I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

As time went on, the Kage-level powerhouses present gradually adapted to Madara Uchiha's fighting rhythm.

Madara Uchiha could no longer unilaterally crush his opponent, after all, the Kage-level powerhouses present were not only the Five Kage, but also Tsunade, Mifune, Kakashi, and others, almost gathering the elite of most of the ninja world.

Faced with so many Kage-level powerhouses, Madara Uchiha also became somewhat impatient and lost his previous composure.

He attempted to use a human wave tactic, having dozens of wooden clones unleash the Susanoo technique to overwhelm these mortal Kage-level powerhouses with sheer numbers. However, the Five Kage and the others defeated them one by one, subtly forming an encirclement.

Having jumped atop the tower, Madara Uchiha was about to catch his breath when he sensed the surrounding space distorting, forming a vortex.

After dodging Kamui's pull with a swift movement, Madara Uchiha looked at Kakashi, who was wandering on the edge of the battlefield. Of all the 'Jonin' level ninjas, he thought Kakashi and Jiraiya were the most troublesome.

Kakashi's Flying Thunder God Technique reminded him of Tobirama Senju, and Kamui's abilities were even more unpredictable.

Jiraiya's tricky aspect lies in Sage Mode. Although the Rinnegan can absorb Sage Chakra, it cannot absorb it completely, making it easy for other ninjas to spot the flaw and launch a joint attack using sealing techniques.

Is it only possible to use the Heavenly Obstruction Star and the Complete Body Susanoo?

Madara Uchiha hesitated for a moment, but he remained calm and composed in front of the Five Kage and others, waiting for good news from Black Zetsu.

After all, his purpose in stepping forward was to attract the attention of enough ninjas from the five great nations, with the ultimate goal of capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

……

After observing for a while, Black Zetsu, with a grim expression, fled into the depths of the forest.

Unexpectedly, while his operation failed, Madara Uchiha was also entangled with someone. If this continues, not only will the Eye of the Moon plan fail, but Madara Uchiha, as a pawn, will also be lost.

The millennium that Mother spoke of is almost here; this is the last chance.

Not long after, Black Zetsu arrived at a cabin in the woods. After using the Mayfly Technique, he infiltrated a laboratory more than ten meters deep. This was one of Orochimaru's many experimental bases, and his target was one of his experimental subjects.

Upon reaching the innermost room, Black Zetsu looked at the white-haired boy lying on the bed.

The white-haired boy had a very effeminate appearance, looking more like a girl. For Black Zetsu, it didn't matter whether the test subject was male or female. The main thing was that the other party had the bloodline of Uchiha and Senju, and was born with the ability to mobilize natural energy.

Such an excellent experimental subject, apart from being somewhat naive and ignorant of the ways of the world, is practically a vessel prepared for the Rinnegan, naturally suited for the Rinne Rebirth Technique.

Upon hearing footsteps, the white-haired youth slowly stood up and said, "Lord Jue, are you here for surgery? You promised me that you would let me see the light again."

Black Zetsu nodded and looked at the white-haired boy, saying, "I have found the most suitable eyes for you, but after you regain your sight, you must perform a spell to repay me and the leader."

After saying that, Black Zetsu took out the Rinnegan from his body and began to perform an eye transplant on the white-haired boy.

The surgery took only a few minutes. The white-haired boy, who had regained his sight, said gratefully, "Lord Jue, I can really see again, I really can."

Black Zetsu nodded slightly, and without any further words, directly possessed the white-haired boy.

Before the white-haired boy could react, the man clasped his hands together and used the Samsara Rebirth Technique, then quickly removed the white-haired boy's Rinnegan.

"Lord Jue, why?!"

The white-haired boy felt the life force draining from his body and shouted in disbelief.

Black Zetsu glanced coldly at the white-haired boy and then said, "Our deal is done. Becoming the tool for Lord Uchiha Madara's resurrection is a blessing you will enjoy for countless years to come."

"But you promised me that you would at least let me see the outside world."

The white-haired boy spoke with great sorrow, but Black Zetsu had already left the underground laboratory without looking back. In Black Zetsu's eyes, only reviving Uchiha Madara and realizing the Eye of the Moon Plan were the most important things.

Not long after Black Zetsu left, the white-haired boy's life force grew weaker and weaker, like a candle flame in the wind.

In fact, given the white-haired boy's physique, using the Reincarnation Technique wouldn't necessarily kill him; at most, he would only lose a dozen or so years of life force, and he would recover after a few months of recuperation.

However, the amount of chakra required to revive Madara Uchiha is not on the same level as that required to revive an ordinary ninja.

Black Zetsu was certain that the white-haired boy was going to die, which is why he decisively left the laboratory; otherwise, he would have continued to make use of the waste.

Just then, a smile suddenly appeared on the white-haired boy's lips. A small white snake crawled out from the ground and quickly entered the white-haired boy's body, then rapidly swelled into a bloodless young man.

The young man was none other than Orochimaru, who had been missing for several months.

After reading the body's memories, Orochimaru revealed a satisfied smile.

A few months ago, Orochimaru, who had just returned to the Land of Rice Fields, was attacked by the Akatsuki. Not only was the Sound Village wiped out, but Orochimaru himself was also killed by White Zetsu, leaving only a small white snake carrying part of his soul.

The little white snake originally wanted to find a pre-prepared container to immediately undergo reincarnation.

However, the clone carrying a fragment of the soul was targeted by Black Zetsu, so he could only remain in hiding, silently watching his subordinates and technology being used by Black Zetsu and others, waiting for the right opportunity.

Now, he has finally gotten his chance.

His clone had been implanted with the Rinnegan, and the remaining Rinnegan chakra inside was of great research value. As for the forbidden techniques that had been taken from him, he was worried about where to use them.

Now, all he needs to do is wait quietly for the Ninja World War to end and collect the experimental data.

After merging with the white-haired boy, Orochimaru used Earth Release to reach the outside world and fled far away from the location of the violent chakra burst.

Just a few kilometers after Orochimaru fled, a group of people blocked his way.

Looking at the familiar faces in the crowd, Orochimaru revealed a thoughtful expression before joining the group.

Chapter 313 Barely Able to Please Me

On the bare wasteland, the five shadows looked nervously at the pyramid covered with incantations.

That was the Sand Burial Sealing Technique performed by Gaara, the Kazekage, which also contained sealing techniques from various ninja villages, all in order to seal Edo Madara within the barrier and completely end this battle.

After all, they had defeated Edo Tensei Madara several times in the battle just now.

However, Madara's chakra is almost limitless. As long as it does not exceed the limit, he can release Wood Release and Susanoo at will. Meanwhile, their chakra is finite, and they will eventually be defeated over time.

The filthy cloak inside the pyramid also looked rather unwell.

After deliberately revealing his weaknesses to mock the Five Kage several times, he finally met his end. The combined threat of these ninjas was barely comparable to that of Hashirama in his lifetime.

While in the state of Edo Tensei, he possesses almost unlimited chakra, but this also makes him even more afraid of sealing techniques.

After all, his current Rinnegan is merely a product of the Impure World Reincarnation, not the true Rinnegan, and he is unable to unleash his unique Rinnegan eye techniques.

However, the most important thing right now is to escape the sealed pyramid and regain contact with the outside world.

Just then, Madara's expression changed. His impure body was peeling away inch by inch, replaced by bones, flesh, and skin.

"Is this what it feels like to have flesh and blood? It's exhilarating!"

Feeling the vibrant life force of his body, Madara Uchiha revealed a wild smile. Black Zetsu's use of the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive him meant that there had been success in capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which was great news.

However... for now, it's still giving those kids outside a little Uchiha shock.

Thinking of this, Madara Uchiha exerted a little force, and his powerful physical strength broke free from the nearby quicksand. He then used Earth Release: Earth Release technique and punched the surrounding sand layer.

Gaara, sensing the movement inside the pyramid, changed his expression and shouted to the others, "Oh no! Uchiha Madara has escaped! This sensation means Uchiha Madara has been resurrected!"

Madara Uchiha has been resurrected?!

Everyone's expression changed. After the smoke and dust cleared, they saw Uchiha Madara standing at the top of the pyramid.

Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was crumbling inch by inch, but the pressure he exerted on them was much greater than before, and he was swooping down on them.

After exchanging a glance, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage stood in front of them.

However, Madara's speed was comparable to that of the Fourth Raikage, and his strength surpassed that of Tsunade. With just a flash, he passed Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage, arrived in front of Hozuki Mangetsu, snatched the flounder, and sent Hozuki Mangetsu flying.

Immediately as Tsunade, Jiraiya, and the Fourth Raikage attacked together, he activated Susanoo.

Faced with the combined power of the three, Susanoo developed cracks, but Madara instantly shut it down and fled several hundred meters away.

Hozuki Mangetsu said with an extremely ugly expression, "Didn't Madara not have eyes? How did he activate Susanoo?"

Onoki helped Hozuki Mangetsu up and said, "Don't underestimate Uchiha Madara, especially the Uchiha in his prime. Moreover, Susanoo is more like a ninjutsu than a bloodline limit."

Jiraiya nodded, "Susanoo is indeed a ninjutsu; I've seen Naruto use it."

Mentioning Naruto, the Fourth Raikage seemed to remember something and asked anxiously, "Why haven't Naruto and Killer Bee returned yet? Could it be that besides Madara Uchiha, there are other strong members in the Akatsuki?"

Jiraiya nodded with a troubled expression: "They may really be in trouble. The communication frog just told me that Naruto seems to be fighting against the reanimated Hokage and the reanimated Jinchuriki?"

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage was extremely anxious, but could only rage helplessly.

Tsunade, who had been silent until now, reminded him, "Don't think about those things. Let's think about ourselves. Madara Uchiha will only be stronger after he's resurrected!"

"But this is also our chance to kill him!"

Kakashi, who had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport over, added.

……

Several hundred meters away, Madara Uchiha took the Rinnegan from Black Zetsu, put it on, and asked, "Black Zetsu, is the retrieval of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki complete?"

Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment, but still said, "The retrieval of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has failed."

Madara Uchiha frowned: "How could he have failed? Hashirama couldn't possibly lose to a brat like this. It shouldn't be like this."

"The First Hokage broke free from my control, and the other ninjas were no match for him."

After hearing Black Zetsu's explanation, Madara Uchiha finally relaxed his brows and said, "If we can't capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we need to change our strategy. We should revive the Ten-Tails first, and then use the Ten-Tails' power to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

After saying that, Madara Uchiha didn't wait for Black Zetsu to speak and sped off towards the distance where the Five Kage and the others were.

Soon, Madara Uchiha saw the five Kage waiting in full battle array and launched an attack on them, beginning his magnificent Uchiha dance.

After regaining the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha's strength increased to a new level.

Not only could they fight against several Kage-level powerhouses at the same time, but even Kakashi, who was waiting to join the fray, was affected. Soon, the five Kage and the others discovered an invisible enemy attacking them.

"Everyone, Madara Uchiha has several shadow clones that cannot be seen."

Jiraiya in Sage Mode was barely able to sense a few strands of Madara Uchiha's chakra nearby, but even if he could sense them, he was unable to counter them; the difference in strength between the two was simply too great.

After Fukasaku and Shima, the two sages, were knocked off their shoulders, Jiraiya was also forced back to his original form.

Soon, the other Kage-level powerhouses were also attacked by Limbo: Border Jail. After being covered in wounds, they collapsed to the ground and fell unconscious.

Even Gaara and Onoki, who had mastered the ability to fly, were no exception and were knocked to the ground.

Seeing this, Kakashi wanted to go and rescue his comrades, but after hesitating for a long time, he used Kamui and disappeared from the spot.

After successfully defeating numerous Kage-level powerhouses, Madara Uchiha left without looking back, taking with him the amber bottle that sealed Ginkaku and Kinkaku, and headed towards the location of the Gedo Mazo.

"Should we not kill them and eliminate the potential threat?"

Madara Uchiha snorted and said, "I'll spare their lives for now, since they can barely please me. But they'll soon be entering the Infinite Tsukuyomi dream together."

"Only in the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi can people gradually come to understand each other and bring peace to the ninja world. Come to think of it, this is Hashirama's theory."

Staring at Madara Uchiha, who was reciting the name of Hashirama one after another, Black Zetsu expressionlessly burrowed into the ground.
