Chapter 171: The Words and Actions of Uchiha Yi

Madara wasted no time activating his Perfect Susano'o.

From the beginning, it was clear how seriously he was taking Uchiha Yi.

Not one to disappoint, Uchiha Yi decided to rise to the challenge.

Madara's towering Susano'o quickly materialized, standing at an imposing 800 meters tall. The sheer size of the blue armored colossus made those around feel like ants before a giant.

Those with weaker resolve found themselves trembling uncontrollably at the overwhelming sight.

"Is this your version of a giant robot?" Yi mused, intrigued.

"Well, let's play along."

Golden chakra poured out of Yi, coalescing into his own Perfect Susano'o, a radiant colossus standing over 1,000 meters tall—just slightly taller than Madara's.

"The nerve of this guy…"

Madara's eyes twitched as he gazed up at Yi, perched smugly on the brow of his colossal construct.

Though they had just met, Madara could tell that Yi had a penchant for pushing his buttons. Every action seemed calculated to provoke him.

First, taller Susano'o. Next, looking down at me?

Frustration simmered in Madara's chest. But at the end of the day, strength was what mattered most.

"Do you wish to dance as well?" Yi taunted from above, the corners of his lips curling upward in amusement.

"Strength isn't measured by size alone!" Madara countered coldly.

"Arrogant child. Let's see how much power you truly have!"

Madara commanded his Susano'o to unsheathe its sword and swing it down toward Yi.

The golden Susano'o mirrored the motion, drawing its blade to intercept.

"Clang!"

The clash of their weapons sent a deafening shockwave through the battlefield. A massive gust tore through the surrounding area, uprooting trees and blasting away debris.

The force of the impact split the earth, forming deep fissures beneath their feet.

"Not bad," Yi commented lightly.

"For mere sand, you've achieved half the strength of my peak."

"You're not the worst opponent I've faced."

"I, Uchiha Yi, acknowledge your strength."

"I, Uchiha Yi, am willing to call you the strongest!"

Yi delivered his lines with an exaggerated seriousness that left the onlookers dumbfounded.

"Wait, that sounds familiar…"

The assembled ninja exchanged bewildered glances, realizing that Yi's speech sounded eerily like Madara's earlier proclamation.

"You…!"

Madara's expression darkened.

Is this brat mocking me?

Between the taller Susano'o and the stolen lines, Yi seemed intent on irritating him at every turn.

"You've left me no choice!" Madara growled.

"Yasaka Magatama!"

Madara unleashed a volley of his signature chakra projectiles, sending the spinning orbs hurtling toward Yi.

"Yata Mirror."

Unfazed, Yi activated the Yata Mirror, a legendary shield said to be impenetrable.

The chakra magatama crashed against the shield, disintegrating harmlessly without leaving a scratch.

"Hmph. Limbo: Border Jail—Slash!"

Unwilling to relent, Madara sent his shadow clones from the Limbo dimension to attack Yi from an unseen angle.

However, Yi's Rinnegan saw through the trick immediately. With a casual swing of his blade, he deflected the incoming shadows, sending them flying back.

"Impossible! He can see the Limbo clones?"

Madara's shock was palpable. His usually unbeatable technique was rendered useless in an instant.

"I've seen enough," Yi announced dismissively.

"The game's over."

"Let me be clear: the only person who can truly threaten me… is Hashirama."

Yi's tone turned serious as he glanced toward Madara.

Madara's frustration boiled over.

"Fine, brat! Show me the source of your arrogance!"

Madara lunged forward with renewed vigor, his Susano'o swinging its massive blade.

But Yi ignored him completely.

Disabling his own Susano'o, Yi descended to the ground, walking away as if Madara were no longer worth his attention.

"You dare turn your back on me?" Madara snarled, sending another devastating strike toward Yi.

"Fire Style: Flaming Step!"

Yi's response was swift and nonchalant. Igniting his feet with fiery chakra, he moved forward with blinding speed, leaving scorching footprints in his wake.

Each step covered kilometers in an instant.

"You think you can just leave?!"

Madara bellowed, his Susano'o blade slicing down—but by the time it landed, Yi was already gone, standing beside Obito.

---

Obito, weakened and lying on the battlefield, looked up at Yi's imposing figure.

"So, you've come…" Obito muttered, coughing weakly.

"I knew you wouldn't let me go."

Yi's gaze was cold.

"No words will save you now."

Without hesitation, Yi activated his Rinnegan's unique ability, drawing Obito into the Wheel of Calamity, a personal dimension where judgment awaited.

In this space, Yi's voice resonated ominously.

"Before you die, let me give you a taste of true suffering."

"Judgment Eye!"

Yi's eyes glowed with an unholy light, signaling the beginning of Obito's torment.

---

Back on the battlefield, the shinobi stared in shock.

"What just happened?" Kakashi asked, his voice trembling.

"It's over for Obito," Tsunade murmured.

"Now… all that's left is Madara."

The tension in the air was palpable as all eyes turned toward the looming figure of Uchiha Madara, whose rage had reached its peak.

The final battle was just beginning.
