The Atmosphere Instantly Became Charged

"Of course we know you're Uchiha Madara..." Killer B's face twitched. The boss had suddenly appeared without even a greeting. The pressure was enormous. He quietly asked Naruto, "This is getting tricky. Our intelligence was wrong. I remember the command headquarters reported that someone saw Uchiha Madara appear on the front lines. He even attacked the Third Division, causing massive casualties."

Naruto looked astonished. "When did that information come in? Why didn't I know about it?"

Killer B: "..."

"Uncle B, how can you be like this?" Naruto, fearless as a newborn calf, immediately became dissatisfied.
