Konoha's Mission Master

Madara Uchiha first threw his head back and laughed wildly, then his eyes suddenly turned blood red, gradually transforming into the pattern of the Mangekyou Sharingan as he stared at Yakumo. "Under the gaze of these eyes, there are no secrets in this world."

An invisible wave swept across Yakumo.

[Note: The player has been subjected to a mental attack, but has been immune to it.]

"How could a genjutsu amplified by the Rinnegan be so weak?"

As Yakumo felt the mental attack that had just struck him, a look of suspicion rose on his face. This was vastly different from the attack he had expected.

"Huh, it actually resisted my illusion attack."

Madara Uchiha focused his gaze on Yakumo, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon her.

"Who is he?"

Minato Namikaze asked instinctively. Although he recognized the Sharingan unique to the Uchiha clan, he couldn't guess the identity of this middle-aged man.

"The strongest member of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period, and also the former head of the Uchiha clan, the greatest sinner of Konoha, Uchiha Madara!"

Tsunade coldly replied that if her great-grandfather hadn't exhausted his body in the battle with Madara Uchiha, he wouldn't have passed away so early.

Madara Uchiha did not deny it upon hearing this, but instead looked Tsunade up and down.

"Hahaha, are you Hashirama's granddaughter?"

"You are not worthy to mention your great-grandfather's name!!"

Tsunade's emotions were somewhat strange, or rather, she was using loud shouts to cover up her inner fear. She had witnessed Madara Uchiha's attacks before, and they were terrifying violence that was both godlike and demonic.

"Uncle Madara, your eyes... don't seem to be the Rinnegan. Could it be that you didn't steal Nagato's Rinnegan?"

"..."

Madara Uchiha did not answer the question and chose to remain silent.

In fact, he was also investigating who... had cut off the White Zetsu and taken his Rinnegan, but he didn't want others to know about this rather shameful matter.

"Judging from this... it shouldn't be him."

"Have you ever attacked the Daimyo of the Land of Wind?"

Madara Uchiha shook his head. "It wasn't me."

Yakumo immediately felt the urge to retreat.

He originally thought that Madara Uchiha was the mastermind behind all of this.

But now he has been awakened... It was he who pinned all of this on Madara Uchiha, and the real culprit may not be Madara Uchiha.

"How to do?"

Jiraiya asked, and at the same time, he completed the gathering of natural energy. Eyeshadow appeared on his cheeks, and he had entered Sage Mode.

"Let's retreat first," Yakumo replied.

Madara Uchiha's youthful appearance indicates that his combat strength has exceeded the initial plan, and starting a war at this time... the chances of winning are less than 90%.

"Withdraw? I'd like to test whether the new god of the ninja world is truly real!"

In Madara Uchiha's heart, only Hashirama Senju deserved the title of God of Shinobi. How could a mere child dare to bear the name of a god?

Madara Uchiha charged directly at Yakumo, pulling out the Uchiha Fan from behind his back and unleashing flames before anyone could see him form hand seals.

Fire Release: Fire Dragon Dance!

Yakumo drew his Fuma sword and swung it, the spreading blade and extremely condensed sword energy severing the fire dragon in two.

Finally, it disintegrated into scattered flames amidst the golden storm of blade energy.

Madara Uchiha landed and swung his fan in a straight strike.

This attack was incredibly swift; the smooth surface of the Flame Fan felt like a sharp weapon in his hand.

bump!

Yakumo swung his Demon-Subduing Fan to counter the attack, but Madara Uchiha swung his long-handled scythe with his left arm, attacking Yakumo from the left... This attack was much faster than the previous one, clearly the real killing move.

"Ding."

Jieyu struck first despite being behind, blocking the long-handled scythe's attack. Yakumo used his feet to create distance, but Uchiha Madara immediately swung his scythe and pressed forward.

Madara Uchiha swung his sword with wide, sweeping strokes, but each strike was faster than the last, constantly pressuring Yakumo's movements.

Having been repeatedly restrained, Yakumo felt a surge of anger. He crossed his arms into a cross shape, and his chakra immediately began to flow in response.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

"Bang, bang, bang."

Several puffs of smoke cleared, and Yakumo's shadow clones spread out.

"Since you're so persistent, then today I'll challenge you, this old god of the ninja world!"

"I'll be the main attacker, Tsunade will support me, and Minato will assist me."

"Jiraiya, you're in charge of providing support. Watch out for illusions!"

Yakumo adheres to the rule of team battles only, never engaging in one-on-one duels.

"Let me see what you little guys are made of!"

Madara Uchiha said proudly.

In their brief clash... he gradually felt the pressure emanating from the boy before him. That extremely sharp aura even made the blood in his veins boil.

At this moment, Uchiha decided to postpone his search for his lost Rinnegan and instead have a match with the boy in front of him to experience the long-lost thrill of passion.

"Why bother?"

Yakumo took a step forward, and the Sage's Mark appeared.

With the enhancement from the Undying Heart, Yakumo's constitution attribute has reached 63.6 points during this period. With the 6-point boost from Sage Mode, Yakumo can unleash a constitution of up to 69.6 during battle.

This is a physical attribute that completely surpasses the level of a Shadow Realm cultivator, and is even infinitely close to the level of a Six Paths cultivator.

Although he wasn't confident he could defeat Madara Uchiha, he was definitely not afraid of Madara Uchiha without the Rinnegan.

The two fought with lightning speed, exchanging a hundred moves in a very short time.

During the battle, Yakumo continuously increased the speed of his sword swings, and his entire body was filled with golden currents that seemed to be real. When they clashed, Yakumo would also use the technique of stacking force to increase the power of his attacks.

"Eightfold Strength Stacked - Mighty Nation!!!"

With a roar, Yakumo channeled his lightning into the blade, instantly transforming it into burning golden flames. The terrifying amplification, nearly tripling the power of the weapon, made it even more deadly.

"call…"

The fiery dragon danced with the scythe, but before it could touch Yakumo's body, it was torn apart by the flowing lightning, leaving only the flames scattered in the air.

Madara Uchiha was knocked back several steps... Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. Even though he was injured inside his body, he was unwilling to retreat even half a step, but in the end he still lost to the ever-increasing force of Yakumo.

"Young man, among the swordsmen I have fought..."

"I, Madara, acknowledge you as the strongest!"

Around them, Madara Uchiha used his wood clones to hold back Jiraiya and Tsunade, but he couldn't stop Minato Namikaze, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.

A golden figure appeared behind Madara Uchiha, kunai in his hand piercing directly towards Madara's heart. When he learned that the enemy was the murderer who killed the First Hokage, Minato Namikaze had no intention of holding back.

Madara Uchiha remained unmoved. His eyes were originally set to the three-tomoe state, which enhanced his dynamic vision to keep up with Yakumo's speed while minimizing the consumption of his eye power.

But when Minato Namikaze appeared, his eyes suddenly changed. The black tadpoles spun rapidly and transformed into the Mangekyou Sharingan in the blink of an eye.

An evil, cold, terrifying, and oppressive aura emanated from Madara Uchiha and spread outwards. Blue flames burned in the void and converged into a huge blue rib, blocking Minato Namikaze's attack.

The blue flames continued to rise, solidifying into a massive blue skull in the astonished gazes of the group.

Currently, this blue skeleton only has its upper body, with four arms gripping a huge longsword.

The two faces, one in front and one behind, were just skeletons, devoid of flesh and blood. A huge shadow enveloped Yakumo, and a giant blade, twenty meters long, was about to crash down.

Forced into a corner, Yakumo had no choice but to retreat...

This is one of Madara Uchiha's trump cards: the third power residing in the Mangekyou Sharingan, Susanoo, which is hailed as the power of a god.

"How do we fight?" Jiraiya came to Yakumo's side.

"Prepare to evacuate..."

Yakumo was always concerned about retreating.

Madara Uchiha is actually quite safe; his pride prevents him from harming civilians. Of course, he is also very dangerous—a ruthless and cunning tyrant who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

Eliminating such people is the simplest solution.

Unfortunately... their strength is currently somewhat lacking.

Chapter 267 Water Bullet Breaks Susanoo (Part 1)

On the battlefield, Madara Uchiha confronted Yakumo.

The attacks from both sides were sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and were extremely dazzling.

In particular, the ever-forming Susanoo perfectly defended against the attacks of Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others.

No matter how the two attacked, they could not affect the figure standing in Susanoo.

"Tsunade and Jiraiya should retreat first," Yakumo suggested.

Their attacks couldn't break through his defenses, so they couldn't harm Madara Uchiha, and staying there wouldn't be of much use.

In particular… once the two are sure they are safe, Yakumo can use Minato Namikaze's Flying Thunder God Technique to retreat at any time.

The two hesitated, unwilling to let Yakumo face the enemy's attack alone. In the previous clash, they had witnessed the power of Uchiha Madara.

In battle, Madara Uchiha displayed unparalleled strength and domineering power. Having experienced countless battles, every move he made carried a terrifying killing intent that chilled people to the bone, and every strike was deadly.

"I want to kill him!" Tsunade said fiercely.

If it weren't for Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju wouldn't have died young, and the Senju clan wouldn't have declined to such an extent.

Her tragedy stemmed from Madara Uchiha.

"Breaking through their defenses is too difficult... I'd better give up."
