After being repelled, Isshiki kicked the ground and charged forward again, only to dissolve into dust mid-way and disappear.
"I told you, it's useless!" Madara once again blocked the sudden kick with his fan.
"Is that so?" Isshiki smiled emotionlessly and disappeared again.
Madara quickly turned and kicked behind him.
Boom!
Their legs collided violently, and Madara was sent flying by a powerful force.
Isshiki raised his left hand and fired countless shrunken black rods.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Madara's feet stirred up dust as he stabilized himself, using repulsive force to deflect the black rods.
As the repulsive force faded, Isshiki reappeared in front of him, delivering a punch.
Madara leaned back, grabbed a chain, and swung a sickle towards Isshiki's throat. Isshiki shrank again to dodge, then grew above Madara's head, smashing down with a foot.
"Limbo: Border Jail!"
Madara tilted his head back as invisible shadows rapidly struck Isshiki's body multiple times.
Once again, Isshiki shrank and vanished.
"Enough already!"
Madara frowned, slung the fan on his back, and formed hand seals.
"Sage Art: Great Fire Annihilation!"
Scorching flames spewed from his mouth, turning the battlefield into a sea of fire.
Madara leaped into the air. As Isshiki appeared above the flames, he raised his palm and released repulsive force.
"Shinra Tensei!"
Isshiki was hit by the repulsion and sent plummeting towards the fire.
However, he quickly unleashed a vast amount of chakra, pushing the flames away and flying skyward before they could engulf him.
"It seems your powers only work against chakra-based techniques," Kaito shouted, taunting. "I was worried you could absorb and shrink sage techniques in your complete form, but apparently not!"
"You're courting death!" (p/s: "Insert side eye")
Isshiki glanced at the group hiding within a protective barrier and noticed the fire avoided that area. He dashed toward them.
"Again?" Kaito sighed, pulling out a Ryūmyaku Crystal from his sleeve. "Good thing I was prepared! Reinforce!"
He placed Ryūmyaku Crystal in his palm and slammed it into the ground. As Isshiki kicked towards them, the crystal melted, and the barrier turned into a dazzling golden shield, blocking a kick that could shatter even Susanoo.
Crack!
A fracture spread from where Isshiki's foot landed.
Keita grabbed Kaito and pulled him away, while Sasuke and Izuna readied themselves.
"Hey! Your opponent is me!"
Madara descended from the sky, delivering a kick aimed at Isshiki's head.
"Tch!"
Isshiki's expression darkened as he shrank and vanished again.
"Stay put!"
Madara glared back at Kaito, now guarding the barrier.
"I just wanted to help since you didn't gather much information on him," Kaito pouted, pretending to be upset.
"Stop being disgusting!" Izuna smacked him on the head.
"Got it," Kaito said, holding his head.
"How long until you're fully recovered, Kaito?" Chiri crouched beside him, concerned. "We'll need your strength in the end."
"I understand," Kaito replied seriously. "I'll recover as soon as possible."
Outside the barrier, Madara and Isshiki resumed their intense battle.
"My brother is only evenly matched with him at best," Izuna said, frustrated. "Killing him might be impossible."
"What's that!" Sasuke suddenly exclaimed.
Everyone looked up to see Isshiki creating numerous black cubes, floating erratically in the air.
"Those things," Kaito said, closing his eyes briefly, "will disrupt our sensory abilities."
Sasuke looked anxious. "What should we do? At this rate, Madara might fall behind."
"Don't underestimate my brother," Izuna objected. "He's faced all kinds of ninja."
"Let's hope Madara can handle it. Izuna, Miss Chiri, be ready to support at any moment. I'll focus on regaining my strength."
After speaking, Kaito closed his eyes again.
"How is it? I've fully grasped your abilities," Isshiki said, delivering a kick to Madara's abdomen. "The Rinnegan is no stranger to me."
Madara doubled over but ascended to a higher position, flipping upside down and forming seals.
"Sage Art: Great Fire Destruction!"
Searing flames fell from the sky, igniting the ground into a sea of fire, but the black cubes remained untouched.
Isshiki also ascended, dodging the flames and flying rapidly toward Madara, shrinking once more.
However, as he shrank, Madara extended his hand.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
The shrunken Isshiki, as small as dust, was immediately pulled by the powerful gravitational force.
He quickly enlarged himself to resist the pull, but Madara smirked.
"Limbo: Border Jail!"
Using his Rinnegan abilities again, four invisible shadows surrounded Isshiki and launched a relentless barrage of attacks.
Simultaneously, Madara formed hand seals once more.
"Sage Art: Great Fire Destruction!"
Blazing flames spewed onto Isshiki's body.
"Ah!"
Isshiki screamed as he fell heavily onto one of the black cubes, while flames continued to rain down on him.
The flames finally subsided, revealing Isshiki's charred body.
Madara flipped again, descending with both feet aimed at Isshiki.
"Hmph!"
Isshiki's eyes widened as he spat out black smoke, shrinking again to dodge the attack and reappearing atop another black cube.
"How troublesome."
Madara, also standing on a black cube, looked irritated as Isshiki's burn wounds rapidly healed.
"My absorption powers can't handle your sage techniques," Isshiki said, tearing off the remnants of his scorched shirt, his body fully restored. "But techniques of this level can't defeat me!"
"Your full-body form can't last long either!" Izuna suddenly shouted from below. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have kept parasitizing other bodies!"
Isshiki's expression grew grim. "I can only maintain this for two or three days, but before that, I'll kill all of you!"
"It's too late."
At that moment, Kaito suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"We're fully prepared on this end!"
"What do you mean?" Isshiki immediately turned toward him.
"Get ready for a big surprise!"
Smiling, Kaito waved his hand, and before Isshiki could charge, he and Keita, along with Sasuke, were enveloped in golden liquid and merged into the ground.
Isshiki shattered the barrier with a kick, but...
