Chapter 449: Kawakaze vs. Madara (Part 2)
"I'm honored that you take me so seriously."
This time, there was no hint of mockery in Kawakaze's words. His expression turned solemn.
After all, even when facing the massive Allied Shinobi Forces in the original events, Madara had fought them barehanded.
For him to bring out his weapons now—it was a sign of respect in its own way.
At the very least, it was an acknowledgment of Kawakaze's strength.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
Madara smirked, his once-handsome features now weathered by age.
Yet, despite the years, the overwhelming presence of a ruler—one who stood above all—remained undiminished.
"Then I won't hold back."
Kawakaze focused entirely, knowing that as long as he avoided direct eye contact with the Sharingan, he wouldn't fall into a Genjutsu trap.
The cave was once again illuminated as crimson markings reappeared at the corner of his eyes.
