I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

"Then let me show you what true power is!"

Chapter 226 Have you had enough?

"The Grand Burial Seal of the Gold-Plated Layer!"

Upon hearing Uchiha's words, Rasa, sensing something was amiss, didn't wait any longer and immediately took action.

The surface of the large amount of gold dust, which had already been completely covered by spots, suddenly lit up with a sealing spell.

With Luo Sha no longer concealing the influx of more gold dust, in an instant, a huge pyramid made entirely of gold dust, its surface covered with black sealing symbols, appeared before everyone, tightly sealing Ban inside.

"It's over!"

In the distance, Maki, a Jonin from Sunagakure who was anxiously watching the battle, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his Kazekage unleash the Sand Gold Burial Seal.

Having witnessed firsthand how the One-Tailed Shukaku was repeatedly rendered powerless against this technique, he firmly believed that no one could escape it.

However, at that moment, Qing, who had activated his White Eyes, looked increasingly grim and said:

No! It's far from over!

In the Byakugan's vision, the chakra that Madara Uchiha should have sealed away not only did not subside, but instead expanded at an unimaginable speed.

"What...what is that?" Looking at all this, Ao swallowed hard in horror. "Even tailed beasts are far inferior to it! Uchiha Madara...is he even human?"

"What do you mean, 'Aren't you human?'"

To the naked eye, everything across the way was calm. Deira, who thought Madara Uchiha was gone, looked at the suddenly acting crazy Kirigakure ninja beside him with a puzzled expression. Just as he was about to kindly suggest that he see a doctor, suddenly!

"They're here!" Qing shouted, his forehead covered in sweat.

"What is it..." Deidara hadn't finished speaking when a violent roar from inside the pyramid interrupted him.

Then, to his astonishment, a pair of enormous arms covered in heavy armor emerged from the pyramid, followed by a huge head wearing a helmet, a torso, wings, and finally, feet.

When this blue-armored giant, which was much larger than the Susanoo that Madara had previously used, truly stood up, Deidara finally understood why the originally incredibly solid gold dust layer Great Burial Seal had collapsed instantly, and he also understood what Ao meant by "non-human".

"This is truly... another kind of artistic beauty!"

Clad in heavy armor, with outstretched wings, his form surpasses even the mountain peaks, resembling a god of war descending to earth.

It is the arrival of the complete Susanoo!

At this moment, even the ninjas watching from afar felt a deep sense of despair upon witnessing this incredibly shocking scene.

Moreover, facing the enemy head-on at extremely close range, one can better feel the power of the four shadows.

"Is this... Susanoo?"

Because Uchiha Shisui had defeated the Two-Tails Yugito, and A had some understanding of Susanoo, he looked at the Susanoo belonging to Madara in front of him with disbelief.

He is far more powerful than Uchiha Shisui!

Is the difference really that big?

Rasa stared blankly at the large amount of gold dust scattered around him. The power that could seal the tailed beasts seemed so insignificant in front of the person opposite him.

"If Madara Uchiha is this strong, it's hard to imagine how powerful Hashirama Senju must have been back then." Mei Terumi shook her head with a wry smile. "And then there's Senju Kumo-tei, who was able to fight Madara Uchiha, who was even stronger. Compared to him, we seem to have been too arrogant."

At this moment, the three people who were the shadows of the village also felt a sense of despair.

Madara Uchiha's power was simply far beyond imagination.

Not only the three of them, but also Onoki, who was always very strong in the face of Uchiha Madara, dispelled his Dust Release and slowly lowered his arms the moment he witnessed the complete Susanoo that blotted out the sky.

Even his strongest Limit Separation Technique couldn't cover even one-tenth of the blue giant before him. He really didn't know how to fight against such an enemy.

So, just as the other side said, were the all-out battles that the four of them fought before merely a warm-up in the eyes of the other side?

"This... is Uchiha Madara!"

In the end, Ōnoki could only sigh with resentment.

He realized that after living for so many years, he no longer thought he was the weak and helpless person he remembered. He looked forward to meeting Madara again and showing him with his strength that the Will of Rock he had upheld was not a ridiculous thing.

But then he discovered that everything had returned to the way it was before.

Madara Uchiha... is still the same Madara Uchiha who is so powerful it's suffocating.

"I have said that only Hashirama and Senju Kumo-nii can compare to me."

At this moment, Madara, located within the brow of the fully-formed Susanoo, looked down at the four Kage.

"You should be thankful that I came this time. Otherwise..."

Madara's eyes moved.

The incredibly sharp chakra sword was instantly drawn from the scabbard at the waist of the Perfected Susanoo, and the sword that could easily split the Planetary Devastation once swept towards the four Kage.

moment!

A dazzling sword light burst forth.

With just that one sword strike, the longsword that swept across the heads of the four figures cleaved the mountain peaks behind them in half.

Boom! Boom!

Triangular mountain peaks crashed to the ground, making a huge noise.

at the same time.

Although the four figures dodged the earth-shattering sword strike, the incredibly strong wind that accompanied it still sent them staggering backward for over a hundred meters before they finally stopped.

"The mountain... it was actually split open!"

Once he calmed down, Luo Sha looked at the cleaved mountain peaks behind him, his face covered in cold sweat.

If that sword had been aimed at them...

Onoki, who had also realized this, clenched his fists and shouted at Madara, "Why didn't you parry that sword strike just now? Madara, are you trying to continue humiliating us?"

"What adult would get angry with a child?" Ban said condescendingly. "Given the current situation, let me ask you one last time: have you guys been causing trouble?"

Are we messing around...?

The admonitions that parents would only utter to their troublesome children were now being used on the Four Shadows, making them look extremely humiliated and embarrassed.

However, when they saw the Complete Susanoo striding in with an invincible momentum amidst the earth-shaking tremors, Onoki and the others wanted to say something, but they lacked the strength to do so.

In this joint battle that staked the honor of the four Shadows, they were undoubtedly utterly defeated.

"It seems you've finally realized your own limitations." Madara, inside his complete Susanoo, crossed his arms and said, "Now you realize how ridiculous your previous plans were, don't you? You couldn't even handle my Susanoo, yet you thought you could take on Senju Kumotada with the Four Kage? Were you just going to throw your lives away?"

The four shadows remained silent.

Although Madara Uchiha's words were harsh, after witnessing his unparalleled power and comparing it to Senju Kumo-tei, who had fought him to a draw, they realized how naive their previous plans had been.

Seeing this, Madara, knowing that his deterrence had been achieved, finally stopped.

The complete Susanoo disappeared.

Landing on the ground, Madara stood before the four Kage and said to them, "The trial is over. Now, you should be quite clear whether I am qualified to join forces with you."

The moment Ban finished speaking, a strong gust of wind carrying gunpowder smoke blew over the five people.

At this moment, looking at the dirty and disheveled appearance of his four companions, and then at Madara on the other side, whose armor had been destroyed in the battle with Senju Unting, but who had somehow put on a set of the same deep red Sengoku armor.

When he noticed that after fighting for so long, there wasn't a single scratch on the opponent's armor, Onoki sighed deeply.

Although he was emotionally unwilling to accept Madara Uchiha's alliance.

But rationally, he had to accept it.

Even if the other party is not as selfless as they claim, but rather has a deeper purpose.

He could only be asking a tiger for its skin.

It's all because of Thousand Hands Cloud Court!

Although it was clear that the Fourth Hokage, who was completely different from the previous three Hokage, was stronger than ever before.

However, in Onoki and the others' original estimate, even if they were no match for their opponent, they could still hold them off if they joined forces.

But now, after being taught a lesson by Madara Uchiha, they realize that they were like frogs in a well, with a limited perspective.

Thousand Hands Cloud Court's strength far exceeded their expectations.

If no one can restrain such a person who is capable of turning the tide of battle, it will be an absolute disaster for the four-nation alliance in the upcoming Fourth Shinobi World War.

Therefore, someone must entangle Thousand Hands Cloud Court.

It seems that only Madara Uchiha has this ability in the entire ninja world.

Onoki, Ai, Terumi Mei, and Rasa exchanged glances several times.

Although the latter three disliked Uchiha Madara very much, as qualified leaders, they knew what the rational decision was, no matter how unwilling they were.

The same goes for Onoki.

Faced with the imminent crisis of national and village annihilation, his personal grudges were utterly insignificant.

"Uchiha Madara, our Four Nations Alliance is willing to join forces with you to deal with Konoha." In the end, Onoki, representing the four nations, agreed to Madara's request for an alliance. "Just as you said before, we will deal with the Konoha ninjas, and Senju Kumo-tei will be left to you."

"Of course," said Madara, satisfied with the successful completion of the task.

"Furthermore! I don't care what other schemes you might be hiding. When the great war arrives, the Four Kingdoms Alliance needs you to truly dedicate yourself to dealing with Senju Kumo-tei. If you change your mind halfway or deliberately let Senju Kumo-tei go, I swear! Even if the Four Kage can't defeat you, with the combined power of the Four Great Ninja Villages, even if we lose to Konoha, we will fight to the death to take you away!"

Fearing something might go wrong along the way, Onoki warned Uchiha Madara with an extremely serious expression.

Having achieved his goal, he no longer cared about the other party's slightly impolite freckles and said, "Don't worry, I will put in even more effort than you when it comes to dealing with Konoha."

They definitely put more effort into it.

Once he uses the power of the four nations to destroy Konoha, he can roam freely in the ninja world, where no one can stop him.

By then, the Tailed Beasts and the Eye of the Moon Project will all be under his control.

Therefore, unless some unforeseen and catastrophic event occurs, Madara's commitment to this alliance is absolutely genuine.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Thus, the unimaginable alliance between Madara and the four countries was achieved.
