created a massive pillar of light that was intented to disintergrate everything inside of it, with Mito standing again while rapidly regenerating thanks to the Yin Seal, with her then drawing more Seals as she knew Madara would likely not be finished off so easily.

At that moment, a massive figure could be seen flying from the smoke, his eyes staring deeply at Mito.

"I didn't know you could use Senjutsu Chakra. Or were you just using raw Nature Energy?" Madara asked as a blade from the construct appeared in one hand while one made from ice appeared in the other.

"Raw Nature Energy works very well as a conduit for Seals. And seeing that you are unable to absorb it like you did that Jutsu, it means that should be my proper way of attack." Mito said, with her finishing her seals while the Chakra around her suddenly began to grow.

Then, in a single moment, she suddenly gained a Chakra Construct that looked similar to the Nine Tailed Fox, with her Seal going to different parts of the Fox's body.

"Fuin: Heavenly Nine Tailed Fox!!" Mito said as she stared straight at Madara, with both her and Kurama resolute in taking him down.

"You may be a but of a challenge in this form, Mito." Madara said with a crazed smile appearing on his face as his giant warrior moved nearly instant above the fox, with Kurama blocking both blades.

"Entertain me, Mito!!! Allow me to have a dance that I only had with the likes of Hashirama!!" Madara yelled as his giant warrior attempted to bissect Kurama, but the Kanji on his chest shined and blocked the attack, with it sending the power of the blow back towards Madara.

That was the first of the five Seals that the Heavenly State gave Kurama, as all forms of physical damage up to a certain degree would simply be destroyed.

Kurama then delivered a powerful punch to the face of Madara's warrior, with him following it up with him blasting a Tailed Beast Bomb Wave at Madara, though the madman simply cut through it with the ice blade.

He then added flames to his regular blade, with the flaming blade and ice blades forming a powerful duo of heat and cold that attacked Kurama.

At that moment, the second and third Seals activated, with one serving to absorb any of the five Elemental Chakra Natures while the other turned it back into regular Chakra and absorbed it.

Mito then used the absorbed Chakra to fuel her Kanji as she made two massive Kanji, one representing Fire while the other stood for Wind, with both blasting towards Madara.

The two attacks then transformed into their respective elements, with both going towards Madara as a raging inferno that threatened to reduce him to ash.

Madara looked at the attack and sneered, with him stabbing the Ice Blade into the ground, forcing massive spikes of ice to rise and head towards the attack, with Madara jumping into the air before flying towards Mito with his flaming blade.

However, Mito seemed to be waiting for this, as she and Kurama sent a punch towards Madara's head, yet the blow was different.

With Kurama knowing the principle behind the Chakra Enhanced Strength, he had the ability to push a vast majority of his Chakra to a singular point, the same way that Mito did.

And the result was a punch so powerful that it destroyed the upped part of Madara's Susanoo.

Kurama then unleashed another Tailed Beast Bomb Wave, with Mito also drawing another few Kanji to add to the damage.

The aftermath of the attacks has the ice they were fighting on nearly destroyed while Mito looked at the ashed, hoping that Madara had been throughly taking down, though she didn't let her guard down in the slightest.

"I believe I've had quite enough." Madara voice sounded from inside of the smoke.

In a moment that stunned Mito, Madara not only emerged from the ruins of the attack, but he now had part of his upped body showing, with it revealing the face of Hashirama Senju resting on his chest.

["MADARA"]!!!!!

Mito's demonic voice sounded as she realized what Madara had done, her anger so palpable that she literally cracked the ice around her due to the pressure of her voice.

"HOW DARE YOU!!!" Mito yelled as he figure blurred towards Madara, the Chakra on her becoming far denser as she appeared before Madara.

But, vines and trees erupted from the ground as they bound her and drained both her and Kurama's Chakra, with Madara then stabbing directly towards her heart, with Mito barely able to twist her body to avoid the fatal wound, yet she still took great damage.

"You know, Hashirama possessed a few cheap tricks, but the greatest of those would have to be the art known as Senjutsu. And lucky for me, when you have his cells, it becomes far easier to enter that state." Madara said as Mito's eyes widened, with the face on Madara's chest suddenly gaining the marks that Mito had only seen on her Husband and Granddaughter, the sign of Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode.

Madara then grabbed Mito by the throat, but before he could make another movement, he jumped back as a water blade hit his prior location, with Tobirama appearing while staring at Madara with a cold expression.

Madara seemed to pay Tobirama little attention, as when he attempted a Water Dragon Jutsu, Madara merely froze it before sending it back in the opposite direction.

Mito send hundreds of chains from her back, with them forming an intricate barrier around them as Mito's cold and hollow eyes stared at Madara.

Mito slowly performed multiple hand signs, with her Summoning the creature that had been synonimous with the Uzumaki Clan for hundreds of years, with the price for summoning it being either a large amount of Chakra, something only the Uzumaki possessed, or their Soul for those who couldn't provide it.

"Summoning Jutsu: Shinigami Summoning!!!"

A ghastly figure appeared behind Mito, with it then floating towards Madara and attempting to grasp his soul.

Madara utilized the Soul Manipulation granted by the Rinnegan to counteract the Shiningami's soul snatching abilities, though the otherwordly entity showcased its prowess as it floated directly above Madara, intending to take the mortal's head.

Madara simply smirked as he summoned his own entity.

Black Flames appeared on the ground as an entity that was similar to the Shinigami appeared, with that being the King of Hell.

The two beings that specialized in Souls then battled against one another, with Madara then bursting towards Mito with such speed in his new Sage Mode that even she could barely react.

Madara's punch to her chest caved in her ribs, with Mito coughing up blood as Madara continued with a roundhouse kick to her skull.

Tobirama attempted to utilize his Flying Thunder God Slash, yet he found himself lifted into the air as Madara held him by the throat.

"You should have stayed dead. At least now, I can make sure that you're truly dead." Madara stated as he crushed the wind pipe of Tobirama before throwing him aside.

"I'll deal with you permanently once I finish off Mito." Madara said as he walked towards the downed Uzumaki.

Madara then created a massive wooden warrior, with the outside of the warrior being covered with his Susanoo armor, though this time the Warrior possessed four arms rather than two.

"Do you have any last words, Mito? You were a decent opponent, but I was a fool to think we could properly dance together. Even Hashirama isn't on my level anymore. I have become the sucessor to the Sage of The Six Paths!!" Madara exclaimed.

He then lifted one of the blades into the air, ready to cripple the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails so that he could proceed with his plan.

Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kenta sat together in their tent, with them talking fondly about the battle they had just had while the charred body of the Raikage sat in a corner, with him barely being left alive thanks to Kenta limiting his attack so that they could have a prisoner.

"And then I said 'Crimson Moon', and it totally decimated him. Honestly, how many techniques like that do you have Tsuna?" Kenta asked with a slight smile.

"Well I-"

Tsunade's voice stopped as she felt something that had not been activated in nearly two decades.

The Seal that Mito placed upon her shoulder. 

She never did remove it as she wanted to keep it a memento of her first major loss in this world, with the Seal also letting her Grandmother know if anything was wrong with her.

But, if she was fine, then that only meant one thing.

Mito was in trouble.

Tsunade's Chakra responded within the millisecond, with her teleporting thanks to the Flying Thunder God Seal she had on Tobirama from their training.

It was their that she saw A Wooden Golem covered with a Susanoo swinging a blade toward Mito while Tobirama lay on the ground, him finally showing his age as he gasped for air to be able to breathe.

All Hell was about to break loose.
