Boom!
A simple, unadorned kick landed on the half-body, unarmored Susanoo. The seemingly solid blue chakra flesh, meridians, and skeleton shattered, and a large foot rapidly grew larger in Madara's vision.
Before Madara Uchiha could be surprised, he subconsciously blocked his chest with his arms and was kicked flying.
Obito Uchiha was grazed by Madara and also sent flying.
Feeling the black-red streak of light pass by, Black and White Zetsu felt a chill down their spines and quickly ran further away.
Boom!
Madara Uchiha lost control of his body and smashed through several towering trees before stopping, paper scraps flying from his arms and back.
Obito Uchiha also knocked down a giant tree. Although his physical fitness meant he wasn't seriously injured, it certainly wasn't pleasant.
"Is this the ultimate power of the Uchiha clan, Susanoo?"
"It's nothing special." Kageyama Kogetsu landed lightly on a fallen tree trunk, looking disappointed.
"Hmph, I admit your taijutsu is strong, but don't be too arrogant!" Madara Uchiha was annoyed and spoke in an unfriendly tone, forming hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Raging flames spewed from Madara Uchiha's mouth, turning into a majestic wave of fire. Heat waves rolled wherever it passed, the air distorted, and the forest was ignited, becoming fuel for the ninjutsu.
Obito Uchiha, enveloped by the ninjutsu, leaped high to avoid the wave of fire. He formed hand seals, and a spatial vortex appeared in his right eye, spewing a stream of fire.
Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!
The spinning fire tornado merged into the wave of fire. The combined power surged, dyeing a small patch of the sky fiery red, a magnificent sight!
"Impressive power, but still a bit thin."
Gentle Fist: Vacuum Wall Palm!
Kageyama Kogetsu stood calmly in place and threw a punch with his right fist. A giant pale purple chakra fist brutally smashed the wave of fire and the fire tornado in half from the middle, sending countless sparks flying...
Surrounded by a sea of flames, Kageyama Kogetsu stood motionless.
When the chakra flames disappeared, only the flames on the periphery remained burning. The towering trees in the middle had been burned to charcoal, wisps of green smoke rising, and the air was filled with a thick burnt smell.
"Oh, have you finally brought out your trump cards?"
The Six Paths of Jinchūriki Pain and two coffins had already appeared on the ground. Obito Uchiha was about to speak but stopped, looking behind Kageyama Kogetsu...
Figures darted out of the forest. The leader was Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing battle armor and looking even thinner. Behind him were Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.
The ninja behind them were all strong ninja of Konoha. Famous Jōnin were there, as were ordinary Jōnin, or squads whose combined combat power surpassed that of an ordinary Jōnin.
Not all of Konoha's elite forces had come. Some were not in the village, and some were in ninja clans that hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet.
"Lord Hokage (Kogetsu)."
Except for Sarutobi Hiruzen, the veteran Third Hokage, everyone else addressed him by his title in this formal setting, regardless of their status.
"At ease. Didn't I say only Sasuke and Naruto should come? Why are you all here?" Kageyama Kogetsu asked in a displeased tone.
"Kogetsu, don't blame them. I led them here, and everyone was worried," Sarutobi Hiruzen explained.
"Don't let it happen again."
"Only a very small number of you are qualified to intervene in the upcoming battle, and even then, it will be extremely dangerous."
"To avoid meaningless casualties, except for the ninja whose names I call, everyone else go back to guard Konoha."
"Lord Third, Kakashi, Guy, Kurenai, Asuma, Sasuke, Naruto."
"Sasuke and Naruto will come with me. The rest of you stay far away as reserves. Do not act without my order."
"Execute immediately!" Kageyama Kogetsu's tone was extremely serious.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
Hearing this, everyone bowed and flashed away, leaving only a few people in the blink of an eye.
"Kogetsu, why let Sasuke and Naruto fight but not me? That's unreasonable."
"It's too dangerous for them."
"Do you think I can't lift my staff anymore?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little angry, feeling underestimated.
Kageyama Kogetsu smiled and explained, "Don't misunderstand, Lord Third. Sasuke and Naruto are already very strong, stronger than you imagine."
"Konoha is full of talent now. If I still let you, the old Hokage, risk your life, wouldn't it make me, the current Hokage, and the young and middle-aged generations of the village look like failures?"
Naruto grinned and said, "Father is right. Grandpa Third, leave it to us."
The corner of Sasuke's mouth curled up slightly, and he said lightly, "That's right, Grandpa Third. Leave it to us."
Kakashi, Guy, Kurenai, and Asuma also spoke up to persuade him.
The anger in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart disappeared, replaced by relief. Just as he was about to speak, Obito Uchiha took a step forward and spoke sarcastically.
"How heartwarming. Then let me make it even more heartwarming for you. Don't cry from being moved."
As his voice fell, with a creak, the two coffin lids fell to the ground with a bang. Two figures walked out of the coffins, and a violent wind swept out, blowing away the dust...
One had black hair and wore red laminated armor, the other had white hair and wore blue laminated armor. Anyone who had seen the Hokage Rock and wasn't face-blind could recognize them.
"Lord First! Lord Second!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened, and he exclaimed with an ugly expression.
Obito Uchiha laughed sinisterly, "Hehehe... it is indeed your Konoha's First and Second Hokage."
"Catch up properly. No rush, there's plenty of time."
Madara Uchiha watched the reactions of the Konoha group with interest...
Kageyama Kogetsu frowned slightly, but quickly regained his calm.
"Those who desecrate the dead and toy with the deceased will not have a good end!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a dark face.
"Despicable guys, I'll teach you a good lesson!" Naruto frowned, looking angry.
"Two bastards who shame the Uchiha name. I will wash away the disgrace!" Sasuke said coldly.
"Izuna?"
Madara Uchiha carefully examined Sasuke's appearance and couldn't help but call out. He had lost interest in appreciating the reactions of the others.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha!" Sasuke emphasized with a displeased look.
Madara Uchiha came to his senses and smiled slightly. "That's right, Izuna has been dead for a long time."
"You just look like him. But I'm still willing to give you a chance."
"Come join us. The three of us Uchiha, old, middle-aged, and young, working together can definitely create a beautiful world without conflict forever!"
"Not interested," Sasuke refused without hesitation. "I will only fight for Father's ideals!"
Madara Uchiha laughed freely. "Well, forget it. If you insist on going down the wrong path alone, suit yourself."
"You're the ones on the wrong path. No, it's an evil path, a dead end!" Sasuke retorted disdainfully.
Madara Uchiha was getting angry and was about to explain his grand plan when he was interrupted by Obito Uchiha grumpily.
"Cut the crap. You're interrupting their reunion."
Obito Uchiha inserted two kunai with formula tags attached into the heads of Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, then formed hand seals to release their suppressed consciousness.
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju's lifeless eyes quickly became lively. They looked around, analyzing the situation.
Tobirama Senju was analyzing, while Hashirama Senju was simply looking.
"Madara!"
"Hashirama!"
