Chapter 170: The Overwhelming Power of Uchiha Madara
He's too strong!
The man before them was simply too powerful!!
He hadn't even lifted a finger, yet he used the terrifying power of the Rinnegan to suppress everyone present. The crushing sense of helplessness was utterly despair-inducing.
"Heh..."
Watching the scene unfold,
The masked man, Uchiha Obito, snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain.
What a joke.
How could these insect-like shinobi understand just how powerful Uchiha Madara—at his peak and wielding the Rinnegan—truly was?
To put it mildly, the fact that Madara wasn't outright annihilating everything before him was already giving Iwagakure a great deal of face.
---
"Uchiha Madara, stop right there!"
But at that moment...
Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, seemed to finally react. He suppressed the fear in his heart and floated back into the air.
"What...?"
"This man is... Uchiha Madara?"
"The legendary shinobi who once rivaled the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama?"
"....."
He didn't need to say more.
The shock in his words was enough to cause Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, and the other top Iwagakure officials—already paralyzed on the ground—to feel their hair stand on end. Their expressions twisted in disbelief and dread.
It couldn't be...
They had speculated about many identities for the man in front of them, but none of them expected this person with the Rinnegan to be Uchiha Madara himself.
Of course, it wasn't entirely their fault. In their panic, they failed to pick up on the clues that could have revealed the truth earlier.
---
"Ōnoki, you're still the same."
Hearing the name, Madara's gaze shifted slightly. With just a thought, he withdrew his Rinnegan's oppressive power, shook his head calmly, and said coldly:
"After all these years, you're still this weak. What a waste."
"You...!"
Facing Madara once again, the Third Tsuchikage's expression shifted several times. He opened his mouth, wanting to retort, but the words wouldn't come.
Because what Madara said wasn't wrong.
Even after so many years, Ōnoki had made little progress in strength.
---
"Aren't you supposed to be dead?"
After a brief silence, the Third Tsuchikage took a deep breath and asked,
"Why are you still alive? What are you trying to do in Iwagakure?"
"I came here to make Iwagakure submit to me."
Madara didn't hesitate. He said indifferently, "I've been preparing for years. The time has come. A war that will engulf the entire ninja world is about to begin."
---
"What?!"
BOOM!
Whether out of fear or disbelief, Ōnoki's body trembled violently. His eyes widened as he stared at Madara in complete shock.
"Wait... you're planning to make me submit?"
A few seconds passed before the Third Tsuchikage fully processed what he had heard. Frowning, he responded sharply:
"Uchiha Madara, don't be ridiculous. Even if I die, I will never surrender to you."
Then, with a trace of defiance, he added,
"The current Fifth Hokage—Uchiha Yuta, hailed as the new God of the Shinobi—has already defeated a reincarnated First Hokage. In terms of strength, he might even surpass you!"
---
"Hmph..."
Before the words had even fully landed,
Madara snorted coldly, clearly uninterested in such comparisons. He changed the topic with an icy tone:
"Surrender or die."
---
Ōnoki's expression stiffened.
He had seen arrogance before, but never had he encountered someone as utterly shameless as Uchiha Madara.
---
"Ōnoki, hurry it up."
At that moment, Uchiha Obito, who had been silent until now, spoke impatiently:
"If you don't surrender, then Iwagakure will be wiped from the map."
"Oh, and once you're dead, we'll just bring you back with Edo Tensei. Consider it... waste recycling."
---
Pfft!
Ōnoki couldn't take it anymore.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood from sheer anger.
What the hell was "waste recycling"? These two were too outrageous!
As for the high-ranking officials like Kurotsuchi and Kitsuchi, they were left speechless. They had been mentally prepared for death...
But to be killed and then revived through Edo Tensei, just to be controlled by Madara?
That was worse than death.
---
"Ōnoki, if you surrender, we'll also resurrect the First and Second Tsuchikage."
Sensing that the pressure had reached its peak, Uchiha Obito added calmly,
---
"What?!"
"You want to resurrect the First and Second Tsuchikage?!"
"If they return, the overall strength of Iwagakure will rise by at least one tier..."
"..."
Buzz!!
That single sentence...
Was enough to cause an uproar among Ōnoki, Kurotsuchi, Kitsuchi, and all of Iwagakure's top brass.
It was no joke.
If the First Tsuchikage—Ishikawa, and Second Tsuchikage—Mū were truly resurrected...
Just thinking about it made every Iwagakure ninja tremble with excitement.
Those were the village's founding heroes!
---
Thinking it over...
Surrender suddenly didn't sound so bad.
---
"...Fine."
A few moments later,
The Third Tsuchikage took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"Uchiha Madara, Iwagakure is willing to submit to you!"
---
"Good."
The corners of Madara's mouth lifted slightly as he nodded and replied coldly,
"A wise choice."
