Feeling his body returning to normal, Madara was momentarily stunned. The age of ninjas was over.
At his level, learning Ninjutsu wasn't so important anymore.
To be exact, it wasn't just him. Shanks was the same. Having reached this level, many things that required skill could be obtained directly through power.
Besides, who says great power isn't a type of skill?
"Next is... to see this new age."
"Ginkaku and Kinkaku? Two small fries. How could Senju Tobirama die at the hands of such characters?"
A look of mockery flashed across Madara's face. Though he looked down on Tobirama, Madara didn't underestimate Tobirama's talent and strength at all.
He was someone who stood at the peak of the Ninjutsu world in that era, at the peak of "skill." Even if Madara wanted to kill Tobirama, it would be almost impossible.
Yes, almost impossible. Madara couldn't stop Tobirama from running away.
Although he didn't know what happened back then, in Madara's view, Tobirama dying at the hands of Ginkaku and Kinkaku was quite strange.
At this time, on another battlefield, a squad from the Raikage village also encountered Ginkaku and Kinkaku. This squad was led by the Two-Tails Jinchuriki Yugito and was a top-tier team from the Raikage village.
When Yugito saw Ginkaku and Kinkaku, she was also slightly taken aback.
"...You're Ginkaku and Kinkaku, who ambushed the Second Raikage-sama! I didn't expect it to be you!"
"Hehehe, to think there are still younger ninjas who remember our names. Not bad."
"Having killed the Second Raikage, Kumogakure will naturally always remember you. But don't worry, I'll bring even your Edo Tensei bodies back to Kumogakure to face justice."
Blue and black flames rose from Yugito's body, that was the Two-Tails' Chakra.
Yugito was once known as the person closest to a perfect Jinchuriki, and the only perfect Jinchuriki was Killer Bee.
But in this era, simply becoming a perfect Jinchuriki wasn't enough.
That was only equivalent to completely mastering the "Devil Fruit" power. How to further develop the Tailed Beast's power was the goal of the Jinchuriki.
In Kumogakure, Gyuki had already turned his power into a Devil Fruit, and now it was the Two-Tails' turn.
As a large village, it was impossible for two Jinchuriki to take the same path.
"A perfect Jinchuriki form!!"
"Such strong Chakra control."
"Perfect? It's a realm beyond perfect. So-called perfection is just complete mastery. The Tailed Beast's power can become even stronger."
"Tailed Beast Ninja Art. Blue Fire!"
The Chakra on Yugito's body directly ignited the ground, and blue flames tore towards Ginkaku and Kinkaku. The ground touched by the blue flames was also dyed blue.
The moment Yugito attacked, the other ninjas behind her also moved, using their abilities to attack Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
They were all ninjas from Kumogakure and naturally filled with hatred towards Ginkaku and Kinkaku.
But Ginkaku and Kinkaku weren't ordinary people either. They possessed the blood of the Sage of Six Paths, as well as the Sage of Six Paths' treasures, and also possessed Nine-Tails Chakra.
It could be said that these two brothers' strength was definitely not weak in this era. They couldn't be dealt with by any third-rate ninja.
"Hehehe, we've been looked down on!"
Ginkaku and Kinkaku avoided Yugito's attack, and orange-red Nine-Tails Chakra appeared on their bodies. At the same time, the Sage of Six Paths' treasures also appeared in Ginkaku and Kinkaku's hands.
"Looking down on you? You're underestimating the power of the new era too much."
"Rhino. Great Crash!"
A Kumogakure ninja fell from the sky and instantly transformed into a rhino. His muscles expanded to the limit, and the distorted air appeared above the grayish-blue skin. His whole body seemed to be on fire.
The terrifying impact came from the sky, and the air and blue flames on the ground were torn apart by this enormous force.
Ginkaku and Kinkaku's expressions changed again.
But it wasn't just one ninja attacking them.
Kumogakure's most elite forces were all on the Red Earth Continent, but don't forget, Mabui had long arranged other paths for the village and had contact with Shanks.
So naturally some of the strong were left behind.
These people were enough to deal with Ginkaku and Kinkaku, and it could even be said that no accidents were possible.
And Kabuto, of course, understood this. Ginkaku and Kinkaku were just a gift he was giving to Kumogakure.
Of course, the real gift wasn't Ginkaku and Kinkaku, but the Sage of Six Paths' tools on their bodies.
So appearing on the battlefield wasn't just Ginkaku and Kinkaku, but also the First Raikage.
Kabuto wasn't someone who could command a war, but he understood people's hearts and knew how to deal with them.
Many of the strong people revived by Kabuto also understood Kabuto's power and were even charmed by Kabuto's spirit and methods, because Kabuto clearly had the power to control them, but didn't use it directly.
Kabuto left them some dignity.
Even the First Raikage "A" had nothing to say about Kabuto's actions. Kabuto's courtesy, spirit, and wisdom made him willingly complete this deal.
He sent Ginkaku and Kinkaku, who killed the Second Raikage, to the Kumogakure forces. At the same time, he could also see how much the younger generation of Kumogakure had grown.
At this time, the First Raikage had been silently watching the battlefield from afar. Seeing Ginkaku and Kinkaku being suppressed without any ability to fight back, a smile appeared on his face.
"To think that this new era would produce so many heroic figures. Kabuto's spirit and methods are indeed extraordinary."
The First Raikage sighed, if Kabuto had been born in their era, with his spirit and methods, he would have certainly made the other Kages submit.
But in this new era, Kabuto could only humbly say that he was just an insignificant character.
It wasn't that Kabuto wasn't outstanding, but that this era was too outstanding.
"Is that so? I'm quite curious about who this Kabuto you're talking about is."
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the Raikage.
The moment he heard this voice, Chakra instinctively appeared on the Raikage's body. Blue lightning covered his whole body, and his right hand instantly formed a hand blade, stabbing toward the back.
"Bang!"
There was no intense battle as imagined, and no powerful impact erupted.
The palm covered in blue lightning was instantly suppressed the moment it came into contact with Madara's hand.
The next moment, a palm rested on the First Raikage's shoulder, and all the Chakra in his body was suppressed.
A gentle breeze blew, and Madara's long hair was blown up by the wind. There was no Sharingan in his eyes, only ordinary black pupils.
Yes, only ordinary black pupils.
Even Obito and Black Zetsu didn't notice this abnormality. Without the Sharingan, Madara could actually use Susanoo.
And now, seeing the Madara in front of him, the First Raikage felt an extremely terrifying feeling.
The Madara standing in front of him was even more terrifying and powerful than before.
Like a high mountain, no, like a volcano, he directly suppressed him just by relying on his aura, even making it difficult for him to breathe.
How could there be such a terrifying pressure, even more terrifying than the Tailed Beasts!! How could Madara be so powerful?
"Impossible... absolutely impossible, who exactly are you?"
The First Raikage trembled, looking at the Madara in front of him in disbelief.
He didn't believe that this was Madara. Madara was from their era, so how could he be so young?
But the clothes he was wearing were indeed from that era.
"Uchiha Madara."
Madara said calmly.
"Don't worry, I, Uchiha Madara, wouldn't go so far as to attack these younger generation. I'm here just for the Nine-Tails Chakra."
Madara said calmly. Of course, he wasn't just here for the Nine-Tails Chakra. It would also be good to get some useful information from the First Raikage.
"If you're just here for the Nine-Tails Chakra, why look for me?"
"Naturally, I want to ask about your plans."
"I'm sorry, but I was summoned by Edo Tensei. I can't say anything about this."
After the First Raikage finished speaking, a wisp of white natural energy emerged from his body. Then, a small white snake gathered on the First Raikage's shoulder.
The white snake even had black-rimmed glasses, just like Kabuto's glasses. This was indeed Kabuto's method.
And the person Madara was looking for wasn't the First Raikage, but Kabuto.
"Is that Uchiha Madara?"
The moment Kabuto saw Madara, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Madara wasn't an Edo Tensei body.
"Wait... this power..."
However, the next moment, cold sweat dripped down Kabuto's forehead. The little snake on the First Raikage's shoulder began to tremble.
"Conqueror's Haki... the power of Conqueror's Haki, how is that possible!!"
"How can you use Conqueror's, and such powerful..."
Cold sweat dripped down Kabuto's face. No, what kind of monster did Gato's allies create? This kind of powerful Conqueror's was second only to Shanks.
How could Uchiha Madara possibly have this power?
"What is it?"
"Impossible, the appearance of Conqueror's is because of Shanks, how could you..."
"I never said that I don't know Shanks."
Madara had a displeased look on his face. Couldn't these people think that he cultivated Conqueror's Haki himself? Okay, that wasn't really the case either.
But Shanks wasn't even present, and he was still being overshadowed by Shanks. That feeling was indeed very unpleasant.
"You know Shanks."
Kabuto was silent for a moment after hearing what Madara said.
Madara didn't seem to be lying, and this power had already proven many things. The Madara in front of him should also have his own plans.
"Am I now qualified to trade with you?"
Madara continued coldly.
"What can you give us?"
"It depends on what you want. With my strength, there are many things I can do."
Madara was extremely self-confident. He had nothing, only this strength, but that was enough.
"Uchiha Madara, this is the new era. On this battlefield, even with Conqueror's Haki, there aren't many things you can do."
"Is that so?"
Madara looked up at the sky. He didn't know when, but dark clouds had filled the sky, gathering a lot of natural energy, and there were even several terrifying Sage Art attacks appearing in the sky.
"If that's the case, then let me show you what this old man can do!"
Madara's figure disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air.
Madara folded his arms and stepped into the sky with his feet.
As white marks appeared in the sky, Madara also stretched out his right hand towards the sky. His voice erupted like a rumbling bell.
"Get Lost!"
With this roar, the terrifying momentum and accumulated pressure all erupted. The dark clouds in the sky shattered, and those several gathered Senjutsu attacks instantly dissipated. There were even two black shadows falling from the sky.
"Boom!!"
Along with Madara's voice, black and red lightning smashed down from the sky. The entire battlefield was shrouded in a terrifying pressure.
In the Kumogakure ninja force, all the Marine had fainted, and even some Chunin had fallen to the ground.
Everyone on the battlefield looked at the black shadow in the sky. Even the Sages in the distance looked over with horrified expressions.
The aura comparable to an ancient beast came, and even the Senjutsu Chakra on the Sages trembled uncontrollably.
"Who!!"
"How could such a monster appear."
"That weapon, it's that monster's weapon, how is it possible."
"How can the human world have such a terrifying monster."
The Sages trembled. They looked at Madara, and Madara took his katana.
The moment he held the katana, all the death aura disappeared, and it truly became an ordinary katana.
It was just that the twisted will on the blade made people feel cold in their hearts.
Madara descended from the sky. He looked at the sky, his eyebrows slightly frowned.
The dark clouds in the sky were even thicker, and black and red lightning rolled like dragons. The pressure of Conqueror's Haki became even heavier.
The Chakra on the Sages still in the sky was directly shattered, and they were forcibly suppressed from the sky by Madara.
"You're standing too high, everyone!"
Madara stood in the center of the battlefield and put his katana back into its sheath.
His voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it, especially those Sages who were suppressed from the sky by Madara. When they heard Madara's words, they felt a sense of humiliation rising from their hearts.
The Senjutsu Chakra on several Sages erupted again, and the will of the Sage World descended from the void, blessing them.
The strength of these several Sages soared in an instant.
"You're courting death!!"
"Arrogant mortal!!"
Wrapped in Senjutsu Chakra, several Sages flew at low altitude. The forest on the ground was torn apart by the violent Chakra. The terrifying power, combined with this powerful Chakra.
These several Sages...
"Too weak."
Madara stood in the center. With Observation Haki unleashed, he could see everything on the battlefield clearly.
"Weak..."
"Too weak!!"
The first Sage didn't see how Madara appeared in front of him. The next moment, a knee strike hit him.
All the Chakra in his body shattered, and the huge force pierced through his body. Then, his body flew out like a kite with a broken string.
The next moment, Madara turned and drew his sword, the blade light and his long hair drawing an arc in mid-air. A blade light hundreds of meters long exploded, and blood splattered.
Senjutsu, Sage... hidden in the blade light.
"So weak, is this..."
"The new era?"
