Chapter 502: Gold-tier is expensive for a reason

In the card space, the Nine-Tails' giant body began to dissolve rapidly, turning into streams of golden light and pouring into Senju Tobirama's body.

Feeling the powerful Tailed Beast chakra merging into his meridians, Senju Tobirama, shocked by the Nine-Tails' terrifying power, suddenly heard a sharp voice in his mind.

"This great one was once called a natural disaster by ignorant humans."

Between words, the Nine-Tails' body rapidly reorganized in Senju Tobirama's consciousness space. The bright red fur was actually turning into gold. Finally, the Nine-Tails, which had advanced to "Gold Legend," opened its big mouth, spitting out wisps of scorching aura.

"Now, let me show you the power of a natural disaster destroying the world."

The next second, Senju Tobirama, who hadn't reacted yet, was pulled back to reality by a dazzling strong light. He couldn't help but raise his hand to cover it, and was surprised to find that there was an extra hard thing in his hand.

"This is..."

Looking suspiciously at the golden fox buckle in his hand, he had seen the same style on Uchiha Madara's waist, but that one was white and red.

"This is this great one's true power, considered a beginner's benefit for you."

The Nine-Tails' harsh voice rang out again. Senju Tobirama looked up at the Buddha's hand about to fall, and couldn't care about thinking more. Relying on the operation guide that popped out of his mind, he skillfully split the fox buckle into two.

"DoomsGeats!"

"Set! Judgement!"

Inserting the two buckles into the sides of the driver on his waist, Senju Tobirama raised one hand and looked ahead.

"Henshin!"

Accompanied by the emotionless electronic sound of the golden fox buckle on his waist, he learned the transformation action Uchiha Madara once used and flipped the golden fox buckle.

"RevolveOn!"

*Snap! *

The fox buckle instantly spread out automatically, and a beautifully shaped golden Nine-Tails sat on the driver, its nine raised tails bursting with scorching aura.

"JudgementBoost!"

Golden armor condensed out of thin air, covering Senju Tobirama's body tightly. The predatory, terrifying aura surged accordingly.

"ReadyFight!"

The nine golden fox tails behind him slowly fell. Feeling the surging and powerful strength in his body, Senju Tobirama under the golden face mask had his pupils shake violently, a trace of imperceptible regret on his face.

"Actually this strong..."

If he had known Tailed Beast Knights were this strong, he would never have agreed to sell those Tailed Beasts cheaply.

If he gathered nine Tailed Beast Knights, the entire Ninja World would have to follow their surname "Moku" (Wood).

"Teacher?!"

Suddenly, a surprised voice woke Senju Tobirama up. Kagami, who was still flashing his light, finally recovered some strength and slowly climbed up from the crater.

*Snap! *

Looking at the gorgeously transformed Senju Tobirama, he slapped himself in disbelief. The sharp pain from his face made him recognize reality.

The teacher had really transformed into a Tailed Beast Knight, and a Gold Legend level knight at that. Honestly speaking, it looked several times more "la-hong" (cool/awesome) than his uncle's.

*Crack~*

Senju Tobirama didn't speak. With a feeling in his heart, he raised his hand, and golden light particles gathered in his palm, finally turning into a golden spear-blade. He held the weapon horizontally in front of his chest, and the nine golden fox tails behind him moved without wind, turning into golden energy and wrapping around the blade.

*Whoosh! *

Waving violently, golden sword energy shot out, expanding rapidly during the flight, finally turning into the size of the Buddha's palm.

*Rumble! *

The golden sword energy slammed heavily onto the Buddha's wooden palm. The violent energy was instantly ignited. Accompanied by a violent explosion, the Buddha's palm was actually blasted into wood chips.

"Holy crap!"

Kagami, seeing this scene, almost dropped his chin. He had used his life to cast light beam skills and couldn't hurt the Wood Statue in front of him at all. His teacher's simple slash directly cut off one of the opponent's hands.

"The mastermind hiding behind the scenes, I will defeat him."

Holding the spear-blade with one hand and taking a step forward, Senju Tobirama's voice was soft, but it fell steadily into Kagami's ears. The determination and confidence in his tone made him seem to see the high-spirited teacher from back then.

*Whoosh! *

The Golden Geats leaped, turning into a golden stream of light and rushing toward the unreachable top of the Buddha's head.

Senju Tobirama knew that he and the Thousand-Armed Buddha had a huge difference in size. Consuming energy would only waste time, so it was better to capture the ringleader first and go directly to the clone on the head.

However, the clone, who saw through Senju Tobirama's plan, couldn't let him get his wish easily. The countless giant hands carried by the Buddha fell in unison, intending to blast the golden knight into slag in mid-air.

"Tsk!"

Senju Tobirama frowned slightly. Although he was agile, facing the dense arms, he could only rely on the flames bursting from the fox tails behind him for propulsion, narrowly dodging the Buddha's attacks.

Seeing himself locked by countless arms, Senju Tobirama raised the spear-blade in his hand, and golden light wrapped around it again.

Just at this critical moment, a red figure blocked in front of him, making Senju Tobirama slightly stunned.

"Ha!"

Hands crossed and stacked together, a golden energy light beam poured out. Wherever it went, explosions sounded, and countless wooden arms were destroyed by the scorching energy.

"Teacher, leave it to me here!"

Kagami, who had repelled the first wave of arm attacks, turned his head and nodded gently to Senju Tobirama.

There was still more than a minute left before the transformation was dispelled. He would do his best to buy time for his teacher.

Senju Tobirama nodded in return. Without any hesitation, his figure turned into an unstoppable stream of light again, rushing toward the top of the Wood Statue.

*Rumble~*

The wooden giant hands immediately changed direction, grabbing toward Senju Tobirama.

"Don't even think about it!"

Kagami, seeing this, had his gaze harden. Orange-red light flourished on his pointed head. The next moment, a scorching light beam shot out, destroying all the giant hands chasing Senju Tobirama.

"Your opponent is me."

The red giant lowered his hands, his goose-egg-shaped eyes full of determination. Even though his body was very tiny in front of the Buddha, it still couldn't extinguish the enthusiasm in Uchiha Kagami's heart.

"Ha!"

Assuming that familiar starting pose again, the red giant leaped, rushing toward the countless wooden hands covering the top of his head without looking back.

A hearty decisive battle started here.

*Tap! *

Under Uchiha Kagami's cover, Senju Tobirama was unimpeded and finally landed steadily on the top of the Wood Statue. The clone controlling the Buddha had its gaze harden.

As a combat weapon specially used to hunt Tailed Beast Knights, the clone was very sensitive to the aura of Tailed Beast Knights. Although the golden knight in front of him was not its target, the chakra it exuded made it drool.

Stealing a little bit, shouldn't be discovered by No. 9, right?

*Whoosh! *

A sound of breaking air suddenly came from its ear. The clone, who was struggling, was instantly alert. The golden knight, who was still some distance away, had actually approached it.

It immediately tightened its hands, and countless thick wooden branches grew violently from beneath its feet, turning into tough vines and attacking Senju Tobirama, who was raising his blade.

*Clatter! *

The golden blade light flashed, and the wooden branches that the clone had hastily spawned were cut off by the golden knight.

Not only that, Senju Tobirama took advantage of the clone's hesitation and accelerated his figure again.

*Hiss! *

The dazzling golden light flashed past. The expressionless clone suddenly widened its eyes. Compared to the blood arrow spurting in front of it, the sharp pain from its chest made it even more at a loss.

*Whoosh~*

Senju Tobirama, who had succeeded in one strike, shook off the blood beads on the spear-blade. The powerful strength he had suddenly obtained made him a bit dazed, and his eyes under the face mask carried a trace of confusion.

But soon, he sobered up. Now was not the time to think about these side issues. Uchiha Madara was still waiting for his support, and he had to take down this clone as soon as possible.

*Whoosh! *

After confirming the plan, he turned into golden light again and killed toward the clone.

*Clang! *

The clone, whose chest wound had already healed, saw the golden light attacking it and quickly adjusted its state, assuming Senju Hashirama's classic blocking posture.

*Clang~ Clang-clang~*

In an instant, the dull stomping and blocking sounds were endless. The clone accurately blocked all of Senju Tobirama's attacks.

Seeing that the attacks were fruitless, Senju Tobirama immediately leaped back and stretched his slightly numb palms. His gaze then fell on the clone's pair of flesh palms.

Looking at the blood-stained palms, his mood finally felt better. If the opponent could really block his attacks without injury, wouldn't he have transformed in vain?

So he rushed up again, preparing to pursue the victory. The two figures started a tense and exciting physical battle on the Buddha's spacious head.

The golden blade light and the dark blue "monster strength" collided frequently. The energy explosions produced when the two forces collided could be seen clearly even from several miles away.

*Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~*

The gray-brown giant hammer was covered with human skin tissue, and the already blackening blood slowly dripped onto the ground along the blood groove of the Hullbreaker, gathering into a mirror that could reflect Uchiha Madara's sturdy figure.

"That is... the Nine-Tails' power. What is that white-haired guy doing?"

Uchiha Madara, with the blessing of the Mangekyo Sharingan, saw the battle aura on the Wood Statue's head in the distance clearly. One of the familiar powers was the Nine-Tails, which had been with him for more than ten years.

*Tap*

*Tap-tap... *

In front of him lay several corpses that were still convulsing. Of the seven alien knights he was fighting, less than half were lost, and only No. 1, No. 7, No. 8, and the strongest No. 9 had not fallen yet.

The others had all been well-served by Uchiha Madara with the sharp weapon in his hand and should have gone to the Pure Land to report by now.

It's just that he didn't know if the clones had souls and if they met the entry standards of the Pure Land.

"Target found."

Clone No. 9, who was confronting Uchiha Madara, also sensed the Nine-Tails chakra overflowing in the distance, and a flash of greed appeared in its eyes.

"No. 9, you wouldn't be thinking of running away, would you?"

Keenly sensing that his teammate had other intentions, No. 1 suddenly turned his head and questioned.

Facing Uchiha Madara, who had suddenly taken out a strange ninja tool and transformed into a muscular hunk, the few clones on their side were no match for him at all.

No. 3, with the strongest defense, had its hard skull smashed by a hammer.

No. 2, who was good at sneak attacks, was cut in half vertically by the opponent.

No. 4 wanted to rely on its super-high movement speed to perform a "deadly six kicks" on Uchiha Madara, but instead had three of its legs broken by the opponent.

As for the few clones whose lives were still intact, everyone was in danger, so they had to huddle together to confront Uchiha Madara, while quietly discussing how to fight together.

The miserable state of the first three clones was vivid in their minds. Fighting Uchiha Madara one-on-one was simply a way to seek death.

"The Master said that the mission is always the first priority."

Glancing at No. 1, who was full of suspicion, No. 9 used Jigen as a shield with sound reasons.

"Hmph! Do you think I don't know you're preparing to run away? What a coward."

Sneering with disdain, Knight No. 1 couldn't help but mock. No. 9 felt angry in his heart, but rarely did not refute.

That's right, he really wanted to run. This Uchiha Madara was simply a pervert. The final outcome of him staying behind would likely be being hammered into dumpling filling by the opponent.

"What are you guys whispering about? Hurry up and accept your death!"

*Thud! *

Seeing that the alien knights were not moving, Uchiha Madara, who was a bit irritable, frowned, and the giant hammer in his hand fell to the ground, instantly triggering an earth-shaking movement.

It is worthy of being produced by his cousin; the effect is just great.

Looking at the Hullbreaker in his hand, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but recall the time when his father was still alive, often showing off the ninja tools his cousin had given him. Those words of praise were still remembered in his heart.

"Everyone, fight side by side, don't talk about any knightly spirit with him!"

Alien knights are also knights~

Uchiha Madara's arrogant attitude successfully ignited the anger of the alien knights. No. 1 gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and took the lead, turning into a stream of light and rushing over.

The others were stunned for a moment, surprised by No. 1's sudden bravery, so they followed closely, releasing all their strength, determined to cut Uchiha Madara down.

"Well come!"

Seeing that the enemy was finally willing to fight him in close combat, Uchiha Madara laughed, and the two heavy weapons he was holding danced with fierce momentum.

*Snap! *

No. 1, who arrived in front of him first, couldn't dodge in time and was accurately hit by the Hullbreaker. Its upper body was instantly torn into pieces by the terrifying giant force.

"Haha... ah?"

Looking at the "flesh and blood" scattered all over the sky, Uchiha Madara's smile had just unfolded when it was interrupted by the sand falling into his eyes.

What was filling the sky was not flesh and blood at all, but yellow sand.

It was actually a blindfold. No. 1 hadn't led the charge at all; it had only sent a sand clone to fool everyone present.

The other alien knights who saw this scene cursed angrily in unison.

"Damn it!"

But it was too late to stop their momentum. No. 8, who had the strongest physical fitness, had to bite the bullet and raise the oil saw in his hand, colliding with the Hullbreaker in Uchiha Madara's hand.

*Crack! *

The indestructible oil saw shattered instantly, and the smoking saw teeth scattered all over the ground. No. 8 was also knocked flying by the giant force produced by the collision, smashing heavily into the forest, knocking down dozens of towering trees along the way.

Clone No. 7, seeing this, immediately flapped its wings to fly high, but before it could fly high, Uchiha Madara threw the Black Cleaver in his hand, cutting off the wings behind it from the root.

Dead for sure.

Now only No. 9 was left. It looked at Uchiha Madara, who was slowly approaching, with some despair, and cursed the No. 1 who caused the total annihilation in its heart.

"No. 9, go execute your mission."

Just as No. 9 was preparing for a desperate fight, a cold voice rang in its ear.

Following the sound, it looked up at the figure slowly falling from the sky. A flame of hope ignited in No. 9's heart again.

"Who are you?"

Discovering that there was another spoiler, Uchiha Madara stopped his steps, and a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in his scarlet eyes.

He actually hadn't discovered this person's existence just now.
