I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

He was quite unfamiliar with this person who sounded like a member of the same clan, and whose tone clearly conveyed a sense of apprehension.

"The same person who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan was Senju Kumotei's most loyal henchman. Madara, the opportunity to kill Senju Kumotei is gone now. Let's retreat first and think about other things later."

At the same time, upon hearing Zetsu's reminder, Obito, feeling a deep sense of resentment and regret, took a deep breath and quickly suppressed his thoughts before immediately trying to persuade Madara.

Although the latter has recovered somewhat, he is still far from his peak condition.

Facing a thousand Konoha ninjas and reinforcements from Uchiha Shisui, plus Senju Kumo-tei, who had also recovered considerably, and Tsunade, who was still at her peak, if they stubbornly continued fighting, they would most likely be trapped here.

"I never expected that there would still be someone in the Uchiha clan who has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan." Madara said with surprise, then looked deeply at Yun Ting and said regretfully, "Our duel can only wait until next time."

Ban isn't a stubborn fool.

Thousand Hands Cloud Court's strength was already at the same level as his, and now that reinforcements had arrived, he knew very well who would win if they really fought.

Knowing that he had finally lived a second life after so many years of planning, he was not going to waste his life before fulfilling his long-cherished wish of the Eye of the Moon.

Therefore, after listening to what Zetsu and Obito said, Madara said one last thing and immediately turned and left.

As a seasoned veteran who survived the Warring States period, he was well aware of the principle of fleeing when things turned sour.

"Don't run!"

At that moment, seeing Madara and Obito about to escape, Tsunade chased after them without a second thought.

"His impatient nature hasn't changed at all."

Seeing this, Yun Ting had no choice but to follow.

He did not believe that he and his companions could stop the other side.

That is indeed the case.

Tsunade, who was the first to rush out, quickly came to an abrupt stop.

The reason for this is that a large area in front has already been covered by Obito's long-range Kamui.

Taking advantage of this lull, Obito had already used the Kamui dimension to teleport a great distance with Madara.

Damn it!

Tsunade, unwilling to accept defeat, smashed the boulder beside her with a single punch.

There will be another chance next time.

Yun Ting, who had come up to her, put his arm around Tsunade's shoulder, comforting her while watching Madara and Obito's departing figures.

Regardless of the fight, if Obito really wanted to escape, given his current state of near recovery, there was virtually no chance of him catching up.

Yun Ting shook his head.

Although this operation eliminated Pain, it brought them the even more troublesome Madara.

It wasn't a complete success, but at least it completely exposed the opponent's last trump card.

This also relieves me of the worry that the future may change.

Let's wait until next time.

When we meet again, I'll give you guys a huge surprise.

......

A few minutes later, thick smoke, accompanied by the sound of running, swept in from not far away.

Yun Ting, who had been helped by Tsunade to change into clean clothes, stood quietly waiting.

Soon, as the commotion ceased, a powerful, unified voice, echoing from a thousand people, resounded:

"Hokage-sama! Tsunade-sama!"

"Thank you for your hard work," Yun Ting said, waving his hand.

After the interaction, Uchiha Shisui, who was in the lead, came up and first greeted Tsunade next to Yun Ting. Finally, he said to Yun Ting, "I apologize, Hokage-sama, for being a little late."

"It's not that we're late; we can only blame the enemy for being too strong." Yun Ting looked around at the devastated battlefield and waved his hand.

Even he didn't expect Madara to be resurrected at this moment.

From beginning to end, all his preparations were solely aimed at Payne.

The battle with Madara just now was purely a matter of chance.

Otherwise, he would have already brought a large group of Konoha's top fighters to gang up on him, and then we'd see if Madara would still excitedly say "Let's dance!"

The original purpose of the thousand-strong ninja army led by Uchiha Shisui was not to reinforce this place, but to garrison the border where fire, wind, and earth are close together in order to deal with the increasingly serious situation.

It's already quite impressive that they arrived so quickly and proactively.

"The enemy?" Looking at the surrounding scene, which seemed to have been bombed and was so devastated that even a battle of thousands of people could not have caused it, Shisui Tong Kong shrank back slightly and asked in surprise, "I wonder who was fighting the Hokage? How could they still have the strength to escape?"

As someone who frequently sparred with Yun Ting, he was well aware of the latter's strength.

It's astonishing that someone has managed to escape from this person's grasp. Even Zhi Shui couldn't help but be surprised.

“Uchiha Madara,” Yun Ting said directly.

"Uchiha... Madara?" Shisui's face showed utter surprise.

He wondered if he had misheard; how could someone who had been dead for so many years suddenly reappear?

"It really is Uchiha Madara. That old bastard has crawled out of his coffin again." Tsunade affirmed with a displeased look. "And Uchiha Obito, he was the one who started the disturbance on the night of the Nine-Tails."

"Uchiha Madara...Uchiha...Obito?" Upon hearing such explosive news, Shisui's brain was overloaded and he needed to catch his breath.

Not only did Madara Uchiha come back to life, but Obito Uchiha, a former hero of the village and the pride of the Uchiha clan, also came back to life and started opposing Konoha.

What an incredible plot twist!

At this moment, if it weren't for the fact that the speakers were Yun Ting and Tsunade, Shisui would have thought they were joking.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ting explained simply: "The Rinnegan has a technique called Rinne Rebirth, which can revive the dead. Madara Uchiha came back to life in this way. As for Obito Uchiha, he never really died, since his body was never brought back."

"I see."

Zhi Shui nodded, indicating that he understood the general idea.

However, his expression quickly turned serious again.

Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha, why are they both Uchiha?

This situation is not good for the Uchiha clan living in Konoha Village!

"Lord Hokage, the Uchiha clan is willing to do everything in its power to hunt down and kill Madara and Obito, those two traitors," Shisui quickly declared.

For the Uchiha clan members who have finally been freed from their shackles and can now live happily in Konoha.

Even if the former clan leader, Madara Uchiha, were to summon them again, or even if the ancestors of the Uchiha clan were to arrive, they wouldn't be able to take away a single member of their clan.

Whether it's Shisui at the moment or the other Uchiha clan members who later receive the news, they have absolutely no goodwill towards Madara and Obito, who are enemies of Konoha, and would even like to get rid of them as soon as possible.

Because Konoha is their true home now.

Chapter 214 The Unexpected Arrival of Xiao Nan

"Don't worry, I know the Uchiha clan's loyalty very well."

Knowing full well what was going on with Zhi Shui's statement, Yun Ting offered words of comfort.

"Madara and Obito are not only traitors to the Uchiha clan, but also traitors to Konoha. It would be best if the Uchiha clan were willing to lend a hand in dealing with them."

Yun Ting would not allow the Uchiha clan to deal with Madara and Obito's combination alone.

Although the Uchiha clan is no longer confined to the village and has become much stronger due to their frequent life-and-death experiences, dealing with the latter is still like throwing meat buns at a dog.

Yun Ting said this to reassure the Uchiha clan.

At this moment, Shisui felt much more at ease after hearing what the Hokage said.

Just as he was about to say something, still deeply concerned about the Uchiha clan, Yun Ting reached out to stop him, looking into the distance with a hint of surprise, and said:

Why is she here?

Zhi Shui paused for a moment, then followed Yun Ting's gaze into the distance.

After a few breaths, his gaze sharpened slightly as he asked, "Those are... members of the Akatsuki?"

With the Sharingan's powerful perception, Shisui quickly discovered that the black dot flying from afar was a member wearing the Akatsuki uniform described in the intelligence report.

“He is indeed a member of Akatsuki, and one of the original founders. But right now, it’s too early to say for sure,” Yun Ting said calmly.

Soon, under the watchful eyes of the Konoha ninja who had already received their orders and had not yet taken any action, a woman wearing a black Akatsuki uniform with red clouds and a paper flower on her long blue hair flapped her white wings and descended from the sky.

The visitor was none other than Xiao Nan.

She was accompanied by two corpses completely wrapped in pieces of paper.

It must be Nagato and Yahiko.

"You're very brave," Yun Ting said, looking at Xiao Nan as she arrived.

Whether it was collecting Nagato's body under his and Madara's noses before, or now coming directly to the Konoha ninja led by him, he was undoubtedly handing his life over to others.

"This is the only way for us to get revenge," Konan said, her eyes filled with deep sorrow.

"Revenge? Are you looking to take revenge on me?" Yun Ting asked calmly.

In retrospect, it was he who ruined Yahiko's body. If Obito and Zetsu hadn't intervened, he would have been the one to take Nagato's life.

"It wasn't you!"

When Xiao Nan said this, her tone was very decisive, and there was no hint of reluctance on her face.

"The battles between you and Nagato were based on a clash of ideologies. Since I was able to defeat Nagato fairly and squarely, and it was a matter of strength, I have no complaints. What I truly resent is that man who used Nagato as a tool, who deceived and maliciously used the name 'Madara' from beginning to end! And the real Madara who forced Nagato to risk his life to bring him back to life!"

Everything that happened today was too sudden.

The fake "Madara" wearing a spiral mask, Black Zetsu who can control the Rinnegan, and Madara who finally makes his true appearance using the Rinne Rebirth technique.

All of this felt like a drama that had been going on for years, finally coming to a real conclusion.

After retrieving Nagato's body, Konan, who had also retrieved Yahiko's body, did not leave but instead observed the battle between Kumo-tei and Madara from a distance.

Her observation focused particularly on the latter's use of the Rinnegan.

During this time, while constantly reflecting on the past, she gradually gained a clearer understanding of the truth as time went by.
