*************
Boom! Boom!
The ground began to vibrate, and then, two behemoths rose up behind the two sides.
Colt jumped on top of the Wooden Golem statue, and his figure kept climbing.
Countless arms appeared on the side of the huge Wooden Golem statue, and in the blink of an eye, both of them came to an altitude of thousands of meters.
Far away, the surviving ninja coalition had already met the first and second troops who came to support.
Looking at the two statues that were still clearly visible despite the distance, everyone fell silent one after another.
"Ninja World War? What a joke! Hahaha!"
"Are we playing around while real ninjas fight over there?" The Fourth Raikage shook his hands and laughed nervously.
Back then, he had been brave enough to start a war with Konoha and Colt.
Now, it all seemed like madness.
"Another crazy one..." Senju Tobirama glanced at the incoherent Raikage with pity, understanding his feelings well.
There was a reason his elder brother was called the God of Shinobi, while Madara could only be called second after him.
Hashirama's techniques had reached the level of gods.
However, now there was another living god in the ninja world.
Hinata and Ino looked at the battlefield with adoration and joy in their eyes.
This was their lover!
"Madara, it looks like we're going to lose even if we do our best!" Hashirama stood on the statue, looking at Colt, who stood atop the same statue that was one or two hundred meters taller than his and sighed.
"I know... I didn't expect such a powerful ninja to appear in the future generations."
Madara's voice was low, filled with uncertainty.
No one knew what was on his mind, but it was clear that the only way to completely eliminate the threat of Colt was by him resurrecting and absorbing the Ten-Tails.
"Well! Don't be so discouraged, until the last moment, the outcome is unknown."
Hashirama smiled, reassuring Madara.
Oddly enough, at this moment, Hashirama seemed more eager to fight than Madara. Madara didn't reply with words; instead, he showed his determination through action. Blue armor covered the arms of the statue, adding a divine glow.
Colt mirrored the action but in a more arrogant manner. Thousands of hands, covered by Susanoo's armor, stood ready for battle.
"First Generation, you are my elder. To show you respect, I'll give you two hands this time."
As Colt waved his hand, Madara and Hashirama saw that the big statue he stood on had lost two of its hands.
Hashirama's expression became complicated.
He had said those same words to Madara many times in the past, and now it was Colt who said them to him. He finally understood Madara's frustration.
'So, this is why Madara got angry all the time...'
The next second, both sides moved.
"Sage Art: True Several Thousand Hands: Toppling Mighty Red!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A wave of explosions rocked the battlefield as nearly 10,000 arms collided in a flurry of punches.
The eyes of both opponents focused solely on each other, and the shockwaves from the statues' blows turned the surrounding area into a vacuum.
"GO!" Hashirama roared, chakra pouring out of him as he repaired the arms of his Wooden Golem.
Madara's eyes widened as he frantically increased his chakra output, but even so, their combined strength couldn't match Colt's power.
The figures of Hashirama and Madara's statues fell, their height dropping from 900 meters to 800, then 700 meters.
They were being forced down.
A light flashed in Colt's pupils, and a feather shrunken by Sukunahikona appeared behind Hashirama and Madara.
In the next moment, Colt's figure vanished from the statue's head and reappeared beside
them.
"Flying Thunder God?" Madara and Hashirama reacted quickly, but it was already too late. "Sage Art: Magnet Style Big Ball Rasengan!"
A massive Rasengan filled with magnetic chakra pressed them against the statue, rendering them immobile. The magnetic release had a sealing property.
"Madara, looks like we lost," Hashirama said with a laugh, no longer struggling.
Despite the outcome, he seemed to have enjoyed the battle.
Madara, with his arms stiffly outstretched, lay silently on the ground, not responding.
To lose, even after teaming up with Hashirama? His pride was crushed.
Though his body couldn't reach its peak power due to being resurrected, the fact that he and Hashirama, with their infinite chakra, still lost was a harsh reality.
Behind Colt, the two Wooden Golems still loomed.
Colt teleported them to the ground.
"Sage Art: Gate of the Great God!"
Two giant torii gates descended from the sky, pinning Madara and Hashirama to the ground, replacing the Rasengan that had held them.
"You two, stay here for a while." Colt waved at them and disappeared instantly.
On Orochimaru's battlefield, the fight had also reached a boiling point. Orochimaru was fighting Naruto and Sasuke alone, with Jiraiya now supporting them.
Sasuke's attacks didn't seem to do any real damage to Orochimaru without mastery of the
Sage Mode.
He was only able to use the Susanoo to block the Truth-Seeking Balls aimed at Naruto and
Jiraiya.
Naruto took the lead in the assault, with Jiraiya backing him up.
Orochimaru wielded a long sword formed from the Truth-Seeking Balls, slicing through Jiraiya's Fire Style, leaving Jiraiya with an uneasy expression.
The battle between the two giant statues had ceased, and Orochimaru, aware of Colt's victory through his control of the Edo Tensei, knew Colt's strength was an immense threat.
He needed to deal with Naruto and capture the Nine-Tails soon.
Suddenly, the Truth-Seeking Balls vanished from behind Orochimaru and reappeared at
Naruto's feet.
"Naruto, watch out!" Jiraiya jumped and pulled Naruto to safety just as a massive explosion
erupted.
The two were thrown hundreds of meters by the blast.
"Damn it, I missed," Orochimaru muttered in disappointment.
He hadn't fully mastered the use of the Truth-Seeking Balls and was frustrated by wasting
two at once.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Nonetheless, he saw an opportunity.
Opening his palm, Orochimaru activated a powerful gravitational force.
"Universal Pull!"
Naruto, still in midair, felt the pull drawing him toward Orochimaru.
Swish!
At that moment, two feathers, shrunk by Sukunahikona, silently appeared behind
Orochimaru.
