"Is this the Perfect Susanoo? To be able to block the Gedo Statue's attack head-on, it's truly terrifying," muttered a White Zetsu who had witnessed the battle through his clone.
"It looks evenly matched, but it's not. The Gedo Statue is, after all, just the Ten-Tails' husk. Its only commendable qualities are its terrifying vitality and immense strength.
In terms of pure strength, let alone the Perfect Susanoo, even members of the Akimichi Clan, if they use the Partial Expansion Jutsu to become the same size as the Gedo Statue, could resist its attacks for a short time.
Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo blocked the Gedo Statue's attack with pure strength, so he is the winner.
Susanoo, indeed worthy of being the Uchiha Clan's ultimate Dojutsu." With that, Obito told White Zetsu to inform Nagato to dispel the Gedo Statue's summoning, and the Gedo Statue then vanished from before the Shinobi Allied Forces.
On the other side, in Yakushi Kabuto's cave, looking at the dwindling number of pieces on the chessboard, Yakushi Kabuto's expression began to grow serious.
Uchiha Madara noticed the situation on the chessboard and said calmly, "It seems the battle isn't going so well."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded, "Yes, half of my Edo Tensei army has been sealed, and two individuals might have escaped my control: one is Uchiha Kagami, and the other is Senju Tobirama."
Hearing Senju Tobirama's name, a flicker of extremely complex emotion crossed Uchiha Madara's usually calm eyes.
Speaking of Senju Tobirama, at this moment, Senju Tobirama had indeed broken free from the control of Edo Tensei.
Even though Uchiha En specifically instructed Yakushi Kabuto to erase the consciousness of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, he was still outsmarted.
After all, the Edo Tensei jutsu was created by Senju Tobirama. As the creator of the jutsu, if the precision of the Edo Tensei was high enough, Senju Tobirama actually had many ways to break free.
Just now, when fighting Yamato, Senju Tobirama was controlled by Yamato's Wood Dragon. While the Wood Dragon was absorbing Senju Tobirama's Chakra, Senju Tobirama's backup plan activated: the Chakra restricted by the Wood Dragon was Yakushi Kabuto's Chakra.
Senju Tobirama took the opportunity to break free from control, then immediately used Edo Tensei Release to regain his own body.
"Are you really Lord Tobirama?" Yamato asked cautiously.
"It's me."
"How do you prove it?"
"How do you want me to prove it?"
Yamato thought for a moment and asked some questions about Konoha.
Senju Tobirama couldn't answer most of them.
And that part was about things that happened after his death.
At this point, Yamato confirmed Senju Tobirama's identity and released the Wood Dragon Jutsu.
"You're not from our Senju Clan, are you?" Senju Tobirama asked, patting the dust off himself.
Yamato nodded.
"Is it fused with my brother's cells?"
"Yes, Lord Second."
"Konoha really got messed up in the hands of the monkeys! Alright, tell me about the current situation in the Ninja World! And what's this war all about?"
Yamato organized his thoughts and explained the situation to Senju Tobirama.
"You mean the Ninja World is unified now?" Senju Tobirama asked, stunned.
Yamato nodded.
"So that guy Uchiha En succeeded? But I always feel like this war isn't quite right." Thinking this, Senju Tobirama decided to go talk to Uchiha En personally.
"Your name is Yamato, right?" Senju Tobirama asked.
Yamato nodded.
"Take me to Uchiha En, I have something to discuss with him."
Returning to Yakushi Kabuto's side.
Yakushi Kabuto felt it was about time; now should be when Takegami Ōtsutsuki could join the battle. So he turned to the three and said, "Lord Madara, Lord Takegami, Pain, it's time for you to make your appearance."
"Kabuto, Pain should stay with you! If the Shinobi Allied Forces come looking, something unexpected might happen," Takegami Ōtsutsuki said.
"No need, I'm not someone ordinary people can deal with now. Only a few in the Five Great Ninja Villages can threaten me, and they wouldn't dare to kill me. As long as I'm alive, they can't dispel the Edo Tensei."
"Confidence is good, but don't be too arrogant. There are still some capable people in the Ninja World," Takegami Ōtsutsuki said.
"Alright, then let's do as you say! Pain will stay to protect me."
"Very well, then Uchiha Madara and I will leave first." With that, Takegami Ōtsutsuki and Uchiha Madara left the cave together, each heading in a different direction towards the battlefield.
Uchiha Madara hadn't gone far when he saw White Zetsu's clones. He stopped and blocked one of them: "Where is your main body? Where is Black Zetsu? Tell them to come see me."
The White Zetsu clone immediately began to contact White Zetsu, and soon White Zetsu arrived.
"Where did Black Zetsu go? What happened in the long time after my death? Why was I revived by Edo Tensei instead of the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu? What's this Ninja World War all about? What are Obito and Nagato doing?" Uchiha Madara asked White Zetsu.
Facing Uchiha Madara's barrage of questions, White Zetsu scratched his head and said, "Lord Madara, it's not that we didn't want to use Rinne Rebirth to revive you, but Nagato broke free from our control.
And Black Zetsu is the will of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya; we were all deceived by him. Obito and I almost fell into Black Zetsu's trap.
Later, Takegami Ōtsutsuki also came to the Ninja World, helped Nagato resolve his physical problems, and reached an agreement with Nagato. We simply couldn't control Nagato to perform Rinne Rebirth."
Uchiha Madara frowned after hearing Black Zetsu's words. To be honest, he hadn't expected the situation to develop this way.
That Black Zetsu guy wasn't his will but Kaguya's will. Fortunately, he exposed himself early; if he had continued to lurk, he might have been fooled in the end.
As for Nagato and Takegami Ōtsutsuki, those two teaming up was indeed troublesome.
"What about Obito? What is he doing now? Bring him to me!"
"Lord Madara, I'm afraid that's not possible either. Obito just obtained some of the Nine-Tails' Chakra and is now preparing to revive the Ten-Tails."
Uchiha Madara frowned, "Only a portion of the Nine-Tails' Chakra and he's preparing to revive it? What exactly is Obito doing?!"
"Lord Madara, Obito has his own ideas. I think we shouldn't bother him for now; let him do as he pleases. Right now, we should focus on dealing with the Shinobi Allied Forces.
The Shinobi Allied Forces have two powerful individuals, Uchiha En and Asana. Their strength is comparable to Takegami Ōtsutsuki. We should seize this opportunity to maximize the damage to their fighting forces," White Zetsu advised.
Uchiha Madara thought for a moment and agreed with White Zetsu's suggestion: "Very well, I'll go play on the battlefield for a bit. White Zetsu, you keep an eye on Obito; don't let him do anything out of line."
"Yes, Lord Madara." With that, White Zetsu submerged into the ground and disappeared.
