Naruto: Creating Immortal Techniques at Six, Shocking Uncle Snake

Chapter 148: Brutal Beating of Uchiha Madara!

Ishihara gazed at the distant Uchiha Madara, lost in thought.

The Six-Tails wasn't entirely off the table. After all, the Ten-Tails itself remained unstudied. While it was unclear how much time had passed, Madara should have nearly completed gathering the tailed beasts by now.

However, even if Ishihara wanted to study the Ten-Tails, Madara still deserved a lesson. After all, the man had severely injured Ishihara's comrades.

"Uchiha Madara? Is this the best you can do? How disappointing," Ishihara said, shaking his head and taunting openly.

For someone as prideful as Uchiha Madara, such mockery was unbearable. Enraged, Madara charged directly at Ishihara.

As for whether his opponent's strength surpassed his own? Madara neither feared nor believed it.

"Hmm? Where is he?"

After rushing forward, Madara realized that Ishihara had vanished from his line of sight. Behind him came Ishihara's voice:

"Too slow. At this speed, you can't even touch the hem of my garment."

Ishihara mocked mercilessly, suppressing his strength to the super-kage level. After all, at his Six Paths-level strength, a single slap could obliterate Madara.

Holding an experimental mindset, Ishihara refrained from using Yin-Yang Release, Truth-Seeking Balls, or even natural energy. Instead, he solely employed the powers of the Shinigami that he had developed himself. He wanted to test just how potent this system of abilities could be.

"How is this possible?! How can you move so fast?!"

Madara turned to face Ishihara, who stood far away. Shock coursed through him. This guy wasn't just fast—he was faster than Madara himself. Could body flicker techniques really cover such distances?

"This isn't a body flicker technique. It's Shunpo," Ishihara corrected with a smirk. Raising his right hand, he summoned a jet-black longsword. Behind him, a black cloak—the Shihakushō—manifested.

At this moment, his entire body radiated spiritual energy. Ishihara's gaze then locked onto Madara.

"Let's see just how strong you really are," he said, gripping the sword in one hand and dashing towards Madara.

Instinctively, Madara tried to dodge. But he could only watch in horror as Ishihara's attack closed in, leaving him unable to move. It felt as though his very soul had been sealed.

What is this technique?! Why can't I defend against it?!

Just as Madara prepared to activate his ocular powers, Ishihara's blade struck him.

"Why didn't you dodge?" Ishihara asked, puzzled. Seeing Madara stay still, Ishihara had deliberately slowed down, thinking Madara couldn't keep up. But the blade had already hit, and Madara still hadn't moved. Was he paralyzed with fear?

"Damn it!"

To Madara, Ishihara's question was another layer of mockery. This guy clearly used a secret technique to immobilize him, yet had the audacity to ask why he didn't dodge.

Madara wanted to dodge, but it was futile! He couldn't!

For the first time, Madara felt utterly humiliated. Even in his battles against Hashirama, it had always been an even match.

Enraged, Madara's Sharingan spun rapidly as he prepared to unleash Susanoo.

With a booming sound, Madara was encased in a massive blue giant. The giant swung its blade at Ishihara with overwhelming force.

Ishihara paused briefly, then smirked. Perfect timing to test the difference between Susanoo and his Zanpakutō.

Raising his right hand, Ishihara intercepted the attack with a single clang.

Both Ishihara and Madara were stunned by the result.

Madara's Complete Body Susanoo, a defense nearing S-rank ninjutsu in power, had its attack blocked with just a single sword!

"Hmm, it seems it's not as strong as I expected," Ishihara remarked indifferently. Then, with a loud cry, he unleashed:

"Getsuga Tenshō!"

A cutting wave of energy surged from Ishihara's Zanpakutō.

Madara's expression turned scornful. Susanoo couldn't possibly be destroyed by a simple slash, could it?

But as the energy wave made contact, Susanoo was cleaved apart like tofu.

"This... this is impossible!" Madara couldn't believe the outcome. When the energy dissipated, Susanoo vanished entirely.

Madara was shaken to the core. Ishihara's techniques were bizarre and terrifyingly powerful. Even seemingly unimpressive attacks carried immense destructive potential.

"Boring. You're too weak," Ishihara said nonchalantly, releasing another slash.

In an instant, Madara was cleaved in two.

However, thanks to the properties of Impure World Reincarnation, Madara regenerated and stood whole once more.

"Oh? You're in Impure World Reincarnation form? Interesting. If my sword strikes you, it should erase you entirely, right?"
