Although the Nine-Tails could regenerate its severed body parts, each injury still inflicted significant harm, and restoring itself required a substantial amount of chakra.
Therefore, if an Uchiha wielding the Totsuka Blade continuously attacked the Nine-Tails, it would eventually kill it—no matter how resilient the beast was.
With the Complete Body Susanoo, Madara Uchiha raised the Totsuka Blade high above his head. Under his control, the Susanoo wielded the blade and swung it down at the Nine-Tails once more!
Having already experienced the devastating power of the Totsuka Blade, the Nine-Tails refused to take the attack head-on this time. Opening its massive jaws wide, it tilted its head and, at just the right moment, clamped down on the blade with its razor-sharp teeth.
Krrrsh! The sword scraped against the Nine-Tails' fangs as both forces pushed against one another in a fierce struggle.
Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes in irritation. A surge of overwhelming natural energy transformed into lightning, channeling through the Totsuka Blade and striking the Nine-Tails directly!
The Nine-Tails never expected Madara to use Lightning Release techniques. Caught off guard by the sudden paralysis caused by the electric current, it instinctively loosened its grip on the blade.
Seizing this brief opening, Madara wasted no time. Inside the Nine-Tails' mouth, he swung the Totsuka Blade horizontally, slashing fiercely at the beast's flesh!
The Nine-Tails' eyes widened in shock as it jerked its massive body back, but the blade still managed to carve a deep gash across its shoulder. Crimson-red chakra began spilling out uncontrollably from the wound.
Meanwhile, the remaining slashes of Madara's Susanoo shot past the Nine-Tails and cleaved through the air, slicing cleanly into the Hokage Monument behind them. Coincidentally—or perhaps not—the blow split the Third Hokage's likeness perfectly in half, his stone face now divided down the middle.
Leading the shinobi evacuation efforts nearby, the Third Kazekage glanced at the damaged monument of himself and twitched involuntarily, speechless. Beside him, Jiraiya grew increasingly frantic, turning to Hiruzen Sarutobi repeatedly:
"Sensei Sarutobi, we can't keep going like this! At this rate, they'll destroy all of Konoha! Sensei, what should we do?!"
Hiruzen remained silent, staring back at the two towering figures—one blue, one red—locked in combat. Every clash between them shook the earth itself, sending tremors rippling outward. Such large-scale battles weren't beyond Hiruzen's capabilities; he could employ the Four Crimson Ray Formation to contain them. However, activating that technique required four Kage-level shinobi, and Konoha simply didn't have enough manpower at the moment.
On the battlefield, the injured Nine-Tails roared in fury as malevolent crimson chakra flared around its wound, rapidly repairing the damage. Its slit pupils burned with cruelty and madness.
Standing upright like a humanoid figure, the Nine-Tails extended its massive claws, sharpening them further with layers of sinister crimson chakra before lunging toward Madara Uchiha.
"You wretch! Have you forgotten the pain I inflicted upon you in the past? How dare you attack me again!"
Madara's voice boomed arrogantly as his Susanoo swung the Totsuka Blade upward, colliding violently with the Nine-Tails' claws. Sparks erupted, and shockwaves reverberated throughout the area!
The sheer strength of Madara's Susanoo seemed otherworldly, sending the Nine-Tails' massive form reeling backward with just a single strike!
Feeling the overwhelming, almost absurd power, the Nine-Tails was filled with alarm.
Madara gave the beast no time to recover. Drawing upon his seemingly endless reserves of natural energy, he converted it into lightning, channeling it into the Totsuka Blade. Instantly, the sword crackled with electricity, resembling a divine thunderblade!
Seeing the lightning coursing along the blade, the Nine-Tails' fur practically stood on end.
Being struck by such a thunderous blade would leave even an immortal being scorched and maimed!
Holding the electrified Totsuka Blade, Madara's Susanoo loomed over the Nine-Tails, raising the weapon high above its head for a devastating downward slash!
Whoom! A colossal arc of wind and lightning, over a hundred meters tall, surged forth from the swing. It hurtled toward the Nine-Tails, carving through the ground beneath with terrifying force!
The Nine-Tails harbored no doubts—this attack would cut it clean in half. Unable to withstand it directly, it planted its limbs firmly on the ground and leapt away in desperation!
The enormous red figure bounded aside, narrowly avoiding the brunt of the strike. The thunderous slash severed two of the Nine-Tails' tails before continuing onward, effortlessly slicing through the village of Konoha within half a second. With a roar of wind and lightning, it carved through more than a dozen small mountains before finally vanishing into the horizon.
On the sidelines, Hiruzen Sarutobi stared dumbfounded at the gaping fissure left behind by Madara's attack—a trench so deep that it stretched across the entirety of Konoha and beyond, splitting apart over a dozen mountain peaks. He nearly fainted at the sight…
Jiraiya, who had been shouting moments earlier, fell silent. This level of power was simply beyond human comprehension.
Orochimaru and Tsunade exchanged grim glances, their faces etched with concern.
Kakashi Sakumo wiped cold sweat from his brow as he gazed at the aftermath of the slash. He mentally calculated that while his full-strength attack could potentially cut through half of Konoha, achieving something on the scale of Madara's feat was utterly impossible.
The shinobi of Konoha were plunged into despair.
Even the Nine-Tails, having barely dodged the lethal strike, broke out in a cold sweat. It couldn't comprehend how things had escalated so drastically. Decades ago, though it may not have been able to defeat Madara outright, it certainly wouldn't have been this powerless!
No… there was no way it could engage in close combat with Madara's Susanoo—it was practically a bug, an invincible anomaly!
The Nine-Tails landed heavily on the other side of Konoha, destroying countless buildings upon impact. Facing Madara's Susanoo once more, it opened its massive jaws wide, gathering an immense amount of Yin-Yang Release chakra within its mouth. Slowly, a pitch-black sphere formed—a Tailed Beast Bomb, the most powerful attack in its arsenal!
Seeing the ominous glow, Hiruzen paled in horror.
"This is bad! That will destroy half the village!"
But it was too late. The chakra had already coalesced, and the Nine-Tails unleashed its Tailed Beast Bomb directly at Madara!
With effortless grace, Madara sheathed his Totsuka Blade and stepped forward, catching the speeding Tailed Beast Bomb with both hands. Holding it steady, he infused enough chakra into it to prevent detonation.
Slightly bending his knees, Madara's Susanoo unfurled a pair of wings on its back. With a single flap, a hurricane-force gust propelled him forward at incredible speed. In an instant, he closed the distance between himself and the Nine-Tails. Reaching its gaping maw, Madara shoved the undetonated Tailed Beast Bomb straight back into the Nine-Tails' mouth!
