In Zetsu's opinion, Madara, now resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, was undoubtedly the strongest force in the ninja world.
Madara could feel the faint presence of Hashirama Senju coursing through his modified body. The fusion of Hashirama cells made his form even more formidable. Things were getting serious.
Zetsu bowed slightly, his voice even. "Madara-sama, your revival through Impure World Reincarnation is our contingency. Kurama has become the perfect Nine-Tails Jinchūriki. He has also collected every other tailed beast."
Obito stood silently beside him, his mask reflecting the dim torchlight of the underground chamber.
Zetsu continued, "No one can predict what Kurama intends to do with that kind of power. Having you as an asset... ensures our advantage."
"Impure World Reincarnation!" Obito invoked again, voice calm.
Suddenly, the earth cracked open, and two more coffins emerged from the depths.
With a heavy bang, the lids crashed to the ground, revealing none other than the God of Shinobi, Senju Hashirama, and his younger brother, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
To ensure success, Obito had taken a gamble, using forbidden methods to summon even these legendary figures.
They hadn't awakened yet, still lying dormant inside the coffins.
Madara chuckled, his eyes narrowing. "Hashirama, Tobirama. So you've summoned them too?"
He paused, his tone suddenly cold. "But a level-13 technique like Impure World Reincarnation isn't enough to truly control them."
Zetsu's expression twisted into a grin. "Do not worry, Madara-sama. Their bodies are enhanced with Hashirama cells. They won't have a chance to awaken their personalities. We'll erase them immediately."
To Madara, they were merely puppets now.
But his gaze lingered on Hashirama.
"Obito. Zetsu. You really believe this Kurama is worth such measures? You want me to team up with Hashirama?"
Uchiha Madara let out a disdainful laugh.
There was no one in this world worthy of making him ally with his eternal rival. During their lifetimes, they were gods walking among mortals. No shinobi dared challenge them.
To suggest an alliance with Hashirama now? It was insulting.
Still, Madara smirked. "Let Hashirama watch as Konoha crumbles by my hand."
"Kurama, the Tailed Beasts, and the Rinnegan... they're all in Konoha, correct?"
Zetsu nodded. "Yes, Madara-sama."
Madara's eyes gleamed. "Then let's go. I'm done waiting."
With a blur, Madara vanished, racing toward the Land of Fire, his chakra pulsing like a storm.
Obito and Zetsu followed close behind, dragging Hashirama and Tobirama with them, still bound in their reanimated forms.
The idea of Madara and Hashirama fighting on the same side was unthinkable.
Obito smiled beneath his mask. "Kurama-sensei, I hope you're ready."
Meanwhile, back in Konoha...
The aftermath of Kurama's "punishment" still lingered.
Tsunade, Kushina, and Mikoto had tried a bold three-on-one plan against him. But Kurama's own version of a three-on-one had proven far more... thorough.
In the Hokage office, Tsunade was buried in paperwork. Mikoto helped her organize the clutter.
Kurama entered casually, grinning. "Hey Tsunade, Mikoto. Working hard? Ready for round two?"
Without hesitation, Tsunade hurled a stack of documents at him.
"You damn bastard! You're shameless!"
"Shameless?" Kurama tilted his head. "Everything I did was perfectly fair."
Suddenly, his expression darkened.
He sensed it.
Multiple powerful chakras, each far beyond the norm, closing in on Konoha.
Kurama's smirk vanished. "Tsk. They're finally here."
Tsunade immediately took notice. She knew that look.
"Kurama, what did you sense?"
Mikoto stepped closer, concern in her voice. "Is it an enemy?"
Kurama turned toward the window. "Yeah. Some troublesome old ghosts. I'll handle it."
He vanished in an instant.
Moments later, Kushina burst into the office, panting.
Tsunade stood up. "Kushina? What happened?"
Kushina's face was pale, her fists clenched. "I sensed it too. Several strange, heavy chakras approaching fast. Nothing like I've ever felt. Where's Kurama-sama?"
"He already left," Tsunade answered grimly. "He went to deal with it."
Kushina looked out the window, then smiled faintly. "No one else can face what's coming. Kurama-sama is the only one we can trust."
Tsunade nodded. "Yeah... You're right."
Far beyond the walls of Konoha, Uchiha Madara stood still.
The wind blew through his reanimated hair as he stared toward the horizon.
Zetsu hovered nearby. "Madara-sama, what's the delay?"
Madara raised his arm, summoning a surge of chakra. "Zetsu. Before I annihilate Konoha, I want the world to see. I want them to witness the return of Uchiha Madara. I want them to fear me."
His laughter echoed across the forest.
"Let them know the age of illusions is over. Let them know that gods have returned."
Zetsu nodded. "Understood. I'll show the entire world."
Moments later, a massive projection chakra curtain unfolded across the skies above every major village.
Iwagakure, Land of Earth.
"Tsuchikage-sama! There's a phenomenon in the sky!"
Onoki's brow furrowed. He shuffled toward the window and gazed into the clouds.
The sky shimmered.
A gigantic, translucent image lit up, visible even from miles away.
Onoki scowled. The shinobi world had grown increasingly unstable. Sunagakure had mysteriously vanished. Hanzō of the Salamander had fallen. Amegakure was wiped off the map.
Everything pointed toward Konoha.
And now, this. A massive, god-like presence emerging in the sky.
The image flickered.
A figure appeared.
A voice boomed.
"Greetings, shinobi of the world. Miss me?"
It was him.
Uchiha Madara.
Onoki's face turned ashen white.
