Seeing Madara Uchiha looking at him, Shin chuckled lightly and greeted him.
“Madara, it’s been a long time.”
Hashirama Senju was bewildered. ‘Shin Uzumaki know Madara??’
He had learned some information about Shin Uzumaki from Hiruzen. Madara had already died before Shin was born…
Madara had told Hashirama about the Eye of the Moon Plan earlier, but he hadn’t revealed everything, such as the matter of his faked death—
—So Hashirama Senju still believed Madara Uchiha had died after their final battle at the Valley of the End.
“Shin Uzumaki, why was I revived in this state? Shouldn’t you give me an explanation??”
A cold light glinted in Madara Uchiha’s eyes.
“You should ask Obito that question. Do you think I’m targeting you? You think too highly of yourself—”
Shin sneered.
If he really wanted to deal with Madara Uchiha, he had hundreds of ways to ensure Madara wouldn’t even have a chance to be revived.
“OBITO??”
Madara Uchiha looked towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in the far distance—or rather—the soon-to-be-revived Ten-Tails.
His face darkened.
Madara Uchiha realized the small trick he had used to control Obito had already been removed by Obito himself.
The Forbidden Individual Curse Tag, this was Madara Uchiha’s method of controlling Obito.
Obito couldn’t remove it himself—
—He didn’t know who had helped Obito!
Shin Uzumaki?? Unlikely…
Looking at Shin Uzumaki, Madara Uchiha didn’t think it was Shin who had helped Obito.
Actually, it was Oro-Kabuto. It should have been Obito using Kakashi to break the curse, but now it had been done by Oro-Kabuto.
“Feeling a headache?” Shin asked Madara Uchiha with a smile.
“HEADACHE?”
Madara Uchiha sneered dismissively.
No matter how much Obito grew, in Madara Uchiha’s eyes, he would always be a little brat who couldn’t grow up. ‘You think breaking my technique means you can escape my control? Delusional…’
Madara Uchiha hadn’t just prepared one method—he had other means. He wasn’t afraid of Obito.
Right now, the one he was most wary of wasn’t Obito, nor his old rival Hashirama Senju, but Shin Uzumaki.
———
“How do you two know each other?”
After being bewildered for a long time, Hashirama Senju finally couldn’t help but ask how they knew each other.
Madara Uchiha glanced at Hashirama but didn’t offer any explanation. Instead, he launched a Fire Release jutsu—Majestic Destroyer Flame—at Hashirama.
The attack also enveloped Shin. He was definitely doing this on purpose…
“…” Shin remained expressionless. The flames were split apart just as they were about to reach him, completely unable to affect him in any way—
“Madara, your tricks are very weak…” Shin said calmly.
Hashirama Senju also used Wood Release to block Madara Uchiha’s attack and engaged Madara in Taijutsu.
Madara Uchiha had no time to answer Shin now—he had to be cautious when fighting Hashirama Senju.
———
“Tsunade-neechan, aren’t you going to help?” Hinata asked Tsunade.
“No need. Madara Uchiha is no match for Grandfather.” Tsunade’s tone was quite confident.
As it stood, Madara Uchiha’s strength was completely disadvantaged; he was currently being suppressed.
“<Susanoo!>”
Madara Uchiha shouted lightly. A Blue Susanoo stood tall, its immense power awe-inspiring—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
—Hashirama Senju was not to be outdone. The Wooden Golem clashed with the Susanoo. A Wood Dragon coiled around the Wooden Golem, roaring at the Susanoo.
“Hashirama Senju vs. Madara Uchiha… This is a grand spectacle.” Shin chuckled.
Orochimaru stood in the distance, slightly dazed. This power was a bit beyond his imagination. Then Orochimaru’s gaze turned to Shin.
Only from Shin Uzumaki had Orochimaru seen such power, and that was decades ago.
How strong was Shin Uzumaki now??
Orochimaru was very curious about this, but he was certain that Shin Uzumaki’s strength was definitely much stronger than before…
———
Everyone else on the battlefield deliberately avoided the clash between these two. Anyone who approached would only face death.
Sasuke Uchiha hadn’t died, but caught in the middle of Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju’s battle, he could only tremble and try to survive.
Though both were Perfect Susanoo, the power they unleashed was completely different. Sasuke Uchiha’s Susanoo, compared to Madara Uchiha’s, was like a younger brother.
They had only fought for a few minutes, but the earth had already been torn apart.
A canyon appeared because of their battle…
A single battle could change the terrain…
Madara Uchiha was completely suppressed. There was no way around it—the Wooden Golem and Wood Dragon were two against one. Even the Perfect Susanoo couldn’t hold out.
Especially since the Wood Dragon could absorb chakra. Fortunately, it was Edo Tensei, with infinite chakra to squander. Otherwise, Madara Uchiha’s situation would be even more embarrassing.
“Looks like I have to use the Rinnegan…”
Madara Uchiha’s eyes changed, evolving from the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan to the Rinnegan. His aura rose another notch.
“Edo Tensei can also use the Rinnegan?” Mikoto was somewhat surprised.
“Don’t be surprised. Edo Tensei is the most BUG-ridden ninjutsu I’ve ever seen.” Shin wasn’t surprised at all. This forbidden jutsu—Edo Tensei—had many bugs.
When Madara Uchiha died, he was clearly in an old, dying state. Yet, after being revived by Edo Tensei, he was in his prime—
—Crucially, his eyes were gone, yet he could still use the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan.
“THIS IS…?”
Hashirama Senju’s face showed surprise, his expression gradually turning grave.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this should be the legendary Rinnegan. Hashirama Senju had also seen it in records.
“<Tengai Shinsei!>”
After activating the Rinnegan, Madara Uchiha couldn’t wait to use his ultimate move. As Madara Uchiha formed hand seals, the Susanoo also followed suit.
Soon, a large meteor fell from the sky, its shadow casting a desperate gloom.
The Five Kage, who had been fighting the Edo Tensei army, stopped, looking up at the sky in a daze.
“….” Ōnoki looked at the falling giant meteor in disbelief.
“SO SCARY!” Hanabi clutched Shin’s arm tightly in fear. Only by Shin’s side could Hanabi feel safe.
“It’s just a meteor. Is there a reason to be afraid?” Shin couldn’t help but say to Hanabi.
With a sword in hand, Shin could directly slice this falling meteor apart.
Compared to Shin and his group’s calmness—the Allied Shinobi Forces were in complete chaos. Even the White Zetsu army was now obediently watching the massive meteor falling from the sky.
