Shisui looked at Madara with a calm expression and said, "I didn't expect Madara to be so similar to a certain person."
Raichi asked curiously, "Is it Sasuke?"
"How did you suddenly become smart?" Shisui frowned deeply, as if suspecting Raichi was an imposter.
"I..." Raichi clenched her fists in anger.
Finally, for the sake of the Storm Release Chakra Mode, she let him go and charged towards Madara.
The Mangekyo users charged forward one after another. Hashirama cooperated with the Uchiha. Just now was a reunion of old friends. Now, it is war!
Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands!
In an instant, the Wood Human and Wood Dragon beneath Hashirama expanded. The 170-meter figure manifested as a massive statue of over 400 meters, followed by the transformation of a thousand arms, causing its size to multiply, reaching a scale of a thousand meters. The 200-meter tall Susanoo appeared petite in front of it.
Those thousand arms surged forward to attack Madara, creating a violent gale.
The Uchiha were stunned.
Is this the combat power of that era?!
Seeing this, Madara was extremely excited and formed hand seals, which the Susanoo followed.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The Uchiha looked at the Susanoo about to spit fire, filled with terror.
"Holy crap!!!"
They hurriedly fled.
The next moment, the Susanoo spat out flames, condensing into a massive fireball, blocking the thousand palms.
In front of the two of them, even a Susanoo thirty meters tall was as insignificant as an ant.
But at this time, Shisui, Raichi, and some other Uchiha had already circled behind Madara.
Just as they were about to sneak attack, they saw the Susanoo behind them holding a blue longsword, slashing down.
"Damn! How is he so fierce!" Raichi gritted her teeth.
They didn't expect that while fighting such a terrifying Hashirama, Madara still had the mind to prevent sneak attacks and attack them.
They hurriedly dodged and looked for another opportunity.
The two sides fought fiercely, and for a time, it was hard to tell who was superior.
—
To the side, the three Hokage watching the battle couldn't sit still. After glancing at Orochimaru, they immediately stepped forward to help.
However, because the Uchiha were constantly sneak-attacking Hiruzen, it seriously affected the battle, forcing Hiruzen to withdraw helplessly.
Kabuto's expression was ugly. At this moment, he realized that the facts were just as Orochimaru had expected. Madara had already broken through his control.
He had released a monster! He had been completely played!
As the one who released Hashirama, Orochimaru didn't feel the slightest guilt. Instead, he watched with great interest, feeling very excited.
He looked at Itachi and Sasuke beside him and chuckled. "Aren't you two going to go up and help?"
"Instead of helping them, I'm more curious about that side." Sasuke looked coldly towards the direction of the Tailed Beasts where Naruto was.
"Then let's go take a look?" Orochimaru smiled.
"No need, they will come over themselves." Sasuke said.
He could feel Naruto's Chakra over there, mixed with the Tailed Beasts' Chakra. Clearly, he had successfully become a perfect Jinchuriki. He should be fighting now.
He actually wanted to go over a bit, but the sentence he had said before, "He's too weak," crushed that thought.
Most importantly, he had to stay here to see the outcome of this battle before him. Whether it was Madara or Hashirama who survived, he would kill them both. At that time, the guy who has been hiding behind the scenes will definitely show up.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold glint.
Itachi glanced at him with a flat expression, but there was a hint of helplessness hidden within.
He looked in the direction where Naruto was fighting.
'Hiromi hasn't made a move, which means he's testing the mastermind... or testing me?'
'No, Hiromi wouldn't test me. If he didn't trust me, he would definitely act immediately or state his position directly.'
'Yes, Hiromi can be trusted, and I must trust Hiromi.'
Itachi suppressed his extreme tendency to distrust anyone, quietly watching the earth-shattering battle before him, waiting for the outcome.
—
The forest.
Black Zetsu stared ahead.
Naruto, in his Kurama Chakra Mode, was fighting several Tailed Beasts alone. While resisting, he also wanted to pull out the black rods he had placed on the Tailed Beasts.
Black Zetsu frowned.
Something's wrong!
He could feel another power hidden inside Naruto's body. Very familiar, yet somewhat strange. As Kaguya's will, he found it incomprehensible that there were still unknown existences on this planet.
But regardless, Madara's desire for battle has been vented, and this half of Nine-Tails can be taken back.
He glanced in the direction of the Uchiha Imperial City. 'Is Hiromi waiting for me to bring out my final trump card before making a move?'
Black Zetsu sneered, 'I hope you can still maintain such confidence after mother is successfully resurrected.'
Then, he looked at the Tailed Beasts, controlled Obito's body, and formed hand seals.
Summoning: Gedo Statue!
Beneath him, a cloud of smoke erupted. Before the smoke even cleared, several chains shackled the Tailed Beasts' necks, pulling them back by force.
"Everyone!!!" Naruto immediately rushed forward.
Just now, at Shukaku's invitation, he and the other Tailed Beasts had entered a strange world, communicating and connecting with the Tailed Beasts and their Jinchuriki. He was trusted by them and entrusted with their Chakra.
Now, he hadn't even rescued them yet!
Naruto was about to rush forward but was stopped by Kurama.
The next second, the voices of the Tailed Beasts echoed in his mind.
"Naruto! Only Gyuki is left! Find its Jinchuriki!"
"Everyone!!!" Naruto watched as they were pulled inside, filled with grief.
But the next moment, a chain shackled Kurama's neck.
"Naruto..."
Kurama struggled violently but it still couldn't break free from that chain.
As Kurama was once again extracted from his body, Naruto let out a tragic scream.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
Black Zetsu looked on coldly. After reclaiming this remaining half of Nine-Tails, he intended to kill Naruto. But at this moment, three figures suddenly appeared.
Before he could react, Obito inside him began to struggle frantically.
"Rin... Rin... Rin..."
A voice, stiff as a zombie's, kept echoing from his mouth. The next moment, it vanished, as if it had been erased.
"To think you could briefly struggle out of my control." Black Zetsu stared at Rin, his killing intent fierce.
As long as Rin was killed, Obito would no longer resist!
But the moment this killing intent surfaced, his body was flooded with an overwhelmingly strong will to resist. It was as if he had touched Obito's reverse scale, and he was crazily trying to perish together with him.
Black Zetsu's expression was grim. His gaze flickered a few times, and he decisively turned around, stumbling away in a hurry.
Seeing this, Rin's eyes split with rage, bloodshot with hatred filling hereyes. "Obito! Is that all you can do?! Run away?!"
Even Tsunade and Shizune were startled by this hatred. It was hard to believe that Rin's hatred could be so immense.
Tsunade glanced at Rin, feeling somewhat worried.
Immediately after, she looked at Naruto behind her. That blood-soaked appearance assaulted her mind. She trembled uncontrollably, looked away, and closed her eyes.
"Shi...Shizune..."
"Yes! Tsunade-sama!"
Shizune hurriedly stepped forward to check on Naruto's condition. Soon, she made an assessment—this boy was done for.
But what she didn't expect was for Naruto to struggle and murmur: "Eight-Tails... Gyuki... Orochimaru... Dad..."
Naruto triggered the Flying Thunder God mark. In an instant, a blond youth appeared beside him.
"Minato?!" Shizune was somewhat shocked.
Seeing Naruto's condition, Minato's expression changed drastically.
Hearing the sound, he lifted his head, saw some familiar people, and was filled with shock and doubt.
"Shizune?"
"Tsunade-sama?!"
"Are you... Rin?" Minato was somewhat unsure.
"Minato-sensei!"
Rin hadn't expected to see her teacher again. The grievances of this period made her unable to hold back her tears.
But the situation was critical. Minato could not afford to catch up with Rin and hurriedly said to Tsunade, "Tsunade-sama, please save my son."
Tsunade's expression was grim. Her hemophobia had not yet healed. With a grim expression, she turned her head away, fully expressing her resistance.
Shizune immediately said, "I will do it."
Minato did not understand Tsunade's situation, but he immediately stepped aside and watched Shizune nervously.
With a grave expression, Shizune immediately used medical Ninjutsu. Naruto's expression improved slightly, but he was still in a near-death state.
"Eight-Tails... Orochimaru..."
Everyone did not understand what he meant.
"How is it?" Minato asked hurriedly.
Shizune shook her head and said, "I can only sustain his life."
Minato clenched his fists. The next second, he loosened his fists, forced a smile, and looked at Rin.
"Rin, we'll talk next time."
Immediately after, he looked at Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama..."
Before he could finish, Tsunade turned her head away.
Minato's expression dimmed, and he could only look at Shizune. "Can you come with me to see Orochimaru-sama?"
Shizune looked at Tsunade. "Tsunade-sama?"
Tsunade kept her eyes tightly shut, enduring the fear in her heart, and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Shizune nodded at Minato. Minato bowed ninety degrees to Tsunade and immediately disappeared with Naruto and Shizune, leaving only Tsunade and Rin behind.
Rin looked at Tsunade and frowned. "Hemophobia?"
Tsunade's body trembled, then she gave a bitter smile, hugged her trembling self, and lowered her head without speaking.
She felt as if she could see Rin's mockery, as well as the ridicule of others. Being a medical ninja, yet being afraid of seeing blood...
Seeing such a fragile Tsunade, Rin pressed her lips tightly, as if she were stopping herself from doing something.
In the end, she compromised on something, stepped forward, opened her arms, and hugged Tsunade.
"A teacher for a day is a teacher for life. Tsunade-sama, I will cure you, whether it's resurrecting your brother or resurrecting your lover."
Tsunade stiffened, like a stone. But in Rin's seemingly ever-warm embrace, she gradually softened. The embrace, lasting tens of seconds, seemed to clear away more than a decade of pain and confusion.
A soft "Mm", carrying a sobbing tone, sounded.
