Chapter 176: Lip-service Uchiha Madara's sudden outburst shocked everyone on the battlefield. It also made the seriously injured and dying Minato Namikaze couldn't help but summon up the last glimmer of hope. "Is this... the ability of the Uchiha clan? Could it be that a ninja from the Uchiha clan has secretly followed us?" Although he didn't understand, at this moment Minato Namikaze still felt sincerely grateful. My gratitude and trust towards the Uchiha clan also increased a little bit. Although this was not actually Uchiha Madara's original intention. He didn't care about the gratitude of Konoha Village at all, and he was even more disdainful of trying to win favor for the Uchiha clan who still remained in Konoha. He was just clearing the obstacles for his useless clone of will. But the next moment, just when Uchiha Madara confidently said "the first one" and was about to start counting so that Black Zetsu could watch and learn carefully, suddenly a figure rose into the sky at a rapid speed from the forest below and blocked his way before he could swing with the Susanoo! "Ice Escape: Aurora Curtain!"
The hexagonal ice crystals quickly formed an eggshell-shaped shield, protecting both the flying figure and Xiaonan! "Crash!" The next moment, Susanoo's long sword still shattered the ice cover, but the blade was inevitably delayed and deflected in the process. This small error was enough for Konan to react, and the next moment she spread out her body and turned into flying paper butterflies, completely cutting off Uchiha Madara's idea of killing her with Gundam physical attacks. Until this moment, Uchiha Madara, who had been sitting in the cave for a long time and had not seen the human world for a long time, showed a momentary expression of surprise. Then his gaze left the girl who turned into a butterfly and flew away, and turned to look at the young man who had just risen into the air at high speed and blocked his Susanoo sword. "Are you the current leader of Akatsuki, Shiba Kiyokawa?" An old and hoarse voice came from Susanoo's chest. Shiba Kiyokawa hovered in the air with the help of the ice wings and wind escape techniques behind him, squinting his eyes at Uchiha Madara who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. He felt neither sad nor happy in his heart, and in a trance he actually felt a sense of relief that the mystery had finally been solved and he no longer had to wait anxiously. He knew that the crisis that had caused the Destiny Observation System to determine that he had a chance of death until last night could not be just a surprise attack of the level described in the original book! The restless mastermind behind the scenes really took action at this moment! But he didn't expect that Uchiha Madara had such a bad temper and would pull out the tube at the slightest disagreement. Looking at Ban's body which was skin and bones and looked like a mummy, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration. This is like risking your life just to dance! "Yes, I am Shiba Kiyokawa, who are you?" At this moment, Shiba Qinghe pretended not to know Uchiha Madara and chatted with him. In fact, it is also to delay time as much as possible. It is obvious that Uchiha Madara's outburst will not last long! Kagura's perception with his mind's eye told him: Madara's life was like a candle in the wind, and even if left alone, he would die on his own in a few minutes. In this situation, Shiba Kiyokawa would naturally be happy to chat for a while longer. Madara was as bold as ever, introducing himself without hesitation: "You should have heard of my name, my name is Uchiha Madara!"
Shiba Kiyokawa pretended to be very surprised and cooperated with the other party's performance and said, "You are actually the legendary Uchiha Madara?" However, the other party did not seem to notice the exaggeration in his acting and even tried to win him over with a hoarse voice. "You are quite good, young man. Even in my era, ninjas like you were outstanding elites. Do you want to follow me? This world is beyond repair, but I can lead you to create true peace!" "Uh...haha!" At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa couldn't help but laugh out loud. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should applaud Madara's ambition and confidence, or be impressed by the madness of this world. But on second thought, it seems that Madara really has this kind of personality - he is the only one in the original work who is immune to the protagonist Naruto's words. He can generously acknowledge Kai's flying kick, but can also be foolishly deceived by Black Zetsu with a piece of stone slab for most of his life. The extreme arrogance, madness, paranoia and nerves are all concentrated in him. Such people never doubt themselves, and naturally take it for granted that every younger generation who has heard of their name should bow down to them. At this moment, Shiba Kiyokawa suddenly remembered: in the original work, Madara seemed to have tried to recruit Sasuke when he was just resurrected in the final battle, but at that time Madara had not even got his eyes back. They both have not yet gained an advantage and are both recruiting their enemies before the battle. It is no wonder that they are operated by the same person. But in the original work, he was the one who stabbed Sasuke's heart (physically) later, but now, it was Shiba Kiyokawa who stabbed Madara's heart. "You think the world is hopeless because you couldn't convince Hashirama or defeat him? Did the rain in the Valley of the End ruin your dream of being a hero?" Uchiha Madara, who was standing on Susanoo, instantly widened his eyes when he heard this, and his bony chest heaved violently like a bellows. "What did you say, little devil?!" "I say, don't be too confident, Uchiha Madara, do I need to remind you? Just because you lost to Hashirama Senju once, you completely gave up your ideals and pursuits in the first half of your life. You would rather pin your hopes on illusory legends than continue to work hard for the unification of the ninja world. If you can stick to the ideals of your youth after your defeat in the Valley of the End and regroup your forces outside of Konoha, I will respect you as a hero. It’s a pity that you didn’t. You gave up and became a shameful deserter, abandoning all your previous persistence in shame. So, Madara, I will not follow you. In my opinion, your life, which you think is full of lofty ambitions, is nothing more than a ridiculous coward who is trying to escape failure and is deceiving himself and creating a tragedy! " Shiba Qinghe said it all in one breath with a smile, watching with satisfaction as Uchiha Madara went from shock to confusion, from confusion to anger, and then from anger to defenselessness! The violent emotional fluctuations caused the pair of Sharingan that were transplanted later to shed tears of blood uncontrollably. Although his pupil power increased dramatically as a result, based on the feedback from Kagura's mind's eye, Shiba Qinghe knew that with this burst of energy, Uchiha Madara's already limited time was further compressed. The decayed heart and lung functions seemed unable to withstand such stimulation. So the mouth escape technique is indeed the strongest escape technique in this world! After saying this, Shiba Qinghe felt that he had at least cut off half of Uchiha Madara's health bar! "Little devil, you!!" The next moment, I didn’t know whether my defense was really broken and I was furious, or I had a premonition that I didn’t have much time and couldn’t continue to be stimulated. Uchiha Madara finally gave up the idea of recruiting opponents and even closed his eyes and ears, not wanting to hear a word from Shiba Kiyokawa! Susanoo's sword slashed again! But this time, Shiba Kiyokawa was even calmer. There is still half of the health bar left, at most one and a half minutes! This time, he will dance on his own without anyone's approval!
