Chapter 338 The Blue Skull
After completing this precise "rescue," Tobirama Senju focused all his attention back on attacking Madara Uchiha.
He looked at the figure still standing atop the statue, arms crossed, unmoving, and a cold glint flashed in his red eyes.
Splash splash splash splash—
With a thought, hundreds and thousands of raging streams of water from the center of the enormous vortex, like giant pythons awakening, suddenly shot into the sky!
These water streams no longer dispersed, but converged into thicker and wilder columns of water, bombarding Uchiha Madara and the statue beneath his feet from all directions at incredibly tricky angles.
boom!boom!boom!boom!
The dense sounds of impact blended together, like the simultaneous firing of heavy artillery on a battlefield.
The massive stone statue of Uchiha Madara, a symbol of an era, was relentlessly bombarded, and layer after layer was peeled away.
Huge rocks continued to crumble and crash into the vortex below, where they were instantly pulverized.
However, Madara Uchiha, who stood at the center of the storm, did not even flinch.
A faint chakra barrier enveloped him, blocking all the water that could tear steel from the outside.
He didn't even glance down at Tobirama Senju, who was casting a powerful spell below.
Madara Uchiha simply raised his head, calmly looking at the sky with his Rinnegan, as if he were appreciating a fireworks display that had nothing to do with him.
This disregard, this composure, thoroughly enraged Tobirama Senju.
"snort!"
A cold snort.
Tobirama Senju increased his chakra output.
The pale blue chakra aura emanating from his body suddenly surged, its color deepening to an almost tangible form.
boom----!!!
The vortex below instantly doubled in rotation speed!
The entire Valley of the End groaned under this power, and huge, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the mountain walls on both sides.
All the water that shot into the sky no longer attacked indiscriminately, but under Tobirama Senju's will, began to converge madly towards the same point in the sky!
All the water in the Valley of the End—the waterfalls, the underground water, and even the moisture in the air—was forcibly drawn away at this moment, transforming into towering columns of water that surged towards the heavens.
The sky darkened.
It wasn't because of dark clouds, but because an endless ocean was forcibly moved into the sky.
All the water flowed in mid-air, intertwining, compressing, and merging... eventually coalescing into a terrifying form that suffocated everyone present.
That was a dragon.
A colossal dragon, unimaginably large, made entirely of flowing water!
Its body hovered above the clouds, spanning half the sky, and its enormous shadow completely enveloped the Valley of the End.
Its scales are made up of countless tiny, rapidly rotating vortexes.
Its whiskers are two surging torrents.
Its eyes were two bottomless, enormous vortexes, seemingly capable of devouring souls.
pressure.
Unparalleled pressure.
It was a dual physical and mental oppression brought about purely by mass and energy.
The air became thick and sticky, making even breathing a luxury.
Everyone looked up, their expressions almost blank, gazing at the scene that seemed like a mythical arrival.
Hashirama Senju's signature dejected look reappeared; he covered his face and let out a painful groan.
"Tobirama...you've damaged the statue...it'll be a real pain to fix..."
"Why."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly.
His mind was already racing, calculating how to write the battle damage report.
The sheer scale of the restoration work on the Valley of the End's landscape alone was enough to force Danzo's construction team to advance their budget for the next three years.
Teacher, oh teacher, your temper has remained as fiery as ever for decades.
Madara Uchiha, the target of the attack, finally turned his gaze away from the sky.
He looked down at the silver-haired man exuding a chilling murderous aura. For the first time, a complex expression of helplessness appeared on his wrinkled face, as if he were looking at an ignorant junior.
Tobirama Senju ignored everyone's reactions.
In his eyes, there was only that figure that had to be erased.
He slowly raised his left hand, spread his five fingers, and then pressed it down sharply in the direction of Uchiha Madara!
A simple action.
But it was like a royal decree.
"roar----"
The enormous water dragon, coiled in the sky, let out a silent roar, a resonance powerful enough to shake the soul, formed by the friction, compression, and churning of billions of tons of water.
Its equally enormous dragon head, large enough to easily swallow a mountain peak, slowly lowered.
The eyes, formed by vortexes, were fixed on the tiny, aged figure below.
Then.
This azure blue river that stretches across the sky, this world-destroying dragon that embodies the Second Hokage's lifelong mastery of water-style techniques, opened its massive maw, capable of devouring everything, and charged straight down towards Uchiha Madara with boundless power that could completely submerge and flatten the entire valley!
The world seemed to fall silent at that moment.
All that remained in everyone's sight was the blue sky that was falling.
And right below this destructive sky curtain.
Madara Uchiha slowly lowered his arms, which he had been embracing for a long time.
He raised his head, his pale purple Rinnegan calmly meeting the approaching maw of death and flood.
"Tobirama, after all these years, you still love biting people indiscriminately."
His low muttering was almost drowned out by the roar of the waterfall and the water dragon.
But the next moment, a will that was completely different from Tobirama Senju's cold killing intent, a will that was more ancient, more domineering, and more aloof, suddenly erupted from his slightly aged body.
Buzz—!
Pale blue chakra energy, like the purest crystal, seeped out from his body surface, quickly condensing and taking shape.
First came his ribs, then huge, ominous-looking energy bones appeared out of thin air, firmly protecting his body.
Next came the spine, arm bones, skull... a huge, destructive-looking skeletal bust rose from the ground.
Susanoo!
That enormous blue skull, with just its upper body, already surpassed the statue of Hashirama Senju below.
Two eerie blue flames burned in its empty eye sockets as it looked down at the eight roaring water dragons below, as if a god were scrutinizing a group of ignorant ants.
"This...this is..."
Danzo Shimura's body trembled slightly, not from fear, but from a tremor that came from the depths of his soul.
