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

Seeing Uchiha Madara flaunt his hard-earned original ninjutsu, Senju Hishi was so angry she felt like her lungs were about to explode.

"You despicable old Uchiha, how dare you steal the Flying Thunder God Technique!"

As everyone knows, she is the only known user of the Flying Thunder God Technique in the ninja world.

Madara Uchiha, that inherently evil old man, must have stolen her unique secret technique through underhanded means.
Without glancing at the stomping Senju Hisana, Madara Uchiha shook his head dismissively.

"Stealing knowledge? You're not worthy!"

While the Flying Thunder God Technique is quite convenient, Madara Uchiha wasn't really interested in learning it.

When it comes to showing off, he has a million ways to surpass the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"Still quibbling!"

"You guys, come out and explain to her."

To completely dissuade Senju Hisama from giving up, Uchiha Madara didn't waste any time and directly summoned the Nine-Tails.

"White Hair, this isn't your Flying Thunder God."

The Nine-Tails emerged from Madara Uchiha's left shoulder.
"What else could it be but the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

Seeing the Nine-Tails being taken away by Madara Uchiha, Hishi Senju felt as if she were being torn apart.
We promised to grow old together, but you two secretly got hair treatments.

"Hey hey hey, this is a new skill we just mastered, called Tailed Beast Flash Bomb."

Yin Jiuwei, its head protruding from its right shoulder, said with a sly grin,
"Bullshit! I'm not blind. Don't think I won't recognize you just because you changed the color of your original skin."

"believe it or not."

The two nine-tailed foxes simultaneously curled their lip in unison, their uniform disdain nearly making Senju Hishima faint from anger.
"Miss Hisana, we're all family anyway, so it doesn't matter who uses it~"

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Uchiha Kagami stepped in to mediate.

In his view, everyone is from the same village, and helping each other is basic practice.
"Who's...family with this bastard?"

Enraged, Senju Hisa glared fiercely at Kagami, who was trying to curry favor with her.
Just as she was about to retort, an image involuntarily surfaced in her mind: a little sister nestled in curly hair, smiling happily.

"……never mind."

Consider Flying Thunder God as an advance payment for the dowry.

During the brief pause in Madara Uchiha's conversation, Kinkaku and the others, having caught their breath, gathered together.
"Cough cough cough..."

"Second Brother, are you okay?"

Xi looked at Silver Horn, whose mouth was bleeding, with a face full of worry.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury... *pfft*... that's all."

Madara Uchiha's palm strike was incredibly powerful; even now, Ginkaku's internal organs haven't been fully repaired by the tailed beast's chakra.
"This is a tricky problem."

Golden Horn, covered in dust and dirt, frowned deeply.
He had assumed that after so many years, Madara Uchiha, now over fifty, would have already begun to decline in strength.
Unexpectedly, his combat power grew stronger with each battle, and his appearance showed no signs of aging.

"Lord Raikage, there's no need to talk about chivalry with this kind of guy. Let's all attack together!"

Despite being the only outsider among them, Onoki spoke with no air of awkwardness whatsoever.

A slippery fellow.

Kinkaku glanced at Onoki indifferently; how could he not know what the guy was thinking?
But now that Kumogakure and Iwagakure are in the same boat, it's impossible for him to remain uninvolved.

"We must not act rashly; we must have a meticulous plan."

Golden Horn shook his head, his eyes filled with thought.

The Uchiha Madara they are now facing is a well-rounded warrior with maxed-out offense, defense, and speed; he has absolutely no weaknesses.
Thinking of this, a look of despair appeared on Golden Horn's face.
Calculations show that the winning probability is zero.

"You brat, you always cause trouble for others."

Turning to look at his bewildered junior brother, Golden Horn couldn't help but give him a sharp rap on the head.
"I just wanted to share some of your burdens, Senior Brother, but I didn't expect..."

Knowing he had committed a grave error, Xi's eyes were filled with remorse. If he hadn't been so greedy for merit and naively believed Onoki's instigation, Kumogakure wouldn't have fallen into such a passive situation.
"Sigh, it's too late to say anything now. Let's just give it our all."

Seeing that his junior brother had realized his mistake, Golden Horn sighed, and the gloom in his eyes vanished.

“I’ll draw their attention, Silverhorn will harass them from a distance, and Xi, you go find an opportunity to sneak up on him.”

Time was of the essence, so everything had to be kept simple. After Jinjiao finished outlining the tactics in one sentence, they got into position and prepared to charge out.
"Wait! I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"

"You? You'll be the one to launch the decisive blow!"

"What?"

"At a time like this, let's stop using tired old jokes. We'll create opportunities for you, and the task of being the main attacker is now in your hands."

Glancing at Onoki, who was trying to reveal his secret, Kinkaku waved his hand, transforming into a dazzling bolt of lightning as he charged towards Uchiha Madara.
"You still dare to come?"

After confronting Senju Hiiragi, Uchiha Madara raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.
In Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Kinkaku's speed far surpassed the Body Flicker Technique, but Madara Uchiha could still clearly see his movement trajectory.
Swish!
Madara Uchiha once again unleashed a miraculous ninjutsu called the Tailed Beast Flash Bomb, pronounced as Flying Thunder God, easily dodging Kinkaku's lightning charge with a swift movement.
"Fire Rat!"

As soon as he landed, Ginkaku, who had been waiting for a long time, leaped up, shook his body, and unleashed a barrage of eerie blue fireballs that rained down on Madara Uchiha's head.

"It's a waste of effort."

Shaking his head dismissively, Madara Uchiha vanished in a flash of golden light.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in another direction, but before he could utter any more threats, he discovered that the fireballs that had landed had transformed into strange, furry balls, which, with their short legs, relentlessly chased after him.
"Fox Claw!"

Madara Uchiha raised his hand and flicked it, his golden claws tearing at the fur ball.
"boom!"

Flames shot skyward, and thick smoke billowed from the explosion.

"Heavy flow storm!"

Kinkaku's attacks came one after another, his elbow, crackling with lightning, aimed hard at Madara Uchiha's head.

"Humph!"

This time, instead of dodging, he raised his elbow and retaliated.

"Oh!"

Two arms, one large and one small, collided, making a teeth-grinding sound.
"what!"

Jinjiao felt a terrifying, brute force enter his body; his muscular elbow twisted irregularly, and in excruciating pain, he couldn't help but scream.
"You've chosen the wrong opponent to compete with me in strength."

Madara Uchiha sneered as he watched Kinkaku fly backward.
After awakening the power of Wood Release, as a bonus, Madara Uchiha received the same superhuman strength as Hashirama Senju.

He could easily knock out a tailed beast with a single punch, let alone a mere hostage.
Sharingan + Wood Release + Tailed Beast + Super Strength + ...

Madara Uchiha couldn't even fathom how strong he truly was.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, as Madara Uchiha was lost in thought, he felt a tightness in his anus, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a black bolt of lightning.

"what!"

Taking advantage of the excellent opportunity created by his two senior brothers, he hoped to flank from behind and deliver a fatal blow.
He poured all his strength into his hand chop, his rough skin covered in dense black lightning, as if he had awakened the Armament Haki from the neighboring house.
"Super! Absolutely terrifying level!"

"Bah!"

Feeling pleased that he had successfully hit his target, Xi's face lit up with joy, but the firm feel of his hand made him suspicious.
Why is Madara Uchiha's anus so hard?
Shouldn't red or yellow substances be spraying out of the wound?
A series of questions surfaced in his mind, and before Xi could see clearly, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.
"what!?"

"Luckily, I usually pay attention to protecting my back, otherwise I would have been caught off guard by you."

Madara Uchiha, gripping Hijiri's wrist, looked visibly shaken.
Fortunately, over the years he has always kept his older cousin's advice in mind, never forgetting to monitor what's behind him.
"Let go of Xi!"

Seeing the contorted face of Hii, Ginkaku shouted and transformed into lightning, charging towards Uchiha Madara.

"You want it? Here you go."

He didn't own any cotton fields, so he wasn't bothered by the size of the prison. Since Silver Horn was so important, he didn't hesitate and simply tossed it over.

"Oh!"

Silver Horn and Xi collided in mid-air, both spitting out a mouthful of blood as they fell.

Seeing this, Jinjiao disregarded treating his injured arm and leaped to catch the two falling.
The three brothers rolled around on the ground several times, looking utterly disheveled. "A family should be together all the time."

Nodding solemnly, Madara Uchiha looked down at the three of them and said...
"Surrender! There is no shame in losing to the invincible me."

"How can we repair..."

Young and impetuous, Xi gritted her teeth and stood up despite the aches and pains all over her body.

"I haven't lost yet!"

"These kids these days are getting more and more rude."

Madara Uchiha raised his hand with displeasure, preparing to teach this arrogant brute a lesson.
"Xi! Don't say anything more."

Lying on the ground, Jinjiao's eyes were wide open in fury, and his hoarse voice was full of urgency.

On the other side, Gintoki also looked worried.

Upon witnessing this scene, Madara Uchiha paused in his actions, a look of realization dawning on his face.
In that instant, a hint of joy flashed in Kinkaku's eyes. He raised his gaze upwards, and Onoki, who was poised to attack in mid-air, instantly understood.
"Dust Escape·The Art of Original Realm Peeling!"

A giant, white cube with golden horns suddenly appeared, enveloping the stunned Uchiha Madara within it.
"Cousin!"

Uchiha Kagami cried out in surprise as he unleashed the Body Flicker Technique, his Blood-Drinking Sword striking the outer shell of the Dust Release technique precisely.

"boom!"

However, ordinary physical attacks were no match for the Bloodline Limit, and he could only watch helplessly as Madara Uchiha was engulfed in the smoke and dust of the molecular explosion.

"Success!"

Mid-air, Onoki's face lit up with wild joy; he had actually defeated the legendary Dark One of the Ninja World.
Rumble~
One explosion after another rang out. Mirror closed his eyes in despair, and when he opened them again, they had turned into scarlet eyes.
There is still hope!

The image of Izanagi, which he had previously envisioned, still resided in his eyes, capable of rewriting the reality of Madara Uchiha's annihilation.

"Illusion Technique: Izana..."

Without hesitation, Uchiha Kagami quickly formed hand seals, fearing that a moment's delay might hinder Uchiha Madara's resurrection.

"Da~"

At this critical moment, a large hand landed on Uchiha Kagami's shoulder.

"This technique cannot be used carelessly."

"Uncle! You're not dead?"

Uchiha Kagami turned around in surprise, looked at Uchiha Madara whose clothes were slightly dirty, and asked excitedly,

"Boom!"

"You bastard, you're dead but I'm not!"

After giving the other a sharp rap on the head, Madara Uchiha scolded him with exasperation.

"How did you get out? Even the Flying Thunder God Technique couldn't have reacted to Dust Release."

With a complicated expression, Senju Hisajin approached, her ruby-like eyes filled with curiosity.
"I've told you several times, this isn't the Flying Thunder God Technique. Now you should believe me, right?"

Glancing at Senju Hisana, Madara Uchiha, who seemed completely unfazed by the plagiarism, explained again,

What does the Nine-Tails' theft have to do with me, Madara Uchiha?

"how is this possible?"

Onoki, suspended in mid-air, was equally astonished, but before he could remain in shock, Madara Uchiha, who disliked holding grudges, suddenly attacked.

"You little dwarf, get down here!"

Golden chakra transformed into several tentacles, which grabbed Onoki, who was trying to escape.
"boom!"

With a loud bang, Onoki's plane successfully crashed.
"You guys worked together pretty well, but unfortunately your opponent is me."

Looking at the disheveled state of the group, Madara Uchiha gently shook his head.
The group worked together fairly well; if it were me in the past, I probably would have gotten seriously injured.
The "before" here specifically refers to Madara Uchiha before he became a Tailed Beast Rider.

His blue plastic bag alone was hardly enough to defend against the repeated attacks from the people here.

"Cough cough cough... We lost."

Looking at his severely injured teammates lying on the ground, Jinjiao's face showed a look of defeat.
Madara Uchiha's power is undeniable; they are no match for him now.

"Damn it, if only I could use the Knight's Power..."

Xi, who had fallen to the ground, raised his head and said with a face full of indignation,
"Oh? What gave you the illusion that you can defeat me with the power of a knight?"

Madara Uchiha, who was pondering how to deal with his defeated opponents, looked up upon hearing this, his eyes full of mockery as he gazed at the unconvinced Hii.
"Just because you almost lost to the weakest knight."

Shamen: Achoo! Who's chirping me again?

"Boy, do you know what you're talking about?"

Madara Uchiha's eyes instantly turned extremely dangerous.
For so many years, all the knights have tacitly kept quiet about this matter.

But this guy, Xi, dared to bring it up again in front of him.
"Damn it! He's just a child!"

The Silver and Gold Brothers turned green with rage. Ignoring their injuries, they grabbed their outspoken junior brother and pleaded with Uchiha Madara for mercy.

"Mmm...you're the ones who told me all this!"

"Snapped!"

Golden Horn raised his hand and slapped Xi across the face, making him see stars.

"I think you just hit your head and it's all messed up, even your deadpan mouth is acting up now."

"Second Senior Brother! Eldest Senior Brother hit me!"

With her lips swollen like sausages, Xi looked at Gintoki, who usually doted on her the most, with a wronged expression.

"He's saving your life. Think about your unborn child before you speak."

Silver Horn slowly lowered his belated slap, shaking his head as he explained,

"Can……"

"Shut up!"*2
Madara Uchiha silently watched the three fellow disciples interacting, and after a long while, he suddenly spoke.
"Since you feel you lost unfairly, let's start another game."

"what?"

The group of people, not understanding what was going on, blinked in confusion.
"No need?"

Golden Horn waved his hand stiffly; this freak probably hadn't had enough fun and was preparing to kick them around like balls again.

“This time, I will allow you to use the driver.”

"what!?"

These words stunned not only the Silver and Gold Brothers, but also Mirror and Senju Hisashi from Konoha.

"Uchiha Madara, if you want to die, don't drag us into it."

When it came to the Knights' ban, Golden Horn abandoned his previous humble demeanor and spoke in a stiff tone.
"This is a serious violation of regulations."

"This is war. Do you know how much trouble your actions will cause Konoha?"

Senju Hisa flashed forward, her slender fingers almost poking Uchiha Madara's face.
"Go back and copy the Knight's Decree ten thousand times."

"How did I violate the knighthood?"

With a blank expression, Madara Uchiha brushed aside Senju Hisami's angry little hand, glanced around at the surrounding knights, and spoke in a condescending tone.
"No one understands the Knight's Code better than me." (End of Chapter)
