Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

boom! ! !
"That is."

"What a strong aura!"

"Can we really win?"

As Uchiha Madara's transformation special effects appeared, the entire island trembled under the aftermath of his terrifying power. The knights who were fighting stopped their actions one after another, with a series of expressions in their eyes, including curiosity, shock, fear, etc.

The dazzling white light slowly dissipated, and standing in front of Kakuzu was the ultimate fox god in white and red. There was a faint scarlet afterglow in its yellow compound eyes, which made people subconsciously look away timidly.

"Gudong~"

Kakuzu swallowed hard. Only by experiencing it firsthand could one understand the horror of Uchiha Madara. He regretted his impulsiveness a little.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world, so Kakuzu could only bite the bullet and move forward. The short blade in his hand did not hesitate like its owner, and was still extremely sharp.

"Bah~"

If this sword had been used on an ordinary ninja, he would have probably been skinned and torn to pieces. However, for Uchiha Madara, the exquisite sword swung by Kakuzu had no lethality at all. With a simple wave of his hand, the wind force from the air knocked him several meters away.

"cough cough"

Kakuzu, who blocked Uchiha Madara's casual attack, felt his chest churning. After landing, he looked down at his trembling arms with a bitter look.
"Master Divine Beast, please lend me a hand!"

At the critical moment, Kakuzu chose to seek help from Chongming Amen.
"There's no hope. Just wait to die~"

Nanami was already prepared to be humiliated by Kyuubi. After all, even if all eight of them were put together, they might not be a match for Kyuubi, let alone a mere caterpillar.

"If that's all, just cancel your transformation and admit defeat."

Uchiha Madara looked at the silent Kakuzu and shook his head slightly. He had no interest in an opponent of this level.

But unexpectedly, Kakuzu did not do so, but stood up and blocked Uchiha Madara, and the trembling short blade in his hand began to stabilize.
Frowning, Uchiha Madara instantly disappeared from the spot and moved at high speed. In just a blink of an eye, he was already standing behind Kakuzu and simply threw a punch.
"Oh!"

Sensing the destructive aura behind him, Kakuzu reacted quickly, drew his sword and stabbed it towards Uchiha Madara's wide-open ribs.
"It's done!"

Just when he thought his counterattack was successful, a hint of disdainful smile flashed across Uchiha Madara's mouth under his mask. He ignored the short blade stabbing at him and punched Kakuzu's back.

"Hey~"

"boom!"

Two voices rang out one after another, and Kakuzu's sharp short blade did not leave any marks on Uchiha Madara's armor.
But after taking a punch, Kakuzu smashed to the ground like a cannonball, instantly creating a big hole in the hard stage.

"puff!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of Kakuzu's masked mouth, and his body was firmly embedded in the ground.

"Senior Sword!"

If Mako could continue OMO at this time, it would be a real birth. She flashed and landed next to Kakuzu, stretched out her little hand and pulled out the Silver Knight who was deeply embedded in the ground.

"cough cough"

"Senior Jian, are you okay?"

"Hoo~ho~ho~"

Kakuzu, who had already suffered serious internal injuries, panted and pushed away Mako who was supporting him, bent down to pick up the short blade on the ground, turned around and limped towards Uchiha Madara.

"You still want to fight?"

Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows in surprise. This guy is indeed courageous.

"I haven't lost yet!"

As Kakuzu walked, he inserted the card into the slot at the end of the short blade.
"Absorb Queen! Fusion Jack!"

The golden light shone down, and Kakuzu, who was enveloped in it, began to walk more vigorously. A pair of insect wings spread out behind him, and the short blade in his hand turned into a long sword.

"Round 2! It's my turn to attack!"

Kakuzu successfully upgraded and instantly recovered from the injuries he had just suffered. The long sword in his hand emitted a cold light, and he spread his wings behind him and rushed towards Uchiha Madara at an extremely fast speed.

"This is the more realistic move~"

Sensing Kakuzu's current aura, which was several times stronger than before, Uchiha Madara's mind moved, and the light particles in his hand condensed, and in the blink of an eye, a blade gun appeared.
"Bah!"

The two weapons collided with each other, making a sharp explosion. The air wave generated by the collision almost blew away Ohnoki who was flying in the air to avoid the ice blade.

"That guy can actually be on par with Uchiha Madara?"

Ohnoki steadied himself and blinked in surprise. As a man who had been ravaged by Uchiha Madara several times, he knew how terrifying the other party was.
"Bah!"

"Snapped!"

"Oh!"

With the speed boosted by his wings, Kakuzu could barely keep up with Uchiha Madara's movements, but the long sword in his hand was easily blocked by the opponent many times, and his mentality gradually changed.

"Boom!"

Finally, Kakuzu's torrential attack finally showed a flaw when he was distracted. Uchiha Madara, who had almost finished playing, raised his hand and stabbed simply, ending the "exciting" battle.

Kakuzu was unable to dodge and was knocked out again. After he fell to the ground, his face looked a little grim.
"Are you kidding me?" "I'm just kidding idiots~"

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Madara actually nodded, which made Kakuzu's eyes black with anger. Fortunately, he still had the energy he had cultivated over the years, and he knew that he could not be swayed by the other party's words.

"Huh~ The world is so beautiful, but you are so irritable. Is that good? This is not good!"

After a period of self-discipline, Kakuzu regained his spirits, brandished his golden sword, and rushed towards Uchiha Madara again.

"But now I'm tired of playing."

Facing the aggressive Kakuzu, Uchiha Madara just shook his head slightly, and the blade spear in his hand burst out with several fiery red lights, shooting towards the approaching Kakuzu.

Boom! Boom!
Along with a loud explosion, thick black smoke enveloped the entire venue. When the smoke settled, Kakuzu, who had degenerated into a silver-white basic form, was lying in a big pit with smoke coming out of his body. If it weren't for his red compound eyes that still had a spark, Uchiha Madara would have been ready to start the feast.

"Da~da~da~"

After transforming the blade gun back into light particles, Uchiha Madara walked past Kakuzu and headed towards the direction where Mako was hiding. However, before he had taken a few steps, he found that his feet were grabbed by someone.
"what?"

Looking down at the big hand grasping his calf, Uchiha Madara frowned, then spoke lightly,

"Is it worth it? You clearly have no desire to fight."

"Cough cough."

Uchiha Madara could feel from the beginning of the battle that the man under his feet had never thought about a real fight. Perhaps the only thing that motivated him was the money promised by the woman.

"Ahem. I don't have any dreams, but I can protect the dreams of others."

"Although the lines are mixed up, I won't watch this year's Top Ten Touching Ninja Figures and National Model Workers~"

Standing up tremblingly, Kakuzu's voice revealed a kind of unshakable belief. The power generated by this belief made Uchiha Ginto, who had been watching the battle, look at him sideways.

"That's a good point. I can spare your life."

Except in necessary situations, Uchiha Madara is not a bloodthirsty person, so even if Kakuzu kept pestering him, he had no intention of hurting anyone's life, especially since this guy seemed to have some extraordinary beliefs and was considered a character.

"Senior Sword!"

Just when Uchiha Madara was about to raise his hand to push Kakuzu away, Mako's figure appeared between the two of them like a ghost. This time the roles were reversed, and she was the one protecting the seriously injured Kakuzu.

"Ahem, idiot! What are you doing? You are the employer. If you die, who should I ask for money?"

Kakuzu, who was slowly recovering from the power of the Seven-Tails, looked at Mako standing in front of him, and was so angry that veins on his head were throbbing.
"Senior Jian, just rest and recover. Leave the rest to me. I'm very strong~"

Turning around, he showed his muscles to the exasperated Kakuzu. Mako turned around, and the innocent look on her face was gone. Her serious expression made Uchiha Madara feel like he was seeing a female version of a hot mom.
"You have a funny guy in you."

The scarlet eyes under the mask had already seen through Mako in front of him. Of course, it was not the kind of vulgar clarity that the white eyes showed, but he could see clearly the monster hidden in her body.

"Uchiha Madara has found that woman. She is doomed. She is an ordinary person, but she insisted on participating in such a battle."

The knights who were unaware of the truth shook their heads regretfully as they looked at Mako who was confronting Uchiha Madara. In their opinion, any woman who was not a Tailed Beast Knight had mistakenly entered this battle of the century, and her final outcome would probably be nothing more than death.

"Is it interesting? I think it's quite troublesome, and it also does nasty and bad things secretly."

Mako curled her lips when she heard that, and then, in front of everyone's surprised gazes, she took out a gray driver of the same model as theirs from her small bag on her back.

"what?"

"What? Baka Leng!"

"Apart from the nine tailed beasts, are there other secret tailed beasts that are unknown to the public?"

For a moment, all the knights stopped their actions tacitly and stared at Mako who was buckling the driver around her slender waist, their colorful compound eyes filled with curiosity.

After Mako fastened the driver, she slowly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, a tyrannical look that frightened everyone emanated from her beautiful eyes. Then, a scarlet card filled with a man-eating aura appeared in her hand.

"I've never seen this guy before. He doesn't look like a tailed beast."

Kinkaku, who was well-versed in the Tailed Beasts, frowned as he looked at the ferocious monster on the card in Mako's hand.
"Old Eight, do you know that guy?"

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the Golden Horned Field asked for help from the Eight-Tails. These tailed beasts have lived for so many years and are knowledgeable. They should recognize that monster.

"So Chongming wasn't bragging?"

The Eight-Tails stared blankly at Mako who was pushing the scarlet card into the drive, and recalled Shigeaki's boasting in the Tailed Beast chat room many years ago, saying that he and the old man had fought for eight hundred rounds against a monster that the old man hadn't destroyed. They sneered and thought it was just a caterpillar daydreaming.

"Stop playing dumb. What on earth is it?"

Seeing that Eight-Tail knew this monster, Kinkaku couldn't help but urge him.

"It's Satoru, a youkai that feeds on humans."

In the spectator booth, Chiyo rubbed her big eyes frantically. She had worked hard to collect information on all the knights, but she never thought that she would miss one. Then she asked Shenhuo who was standing beside her with a distressed look on his face,

"Your wife can transform, too? She's a knight too?"

"Knight? No, Mako prefers to call himself that."
