Boom…
The crystal release jutsu explodes near Madara, raising a cloud of dust and debris.
A smirk appears on the deputy chief's face.
"We got him good!" He remarks.
"Don't lower your guard yet!" The chief shinobi grips the handle of his earth hammer and nervously glances at the dust cloud.
Swirl… Swirl…
Suddenly, a massive amount of wind chakra swirls within the dust cloud. The wind pressure blows the dust away, revealing Madara.
A small blue summoning seal is glowing on his left wrist.
The earth shinobi duo quickly recognizes it as a special tool summoning seal.
'He still has enough chakra to use a C-rank jutsu? Is the drug not potent enough?' The expression of the chief shinobi turns ugly.
Swish…
Madara holds a giant non-folding fan made of wood in his right hand. The surface of the fan flickers with a faint greenish hue of wind chakra.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, the expression of the chief shinobi turns grim.
"QUICK! BRACE YOURSELF!"
He yells to warn his teammates.
The chief shinobi slams the giant earth hammer in front of him to erect an earth wall. He crosses his arms in front of his chest and head.
Meanwhile, the deputy chief also senses something amiss. He swiftly encases his body in a purple crystal and the massive crystal dragon also wraps around the purple crystal.
"UCHIHA DEFLECT!"
BOOM…
A powerful burst of compressed wind chakra explodes from the glowing surface of the giant fan. The powerful blast turns into a massive tornado and blows away the nearby buildings, ground, and earth walls.
Several small wind blades wheeze past the streets, slicing everything in their vicinity.
The scales of the massive crystal dragon fall off from the attack of numerous wind blades and several cracks appear on its surface.
The earth armor of the chief shinobis is also chipped away, inflicting several cuts on his exposed skin.
Argh…
He grits his teeth and reinforces his armor with more chakra.
Whoosh…
Madara's counterattack lasts for a few seconds before fading away.
Bang… Bang… Bang…
The flying dust and debris fall to the ground, raising a small dust cloud.
"You are more resilient than my expectations!"
Madara slowly walks out of the dust cloud with the Uchiha Gunbai on his shoulder. Despite his beaten-up state and several battle wounds, Madara has a huge grin on his face.
HAHA…
"It has been a while since I fought to my heart's content in a battle. This is it! This is the thrill of the battle. Come, let's dance to our heart's content."
Madara infuses some chakra on the sole of his feet and jumps towards the giant crystal dragon.
Whoosh… Swish… Swish…
The deputy chief waves his hand and fires hundreds of crystal shards towards Madara.
Hah…
Madara swings his gunbai and creates a small wind blast to deflect the incoming attacks. He avoids the remaining crystals as they shoot past him.
'As I suspected, his Kekkei Genkai can instantly crystallize any physical object, but it has no effect on chakra or anything infused with chakra.'
Clang…
The deputy chief creates a crystal sword to block Madara's strike.
Haah…
Madara applies some force in his attack and pushes the shinobi back.
Crack… Snap…
The already-tattered crystal dragon shatters into several fragments under Madara's attack.
Meanwhile, the chief shinobi also recovers from the previous attack.
"Everyone, attack him together!"
He signals to his subordinates to launch an all-out attack on Madara.
The deputy chief attempts to block Madara with another rain of small crystal spears, but Madara easily deflects them with his gunbai.
"Damn it!" The deputy chief grits his teeth.
'I can't use my full strength since half of my chakra is being used to maintain this crystal barrier.'
"Attack!"
"Don't let him escape!"
Several earth shinobis flood toward Madara to overwhelm him from all directions. The chief shinobi also uses this opportunity to land a blow on Madara.
The chief shinobi's arm suddenly inflates because of the infusion of a large amount of chakra. Veins pop out on his arm from the extreme stress on his muscles. A layer of earth chakra coats his arms, further bolstering his strength.
"DIE!"
The chief shinobi's fist rapidly enlarges in Madara's vision.
"It has been a while since I fought several enemies like this. The last time I remember is when Izuna and I were surrounded by several members of the Senju and Uzumaki clan."
A memory flash past Madara's mind. Madara's expression turns somber as it reminds him of his late little brother.
Clench…
Madara grasps the handle of Gunbai. He raises his head and confronts the incoming hoard of earth shinobis.
He wipes some blood from the corner of his mouth and swipes it across the surface of the Gunbai. Madara's blood activates a fuinjutsu seal on the Gunbai's handle. A large amount of chakra gathers across its surface.
The Uchiha Gunbai is an ancient artifact passed down in the Uchiha clan since the era of the Sage of Six Paths. It's made of an unknown spirit wood with the ability to absorb, store, and release chakra. The unknown spirit wood can also absorb any sort of chakra nature and release it as wind chakra. Only the blood of an Uchiha can activate the seal on Gunbai.
The surface of Gunbai glows with a greenish hue, a sign of a large amount of wind chakra.
HAAH…
Madara raises and points the Gunbai towards the sky.
"Secret Art: Fūjin Gekido," (Fury of Wind God)
He swings the fan down. The chief shinobi's massive rock fist was only a yard away from him.
BOOM…
A powerful wind blast erupts with Madara as the focal point. The powerful wind pressure creates such a destructive force that it blows away everything in a wide conical area in front of Madara.
The ground caves in front of him, and everything, including buildings, rock, dust, debris, and even the earth shinobis, are blown apart by the force.
The deafening wind blast rattles the ear of the faraway shinobis. The powerful force of the jutsu destroys an entire area of the earth labyrinth in front and sends shockwaves across the ground. It travels even further and strikes the surface of the massive crystal dome prison.
Rattle… Rattle…
Only after striking the surface of the crystal dome does the wind blast disperse. It scatters into several small wind blades that wreak havoc in its surroundings.
Crack… Snap… BANG…
Several cracks quickly spread across the surface of the massive crystal dome. Some of its fragments fall from the sky.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
The shinobis responsible for maintaining the massive earth prison gasp in shock.
"That's… that's Hisui sama's unbreakable barrier. It-it shattered! There is no way!" They stare at each other with fear and shock.
"Is this the power of the rival of the God of Shinobi?" The tales of Hashirama Senju's power are widely spread throughout the entire world. However, not much is known about Madara, except he fought and lost against Hashirama.
Splash… Splash… Splash…
The flesh, blood, and organs of the earth shinobis rain down on their comrades, creating a traumatic scene. This terrifying moment sends chills down their spine.
"No-no way!"
Terror crawls across the hearts of some frail-minded shinobis as the remnants of their comrades splatter in front of them.
The aftereffect of Madara's technique slowly fades away, but the rain of blood and gore continues.
The shinobis in front were the first to brace the impact of the jutsu. The sheer pressure and the cutting force of the wind blast instantly blew away their body to bits and pieces despite their protective armor.
Only a few lucky shinobis in the rear who were stranded too far could survive, albeit with severe wounds or missing limbs.
Madara's attack not only blew away the poison mist but also hammered down the massive crystal prison with enough force to shatter it into fragments.
"Mm-y barrier!"
The deputy chief's eyes turn hazy as his most prized technique shatters in front of his very eyes. There are several cuts across his body because of several miniature wind blades. His armor and clothes are in tatters and the crystal wall in front of him shatters.
BANG…
Suddenly, a massive earth boulder smashes in front of him.
