Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

That man's aura was truly astonishing.

Just then, an excited Uchiha Jonin, trembling, walked up to the man and said excitedly:

"You...you are Chief Ban?!"

The Uchiha Jonin stared at the fan behind Madara and the face that was identical to the one recorded in the clan genealogy, and asked in disbelief.

Madara died at the hands of the First Hokage decades ago, so how did he end up here?

Is it because they look alike? Or did Madara fake his death and escape back then?

Regardless, the Jonin was extremely excited.

He had admired Madara Uchiha since childhood, and he read through the history books of the Uchiha clan. His only regret was that he was not born in Madara's era, otherwise he would have followed Madara to his death.

"Oh? After all these years, someone still remembers me?" Madara glanced at him, noticing the other's admiring gaze.

A sense of comfort welled up in my heart.

Upon hearing Madara personally acknowledge his identity, the Uchiha Jonin became even more excited: "It really is you! Clan Chief Madara!"

"Now that you've returned, do you intend to continue leading the Uchiha clan?"

"With you here, our Uchiha clan will surely regain its former glory!"

Madara smiled slightly: "What's your name?"

"My name is Yun Qi, Chief of the Ban Clan!"

Yunqi straightened his back, as if being asked his name by Ban was a great honor.

“Yunqi… I will remember your name.”

“However, you don’t need to call me clan leader anymore. I am no longer the clan leader of the Uchiha clan.”

Uchiha Yunqi shook his head: "Now that you have returned, the position of clan leader should rightfully be returned to you. Under your leadership, the Uchiha clan will prosper!"

"Heh... I have absolutely no interest in regaining control of the Uchiha clan or leading you." Madara chuckled, passing Uchiha Yunqi and continuing forward.

Return to the family as patriarch? Lead them?

Hmph, who does he think he is? When he left, not a single member of his tribe followed him. Now that his development has slowed down, they want him to go back?

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

His only wish now is to see what the ninja world will become under Obito's command, nothing more.

Upon hearing Ban's response, Yun Qi stiffened and smiled wryly.

It seems that what happened back then had a really big impact on Madara...

Yun Qi hesitated for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

He turned around and said, "Lord Madara, I want to follow you! I will leave the Uchiha clan!"

Ban paused slightly, his eyes flickered, but he continued on, leaving behind only a faint remark:

Yun Qi's face lit up with joy, and he immediately jogged after him.

Madara walked unhurriedly toward a tent. Just then, Obito and Minato Namikaze finished their conversation and were walking out of the tent.

Upon seeing Madara, Obito immediately raised his hand and greeted him with a beaming smile:

"Hey, old man, you look great! You're recovering well!"

After obtaining 300,000 gold coins, Obito spent 30,000 to purchase a one-time Six Paths Yang Power. That immense life force was enough for Madara to recover to his youthful peak state.

Madara, after fully recovering to his peak condition, went to the Land of Rain to retrieve the Rinnegan from Nagato. He intended to exchange it for a pair of Sharingan, but Nagato, after much consideration, refused Madara's offer.

After learning the truth, he didn't ask for anything and returned his eyes to Madara. He longed to live an ordinary life like Yahiko and Konan and no longer wanted to be different.

Madara understood his choice. After using his remaining Yang energy to hatch a pair of ordinary eyes for him, he left the Land of Rain and went directly to find Obito.

"Madara-senpai, Konoha warmly welcomes your return." Minato gave Madara a slightly stiff smile.

Just now, Obito pulled him into the tent and told him the news that Madara Uchiha was about to return, which really shocked Minato.

Obito's behavior became increasingly unpredictable. First, as if he had foreseen the future, he produced a series of top-secret intelligence. Then, he brought back Madara Uchiha, who had been declared dead for decades.

With Madara's addition, the gap between Konoha's fighting strength and that of other ninja villages will be as insurmountable as a chasm, and it seems the war is about to come to an end.

This kid is getting more and more capable, Minato thought with genuine satisfaction.

In response to Minato's greeting, Madara nodded slightly.

"Come on, let's go inside and sit down. It's weird to chat standing outside," Obito suggested with a smile.

Just as the group was about to move, a Konoha ninja suddenly appeared before them using the Body Flicker Technique, and reported to Minato with a serious expression:

"Iwagakure and Kumogakure have joined forces, assembling a force of nearly 10,000 men, and are approaching our direction."

Obito was slightly taken aback, a subtle expression appearing on his face:

"We initially thought that their split-up approach would waste our time dealing with them, but they actually came to us on their own initiative."

Obito turned to Minato Namikaze and said with a relaxed expression, "Minato-sensei, it looks like the war is going to end sooner than expected."

"That being said, Obito, we still cannot let our guard down."

"After all, the opponent is the Tsuchikage, who is known as the 'Two Scales Aunt' (a derogatory term for the Tsuchikage). His Dust Release is extremely destructive, and we could easily run into trouble if we're not careful."

Minato Namikaze earnestly instructed Obito, as he did not want anything to happen to him.

"Haha, don't worry, teacher. I'll be careful. Besides, I'm not going it alone. I have Old Man Ban with me."

Obito chuckled and hooked his arm around Madara's shoulder: "Right, old Madara?"

Ban turned to look at him, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "Does a bunch of rabble really require my intervention?"

"Oh dear, those are the Tsuchikage and Raikage! People who stand at the pinnacle of the ninja world, they are not as weak as you say."

"In my eyes, they are just that weak," Ban replied calmly.

"Tsk, you're leaving no room for negotiation with your words."

"Alright, let's go. Consider it a good workout to stretch your muscles. It's been so long since you've done anything."

"It's almost rusty, isn't it?"

After saying that, Obito dragged him to the front line without further ado.

Faced with Obito's determination, Madara was filled with helplessness. "Fine, let the world witness Madara Uchiha's power once again."

"Minato-sensei, let's go."

Minato Namikaze responded with a beaming smile: "I wish you a triumphant return. I'll be here waiting for your good news."

Chapter 98 Madara: Has he always been this brave?

The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Stone Village launched a joint attack, with tens of thousands of ninjas surging in like a tidal wave, their momentum overwhelming, directly approaching the border!

Both sides' Kage-level figures personally arrived at the front lines of the battlefield. The Tsuchikage, Raikage, and Abby's duo formed a lineup so luxurious it was astonishing.

On the distant Konoha defense line, the guarding ninjas felt a chill in their hearts just by witnessing such a powerful formation, and were afraid to fight even before the battle began.

Onoki's gaze pierced the vast distance, landing on Konoha's taut defensive line. He whispered to the Third Rai beside him:

"I have already sent a message to Kirigakure, telling them that Minato Namikaze has left Konoha. Now, they should be taking action as well."

"Whether Minato Namikaze chooses to hold the front line or return to defend Konoha, Konoha will inevitably decline after this battle."

Ōnoki was unaware that Kirigakure's offensive had already been thwarted, and he was still basking in the glory of his meticulously planned scheme.

Third Generation Rai nodded, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness: "If Yellow Flash stays, we'll hold him off while you take the lead in the attack."

"We can forgo the spoils of war as the battle ends, but after we conquer Konoha, we must obtain a larger territory."

A sly glint flashed in the eyes of the Third Generation Rai.

Their old feud with Iwagakure seemed insignificant in the face of enormous profits.

The land where the Hidden Clouds reside is barren and desolate, and they yearn for the picturesque territory of Konoha.

“Agreed,” Ohnoki replied.

"If there are no objections, launch the attack immediately."

With the commands of the two Kage, the massive army, like a black torrent, advanced in sections towards the defensive line built by the Konoha ninja.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurs!

A loud bang was heard!

Two figures suddenly descended from the sky, crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.

"Have Konoha's reinforcements arrived?"

"Is it Hiruzen Sarutobi or Minato Namikaze?"

Onoki wore a faint smile, as if no one could stop their offensive today.

However, when the dust settled and he saw the newcomer's face clearly, Onoki's smile froze on his face.

"Uchiha Madara?!"

The man before him stood with his arms crossed and a disdainful look in his eyes. Onoki would never forget this figure that had cast a shadow over him!

In his youth, he accompanied the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, to Konoha to forge an alliance, but unexpectedly encountered Madara Uchiha.

Not only did the other side despise them, but they also taught them a lesson with overwhelming power, ultimately expelling them from Konoha.

That was a tremendous humiliation for him, for Wu, and even for the entire village. Whenever he recalled it, Onoki felt an indescribable sense of shame.

"Is that the brat who weighs two pounds?" Madara recognized him too.

"It seems that the lesson I taught you back then was too lenient. You actually had the audacity to bring people to attack Konoha."

"Then let me see how much you've grown over the years."

Madara Uchiha flexed his wrists, a contented smile on his face, seemingly not taking the other person seriously at all.

Onoki gritted his teeth: "Uchiha Madara!"

This guy's personality hasn't changed at all; he can make people furious the moment he opens his mouth.

"Raikage, the situation has changed. If we can't defeat Uchiha Madara, this attack on Konoha will only become a laughing stock."
