Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

The feud between the Nine-Tails and the Eight-Tails can be traced back a thousand years. Back then, the Nine-Tails, relying on the favor of the Sage of Six Paths, did not regard the other tailed beasts as beasts, and bullying them in the workplace was commonplace.

Eight-tailed Fox is the main target of Nine-tailed Fox's suppression.

What level are you, you mediocre guy?

How dare they rank below me?

This led the amphibious Ox-Demon to ultimately choose to go to sea in order to escape the Nine-Tailed Fox's humiliation.

This period of peace did not last long. The reincarnated brothers Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju suddenly appeared, allowing the Tailed Beasts to have a long-awaited friendly exchange once again. The Eight-Tails once again faced the Nine-Tails, and it ended in a miserable defeat.

However, the Eight-Tails was not always on the defensive. In their most recent battle, the Eight-Tails and the Two-Tails, with the help of the Knight System, finally managed to turn the tide and successfully defeat the Nine-Tails' Kunkun, a great victory worth remembering.

"Human, I'll grant you anything if you just kill this stupid bull!"

In Madara Uchiha's mind, the Nine-Tails, trembling with excitement, spoke through gritted teeth, its aggressive attitude a stark contrast to its previous submissive state.

"Are you ordering me around?"

Slowly opening his crimson eyes, Madara Uchiha glanced indifferently at the Nine-Tails sprawling before him, his voice unusually cold.

"No, no, I just wanted to ask you a tiny favor. Aren't we in a business relationship?"

Sensing the extremely cold and sinister power in its eyes, Kurama instinctively shrank its tail and covered its mouth full of sharp teeth, behaving very obediently.

"Cooperation? You're nothing but a dog I keep."

Madara Uchiha shook his head dismissively.

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was instantly enraged. To think that it, the King of the Tailed Beasts and the Sage of Six Paths' most beloved pet, was being treated like a dog by this brat!

He's going to take this to the Pure Land!

"Um?"

"Woof~"

Forget it, this kid is the reincarnation of Indra, which rounds up to the old man's son. It's not shameful for him to be his dog.

"Uchiha Madara, the candidate for the Second Hokage of Konoha, right?"

Kinkaku crossed his arms, his expression still ferocious, but his tone of voice was much better than when he faced Tobirama Senju.

"He'll be officially promoted soon."

Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about? Madara Uchiha has been a candidate for Hokage for over a decade, his probationary period longer than most people's terms. But if he wins this match and rescues Hasi, he can rightfully take office!

"What a coincidence, I'll be close too, but I'll be the third generation."

For some reason, Kinkaku, who had no prejudice against Uchiha Madara and even had some affection for him, actually started chatting with him casually.

"Are we that close?"

Looking at the fleshy-faced Golden Horn, Madara Uchiha frowned. Including their meeting before the start of the competition, they had only met twice. They shouldn't be that familiar with each other, right?

Could this muscular hunk be naturally muscular?

"No, but I think you're a good person."

Kinkaku shook his head. The mere mention of the Uchiha clan was enough to earn the respect of his brothers. After all, the Hagoromo clan was only able to survive with the help of the Uchiha clan.

"Saying all this is useless; I won't hold back."

Feeling bewildered, Madara Uchiha looked at Kinkaku, who was radiating a strange kind of goodwill, with suspicion and issued a stern warning.

"Our goal in coming here isn't to win the championship, but if you'd like to have a friendly match, I'd be happy to oblige."

Kinkaku knew that the person in front of him was Uchiha Gin's younger brother. Although he was a cousin, he was still a younger brother, wasn't he?

Not wanting to spoil the mood of his benefactors, the worldly-wise Kinkaku lowered his hands and instead took out a gray driver from his backpack, while simultaneously pulling out a card that shimmered with golden light.

"Oshioni! Eight-tailed Oshioni! A domineering water buffalo!"

He skillfully pushed the card into the slot, and an electronic sound from his belt rang out. Jinjiao moved his left hand in front of him, making a claw shape, and spoke in a very deep voice.

"henshin!"

"Zombie! Ready Fight!"

Thick black ink gushed from the driver, pouring it all over the purple bull-head armor that appeared out of nowhere. The domineering bull-demon rider appeared before everyone.

"So that's the strongest tailed beast rider in Kumogakure? He seems pretty strong."

In the stands, Akimichi Torifu, holding a cup of milk tea and strutting around, couldn't help but feel a little worried as he watched Uchiha Madara face the domineering purple-horned knight.

"According to intelligence, the Eight-Tailed Rider has a 100% mission completion rate and has never failed."

Mitokado Homura adjusted his glasses and shared the information he had recalled with his companions.

"Ah? What about the clan chief?"

Uchiha Kagami's heart tightened upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, Madara Uchiha is also 100%."

Tobirama Senju, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, his eyes falling on the burly figure of Kinkaku, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

"Little Jin Jin, if your opponent is him, you can't let your guard down."

After Golden Horn successfully transformed, the Eight-Tailed Fox in his sea of ​​consciousness looked solemnly at the white fox knight before him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Shouldering the massive blade filled with sharp teeth, Golden Horn strode confidently forward.

The battle was about to begin. Madara Uchiha, seeing Kinkaku slowly approaching, didn't hesitate. He flicked his spear, sending several laser beams at extremely tricky angles towards the purple-clad bull knight, who was wide open.

"Whoosh~"

"Crackling! Crackling!"

The laser struck its target without any doubt, producing a piercing explosion upon impact with the golden horn armor, instantly sending up a cloud of gray smoke.

Madara Uchiha frowned, sensing that things weren't that simple.

"Crunch~ Crunch~"

The unharmed purple knight seemed to have been unharmed and continued to move swiftly. Seeing this, Madara Uchiha's long-suppressed fighting spirit burst forth. He flicked his wrist, transforming his weapon into a sword, and charged towards Kinkaku.

"I hope you don't end up like those two, starting strong but finishing weak."

Brandishing his longsword, Madara Uchiha's slightly excited voice reached everyone's ears.

Kinkaku grinned. He certainly wouldn't disappoint Mr. Gin's brother. He shrugged, raised his menacing, jagged blade with one hand, and faced the menacing Uchiha Madara.

The purple knight, though seemingly clumsy, possessed incredible agility; the massive blade, which appeared to be immensely heavy, moved with effortless ease in his hands.

"Bang!"

The weapons clashed, producing a piercing sound. Madara Uchiha felt the immense force from the longsword, and the fighting spirit in his eyes burned even brighter.

"Alright, alright, you're qualified to dance too!"

"You're not bad either, much better than that white-haired guy who hides his head and tail."

"Hehe~"

Kinkaku's words struck a chord with Madara Uchiha. He found the grotesque muscular man in front of him much more agreeable, and his imposing manner was no longer as overbearing as before.

"Whoosh!"

The two men, armed with weapons, exchanged blows before retreating to create distance, indicating that their strength was evenly matched.

"Give it your all!"

Upon landing, Madara Uchiha patted the fox belt buckle at his waist, and the Nine-Tails inside immediately activated its chakra supply.

"Come on~"

The surging power of the tailed beast erupted instantly, enveloping Madara Uchiha in the blink of an eye. As fiery red patterns appeared on his body, his enhanced form, empowered by the Nine-Tails, made its debut.

"Oh dear~ I knew something was off before, turns out that Nine-Tails cut corners~"

Uchiha Gin, who was happily watching the match from the stands, witnessed his younger cousin's entire level-up process, and then suddenly realized what had happened and slapped his forehead.

Originally, Madara Uchiha's Nine-Tails Knight form only had scattered red markings. Now that they are filled in, it is the true Great Fox God form!

"Again!"

The feeling of being filled with power made Madara Uchiha extremely excited. His eyes under his mask began to turn crimson, and three mysterious tomoe slowly rotated within them, suddenly increasing his aura several times over.

"It can even make you stronger."

Seeing the even more magnificent appearance of Uchiha Madara, Kinkaku frowned, but before he could react, the white and red knight had already stood in front of them, his longsword flashing with a dazzling blue light, and slashed down towards his face.

Unable to dodge in time, Golden Horn reacted optimally in a split second, gripping the serrated greatsword with both hands and raising it high in an attempt to block the earth-shattering blow.

"Bang!"

"puff!"

The longsword, wreathed in blue light, struck the serrated greatsword with a deafening roar. The brute force caused Golden Horn, who was holding the weapon, to cough up a mouthful of blood.

So strong!

Jinjiao felt a surge of blood and qi in his chest, and the greatsword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp. Fortunately, Uchiha Madara withdrew the sword in time, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

"Weren't you being pretty tough just now? Why are you changing your tune now?"

Madara Uchiha, having evolved into his complete form as the Fox God, looked at Golden Horn, whose mask was oozing blood from its mouth, and spoke calmly.

"I admit, you are the strongest knight I have ever met, but you're still a bit short of making me admit defeat."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Golden Horn felt his blood boiling; this was the warlike instinct deep within his veins.

"We, the Feathered Robe Clan, are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths!"

Golden Horn's soaring fighting spirit successfully activated his bloodline power. The driver at his waist sensed this power and quickly materialized it.

"What is that?"

Everyone present stared blankly at the Golden Horn radiating a dazzling light, while Uchiha Gin wore a thoughtful expression.

Not only did the Golden Horn Prison perform card-swiping on the spot, but they also swung a big one.

Although in the original Naruto manga, only the Uchiha and Senju clans are considered prominent descendants of the Six Paths, and the plot revolves around them.

However, the Silver and Gold Brothers, who have only appeared a few times, are also genuine descendants of the Six Paths who have reverted to their ancestral ways, and the power in their bloodline should not be underestimated.

The power from the concubine's son~

"This force."

Madara Uchiha looked at Kinkaku, who had raised his arm, with surprise. The aura emanating from Kinkaku gave him a very familiar feeling, and the faint throbbing in his blood seemed genuine.

"Phew~"

The light quickly faded, and everyone then saw that Golden Horn, panting heavily, had a gleaming golden card in his raised hand.

"My ancestors, I will not let you down!"

Looking at the gleaming gold card in his hand, a fanatical look appeared on Kinkaku's face. He then inserted it into the other slot of the driver.

"I will defeat all the Tailed Beast Riders!"

"Zombie!"

"Zombie!"

"Hit Fever Zombie~"

The silver horns began to grow longer and thicker, tinged with a dazzling gold. A cloak symbolizing power extended from its back, a half-gold skirt appeared around its waist, the armor on its legs became thicker, and an orange tentacle, the same as its left hand, appeared on its right foot.

Although the changes in appearance were not many, the aura emanating from Golden Horn was several times deeper than before. He slowly raised his yellow compound eyes, and the fighting spirit in his eyes was almost tangible.

"Yay! Little Jinjin, you did it!"

The Eight-Tails witnessed the entire process of Kinkaku purifying his bloodline power and clapped his hands in celebration.

As a tailed beast created by the Sage of Six Paths, how could Gyūki not be familiar with this aura? This is the power unique to Hagoromo Otsutsuki. It is truly remarkable that Kinkaku, as a descendant of the concubine's lineage, could maintain this power so purely.

"Not bad strength, but not even a fraction of mine."

Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes. He felt a faint, deep-seated disgust for the power unleashed by Kinkaku's sudden awakening, like the disdain a legitimate son would have for a illegitimate one. He then raised his white longsword.

"I will end this game."

Looking at the incredibly arrogant Uchiha Madara, Kinkaku also raised his greatsword.

"Don't think you're so great just because you have two useless bull horns on your head!"

The white figure vanished like lightning, and the next moment, a longsword wrapped in blue light slashed at Golden Horn once more.

But this time was different. Faced with the attack that had been so difficult to withstand, Golden Horn did not choose to block with his greatsword. Instead, he straightened his chest and let the white longsword strike him.

"Snap!"

A sickeningly loud sound rang out. Madara Uchiha stared in astonishment at the unmarked breastplate of Kinkaku, then looked down in disbelief at the longsword in his hand.

"Impossible, how are you alright?"

"Yes, I was wondering the same thing. How come your sword was unharmed?"

Golden Horn reached out and patted the dust off his breastplate, speaking calmly.

"Snap!"

To Madara Uchiha's horrified gaze, his prized companion weapon, the white longsword, began to shatter, turning into light particles and disappearing from his hand in no time.

"Now it's my turn."

Golden Horn shook his neck, raised his serrated greatsword with his right hand, placed the blade in his left palm, and pulled hard.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

A piercing noise rang out, and the serrated edges of the greatsword began to spin rapidly, accompanied by a chillingly hot aura.

"It would definitely hurt to get cut by that thing."

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the chainsaw in Kinkaku's hand and subconsciously swallowed.

"It's not just unpleasant; even leaving a whole corpse is difficult."

Xiaochun, turning to her new room, shrank back in terror, unable to imagine the consequences of being sawed off.

"Buzz!"

Kinkaku brandished his violent chainsaw, and Madara Uchiha tried to create distance by dodging, but the opponent's movements were unexpectedly agile, almost sticking to him.

"Buzzing!"

Seeing the saw blade about to smash into his face, Madara Uchiha, unable to dodge in time, gritted his teeth, and the power of his eyes began to materialize, instantly donning heavy blue armor to block Kinkaku's attack.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

The serrated edges struck the Susanoo armor with a piercing bang. Seeing that he had successfully blocked the attack, Madara Uchiha finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Click."

But before he could rejoice for long, a crisp cracking sound rang in his ears. Startled, he looked up at the blue fragments flying everywhere. He quickly tilted his head and narrowly dodged the chainsaw that was aimed straight at his face.

"Rip!"

However, the rotating saw teeth still grazed his shoulder, tearing the white armor apart and taking away a large chunk of flesh.

"what!"

A pained Madara Uchiha kicked Kinkaku in the chest, sending him flying backward and landing ten meters away.

"Huff~ Huff~"

Madara Uchiha, clutching his wound, breathed slightly, turned his head, and looked at the hideous wound that had begun to heal on its own, a flash of doubt crossing his eyes.

Since Madara Uchiha became a Tailed Beast Rider, he has never been injured again. If it weren't for this wound, he would have almost forgotten the color of his own blood.

"You actually managed to hurt me. That's a feat you can brag about for the rest of your life."

Madara Uchiha stood up, gazed at the imposing Kinkaku, and slowly began to speak.

At this point, we have to ask about the prison.

He lost a kunai 800 miles away and blew on it for decades.

"Words are useless; let's see the results with our actions."

A strange fighting spirit surged within Kinkaku, prompting him to raise his serrated greatsword once more and charge menacingly toward Uchiha Madara.

"I've been underestimated."

Madara Uchiha shook his head. The power of the knight was merely icing on the cake for him. As a member of the Uchiha clan, his greatest reliance was still his invincible God Eyes.

As the crimson in his eyes deepened, the tomoe in Madara Uchiha's eyes began to spin rapidly, transforming into a pair of bewitching patterns in the blink of an eye, and a cold and gloomy aura instantly filled the entire battlefield.

"Forehead"

The moment they sensed this aura, all the tailed beasts present instinctively shrank their tails, their enormous beastly eyes filled with painful memories.

"Little Jinjin! No! Oh no~"

The Eight-Tails regretted not having more tentacles to stop the rampaging Golden Horn, and could only watch as he charged towards the terrifying reincarnation of Indra.

"Takoyaki seems to taste better than steak~"

The grieved Ox Demon began to speculate on how he would die, such as which kind of food would be more popular.

"Boom!"

Madara Uchiha's blue armor began to expand, and in the blink of an eye, a blue tengu giant rose from the ground. In front of it, Kinkaku was like an ant crawling forward, appearing so insignificant.

"ha?"

Golden Horn, who had been eagerly anticipating a fierce battle, was so terrified upon seeing the enormous blue giant that he stopped using his chainsaw.

Unexpectedly, the other side disregarded martial ethics and directly launched a massive battle.

"I don't get angry with children, but unfortunately, you're not a child."

Madara Uchiha controlled Susanoo to draw his katana and slash at Kinkaku on the ground.

"Damn it! That's so despicable!"

Golden Horn dodged the giant blade, his anger flaring.

"There is no such thing as despicable in strength."

Shaking his head, Madara Uchiha showed no remorse for his cheating. Besides, the Knights' Battle didn't say you couldn't use your own power, did it?

"Luckily, the stage was big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have been able to accommodate the Gundam."

Looking at the majestic blue Gundam from the stands, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but marvel at his own foresight. He had anticipated that someone would start a giant battle, and he hadn't expected to be right.

"Oh no, oh no, what's the point of fighting this?"

In her sea of ​​consciousness, the Eight-Tails was overcome with grief, recalling her friendly interactions with Kinkaku over the years. Those fragmented memories gathered in her mind like a river.

"There's no other way, Little Jinjin, I'll help you!"

After a long internal struggle, the Eight-Tails finally made up its mind, raised its massive bull head, and shouted at the Golden Horn outside.

"Huh? Eighth Brother, what are you doing?"

Kinkaku was confused by the Eight-Tails' words, but the next moment, he saw the Tailed Beast Card at his waist flash with a dazzling golden light. When the light faded, a brand new Tailed Beast Card appeared in the card slot.

This card depicts a menacing eight-tailed serpent, identical in appearance to the Eight-Tailed Divine Beast card used for transformation, but with an added ornate border.

"The Ultimate Tailed Beast Card, huh?"

Uchiha Gin raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that something even the perfect knight like Kakuzu couldn't accomplish, the Gold Horn Prisoner had gotten his hands on first.

His gaze shifted to the kind-faced prison guard, who shook his head with a look of exasperation. It seemed he hadn't been pushed hard enough.

"I've never seen this card before, Lao Ba, what is it?"

Kinkaku drew his Supreme Tailed Beast Card, and using the rising dust as cover, hid behind a protruding rock wall. He then asked, puzzled,

"This is my last strength. Take it and try to defeat that guy!"

In his mind's eye, the Gyūki straightened his back, his gaze piercing as he stared intently at the swaggering Susanoo outside. His bond with Kinkaku had finally triumphed over his primal fear.

Eight-Tails decides to go all out, giving everything it has, entrusting its power to Kinkaku so that he can control everything.

Kinkaku sensed the determination emanating from Gyuki and was deeply moved. With tears welling in his eyes, he stood up, raised the Ultimate Tailed Beast Card in his hand, and forcefully inserted it into the driver at his waist, his expression extremely resolute.

"I won't let you down, Eighth Brother!"

"Eight Tails, load"

The sound of the Ultimate Tailed Beast Card loading rang out, and the long loading BGM continued. Suddenly, a raging Tailed Beast chakra rose behind Kinkaku, its concentration so high that it was tangible to the naked eye. Everyone craned their necks, wanting to see what was going on.

"Ox-Demon, Beast Fist Fusion!"

Sensing something, Kinkaku first threw away the serrated greatsword in his hand, then struck a chuunibyou pose, raised his fist, and the tailed beast chakra behind him burst out and flew into the sky.

The crowd's puzzled gazes followed the chakra upwards, only to see that the chakra had transformed in mid-air into a giant beast resembling the Eight-Tails.

"Is it the Eight-Tails?!"

"No that's not the Eight-Tails."

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Uchiha Gin leaned back with amusement, hands behind his head, watching the "Gyuki" running through the air, his voice filled with a wicked sense of amusement.

"Is the show of carrots versus Gundam finally about to begin?" (End of Chapter)
