"Madara!"
After seeing the other person's appearance, Konan shouted...her voice filled with anger.
What emerged from the wall was Uchiha Obito dressed as a man in a mask.
Although she promised Guts not to be impulsive,
the enemy was right in front of her, and staying calm was no longer an option.
However, Guts raised his hand, quickly stopping Konan, and said flatly, "Calm down, Konan. That's a fake."
Konan was taken aback, looked at Guts in disbelief, then turned her gaze back to the masked man sitting on the high platform. "Fake? Counterfeit?"
"Very advanced Transformation Technique. But do you think that kind of thing can fool me?"
Guts chuckled.
"As expected of the man who made us fear him. Madara was right not to come."
The masked man laughed and transformed back into his original appearance.
Surprisingly—a White Zetsu clone!
He could absorb a portion of an individual's chakra, perform advanced Transformation Techniques, and even fool Kage-level powerhouses.
But to Guts, it was child's play—obvious with his Observation Haki.
"Madara!?"
Hearing that name, everyone was startled.
They instantly recalled a legend who once terrified the entire ninja world.
His presence in his era was like Guts's is now.
"Aren't you going to kill me?"
After reverting to his true form, White Zetsu tilted his head toward Guts.
"What's the point of killing a clone? Just say what nonsense you're here to tell us."
Guts kicked his feet onto the table, casually leaning back with a grin.
"He's terrifying... and irritating."
White Zetsu chuckled darkly, then began to explain the "Eye of the Moon" plan—as referred to by Obito in the anime.
He laid out Akatsuki's true purpose of gathering the Tailed Beasts, and named the true mastermind—Uchiha Madara.
Except for Guts, everyone present was shocked.
Even though the words came from a clone, the weight of the truth shook the room. The reveal was no less dramatic than Obito's appearance in the anime.
Just then, a tiny worm emerged on Guts's shoulder, whispering in his ear, "Lord Guts, the masked man and Uchiha Sasuke are attacking Konoha!"
It was a clone of Katsuyu, Tsunade's Summoning Beast, which had been attached to Guts before his departure—serving as a mobile alert system.
"This is insane. Looks like the IQ of 'Uchiha Madara' and Uchiha Sasuke is at the same level as the Cloud Shinobi."
Guts snorted.
The Cloud Shinobi, mocked out of nowhere, made Raikage grit his teeth silently.
"You don't seem too worried~"
White Zetsu's voice was teasing. "Sasuke's attacking your home while you're away."
"Do you know what this is?"
Guts pulled a kunai from his Admiral-style cloak, engraved with special runes.
"That's the kunai of Flying Thunder God!?"
White Zetsu's eyes widened. "You're not planning to teleport back from here?! That's impossible unless you have Senju Hashirama-level chakra!"
Flying Thunder God's range was technically unlimited—but the feasibility depended on chakra.
A normal ninja would collapse and die instantly from the strain of cross-country teleportation.
White Zetsu could only imagine someone with Hashirama-level chakra pulling it off.
But...
"You little shit thought I can't guess what you're thinking?"
Guts laughed, signaling Konan and Hinata.
The two women stepped forward and placed their hands behind Guts's back.
"A trick used once on me won't work a second time."
The moment Guts said that, all three vanished instantly.
This wasn't Guts casting the jutsu—it was the Flying Thunder God teleportation array created by Namikaze Minato.
Input chakra, and the user would be transported to a pre-marked destination.
Like Conqueror's Haki, chakra increases with overall power.
White Zetsu thought only someone with Nine-Tails-level chakra could do it.
But he hadn't realized Guts had already surpassed even prime Hashirama.
In an instant, Guts, Konan, and Hinata appeared outside Konoha at a teleportation point set up in advance.
The outer walls and defensive camp meant to guard against Akatsuki had a gaping hole.
Explosions and the roar of battle echoed from within.
"I'm going to find Madara!"
Konan's body turned into paper and dispersed into the sky, dozens of clones scattering to search.
"Hold on."
Just as Konan was about to fly off, Guts grabbed her wrist.
"Your technique is hard-countered. Don't go. I'll handle him."
"But—!"
Konan clenched her teeth, unwilling to sit back.
"Dying for nothing and getting revenge are two different things."
A powerful tremor shook the ground.
Guts stepped forward, turning his back to both women.
"You two—prevent the damage from spreading further. I'll clean up the mess."
"I understand, Sensei."
Hinata answered instantly.
Konan hesitated, but ultimately obeyed. Wings of paper burst from her back as she rose into the sky.
