In the blink of an eye, the entire chat group exploded.
Uchiha Izuna: Nii-san! Nii-san! Nii-san! What punishment did you draw? Can you tell me in advance?
Uchiha Madara: Isn't the Fourth Raikage about to receive his punishment publicly? Just wait—you'll see soon enough.
First Hokage Hashirama Senju: Sigh! I was actually looking forward to seeing you two duel... and this is what we get?
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi @Fourth Raikage A: What's the matter? No more jokes? I think now's the perfect time for one, no?
Second Hokage Tobirama Senju: So this is the same Fourth Raikage A who kept mocking us from Konoha? Weren't you just saying Madara should come for you the moment he's resurrected? Now that you have the chance to duel, why didn't you accept?
Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki: Raikage A, your choice was wise. Now clearly isn't the time to fight Madara.
Fourth Raikage A: Just tell me—what's the punishment? Dare to say it out loud?
Uchiha Madara: Oh? Impatient, are we? Hold tight—your punishment's about to begin. I guarantee it'll leave you in heaven and hell.
Soon, the three-minute countdown ended.
The previously paused footage of Ōnoki vanished, replaced by a vast, empty field.
The scroll trembled, then shot a golden beam toward the Hidden Cloud Village.
Raikage A was bathed in golden light, instantly vanishing from his office and reappearing in the empty field on-screen.
At that moment—
Everyone watching the feed saw a large, glowing message appear above the screen:
"Punishment for Fourth Raikage A is about to begin! Children, please watch under parental supervision!"
Then—
The punishment began.
Another person identical to Fourth Raikage A appeared before him...
Holding a giant, spinning spiked club.
Before anyone could react—
That copy of Raikage A lunged forward and unleashed the 100% Accuracy Thousand Years of Death…
Direct hit. Effect triggered.
"AAAAARRRGGHH!"
A blood-curdling scream echoed through the entire ninja world—and even into the Pure Land.
After taking the hit, Raikage A literally spun through the air like a top.
Group Chat
Uchiha Madara: Hahaha! Told you! Didn't I say he'd be left in heaven and hell? Not bad, right?
Uchiha Izuna: Nii-san! That punishment was amazing! But you were wrong about one thing.
Uchiha Madara: Oh? What did I get wrong?
Uchiha Izuna: He wasn't just left in heaven and hell—he flew too.
Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi: Hahahaha! I'm dying over here! Serves him right!
Second Hokage Tobirama Senju: But seriously… the 100% Accuracy Thousand Years of Death is pretty powerful, huh?
All across the group chat—
Countless people were laughing their heads off at Raikage A's expense.
Meanwhile, back in the Raikage's Office:
Raikage A had been teleported back.
He lay curled up on the ground, hands clutching his backside, mouth frothing at the corners.
Mabui panicked and rushed off to find medical ninja.
On-screen, the footage resumed:
"Just as Sasuke was about to give chase, Mizukage Mei launched a Lava Release attack to block him."
"After all, the Mist Village and Akatsuki were mortal enemies."
"Akatsuki had used genjutsu to manipulate the previous Mizukage, Yagura, plunging the Mist into a bloody reign of terror."
"Mei was here to settle that score."
"But at the moment Sasuke was overwhelmed, White Zetsu suddenly appeared."
"It absorbed Mei's chakra and transferred it to Sasuke, restoring him in an instant."
"Now, only the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki hadn't acted yet. He'd been holding back, afraid of throwing out his back again."
"But with Mei struggling and Sasuke rejuvenated, he had no choice."
Ōnoki: "So this brat took out Deidara, huh?"
Ōnoki: "We may not have any personal grudges, but everyone wants you dead. Goodbye."
"He launched the Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, and a sci-fi-esque cube instantly enveloped Sasuke."
"It was so fast that even the Sharingan couldn't keep up."
"As the smoke cleared, the cube was empty."
"Karin confirmed: Sasuke's chakra had completely disappeared."
Ōnoki (proudly): "Naturally. His entire body was disintegrated down to the molecular level!"
"But alas, this was Ōnoki's first failed Dust Release."
"Just as Sasuke was about to be disintegrated, Uchiha Obito used Kamui to pull him into another dimension."
"Only Kamui—or similar space-time jutsu—could've saved him from Dust Release."
"Immediately after, Obito, under the name Uchiha Madara, declared war on the Five Great Nations."
Obito: "Hand over the Eight and Nine-Tails… or face total destruction."
Viewers were shocked.
Some by the overwhelming power of Dust Release...
Others by how fast Sasuke had leveled up, his strength surging in such a short time.
It hadn't been long since they'd last seen the older Sasuke—
And yet, now he was already in a different league.
Scene Continues
"With war declared, all previous disputes vanished overnight."
"The Five Great Nations united for the first time, forming the largest ninja alliance in history to face this legendary threat."
"Thus began the Fourth Great Ninja War, and Uchiha Madara revealed his true form."
"This version of Madara was resurrected by Kabuto using the most advanced Edo Tensei technique."
"Everyone noticed something peculiar—on Madara's chest, there was a human-shaped tattoo."
"That tattoo looked very familiar—it was the face of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju."
The chat group erupted once more.
But the most explosive reaction didn't come from Hashirama himself—
It came from...
His wife, Uzumaki Mito.
Group Chat
Uzumaki Mito @Uchiha Madara: What the hell is wrong with you?! Why did you tattoo my husband's face on your chest?!
Uzumaki Mito @Uchiha Madara: That's disgusting! You actually tattooed my husband's face on your body?!
Uzumaki Mito @Uchiha Madara: Is this because I rejected you back in the day?! Are you trying to get revenge on me by defiling him?! If you've got a problem, come at me—why drag my husband into this?
Uzumaki Mito @Uchiha Madara: Say something! If you've got the guts to tattoo my husband, then say something, damn it!
Uchiha Madara @Hashirama: Hashirama! Control your wife! She's lost her mind!
Hashirama @Madara: Madara… I'm curious too. Why did you tattoo my face on your chest? Don't tell me…?
Madara's expression darkened.
"Crap. Did they figure it out?"
Just then, Uchiha Izuna spoke up:
Izuna @Hashirama: What are you all thinking?! Don't you remember the earlier scene where my Nii-san used Wood Release?
Izuna @Everyone: Back then, we didn't know how he could do it. Now we do!
Izuna: That wasn't a tattoo of Hashirama's face—it was a grafted cell cluster!
Izuna @Madara: Nii-san, even if you were going to tattoo someone, you'd tattoo my face, not Hashirama's, right?
Madara: Otōto, you're absolutely right. No one understands me like you do!
Everyone who had been confused earlier—
Now understood as the footage continued:
"Turns out, Madara had implanted Hashirama's cells into his body, allowing him to use Wood Release, a technique unique to Hashirama."
"As for Yamato's version of Wood Release? That was for planting trees. It doesn't count."
Meanwhile, in Konoha—deep in the ANBU Headquarters:
Yamato broke into a cold sweat, black lines forming on his forehead.
