Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 190: True Several Thousand Hands Again

Relying on the powerful recovery ability from Hashirama's cells, Madara quickly recovered.

After carefully sensing his body and confirming that there were no major issues, Madara sighed in relief.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit of fear.

That was too dangerous!

His Susanoo and Wooden Golem absorbed most of the damage.

Then, by temporarily activating Susanoo and the Rinnegan's Preta Path for defense, he managed to minimize the damage.

Even so, without Hashirama's cells, he would've been finished.

If this had happened before the transplantation of Hashirama cells, he might have died on the spot.

"What kind of ninjutsu was that?" Madara asked in a deep voice.

He had never seen such an overwhelming move before.

The last thing he remembered was seeing a glowing white fist.

Then, his vision was engulfed by dazzling light.

His mighty Susanoo was obliterated instantly, leaving him no time to react.

Such terrifying power...

Not even Hashirama's True Several Thousand Hands could destroy his Susanoo so effortlessly.

Yuta calmly explained, "Technically, it's not ninjutsu. What I just used is a taijutsu technique called Eighty Gods Vacuum Fist."

If Black Zetsu were present, he might have recognized this move.

But he was far away now and likely unable to observe the battle.

"Taijutsu? Impossible!"

Madara snapped, his face filled with disbelief.

That was a technique that could obliterate the fusion of his Perfect Susanoo and Wooden Golem.

How could that be mere taijutsu?

Was this a joke?!

If it was really a taijutsu move, didn't that mean he just got destroyed by hand-to-hand combat?

Ridiculous!

Impossible!

Absolutely not!

Yuta continued, "It's simple. The move condenses chakra into fists and unleashes them. It's similar in principle to Susanoo, as both require immense Yin Chakra. However, the Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists achieves a far greater level of chakra materialization than Perfect Susanoo."

The Perfect Susanoo could be performed with Eternal Mangekyō-level power.

But to use Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists, a Byakugan user needs to reach at least the Six Paths level.

The difference between the two was enormous.

"Well, it doesn't matter whether it's ninjutsu or taijutsu."

Madara floated into the air using his Rinnegan's repulsive force and landed atop the nearby Gedo Statue.

"Yuta, I'll admit. Your power has exceeded my expectations."

When he was first revived, Black Zetsu had told him that Yuta's main strength was only the Perfect Susanoo and Wood Golem.

That was impressive but nothing he couldn't handle.

But now?

Yuta had awakened the Rinnegan.

And even worse, his Rinnegan's power surpassed his own.

"After Hashirama, you're the first opponent I've taken seriously." Madara said.

His excitement growed as his Rinnegan's power surged.

Roar!

The Gedo Statue's lower half was previously buried. It dug its hands into the ground, tearing itself free.

It let out an earth-shaking roar as it stood tall.

Buzz!

Seven of the Gedo Statue's nine eyes snapped open, glowing blood-red as they radiated terrifying chakra.

The dark-blue Susanoo wrapped around the revived Gedo Statue like armor.

A thick chakra conduit extended from the statue's head to Madara's body, supplying him with a constant flow of energy.

With the combined chakra of the seven sealed Tailed Beasts and the durability of the Gedo Statue, this was his strongest Susanoo yet.

Even if Yuta shattered the armor, the Gedo Statue's energy would regenerate it.

And unlike the fragile Wood Golem, the Gedo Statue was the physical shell of the Ten Tails.

It couldn't be easily broken.

No matter how violent the battle is, the Gedo Statue will remain unscathed.

Madara muttered, "Tch! If only I had all nine Tailed Beasts."

He could feel that seven Tailed Beasts weren't enough.

Even after combining, their chakra barely equaled Kurama's.

Still, with the Gedo Statue amplifying their power, it was much stronger than when he had controlled Kurama alone.

Back when he fought Hashirama at the Valley of the End, he relied on the Eternal Mangekyō to suppress Kurama.

Now, with the Gedo Statue fully under his Rinnegan's command, the power difference was massive.

"Come on, Yuta. Show me your full strength!"

Madara roared, controlling the Gedo Statue as he prepared for battle.

Yuta said with a smirk, "It seems the Gedo Statue's power has given you some confidence."

"In that case, I'll use a move you're familiar with."

His voice turned serious as he drew upon the Senjutsu chakra stored within him, along with the natural energy from hundreds of miles around.

"Sage Art: Wood release: True Several Thousand Hands!"

Boom!

A colossal Buddha statue erupted from the ground.

It towered over the battlefield at a whopping thousand meters tall, with countless hands spread wide.

Atop the Buddha's head stood a Wood Golem, which now seemed small in comparison.

It wasn't that the Wood Golem was tiny. It's just that the True Several Thousand Hands was just too massive.

Even the Gedo Statue looked minuscule in front of it.

"Get ready. My True Several Thousand Hands is stronger than the First Hokage's."

Yuta declared, standing atop the Buddha's head.

From this height, he overlooked the world—every mountain, every enemy beneath his feet.

Madara was speechless. He wanted to curse out loud. He didn't need Yuta to explain.

He could feel that this Buddha's chakra dwarfed the one Hashirama used at the Valley of the End.

Damn it!

Madara gritted his teeth in frustration and said, "This is just Wood release enhanced by Senjutsu chakra. I'm not the same as before."

With that, Madara controlled the Gedo Statue, preparing for battle.

There is no way he is losing to True Several Thousand Hands again.
