I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Peng!Peng!Peng!

Amidst a cracking sound, a massive number of vines, far more powerful than Hashirama Senju's Impure Wood Release, suddenly burst forth from Orochimaru's feet, strangling him and the two Impure Wood Release forms.

In an instant, the two undead bodies, caught completely off guard, were shredded to pieces.

After dodging for a while, Orochimaru, facing Yun Ting who was in full power in Sage Mode, was quickly entangled by a large number of vines.

A large amount of chakra was absorbed by the wood vines on his body, and Orochimaru's aura weakened considerably. As a result, his unstable Impure World Reincarnation technique, which was not yet fully mature, dissipated.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique, I didn't expect Orochimaru to have developed it to this extent."

In front of Orochimaru, who was tied up in a "big" shape, a red and white striped hem fluttered in the wind, somewhat like a performance art piece.

Yun Ting, who appeared in front of the other party in an instant, looked at the Uchiha Flame Formation in front of him and said to his "old friend" whom he had not seen for a long time without turning his head.

"Hehe~ Dear Hokage, it's been a long time!"

Although they were once again in a situation where they were at each other's mercy, Orochimaru, having experienced it once before, was not afraid and greeted them with a smile.

"But now is not a good time for old friends to talk. You know, compared to me, that guy calling himself 'Ban' inside, who knows what he's doing, and that inhuman Zetsu are obviously up to a much bigger conspiracy!"

"Of course I know. Also, Orochimaru, don't you think the term 'neither human nor demon' suits you better?"

As Yun Ting spoke, he clapped his hands together sharply.

Countless thick vines crawled out from the ground outside the Uchiha Flame Formation, like waves crashing against the barrier without missing a single corner.

In an instant, the originally fiery red barrier was quickly covered by vines, which were visibly and rapidly pushing inwards.

It seemed like only a few breaths were needed before the Uchiha Fire Formation was about to be broken.

"Black Zetsu, is it ready?"

Inside, seeing himself being constantly squeezed inward by the massive sea of ​​trees, Obito Uchiha's eyes twitched violently, and he asked anxiously.

"That's it!"

Having suppressed Nagato's last resistance and completely controlled Black Zetsu's response, the hands controlling Nagato clapped together swiftly, their eyes filled with anticipation:

"The Art of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life!"

In an instant, the resurrection technique, which comes at the cost of the caster's life, is activated.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle~~~

As Nagato's life force, under Black Zetsu's control, was completely drained, a massive surge of life force instantly erupted from the coffin that Black Zetsu had summoned. Even through the thick coffin, one could still hear the sound of withered wood coming back to life.

At this moment, Yun Ting, who was about to break the Uchiha Fire Formation, frowned.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, unable to hide his surprise, exclaimed, "What an enormous amount of chakra!"

next second.

Boom!

The coffin lid, which was engraved with the Uchiha fan symbol, was suddenly kicked over.

Amidst the thick dust kicked up by the latter's fall, a foot stepped out from the inside first.

Then,

A voice filled with emotion rang out:

"The day has finally come!"

Kacha~ Kacha~

The clanging of metal plates on the armor echoed through the dust.

Clad in red armor from the Warring States period, and having been restored to his peak condition directly through the Samsara Rebirth Technique, the man named Uchiha Madara, under the joyful gaze of Zetsu and the complex gaze of Uchiha Obito, strode out of the coffin and basked in the sunlight.

Looking down at his hands, which showed no signs of aging under the sunlight, Madara Uchiha nodded in satisfaction.

It is indeed the art of reincarnation and rebirth.

Then, he looked at Nagato, who was now silent.

Upon noticing the latter's emaciated frame with tubes inserted in his back, bearing no resemblance to a member of the Uzumaki clan, and the Black Zetsu currently detaching from him.

Although somewhat surprised, he didn't take it to heart. As he removed the pair of Rinnegan from Nagato's eye sockets and replaced them with Sharingan that weren't originally his, he casually said:

"It seems that a lot of unplanned things happened after I died."

“Indeed, Lord Madara.” Facing the real Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu said with utmost respect, “There are many… well, things that went against the plan that I originally wanted to report to you, Lord Madara, but given the current situation…”

Before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, the Uchiha Flame Formation was suddenly interrupted by a deafening roar as it shattered completely.

Looking at the sea of ​​trees sweeping in from all directions, it shrugged and said helplessly, "That's the situation right now..."

However, Madara Uchiha had already lost interest in listening at this point.

Upon seeing the familiar Wood Release attack sweeping in like a tidal wave, his eyes suddenly lit up as he excitedly shouted:

"Hashirama!"

"Is that you?!"

In his view, only his lifelong rival, Hashirama Senju, could unleash such a level of Wood Release!

Although he didn't know how Domyo's old friend, who was supposed to be dead, had appeared here, Madara's fighting spirit was burning fiercely. He didn't think about it anymore and was ready to fight his opponent in his strongest form.

"Lord Madara, this person is not..." Black Zetsu wanted to remind him.

However, Madara, whose mind was completely occupied with Hashirama, paid no attention to it.

In an instant, the powerful chakra that erupted from him blew Black Zetsu away.

As the overwhelming Wood Release attacks came, a blue giant grew out of his body, wielding a giant chakra blade that he had condensed, cutting down all the surrounding trees.

"That's far from enough, Hashirama!"

"Come out now, let's have another good fight!"

Inside the blue Susanoo, Madara shouted with overwhelming desire.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, Madara. The one attacking you right now is not the First Hokage."

Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice rang out beside Ban's ear.

Under the latter's astonished gaze, Yun Ting, who had to eliminate Orochimaru in advance due to the appearance of a formidable enemy and no longer cared about which trouble he might emerge from in the future, appeared in front of Madara, looking at this true enemy with an unusually serious expression.

'The Samsara Rebirth Technique? I didn't expect Madara to be resurrected at this time.' Looking at Madara's vibrant body, Obito and Zetsu frowned slightly in surprise.

"Who are you?" Ban looked at Yun Ting with a questioning look in his eyes.

Things seemed to be quite different from what he had imagined.

What about Hashirama?

At that moment, a distorted space appeared beside Madara, and Obito Uchiha stepped out, calmly addressing Madara:

"He is the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Senju Kumo-tei, who inherited the Wood Release from Senju Hashirama."

"Hokage? Senju? Wood Release?" Madara's face showed great surprise. "When did the Senju clan produce such a person? And he even inherited Hashirama's Wood Release."

“Not many years after your death.” Obito Uchiha was also frustrated.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Thousand Hands Cloud Court, he wouldn't have needed to pull this guy out of his coffin at all; wouldn't it have been better for him to be the master himself?

However, no one in the entire ninja world can currently restrain Senju Kumo-tei.

The only option left was to bring back Madara Uchiha, whose strength was equally formidable, from the underworld.

At this moment, feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Madara, which was in no way inferior to that of Senju Kumo-tei, Obito Uchiha, though somewhat regretful, finally felt relieved.

Nearby, Madara's fighting spirit immediately subsided considerably upon learning that his opponent was not Hashirama.

But after hearing Obito's explanation...

After all, he was the inheritor of Wood Release, and someone that neither the former nor Zetsu could defeat. He still looked at Yun Ting with a little interest and said, "Young Senju who possesses the power of Hashirama's Wood Release, compared to Hashirama, how much of his power do you think you have inherited?"

"Compared to the First Generation, you'll know how much my power compares once you experience it for yourself, Madara."

As Yun Ting answered calmly, he noticed that Konan, who had been ignored by everyone before, had now risked coming to Nagato's body, which Madara had discarded like trash. She glared hatefully at Obito and Zetsu before taking Nagato away.

He did not stop it.

Similarly, Madara completely ignored them, not even bothering to give them a glance.

As for Obito Uchiha, although he glanced at it, he couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to this useless tool.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the great battle became increasingly tense.

Soon, after finishing examining Yun Ting, Ban casually brushed the dust off his armor and said with a hint of anticipation:

"In that case, let's see if you're qualified to dance with me!"

Chapter 204 Immortal Body, Immortal Eyes

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

It was Uchiha Madara who first unleashed his signature Wood Release ninjutsu.

In an instant, a large number of vines stretched out from the ground behind him, transforming into countless waves of trees amidst the roaring sounds, surging towards the Cloud Court.

"Wood Release? You're using the Senju clan's power instead of the Uchiha clan's? Madara, were you scared by the First Hokage?"

Yun Ting, unmoved by the scene before him, scoffed indifferently.

Knowing there was no possibility of reconciliation with Uchiha Madara, and given Madara's status as a traitor to Konoha, he naturally wouldn't speak kindly to this so-called senior.

"Hmph! I just wanted to test if you were worthy to fight me. If you can't even withstand my Wood Release, then you shouldn't disgrace Hashirama's name anymore; you should just kill yourself!"

Madara Uchiha, with his arms crossed, said coldly.

"Is that so? Then let me show you what genuine Wood Release is all about!"

"Wood Release: Advent of the World of Trees!"

The same Tree Realm descended, appearing behind Yun Ting in the same manner.

At that moment, the entire world seemed to have transformed into a sea of ​​trees.

Two towering green lines, like ocean waves, were visible to the naked eye, their boundaries indistinct. They carried an unparalleled, majestic momentum, and amidst the immense tremors of the entire world, they seemed like two great rivers colliding, frantically churning and strife between the two of them.

Peng peng peng peng peng peng...
