Chapter 176 Talk-no-Talk Kills a Life
Madara Uchiha's sudden outburst stunned everyone on the battlefield.
This also made the critically injured and dying Minato Namikaze unable to resist awakening his last glimmer of hope.
"Is this... an ability of the Uchiha clan? Could it be that an Uchiha ninja secretly followed us?"
Although he didn't understand, Minato Namikaze felt a sense of relief at that moment.
His gratitude and trust in the Uchiha clan grew even stronger.
Although this was not actually Madara Uchiha's original intention.
He didn't care about Konoha's gratitude at all, and he disdained to help the Uchiha clan who were still in Konoha gain favor.
He was simply clearing obstacles for his own worthless will-driven alter ego.
Just a moment later, as Madara Uchiha confidently said "first" and was about to start counting so that Black Zetsu could watch and learn, a figure suddenly shot up from the forest below at lightning speed, blocking the slash he unleashed while piloting Susanoo!
"Ice Release: Aurora Curtain!"
Hexagonal ice crystals quickly formed an eggshell-shaped protective shield, protecting both the flying figure and Xiao Nan!
"Splash!"
The next moment, Susanoo's longsword still shattered the ice barrier, but the blade was inevitably slowed and deflected during the process.
This slight error was enough for Konan to react. In the next moment, she dispersed her body, turning into countless paper butterflies that fluttered in the sky, completely extinguishing Madara Uchiha's idea of killing her with a Gundam-like physical attack.
Only at this moment did Madara Uchiha, who had been sitting in the cave for a long time and had not seen the human world for a long time, show a moment of surprise.
His gaze then left the girl who had transformed into a butterfly and scattered, and turned to the boy who had just ascended into the air at lightning speed and stopped his Susanoo sword.
"You're Shiba Kiyokawa, the current leader of the Akatsuki?"
An aged and hoarse voice came from Susanoo's chest.
Shiba Kiyokawa hovered in the air using the ice wings and wind release on his back, squinting at Uchiha Madara who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield. He felt neither sadness nor joy, but in a daze, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had finally solved the mystery and no longer had to wait anxiously.
He knew that the crisis that the Fate Observation System had determined until last night was likely to be something more than just a surprise attack like the one in the original story!
The restless mastermind made his move at this very moment!
He just hadn't expected Madara Uchiha to have such a violent temper, pulling the plug at the slightest provocation.
Looking at Ban's emaciated, mummy-like body, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
This person is willing to risk their life for dancing!
"That's right, I am Shiba Kiyokawa. And who are you?"
At this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa pretended not to know Uchiha Madara and chatted with him.
In reality, it was also to delay the process as much as possible.
It's obvious that Madara Uchiha's outburst won't last long!
Kagura's perception told him that Madara's life was like a candle flickering in the wind, and even if left unattended, Madara would die on his own in a few minutes.
In this situation, Shiba Kiyokawa was naturally happy to chat a little longer.
Madara, as always, was bold and unabashed, introducing himself without any hesitation: "You should have heard of me. My name is Uchiha Madara!"
Shiba Kiyokawa feigned surprise, playing along with the other's performance, "You're actually the legendary Uchiha Madara?"
However, the other party didn't seem to notice the exaggeration in his acting, and even continued to beckon him with a hoarse voice.
"You're quite good, young man. Even in my time, a ninja like you would be an outstanding elite. Would you like to follow me?"
This world is beyond saving, but I can lead you to true peace!
"Uh...ha!" At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He was momentarily at a loss as to whether to applaud Ban's boldness and confidence, or to be awestruck by the madness of this world.
But upon further reflection, it seems that Madara is indeed that kind of person—he is the only one in the original work who is immune to Naruto's talk-no-jutsu, he can boldly acknowledge Guy's flying kick, and he can also be foolishly deceived by Black Zetsu with a stone tablet for most of his life.
Extreme arrogance, madness, paranoia, and neurosis were all concentrated in him.
Such a person never doubts himself and naturally assumes that every junior who has heard of his name should bow down to him.
Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly remembered that in the original story, Madara seemed to have tried to recruit Sasuke when he was resurrected after the final battle, at a time when Madara had not yet retrieved his eyes.
Both are enemies who haven't gained an advantage yet, and both are recruiting you on the spot. It's truly as if it's the same person's operation.
In the original story, it was he who physically injured Sasuke, but now it's Shiba Kiyokawa who's injuring Madara.
"You think the world is beyond saving because you couldn't persuade Hashirama, nor could you defeat him? Did a rainstorm at the Valley of the End destroy your heroic dreams?"
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha, who was standing on Susanoo, widened his eyes instantly, his thin, bony chest heaving violently like a bellows.
"What did you say, brat?!"
"I'm telling you, don't be so confident, Uchiha Madara. Do I need to remind you? Just because you lost to Senju Hashirama once, you completely gave up on the ideals and pursuits of the first half of your life. You'd rather place your hopes on some vague legend than work hard to unify the ninja world."
If you can still uphold your youthful ideals after your defeat at the Valley of the End and rebuild your power outside of Konoha, I will respect you as a hero.
It's a pity you didn't. You gave up, became a shameful deserter, and abandoned all your previous convictions in a disgraceful manner.
So, Madara, I will not follow you. Your so-called heroic life, in my eyes, is nothing more than a ridiculous coward's self-deception and tragedy, an attempt to escape failure!
Shiba Kiyokawa finished speaking in one breath with a smile, watching with satisfaction as Uchiha Madara went from shock to bewilderment, from bewilderment to anger, and then from anger to breaking down!
The intense emotional turmoil caused the Sharingan, which was later transplanted, to uncontrollably shed tears of blood.
Although his eye power surged as a result, Shiba Kiyokawa knew from Kagura's Mind's Eye that this attack had further compressed Madara Uchiha's already limited time.
The decaying heart and lung function seemed unable to withstand such stimulation.
So, it's no wonder that talk-no-jutsu is the strongest ninjutsu in this world! After those words, Shiba Kiyokawa felt like he had at least cut off half of Uchiha Madara's health bar!
"You brat!!"
The next moment, it was unclear whether she had truly broken down and become furious, or whether she sensed that her time was running out and she couldn't take any more stimulation.
Madara Uchiha finally gave up on the idea of recruiting opponents, and even shut down his sight and hearing, not wanting to hear Shiba Kiyokawa say a single word!
Susanoo's sword slashed down once again!
This time, however, Shiba Kiyokawa's mood was even calmer.
Half of your health bar remains, at most one and a half minutes!
This time, he will dance on his own, without needing anyone's approval!
