Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 160 Is this kid really the reincarnation of Madara Uchiha? (10,000-word chapter)

Boom—

With a loud bang, cracks appeared in the forest ground beneath Hagoromo and Nagato's feet.

A torrent of chakra surged forth, and the trees around them suffered immense damage with a single strike.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and flames accompanied by destructive sword energy ignited, and this area of ​​the forest was almost instantly destroyed!

Standing quietly inside Susanoo, Hagoromo was not worried at all about the impact of the battle. With the protection of Susanoo, he could calmly face all the troubles in front of him.

However, Nagato's actions surprised Hagoromo, as he discovered that the puppet Yahiko, which Nagato had preserved, was actually forming hand seals and releasing a massive earthen wall!

"This guy, he actually figured it out?"

Yuri naturally saw through Nagato's actions and plans; it was likely that the power controlled by his own body was entirely the power of the Rinnegan.

However, due to his physical limitations, he needed someone to help him, and it was obviously not good to keep Konan with him all the time, in addition to his special feelings for Yahiko.

Therefore, Yahiko was spared so that he could assist him in battle.

Furthermore, to avoid conflict with the power of the Rinnegan, this guy probably used the Rinnegan to place the ability to use the five elemental chakras onto Yahiko's body.

"This approach is indeed ingenious, but is his five elemental chakra innate, or bestowed by the Rinnegan?"

Yu Zhi was a little confused, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, because those summoning beasts that could split were not all dead. They roared and rushed out of the smoke, heading straight for him!

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

On top of that giant wall, Yahiko's body quietly appeared, and he formed hand seals to unleash a water-style technique.

The Mist Village was perfect for the Water Release technique. Under Nagato's control, a massive torrent of water, like a vast ocean, roared toward Hagoromo.

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Even with such a high level of water-based techniques, Hagoromo had to be careful.

After all, the "invincible" persona had already been given to Madara Uchiha. Although he was not afraid, he could not act recklessly under certain restrictions.

"However, thinking that you can deal with Susanoo in this way is still a bit wishful thinking."

Yu Zhi muttered to himself as he controlled Susanoo to enlarge it. At the same time, he also controlled Susanoo's hands to form hand seals. In the next instant, a powerful burst of chakra erupted from Susanoo!

"Scorching Release: Extinguishing Flames!"

Yuri wanted to use her Kekkei Tota, "Flame Release," which was in its final stages of refinement, to deal with the battle, but she hesitated because the evil Senju Old Demon was also there.

He ultimately chose the more appropriate Scorching Release, since he hadn't actually used it in real combat and couldn't yet achieve perfection in controlling the details.

His mastery of the Scorching Release technique is now more complete, and he can use it more easily!

Pale golden flames burst forth from Susanoo in an instant, meeting the ocean-like water-style attack head-on, and the two collided in a flash.

With a hissing sound, thick steam rose into the air, and combined with the unique mist of the Land of Water, the forest appeared even more enchanting at this moment.

"Such a powerful Fire Release technique, truly worthy of the Hokage."

Nagato's body floated in mid-air. Although his legs had not yet recovered, the white solvent he had tricked Obito into giving him a new breakthrough.

As the white solvent was injected, he did feel that his control over the Rinnegan had become stronger. Now he could even use the repulsive force to make himself fly.

This saved him from being unable to move around easily, and most importantly, after getting rid of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, he felt that his body recovered much faster!

However, this is normal. As a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, Nagato's own recovery ability is terrifyingly strong.

He wasn't incapable of recovering from a mere leg injury; it's just that the 'Gedo Mazo' requires a supply of chakra to heal.

In the original story, Nagato was already able to control the Gedo Mazo when Yahiko died, and later, after the Fourth Hokage died, Konoha was in its weakest period.

Even if his control over the Rinnegan is only half-baked, it's not impossible that he could cooperate with Obito to do something against Konoha!

However, he did not. In fact, the entire Akatsuki organization lay low for a long time, even waiting for Naruto and the others to grow stronger before taking action. The main reason for this was that the Gedo Mazo had not fully recovered.

It's possible that Madara Uchiha absorbed too much power back then, or it's possible that the Gedo Mazo, under Black Zetsu's secret control, was used to cultivate a large number of White Zetsu, causing him to lose a lot of power.

Therefore, the Gedo Mazo needs to be nurtured with chakra, which leaves Nagato with no other power to restore himself.

However, Nagato didn't care. He was willing to do it, and now that he had found a solution, he was even more confident!

Hidden in the thick fog, Nagato didn't want Hagoromo to know his current situation; he was also a qualified ninja.

"Susanoo is too troublesome, but fortunately this power is constructed from chakra, so..."

A glint flashed in Nagato's eyes. Since it was a power constructed from chakra, he could try to absorb the chakra using his Rinnegan!

"However, we need to find a way to get closer, and since the Susanoo's chakra intensity is so high, we also need to weaken it a bit."

Nagato already had a plan in mind. He took a deep breath and began to form hand seals. At the same time, he multitasked, controlling Pain and the summoned beasts to harass Hagoromo.

He needs to gather his strength now, and he can't be disturbed at this time!

"This is really troublesome."

As Yuri watched the Rinnegan summoning beasts rushing out of the thick fog, he raised an eyebrow, and the next moment Susanoo swung his sword again.

hum-

A piercing whistling sound suddenly rang out, and a visible blade of light hurtled fiercely towards the spirit beasts.

Yuzhi naturally knew that these summoned beasts could withstand physical damage and split, but every force has its limits.

Just like Susanoo, when the power reaches a certain limit, Susanoo will still collapse. Even Hagoromo's own Susanoo has been shattered!

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

The moment the blade passed the summoned beast, Pain's water-style attack was already hurtling towards the haori.

"Tch, boring."

Yuki calmly watched the roaring water dragon hurtling towards them; such an attack was unlikely to cause Susanoo any trouble.

As expected, the water dragon only caused Susanoo to tremble slightly when it hit him, but the summoned beasts pounced on him again.

Not only that, Pain showed no sign of stopping, continuing to rapidly form hand seals and launch attacks using Water Release techniques.

Yuri raised an eyebrow. This kind of attack was basically ineffective against Yuri, but Nagato was obviously doing it for a reason.

"Um!"

Sure enough, while Hagoromo was dealing with Pain and the summoned beasts, he suddenly sensed a strange burst of chakra.

The next moment, the earth began to tremble violently, and an aura that even Yuzhi felt palpitate slowly emerged along with the trembling of the earth.

"Could it be that this guy...?"

Yuzhi paused for a moment, then a bad feeling arose, and the next moment a deafening roar came from the depths of the earth.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a huge monster rise up from the ground!

"As expected, this is the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

-

"Damn it, Orochimaru, you're so stubborn..."

"Idiot, can you shut up? I already told you I'm not going back with you!"

Inside Kirigakure, Jiraiya and Tsunade were still locked in a fierce battle with Orochimaru and Sasori.

Their battle was far from over, especially as the four of them grew increasingly enraged, and their destruction of the surrounding area intensified.

However, they obviously didn't have time to consider these issues, because Orochimaru was really annoyed by Jiraiya.

He knew what it would be like to run into that idiot Jiraiya, but he didn't expect the guy to be so long-winded.

From beginning to end, it was the same thing over and over again: "Come back to Konoha with me," "Don't go on like this," and something like "Even if I break your legs, I'll take you back."

At first, Orochimaru didn't have many thoughts about this guy, and even thought he was pretty good, no wonder he was his childhood friend.

But gradually, as he fought while listening to this guy's incessant ramblings, and while this guy was also brutally attacking him, Orochimaru found it hard to keep up.

You really want to break my legs and carry me back, don't you?

By now, Orochimaru was somewhat numb. Where did this guy get the willpower to keep attacking and getting beaten up at the same time, while still rambling on and on?

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to be wanted by Konoha, didn't want to be targeted by Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique, and didn't want to be personally hunted down by Hagoromo Uchiha, he really wanted to give Jiraiya a quick death.

"I will not release it."

"Shut up, you idiot, why are you so annoying?"

As Jiraiya began again, Orochimaru didn't give him a chance to finish speaking this time. He swung his Kusanagi sword fiercely, slashing at Jiraiya's arm.

You want to break my legs, huh? I'll break your arms first!

"hateful."

When Jiraiya saw the gleaming sword coming towards him, he was startled and quickly retreated.

He never dared to underestimate Orochimaru's strength, and being constantly entangled in close combat with Orochimaru, he had no way to safely enter Sage Mode.

After all, his mastery of Sage Mode was not entirely satisfactory, and he needed to think of a solution, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep going like this.

"Especially since I'm bringing this guy back to Konoha!"

Jiraiya still harbored this obsession. He glanced at Tsunade, who was still charging forward to attack Sasori's true form, and knew that he could only rely on himself now.

He immediately bit his thumb open and then quickly formed a hand seal.

"Spiritual communication!"

With a burst of smoke, Gamabunta's figure appeared instantly!

"Is there a problem now? Mizukiri, it's you, Jiraiya..."

As the smoke appeared, Gamabunta, with a pipe in his mouth, glanced at Jiraiya and immediately felt annoyed. He had thought it was Minato who had summoned him.

However, its gaze was soon drawn to Orochimaru.

"Hmm? This time the enemy is Orochimaru?"

"That's him!"

Jiraiya nodded immediately, but Gamabunta's expression became even more displeased.

As one of the legendary Sannin's summoning beasts, Gamabunta naturally knew Orochimaru's strength.

Furthermore, he was even more aware that Orochimaru was the contractor of the Chiryu Cave and could also use the summoning beast Manda, whose power was comparable to his own!

It would be a miracle if Gamabunta was in a good mood after encountering such an enemy.

"Bunta?"

When Orochimaru saw the giant toad appear, he immediately realized that Jiraiya would probably have to go all out.

However, this suited him perfectly. Although he wouldn't kill Jiraiya, he was indeed annoyed by him and decided to teach him a lesson.

For example, breaking Jiraiya's hand!

Anyway, this guy just yelled that he wanted to break his own legs, so let's just consider this karma.

"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!"

Orochimaru didn't hesitate at all. He immediately completed the hand seals, while Tsunade, who was being bothered by the iron sand of Magnet Release and had no way to advance, also stopped.

Upon seeing the two enormous figures appear, she immediately understood what they meant.

"Ugh, what a hassle."

Tsunade gave a soft hum, but she was also somewhat considering whether to accept her great-uncle's suggestion to use those White Zetsu cells.

Although her medical ninjutsu and physical abilities are indeed quite strong, there may be some gaps in other aspects, otherwise she wouldn't still be unable to get close to Sasori.

"Let's finish this battle first."

Tsunade muttered to herself, then quickly formed hand seals, and in the next instant, a giant slug appeared on the battlefield!

The appearance of the three enormous summoned beasts brought an extreme sense of oppression, and the moment they appeared, they crushed all the surrounding houses.

The immense aura emanated continuously, causing both the attacking and defending Mist Ninjas to hesitate to approach. They were all stunned by the scene before them.

"Is this a class reunion?"

Gamabunta, with a pipe in his mouth, looked at his two "old friends" and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"I'd be even happier if I could swallow you, you stinky toad."

Manda glared at Orochimaru, who was standing on top of him, and then yelled at Gamabunta.

"That's a scene that brings back so many memories."

The slug couldn't help but speak up at this moment, but it quickly shook its head, sensing that they were probably hostile this time.

However, the conversation between the three summoning beasts did not affect Jiraiya and his companions; they all turned their gazes to Sasori standing to the side.

"."

Although Scorpion had no expression, he was somewhat tense inside. As a puppeteer, he didn't need to fight personally, so naturally he didn't prepare any summoning beasts!

However, he still managed to unleash a huge number of scrolls, and in that instant, his puppets filled the sky and the ground, their dense array sending chills down the spine of anyone who looked at them from afar.

"Once I've settled into my new body, I should probably start preparing a summoning beast."

Sasori thought to himself, and then immediately controlled the puppets to launch an attack. Countless kunai and shuriken went straight towards Tsunade and Jiraiya!

"Don't be ridiculous, this kind of attack..."

Jiraiya gave a light hum, and then he quickly formed hand seals. This time, however, it was different from before. Gamabunta released his ninjutsu at the same time as Jiraiya!

"Toad Oil Flame Bomb!"

Gamabunta spat out a massive amount of toad oil, which, combined with Jiraiya's Fire Release, instantly created a sea of ​​fire that engulfed Sasori's puppet and even engulfed Orochimaru.

Sasori immediately manipulated the Third Kazekage to condense a sand and iron wall to block it, but it still couldn't stop the high temperature from the flames outside!

"Is that a powerful fire jutsu?"

Scorpion frowned, but Orochimaru, standing to the side, chuckled leisurely.

"Don't underestimate that guy. Although he's a bit mentally unstable, his skills are undeniable. I'll be more serious from now on, so cooperate with me."

boom--

However, before Orochimaru could finish speaking, a huge roar suddenly exploded throughout the Hidden Mist Village.

The next instant, a gale struck, nearly blowing away Jiraiya's fire jutsu, and the earth trembled violently at that moment!

"What... what's going on?"

-

"Is this the strength you had when you fought the First Generation?"

On the other side of the battlefield, the Third Hokage stood on a pile of ruins, holding a giant club. He calmly looked at Kakuzu and spoke, while Kakuzu was now in a sorry state.

He glanced silently at the mask behind him and saw that three of them were already broken, which pained him deeply.

"How is this monkey so strong?"

Kakuzu was also very nervous, as he was well aware of the Third Hokage's reputation as a "Shinobi Hero".

However, he had at least met the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, so compared to them, he naturally didn't think the Third Hokage was that much stronger.

As it turned out, his idea was correct; the Third Hokage did not possess the kind of power that could induce despair in the world.

The problem is that he's not as good as those two, but compared to others, he's a figure standing on a cloud!

Even though this guy is old, and his speed, strength, and reaction time have all slowed down considerably, Kakuzu finds himself seemingly even worse off than him…

He had no chance against this guy in taijutsu, and the worst part was that he found himself far behind in ninjutsu!

He did know the chakra escape techniques of the five elements, but this old monkey actually knew them too, and was even more proficient and powerful in using them!

He could find a way to counter any ninjutsu he used, while the opponent's ninjutsu was so fast and skillful that he didn't even have a chance to react.

"Am I being completely covered?"

Kakuzu was already cursing under his breath. He realized that this old monkey was really not his usual nemesis. It was as if he was a hexagon, and so was the old monkey.

But this guy is a whole size bigger than me in every way, how am I supposed to deal with that?

"what!"

Just then, a scream suddenly came from all around, and then a figure was sent flying out of the thick fog.

Kakuzu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, and his expression immediately turned even more unpleasant. This guy was Kizo Biwa!

Juzo Biwa was going to face Kakashi Hatake, a guy who didn't seem too difficult to deal with.

It wasn't until this kid revealed his Mangekyou Sharingan and used the Flying Thunder God Technique that he knew things were much more complicated than he had imagined.

"They really need to be ruthless."

Kakuzu felt a pang of guilt upon seeing the severed arm of Juzo Biwa. This guy must have had his hand cut off by Kakashi when he was disarmed.

However, this guy did manage to pick up his hand, so there's still a possibility of saving him, as long as he can hold on until then.

"Surrender now, you have no chance left."

In a flash, Kakashi appeared behind Kakuzu and Juzo Biwa, while the Third Hokage brandished his long staff, pointing it at the two of them.

"If you don't stop, death awaits you!"

"snort"

Kakuzu wanted to retort when he heard this, but after thinking it over, he realized that he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Moreover, he really didn't have time to think about anything else right now; for him, the most important thing was how to retreat!

"Konoha."

Looking at the Third Hokage before him, who, though aged, exuded a spirited air, Kakuzu felt a surge of anger.

He was once brutally beaten by Hashirama Senju, then by Madara Uchiha, and now he's being brutally beaten by the Third Hokage. Who knows how far things will go if this continues?

He suddenly had a strange feeling that his life was about to fall into the hands of the Konoha ninja.

"It seems you're going to put up a stubborn resistance, then..."

Seeing that Kakuzu remained silent, the Third Hokage assumed that he was going to fight to the death, so he slightly rippled his chakra and prepared to make another move.

This time, he's going to put an end to this guy who's spouting nonsense.

boom--

However, at that very moment, the earth rumbled, and an overwhelmingly powerful chakra instantly permeated the entire Hidden Mist Village.

A strong wind swept in, causing even the Third Hokage and Kakashi to lose their footing for a moment.

"What's going on?"

The Third Hokage and Kakashi were both somewhat confused, but when they looked into the distance, they were immediately stunned.

"Surrender."

On the other end, Minato looked at Obito, who was covered in blood, and gazed at the gnarled roots and twisted branches of the trees in front of him.

He stood calmly on the large tree that Obito had created using Wood Release, then shook his head slightly.

"Even if you stole Obito's eyes, used space-time techniques, and possess Wood Release, you're still nothing special."

"Take off your mask, bow your head and confess your sins, and explain the origins of Wood Release; perhaps I can plead for you before the Fifth Hokage."

Minato didn't face much pressure dealing with Obito. Although he had been serving as Hokage for three years, his strength hadn't diminished.

He has been steadily advancing the development of the Flying Thunder God Technique, while at the same time constantly refining his understanding of the Rasengan.

He has already developed the "Wind Release: Rasengan" technique, but it has another name—"Light Wheel Gale Zero Style".

Although the name was ridiculed by Yuzhi, Kakashi, and even his wife Kushina, he liked it very much, and Naruto, though somewhat bewildered, also expressed his satisfaction.

So he continued to use it. Besides, Jiraiya had been in Konoha for the past three years, and even though he wasn't really used to using Sage Mode, he had still improved it to some extent.

Minato is now a fully enhanced version of himself, except for the lack of Nine-Tails chakra!

Even though Obito has grown, he is still far inferior to Minato, who was able to fight smoothly on his first use of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

However, Minato has been pondering the issue of this guy's Wood Release technique, as information about him had already surfaced many years ago.

However, it was not perfect at that time, and it did not receive as much attention as expected, which led to the Nine-Tailed Fox incident later on.

However, all of that is in the past. Minato is still most concerned about "Haori's Conjecture". He wants to figure out whether this guy's Wood Release came from Uchiha Madara or Danzo!

"If only we could get our hands on this guy's skills, we wouldn't have to break his hand every time."

Minato thought to himself, while Obito's face had turned extremely gloomy.

Although his hand wasn't broken, he could feel Minato Namikaze constantly attacking it; the aftereffects of Kamui's secret being exposed were truly too intense.

Even if he can achieve localized divine power, he cannot hide the hand that launches the attack. This may not matter when facing others, but against someone with such strong power, he will have nowhere to hide!

"Damn it, why is it always like this? Why, why?!"

Obito was roaring inwardly, but at that moment Minato suddenly launched another attack.

Almost instantly, Minato was already in front of him, and a vortex of Rasengan appeared in his hand.

"snort!"

Obito was furious, but he knew he was in a fight, so he immediately made himself intangible and quickly created distance.

However, Minato seemed completely unconcerned about this situation. He disappeared instantly after missing his target, but just then the ground suddenly began to shake.

A powerful surge of chakra, accompanied by a roar, pierced through the entire Hidden Mist Village, and terrifying chakra fluctuations spread wildly in all directions!

"What's wrong?"

Minato looked into the distance in astonishment, while Obito's expression changed drastically.

"This aura... it's the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path! Oh no, has Nagato been driven to this point?"

Obito had no idea what Nagato was thinking. In his opinion, Nagato had only used this power to deal with Hagoromo's Susanoo because he had been driven to the brink of desperation.

But this is too fast...

"Um?"

Just as Obito was pondering, he suddenly sensed a fluctuation in chakra. He immediately turned around and found that Minato Namikaze was already in front of him!

"Ninja combat requires complete concentration; you're such an amateur!"

Seeing the Rasengan so close at hand, Obito's eyes suddenly spun rapidly. In an instant, Minato and the Rasengan passed through his body together, and Minato seemed to have used too much force and did not leave immediately.

"Chance!"

Although he was worried about the situation on the other side, he would never miss such a good opportunity to kill Minato Namikaze!

However, he remained calm and dared not act recklessly. The moment his chakra stirred, his body underwent a strange change.

"Wood Release:"

Countless thick wooden spikes suddenly appeared from his body. These spikes grew extremely fast and were already heading towards the water gate in the blink of an eye!

But at that moment, Minato's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only a Rasengan spinning wildly with extreme wind chakra!

"You're relying too much on Obito's abilities! Lightning Wheel Zero!"

"Damn it!"

In an instant, the spiral shuriken erupted from Obito's body, accompanied by a distant roar like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, and shone with its own light in the misty, dark night of the Hidden Mist Village...

-

"You traitor, die!"

Near the Mizukage Building, just as Shisui's long sword was about to pierce Uchiha Itachi.

boom.

Suddenly, a violent, earth-shaking roar came from the forest behind them!

Immediately afterwards, a blinding white light flashed, illuminating the gloomy sky like the midday sun, making everyone squint!

"roar"

Before everyone present could adjust to the sudden appearance of the light, a tremendous roar that instilled fear in everyone rang out.

At the same time, a chilling aura instantly swept through the entire Hidden Mist Village, and two enormous black shadows appeared one after the other before everyone's eyes!

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that one of the enormous black figures was a giant with nine eyes.

Its skin was as dry as a tree trunk, and its whole body was a withered grayish-brown. There were many protrusions on its back like wooden stakes, making it look like a dried corpse!

And the other one.

"Isn't that him?"

"Are those guys from three years ago back again?"

"Don't panic! The Hokage of Konoha has come together to deal with the people who attacked their village back then. This is the power of the Fifth Hokage!"

"The other one is our enemy; Konoha is our ally!"

The moment all the Hidden Mist ninjas on both sides saw the enormous Susanoo covered in armor and with wings on its back.

Those unpleasant memories have resurfaced in their minds.

The brutal battle three years ago was still fresh in their minds; they would never forget that fight.

Moreover, many people on both sides of the conflict chose to join the Yuan Master because of that battle, since the Mizukage did not regard them as human beings at all.

However, seeing the equally terrifying chakra giant now, only with the roles reversed, and this time it was their ally, this strange feeling left them somewhat bewildered.

Soon, the people on Yuan Shi's side began to cheer, while the Kirigakure ninja serving the Mizukage couldn't hold back anymore, and his morale began to plummet.

Susanoo has truly cast a long shadow over them.

Moreover, this Susanoo was larger than the one from three years ago, and its aura was much stronger and more chilling. At this moment, there was a huge contrast in the morale of the two sides.

"cut!"

Itachi Uchiha was about to be killed, but the powerful shockwave caused him to miss, allowing Itachi to escape. Shisui couldn't help but curse under his breath.

However, he dared not scold Yuzhi; he only regretted his own uselessness in his heart, and Hikaru arrived at that moment.

"They run really fast."

Hikari frowned, watching Konan, who had turned into a piece of paper and wrapped up Itachi Uchiha as he fled, and spoke in a low voice.

"really."

Shisui nodded, but in her heart she was wondering why this senior had shown mercy. Where was her Amaterasu?

However, when he thought about how he was planning to kill Itachi Uchiha, he didn't dare to say a word.

He never took Itachi Uchiha seriously, which meant he didn't go all out when he attacked, as he wanted to save some strength to deal with other dangerous members of the Akatsuki.

"Perhaps, Senior Ying feels the same way?"

Shisui thought to himself, while in the distance, the enormous Susanoo, wielding a long sword, swung it once more, visibly compressing the air as it slashed towards the 'Gedo Mazo'.

The 'Outer Path Statue' roared and swung its arms to meet the long sword, their extreme power colliding fiercely once again.

Boom, boom, boom—

Two enormous beings, which appeared monstrous to outsiders, clashed in battle, making everything around them seem utterly vulnerable.

Whether it was the forest beneath their feet or the houses and towers surrounding them, everything was swept away in an instant without any hindrance.

A massive tremor, accompanied by billowing dust, swept outwards in all directions. The earth collapsed wildly at that moment, and visible chasms began to spread throughout Kirigakure!

"Run! Create distance! It's not safe here!"

"Tell the barrier team to be aware of the underground bunkers!"

"Get out of the way!"

Although both Hagoromo and Nagato were consciously heading outwards, the area covered by their battle was simply too vast.

To put it bluntly, any strike they make now could alter the landscape!

Regardless of whose allegiance they were, the Hidden Mist ninja present began to give orders loudly, and many Hidden Mist ninja quickly retreated to create distance.

Not only were the Konoha Chunin forced to stop, but they did not retreat; instead, they all came to the vicinity of the Mizukage Building.

This is a better place to watch, and they all believe in their own abilities.

At the same time, the Akatsuki group also arrived, but they were all far away from the Konoha group, and neither side showed any intention of making a move.

They all looked up and stared at the two 'monsters' fighting in the distance!

"He's really powerful. I'm afraid this Fifth Hokage is no less formidable than Madara Uchiha back then."

Orochimaru stood atop Manda's head, gazing into the distance and licking his lips, while Sasori beside him remained silent.

No wonder Orochimaru, even after escaping, kept insisting on keeping his promise. Making a promise to someone like that and then failing to fulfill it...

"The outcome will probably be death!"

Sasori suddenly felt some sympathy and understanding for Orochimaru, but what relieved him was that Orochimaru had basically fulfilled his promise.

Orochimaru seemed very curious about what the Fifth Hokage wanted, so he hadn't handed over the person yet. Sasori felt he should give Orochimaru a hint.

"I think we should hand him over as soon as possible, this guy."

"I know, don't worry."

Orochimaru's body stiffened slightly, then he nodded decisively. He was going to hand the person over anyway; it was just a matter of time.

Now it's just that the time has been brought forward a bit, and he also regrets that he hasn't been able to extract what he wanted to know yet.

"What kind of monster has this damned organization messed with?"

On the other side, Kakuzu watched everything in the distance and couldn't help but curse inwardly, even though the fight between the two monsters had allowed him and Juzo Biwa to escape.

But looking at that Susanoo, he couldn't help but think of Madara Uchiha!

Whether it's Madara Uchiha of this world or Madara Uchiha who recently taught them a lesson, Haori, like them, has mastered the ultimate Susanoo.

Of all people to mess with, the Akatsuki had to provoke Konoha, and Konoha even had the Third Hokage who was completely overshadowing them. This made him really want to quit.

"Let's wait and see; maybe this leader can do something."

Kakuzu muttered to himself, but looking at the chilling Susanoo, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Is the ninja world about to welcome a new Madara Uchiha?"

This idea wasn't just on his mind; everyone who participated in the battle where they were swept aside by "Uchiha Madara" couldn't help but have the same thought.

"Nagato."

Konan couldn't help but murmur to herself, but she didn't speak. She knew very well that everyone was waiting, waiting for Nagato, as the leader, to do something.

However, Itachi Uchiha was clearly acting out of character. He had only read some fragmentary records of the battles in both Iwagakure and Kumogakure. Only now did he realize the power of the Hagoromo!

"Damn it, is this all the power this guy has?"

Uchiha Itachi watched all this with gritted teeth, his heart also somewhat turbulent, but he quickly clenched his fists.

"As expected, if we don't eliminate you, how can the ninja world be safe at all!"

Yuzhi wasn't quite sure what the others were thinking, but he himself looked rather gloomy.

"That bastard Nagato, how did he come up with such a turtle-shell fighting style?"

Hagoromo knew all too well what the "Gedo Mazo" was; it was the body of the Ten-Tails, or another form of the Divine Tree!

Its exterior is incredibly hard, making it virtually immune to any ninjutsu.

Yuri's Susanoo can be considered the pinnacle of physical attack, but every strike against the "Gedo Mazo" always feels incredibly sluggish.

Nagato, without any instruction, learned from the future Sasuke to hide inside the Gedo Mazo instead of standing on the wooden doll's head like Hashirama Senju did in the past.

This turtle-shell-like fighting style really frustrated Yuzhi. Fortunately, this "Gedo Mazo" had not yet absorbed the power of the Tailed Beasts, so it could not release high-end products like the Tailed Beast Ball.

"Moreover, this tortoise shell itself has not recovered. The longer Nagato uses it, the more disadvantageous it will be for him. Although I am frustrated in the fight, Nagato is probably in a worse state than me."

Yuzhi muttered to himself, but he also planned to make some other preparations, since he had demonstrated similar spatial abilities and he also knew sage techniques.

"Using half of Kamui might have some effect, but..."

Yukina was unclear about the internal structure of the Gedo Mazo, since it was a "damaged version" of the Divine Tree, and he couldn't determine the state of its internal space.

Perhaps he was overthinking it, or perhaps it was indeed very complicated. Therefore, Yu Zhi decided to test it out properly, and at the same time, he secretly activated his own immortal technique!

"Cough cough cough"

Inside the Gedo Mazo, within that layered, mountainous space, Nagato floated, observing the outside world through the Ten-Tails.

However, he is not feeling well right now. Relying on the Gedo Mazo to fight is indeed effective against Susanoo, but it also takes a huge toll on him!

The Gedo Mazo had not recovered to begin with, and after obtaining it, he discovered that the chakra within the Gedo Mazo was severely depleted, as if it had been drained.

But he felt that it must have been done by the Sage of Six Paths, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he just needs to use his own power to make up for all of this.

This puts too much pressure on him, so he must end the fight as soon as possible!

Staring at the massive Susanoo, Nagato clapped his hands together, his face contorted as he roared, "Weaken it as quickly as possible, then extract its chakra, then..."

In an instant, the Gedo Mazo opened its huge mouth, and a giant dragon formed from chakra shot out from its mouth, swirling and roaring as it rushed towards Yuki!

"This move."

Looking at the roaring dragon approaching, Yuzhi suddenly remembered the technique from the original work that absorbed the souls and chakra of Rain Ninja and Root ninjas.

"And I was right, the body inside the Ten-Tails' shell is indeed extraordinary, but I saw you!"

The Gedo Mazo opened its mouth wide, but Hagoromo did not see Nagato. However, he did manage to lock onto Nagato's aura through this opening of its mouth.

Looking at the roaring dragon, Susanoo moved slightly, and in an instant, a chakra filled with the aura of nature appeared on Susanoo's body.

At that instant, Yuri also controlled Susanoo, raising the long sword in her hand, and the next moment, the sword swung down!

hum-

In that rapid whooshing sound, space seemed to be cleaved in two in an instant, the earth split apart, and the sky tilted.

The blade, imbued with the ultimate power of Susanoo and natural chakra, collided instantly with the chakra dragon, unleashing an intense burst of energy!

boom--

A visible, waveless energy surged between them at that moment, and the next second, the sky once again turned a blinding white!

"Be careful, everyone, protect yourselves!"

Not far away, people from Konoha, Akatsuki, and Kirigakure all shouted at the top of their lungs at this moment.

In the next instant, a mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and the cracked earth rapidly spread into the distance!

The earth trembled violently at that moment, as if an earthquake had struck.

On a wasteland near the explosion, Tobirama Senju felt his body slowly turning into dust. Looking at the two enormous monsters in the distance, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This power, this Susanoo... is this kid really Madara Uchiha reincarnated?"
