Chapter 562: Playing with Fire!

“I said long ago that I am the savior of the world.”

Madara looked proudly at Has.h.i.+rama and the others.

In his eyes, Has.h.i.+rama and the ones with him didn’t pose any threat to him anymore.

However, just as he finished his words, s.p.a.ce suddenly distorted, forming a vortex. A figure came out of that vortex.

“It’s indeed over, but you’re not a savior and never been one.”

As the figure came out wearing a black and white Haori without any momentum, weirdly, Madara felt a threat.

“Roja-sama!”

“Sensei!”

Mei, who was defeated by Madara, felt relieved as she saw Roja.

Has.h.i.+rama and Tobirama were looking at Roja with different eyes.

“Is there someone even stronger than them? But Madara gained the power of the Sage of the Six Path, even if he reached the power of brother, I’m afraid…”

At this time, Madara’s eyes fell on Roja. Compared to Has.h.i.+rama and Tobirama, he had the Rennigan and reached the Six Path level. He saw many things they didn’t.

For example… The Six Path’s power.

“Six Path power didn’t expect someone to reach that level, but you’re not the jinchuriki of the Juubi. I don’t know where you got your power, but it’s too late now.”

Madara snorted softly as he looked down on Roja.

“Is it now?”

Roja stretched his hand, grabbing Sen Maboros.h.i.+ from thin air and waved it aimlessly.

Wouch! Wouch!

Two of Madara’s Limbo directly collapsed and turned into black ash and scattered around.

“Sure enough.”

Madara’s eyes flickered, but he wasn’t too shocked. After all, he could tell that Roja had the Six Path power as well, and Limbo Jail won’t work on him.

Has.h.i.+rama and the others didn’t know what happened, but they guessed that what defeated them before, was destroyed by Roja.

Good!

Has.h.i.+rama and Tobirama yelled in their heads. Roja not being defeated by Madara directly means that there is a chance.

As long as a chance is presented, giving up wasn’t an option.

With this in mind, Has.h.i.+rama directly started collecting Nature chakra. Soon he entered the sage mode and stepped forward, preparing to help Roja.

But at this time, Roja suddenly turned his head slightly and glanced at Mei and the others and said: “Step back, don’t come near, just focus on defending.”

“Yes.”

Mei and the others knew that there is no use of them staying there, they would probably get in Roja’s way. So, they directly retreated.

While retreating, the confidence they had in Roja was added to their nervousness. Roja asking them to stay back, would this mean he was going all out against Madara? Will he take care of him along?

If this was the case, then the outcome would be very devastating…

Madara looked at them retreating and didn’t bother stopping them. He directly attacked Roja.

From Madara’s point of view, Mei and the others weren’t important at all. He can kill them whenever he wanted. His opponent was Roja, and as long as he defeats him, everything would be over.

“Sage Art: Great Fire Annihilation!”

Becoming the Juubi’s Jinchuriki, and having Rennigans, Madara’s jutsus were no longer ordinary. He imbued them with Nature’s charka as well.

The fire attack moved toward Roja, making the whole sky turn red.

Watching the power behind that attack, Has.h.i.+rama subconsciously wanted to use his wood release to stop it, and it was too late to think whether he can stop it or not.

But, before he could perform his attack, Roja, who was standing in front of the attack, looked at Madara with ridicule and raised his sword gently.

“Playing with fire against me?”

With one wave of the sword, the sea of flames was cut in two.

The simple wave made a huge and deep gully on the ground!

This caused Has.h.i.+rama to stop in his place while his eyes widened in an instant.

“No way…”

Although both Tobirama and Has.h.i.+rama knew that Roja was strong, but not that strong!

Their shock just started.

“If you want to play with fire…”

Roja’s still looking at Madara with ridicule directly placed Sen Maboros.h.i.+ in front of him and said!

“Bankai! Zanka No Tachi!”

Wouch!

They didn’t feel any power outbreak, but what made them so surprised was the sea of flames that was cut in two. It just turned into black smoke and disappeared just like that.

At the same time, a sea of flames that made the previous one look like a child’s play appeared, with a temperature that no human being could withstand.

“What is this…”

Has.h.i.+rama, who was still in Edo Tensei, felt the heat and could tell that not only will his body evaporate, but also his soul if he didn’t move back. His face was filled with horror.

Mei and the others who were way far from Roja could still feel the heat and directly mobilized their chakra to resist the attack. Even then, their skins and lips dried up, and they felt burns in their bodies.

“This is…”

This made Madara, who was now had the Juubi sealed in him along with being a Six Path figure, feel pain across his body.

He was horrified because he knew. He knew that if he didn’t have the Six Path’s body and power, even Susanoo would melt under such heat.
