After sensing Kazekaze's terrifying talent, Uchiha Madara made up his mind completely. Taking advantage of the fact that he lost the protection of Hashirama and Tobirama, he would eliminate him! This little brat Kazekaze can no longer be left unchecked!
However, Uchiha Madara did not step out from behind the scenes. On one hand, it was related to his current body. On the other hand, Kazekaze was indeed very talented and had defeated many strong opponents like Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Hōzuki Gengetsu. But these ninjas were only considered strong in the eyes of others. In Uchiha Madara's eyes, they were mere grains of sand, not even close to him. Looking across the entire ninja world, the only ninja who could match him was Senju Hashirama.
In other words, with Kazekaze's current strength, he didn't even need to exert his full power. "Just my clone is enough to deal with Kazekaze."
The Uchiha Madara appearing at Mount Myoboku now was not the real Madara, but a clone created through the Shapeshifting Technique. A ninjutsu where Uchiha Madara distributed his chakra to a living sacrifice. The only drawback was that when the allocated chakra was exhausted, the ninja used as a sacrifice would die. However, the sacrifices Uchiha Madara used were actually numerous White Zetsu. Even if they died, it didn't matter. But with Uchiha Madara's current power, he only allocated thirty percent of his chakra.
"Although it's only thirty percent chakra, releasing the power of the Eternal Mangekyo is no problem for me. Even that genius brat Kazekaze. In front of my complete Susanoo, he will be utterly defeated."Uchiha Madara thought to himself. After all, Kazekaze's current Wood Release was far from Hashirama's peak. It was impossible to contend with his Susanoo.
Meanwhile, because all the toads of Mount Myoboku went to the Toad Oil Waterfall to watch the excitement, Uchiha Madara encountered no obstruction from the toads along the way. He maximized his chakra sensing ability. Soon he locked onto Kazekaze's location. "Found him." Uchiha Madara kicked off with his feet, leaping high towards the Toad Oil Waterfall.
When he arrived, Kazekaze had just closed Sage Mode. After all, he was only proving to Fukasaku that he could freely activate Sage Mode without relying on toad oil. He wasn't planning to fight anyone.
"Finally found you." Uchiha Madara descended from the sky, landing firmly. His dashing entrance instantly caught the attention of all the toads. Then Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu, and Yan turned to look at the newcomer. Since Uchiha Madara had left the village long ago, Hiruzen and the others had only heard of Uchiha Madara's name. They had never seen Uchiha Madara in person. The only one who knew about Uchiha Madara, Kagami, was not in this team.
Next, Gamabunta, Fukasaku, and Kazekaze turned to look at the newcomer. "Madara?" Kazekaze blinked, his mind buzzing, somewhat blank. He never dreamed he would encounter the legendary Madara in a place like Mount Myoboku! Logically, shouldn't he be hiding in the dark crevices, waiting for Obito's arrival? Why would he come here? Wasn't he worried that the news of him being alive would reach Hashirama?
However, as soon as this thought emerged, Kazekaze realized. In this world, only one type of person can keep secrets. The dead! Since Uchiha Madara appeared here without a mask, it meant he, Uchiha Madara, did not intend to leave any survivors!
'As expected of Uchiha Madara, completely different from Obito's style.' Kazekaze thought to himself. Indeed, only someone like Uchiha Obito, who lacked real strength, needed various means to disguise himself. As for the real Uchiha Madara, why bother with all that flashy stuff? Just take action directly.
'I suppose this time Madara is here for me.' Kazekaze's eyes narrowed slightly, scrutinizing Madara, analyzing this possibility. Yes, Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu, and Yan. They indeed became big shots in Konoha in the future, holding power in Konoha. But in Uchiha Madara's eyes, what did these guys amount to? Nothing at all. As for the toads of Mount Myoboku, they had no grudges with Uchiha Madara. Clearly, there was no interaction.
'Eliminate all impossibilities, and whatever remains, no matter how improbable it seems, it is the only answer! Uchiha Madara, this time he's here for me!' Thinking this, Kazekaze's gaze became sharp. Even though he knew Madara's target was him, Kazekaze was not afraid. If Uchiha Madara had acted earlier, he might have feared him. But now, he had already learned Sage Arts. His strength had undergone a tremendous change.
'Moreover, my Wind Release Rasenshuriken is also completely finished.' If it really comes to a fight, I have nothing to fear. Of course, although Kazekaze thought this, he didn't rush to act.
"A ninja?" Hiruzen blinked, scrutinizing Uchiha Madara. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt an intense pressure from Uchiha Madara. This man was not simple. In fact, not only them, the toads of Mount Myoboku also became tense.
"Although we at Mount Myoboku welcome ninjas who find their way here, this man exudes an ominous aura." Fukasaku half-closed his eyes, sensing danger from Madara. And Uchiha Madara, likewise, was in no hurry to deal with Kazekaze. In his view, Kazekaze was already a fish in a barrel. There was no escape. He looked around, assessing the number of toads. For his Eye of the Moon plan, he didn't intend to leave any survivors.
Then, Uchiha Madara's gaze fell on Hiruzen and the others. These Konoha brats, without exception, had "Who is this" written on their faces.
"It seems I've been away from the village too long, and people have gradually forgotten me. But that's fine, for brats like you who are about to die here. You don't deserve to know my name." Uchiha Madara's voice was low, exuding a powerful aura. And his long hair swayed in the breeze, adding a touch of color to his strength.
"What?!" Danzo frowned, he had never seen a ninja as arrogant as Uchiha Madara. In an instant, Danzo formed seals with his hands, decisively attacking Uchiha Madara. Planning to... kill him instantly!
