"These will be enough. Don't erase their consciousness."
As Ning Feng spoke, a cold, ruthless glint flashed through his eyes.
"I wonder how those shinobi from Iwagakure and Kumogakure will feel… when they see their former veterans standing before them."
"Heh… Feng-sama truly knows how to break people psychologically."
Orochimaru licked his lips, clearly delighted.
This tactic would make the enemy hesitate.
After all, those resurrected shinobi—
Were once their own comrades.
But the Edo Tensei warriors were under Orochimaru's control.
They wouldn't hesitate.
And while the enemy faltered—
He would gladly slaughter them one by one.
"Something about this feels off…"
Ning Feng slowly walked to the edge of the tower, overlooking the entirety of Amegakure.
This war felt different.
Last time, it had been a three-way alliance targeting him.
But this time…
Kumogakure and Iwagakure seemed ready to wage total war.
—
"Madara-sama's first wave has already reached the Amegakure battlefield!"
"Kumogakure's second division has arrived at the second battlefield near Konoha!"
"Iwagakure's first division has also reached the Amegakure front!"
Standing atop a stone pillar, Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes as he listened to the reports.
The first clashes had already begun.
But…
Both Konoha and Amegakure had responded faster than expected.
"Hmph… it seems Konoha is no longer the village that relied solely on Hashirama."
Madara chuckled lightly and glanced at Ōnoki.
"Who is the current Hokage?"
"The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato."
Ōnoki replied, his face dark.
Standing beside Madara always dragged him back to those humiliating days—
When he and the Second Tsuchikage had been utterly suppressed.
A memory he'd rather forget.
"Namikaze… never heard of that clan."
Madara frowned slightly and turned to the Raikage.
"It's not a notable clan. Minato is an exception."
A shrugged.
He had fought Minato before—
Back when they were both just jōnin.
Now they were both Kage.
But even he wasn't sure how strong Minato had become.
"Interesting… I'm looking forward to meeting him."
Madara smiled faintly.
In his eyes—
Even the current Five Kage were nothing more than juniors.
Even at their peaks—
They were like children playing games.
Because he—
Had already stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world long ago.
And now—
With enhanced Hashirama cells coursing through him—
He was even stronger than before.
"Truly worthy of Madara-sama…"
From the shadows, Uchiha Obito recalled his former teacher, Minato, with a hint of respect.
Even as enemies—
Minato remained a brilliant and formidable shinobi.
But in Obito's heart—
Madara stood higher still.
Almost like a god.
Black Zetsu suddenly emerged from the ground.
"Konoha and Amegakure's defenses are holding quite well."
"It won't be easy to break through anytime soon…"
Obito let out a disdainful snort beneath his mask.
"Other than Ning Feng in Amegakure and Minato in Konoha—what do they even have?"
"And we still can't break them?"
"Konoha has quite a number of elite jōnin leading their forces to resist our White Zetsu army."
