Amegakure Village's Angel: ?
Doujin Artist: What's up, Konan-nee? Why the sudden question mark?
Amegakure Village's Angel: Uchiha Madara and Nagato's group are clashing. [Image]
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Looks like it. Even the table got smashed.
Doujin Artist: Why, though? At a time , they're fighting each other? I don't get it! Does Madara still think Anzen-san is on his side?
This is an Actor: No, Kabuto has already told him everything. It's just that Uchiha Madara is extremely confident in himself.
Curly-haired Guy: Extremely confident? You mean...
This is an Actor: Yeah. He believes he can easily defeat me on his own. If that happens, the seven tailed beasts I've gathered will naturally become his. As for the Five Kage and Pain, they're nothing but obstacles to his Eye of the Moon Plan.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: So he decided to strike first?
Doujin Artist: Wow, Madara is so arrogant!
This is an Actor: Well, he has the right to be. After all, he was once at the top of the ninja world.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Hmph, was being the key word.
Konan scoffed. To her, no one in the ninja world could compare to her Anzen.
At this moment, the once overbearing Uchiha Madara finally met his match—his own clan's descendant, Uchiha Shisui.
"You brat, what kind of technique is that?" Madara frowned at the bone-like mask covering Shisui's face.
Ever since this younger Uchiha put on that strange mask, his strength had skyrocketed. Even for Madara, dealing with him was becoming difficult.
"That's called Hollowfication, Madara-san," Yakushi Kabuto answered with a smirk. "To be honest, this is something Aizen developed. And under him, there are quite a lot of subordinates with this ability."
Madara's pupils shrank, and for the first time, his expression turned serious.
Before he could react, Shisui closed the distance in an instant. His Chunin blade swung down.
A deafening explosion echoed through the hall as the entire right side of the building collapsed. Thick dust and debris filled the air.
"You're really something, brat," Madara's voice came through the smoke. "If we're talking purely about swordsmanship, I, Uchiha Madara, acknowledge you as the strongest!"
As the dust settled, Madara's figure became visible again, looking a bit worse for wear.
His dark red armor was cracked, and a long slash ran from his right shoulder down to his abdomen.
Behind him, a massive, seemingly endless chasm stretched out.
Even the Five Kage, including Tsunade, were completely shocked by the sheer destruction caused by a single slash from Shisui.
And this wasn't even a charged-up attack—just a casual swing!
"Are you still going to continue?" Shisui's voice was cold, with a sharp metallic edge to it.
"Do you even need to ask?" Uchiha Madara grinned, the tomoe in his blood-red eyes spinning wildly. "It's rare for something to catch my interest. There's no way I'm stopping now."
Bright blue chakra surged out, wrapping Uchiha Madara's entire body. Excited, he was about to unleash his full-body Susano'o.
But just then, a rough, aged voice suddenly rang out. "That's enough. Stop right there."
Out of nowhere, a figure wearing a silver-white cloak appeared between Shisui and Madara. The cloak covered their head and face, so no one could see who it was.
The way this figure showed up was almost too strange. Neither Shisui, Madara, nor even the Five Kage noticed how they moved.
Konan felt the same way. She hadn't expected anyone to interfere at this moment. She turned her head to glance at Aizen, only to see him still looking calm, as if he had already predicted this.
The monitors suddenly gave off a strange noise.
Konan quickly looked back at the screen and saw the mysterious figure's right hand start to glow with a bright white light.
All of a sudden, oval-shaped stone pillars burst from the ground in every direction.
As if answering the glow from the figure's hand, the stone pillars lit up with strange lines of light. These lines connected the pillars together, forming a thin, glowing barrier.
Konan looked surprised and was just about to study it more carefully when — "Snap!" — the screen went black.
Amegakure Village's Angel: Anzen-san, was this part of your plan too?
Konan still felt a little lost, like watching a TV show that cuts off right at the most exciting part.
This is an Actor: Ah, everything is under control.
Amegakure Village's Angel: But the screen's black now. We can't see anything.
Doujin Artist: Wait... are you saying someone noticed your surveillance and even countered it? That's crazy!
This is an Actor: It's only at this level. If he couldn't handle my surveillance, that would be more surprising.
Curly-haired Guy: No way, normal people wouldn't stand a chance against that. Even Uchiha Madara didn't notice anything. Just who has that much power?
Shark-Faced_Guy: I think I've seen someone like that in Lord Aizen's memories. It was just a quick flash, but that person even noticed your base is in the Pure Land?
Amegakure Village's Angel: Oh, is it the same person who rescued Danzo and Orochimaru?
This is an Actor: Yep. But actually, it's not that he figured out my base is in the Pure Land. I just never bothered to hide it from him when I set it up there. After all, he's someone who already lives in the Pure Land.
Scarlet Lotus Fairy: ?
Skirt-Flipping Maniac: Someone who lives in the Pure Land? Isn't it supposed to be just wandering souls there?
This is an Actor: Normally, yes. But he's special. Even after dying and entering the Pure Land, he never lost his consciousness.
Amegakure Village's Angel: There's actually someone like that in the ninja world? Could it be...
This is an Actor: Yes, the legendary Rikudou Sennin.
