"Everyone, be careful! Madara's Sharingan is different from ours, the Uchiha! His eyes... possess extraordinarily powerful Eye Power!"
Uchiha Fugaku immediately covered Jiraiya and shouted.
Jiraiya retreated to the back of the group.
Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward.

The four Shadow Clones and the original body formed hand seals once more.
"Fire Release!"
"Water Release!"
"Wind Release!"
"Lightning Release!"
"Earth Release!"
