Starting from the roots of Konoha, they were the masterminds behind the scenes.

Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!

Hashirama Senju formed hand seals, and the wooden figure rose up, with a wooden dragon coiling around its body.

The earth trembled violently. The wooden figure took a step forward and reached out with both hands to grab Madara Uchiha's Susanoo. At the same time, a wooden dragon roared out.

Rumble!

The wooden figure and Susanoo's arms collided, unleashing a dazzling light and stirring up a terrifying gale.

The two giants stood firm, and the wooden dragon pulled on the leg of Susanoo, causing Madara Uchiha's Susanoo to stagger and kneel down on one knee.

The wooden man immediately seized the opportunity to rush forward, but Madara Uchiha's Susanoo took the opportunity to grab the wooden dragon and pull it hard, causing the wooden man to lose his balance.

Madara Uchiha's Susanoo rose up, elbowing and kicking, sending the wooden doll flying backward.

At this moment, the three Susanoo stepped forward.

At this moment, whether it is Madara Uchiha's Susanoo or the Susanoo of Obito Uchiha and the other two, they are all in complete human form, but only flesh and blood, and are not yet covered with armor.

As the three Susanoos charged towards him, Madara Uchiha let out a soft snort, and the four hands of the Susanoo made a grasping motion, from which four Susanoo swords emerged.

Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo conjured a shield with his left hand to block a sword strike, while his right hand caught the descending sword.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha's Susanoo clasped its hands together, trapping a sword between them.

Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo grabbed a sword with its left hand, while a spiral spear materialized in its right hand, and it thrust forward fiercely.

Click!

With his face shattered and Susanoo collapsed, Madara Uchiha leaped backward, quickly heading towards the Konoha battlefield.

"Stop him!"

Uchiha Shisui shouted.

The three Susanoo strode forward, thundering in pursuit.

Hashirama Senju was faster and intercepted Madara Uchiha first, with the Wood Golem reappearing.

Madara Uchiha gave a soft snort, and Susanoo rose up once more.

But this time, he used all his strength.

Covered in armor, the Tengu sprouted wings, and with a single swing of the Susanoo sword, the wooden puppet of Hashirama Senju was dismembered.

"Hashirama, you can't stop me!"

Madara Uchiha shouted, and within his Susanoo, he formed hand seals, and one after another, Wood Release clones emerged from his back.

"In this case, we can only divide it into four at most... That should be enough."

Madara Uchiha chuckled.

Four Wood Release clones shot out and immediately activated Susanoo upon landing.

Three Susanoos attacked Obito and his two companions, while one attacked Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju's gaze darkened as he watched the approaching clone: ​​"There's no other way. True Several Thousand Hands, Top Transformed Buddha!"

A thousand-armed Buddha statue stands tall on top of the wooden figure, which sits cross-legged, while the thousand-armed pillar stands on top of the wooden figure's head.

Creak~

Wooden hands stretched out, then whistled through the air and slammed down on the oncoming Susanoo.

Just as Madara Uchiha's clone Susanoo swung its sword, it was engulfed by a dense barrage of fists, creating a deafening explosion and billowing dust.

In the blink of an eye, Susanoo was destroyed and Wood Release clones were shattered.

Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha and the others' Susanoo also underwent transformations as they moved forward, becoming covered in Tengu armor.

Obito Uchiha's Susanoo hurled a giant black shuriken, severing the arm of Madara Uchiha's clone Susanoo. He then punched Madara's clone in its flesh and blood form, blasting it apart. He also grabbed the Wood Release clone and crushed it into pieces of wood.

Itachi Uchiha's Susanoo drew the divine weapon Totsuka Blade, piercing through Madara Uchiha's clone's Susanoo with a single strike. The moment the Susanoo disintegrated, it locked onto Madara's clone, and black flames enveloped it.

However, in an instant, the black flames vanished.

However, it was absorbed by the clone using the power of the Rinnegan.

Itachi Uchiha was not surprised. He activated the Heavenly Dream Walker Technique and, in the instant that Madara Uchiha's clone was stunned, the Totsuka Blade pierced through its seal.

On the other hand, Uchiha Shisui's approach was simpler. Without needing to lock onto Madara's gaze, he directly attempted to control him with Kotoamatsukami. Although he failed, he did manage to slow Madara's mental state, and before he could use the Rinnegan's abilities, he was killed with a single shot.

But in this short time, Madara Uchiha had already approached the battlefield where Konoha and White Zetsu were fighting.

Seeing the four enormous figures chasing after him, Madara Uchiha stopped in his tracks, and both his own hands and those of his Susanoo formed hand seals simultaneously.

In the air, Xingxia Xiu, who was watching the battle, looked up and his eyes had already switched to white.

Through the clouds, I could see three huge meteorites lined up in a row.

Seeing Hoshino's reaction, Konan looked up at the sky but saw nothing. Just as she was about to ask, the clouds parted, revealing a huge meteorite. She exclaimed, "That was summoned by Madara Uchiha!"

Hoshino nodded: "So, don't underestimate Uchiha Madara; he hasn't even unleashed his full power yet!"

Xiao Nan quickly said, "Teacher Xiu, shouldn't we make a move?"

Xingxia Xiu said calmly, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

"Obito and the others can still handle it."

The falling of three meteorites caught the attention of Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, and others, who were immediately astonished.

"Oh no, one's about to hit the battlefield!"

Hashirama Senju looked surprised.

"First Generation, hand over the meteorite to us!"

Obito Uchiha shouted, and Susanoo immediately underwent its final transformation, sprouting wings, while the surging chakra completely settled.

Complete Susanoo.

The same was true for Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, who both activated their strongest form, the Complete Susanoo.

However, even in its complete form, it was still a size smaller than Madara Uchiha's.

In terms of the use of Susanoo, he was undoubtedly far inferior to Madara Uchiha, who had already reached the pinnacle of mastery.

Three Susanoo figures—blue, red, and green—flew into the sky like meteorites.

Meanwhile, on the White Zetsu battlefield.

Nawaki, Sakumo Hatake, Kakashi, and the others also saw the falling meteorite. Shocked, they immediately came up with a solution.

Spiral Shuriken!

Rope Tree immediately used the Light and Heavy Rock Technique to lift himself and Xuan Yi into the air, heading straight for the meteorite high in the sky.

On the other side, Yuan Feixin also used the Light-Heavy Rock Technique, his body soaring into the air, and immediately arrived at Kakashi's side, using the Light-Heavy Rock Technique on Kakashi and Hoshino Masa respectively.

Just as the three were about to ascend into the sky, Jiraiya leaped in: "Count me in!"

"good!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded and then took Jiraiya with him.

Just then, Sakura Haruno exclaimed, "Look!"

Sasuke Uchiha exclaimed in surprise, "It's my brothers!"

The three enormous Susanoos did not appear large in front of the giant meteorite. The three wielded the Susanoo sword and the Susanoo spear. Uchiha Itachi even combined the Yasaka Magatama and the Rasengan taught by Hoshinobu with the Susanoo to form the Magatama Rasengan Shuriken.

Rumble!

A deafening roar came from high above as the massive meteorite cracked open, scattering into fragments that fell downwards.

At that moment, Nara Shikaku's voice also entered Nawaki, Kakashi, and the others' minds: "Nawaki, Kakashi, Shinnosuke, you guys are in charge of dealing with the smaller meteorite."

"clear!"

Kakashi and the others responded and then quickly took off.

After reaching a certain height, everyone unanimously entered "immortal mode".

Kakashi and Shinnosuke both activated the Yin Seal first, and then entered Sage Mode.

Nawaki, Genichi, and Menma all have more than enough chakra.

Jiraiya, on the other hand, summoned two sages from Mount Myōboku to combine their powers.

As the massive rocks fell, Kakashi's Storm Release: Rasenshuriken, Nawaki, Shinnosuke, Genichi, Menmon, and Jiraiya's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken all took to the air.

Rumble!

One after another, orbs of light flashed in the sky, and huge meteorites were destroyed, forming smaller fragments that fell to the ground.

On the ground, Nara Shikaku also organized a third line of defense.

Towering giants, wielding enormous wooden clubs, smashed the fish that slipped through the net.

These are all ninjas from the Akimichi clan.

the other side.

Minato Namikaze, his body radiating black chakra, smiled and said, "It seems there are no problems at all."

Tobirama Senju was relieved: "It seems that the monkey and Tsuna did a good job."

Minato Namikaze praised, "The Third and Fourth Hokage were both outstanding Hokage, and Kakashi and the others were all trained by Hideaki-sensei."

"Even I achieved what I have today thanks to Teacher Xiu's guidance."

Tobirama Senju looked up at Hoshino Shigehisa, who was watching the show from the sky. Although he had learned some things from Orochimaru, they were not very specific.

After withdrawing his gaze, Tobirama Senju asked, "That chakra you just used felt extremely evil, but it didn't seem to be any of the nine tailed beasts."

Minato Namikaze nodded and said, "Yes, Second Hokage. This is the Zero-Tails from the Sky Ninja Village. It was captured by Teacher Shu and then I was made the Zero-Tails' jinchūriki."

He said with some shame, "Because my chakra reserves are not enough."

Tobirama Senju comforted him, saying, "Being able to master the Flying Thunder God Technique is already quite impressive; there's no need to underestimate yourself."

Minato Namikaze smiled gratefully.

……

On the wooden Buddha, Hashirama Senju smiled as he watched the meteorite being intercepted: "What outstanding young men! It seems we can completely trust them."

Ignoring the fallen rubble around him, Hashirama Senju turned his gaze to Madara Uchiha in front of him: "Madara, you see, this is the result of our struggle together."

Madara Uchiha was silent for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Just some petty tricks."

The latest novel is first published here!

Having said that, Susanoo took flight and charged toward Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju roared, "Madara, you'll regret this!"

Madara Uchiha roared, "You're the one in the wrong!"

"I will show you a perfect world without war!"

The two roared as they charged at each other.

From the air, watching this scene brimming with homoerotic tension, Xingxia Xiu exclaimed with emotion, "I really want to record this!"

Xiao Nan was speechless: Teacher Xiu is becoming more and more unreliable, and more and more like a child.

……

Another clash between the Complete Susanoo and the True Several Thousand Hands, but unsurprisingly, the Complete Susanoo was defeated once again.

Susanoo was destroyed, and Madara Uchiha retreated. As fists came raining down on him, he raised his hand and released Shinra Tensei.

An invisible force erupted, and the incoming fists exploded, but more fists continued to fall.

Madara Uchiha immediately retreated, dodging the attack before leaping into the air.

Hashirama Senju frowned: "What are they trying to do?"

After ascending into the sky, Madara Uchiha clasped his hands together and opened them, creating a huge black sphere.

The black sphere then split into more than ten.

Snapped!

Madara Uchiha clasped his hands together: Planetary Devastation!

The earth shook violently, then cracked open, and large blocks of land were sucked into the air by the black sphere in the sky.

Hashirama Senju's expression changed: "This is bad!"

There are too many.

Moreover, the battlefield was also enveloped, and many ninjas were sucked into the air.

The key point is, he can't fly.

In the air, Hoshino Sayo said to Konan, "Go!"

Xiao Nan nodded, flapped its wings, and flew away.

Xingxia Xiu then withdrew his gaze and turned to look in the other direction.

In his view, if Hashirama Senju and Obito Uchiha didn't hold back, Edo Madara would be finished. Madara Uchiha was just stalling for time.

Obito Uchiha and his group also had to cooperate and hold back a bit.

On the other hand, there's more anticipation for Hoshino Shu on Nagato's side.

Orochimaru's reanimated army was already engaged in battle with the Allied Forces. The four Kage and Nagato had not made a move yet, as they were watching the battle between Hashirama Senju, Obito Uchiha, and Madara Uchiha.

It was very impressive.

The enormous, fully-formed Susanoo, in particular, was beyond imagination.

Hashirama Senju's power was even more astonishing and despair-inducing.

Even now, as an enemy, Onoki couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Hashirama, who once changed the ninja world!"

After a moment of reflection, he shouted, "Everyone, Madara is stalling for time. We must defeat him as soon as possible and reclaim the Tailed Beasts!"

The Fourth Raikage shouted, "Then let's do it!"

With Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated at full power, Onoki immediately flew onto the Raikage's back.

Luo Sha raised his hand, and sand gold shot out, heading straight for Nagato.

The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, forms hand seals.

boom!

The gold dust was repelled by an invisible force, and then a water dragon swooped down from the sky.

At the same time, the Fourth Raikage, now lighter, rushed straight towards Nagato at an extremely fast speed.

Furthermore, the Fourth Raikage's attack arrived first.

The four Kage had already learned about the Rinnegan from Madara Uchiha, so they were well aware that there was a gap in Shinra Tensei, albeit a very short one.

However, if Nagato were to use Shinra Tensei against the Fourth Raikage, he would inevitably be hit by the Water Dragon Bullet Technique.

Moreover, there is also the Wind Shadow's gold dust behind it.

"It seems they have a very good understanding of the Rinnegan's abilities."

Nagato had a sudden thought and raised his left hand.

Shinra Tensei!

boom!

The Fourth Raikage and Onoki were sent flying backwards.

Immediately afterwards, lightning crackled around Nagato's body, and as he raised his right hand, a pillar of lightning extended out, slicing through the Mizukage's water dragon.

Gold dust hurtled towards him, but Nagato had already vanished from his spot, arriving at the Mizukage's side with incredible speed: "Four Kage, I have more than just the Rinnegan!"

"Your use of Lightning Release is actually our opportunity!"

The fourth generation of Raikage arrived first, followed by the first.

Nagato raised his left hand, and a Truth-Seeking Ball appeared, unfolding into a round shield, allowing the Fourth Raikage's fist to strike it.

The shield formed by the Seeking Truth Orb remained motionless, but the Water Shadow also used the Water Mirror Technique. A long gate emerged from the water mirror, wielding the same Thousand Birds Sharp Spear.

The two sharp spears clashed, and lightning flashed.

With a flash, Nagato once again dodged the attack of the gold dust, while more Truth-Seeking Balls appeared behind him.

The four Kage launched a continuous barrage of attacks, but unfortunately, they were either deflected by Shinra Tensei, nullified by Truth-Seeking Balls, or directly absorbed by Nagato.

After unleashing the Truth-Seeking Ball, Nagato became much more at ease facing the combined attack of the four Kage.

But Onoki's expression grew increasingly grim.

The information provided by Madara Uchiha did not include Truth-Seeking Balls.

They initially wanted to eliminate Nagato, but now...

"The only way to restrain him is to use more people!"

Onoki gritted his teeth, then shouted, "Kage, notify the rear to assemble an elite squad!"

Rasa immediately understood Onoki's meaning and promptly created a clone of himself to leave.

Nagato ignored it, and instead suddenly retreated, then formed hand seals and summoned the Gedo Mazo.

With a leap, Nagato landed on top of the Gedo Mazo, and then with a thought.

Boom boom boom!

The ten-tailed creature sprinted towards the Alliance army.

"Stop him!"

Onoki shouted loudly.

Kazekage waved his hand, sending gold dust surging like a tide, but it was easily swept away by the Ten-Tails' tail.

Although the Fourth Raikage was fast, the ten tails of the Ten-Tails made it difficult for him to get close.

Onoki attempted to attack with Dust Release, but it was absorbed by Nagato using his Rinnegan.

The Mizukage's Water Release technique was also ineffective at this moment.

The four could only watch helplessly as the Ten-Tails approached the army. (End of Chapter)
