Hearing the surprise and disbelief in Uchiha Madara's voice, Tao Yu smiled.

"I'm fairly confident in my strength. If you're interested, Brother Madara, we can spar sometime."

Uchiha Madara had plenty of good things in his possession, too.

In theory, he had the most comprehensive grasp of Yin-Yang Ninjutsu.

Black Zetsu had probably come up with it.

But Black Zetsu hadn't shown up yet, and Tao Yu didn't know what was going on with him.

"You want to spar with me? Hahaha, looks like I underestimated you."

Uchiha Madara's interest was piqued. After all, Tao Yu had seen his Tengai Shinsei.

And even after witnessing that, Tao Yu was still this confident. He really had underestimated him!

The blond Namikaze Minato and pipe-smoking Sarutobi Hiruzen were also secretly astonished. They began sizing Tao Yu up all over again.

You'd never have guessed!

Just who was this man?

Tao Yu replied naturally.

It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble if he could. After all, Saint Ou of Dilong City had come here.

It was even possible he'd come to Konoha in person to demonstrate Dilong City's might.
