----------
The figure flashed, and the general appeared in front of Uchiha Madara. Even with Uchiha Madara's sharp eyesight, he hadn't seen how the general crossed the space. It was as if he arrived at will, which horrified Uchiha Madara.
The general just raised his hand at this moment, without any extra movement, but to Uchiha Madara, it felt as if the sky itself was falling, the pressure immense.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, Uchiha Madara did not move at all, and the general's body flew back abruptly, as if struck by an invisible force.
But this was not the end. The general changed direction multiple times in mid-air, each time in an extremely abrupt and sudden way, as if repeatedly struck by unseen forces.
However, besides the general, there was no other figure present.
Ishigami Hara observed this, still smiling, for he understood the real reason behind this phenomenon.
Limbo!
Others couldn't see it, including Ishigami Hara, but in his perception, there were two inexplicable figures, as bright as lights and fireworks, demanding attention.
If an ordinary person endured such attacks, they would undoubtedly be severely injured, but the general, despite being continuously struck, remained unharmed.
To be precise, there were injuries, but they healed almost instantly, as though they had never existed.
Finally, under a particularly heavy blow, the general's body split into two parts at the waist, falling rapidly from mid-air.
Seeing this, Uchiha Madara finally exhaled a sigh of relief. Though he hadn't understood the exact nature of the pressure his opponent exerted, the fact that the general could be injured suggested that even he must have weaknesses.
But the next scene caused Uchiha Madara's pupils to shrink.
The two halves of the general's body, mid-fall, suddenly stopped. At that moment, the two halves reformed, each transforming into a complete figure identical to the original general, like twin brothers.
Swish!
The two identical generals rushed toward Uchiha Madara, attacking him once more with undiminished ferocity.
Bang!
Predictably, the two generals were sent flying again, their bodies cracking under the force.
But the same thing happened again; despite the devastating blows and any extent of damage, the generals' bodies regenerated in mere moments, as though untouched by harm.
What truly unsettled Uchiha Madara was the strange recovery state.
Just now, a general's arm had been broken, and when it regenerated, the severed arm itself squirmed, forming a body of its own and creating a third general.
In Uchiha Madara's observation, all three generals possessed identical auras, and even the chakra within their bodies remained undiminished. Unlike typical clones, which split chakra equally among copies, these generals shared the same chakra essence without any division.
This realization filled Uchiha Madara with an inexplicable sense of horror.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Limbo clones struck with relentless fury, each blow damaging or even cracking the general's body! Yet in this state, the generals only multiplied—growing from the original two to six in a single breath, with no indication of this trend slowing.
"Impossible!"
Uchiha Madara shouted, forming the tiger seal once more.
"Sage Art: Rain Release Light Fang!"
He opened his mouth, unleashing a laser-like beam that instantly sliced through the bodies of the six generals in front of him, reducing them to pieces that fell apart.
But the next outcome made Uchiha Madara's eyelid twitch slightly.
The broken bodies squirmed and regenerated into whole forms. Because they had been cut into so many pieces, the six generals transformed into twenty-eight beings.
Twenty-eight generals, identical in appearance, form, and chakra quantity, appeared with no differences whatsoever. This scene was strange beyond comprehension. Even the experienced Uchiha Madara felt a chill at that moment.
"I forgot to tell you."
Ishigami Hara watched calmly, only now smiling and speaking.
"He was created based on the traits of White Zetsu and the Tailed Beasts, combined with my understanding of chakra and ninjutsu."
"It's difficult to kill him through ordinary means."
"Perhaps his attack power is somewhat weak for you, but his survivability is unmatched in the entire Ninja World."
"As long as you can't kill him instantly, he will continue to exist."
As he spoke, Ishigami Hara raised two fingers, forming the tiger seal as well.
In the next moment, the twenty-eight generals raised their hands, mirroring his action. Their left eyes reflected the Tenseigan, while their right eyes displayed the Rinnegan—just like Ishigami Hara's own.
Uchiha Madara's expression shifted drastically as he saw the twenty-eight generals ignite in light green chakra flames. Behind each one, a special black sphere appeared.
That is… a Truth-Seeking Ball!
At that instant, Uchiha Madara realized the true source of the pressure he felt.
The twenty-eight figures before him were undoubtedly extraordinary. They were at a level comparable to his own, and while there was a chakra difference, their essence was essentially equal.
"This is impossible!"
Even Uchiha Madara felt his composure break.
He had worked tirelessly for years, meticulously planning to reach this pinnacle. Others couldn't understand the hardships he endured. Yet these artificial beings achieved such power effortlessly. How could he not be furious?
All his labor felt trivial compared to the effortless creations before him. Under such circumstances, satisfaction was out of the question.
"This is reality."
Ishigami Hara chuckled, and the twenty-eight generals raised their hands simultaneously, bright lights illuminating their palms.
"Please taste the Super Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
In the next instant, twenty-eight brilliant beams fell like long swords, descending upon Uchiha Madara.
