Chapter 178 This is the power that changes the ninja world
Although he was almost cut in two by a sword, Uchiha Madara did not die.
White spores were constantly overflowing from the wound on his chest, trying to repair his broken body.
Shiba Kiyokawa was not surprised by this.
There is nothing to worry about: because even if White Zetsu can repair Madara's injuries, he cannot make up for Madara's depleted vitality.
From the moment Uchiha Madara resolutely pulled out the tube and severed the connection with the Outer Path Statue, the old man's life was destined to enter the final countdown.
Kagura's mind's eye perceived feedback: the opponent probably only had a few dozen seconds left.
So Shiba Kiyokawa was never in a hurry.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Ban kept coughing, and the blood foam he coughed out was full of white spores.
Except for the battle in the Valley of the End, he seemed to have never been as embarrassed as he was at this moment in his life.
Only when he reached this desperate point did his confidence and passion return.
The loss of defense and anger before the war had now miraculously disappeared, as if he had suddenly attained enlightenment.
"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be a ninja like you in this era. No wonder my will clone has been so sad recently.
Shiba Kiyokawa, I remember your name. Whenever I see you, I can't help but think of the days when I fought together with Hashirama.
You are more ambitious than that idiot Hashirama, and you are better at winning people's hearts than I was back then..."
Shiba Kiyokawa frowned.
He didn't know why Uchiha Madara suddenly became interested in talking at this critical moment.
Is this what you plan to talk about in the last few seconds of your life?
Although this was a good thing for Shiba Kiyokawa, he was happy to chat with Uchiha Madara for a few more paragraphs, preferably until the other was buried.
But in the current situation, such an abnormal development still made him instinctively alert!
Have you given up treatment?
No! Based on his understanding of Uchiha Madara, he probably wouldn't accept his fate so easily.
Sure enough, the next moment, Uchiha Madara, who had just been reminiscing about the glorious past, suddenly looked up with burning eyes and crazy laughter.
"But even so, you can never prevent the arrival of true peace! Hahahaha!"
The iconic Uchiha-style laughter broke out, and at the same time, behind Madara, there was suddenly a loud explosion, accompanied by the sound of countless pieces of gravel falling from the sky.
At that moment, the most surprised person on the battlefield was Minato Namikaze!
Because the explosion actually came from the cliff on the top of a distant mountain!
The stone bridge standing on the cliff was now engulfed by the flames and smoke of the explosion!
The situation took a surprising turn of events, and Minato Namikaze almost cried for joy!
After going through so much, his strategic goal was actually successfully achieved!
In front of the smoke from the explosion, a pitcher plant opened, revealing Black Zetsu's face in clear black and white.
He opened his mouth to say something, but due to the distance, his sound was destined not to be transmitted, and only his lip movements silently conveyed his pride.
"Qinghe, are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
Even though he was far away and couldn't hear any sound, Black Zetsu's smugness could still be clearly conveyed through the expression and demeanor on his face.
He looks so excited!
It was as if after being frustrated for so long, I finally won, so I couldn't wait to shake the champagne and celebrate wildly.
For a moment, Shiba Kiyokawa even had the urge to burst out laughing.
"Your pursuits are really getting lower and lower." His words could not be heard by Black Zetsu in the distance, but could be heard by Uchiha Madara who was nearby.
The smug laughter stopped abruptly and Madara looked up at him.
"What do you mean, little devil?"
Shiba Qinghe smiled contemptuously and continued to stab Madara in the heart.
"Am I wrong?
Your pursuit started out by despising me and wanting me to surrender; then you regressed to recognizing me and wanting to kill me; and now you are wary of me, and just disrupting my actions is enough to make you so happy that you forget yourself and think you have won a huge victory.
Aren’t your pursuits getting lower and lower?”
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Madara's face instantly turned gloomy again, his chest heaved several times, and he couldn't help coughing up several mouthfuls of blood.
For a moment, he even felt that what Shiba Qinghe said made sense, and felt ashamed of his own smugness.
However, Madara had experienced many ups and downs before, and he quickly adjusted his mood.
"Ha! You little sharp-tongued brat, even if you are good at speaking, so what? You will lose this battle in the end!"
If his life had not come to an end, Madara would not want to bully a junior in this way.
If he could still fight, he would prefer to have a good fight with this young man!
It’s just a pity that he is about to die, and his affairs after death have not been arranged yet.
He also didn't want to deceive himself and declare victory, but for the sake of his precarious "great cause", Madara had to compromise and join forces with Black Zetsu to block Shiba Kiyokawa's way.
What made Uchiha Madara uneasy was that after the explosion actually happened, Shiba Kiyokawa actually relaxed his brows, as if he had finally let go of his worries.
Even after talking so much, the young man above his head never showed any anxiety, and was not even in a hurry to fly past him and towards the Kamubi Bridge.
This made Uchiha Madara, who had secretly accumulated strength and was waiting for his last dance before death to give Shiba Kiyokawa a surprise, feel very uncomfortable.
Damn it! The strategic goal you worked so hard for for so long has failed. Aren’t you anxious at all?
How can you not be anxious?
Why aren't you anxious?
Seeing that Shiba Qinghe was not in a hurry, Uchiha started to get anxious instead.
Because he knew he was really dying.
Until, Shiba Qinghe suddenly chuckled, as if he had seen through his thoughts at a glance, and spoke slowly.
"You know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry. Look back if you don't believe me."
Uchiha Madara looked back in disbelief.
The fire and smoke from the explosion finally dissipated.
The original stone bridge shattered and disintegrated, and all the stones fell down the cliff.
However, when the haze dissipated, the scene that Madara, Black Zetsu and even Namikaze Minato expected did not appear!
The cliff did not break off the connection——
Although the body of the stone bridge was blown up, what was exposed were the high-quality steel structures that were connected to each other!
It was not until this time that Hiruko appeared in the woods on the other side of the cliff, followed by some new recruits of the Akatsuki organization.
It’s just that these people are not wearing combat vests now, but are back to their old job when they retired from the Rain Country - dusting!
They all wore safety helmets and held construction shovels, and their wheelbarrows were filled with sand and concrete.
At this moment, an airship was slowly rising from the woods behind the team. Hanging in the basket below the airship were all cast steel materials that had been processed in Loulan and transported here overnight a few days ago.
Not long ago, Shiba Kiyokawa and Hiruko studied the location and structure of the Kammubi Bridge all night long. After a long period of thinking and repeated consultations, they finally finalized the final renovation plan for the bridge reinforcement!
It just so happened that some of the new ninjas who had recently been recruited to the front line, led by that troublesome civil engineering brother Seino Tetsuji, had many people who had worked on construction sites in the Rain Country, so there was no worry at all about finding manpower.
The steel structures now exposed under the bridge deck are all the results of their emergency renovations in the past few days!
Even if there is no bombing by Black Zetsu in the future, they plan to continue renovating and reinforcing the main traffic route on the cliff within a week.
The iron mines of the Grass Kingdom and the energy and factories of Loulan all played a huge role in this process.
At that moment, Shiba Kiyokawa faced the rising sun, looked at Uchiha Madara with a proud smile on his face.
"See? This is the power that will change the ninja world!"
