White snow fell.
Amidst the frigid atmosphere, the snowflakes seemed to grow larger.
A cold wind howled past.
In an instant, Tsunade saw Naruto, who was unconscious on the side, and a look of reluctance and sadness appeared on her face.
But in an instant, this expression disappeared from her face, replaced by a look of anxiety and gravity!
She first instantly summoned several small slugs, then immediately had them attach themselves to Naruto's body, trying to sustain his life.
Only then did she look up at the three above, slightly gritting her teeth.
The worst-case scenario had finally happened!
This Five Kage Summit of theirs had not only failed to stop the enemy's progress, but had even allowed the enemy to complete the plundering of the Nine-Tails right before everyone's eyes...
For the Kage, who harbored the intention of defeating the enemy, this was undoubtedly a great humiliation.
But now, it was not the time to consider humiliation.
They had to stop them!
This Ten-Tails,
Just the aura emanating from its body was extremely unsettling.
Not to mention the three standing atop it.
One was Madara, who had once controlled the Nine-Tails and attacked Konoha, the number one madman of the Shinobi World.
If not for Hashirama stopping him, he would have already overturned Konoha...
One was Obito, who according to Jiraiya's intelligence, was the one who single-handedly planned the Tailed Beast capture operation...
One was Sasuke, who had carried out the Tailed Beast plundering and personally completed the revival of the Ten-Tails!
Three such individuals,
Any one of them appearing alone would already be an immense danger!
But now,
They had gathered together.
Everyone was silent, but the atmosphere grew increasingly heavy.
In the sky,
Dark clouds pressed down, threatening to crush the city.
Finally,
After a moment,
Madara, standing atop the Ten-Tails, spoke calmly.
He looked down from above with an indifferent gaze, examining them like a god, and said:
"Oh,"
"The Four Kage, who once fought each other to the death,"
"Have actually stood on the same united front again...?"
"It seems,"
"Only when facing the threat of death can humanity briefly set aside hatred and prejudice and achieve unity."
Madara's words fell, echoing all around.
Everyone's expressions remained grave.
But no one spoke.
After all,
The fact was indeed as Madara had said...
If not for facing such an immense threat, it would have been basically impossible for the Four Kage to sit at the same conference table, let alone fight side by side.
...However, it was a pity.
Madara's gaze was calm like an ancient well, still speaking calmly:
"The base nature of humanity cannot be changed."
"As long as this structure of the Shinobi World exists, it will forever bring endless war and pain."
"Decades ago,"
"Hashirama made the wrong decision."
"Today, I, Uchiha Madara... will break this structure!"
As his words fell,
Suddenly, his gaze flickered slightly.
The next moment,
The Ten-Tails below suddenly opened its pitch-black, abyssal maw!
Immediately after,
Boundless Chakra condensed like an ocean, and in an instant, transformed into a giant, dark red sphere!!
"!!!?"
"What—!?"
"Th-this... this feeling is... a Bijudama!!?"
The four Kage and others below saw this and instantly shrank their pupils, their expressions drastically changing!!
They never imagined,
This Ten-Tails before them would directly unleash its ultimate move right off the bat!!
And moreover,
The speed at which it condensed Chakra was so fast!!
Rumble....
As the Ten-Tails' Bijudama condensed, the surrounding space seemed to be affected, continuously shaking!!
At this moment,
Everyone felt an inexplicable fear imposed upon their bodies!!
This is... the power of the Ten-Tails?!!
There was no time to think further. The samurai of the Land of Iron scattered in all directions, fleeing as if from doomsday.
And the four Kage and their guards naturally also prepared to act.
But at this moment,
The Bijudama had already condensed successfully.
Boom!!!
Blood-red light radiated in all directions, the Bijudama violently shot out, directly and unerringly smashing towards the Four Kage and the others!!
Bang!!
The explosion was like a sun rising from the flat ground, mercilessly destroying everything around, blasting it to ashes!!!!
Whether it was the speed or the breadth of the explosion, it far exceeded anything they had seen before!!
"Pfft!!"
"Cough argh!!!!!"
Countless samurai of the Land of Iron who had not reacted in time perished in screams under the bombardment of this Bijudama.
And at this moment,
Although the Four Kage and their guards had escaped the range of the bombardment, they had already been affected by the shockwave and were forced to scatter in all directions, looking extremely disheveled.
And at this moment,
On top of the Ten-Tails,
Seeing this scene, Madara's mind was not on them.
In his eyes,
The Four Kage were like ants.
What human would care about the existence of ants.
Now,
Since the Ten-Tails was already complete,
He naturally wanted to find a suitable opportunity for Black Zetsu to sneak attack Sasuke, control his body, and complete the Rinne Rebirth.
This way,
The subsequent plan could proceed step by step.
However,
Now there seemed to be a situation,
Sasuke's attention did not seem to be on the Four Kage below; instead, his expression was serious, his face tense, as if he was standing ready for something...?
In this situation,
It would be almost impossible for Black Zetsu to complete a sneak attack unexpectedly.
After all,
Even if Black Zetsu was fast, once discovered by Sasuke, he could use Shinra Tensei with a single thought to blast him away.
And once this plan was exposed, it would be much more difficult to implement again.
It wasn't that he feared Sasuke's strength,
But because he currently controlled the Ten-Tails.
Although unwilling to admit it,
Madara understood that the core of the current plan was still Sasuke.
Only when he let his guard down,
Would it be the perfect opportunity for Black Zetsu to strike.
However,
Madara, planning this in his heart, did not know,
That at this very moment,
In Sasuke's mind beside him, a familiar yet unfamiliar voice had suddenly appeared.
For this reason,
He remained tense and ready.
Because this voice...
Was precisely the one who had once snapped his Kusanagi Sword and started him on the path to the Rinnegan —
Kyo!!
