It has been four hours since Kagutsuchi and Madara Uchiha started fighting, and the terrain within a ten-kilometer radius has been drastically altered, almost flattened. However, despite the intensity of the battle, these two fighters show no signs of exhaustion and continue to fight.

The first person to arrive at the scene was the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, followed by Mito accompanied by Hiruzen and Mitsuo. The Third Raikage and the Third Mizukage, along with the Third Kazekage, also joined them.

They exchanged glances with one another and then turned their attention towards the battlefield, beholding the immense Susanoo and the powerful aura emanating from it. Onoki, feeling both fear and awe, spoke up, "Is that person Madara Uchiha, and the other one is Uzumaki Kagutsuchi?" He directed his gaze towards Mito for confirmation.

Mito nodded in response to Onoki's question. The Third Kazekage expressed his disbelief, "But how is this possible? Madara died in the battle of the Valley of the End."

Hiruzen, aware that he couldn't conceal the truth from the Kages, revealed, "Madara's body disappeared one day while Tobirama-sensei was conducting research on it."

Onoki, filled with anger and fear, retorted, "And you didn't bother to inform us about such a significant development?"

Hushing the heated conversation, Mito interjected, "Enough. Konoha is not obligated to inform you of every detail. Now, the point is that Madara has been revived and is fighting, Uncle."

Her commanding voice silenced everyone, reminding them of her authority.

The Third Mizukage spoke up, acknowledging the gravity of the situation, "What can we do? We cannot interfere in a battle of this magnitude. Each random blow they exchange is equivalent to the Forbidden Techniques of our respective villages."

"Yes they are on a whole other level." Said Third Kazekage.

....

In the ongoing battle between Madara and Kagutsuchi, the two combatants had been engaged in a fight for over an hour. However, this confrontation was different from their usual encounters, as they had finally found someone capable of matching their strength. Both warriors were enjoying the thrill of the fight.

"Enough with the enjoyment. It's time to get serious," declared Madara. With those words, the formidable Gedo Statue materialized beside him, and his Susanoo enveloped the statue. Despite the reduction in height to 100 meters, Madara's Susanoo became even more powerful than before.

Majestic Attire: Susanoo

Witnessing this transformation, Kagutsuchi responded, "As you wish." With a swift motion, he unleashed a massive fire sphere that engulfed Madara's Susanoo, Torch. The temperature within the fiery sphere was scorching, causing the outer layers of Madara's Susanoo to constantly burn. Despite his efforts to repair it using his chakra, even Madara found the unbearable heat challenging. He attempted to utilize the chakra absorption ability of the Gedo Statue, but to no avail.

Undeterred, Madara deployed the Gedo Statue to release a dragon-shaped construct made of chakra. The ethereal dragon collided with the fiery wall, creating a sizable hole that allowed Madara to escape its grasp.

As Madara emerged from the scorching fire sphere, his eyes met Kagutsuchi, who stood before him, a fearsome sight with his Ryuujin Jakka ablaze. With an unwavering resolve, Kagutsuchi propelled himself forward, his flaming sword slashing through the air in a devastating strike known as The First: Killing Stroke. His incredible speed allowed him to effortlessly penetrate the defenses of Susanoo, leaving behind a deep, six-foot gash on the imposing form of the Gedo Statue.

Initially taken aback by the unexpected turn of events, Kagutsuchi swiftly grasped the reality of the situation. As the husk of the mighty Ten-Tails, the Gedo Statue's resilient defense was an unsurprising testament to its power and endurance.

But with a resounding boom, the entire Gedo Statue became engulfed in flames, forcing Madara to abandon his Susanoo or risk being consumed by Kagutsuchi's fiery onslaught.

In a thunderous blast, the Gedo Statue vanished, rendering it useless for the remainder of the battle. Witnessing the statue's disappearance, Madara's countenance contorted with anger. He was left with only a few remaining tactics, some of which were costly and would have little effect on Kagutsuchi. Determined, he unleashed the power of Chibaku Tensei, causing multiple black spheres to form around him. These spheres were launched towards Kagutsuchi, drawing everything in their vicinity towards them. Amidst the mounting pressure, Kagutsuchi refused to be outdone. Utilizing Ennetsu Jigoku (Flames of Hell), he swiftly vanished from the spot, employing Shunpo to avoid harm, as the technique posed a threat even to himself.

The surroundings transformed into a veritable cage, with six towering pillars of fire trapping Madara inside. Kagutsuchi remained vigilant, carefully monitoring every move made by Madara to prevent his escape. Initially, Madara relied on Susanoo for protection, but he knew it was a temporary solution. Understanding the futility of attempting to overpower Kagutsuchi, given his immense power and proficiency in countering fire-based attacks, as well as his exceptional speed and strength that could withstand direct blows from Susanoo, Madara realized he had to make a swift exit. With a series of hand seals, both he and his Susanoo synchronized their movements, tearing open the sky to reveal a colossal meteor hurtling towards them.

"Hmph, do you think you can defeat me with such a move?" scoffed Kagutsuchi, his disdain evident towards the massive celestial projectile.

A pallid expression appeared on Madara's face, accompanied by a wry smile. "Obviously not."

Suddenly, Kagutsuchi's expression changed, as he attempted to defend against the impending strike. However, he was struck by an unforeseen force and sent hurtling through the air.
