Chapter 382

"But he can't possibly be a match for an Uchiha!!"

"Even if it's her from another world!! It won't change the outcome of the battle between me and her!!"

Madara Uchiha folded his arms across his chest,

and said with absolute confidence!!

This was his absolute confidence in his own strength,

he believed that his counterpart from another time-space was even stronger,

and that he would surely be able to defeat Uzumaki Mizuko even more easily!!!

Madara Uchiha had never, from the very beginning, imagined a scenario where he couldn't defeat Uzumaki Mizuko,

for him, such a thing simply could not exist!!!

But thinking about the number of Adamantine Sealing Chains Uzumaki Mizuko had just unleashed on the screen...

that little bit of certainty in Madara Uchiha's heart diminished by several points!!!

He didn't know whether the battle between himself and Uzumaki Mizuko

could end the way he wanted!!

After all, when Uzumaki Mizuko dealt with the Nine-Tails, it was without the slightest effort,

and even looked more relaxed than his own capture of the Nine-Tails!!

Although his other self was stronger than him,

the two of them had nearly identical fighting styles and techniques,

and facing Uzumaki Mizuko's outrageously powerful sealing jutsu,

Madara Uchiha felt there was only one method that could defeat Uzumaki Mizuko with absolute certainty!!

That was to use the Sharingan,

and see if he could pull Uzumaki Mizuko into a genjutsu!!!

If he were to fight Uzumaki Mizuko head-on,

Madara Uchiha didn't believe he had a high chance of defeating her!!!

"Hashirama... did I lose again?"

"Just as I thought... although I've grown much stronger than before, there's still a considerable gap between you and me."

"Mm-hm. After I get back this time... I will definitely train twice as hard!!"

Slowly opening her eyes,

Uzumaki Mizuko looked at Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha before her,

and the very last image in her mind was the scene of her Adamantine Sealing Chains being crushed in Hashirama Senju's single hand!!

After thinking about it for a moment,

she recalled what had just happened,

she had given it everything she had and still lost to Hashirama Senju once more!!

"But... Hashirama... I won't give up!!"

"Next time, I will definitely become stronger than I am now!!"

"I will definitely defeat you fair and square with my own strength!!"

"I believe I can definitely use my own strength to earn your true recognition!!!"

Uzumaki Mizuko clenched her teeth,

and said to Hashirama Senju with a face full of unwillingness!!

She herself hadn't expected,

that even after improving her strength by so much, she still wasn't a match for Hashirama Senju!!

Not only had the gap between the two of them not narrowed,

it had instead grown wider and wider!!

Although she said so,

Uzumaki Mizuko was also deeply lost when it came to how she would improve her strength in the future,

she had already become the strongest of the Uzumaki clan,

the Nine-Tails had no power to resist before her!!

She already felt that the path of improving her strength had reached its end!!!

Which direction she should head in next,

she was also deeply lost about!!

Otherwise she wouldn't have come directly to challenge Hashirama Senju this time,

it was precisely because she felt her strength had reached a bottleneck,

and in the short term there was no direction or method that could bring about any qualitative change in her strength!!

So she could only challenge Hashirama Senju once more,

to see just how big the gap between them truly was!!!

But although she had fought Hashirama Senju,

she had lost far too quickly,

facing her attacks, Hashirama Senju

had always been so at ease,

never once showing the slightest sign of being flustered!!!

This let Uzumaki Mito know that the gap between her and Hashirama Senju was far too vast!!

What truly made Uzumaki Mito feel a little dejected,

was that after her battle with Hashirama Senju,

she hadn't even managed to figure out where the bottom line of Hashirama Senju's strength lay!!

"Hmph!! A woman who only knows how to talk big…"

"The strength gap between you and Hashirama is something even an outsider like me can see perfectly clearly—do you not understand it yourself?"

"No matter how hard you try, you can never be Hashirama's opponent, so just give up…"

"If you don't have an accurate estimate of your own strength, then let me help you sober up…"

"Hashirama has more important things to do—where would he find the time to keep wasting it here with you?"

Before Hashirama Senju could speak,

Madara Uchiha, standing to the side, said coldly to Uzumaki Mito!!

"This is a matter between me and Hashirama—what business is it of yours?"

"Madara Uchiha… aren't you meddling in too many things?"

"And… do you think you're that strong?"

"Help me sober up… you??"

Uzumaki Mito also stood up from the ground with a face full of displeasure,

staring coldly at Madara Uchiha as she spoke.

The matter between her and Hashirama Senju—

Madara Uchiha had always wanted to stick his hand in!!!

This had long made Uzumaki Mito extremely dissatisfied with Madara Uchiha,

and this time Madara Uchiha brought it up himself first,

so Uzumaki Mito felt all the more like letting Madara Uchiha understand the gap between the two of them!!!

At the very beginning,

there was indeed a clear strength gap between her and Madara Uchiha!!

Uzumaki Mito knew she was no match for Madara Uchiha,

but after all this time,

Uzumaki Mito no longer believed she was still weaker than Madara Uchiha,

her current strength might very well have already surpassed Madara Uchiha's!!!

And every single time Madara Uchiha could put on a posture of being stronger than her to lecture her,

this had long made Uzumaki Mito dissatisfied with him!!!
