Was Uchiha Madara strong? Of course he was. Even before obtaining Hashirama Cells, he had already been second only to Hashirama. The overlord of the Ninja World, the man who gave even Hashirama headaches—how could he not be strong? If Uchiha Madara had truly been weak, then he would have stood alongside the God of Shinobi.

Madara had also conducted quite a few studies in the past and had indeed worked out a path into the Six Paths realm. However, not only did it require all the Tailed Beasts to be gathered, it also placed demands on his body. A dead person could not become one of the Six Paths.

"Six Paths Mode?" Although Uchiha Madara knew the mysterious man's strength was beyond his ability to resist, he still wanted to test the power of the Six Paths. After all, that was the realm he intended to enter as well.
