"Indeed, Madara Uchiha was one of the two who, along with the First Hokage, ushered in the era of the ninja village. His strength is unfathomable, so he must have the confidence to say that."

"But Konoha isn't weak either!"

"Given today's lineups, it wouldn't be surprising if either side won."

"Wrong. In my opinion, Konoha can only win today."

"Oh, what's the basis for your statement?"

"See that guy? Lady Tsunade is his wife. That's not all. When Yi Da gets angry, even Madara Uchiha would have to kneel down."

"Brother, your insight is truly remarkable. I wholeheartedly agree with you."

Great minds think alike!

The surrounding discussions were endless, with no one realizing that this war was related to the fate of the ninja world. They were like spectators watching a play, finding the fighting uninteresting.

Upon hearing someone explain the relationship between Tsunade and Yi Shuihan, Madara Uchiha was somewhat worried. However, he felt much more at ease when he thought that he would obtain the Nine-Tails himself and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. At that time, even if Yi Shuihan intervened, it would be completely meaningless.

As a strong person, he must have his own pride. As long as he doesn't kill Tsunade, Yi Shuihan definitely won't make a move.

With this thought in mind, Madara Uchiha temporarily ignored Yi Shuihan.

Madara Uchiha then said a few more words, spouting grand principles like demanding Konoha hand over the Nine-Tails for the sake of the entire ninja world, but it was all utterly useless.

War inevitably broke out. A group of monsters who looked exactly alike, and who weren't even wearing clothes, made people feel a little embarrassed, and of course, a strange sense of disgust.

Of the 30, only 10 had firearms, while the other 20 were naked; the 20 naked soldiers were the ones leading the front lines.

"Today we can see how effective firearms are against a large ninja force."

Chapter 483, The Ninja with a Gun

"Holy crap, what is this...?"

Just when everyone thought that the Konoha side would be using ninjutsu indiscriminately, they were surprised to find that the Chunin all pulled out AK47 rifles and started firing wildly at the White Zetsu.

The Chunin's reaction speed is like that of a sharpshooter, and with so many White Zetsu, they can basically hit the target even with their eyes closed.

In an instant, the White Zetsu charging ahead fell down in swathes like wheat being harvested, creating a truly spectacular scene.

"Am I seeing things? This is Konoha? This is how ninjas fight? This is ridiculous! Ninjas are using guns."

A person from a small country stared blankly at the Konoha Chunin wielding an AK and acting erratically.

Konoha's move truly stunned everyone, but the White Zetsu were no pushovers either. With their sheer numbers, they charged right up to the Konoha ninja army.

If the people on Konoha were ordinary people at this time, they would definitely be slaughtered, but they are ninjas after all.

A skilled ninja who can turn his gun into a killing machine the moment he throws it away.

The two sides officially clashed. At this point, the White Zetsu had lost approximately 5 men, but still held a significant numerical advantage.

In addition, the 10 White Zetsu armed with guns also launched an offensive.

Unlike Konoha, the White Zetsu were not afraid of friendly fire. As long as they could kill ninjas, they were willing to sacrifice several White Zetsu. Therefore, even though the Konoha ninjas were on guard, they suffered many casualties in a short time.

"Let the Jonin take action! Let's go and meet the Akatsuki."

Seeing that although his side was able to hold off the White Zetsu army, the casualties were heavy, Minato Namikaze immediately made a decision: mutual destruction was definitely not what he wanted.

Ten thousand Jonin are far more powerful than Chunin. A single Jonin can basically hold off five or six White Zetsu. With this force joining the fray, the balance of victory immediately tilts towards Konoha.

However, those with a broad perspective generally know that the real battle has not yet begun; only a victory at the Kage level is a true victory.

"Why didn't we just send out a Kage-level fighter from the beginning? Why make it so big? What's the point?"

Yi Shuihan cursed inwardly as he secretly initiated the sacrifice, but this was also beneficial to him, so he remained silent.

"Let's proceed according to plan!"

As soon as Madara Uchiha finished speaking, Obito Uchiha vanished into nothingness, while the other Akatsuki members went to find their respective opponents.

Madara Uchiha alone drew more than half of Konoha's high-ranking firepower, 60 Kage-level figures, as well as Tsunade, the Third Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage.

"I never expected that there would still be someone like you in the Uchiha clan."

Despite facing so many powerful opponents, Madara Uchiha remained confident.

Itachi Uchiha stared at Madara Uchiha with an expressionless face, showing no emotion whatsoever, even though the man before him was a legendary figure of their Uchiha clan.

After being trained by Yi Shuihan, Itachi Uchiha's strength is now comparable to Madara Uchiha's, and his Sharingan has recently been upgraded to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Since your eyes have advanced to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, you must have a brother who has also suffered from the curse of the Sharingan. Come to me. Only by completing the Eye of the Moon Plan will the curse of the Sharingan disappear."

"The Sharingan is not cursed. I developed my eyes through my own training, and they have nothing to do with my brother."

Itachi Uchiha's reply was just this one sentence, which instantly stunned Madara Uchiha.

"Are you joking? The Sharingan is an eye that can only gain greater power when one's closest loved one dies. Since you have already evolved into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, you must have already seen that despairing reality."

The images of his brother and clan members dying flashed through Madara Uchiha's mind, and the power emanating from his Mangekyou Sharingan grew stronger and stronger.

It is indeed a kaleidoscope; Madara Uchiha's eyes are not his own now.

Madara Uchiha was indeed resurrected, and it wasn't through the Reincarnation technique. It's unclear what kind of spell he cast on Nagato, causing him to activate the Outer Path Samsara Rebirth Technique.

Moreover, Nagato is not dead yet; rather, Zetsu has temporarily extended his life through some means.

"The true evolution of the Sharingan requires mental strength."

Itachi Uchiha said dryly.

Madara Uchiha was annoyed by Itachi's answer, thinking that the other party was lying to him. After all, he believed that no one in the world knew more about the Sharingan than him.

"Fine, since you're so stubborn, then I'll show you what the real difference is."

Susanoo, and a fully formed Susanoo at that, a giant tens of meters tall, was so conspicuous in the center of the battlefield.

"Everyone who has seen this before, except for Hashirama, is dead. I hope you can play with me a little longer."

Hundreds of kunai imbued with special techniques formed a giant net that surrounded the giant. Then, Minato Namikaze's voice kept appearing around the giant, and every time he appeared, he would attack it with a Rasengan.

In less than 3 seconds, nearly a hundred attacks had ended, with explosions ringing out continuously.

"So strong, is this the current Hokage of Konoha?"

Seeing the giant reduced to its current dilapidated state without even a chance to react, everyone was amazed by Minato Namikaze's strength. Such a fast attack speed meant that very few could react in time, and even if they could, counterattacking would be extremely difficult.

"Your mastery of the second generation's Flying Thunder God Technique has surpassed his, but your attacks are too weak and useless against me."

The craters on the giant's body were restored at a speed visible to the naked eye, exactly the same as before, as if it had not been attacked at all.

"It seems that unless we confront him head-on with a powerful ninjutsu, there is no other way to defeat him."

Minato Namikaze's expression was solemn. Susanoo was exactly the type of creature he was not suited to fight, and his attacks were difficult to break through its defenses.

Of course, on the other hand, it would also be quite difficult for Madara Uchiha to attack Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, step back and let me deal with him."

"Tsunade, are you sure you can do it?"

"Teacher, you have to believe me. I'm much stronger than you think now."

Chapter 484, Unraveling the Secret of Black Zetsu

"The Art of the Wooden Man"

Without forming any hand seals, with just a gentle shout, a giant wooden figure, roughly the size of Susanoo, appeared in the air.

"Is this Wood Release?"

Madara Uchiha asked uncertainly. What appeared in front of him was indeed very similar to the Wood Release: Wood Human Technique in his memory, except that the Wood Human in his memory had a pair of wings.

The reason he was unsure was because he saw that Tsunade did not form any hand seals before the giant wooden figure appeared, and if it wasn't his imagination, he didn't sense any fluctuations in chakra.

"Just think of it as Wood Release."

Actually, it can be called Wood Release, but it's not pure Wood Release. Instead, it uses spiritual energy to replace chakra, achieving the same effect as using Wood Release.

The giant Susanoo drew its katana and slashed down with it. For such a massive body, this was an incredibly agile movement.

Tsunade controlled the wooden doll and easily dodged the slash. The ground where the slash struck cracked open, creating a large fissure hundreds of meters long that stretched to a distance.

Such power from a casual move made the eyelids of those around him twitch.

"As expected of the Susanoo that once defeated even a tailed beast, it is indeed powerful. The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is truly terrifyingly strong."

Although Madara Uchiha was powerful, he brought the power of the Sharingan to its limit. Coupled with his combat experience gained from countless battles, his combat strength was almost at its peak among the Iron rank below Bronze.

However, he was facing Tsunade, who had been given a power-up by Yi Shuihan, and it wasn't just any ordinary power-up.

Chakra's power is on a completely different level compared to spiritual energy. Tsunade's wooden doll may not look as imposing as the blue giant, but when it comes to actual combat, it's a completely different beast, incredibly fierce.

"How is this possible? Its strength and speed are far superior to Hashirama's wooden puppet."

Madara Uchiha was completely stunned and didn't even have a chance to fight back. He was forced to retreat steadily by the wooden puppet.

"No way? Madara Uchiha is being completely dominated by Tsunade, he seems to have no chance to fight back at all!"

"Perhaps he hasn't used his true abilities yet?"

"I don't think so. How could they possibly hold back at a time like this?"

The onlookers were shocked by Tsunade's power, and the Konoha side became incredibly energetic, causing the White Zetsu army to suffer a series of defeats.

Everyone's attention was focused on the battle between the two giants, and no one noticed that a masked figure had slowly made his way to the rear of Konoha.

"Mom, Granny Tsunade is amazing!"

Naruto, beaming with excitement, spoke to Kushina Uzumaki beside him.

"So this is where it is! I've been looking for it for ages!"

Suddenly, several chains shot out from the void, piercing through Kushina and Naruto.

"Has the Nine-Tails transferred to this brat?"

Obito Uchiha appeared from the void, accompanied by a huge sound. The Ten-Tails' body had already opened eight eyes, with only the last one yet to open.

"Oh no, Naruto and Kushina."

Sensing the chakra fluctuations coming from behind, Minato Namikaze's expression changed drastically, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Did you make it?"

Madara Uchiha suddenly spoke, and then his Susanoo disappeared, leaving Tsunade behind as he headed towards the Ten-Tails.

Tsunade wanted to give chase, but at that moment, a black sphere the size of a basketball suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield.

"True Earth Explosion Star"

The suction force that enveloped the entire battlefield was unstoppable by White Zetsu, Chunin, and Jonin; even Kage-level shinobi who were nearby were directly sucked into the air.

Tsunade controlled the wooden doll, spread her wings, and instead of fleeing, headed straight for the huge meteorite that was forming in the sky.

The wooden figure flew to the foot of the meteorite and then suddenly punched out, shattering the still-forming giant meteorite. The fragments fell to the ground like a meteor shower, creating a spectacular sight.

Because of the disappearance of the meteorite, many ninjas survived, and Tsunade looked at the sky with gratitude in her eyes.

"cough cough"

Inside an empty cave made of earth-style rock, Nagato coughed up a mouthful of blood when the meteorite was destroyed, and his already pale face became even paler.

"Nagato!"

Konan's eyes were filled with worry, and even more so with a deeply hidden sense of bewilderment. She knew that Nagato's life was nearing its end, and how could she go on living after Nagato died? What meaning would her life hold?

"I am fine."

Nagato raised his hand to comfort Konan, but his words were not convincing at all.

"It's almost time. Nagato, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Suddenly, a black humanoid upper body with only half a face appeared on the ground.

"Black Zetsu, what do you mean by this?"

Konan glared angrily at Black Zetsu, for it was he who had turned Nagato into the way he was now.

Black Zetsu ignored Konan and stared intently at Nagato.

Nagato seemed to sense something as well. After a moment of silence, he said in a hoarse voice, "After I die, do not make things difficult for Konan."

"Nagato? What are you talking about?"

Xiao Nan exclaimed in shock.
