After walking out of the cave, Madara took a deep breath.
"The air of the Ninja World is still as refreshing as ever."
He walked a dozen meters along the cliff before suddenly accelerating into a sprint.
Then, he leaped forward and fell from the mountain peak.
A deafening sound, like a massive mountain striking a heavenly bell, echoed across the area. Even Black Zetsu, who remained inside the cave, could feel the entire cavern shake from the impact.
At the foot of the mountain, Madara landed with his knees slightly bent, creating a massive crater several meters deep.
After stepping out of the pit, he did not slow down. He immediately began rushing toward the location of the Shinobi Allied Forces.
"A massive Chakra... it's here!"
With Uchiha Madara's overwhelming Chakra completely exposed, even ordinary Shinobi without sensory abilities could feel the terrifying presence rapidly approaching.
The Sensor Ninja on the battlefield were even more affected. Their expressions changed the moment they detected that enormous Chakra.
"Are there still Shinobi in this world who possess such incredible Chakra?" Immortal Shima exclaimed.
"This is not good, little Jiraiya," Immortal Fukasaku said with a serious expression. "The Six Paths of Pain have just lost their ability to fight, and now another powerful Chakra has appeared. I hope this person is not our enemy."
"Stop saying things like that, father of my children!" Immortal Shima shouted unhappily.
The two elder toads immediately began arguing on Jiraiya's shoulders.
Jiraiya could only sigh helplessly.
The situation of the war had suddenly taken an unexpected turn.
Just moments ago, they had still been fighting against the Six Paths of Pain, but all six bodies had suddenly collapsed.
According to Hayashi's explanation, those six individuals were merely corpses controlled by Nagato from a distance.
Now that the Six Paths of Pain had fallen, it was highly likely that something had happened to Nagato.
Originally, Jiraiya believed that the scouts sent by the Shinobi Allied Forces had discovered Nagato's location and defeated him.
If that was true, then this war would have reached a turning point.
However, right after the Six Paths of Pain lost their combat ability, an unknown Shinobi with terrifying Chakra appeared and headed straight toward the battlefield.
The timing was simply too suspicious.
Just as Immortal Fukasaku had said, if this person was an enemy, the situation would become extremely troublesome.
Further away, Ōnoki's hands were already trembling.
"Everyone... retreat!"
He would never forget this Chakra for the rest of his life.
That man had completely changed his life.
However, this was a battlefield involving tens of thousands of Shinobi. Retreating was not something that could happen instantly just because of a single command.
Although Nagato's location was not very close to the battlefield, to Madara, who possessed overwhelming speed, that distance was meaningless.
Before Ōnoki's order could spread throughout the battlefield, a figure descended from the sky and slammed into the ground in the distance.
With Madara at the center, countless cracks spread outward, forming a giant web-like pattern across the earth.
"Shinobi Allied Forces."
Madara crossed his arms and looked down at the tens of thousands of Shinobi before him.
"Uchiha... Madara!"
Ōnoki's expression changed drastically as he shouted again.
"Everyone, retreat!"
But before his order could be carried out, Madara slowly inhaled.
His chest expanded as a massive amount of Chakra gathered inside his body.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
To Madara, this Fire Release was merely a simple test.
However, to the Shinobi Allied Forces, it was an overwhelming disaster.
The current Madara was not the same as the Edo Tensei Madara from another time.
He had been truly resurrected, regained his Rinnegan, and his strength had reached a completely different level.
In an instant, a massive sea of flames appeared before the Shinobi Allied Forces.
The flames stretched over two hundred meters, covering the battlefield like a burning wall.
"This is... the Uchiha's Fire Release!"
The overwhelming flames rushed toward the allied forces.
Facing such a terrifying technique, the Shinobi Allied Forces immediately reacted.
The Fifth Mizukage quickly organized more than one hundred Water Release users to stand at the front lines and unleash their techniques together.
Even then, they could only barely suppress the flames.
However, their efforts prevented the entire army from being reduced to ashes.
Madara paid no attention to their resistance.
To him, this was nothing more than a simple test of his Ninjutsu.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
As the battlefield became covered in smoke, Madara slowly began walking forward.
One step.
Then another.
His movements started extremely slowly.
The first step was shorter than that of an ordinary Ninja.
The second step matched the pace of a normal Shinobi.
The third step was already several times faster.
His speed continued increasing, transforming from slow movement into an unstoppable advance.
The rhythm was almost like a performance building toward its climax.
A moment later, a thunderous sound exploded across the battlefield.
Madara disappeared.
When he reappeared among the Shinobi Allied Forces, several Jonin were instantly thrown into the air by his movement.
As Madara landed, those Shinobi crashed heavily into the ground.
Their bodies struck the earth with several dull impacts before becoming motionless.
They had been defeated without even the ability to resist.
"Are you... ready to dance?"
"Madara has been resurrected."
Inside Konohagakure, four figures stood together.
They were Hayashi, Himeji, Kushina, and Mikoto.
"Are you going?" Mikoto asked.
"Yes."
Hayashi nodded, a trace of anticipation appearing in his eyes.
"I have been waiting for his resurrection for a long time."
With Madara's current strength, the Shinobi Allied Forces alone could not defeat him.
Hayashi had no choice but to intervene.
"As for Fugaku and the Gedo Statue, I will leave them to you."
Hayashi looked at Himeji and Kushina.
The combined strength of those two was even greater than his own, so he had no concerns about leaving Fugaku to them.
After finishing his words, Hayashi disappeared.
At that moment, on the battlefield, Madara was holding the Fourth Raikage by the neck.
Not far away stood the Third Hokage and the Third Tsuchikage.
Rasa and Guden had already fallen to the ground, their conditions unknown.
"Where is the Eight-Tails?" Madara asked.
A struggled to turn his head, unwilling anger flashing in his eyes.
After all, he had been defeated in a single move.
The difference between them was simply too great.
"If you do not tell me, I can still find the answer myself."
Madara raised his left hand, preparing to use the Human Path.
Suddenly, a lightning spear shot toward him.
Madara narrowed his eyes and moved aside.
Almost at the same time, a dark figure appeared beside him.
The figure passed by him at incredible speed, rescuing A from his grasp.
"Flying Thunder God Technique?"
Madara looked at the place where A had disappeared and slightly frowned.
The speed was surprisingly fast.
Even with his current Rinnegan, he had to acknowledge the opponent's incredible movement speed.
At that moment, Madara immediately raised his guard.
The figure flashed once again.
Madara and the newcomer exchanged a punch at the same time.
The force of their collision erupted across the battlefield.
Both figures were pushed back more than two hundred meters.
The person who had appeared before Madara was Uchiha Hayashi.
