Chapter 288

Madara Uchiha let out a cold snort.

The Susanoo beneath his feet swiftly drew a massive Wu Shidao.

It slashed down at Future Sasuke!

Seeing the colossal Wu Shidao descending from above,

Future Sasuke's pupils shrank sharply!!

Damn it!!

In haste,

he could only command his own Susanoo to slightly, slightly lower its body in defense!!

"Whoosh!!"

Half of Future Sasuke's Susanoo vanished!!

Only the central core remained, firmly shielding him at its center!!

·· ········Request flowers··· ·······

That was close!!

Watching this, Future Sasuke couldn't help but hold his breath!!

If the Susanoo hadn't just assumed a defensive posture!

He would already have been utterly crushed by Madara Uchiha!

That single strike could have shattered the entire Susanoo!

It could have left him no time to react!

He wasn't fast enough to react,

he would have lost all combat capability by now.

Seeing Future Sasuke's reaction,

Madara Uchiha merely frowned.

He felt no joy of victory.

Future Sasuke was strong in every aspect,

but he gave off the sense that something was missing.

The aura of this man before him…

Always lacked true aggression.

And his battle awareness seemed remarkably low!!

This made Madara Uchiha feel deeply unsettled.

Members of the Uchiha clan are born lovers of battle,

each one can be called a battle fanatic,

they may lack many things,

but they never lack battle experience or battle awareness!!!

Yet Future Sasuke has raised his power to this level,

and evolved his Sharingan into the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan,

it makes no sense that he would lack battle awareness.

"This guy…"

Madara Uchiha frowned, his eyes scanning Future Sasuke with confusion.

At this moment, Future Sasuke seemed to sense Madara Uchiha's gaze!!

He gritted his teeth in frustration!!

Instantly,

a massive purple phantom flame erupted outward!!

The purple-armored warrior's body fully restored,

returning to its former state!

"Looks like… you're tougher than I imagined!"

Seeing Future Sasuke's Susanoo instantly restored,

Madara Uchiha smiled but said nothing!!

Even if Future Sasuke restored his Susanoo,

in Madara Uchiha's eyes,

it meant nothing!!

Even if the battle repeated countless times,

the one who would ultimately win was himself!!

This was a truth Madara Uchiha deeply believed in!!

At the very least,

when he fought,

he never distracted himself,

nor did he waste time on anything unnecessary!!

He simply savored the joy of battle.

But this mysterious man before him,

he could never achieve this.

There were simply too many things inside him holding him back!!

Too many distracting thoughts in his heart,

so naturally there was hesitation between strikes!!

In Madara Uchiha's eyes, this was not a good thing!!

At the very least,

the man before him held no hunger for battle!!

The two of them possessed equal strength,

but Madara Uchiha believed

that he would surely be the one to claim victory!!

He could push eighty points of strength to a hundred,

but the Sasuke of the future might not have that ability!

Even if he possessed a hundred points of strength,

bringing out eighty would already be impressive!

Because countless thoughts inside him were weighing him down!!

The Sasuke of the future strained to repair the purple Susanoo back to its full form.

Although his ocular power was not an issue,

his stamina was struggling to hold up!!

What Madara Uchiha knew,

he himself also knew—

the distracting thoughts in his heart were simply too many!

So in battle there were many moments of hesitation!

The Sasuke of the future also knew this was not a good thing,

but he had no way to control the thoughts in his own mind!

That was because it had been a very long time since he last fought a battle like this!

So when fighting against Madara Uchiha,

he discovered

that even with full concentration,

he could only barely keep up with Madara Uchiha's movements!!

Besides that,
