Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

Needless to say, Uchiha Arashiyama always does his best to complete Sogen's orders, even if he has many questions in his mind... He can ask them when he has time, or even if he can't explain them clearly, it doesn't matter.

In any case, he believed that Zongxian would not do anything to harm the village or the family.

Furthermore, after realizing the possibility that Sogen might have other motives, the more he pondered it, the stranger Sogen's actions seemed. His failure to decisively take down Orochimaru's remnants immediately and his deliberate restriction of Chihaya and the others from getting in his way were definitely suspicious.

He sensed malice in it.

Zongxian, that guy,

They're holding back bad water!

This is the conclusion that Uchiha Arashiyama came to after careful consideration. The only question is who the unfortunate target will be in the future!

[Chapter 432. Heavenly Obstruction Star Reconciles with Evil Seal]

If Sogen knew the slander Uchiha Arashiyama was making against him, he would definitely refute it righteously. How could someone smear someone like that? Everything he did was to protect the safety of the village and his clan!

As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and a wrecked ship still has three pounds of iron.

The Akatsuki organization might be hiding some unknown tricks, secretly eyeing the village.

If he were to throw a punch at this moment, using up all his strength, the village's defenses would be greatly weakened. If anything unexpected happened, it would be difficult to handle. It was precisely to prevent that unspeakable thing from happening that he arranged for Chihaya, Itachi, and Elder Fugaku to stay behind.

It just means I'll have to work a little harder.

Spend more time dealing with these immediate problems.

As for the possibility that it cannot be resolved... that's impossible. The strength of Uchiha Madara in his Edo Tensei form is only so-so. After sparring for several dozen rounds, he already has a pretty good idea of ​​the situation. As for the other side, Haku and the others are even less of a problem!

With a little time, you can always get it.

of course,

If something drastic happens before he completely eliminates these enemies, it's perfectly understandable that he'll be unable to wipe out all these villains on his own. Makes sense, right?

There are absolutely no loopholes.

"Don't let me down!"

Zongxian stood on Susanoo's forehead, muttering to himself.

They had already exchanged blows with their ancestor, Madara Uchiha, for over a hundred rounds. The greatsword and the pair of curved wild swords had clashed countless times, yet neither could gain the upper hand. Both had honed their taijutsu skills to the limit in the ninja world, and their strength was evenly matched, with almost no weaknesses to be found in either of them.

In other words,

Their battle has reached a very delicate stalemate.

Madara Uchiha launched wave after wave of formidable attacks, which Sogen 'desperately' deflected time and again. No matter the type of attack Madara launched, he always managed to withstand it, but he had no strength left to counterattack, and could only maintain this desperate defensive posture. Meanwhile, on the other side, the Six Paths clones were exceptionally fierce, forcing Haku and the others into a steady retreat…

seem,

Rather than dealing with Madara Uchiha, is the plan to first eliminate Haku and his Orochimaru remnants?

This conclusion

A consensus has already been reached to some extent.

Even Madara Uchiha had a gloomy face. He stood inside the forehead of the azure Susanoo, watching the deep crimson Susanoo block his attack once again, and then take a few steps back, flattening a large area of ​​forest and continuing to widen the distance between the battlefield and Konoha Village.

"Multitasking, how arrogant and disgusting! You brat!"

Madara Uchiha roared in a low voice.

His face showed anger at being underestimated and looked down upon. Even Hashirama wouldn't have dared to be so disrespectful back then, yet this brat dared to be distracted when facing him. Others might not know the details of the Six Paths clones, but he did.

Unlike shadow clones,

The thoughts of the six clones and the original body are connected, which means that Uchiha Sogen is now truly multitasking. Even though the Rinnegan gives them the talent of multitasking, that is when the original body does not move and they can control the actions of the six clones as if they were their own limbs.

If the main body also participates in the battle,

But it's not that simple.

"Not only are you simultaneously managing two battlefields, but you're also constantly widening the distance between them... However, this suits my purposes perfectly." Madara Uchiha closed his eyes, and the next second his eyes opened, no longer displaying the crimson color, but instead turning into light purple ripples. "The power of the Rinnegan... is not something you alone possess."

With the change in eyes,

Susanoo also underwent a new change at this moment.

The azure chakra flames, which seemed to leap like fire, suddenly blazed up. In the next instant, they returned to calm. Susanoo had transformed into a two-faced, four-armed form, with each of its four arms forming a different hand seal. Uchiha Madara, inside Susanoo, had also completed hand seals.

"Ninja Technique·Tianzhi Zhenxing."

Madara Uchiha unleashed this ninjutsu belonging to the Rinnegan Pain Path.

A massive shadow appeared in the sky.

That is--

Meteorites with a diameter exceeding 100 meters.

Piercing through the sea of ​​clouds,

It is falling downwards.

"What is this?"

The ANBU member standing behind Kimimaro looked up at the sky, his expression behind the mask completely out of control. His eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and confusion, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He instinctively sensed the threat of death.

"No, really?"

"Am I... dreaming?"

Listening to his subordinates' murmurs, Kimimaro had no time to reprimand them, because he himself was stunned at this moment, "This thing... is completely on a different level, is this... the power of a god?"

Kimimaro was completely unable to control his emotions.

Fortunately,

He did not forget the responsibilities he bore as captain.

"Back up, back up, back up quickly!"

Kimimaro forcibly suppressed his restless emotions and ordered his equally frightened and helpless companions to run away as far as possible. Even though they were already on the edge of the battlefield, it was better to stay further away for safety's sake. They could always close the distance after the attack ended.

Not only their team, but other ANBU squads around them also chose to continue retreating.

Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Obito, who were in the middle of a battle, also noticed the falling meteorite.

"Zong Xian..."

Zhi Shui was secretly grinding his teeth.

He can't deal with Obito Uchiha anytime soon. Kamui's ability to change his body between reality and illusion is quite troublesome, especially since Obito Uchiha isn't in a hurry to win, and his steady approach makes it difficult for him to find an opportunity to win.

then,

They could only hope that Sogen could quickly defeat his opponent and then join forces to deal with Obito Uchiha.

Instead of receiving help from Zongxian,

Instead, it was a meteorite falling from the sky. Such a suicidal method could not have been used by Sogen. In other words, it was the work of Madara Uchiha, our ancestor? Damn it, if this thing falls, it will be a real problem. We must find a way to deal with it.

Flying Thunder God Technique

Shouldn't we be able to get rid of such a big thing?

"Don't even think about doing anything bad."

As if seeing through Shisui's thoughts, Obito's fighting style suddenly changed, abandoning his previous steady approach and becoming extremely aggressive. He was clearly preparing to entangle Shisui and prevent him from intervening in the battle between Madara Uchiha and Mugen Uchiha.

Even though doing so would expose him to considerable risks.

"Don't get in my way."

Shisui gritted his teeth, swung his Sky Blade, and charged towards Uchiha Obito with intense killing intent.

On another battlefield

"That's... there's actually such power."

Senju Tobirama's eyes were filled with astonishment.

Despite his surprise, his body obediently followed Bai's will and continued fighting, skillfully unleashing the Water Barrier Technique. The surging water formed a ring-shaped barrier, blocking the rockets launched by Zongxian's Asura Path clone.

The thunderous explosion failed to break through the Water Barrier Technique released by the Second Hokage.

"This Madara guy... is this a new power he's mastered?"

Hashirama Senju frowned.

This technique has never been seen used by Madara before, which can only mean that Madara mastered this power after his death.

"What's going on? A meteorite?"

Jugo, who was retreating with Karin and Anko between his legs, was also stunned. "This, this... is this still ninjutsu?"

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Bai, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Zongxian's Hungry Ghost Path clone, and asked, "Bai, what about us..."

Bai is also fighting.

Zongxian's six Paths clones launched an extremely fierce attack. Except for the Hell Path, which did not charge to the front line, even the Animal Path had joined the battle. The five clones, with their minds connected and their vision shared, worked together to force them to retreat step by step. It was only thanks to the fearless fighting of the three previous Hokage, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with Haku himself joining the battle, that they were not quickly defeated.

however,

Over time,

The situation, unsurprisingly, continued to deteriorate.

First, Hiruzen Sarutobi was caught off guard and his soul was extracted by the Human Path clone, which directly undermined the Impure World Reincarnation technique's immortality. Without such a manpower, the situation suddenly became very difficult.

"Shigego, exchange."

Bai suddenly shouted.

This is an opportunity, a good opportunity to put his previous decision into action. The meteorite was indeed terrifying, but judging from its landing point... it wasn't aimed at them. They would probably be affected, but it wouldn't be to the point that they would have to face that terrifying attack head-on.

This tactic needs to be countered.

It's Uchiha Mugen. If luck is on his side, his chance will come when Uchiha Mugen concentrates his efforts on dealing with the meteorite.

"Watch out for that guy with the word 'human' etched on his mask."
