Chapter 507: The Same Move Won

"Yes, Lord Madara!"

A Fei heard that and immediately possessed Madara Uchiha.

It is a special fragment of Bai Jue that can attach to others, enhancing the host's condition.

For example, in the original work A Fei possessed the severely wounded Uchiha Obito, greatly boosting Obito's power, allowing him to shatter the massive rock sealing the underground cavity with a single punch.

During the Fourth Ninja World War, A Fei possessed Yamato, not only using Yamato's Wood Release but also summoning a gigantic Wood Release wooden construct, displaying power far surpassing Yamato himself.

Madara Uchiha, aware of A Fei's nature, could only have it possess him in this situation.

Otherwise, with his currently aged body, he would be no match for Lian Ye at all.

"Lord Madara, let's join forces to oppose the obstinate Lian Ye, shall we~"

A Fei's cheerful voice rang in Madara's ear.

When A Fei's body fully enveloped Madara Uchiha, his aged form suddenly regained vigor, and his slightly hunched back instantly straightened.

His frail fingers brushed the white Uzumaki Mask on his face, revealing a pair of faintly glowing Rinnegan between his fingers.

Lian Ye: "!!!"

Six six six, now he's truly become Madara Uchiha, the White Mask.

He hadn't expected Lord Ban to use A Fei to improve his physical condition, but on closer thought it was quite natural.

Without doing this, Lord Ban simply couldn't win.

Even with A Fei's possession, the amplification range is limited; it only slightly raises his chances of victory.

Everyone present stared in shock at the Madara possessed by A Fei, never expecting that white Bai Jue fragment to wield such formidable power.

Senju Feijian and Orochimaru's gazes burned with unusual intensity.

If they could capture A Fei for study, they'd surely uncover its underlying principle.

By then, Konoha's ninja would have a means of amplification!

At this moment, A Fei still doesn't know he's already been targeted by two mad scientists.

If Madara Uchiha were to be defeated, his fate would be easy to imagine…

Madara Uchiha felt his condition recover, instinctively clenching his fist, his battle spirit blazing as he looked toward Lian Ye.

"Kid, we can finally have a proper fight!"

Lian Ye, seeing Lord Ban's restored condition, spun his Kaleidoscope Sharingan at high speed, without hesitation activating his right eye's ability again.

Invisible ripples swept across the battlefield, and Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan dimmed once more.

Now only the final chance to use the right eye remains.

We can't rely on him any longer; we must eliminate Lord Ban!

He resolved to utterly defeat Madara Uchiha before the right eye's ability is exhausted!

He cannot allow him any further ability to act.

If that fails, the only option is to strike him down mercilessly.

Madara Uchiha looked at Lian Ye's serious face and suddenly sneered.

"Kid, you don't think that just because I lack the Rinnegan I'm no longer your opponent, do you?"

Saying that, he formed hand seals with both hands.

From afar, Senju Hashirama and Senju Feijian, watching the battle, both displayed shocked expressions.

This seal is…

"Wood Release: Tree Realm Birth!"

Since grafting Hashirama's flesh, he has mastered the Wood Release technique.

He just never had the chance to use it.

Now that his Rinnegan is restrained by Lian Ye, it's a perfect opportunity to test Wood Release's power.

Back then he was often suppressed by Hashirama's Wood Release; using it against Lian Ye now is just right!

During the earth's tremor, countless ancient sky‑blue trees burst from the ground, their spiked vines coiling toward Lian Ye like a giant python.

It gave a suffocating sensation akin to being wrapped by a python.

Senju Feijian shouted hoarsely, "Brother, why can Madara use Wood Release?!"

He didn't understand; Wood Release is his brother's signature technique, so how could that guy Madara wield it?!

One must know that, up to now in the Ninja World, only his brother can use Wood Release!

So Madara Uchiha being able to use it as well is bound to astonish him.

Senju Hashirama wore a bewildered expression, not understanding when Madara had secretly learned Wood Release.

Everyone present knows how formidable Wood Release is, and they anxiously glanced toward the battlefield's center, fearing for Lian Ye's safety.

Facing the overwhelming onslaught of Wood Release, Lian Ye could only grit his teeth and employ Susanoo to block.

Just as Madara faced Hashirama's Wood Release.

A dark‑red half‑body Susanoo instantly formed, drawing a massive chakra katana to slash, but the trees, as if alive, surged forward endlessly, their thick roots climbing up along the Susanoo.

Madara Uchiha stood atop the tallest tree root, arms crossed, watching Lian Ye surrounded by the trees.

"Useless, in this forest you have no chance of winning!"

At this moment, he finally grasped the feeling Hashirama gets when using this ninjutsu.

The trees can absorb chakra; back then he often suffered from this technique.

Now he can finally use this move against others.

Accompanied by his words, the trees erupted with terrifying growth power, forcibly lifting Lian Ye's Susanoo off the ground.

Lian Ye, together with his Susanoo, was hurled into the sky, the dark‑red Susanoo beginning to crack upon impact.

Madara Uchiha raised his hand in a void grasp, and countless branches instantly wove into a net, covering the Susanoo.

"Give up struggling, I've already mastered Hashirama's Wood Release!"

In Lian Ye's eyes the Kaleidoscope spun rapidly, and the dark crimson Susanoo surged suddenly, forcefully using his Tachi to split open a fissure.

He dispelled the Susanoo, his figure flashing as he slipped out of the net of trees.

"Lord Ban, I admit your Wood Release truly rivals Uncle Hashirama's, but… that's as far as it goes!"

Before the words finished, his figure suddenly vanished.

During the trees' frantic sweep just now, the Flying Thunder God Kunai that had been scattered across the Battlefield were completely displaced.

And one of them happened to land not far behind Ban.

"Flying Thunder God Slash!"

Lian Ye's figure appeared without warning from the Kunai's location, his Tachi striking toward Ban's rear heart with a speed faster than thunder.

The strike was swift, and the blade pierced the target without obstruction.

Madara Uchiha's face showed a shocked expression; unwillingly he glanced back at Lian Ye, then slowly fell forward to the ground.

Finally, it's over.

The Konoha Ninja, seeing this, showed excitement on their faces.

Lord Lian Ye killed Madara Uchiha, and the Ninja World will no longer face the danger of annihilation!

"Ban!" Senju Hashirama's face turned ashen, his expression guilty as he looked at his fallen comrade.

In the end, Ban was still killed by Lian Ye.

He had just intended to step forward to check his friend's condition when the situation in the arena shifted.

On the ground, Madara Uchiha's corpse gradually turned into trees.

Uh oh, it's a Wood Clone!

"When…?" Lian Ye's pupils contracted sharply, his face showing horror.

"Here."

A deep voice came from behind him.

The real Madara Uchiha had appeared at an unknown moment, a black rod formed by Yin‑Yang Release gathered in the palm of his right hand.

"The same technique, I won't fall for it twice."

Back then, during the Valley of the End battle, he was slain by Hashirama's surprise attack from behind.

How could he possibly repeat that mistake now?

Speaking thus, Madara Uchiha mercilessly thrust the black rod toward Lian Ye's rear heart.
