Naruto: Unlocking Kaido Template-Chapter 231

Madara was incredibly fast, but he didn't expect things to escalate just because he toyed with a few Kage for a moment.

As the massive golem crumbled into pieces, Madara's gaze turned cold. A blue shadow formed around him—Susanoo. His eyes locked on the eyeball in Zixu's hand, and he spoke with an icy tone.

"Give me that eye."

Zixu didn't respond with words—his actions made his intentions clear.

The intricate eyeball, which looked like a work of art, shattered in his palm. The ruby-like eye burst into shards like broken glass.

Complete Body Susanoo formed around Madara, and the towering blue warrior appeared, rivaling the height of the golem. Without a word, the massive crystal blade swung toward Zixu.

The masked man had vanished, location unknown, but his hatred toward Zixu ran deep. He would not let this go and would surely come back with a surprise.

Zixu swiftly dodged the strike. Not only did he evade it, he retaliated—his enchanted mace slamming into the blue phantom.

"It's useless. Susanoo is the ultimate defense. With your strength..." Madara began to speak, but his words caught in his throat.

An immense force surged through the blade of Susanoo.

The supposedly indestructible weapon cracked from the impact. The eerie sound of shattering crystal echoed through the tense air. Zixu advanced, blood-red steam erupting from his body. The blue armor, which had easily withstood attacks from five Kage, now shattered like brittle plastic under his assault.

With hair flowing wildly, Zixu looked like a demon rising from the depths of hell, his mace swinging as he drew closer to Madara.

Just as his strike was about to land, a white-haired young man appeared between them, grinning.

He wore a harmless smile, but the vibe was anything but friendly. His curved eyebrows bore patterns similar to a Devil Fruit. His hair burned like white flames, and he watched Zixu with intense curiosity.

"!"

For once, the ever-calm Zixu couldn't maintain his composure. Though he had guessed this might happen, seeing the fruit user's face identical to his own shocked him.

"Hito Hito no Mi: Mythical Zoan, Model: Nika" (Human-Human Fruit: Mythical Beast Species, Nika Form)... Zixu muttered softly. The Sun God himself stood before him.

"So, he's likely the one who stole the system?" Zixu couldn't determine what powers this doppelgänger had. The situation had clearly turned against him.

"How did he do it? Even with Orochimaru's help, this should be impossible... Wait... Black Zetsu..."

He began piecing it together, though the picture was still incomplete. One thing was clear—he'd rather beat these bastards down than overthink it.

The smiling copy of him grinned eerily. His voice was low, hoarse—completely unnatural for someone so young.

"You're going to die here."

Madara nodded behind him, seeming quite familiar with the white-haired figure.

"Black Zetsu, huh? Seems like things really have changed..."

The clone of Zixu was aflame, and the surrounding terrain turned rubbery. When Zixu's mace struck, it was like hitting jelly. The force of the blow dissipated completely. The ground rippled like water, protecting those beneath it.

"No more blunt force... rubber? Then we'll switch to cutting."

Zixu adapted fast. Recalling Kaido's fight with Luffy, he immediately transitioned to wind blade attacks. His combat IQ remained sharp.

The slicing winds tore into the clone, leaving visible wounds. Clearly, he hadn't fully mastered his power—still adapting.

"Accept your fate. You stand no chance." Black Zetsu spoke calmly, as if fate itself was against Zixu.

"Heh..." Zixu scoffed. He understood now how Kaido must've felt—giving his all, only to be crushed by a joke called "fate." It was cruelly ironic.

"But I've never been alone."

A smirk formed on Zixu's face. Dozens of moon blades formed from the moonlight above, empowered by Hyuga Chinano's refined chakra. The blades shimmered with deadly precision.

A scarlet Sharingan gleamed in the air. The atmosphere grew thick and tense. Uzumaki Karin had silently merged his chakra into Zixu, slowly healing his wounds. The sand pressed down, restricting the elastic terrain. Ice sealed the battlefield.

Several figures stood behind him.

"Hundreds Organization—assemble!"

The clone of Zixu sneered.

"Rotten fish and shrimp... you think that matters?"

But no one noticed Uchiha Madara's body slowly shifting—becoming more solid. The shattered crystals from the crushed eyeball were gone, and something stirred within the wreckage of the Outer Path.

A tiny sapling had begun to grow, rooted firmly into the earth. At its center sat an eyeball—eerily similar to the one Zixu destroyed—silently gathering power.

The fierce battle continued.

Hidden in the shadows, Yakushi Kabuto watched in frustration. He had planned this war to prove himself to Orochimaru, but now his Impure World Reincarnation (Edo Tensei) army felt pointless.

Just as discouragement began to set in, a low, solemn voice whispered beside him.

"Kabuto, are you interested in doing something big? We have a very interesting plan—and you're vital to it."

Rossinante appeared behind him like a phantom. Kabuto didn't dare turn around. A chill crept up his neck.

"What kind of big thing?" Kabuto asked, still.

Even with his strength, he knew he couldn't beat this man.

"Have you heard of the Moon Landing Plan? Zixu has an idea—and you're going to help."
