Chapter 287

"This monster!!"

Future Sasuke was struggling to steady his breathing,

forcing himself to calm down.

In the battle just now,

although he still had quite a few trump cards left,

he had absolutely not held back in the slightest.

But in Madara Uchiha's eyes,

it had only been the level of a warm-up!!

"Hmph! If that's the case…"

With a cold snort,

a giant crimson windmill appeared in Future Sasuke's eyes.

The windmill spun violently.

A towering purple-armored warrior slowly rose from beneath his feet,

setting him off like a sovereign.

"As expected… you carry the blood of our Uchiha clan on your body."

Seeing Future Sasuke summon Susano'o,

there was not the slightest hint of surprise on Madara Uchiha's face!!

In the battle with Future Sasuke just now,

he had already seen it—

every move Future Sasuke made carried the shadow of the Uchiha clan's taijutsu.

Even if he were not a member of the Uchiha clan,

his ties to the Uchiha clan were absolutely not shallow!!

And now, seeing that Future Sasuke could summon Susano'o,

Madara Uchiha grew even more curious about his identity and origins!!

In the present-day Uchiha clan,

those who could awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan and summon a complete-body Susano'o,

apart from himself and his younger brother Uchiha Izuna,

numbered no more than two or three at most.

Even their father Uchiha Tajima had been unable to summon a complete-body Susano'o!

Yet a mysterious outsider—

he could actually summon a complete-body Susano'o,

and this left Madara Uchiha thoroughly astonished!!

"Interesting… yours isn't an ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan?"

"The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan? …Truly, I don't even know what to say, I'm so thrilled…"

The grin on Madara Uchiha's lips stretched even wider.

After observing carefully,

he finally realized that what Future Sasuke was using was actually the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?!

In the present-day Uchiha clan,

he alone had awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan,

even his younger brother Uchiha Izuna was still quite a distance away from evolving into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!!

……

The Akatsuki—

seeing that the pattern in Future Sasuke's eyes was exactly the same as the one recorded in the clan—

Itachi Uchiha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His future plan should have succeeded:

Sasuke had killed him,

successfully taken his Mangekyo Sharingan,

and evolved into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!!

Although he didn't know what Future Sasuke had been through,

seeing that he had been able to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan,

Itachi Uchiha was at ease,

for it meant there was nothing wrong with his plan.

……

"Let's see whose dōjutsu power is superior!!"

The instant his words fell,

another giant blue-armored warrior likewise rose from beneath Madara Uchiha's feet,

raising his body to the same height as Future Sasuke's!!

The two equally giant warriors did not hesitate in the slightest,

drawing the weapons at their waists at the same instant and slashing viciously at each other!!!

"Boom"!!

A blast of air thousands of times fiercer than before erupted from the point where they clashed,

sweeping out toward all directions!!!

In an instant!!!

The thick layer of clouds above their heads was split open with a great hole!!

The sky became incomparably clear,

and golden sunlight streamed down through the great hole onto the ground!!

"Wood Release!! Wood Wall!!"

Seeing the commotion the two of them had caused,

Hashirama Senju shook his head and let out a soft sigh.

The earth in the four directions—east, south, west, and north—could be seen writhing,

and dark, hard trees burst madly out of the ground,

surrounding them in an instant!!!

And the shockwaves produced by the two of them clashing,

as they kept spreading outward onto the trees,

vanished without a trace on the spot!!

"So this is Wood Release? …"

Glancing at the sea of trees that had walled them in,

the future Sasuke couldn't help his pupils contracting sharply!!

He knew how much destruction a single move of his Susanoo could cause,

and with two Susanoo going at it here,

they could easily shave the entire back mountain flat!!

Even the Nine-Tails,

might not cause as much destruction as the two of them!!

Yet when their attacks landed on the surrounding sea of trees,

they didn't even scratch the bark off!!

This made the future Sasuke even more shocked in his heart!!

Just how strong is Hashirama Senju really?

"You dare let your mind wander while fighting me? Seeking death!!"

Seeing that the future Sasuke's attention seemed to have been drawn away by the surrounding sea of trees,
