I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

Yun Ting's eyes flashed as he began to consider whether he should make the first move.

At the same time, Ōnoki, an ally, frowned in surprise upon hearing Madara's words and said, "Madara, didn't we agree that you would deal with Senju Kumogyou? Why aren't you making a move now?"

"I said I would deal with Senju Kumo-tei, and that's exactly what I'm doing now." Madara glanced at Onoki and said, "I've already pulled him from the Land of Lightning and now I'm keeping him from making a move. Now it's up to you five-nation alliance to eliminate the Konoha ninja as soon as possible."

"You..." Ohnoki was speechless.

He wanted to say that this was completely unexpected.

It should be understood that the high-ranking officials of the five countries originally believed that after Uchiha Madara took on the task of dealing with Senju Kumo-nii, the two sides should have fought fiercely when they met.

Thus, only when the two were constantly exhausted and their condition greatly reduced could the five-nation allied forces find an opportunity to take advantage.

However, the problem now is that Madara Uchiha did not play by the rules from the very beginning, and actually chose to stand by and watch.

Now, it's their side that has no choice but to fight with all their might first.

Onoki was quite depressed for a moment.

Actually, nobody is a fool.

As someone who emerged from the Warring States period, Madara Uchiha was no stranger to scheming and intrigue.

He wasn't interested in doing these things before because he was capable of overwhelming everything on his own.

But not now.

With Senju Untingi, whose strength was no less than Hashirama's, blocking his way, he didn't mind using his brain when his most proficient strength couldn't defeat his opponent for the time being.

He was well aware of the Five Nations Alliance's desire for the two tigers to fight each other, and even more so, their wish for mutual destruction.

It can only be said that the other party is being a bit delusional.

"Don't worry, I'll keep Senju Yunting out of the battlefield." Madara said with a faint sneer as he looked at Onoki, then turned to Yunting and threatened, "Every time you make a move, I'll retaliate against the Konoha ninjas. If you want to keep this kind of exchange going, I don't mind doing it."

Ban's idea was very simple.

Since he and Yun Ting couldn't decide a winner in the short term, it would be better to stay out of it and let the Konoha ninjas and the Five Nations Alliance decide the winner first.

Given the size of the five nations, compared to Konoha which has lost Senju Kumo-tei, they are more than capable of winning.

This way, the strength of the five nations can be depleted, and then their combined power can be used to wipe out Thousand Hands Cloud Court in one fell swoop.

Anyway, Senju Untei isn't the Hashirama she's been longing for.

Even if their strengths were equal, Madara was still willing to sacrifice a little of his fighting spirit in the face of the Eye of the Moon plan, which he had been preparing for decades, and wanted to eliminate Senju Kumo-tei, the last obstacle, as soon as possible without any unexpected events.

Ban has already made his stance clear.

At this moment, Onoki, who was still relying on the other party, could not say anything more. He turned to look at Senju Unten, wondering what the other party was thinking.

At this moment, Yun Ting was still pondering his battle with Ban.

He has now awakened the Rinnegan, but since he hasn't reached the Six Paths Mode in one step, his strength can only be considered a quantitative change, not a qualitative one.

Even though it's another match, he's confident he can beat his opponent.

But this won't be a quick and easy process; it will take time.

If a fight were to break out, given Madara's threats and attitude just now, the 15,000 Konoha ninja around him would probably be in big trouble.

He absolutely did not want to see such a heavy price paid.

As for using the Takamagahara technique to bring Madara into another dimension.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ting shook his head.

Although Takamagahara only needs to be at close range, unlike Kamui which requires physical contact or a long-range attack to bring the target into the alien space.

However, unlike those who enter the Kamui dimension and cannot come out, the ability to pull people or things out of Takamagahara has a time limit.

The more powerful a being is, the faster it takes to automatically detach from Takamagahara.

Given that Madara's strength is only below that of the Six Paths, he would probably break free before Yun Ting could kill him.

In addition, Yun Ting glanced at Uchiha Obito, who had not uttered a word during this period.

He knew very well that this guy, when his eyes were focused, could use his divine power to travel into other people's spaces.

If even the mighty Kaguya Otsutsuki's Amenominaka could have a passage opened by Kamui, Yun Ting certainly wouldn't think that Takamagahara, who was merely in the early stages of his growth, could escape unscathed.

so......

Was I really being threatened?

Finally, glancing at the Konoha ninja who worshipped him and whom he considered brothers, and then at the 20,000 Iwa ninja who Madara seemed indifferent to him, Yun Ting calmly addressed Madara, knowing he couldn't use the same method to threaten him:

"As you wish. I just hope you won't regret it later."

Seeing this, Madara, whose scheme had succeeded, smiled slightly and said, "The word 'regret' has never existed in my dictionary."

'No regrets?'

At this moment, Madara, with a faint sense of smugness, instructed Onoki to quickly defeat Konoha.

Where the former couldn't see, Yun Ting's lips curled up slightly.

Ban was ultimately too arrogant.

Although he used his brain a little this time, he didn't realize Konoha's true strength.

Did they think that by restricting themselves, Konoha would collapse?

Little did he know that Konoha's current strength never depended solely on him.

The combined strength of tens of thousands of Konoha ninja, including Minato, Kushina, Tsunade, Shisui, Itachi, and Jiraiya, is the fundamental guarantee for Konoha's existence to this day.

That's fine too.

Originally, I was worried that Madara, who had been silent all this time during the Fourth Shinobi World War, might suddenly make a big move.

Now that the other party has revealed everything, I might as well go along with them.

So next, let's have our subordinates teach Ban a lesson, so he'll clearly understand what it means to shoot yourself in the foot.

"Minato, I'm leaving the rest to you." Yun Ting patted the shoulder of his ever-trustworthy Hokage assistant.

"Don't worry, Hokage-sama!"

Shuimen, who had never failed Yunting's trust, confidently assured him.

Chapter 261 The War Resumes

Outside the battlefield, the strongest ninja in the current ninja world, Kumo-tei, and Uchiha Madara stood facing each other.

On the battlefield, the deafening sounds of battle rang out once again.

Having no other choice, Onoki could only lead his 20,000 Iwa ninja army to swallow the Konoha army in front of him whole.

Therefore, in the ensuing battle, not only did the Iwa ninja's offensive become even more swift, but Onoki himself also joined the battle with Yotsuchi, Deidara, and other skilled Iwa ninja.

"Earth Release: Mountain Earth Technique!"

With a powerful punch as hard as a rock, he sent the Konoha ninja in front of him flying. After noticing that another group of hundreds of Konoha ninjas were rushing over from not far away, Huang Tu quickly formed hand seals.

moment!

Two enormous, semi-circular rock spheres, incredibly impressive, roared out from both sides of the Konoha reinforcements.

Like a sandwich, it was about to crush and kill the hundreds of Konoha ninjas who couldn't dodge in time, with an irresistible force.

The power of a strong ninja on the battlefield was clearly demonstrated at this moment.

However, just as the Iwa ninja have skilled fighters, the Konoha ninja also have their own.

Just as the Konoha ninjas, surrounded by enemies, were filled with despair, a loud voice suddenly rang out.

"Super Multiplication Technique!"

After another loud bang, a giant, whose size was comparable to a small mountain, rushed to the side of the Konoha ninjas who were surrounded. He spread out his left and right hands and pushed hard, making it impossible for the hemispherical rock formed by the Yellow Earth Mountain Technique to advance even half a step.

"The Akimichi clan's multiplication technique? So it's you, Akimichi Choza. It's been a long time."

Seeing that his technique was being thwarted, Huang Tu looked at an old acquaintance and greeted him.

"Nara Shikaku, where are Yamanaka Inoichi? Even if the Ino-Shika-Cho trio don't attack together, do you think you can stop me on your own?"

As old rivals from the Third World War, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the Yellow Earth trio have had quite a few encounters in this generation.

Although the latter did not learn his father's Dust Release technique, his incredibly powerful Earth Release techniques made him second only to Onoki among the Iwa ninja.

With the help of the Iwa ninja around him, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio suffered quite a bit at his hands back then.

Hearing his old rival say this, Akimichi Choza calmly replied, "Konoha is full of talented people. With me and my other comrades here, we are more than capable of dealing with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he exerted his strength with his two thick but weak arms, and the two hemispherical rocks on either side could no longer withstand it and were blown far away.

Not stopping there, Akimichi Choza suddenly retracted his limbs and head, and then...

"Human Bomber!"

A massive, rotating sphere, conspicuous even on a battlefield with tens of thousands of soldiers, roared in with astonishing destructive power.

"This trick again?"

Huang Tu gave a cold laugh, and was about to form a hand seal again to stop him.

Suddenly, a dozen long shadows stretched out toward him at lightning speed.

Shadow mimicry!

Under the protection of a group of Konoha ninjas, a dozen or so Nara clan ninjas with pineapple-shaped haircuts used shadow techniques, aiming directly at the yellow earth.

Seeing this, Huang Tu had no choice but to stop and dodge.

Seeing their leader being besieged, the many Iwa ninjas naturally rushed forward to help.

Suddenly, several rock ninjas changed their expressions and raised their kunai to stab at the yellow earth.

"Hmph! A troubled mind leads to a disordered body!"

Knowing that his subordinate Huang Tu was only temporarily under control and could not be killed, Akimichi Choza, who had transformed into a human bomb chariot, roared in within a few breaths while being tightly entangled by the former.

"enough!"

The yellow earth, now completely encased in hardening magic, ignored the clanging and banging of attacks emanating from its body.
