"If even a clone is this powerful, what must the real body be like..."

Darui looked solemn.

Although it defeated Madara Uchiha's wood clone, its immense strength was truly astounding, even more so than when Madara Uchiha appeared in Kumogakure and killed the Fourth Raikage, nearly destroying the village.

Because at that time, Darui wasn't even qualified to participate in the battle.

Today, he actually played almost no significant role.

Although he possessed the Storm Release bloodline limit, it was almost useless against Madara Uchiha.

The earth's burrowing also created favorable terrain.

The Mizukage and Kazekage joined forces to break through Susanoo's defenses.

The difference in strength between the four Kage was immediately apparent in this battle.

Genichi Kishita, who was watching the battle from the mountain graveyard, was even more aware that there was indeed a huge gap between the five Kage. However, even a single wood clone of Madara Uchiha was not something that the five Kage could deal with alone at present.

Even if they join forces, they will be difficult to deal with.

The key to this battle lies with Hashirama Senju, who was resurrected using Edo Tensei.

Tobirama Senju was well aware of Madara Uchiha's strength, so he directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique as support.

At the same time, on the other side.

Minato Namikaze, Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Konan also managed to stop one of Madara Uchiha's wood clones.

Xiao Nan floated in the air like an angel.

Minato Namikaze's body was covered in a black chakra cloak, and he had black eyeshadow on his eyelids; he was in Zero-Tails Sage Mode.

Tsunade also activated the Sage Seal directly.

As the wet nurse, she should have been standing at the very back, but instead, she was standing at the very front.

Staring at Uchiha Madara, Tsunade didn't waste any words and immediately formed the Mudra Mudra with both hands.

Wood escape, the art of wood dragon!
The wooden dragon appeared directly on Madara Uchiha's body, opening its massive jaws to bite off Madara's head.

But the next moment, the wooden dragon collapsed and disintegrated, with pieces of wood scattering everywhere.

"Don't use such tricks, otherwise you won't have a chance."

Madara Uchiha slowly opened his mouth, and pieces of paper whistled down from the air.

Rumble!
A deafening roar filled the air, billowing smoke billowed, and flashes of fire illuminated the scene.

At the same time, Tsunade cast a spell, and a wooden doll rose up in front of her, then took heavy steps forward.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaped onto the head of the wooden dragon coiled around the wooden doll, raised one hand, and a giant shuriken appeared in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, lava spread rapidly across the giant shuriken, turning it completely red.

It was clear that Lava Release chakra had been attached to the shuriken.

Hiruzen Sarutobi threw the giant shuriken in his hand.

The giant shuriken, spinning rapidly in the air, quickly multiplied, turning from one into more than ten in an instant.

Multiple shuriken shadow clone techniques!

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Susanoo, in its simple muscular form, stood tall, with Madara Uchiha appearing on its forehead.

At that moment, numerous giant shuriken were already close at hand.

Susanoo raised his right arm and unleashed Susanoo Shinra Tensei!

One after another, shuriken flew through the air.

Numerous explosive tags rained down from the sky again. Madara Uchiha looked up and raised the left arm of his Susanoo.

All things are attracted by heaven!

Konan, who was in mid-air, suddenly lost control of her body and flew towards Susanoo.

But at that very moment, Minato Namikaze, who had been prepared all along, threw out his Flame Release: Zero Tail Black Style Purple Flame Rasenshuriken, which drew a beautiful arc and appeared to the side of Susanoo.

Immediately afterwards, Minato Namikaze appeared beside Konan in an instant, then led Konan away from the Bansho Ten'in's shroud and appeared beside Hiruzen Sarutobi on the top of the wooden dragon's head.

Madara Uchiha didn't have time to switch to the Rinnegan's abilities.

Eight thousand spear gods!

Just as the Rasenshuriken was about to hit Susanoo, three scarlet spears in a triangular shape suddenly appeared and collided with Minato Namikaze's Rasenshuriken from above.

Rumble~
With a roar, intense light erupted, instantly enveloping Susanoo.

Did it hit the target?

Konan asked.

Minato Namikaze shook his head: "Madara Uchiha reacted quickly, using Tetsuka Uchiha's eye technique."

He then asked Xiao Nan, "Did you succeed just now?"

Xiao Nan nodded: "No problem."

The light enveloping Susanoo rapidly receded, and the wooden golem had already arrived close.

At that moment, a dense array of scarlet spears appeared above the wooden figure's head.

Madara Uchiha activated his eye technique, Eight Thousand Spears, once again.

Rumble~
The earth sank from the bombardment, billowing smoke and dust.

However, the wooden figure appeared to the side of Susanoo, with a wooden dragon wrapped around its feet, and the wooden figure punched Susanoo in the head.

With a cracking sound, Susanoo's head split open and then exploded.

Madara Uchiha, seeing the massive fist hurtling towards him, once again unleashed Shinra Tensei.

boom!
The wooden figure's fist collided with an invisible repulsive force, causing air currents to circulate in all directions.

Madara Uchiha, who was in the air, flew backward and was about to reassemble Susanoo when a dense barrage of shuriken came whistling in.

This time, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't use giant shuriken, but rather normal shuriken, which were even denser and also imbued with Lava Release chakra.

Not only that, but a large number of papers also fell from the sky, obscuring Madara Uchiha's vision.

"Good cooperation!"

Madara Uchiha spoke, and seeing the explosive tags right in front of him, already burning and detonating, he opened his arms.

Shinra Tianzheng!

Whether it was the explosive tags or the dense rain of shurikens that followed, they were all deflected.

However, Minato Namikaze's Rasenshuriken came whistling in immediately after the Shinra Tensei ended.

Even Madara Uchiha didn't have time to use it again.

Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!

Madara Uchiha allowed the Rasenshuriken to hit him, buying himself a moment to use the Preta Path ability.

Bang!
The Rasenshuriken suddenly exploded in smoke, transforming into Tsunade: "Die!"

"what?"

Madara Uchiha was surprised, but Tsunade had already unleashed a punch.

This punch wasn't just about monstrous strength; at this moment, vines were wrapped around Tsunade's arm, like bundles of muscles, contracting and releasing with each punch, amplifying her power.

The fist rapidly magnified within Madara Uchiha's field of vision.

Shinra... Boom!

Madara Uchiha's Shinra Tensei had just been unleashed when it was shattered by Tsunade's punch, which then landed squarely on Madara's face.

Its head exploded, and the headless wooden body fell to the ground, kicking up dust.

However, the vines on Tsunade's arm also exploded instantly, followed by her flesh bursting open and blood splattering everywhere.

Tsunade landed immediately afterward, exhaled a breath of stale air, and then raised her left hand to wipe the bloodstains from her face.

"Tsunade, are you alright?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi and others appeared one after another.

Tsunade casually said, "It's just a minor injury; it will heal quickly."

Okay, it is indeed very fast.

As she spoke, the wound on Tsunade's right arm had already healed.

"Fourth Hokage, how are things in the other places?"

Tsunade asked.

Minato Namikaze deactivated Zero-Tails Sage Mode and smiled, "The other two places finished their battles before us."

"And Xuan Yi is already confronting Uchiha Madara."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a terrifying roar and tremor came from afar.

Tsunade and the other three immediately turned to look in the direction where the Six-Tails was.

Tsunade, whose Sage Seal was still active, immediately extended her senses and her expression changed: "It's the Ten-Tails!"

……

At the closest point to the Six-Tails, Itachi Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha, Tetsuka Uchiha in his Edo Tensei form, and Madara Uchiha controlling Izuna Uchiha, fought a battle between four Perfect Susanoo of different colors.

The battle was so fierce that the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The original jungle was turned into a white wasteland, with not a single blade of grass left.

Despite being under such control, Madara Uchiha was unable to use the Rinnegan's eye technique, Limbo: Border Jail.

Even the basic abilities of the Rinnegan, such as Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in, have a cooldown period due to the chakra limitations of the reanimated body.

However, the mere use of the Complete Body Susanoo, and the techniques such as Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in under the Complete Body Susanoo, left Itachi and his companions helpless.

Even though they are both complete Susanoo, their strengths differ.

It's not just about the amount of chakra, but also about an individual's mental will.

Madara Uchiha's Complete Susanoo is undoubtedly the strongest.

Next was Uchiha Shisui, then Uchiha Itachi, and the reanimated Uchiha Tetsuka was the worst, unable to take the final step of completely stabilizing his chakra.

This means that Uchiha Tekka's Susanoo was inferior to Uchiha Itachi and his group in terms of both defense and attack power.

And just as the four Susanoo were fighting.

Just as the Six-Tails, which had just been resurrected and appeared to be only the size of an adult, was still asleep, Zetsu emerged from the ground outside the barrier set up by Itachi and the others.

At this moment, the eyes on the half of the body possessed by Black Zetsu had been replaced with Rinnegan.

Although the Aloe Vera White Zetsu is one of the most powerful among the many White Zetsu, it still cannot withstand the power of a single Rinnegan.

However, if Black Zetsu is added, it would be enough to control it.

It may be difficult to unleash its full power, but it is not difficult to use it to summon demonic statues of heretics.

Thus, outside the barrier, under Black Zetsu's control, the Gedo Mazo was summoned.

"Roar!"

The demonic statue of the heretic roared, its sound deafening.

Uchiha Shisui and the other two turned around, their expressions changing drastically.

"You guys stop him, I'll go stop the heretical demon statue!"

Uchiha Shisui shouted and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.

At that moment, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path slapped down, and the barrier surrounding the Six-Tails burst open like a bubble. Ooyama Meets God!

Uchiha Shisui remotely activated the Mangekyou Sharingan, sealing the gigantic Gedo Mazo within the pyramid-shaped mountain.

However, in less than half a second, the pyramid's mountainside cracked open and then exploded.

The Gedo Mazo broke free, but the green Susanoo that was attacking was already close, and the Spiral Susanoo Sword was thrust out.

The Gedo Mazo turned around, raised its left hand, allowing the Spiral Susanoo to pierce its palm, but it also grabbed Uchiha Shisui's Spiral Susanoo. Then it raised its right arm, clenched its fist, and punched out.

Uchiha Shisui immediately clenched his fist and threw a punch in return.

boom!
The air exploded, and the shockwave surged and swept like the sea. Under Uchiha Shisui's shocked gaze, the arm of Susanoo collapsed and exploded. Then, the Spiral Susanoo Sword was released from his hand, and the huge Susanoo flew backward. Before it even hit the ground, Uchiha Shisui could no longer hold on, and the Susanoo collapsed and dissipated.

Uchiha Shisui landed on the ground, rolled several times before stopping, then turned pale and coughed up blood.

Not only was his Susanoo destroyed by a single punch from the Gedo Mazo, but he was also injured by the shockwave.

"So...so strong!"

Uchiha Shisui was shaken to his core.

If the Gedo Mazo is already this strong, how terrifying would it be if Madara Uchiha became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?
Gritting his teeth, Shisui Uchiha stood up and charged towards the Gedo Mazo.

At that moment, on the half of the body that was not occupied by Black Zetsu, black rods suddenly pierced outward from within.

Immediately afterwards, the half of the body occupied by Black Zetsu raised its arm and formed a hand seal with one hand.

The next moment, the Gedo Mazo opened its mouth, and with a whooshing sound, solidified chakra chains roared out from its mouth, encircling the Six-Tails' neck.

The sleeping Six-Tails was startled awake, roared, and its size rapidly expanded. It tried to break free of its chains but could not. Instead, it was pulled by the chains and flew towards the Gedo Mazo, where it was swallowed whole.

Bang!
The demonic statue vanished, leaving only scattered smoke.

"Too late!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately turned his gaze to Zetsu.

Kejue always slipped away quickly, and now only his head remained outside.

It's still a step too late.

With Black Zetsu and his group succeeding, Uchiha Izuna immediately retreated.

As Susanoo dissipated, Itachi Uchiha landed on the ground, panting heavily.

Although the eyes won't go blind because of the white blood cells, such a battle puts enormous pressure on both the body and mind.

Physical strength can be quickly replenished with highly concentrated nutrient solutions, but mental strength cannot.

Despite being resurrected through Edo Tensei, Uchiha Tetsuka remained calm and composed, frowning as he said, "The Six-Tails has already been taken by Uchiha Madara. This is troublesome."

Just as Itachi Uchiha was about to speak, several figures appeared not far away.

"elder brother!"

Uchiha Sasuke shouted.

"Sasuke, what brings you here?"

Itachi Uchiha asked, not surprised that he had seen his brother's Rinnegan.

Sasuke Uchiha, who had been watching his brother's expression closely, suddenly understood: "As expected, brother also knows that I possess the Rinnegan. In other words, these Rinnegan belong to... Lord Genichi?"

"And Uchiha Tekka, he wasn't surprised either."

When Sasuke Uchiha transplanted the Rinnegan, Tetsuka Uchiha had already been turned against him by Genichi Koushi using Kotoamatsukami.

However, what Sasuke Uchiha didn't notice was that Itachi Uchiha and Tetsuka Uchiha both subconsciously glanced at Naruto.

"We were notified by headquarters to come and provide support, but we were a step too late."

Kakashi answered Itachi Uchiha's question.

"senior."

Itachi Uchiha said, "We overlooked what was behind us."

Uchiha Shisui then returned: "I'm sorry, I couldn't stop it. The power of the Ten-Tails is beyond imagination."

Uchiha Tetsuka said, "Don't blame yourself. We just saw it too. Even the complete Susanoo was blown apart by a single punch. Only Master Genichi could do that before."

"what?"

Uchiha Sasuke was shocked.

The complete Susanoo was destroyed by a single punch?

Naruto's eyes widened, and Sakura exclaimed, "Only...only one punch?"

Uchiha Shisui nodded, his expression grave: "That shouldn't be the Ten-Tails' full power."

Kakashi was also somewhat shocked, but unlike Naruto and the others who were still inexperienced, he was somewhat prepared.

"It seems there's no way to stop Madara Uchiha from becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki now."

Kakashi said.

Naruto asked in confusion, "Isn't the Nine-Tails with Master Genichi?"

"There's another one, it's with Gaara."

Naruto's expression changed as he spoke: "Has Gaara already been...?"

Kakashi interrupted, "Gaara still has the One-Tailed Beast, but the previous One-Tailed Jinchuriki still possessed a portion of the One-Tailed Beast's chakra."

Uchiha Tetsuka continued, "And the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers from Kumogakure, although their One-Tail and Nine-Tail chakra are insufficient, they are still barely enough."

Naruto quickly asked, "Can Master Genichi defeat Madara Uchiha, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Uchiha Shisui smiled and said, "I believe Lord Genichi can do it!"

"And there's us, and everyone!"

He had absolute faith in Genichi Shushita.

At that moment, Yamanaka Inoichi's voice appeared in everyone's minds: "Everyone, please go and meet up with Genichi immediately!"

……

After obtaining the Six-Tails, Zetsu quickly sneaked back to the underground base beneath the Mountain Graveyard, then summoned the Gedo Statue again and swallowed the Gold and Silver Horn brothers whole.

At that moment, all the eyes on the Ten-Tails' head opened.

And on the ground.

Genichi Kishita smiled and congratulated Madara Uchiha: "Congratulations on taking down the Six-Tails!"

Madara Uchiha looked at Genichi under the tree: "You are indeed very confident."

That's what's strange about him.

Because Genichi Shushita is not a person without ties; he has not only a wife but also children.

According to his understanding, Genichi Shushita was not a heartless person.

Are we just going to sit idly by and watch him take down the Six-Tails just so that there is a powerful enough enemy?

As a person who values ​​emotions, Madara Uchiha felt that he shouldn't have such almost blind self-confidence.

In his view, once he becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Genichi Koushi will definitely be no match for him.

"Do you have any other trump cards up your sleeve?"

"That brat's Rinnegan?"

"There must be other Rinnegan?"

Madara Uchiha secretly speculated.

"However, the power of a regular Rinnegan is insufficient to change the situation!"

Madara Uchiha had the confidence to back it up.

When faced with Madara Uchiha's question, Genichi Kishita said, "Confidence is built up step by step, and it is based on sufficient strength."

Genichi, whose thoughts wandered, suddenly asked, "Ban, have you ever looked up at the starry sky?"

Madara Uchiha subconsciously looked up.

Although the sun has already set, the stars are still not visible.

Madara Uchiha withdrew his gaze: "Are you trying to say that my capacity is limited to the ninja world?"

Under the tree, Xuan Yi looked up at the sky and said, "No, I just feel that I am too insignificant. Even if I have the power to control the life and death of everyone on this planet at will, I am still not worth mentioning compared to the vast starry sky."

What lies hidden in the vast starry sky?

What lies beyond the stars?

"Also, Madara, have you ever wondered where the Ten-Tails came from?"

"Just as the nine tailed beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths using the chakra of the Ten-Tails, what about the Ten-Tails?"

Was it also created by humans?

"Or did it originally exist in this world? If so, it must have been born from a mother. But where is its mother?"

"And what about its mother's mother?"

Madara Uchiha's expression gradually became more and more interesting as he listened.

What on earth is this guy talking about?
Genichi Shushita withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said, "I'm sorry, but my recent research has uncovered a secret hidden in the long river of history."

"Hehe, history is like a doll, which can be dressed up however you like."

"Oh, I forgot, Ban, you don't seem to be very interested in women."

Madara Uchiha's eyes twitched uncontrollably. Just as he was about to speak, Zetsu emerged from underground: "Lord Madara, everything is ready!"

Across from him, Genichi Kishita watched as Madara Uchiha took the Rinnegan from Zetsu and replaced Tetsuka Uchiha's eyes, and said in a performance, "As expected, Genshiki Otsutsuki is cooperating with you!"

"I bet he told you he came from my lab, that he was cultivated by me, right?"

Madara Uchiha, now equipped with glasses, retorted, "Isn't that right?"

Black Zetsu looked at Genichi under the tree, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Genichi smiled meaningfully: "Indeed."

"But I think what he didn't tell you is that he also needs the Ten-Tails, right?"

Madara Uchiha said indifferently, "A very low-level tactic to sow discord."

Genichi shrugged: "But it's very efficient, isn't it?"

"Alright, let me see what the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki looks like!"

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow: "As you wish!"

Bang!
The Gedo Mazo appeared behind Madara Uchiha.

At this moment, if Black Zetsu had a heart, it would probably be leaping into his throat.

However, Genichi under the tree simply watched quietly.

The massive Gedo Mazo contracted and collapsed into Madara Uchiha's body, followed by changes in his physical form.

Black hair turned white, skin became whiter, and a ring of horns appeared on his forehead.

"Finally finished!"

Madara Uchiha made a grasping motion with his right hand, and a staff formed from Truth-Seeking Balls appeared. Behind him, one Truth-Seeking Ball after another condensed.
