Konoha Village.
"Impossible—absolutely impossible," Danzo rasped, losing composure—and he wasn't alone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't doing much better. He held his pipe in his mouth, but at this moment, he wasn't even smoking. He stared intently at the screen as the title appeared...
Shock, utter shock.
"Uchiha Madara is dead! Tobirama-sensei personally collected his corpse!!!"
Danzo Shimura shouted, losing his composure. He stared at the title on the screen, his breathing becoming rapid, because for Konoha Village, this was not good news at all.
Or rather, it was a disaster!!!
The reason was simple: who was Uchiha Madara? His name alone was an existence that could strike fear into other ninja villages.
When he was still alive, only Senju Hashirama could slightly suppress him.
Now Senju Hashirama is dead, yet he is still alive?! Then who in this world can suppress him??
Rely on himself and Hiruzen? Don't make me laugh.
Although Danzo Shimura was ambitious, he was no fool. He knew very well that Uchiha Madara's strength had already surpassed the title of 'Kage'.
The strength of a man who once pacified the chaotic era alongside Senju Hashirama was beyond their imagination.
"No, it's not impossible." Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, quickly composing his emotions. He took a deep breath and looked at Danzo Shimura, saying, "Have you forgotten? Tobirama-sensei also said that Uchiha Madara's body went missing."
"It was also because of that time that Tobirama-sensei suspected someone from the Uchiha family had stolen Uchiha Madara's corpse."
"But now..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi tried his best not to think about those terrifying things, but Konoha currently lacked powerful experts. If Uchiha Madara truly came, they would have no power to resist.
Furthermore, the Uchiha Clan had been exterminated. If Uchiha Madara really appeared, Konoha wouldn't even be able to use family bonds to make him stay his hand.
If he didn't stay his hand...
Then Konoha would be finished.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a hint of regret. He looked at Danzo Shimura, who also clenched his fists and looked back at him.
The two old men both saw 'regret' in each other's eyes. The move to destroy the Uchiha was a mistake.
"Let's watch the video." Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to age several more years as he sighed and said, "Hopefully, we can find a way to break this situation within the video."
Danzo Shimura also sighed, adding with a hint of wishful thinking, "It's also possible that these are images from the past."
This was the situation in Konoha.
In Iwagakure.
The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, who was issuing one command after another, also noticed the title at this moment.
He didn't look at the Eight Gates; instead, his gaze was fixed firmly on Six Paths Madara.
"Madara!!!!" Ōnoki's voice revealed a trace of resentment and fear. Seeing that name, memories surfaced in his mind of when he and Lord Mu went to Konoha Village to form an alliance.
In the end, they encountered Uchiha Madara. This guy... this guy... his strength was too great, too terrifying!!!!
At that time, he and Lord Mu joined forces to fight Madara, but they lost that battle—lost completely and utterly.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara didn't receive a single scratch. The difference in their strength was like heaven and earth.
It was because of that battle that Ōnoki felt what it meant to be Uchiha, and what Uchiha Madara truly was!!!!
Later, for this reason, Ōnoki became extremely hostile toward Konoha. In the first three Great Ninja Wars, Iwagakure killed countless elite geniuses and experts from Konoha.
"Is he still alive?! That guy!!!" Ōnoki gasped for air. In this moment, he felt as if he had returned to that night.
That night when he was dominated by the fear of Uchiha Madara.
"No, if he were still alive, he would definitely be older than me." Ōnoki shook his head frantically, feeling it was unrealistic. How many years had passed?
Even if Uchiha Madara's strength was great, it was impossible for him to remain eternally young.
Even the legendary ancestor of Chakra—the Six Paths Sage—couldn't defeat the passage of time.
Then, Ōnoki saw the three words 'Six Paths Madara,' and his expression froze. Could it be that he really obtained the power of the Six Paths Sage?
The Akatsuki Organization.
"Madara? Who's that?" Hidan scratched his head as he looked at the name, appearing somewhat confused. If it were the God of Shinobi—Senju Hashirama—he would have some impression.
But as for Uchiha Madara, he was truly unfamiliar with him, as he wasn't from that era.
Additionally, most people only remembered the God of Shinobi who pacified the chaotic era; not many remembered Uchiha Madara.
However, just because he didn't know didn't mean the members of the Akatsuki were unaware.
"Madara..." Konan narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked at Pain standing nearby, as if to say she didn't expect that guy to show his face.
"Idiot." Kakuzu looked at Hidan with disdain, then provided some background: "Uchiha Madara was the rival of Senju Hashirama, also a figure who pacified the chaotic era, and... he was much more brutal than Senju Hashirama."
As Kakuzu said this, his tone became somewhat subtle.
Fortunately, those Higher-Ups back then had sent him to assassinate Senju Hashirama instead of Uchiha Madara.
With Uchiha Madara's explosive temper, even if he just casually threw a Kunai, the man would probably have swatted him to death for the crime of 'provocation.'
"Oh~ I see." Hidan clasped his hands behind his head and looked at Kakuzu with a smile. "But Kakuzu, you're someone who once fought Senju Hashirama. I'm sure you could fight Uchiha Madara too."
"..." Kakuzu didn't want to deal with Hidan; the man was a total idiot.
"Uchiha Madara, your ancestor, Itachi-san." Kisame Hoshigaki looked at Itachi with a subtle expression and chuckled. "Don't you have any thoughts?"
"None."
Uchiha Itachi was very calm. He had also met 'Madara,' so he didn't have much feeling about it.
However, 'Six Paths Madara'? Was this title saying that Uchiha Madara's plan was to become an existence like the Six Paths Sage?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Itachi looked at Pain above.
Those Rinnegan were the legendary eyes of the sage. Could it be that Uchiha Madara's plan was to seize Pain's eyes?
Due to a lack of information, Uchiha Itachi could only speculate inwardly.
Within the Akatsuki, everyone was debating heatedly, while in a dark corner, Black and White Zetsu remained silent.
'Lord Madara succeeded? He's been resurrected?!'
White Zetsu appeared exceptionally surprised. Obito's plan hadn't even been carried out yet, so why did Lord Madara appear in the video?
'I don't know, but Obito should be very happy when he finds out.' Black Zetsu also said with an internal smile.
In fact, that was indeed the case.
In Amegakure, Obito's face was quite unsightly as he looked at the title.
He had no intention of resurrecting Madara at all. Why did the man appear in the multiverse projection? Could it be that the future plan changed, forcing him to resurrect him?
