Kazama had already infused a wisp of Jōren Yōka (Purging Lotus Demon Flame) into Yakushi Kabuto's body.
"Those burned by Jōren Yōka become fire slaves, completely under my control. Even though you've lost your free will, I'll say it anyway—you lost!"
Looking at the dazed Kabuto, Kazama ordered him to dispel Edo Tensei.
Then, he reduced Kabuto to nothingness.
"Hope you can be a better person in your next life."
With those words, Kazama immediately rushed back to the Shinobi Allied Forces' battlefield.
While Edo Tensei had been undone, Uchiha Madara was an exception.
"Kazama is truly the savior of the entire shinobi world!"
Seeing the Edo Tensei souls return to the afterlife, Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim.
She'd already heard from the Fourth Raikage that Kazama had gone to confront Yakushi Kabuto, the caster of Edo Tensei.
Now that the technique was undone, it was clear Kazama had defeated him.
At that moment, Tsunade and the other Five Kage turned their attention to Uchiha Madara, whose form was slowly fading in the sky.
In their earlier battle, the five of them had been completely overwhelmed by Madara.
Now, seeing Edo Tensei undone and Madara about to vanish, the Five Kage let out a collective sigh of relief.
"Madara! Your strength is undeniable. Even the five of us together were no match for you. But the Shinobi Allied Forces have someone even stronger than you, so your defeat is certain!"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Madara let out a cold sneer.
"All you did was defeat the caster of Edo Tensei, and you're already this proud? You Five Kage are truly frogs in a well!"
As he spoke, Madara began forming hand seals.
"Let me make this clear—no one in this world can stand against me. Edo Tensei release!"
With the completion of his seals, Madara's fading body fully restored itself.
"Edo Tensei has only one flaw: if the reanimated know the technique's seals, they can break free completely. Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku!"
Madara unleashed a massive fire technique, aiming it at the Five Kage and the Shinobi Allied Forces behind them.
"Suiton!"
Terumī Mei hurriedly tried to counter with a water technique.
But after her earlier battle with Madara, her chakra was nearly depleted, and her Suiton failed.
"Damn it!"
Seeing Mei unable to muster a defense, Tsunade and the others grew desperate.
Their own chakra reserves were almost gone.
Against an ordinary fire technique, they might've been able to dodge.
But Madara's Gōka Mekkyaku was too vast, completely surrounding the Five Kage.
"Is this the end?"
Even ninja as powerful as the Five Kage couldn't help but let out helpless sighs.
Just when they thought death was certain, a figure suddenly dashed into the heart of Madara's Gōka Mekkyaku and absorbed the entire fire technique.
Ding! Successfully absorbed S-rank Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku. Congratulations, Host, you've obtained Ultra S-rank Katon: Gōka Messhitsu no Jutsu!
"To think there's someone in the Shinobi Allied Forces who can absorb ninjutsu!"
Madara, seeing his Gōka Mekkyaku completely consumed, was visibly shocked.
"Kazama!"
