Chapter 152: Tengai Shinsei
"Ho."
"Recognized me at a glance."
Madara looked at Orochimaru with interest.
As expected, just like Obito said.
The person in front of him could no longer be called human, with that hollow void in his chest still managing to sustain life.
It indeed piqued some curiosity.
Though Obito had warned him about their extraordinary strength, in Madara's eyes, they were merely small fry.
After all, he was Uchiha Madara.
The only one who could truly challenge him was his 'good friend' Senju Hashirama.
To him, apart from Hashirama, the ninjas of this era were just a bunch of insignificant creatures.
"Second Tsuchikage, Uchiha Madara."
"A rare guest."
Orochimaru's expression remained unchanged.
"It is indeed an honor to meet such a legendary figure."
During the Warring States period, the battles between the Senju and Uchiha clans were infamous, with the most notable figures being Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.
The strength of these two made ninjas of that era feel suffocated.
Madara, not one for idle chatter, dashed towards Orochimaru with a swift strike.
A direct assault.
This overwhelming momentum was befitting of a legendary figure, but Orochimaru could not be underestimated either.
"Boom—"
It was as if a radiant pillar of light shot into the sky, the heavy spiritual pressure erupted like a tidal wave, causing the ground to tremble.
Madara's pupils shrank, momentarily losing focus before quickly regaining composure.
Oh?
As expected of Uchiha Madara.
Orochimaru was somewhat surprised by Madara.
Madara's taijutsu was formidable, and his immense strength, augmented by Hashirama's cells, made him even stronger than in life.
In their taijutsu clash, Orochimaru was being pushed back, but thanks to his Hierro, despite appearing to be on the defensive, he wasn't significantly harmed.
Madara showed slight displeasure: "Thick-skinned fellow."
Was that guy's skin made of steel?
Even a kunai couldn't pierce it.
Madara formed hand seals unhurriedly, gathering scorching chakra in his mouth, then spat out a flame towards Orochimaru.
Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!
"Boom—!"
Even though it was just a B-rank ninjutsu, in Madara's hands, its power rivaled S-rank jutsu.
The blazing sea of flames surged forward, covering a vast area, making the surroundings feel like a furnace.
The sea of flames shot towards Orochimaru like a massive arrow.
Facing the roaring sea of flames, Orochimaru calmly drew his zanpakuto.
A sharp white flash intercepted the approaching flames, and at the same time, his other hand gathered a flickering light, the dark purple glow shining brightly.
Zing!
The Cero was released instantly, roaring through the air.
In an instant, a blue flame rose around Madara, the violent chakra forming into the skeleton giant of Susanoo to block Orochimaru's Cero.
What was that just now?
Ninjutsu?
No, that's not right.
It didn't have chakra properties, and there were no hand seals.
With his Sharingan, he definitely would have noticed any hand seals.
It seemed that even the Jutsus used weren't human.
What exactly had happened in the ninja world during the years he was dead?
"As expected of Uchiha Madara, even your Susanoo's strength is different from others."
Orochimaru looked at Madara with admiration.
Seeing Orochimaru's appreciative expression, Madara felt a bit nauseated, like being ridiculed by an ant.
"Looks like I underestimated you."
"You are qualified to dance before me!"
"But how will you handle this move?"
Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan switched to Rinnegan, and Susanoo slightly transformed, losing its frontal face while growing faces on both sides, each with arms forming seals under Susanoo's protection.
"Can you withstand this Jutsu?"
Tengai Shinsei!
For a brief moment, the sandy land was covered by a massive shadow.
Feeling the pressure from above, Orochimaru looked up, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.
A meteorite?!
It was a meteorite!
Madara actually possessed such power, and those eyes were Rinnegan.
Wasn't the Rinnegan supposed to belong to the leader of the Akatsuki?
What secrets were there that he didn't know?
Under the massive shadow, a suffocating aura enveloped him.
Madara crossed his arms, looking at the stunned Orochimaru with interest.
How will you deal with this Jutsu?
Seizing the moment, Obito controlled the Second Tsuchikage to rush into Orochimaru's base, aiming to take Gaara away.
However, it wouldn't be so easy, as inside the base was Kira, a Vasto Lorde-level Arrancar.
Taking Gaara away under Kira's watchful eyes was almost impossible.
In the past, Orochimaru might have been terrified facing such a colossal meteorite, as the power levels were on different dimensions.
But now, although feeling some pressure, he wasn't completely helpless.
"Buzz—"
Immense spiritual pressure gathered at Orochimaru's fingertips, its high density distorting the surrounding space.
From a distance, Madara watched the light gathering in Orochimaru's hand, raising an eyebrow.
What was that light?
It even affected space; could this guy's power be more than it seemed?
Thinking this, Madara's expression turned grim. How much had he gone through to reach his current strength?
Had the times really changed?
"Boom—"
Gran Rey Cero released in an instant, the terrifying impact creating a huge storm.
With his Rinnegan, Madara clearly saw the surrounding space being affected by the beam.
"Rumble—"
As the Gran Rey Cero exploded, a storm descended, the dark purple light covering half the sky, blinding to the eyes.
The violent energy contained within the Gran Rey Cero instantly shredded the massive meteorite into fragments.
However, as Orochimaru was still reveling in his success, another meteorite appeared in his vision.
"There's actually two?!"
Orochimaru eyes widened in suprise.
Madara's lips curled up.
"How will you deal with the next one?"
