Naruto, my father's name is Uchiha Madara.

Without hesitation, they chose to burn themselves, launching this near-suicidal charge with the purest physical force!

"The Azure Beast of Konoha reports for duty!"

"Burn, my youth!"

The master and disciple transformed into two streaks of blue light, launching a fierce and relentless attack on Madara from the left and right directions at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!

With the terrifying power of the Shock Gate, every punch and kick from them contained the destructive force to split mountains and shatter rocks!

The force of the punch tore through the air, creating a piercing sonic boom;

The kick missed and slammed into the ground, instantly creating a huge crater!

Their movements were lightning fast, their attacks relentless, like two tireless machines of destruction.

"Wow...what terrifying physical skills!"

"Is this Mr. Kai and Little Lee's true strength?!"

The allied forces were stunned, and a faint glimmer of hope rekindled in their hearts.

Such a ferocious attack, perhaps... will be effective?

However, even when faced with this fierce attack that could level a small mountain, Madara's expression still carried a hint of mockery.

He didn't even use the Seeking Truth Jewel for defense.

With only the superhuman reflexes and speed granted by his Six Paths Body, he moved through the air with the ease of a ghost.

Akai's powerful punch, which was enough to shatter Susanoo, was dodged by him by the slightest difference of tilting his head.

Xiao Li's kick, delivered from a tricky angle, was easily deflected by Xiao Li's slight backward lean, allowing its sharpness to graze past him.

His movements were relaxed and graceful, as if he were not fighting for his life, but performing an elegant dance.

Their relaxed expressions contrasted sharply with the focused, vein-bulging faces of A-Kai and Xiao-Li.

"The speed is acceptable, and the power is barely passable."

Ban even had the leisure to comment, his contempt undisguised: "But, is that all?"

Akai clenched his teeth; he could sense that the other party's ease was not feigned.

Rather, it was an absolute crushing defeat in terms of strength.

Their attacks were so difficult that they could barely even touch the hem of the other person's clothes!

"We can't delay any longer! Li! Cooperate with me!"

Akai roared, and the green steam around his body surged once more!

He leaped backward, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and compressed the raging chakra in his Shock Gate state to its limit!

"Day Tiger!!"

Accompanied by a deafening tiger's roar.

A gigantic white tiger composed entirely of high-density compressed air and chakra.

With an aura of annihilation, it pounced fiercely towards Madara!

Wherever it passed, space itself seemed to distort!

Almost at the same time, Lee also unleashed his full power, kicking out dozens of fireballs burning with green chakra from another direction!

"Hidden Lotus - Blazing Storm!"

The blazing fireball arrived first, not directly attacking Ban, but precisely striking the massive energy body of the Day Tiger!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The day tiger's body was instantly detonated!

The chakra compressed to its limit internally reacted violently with the energy of the external flames.

It transformed into a terrifying energy ball, over 100 meters in diameter, interwoven with white and green!

The blinding light illuminated the entire dimly lit battlefield.

The devastating shockwave spread outwards like a tsunami, blowing away any of the nearby Allied ninjas!

At the epicenter of the explosion, the temperature was high enough to vaporize steel, and the energy was so rampant that it seemed to tear apart even the basic structure of matter!

Xiao Li landed on the ground, panting heavily.

Staring intently at the still-dissipating ball of destructive energy, he asked with a hint of hope, "Did...did it succeed?"

Akai maintained his punching stance, sweat pouring down like a waterfall, but he didn't answer, his eyes remaining incredibly serious.

The smoke and turbulent energy dissipated slowly.

The answer, cruelly revealed to everyone, was finally revealed.

Six Paths Madara remained suspended in place. He hadn't moved an inch.

His pristine white Six Paths Immortal Robe was spotless, and the Seeking the Dao Jewels around him slowly rotated, forming an invisible, absolute defensive domain.

That combined attack, which was powerful enough to severely injure even a tailed beast, couldn't even make him take a single step back!

He patted off non-existent dust from his shoulders, a hint of disappointment in his Rinnegan eyes, as he looked down at Akai and Lee, who were trembling slightly from exhaustion.

"To be able to open up to the seventh gate and, in conjunction with the detonation, create an attack of this scale... that's quite surprising."

Madara's voice was calm and even, "However, it's not the legendary Eighth Gate - Death Gate, which is said to have power dozens of times greater than that of a Kage... It seems I've been underestimated."

Xiao Li's eyes widened in disbelief, his voice trembling: "How...how is this possible...to withstand the combined attacks of two of our seventh-level masters...and...be completely unharmed?!"

Ah Kai's heart sank to the bottom.

The seventh gate was already the limit they could normally withstand.

Despite launching an all-out attack, they couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses.

The gap in strength is despair-inducing.

Chapter 505 The Gate of Death! Burn! The Last Flame of Youth!

Madara Uchiha's immeasurable power, like an abyss, was like a cold, towering mountain, almost crushing their last fighting spirit.

The combined attack of the Seventh Gate of Shock was so powerful that it couldn't even move him an inch, which was beyond the comprehension of the Allied Forces.

Kai knelt on the ground, breathing heavily, the blue steam around him flickering like a candle in the wind.

He raised his head and looked at the indifferent figure in the air, as if he were a god.

He then glanced at his disciple, Xiao Li, who was equally exhausted but had a stubborn look in his eyes.

And behind him, his companions, their eyes filled with a mixture of fear and a last glimmer of hope.

A resolute thought, like a spark igniting a wildfire, grew wildly in his heart and eventually transformed into an unshakable belief.

That's the only option left...

The ultimate taboo of the Eight Gates Formation—the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death!

Unleash the ultimate restraint located in the heart, release all the body's potential, and unleash power dozens of times greater than that of a Kage!

That is the final flame that burns everything and illuminates the darkness!

The price to pay is that the caster will undoubtedly die!

"Teacher Kai!"

Xiao Li almost instantly sensed what A Kai was thinking.

He knew his teacher too well; that look only appeared in his eyes when he was making a decision at all costs!

He grabbed Akai's arm tightly, his voice trembling with tears and unprecedented anxiety: "No! No! Let me do it! I can open the Death Gate too! I'll deal with him!"

Akai turned his head and looked at his disciple's sweat-covered and anxious face. A warm feeling and a deeper determination welled up in his heart.

He patted Xiao Li's shoulder forcefully, the force still heavy, but carrying an undeniable determination.

"Don't talk nonsense, Li!"

Akai's voice was a little hoarse from panting: "You are my proudest disciple! You are the blue beast of Konoha's future, who will surpass me!"

"How can I let my juniors walk ahead of me, their senior, on this path that leads to certain death?"

His gaze swept over the distant floating speckles, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

"And, Li, listen to me."

Akai's tone became extremely serious: "Both of us can open the Gate of Death, but we cannot waste this power at the same time."

"We need... confirmation!"

He stared intently into Lee's eyes and said, word by word, "I'll go first! I'll determine whether the power after opening the Gate of Death can truly inflict effective damage on Madara Uchiha in that state!"

"If it's feasible, even if all I can do is severely damage him, to create opportunities for you and others, my sacrifice will be worthwhile!"

"but if……"

Akai's voice lowered, carrying a hint of imperceptible heaviness: "If even the power of the Gate of Death cannot shake him in the slightest..."

"Then, even if the two of us go together, the result will likely be the same as the Seven Gates just now—meaningless and only increasing the sacrifices."

He pressed down hard on Xiao Li's shoulder and said firmly, "So, Li! Remember this!"

"If my attack fails... your task is not to continue the pointless charge!"

"Instead, they covered the Allied Forces' retreat, taking the heavily wounded Five Kage, Shisui, Itachi, and the others with them!"

"Preserve as much strength as possible, preserve the spark! Understand?! That's the more important task!"

Xiao Li could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed out like a flood bursting its banks.

He understood his teacher's meaning; it was the most rational, yet also the cruelest, choice.

To risk one's life to explore the path, to fight for that slim chance of survival for everyone, or... to preserve the last hope of retreat.

Looking into his teacher's resolute eyes, which seemed to burn with fire, he knew that any attempt to dissuade him would be futile.

He lowered his head abruptly, straining with all his might to keep his voice from breaking, and roared in a tearful voice, "Yes! Teacher Kai! I...I understand!"

Looking at his disciple's trembling shoulders, Akai's face revealed a smile that was a mixture of relief, pride, and farewell.
