I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

boom!

A pale fist carrying red chakra suddenly struck Madara heavily.

Seeing this, Ban had no choice but to frown and move away.

"Well done, Kushina! Give him a good beating!" Seeing this, Kurama, who found her host quite agreeable for the first time, shouted excitedly.

"Too noisy! Kurama, keep your voice down! Also, if you really want me to beat this arrogant guy up, then lend me some more chakra." Kushina, who appeared in a flurry, said with a slight wrinkle on her nose as she continued to throw punches.

"no problem!"

Kurama, who is usually very stingy with his own Jinchūriki, suddenly became incredibly generous when facing Madara Uchiha, the person he hated most.

Soon, a much larger amount of Nine-Tails chakra appeared on Kushina's body than before.

In an instant, not only in the mirror image within the sealed space, but also in the physical form outside, Kushina's appearance, which was originally wrapped in the red Nine-Tails chakra cloak, suddenly changed.

Golden chakra replaced the original red, enveloping her entire body, and six tomoe appeared at her neckline—this was the true Nine-Tails Chakra Mode.

Boom~~

In the next instant, Kushina, whose speed was much faster than before, finally knocked Madara away with a single punch.

Just as she was about to press her advantage, Madara, who had stood up again, shook his head slightly and said:

"It seems we can't solve this here, so let's just make things more complicated outside."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

From then on, the sealed space remained undisturbed.

Chapter 259 Reunion, Yun Ting and Ban

Fighting Kushina, the master of the sealed space, would have been unwise.

The latter, in particular, gained even more power from the Nine-Tails.

After a brief probing, Madara Uchiha stopped wasting his time and disappeared directly from the sealed space.

outside world.

Unlike within the sealed space, where he could unleash his full power, Madara's gaze shifted again as he looked at Kushina, whose entire body was now enveloped in the Nine-Tails' golden chakra and whose aura had become even more ferocious. He coldly said, "I can handle the complete Nine-Tails, yet you dare to be so presumptuous with only half a Nine-Tails. Lie down!"

The tailed beasts were very important to Madara.

Although he can't touch his allies right now, the Nine-Tails, being the enemy and most important one, even if it's just half of it, is worth taking real action against.

boom! boom! boom!

Instantly, the ground around Kushina rapidly cracked open, and under Madara's Wood Release, a large number of trees grew rapidly and wrapped around her.

"Damn old man! Don't underestimate the power of Kurama and me!"

In response, a large number of Nine-Tails chakra hands condensed from Kushina's body, about to grab the attacking trees.

Another batch of new trees suddenly sprang up from the ground, targeting the trees whose Wood Release had been activated, and the two sides quickly engaged in battle.

Soon, the wood-style trees belonging to Madara were defeated.

However, none of this mattered to Madara.

He stared intently at the person who had suddenly appeared opposite him, and said with unusual seriousness in his tone:

"Thousand Hands Cloud Court, you've finally arrived."

On the Konoha battlefield, beside Minato Namikaze, a red and white Hokage robe swayed in the wind.

Yun Ting, who had traveled thousands of miles, raised his head, looked at Ban opposite him, and calmly said:

"Since you've invited me, I'll naturally come."

When Madara attacked Konoha's position, Minato Namikaze used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport him away. At the same time, he also used a large amount of chakra to send the news of Madara's arrival to the Cloud Pavilion, who had a Flying Thunder God Kunai that Minato had left with him thousands of miles away.

At that time, the Cloud Ninja had already surrendered, and the Cloud Court was in the process of incorporating them into its ranks, and was explaining the next tasks to Tsuchida and others.

Upon receiving the message from Minato, he didn't dare to delay. After quickly issuing orders to Tsuchishiro and the others, he left behind three thousand Konoha ninja and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive beside Minato Namikaze, who also had his own Flying Thunder God Kunai.

This was the first time Yun Ting had personally traversed such a long distance, from the Land of Thunder to the Land of Grass.

Although his chakra consumption was much higher than before, he didn't pay much attention because of his fast recovery speed thanks to his Sage Body ability.

After helping Kushina and greeting Madara, Yunting looked around.

With the arrival of Madara and his men, the battle between Konoha and Iwa ninja gradually subsided, and under Onoki's instructions, a large number of Iwa ninja were retreating.

Seeing this, Yun Ting paid no attention to the Iwa ninja. After nodding to Minato beside him, he turned to Madara again and smiled faintly:

"I never expected that someone like you, Madara, would form an alliance with the five nations. What? Did you realize that Konoha is now beyond your capabilities, so you're cooperating with these ants in your eyes, treating them as expendable resources?"

Yun Ting learned of Madara's alliance with the five nations from Tsuchishiro after he had subdued the Cloud Ninja.

This surprised him somewhat.

After all, in his own mind, given Madara's arrogant personality, he shouldn't have any connection with these people he looked down on.

However, the truth is that the other party took the initiative to come to the Four Shadows Conference and proposed cooperation.

Is it because of me?

"Want to be here?" Yun Ting raised an eyebrow slightly.

Previously, Madara's stance on the Five Nations Alliance would have been a significant crisis for Konoha.

But now...

"Hey! Who are you calling an ant?"

Suddenly, a disgruntled boy's voice broke in.

Upon hearing Yun Ting refer to them as "ants," Deidara, fearless and unafraid of Madara's reply, stepped forward angrily, eager to show the Hokage the art he had meticulously crafted over many years, and to see if the Hokage would still call him "ants" afterward.

However, he was quickly brought back by Onoki.

"Lord Hokage, although you are very strong, you and Konoha behind you are no match for the 100,000-strong army of the Five Nations Alliance. For the sake of Konoha's nearly 60-year foundation and for the sake of the Land of Fire, I advise you to stop as soon as possible."

Although Onoki, whose cunning was far deeper than Deidara's, had been ignored by Yun Ting from the beginning, he still voiced his strong opinion at this moment.

Just as he finished speaking, a roar of encouragement came from 20,000 Iwa ninja on the battlefield.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

They once joined forces to make the Third Raikage, known as the "strongest spear" and the "strongest shield," die a humiliating death. Now, they are still fearless when facing the Fourth Hokage.

"Compared to the Cloud Ninja, the Iwa Ninja are indeed more interesting. But a hundred thousand troops? Your Majesty the Tsuchikage is exaggerating. Besides, given the current situation, instead of expecting Konoha to surrender, you should worry about your own fate."

Yun Ting shook his head, turning his gaze from Onoki to Deidara.

In comparison, the artist who provided the spectacular fireworks for his wedding was more likely to pique his interest.

Speaking of which, this kid has extremely strong explosives skills, which is definitely a great asset to the construction corps that spends a lot of time digging roads and opening up mountains.

Yun Ting has made her decision.

If Dilata is captured, he will be sent to the Construction Corps after the war.

This would not only greatly speed up the army's construction, but also allow Deidara to continue his artistic creations.

This is killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful!

Unaware of Yun Ting's "good intentions," Dilada suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and he had to swallow his words, which he had been about to say.

So, Madara, who had been overshadowed but had been calmly observing everything, finally spoke up: "Senju Unten, you are very strong. As the second opponent I take seriously after Hashirama, I will naturally go all out. So there's no need for these empty words."

"Just saying, consider it a warm-up before the battle."

Yun Ting smiled slightly.

He certainly didn't think his words could sow discord between Ban and the five nations.

To be precise, there was absolutely no need for Madara and the five countries to sow discord.

There is absolutely no trust between the two.

They were only reluctantly staying together because of him.

Yun Ting can guarantee that if the threat on his side disappears, Ban and the five countries will definitely start fighting immediately.

Putting everything else aside, there is absolutely no point of reconciliation between the two sides regarding the tailed beasts alone.

By the way, speaking of tailed beasts, Yun Ting subconsciously glanced at Kushina, who was eager to join him in beating up Madara, just waiting for his command.

"I'll handle Madara myself. Minato, keep an eye on Shina." To avoid the possibility of her being sent to her death, Yun Ting immediately gave the order.

"Yes!" Minato replied immediately.

Soon, after a series of meaningful glances between the couple that were difficult for outsiders to understand, Kushina, who had been the first to give in, could only nod reluctantly.

Finally, without wasting any more time, Yun Ting solemnly addressed Ban:

"Since you were in such a hurry to summon me, shall we continue our unfinished battle?"

Chapter 260 Ban's Scheme

"Not urgent."

Unexpectedly, Madara Uchiha refused Kumo-tei's invitation to fight.

Not only that, at this moment he also dispelled Susanoo and calmly said,

"The battle between you and me can't be resolved in a short time. Now that there are so many people involved on the stage, let's let them dance for a while."

We're not playing anymore?

Yun Ting frowned slightly.

He really wanted to say that this battle wouldn't be a stalemate like last time, but seeing Madara's resolute attitude, he could only shake his head inwardly.

So, forcing yourself to rush here was just so you could watch the show with yourself from the sidelines?

Do they want to weaken Konoha and the Five Kingdoms first?

Yun Ting glanced at the Iwa ninja opposite him, then looked at his own side.

Who would have thought that Madara Uchiha, who is usually so arrogant, would actually start using his brain!
