The Tables Have Turned

"This dazzling light… Could it be that it was the Second Hokage from another world's doing?"

"It seems so, but this light is brighter than before, as if it suddenly turned into daylight."

The Allied Shinobi Forces were also shocked by the power that turned the night into day.

"Is it him again? This time, we're truly outmatched." Tobirama, who was immobilized by Madara's Black Receiver, also noticed this extraordinary power.

He couldn't help but recall when he first met Nagasawa. Nagasawa did say that he was very strong, and at that time, Tobirama didn't believe it. However, it was clear now that the differences between them was significant, and this person's power even surpassed that of his older brother.

Currently, Nagasawa was locked in a fierce battle with Madara while Tobirama was confined by Madara. The only thing he could do was rescue Sasuke.

"How about this? Still bored?" Nagasawa slowly floated, surrounded by numerous golden flames like fervent followers. At this moment, he was like the noblest sun.

"You seem speechless." Nagasawa looked at Madara, who was swiftly evading the golden flames, and taunted him.

This mode could only be activated once in a lifetime; it would be a waste not to use it at all. Madara had been on the offensive for quite some time; it was time for a change.

Madara was standing on the ground and looking up at him with furrowed brows. No one had ever dared to treat him like this. He was the one who looked down on others from the Susanoo, not the other way around.

"You've done it now!" Madara said coldly.

He could sense that Nagasawa's life force was constantly diminishing through his Rinnegan. That meant Nagasawa had used some kind of highly detrimental Forbidden Technique. Madara didn't need to defeat Nagasawa; he just needed to stall him. Once the Forbidden Technique expired, Nagasawa would naturally die.

Or at least that was what he planned to do, but now he had changed his mind. He wanted to defeat Nagasawa when he was at his strongest, making Nagasawa feel despair.

He was Madara Uchiha!

Madara waved his hand, and two Truth-Seeking Balls sped toward Nagasawa, expanding in size on their way.

Watching the approaching Truth-Seeking Balls, Nagasawa remained composed. He gripped his sword, which was completely covered in golden flames, and swung it, producing two massive golden flame slashes.

Under normal circumstances, such a slash would have been a technique would be named with a cool name. But in the Supernova Mode, that was just an ordinary slash.

Boom!

The collision between the Truth-Seeking Balls and the Flame Slash created a violent explosion. The majority of land was destroyed, and explosion covered all directions.

At this moment, a Black Receiver was aiming Nagasawa from behind.

"Lord Second, be careful!" The keen Kakashi noticed that Madara had somehow circled behind Nagasawa.

However, Nagasawa had been paying attention to Madara's position all along, and when Madara sneaked up, he had already noticed.

Against most opponents, the Truth-Seeking Balls might be extremely fast, and the power might be terrifying. However, if the opponent was about as strong, attacking with Truth-Seeking Balls would be less effective.

Unless the opponent was immobilized in place, Truth-Seeking Balls would never hit.

So Nagasawa speculated that the Truth-Seeking Balls were just a feint, not Madara's real attack.

Ding!

Nagasawa, who was already prepared, quickly used his sword to block Madara's Six Paths Staff.

The golden flames on the sword suddenly spread to the Six Paths Staff and then toward Madara.

Two Truth-Seeking Balls behind Madara quickly moved in front of him and transformed into a black shield to block the golden flames.

"Go!" Nagasawa controlled all the golden flames around him to swarm Madara.

The overwhelming golden flames were ready to swallow him whole, but Madara didn't show a trace of fear; instead, he smiled.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The two Truth-Seeking Balls Madara previously threw at Nagasawa were rushing back at Madara, getting closer and closer to Nagasawa.

If Nagasawa didn't react soon, these two Truth-Seeking Balls would hit Nagasawa for sure.

However, if Nagasawa let up his attack, Madara would seize that opportunity to attack again. All Madara needed to do was time it right and use all the Truth-Seeking Balls to create a barrier to protect himself when the golden flames got close to him.

It was a gamble.

If the Truth-Seeking Balls arrived first, Madara would win, but if the golden flames arrived first, Nagasawa would win.

However, Madara had underestimated Nagasawa's power in his Supernova Mode.

Nagasawa's immense power pushed Madara back over ten meters and then he swiftly jumped, evading the approaching Truth-Seeking Balls.

"Six Blazing Formation!" Nagasawa came up with a random name and threw six small sticks composed of golden flames in six different directions.

Just by the name, you could tell it was an imitation of some Ninjutsu, but that didn't really matter as long as it was practical.

The six golden sticks was inserted into the ground, instantly forming six curtains of flames that trapped everything inside.

Nagasawa's next technique was too powerful. If he didn't set up a barrier, his attack could potentially wipe out the entire Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Flame of Heaven!" Nagasawa raised his sword high, and a massive golden flame rose around him. Golden flame constantly gathered around the sword and then continuously compressed.

That process kept repeating, forming a small ball composed of golden flames at the tip of the sword.

"Oh no!" When Nagasawa was using the Barrier Technique, Madara suddenly felt something was amiss. He quickly used Truth-Seeking Balls to attack the curtain of flames.

But if the curtain of flames could be easily broken, Nagasawa wouldn't have wasted time on that.

Boom!

A massive explosion occurred as the Truth-Seeking Balls attacked the curtain of flame. A massive chunk of land disappeared under the overwhelming force of Truth-Seeking Balls.

However, the curtain of flames, which was the target of the attack, only shook a little and showed no signs of being broken.

Madara acted decisively. Since he couldn't break through the barrier, he attacked Nagasawa, who was concentrating power.

The nine Truth-Seeking Balls behind him were launched simultaneously, heading straight for Nagasawa, who was raising his sword.

Undeterred, Nagasawa, who had already spent his life force, let his body burn even more intensely. The golden flames surged more vigorously, with some continuing to merge into the small golden balls at the tip of his sword, while others formed a shield to protect Nagasawa's body.

Even with all nine Truth-Seeking Balls attacking simultaneously, they couldn't break through Nagasawa's defense in an instant; they only chipped off the fiery shield slightly.

Madara quickly assessed the situation and concluded that he could break through Nagasawa's shield if he continued the assault.

However, sensing the increasingly terrifying small golden ball, Madara ultimately recalled all the Truth-Seeking Balls and merged them into a large black sphere that enveloped his entire body.
