Chapter 265 Edo Tensei Madara Intercepts Hokage Madara!
"Rinnegan — Amegakure —"
The amusement and disdain in Madara's eyes vanished instantly, and he abruptly stood up from the stone seat, clearly unable to remain seated any longer.
It's important to understand that the Rinnegan is not only the absolute core of the Eye of the Moon Project.
Reincarnation was a necessary condition for him to get rid of this impure body and be reborn in the present world.
If it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Madara Uchiha slowly exhaled, then decisively ordered, "Zetsu! Prepare to depart immediately! We must stop them. Rinnegan—there can be no mishaps!"
"grown ups!"
Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu's body trembled, and he couldn't help but call out.
Immediately, a hint of hesitation and worry flashed in his eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he mustered his courage and cautiously probed, "I understand the importance of the Rinnegan, but—are we really confident in dealing with you, who descended from the dream?"
Seeing that Madara Uchiha remained silent, Black Zetsu forced himself to continue, "After all—in that dream, he surpassed Hashirama Senju and became Hokage. Anyway, he couldn't stay there—"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp shout suddenly rang out.
"Shut up!"
Madara Uchiha abruptly interrupted Black Zetsu, his brows furrowing sharply, and an uncontrollable rage flashing across his face.
That damned idiot, how dare he doubt that he's inferior to that guy in the dream?!
Madara Uchiha stared intently at Black Zetsu.
"What do you know?!"
"The position of Hokage originally belonged to me. I was too lazy to fight with that idiot Hashirama, so I gave it to him as a favor."
"It's never been that I couldn't win against him, you better understand that!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward, and a terrifying pressure emanated from his body without reservation!
Black Zetsu felt an overwhelming pressure rushing towards him, his chest tightened, and he involuntarily shrank his neck.
However, even under Madara Uchiha's terrifying rage and oppressive aura, a hint of doubt still flickered in his eyes.
Seeing that Black Zetsu still didn't seem completely convinced, Madara Uchiha forcibly suppressed his anger and let out a disdainful snort.
"Hmph—that guy in the dream? The only reason he became Hokage was because Izuna was still alive in that fake dream."
When his younger brother was mentioned, his eyes dimmed for a moment, but quickly regained their sharpness.
"My important family members are still alive; I'm just clinging to those naive and childish fantasies."
"How could someone who believes in bonds and whose mind is filled with unrealistic fantasies possibly possess true, ultimate power? How could he possibly compare to my magnanimity?!"
A barrage of sharp and stern words poured out, and even he himself was completely convinced by them.
After a moment, he gradually regained his composure and was too lazy to waste any more words with Black Zetsu.
He glanced coldly at Black Zetsu, his voice returning to its icy calm.
"So, don't let me hear this kind of ignorant questioning again."
Having said that, Madara Uchiha turned and strode towards the cave exit, ordering in a deep voice, "Now, set off immediately and intercept him!"
"I will personally destroy that guy and make sure the Rinnegan is completely safe!"
"Then you'll realize how ridiculous your current thoughts are!"
Before he finished speaking, his figure had already transformed into a red blur, rushing out of the cave first.
Since Madara Uchiha had already said that, Black Zetsu didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly followed him out of the cave.
On the other side, along the forest path leading from the Land of Fire to the Land of Rain, three figures were hurrying along.
Danzo Shimura led the way, his chest still aching slightly, as his previously badly injured ribs did not seem to have fully returned to their original position.
But at this moment, they dared not slack off in the slightest, wishing they could grow three heads and six arms to speed up their journey.
Not far behind him, Hokage Madara followed calmly, his expression indifferent.
Kakashi followed cautiously at the rear, constantly alert to any movement ahead.
-
Along the way, Hokage Madara questioned Danzo about the current situation in Konoha and the entire ninja world. Danzo was sweating profusely, fearing that he might not answer adequately, and dared not conceal anything, so he told Danzo all the information he knew as objectively as possible.
Even if the truth about some issues was quite unfavorable to him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and confess truthfully.
He already knew the consequences of lying.
He knew very well that under the gaze of Madara Uchiha's Sharingan, which seemed to see through everything, any lie would be futile and dangerous.
Not to mention that Kakashi was always following him around like a shadow.
And so, as Madara continued on his journey, he kept asking questions, which Danzo answered one by one.
As the question-and-answer session continued, Hokage Madara gradually gained a general understanding of the intricacies of this unfamiliar world.
During the journey, when Hokage Madara suddenly asked about a crucial detail, Danzo visibly stiffened.
He hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "The first Hokage of this world was Lord Hashirama Senju."
"Was the First Hokage Hashirama?"
Upon hearing this, Madara's eyes flashed with surprise, then his brows furrowed and his voice suddenly turned cold.
"And what about me?"
Danzo's eyes flickered, and he carefully chose his words, speaking slowly: "You—you have, of course, been secretly overseeing the ninja world, strategizing and guiding the development of everything."
Danzo spoke with extreme caution, attempting to portray Madara Uchiha of this world as a mastermind hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything.
However, Madara, the Hokage, was a man of great stature, and he instantly discerned the flattery and probing in Madara's words.
He scoffed and interrupted, "To have stooped so low as to be a stinking rat hiding in a gutter, how laughable!"
As Danzo added more details intermittently, Madara's brows furrowed more and more.
Although Danzo's words were inevitably embellished, he had already clarified the basic framework.
This is a world completely different from what he knew, a world that has led to an unknown future at a crossroads.
Madara, the Hokage, gave a low hum, his eyes becoming complicated.
The Leaf Village in this world has indeed become so corrupt and degenerate that it is despicable.
Although he had never agreed with Hashirama's ideals, he never expected that Konoha would degenerate to such a state under Hashirama's leadership!
A barely perceptible hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes.
As expected, Hashirama was completely wrong—only my path, Uchiha Madara's, is correct.
My will is the true will of fire suited to Konoha!
Behind them, Kakashi listened intently to every word of their conversation, while also carefully observing Madara Uchiha's every move.
However, even at this moment, Madara Uchiha never turned around to look at him.
This complete disregard put Kakashi under even more pressure, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.
In his eyes, I'm probably no different from a pebble on the roadside.
As it turned out, Kakashi's intuition was correct.
Madara, the Hokage, didn't care about Kakashi behind him at all.
He's just a Jonin with meager chakra, nothing more than an ant, not worth his time at all.
Moreover, no matter what, Kakashi is a ninja of Konoha, and as the Hokage, he has no reason to deliberately make things difficult for a junior.
Just as the three were traveling and each had their own thoughts, Hokage Madara seemed to suddenly sense something and stopped without warning!
His previously composed and calm demeanor suddenly tensed, his pupils narrowed sharply, and his sharp gaze was fixed on the shadow of a towering tree not far ahead.
Madara's sudden and unusual action startled both Danzo and Kakashi.
Danzo abruptly stopped in his tracks, following Hokage Madara's gaze with intense focus, his eyes filled with confusion and tension: "Who is it? Who could possibly command such seriousness from Lord Madara?!"
At that very moment, as if in response to Madara Uchiha's gaze, a tall, imposing dark red figure emerged from the shadows of the trees around the corner ahead, blocking the three's path.
The man exuded a chilling aura of death, clad in dark red armor, his sharply defined, cold face almost identical to that of the Hokage Madara.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
The breeze in the forest suddenly stopped, and the chirping of insects and birds that had been rising and falling all disappeared.
When Danzo and Kakashi saw the face of the person blocking their way, their eyes widened in surprise.
That wild, flowing black hair, that cold, sculpted face, that familiar dark red Sengoku armor—Uchiha Madara?!
Another Uchiha Madara?!
"No—impossible!"
Danzo's voice trembled as he gasped in disbelief.
His single eye was fixed on the newcomer's face when he suddenly noticed that the other person's skin was covered with ominous gray-white cracks, and his pupils contracted sharply.
"It's...it's Impure World Reincarnation!"
In an instant, the two Uchiha Madaras faced each other across a distance of dozens of meters, silently confronting each other.
One was made of flesh and blood, with an upright posture and eyes full of disdain.
One was a dead body, immortal and indestructible, with cold eyes that revealed murderous intent.
Neither of them spoke first, nor did they make any rash moves, yet it was as if two immense, world-destroying forces collided in the air.
"Click!"
With a bang, an invisible force exploded between the two like lightning, causing the pebbles on the ground beneath their feet to tremble slightly.
The trees around them, which had been still, suddenly seemed to be blown by an invisible hurricane, their branches and leaves swaying wildly and making a rustling sound!
Standing at the intersection of these two terrifying auras, Danzo and Kakashi felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their chests, making it extremely difficult to breathe, and cold sweat poured down their foreheads.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +600!]
Hokage Madara squinted at the Edo Tensei Madara opposite him, and a certain guess in his heart was confirmed at this moment.
His expression grew increasingly icy, and a condescending, scrutinizing light shone in his crimson Sharingan eyes.
Madara's gaze lingered for a moment on Madara's body, which was covered in gray cracks. The contempt and mockery in Madara's eyes deepened, and there was even a hint of pity in his sneer.
"snort----"
The silence was broken by a cold snort from Madara Hokage, who said, "What do you think it is? Just a stinking rat clinging to life by forbidden techniques."
He shook his head slightly, his expression full of disappointment and sarcasm.
"How pathetic—Uchiha Madara! It's bad enough that he didn't become Hokage, but he's actually reduced to relying on such evil techniques just to survive?"
"Look at your inhuman, grotesque appearance! You've utterly disgraced the Uchiha clan!"
"----you!!"
The face of the impure Madara on the opposite side immediately turned extremely ugly, his cracked face slightly distorted with rage.
"shut up!"
"Arrogant brat! You only became Hokage by sheer luck!"
"Luck?"
Madara, the Hokage, seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He crossed his arms and became even more arrogant.
"What a high-sounding excuse!"
"Then let me ask you, why don't you become Hokage?"
"Instead, we're supposed to hide in the shadows like a rat in a sewer, manipulating these shady things?"
"Is it that you don't want to?"
"Or... you simply can't do it?!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
"Arrogant!"
Edo Madara roared, his anger burning fiercely within him.
"What I seek is eternal peace that transcends national borders and benefits the entire ninja world!"
"This is the ultimate plan that can truly solve the problem once and for all!"
"Unlike you, who's only interested in those petty power games in the village!"
"How could someone as narrow-minded as you possibly understand my character and aspirations?!"
Upon hearing this, Madara's disdain deepened. He scoffed contemptuously, "A rat hiding in a gutter—I certainly don't understand the magnanimity of a rat!"
"I have no interest in understanding it!"
In the shadows in the distance, Hei Jue cried out in alarm, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
"It's over————"
He could clearly sense that Madara Uchiha's body was trembling uncontrollably.
The obsession and pride that had been suppressed for decades were completely ignited by the other party's few words, and the anger was rapidly rising to the point of explosion.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Black Zetsu have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Black Zetsu thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
When you look at Madara Uchiha alone, you don't really notice how these two Madaras get together—why are their words so venomous?!
He had originally intended to sneak away while the two were exchanging words, but now he was locked in place by their murderous aura and dared not move an inch.
On the other side, Danzo and Kakashi were already dumbfounded as they witnessed the two adults arguing.
Danzo had originally hoped that the two adults would meet and discuss some profound topics about power and the Uchiha clan.
They might even reach some kind of consensus and jointly plan for the entire ninja world.
He never expected the situation to turn out this way.
This was completely different from the style of dialogue between powerful figures that he had imagined.
Kakashi was also stunned, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly involuntarily.
Although he knew that Madara Uchiha had a strong and domineering personality, he never expected that even when the target was another version of himself, this legendary ninja demon would still be extremely aggressive, even more so than when facing others alone.
In just a few words, Kakashi gained a profound and entirely new understanding of Madara Uchiha's eccentric and fierce nature.
At this moment, the atmosphere between the two Uchiha Madaras was beyond just being tense.
The air between the two only needs a tiny spark to ignite a massive explosion!
"court death!!!"
Edo Tensei Madara has finally unleashed his full power!
He roared, unable to bear the other party's repeated taunts any longer.
Before he finished speaking, a powerful surge of chakra erupted from his body and soared into the sky!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
However, before Edo Tensei Madara could continue his actions, Hokage Madara suddenly spoke with a cold laugh.
He gave the other person a disdainful look, as if to say, "You still have the nerve to be angry?" His voice was even more annoyed than the other person's: "What, you're angry now?!"
"You're the one who created the Rinnegan, aren't you?!"
"What exactly did you do to Hashirama! You rat from the gutter—"
'
As Madara Hokage finished speaking, his words were deafening. He clapped his hands and roared, "Get the hell back to the Pure Land!!"
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!"
With a deafening roar, Madara Hokage spewed out a torrent of flames!
"Arrogant!!"
Seeing his opponent strike first, Edo Tensei Madara was enraged beyond measure. His pride made him unwilling to back down, and almost simultaneously he roared, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!!"
Rumble!!!
In an instant, two blazing seas of fire, like two roaring fire dragons, erupted from opposite ends of the road and collided violently in mid-air with a devastating force!
In an instant, blinding flames ignited, and the terrifying heat instantly vaporized the surrounding vegetation, leaving the ground scorched and cracked.
The deafening explosion swept in all directions, and the devastating shockwave raged outwards in a ring.
Seeing the situation was dire, Black Zetsu, who was watching from afar, trembled with fear and quickly burrowed underground to avoid the terrifying aftershocks.
Danzo and Kakashi, who were closer, were violently thrown away by the terrifying shockwave.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +700!]
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
However, this seemingly evenly matched fire-style clash lasted less than a few seconds before a clear winner emerged.
Edo Tensei Madara was ultimately just a body resurrected through Edo Tensei, although his chakra could be rapidly replenished, almost equivalent to having unlimited chakra.
However, neither the scale nor the quality of the chakra could compare to the terrifying chakra of Madara Uchiha at his peak.
With this shift in power, Madara's Fire Release technique is clearly superior!
In just five seconds, the Great Fire Extinction spewed by Edo Madara was torn apart, scattered, and completely swallowed up by the even more powerful sea of fire on the other side!
Meanwhile, the scorching flames of Hokage Madara, undiminished in their intensity, continued to surge towards Edo Madara like a raging torrent, engulfing him.
"W-what?!"
Seeing his strongest fire jutsu being instantly crushed, Edo Madara's pupils constricted, and he let out a low growl of disbelief.
He never expected that he would lose so decisively in a contest of the same techniques.
In the critical moment, Madara, relying on his rich combat instincts, stomped his feet on the ground and shot into the air like a bullet.
boom!!
The blazing, incomparably intense wave of fire almost grazed the soles of the filthy feet as it roared past!
Even though he narrowly escaped the direct impact, the terrifying heat and blast still burned and charred the hem of his clothes, leaving him covered in soot and looking utterly disheveled.
The blazing flames gradually dissipated, and the intense heat in the air slowly subsided.
In the center of the battlefield, Hokage Madara still stood proudly in place.
The aftershocks of the previous earth-shattering explosion failed to leave even the slightest mark on him, not even the hem of his clothes was scorched.
After a long while, Hokage Madara crossed his arms indifferently, his gaze turning to the Edo Madara who had just landed in a disheveled state not far away.
Seeing the shocked and resentful look on the other's face, Madara let out a low sneer, and then slowly uttered two words: "Trash."
