Sasuke Uchiha burned his own brother alive.

For Ninja, killing is always simple; all it takes is one [Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique].

With a "thud," Uchiha Itachi's corpse was almost cooked. After adding three or five more Great Fireball, only a few bones remained that hadn't turned to ash.

Sasuke selected a few Teuchi them into beads as souvenirs, then patiently burned the rest into pure white ash using [Flame Style: Flame Snake Coil].

He then asked Naruto Uzumaki, "Naruto, I don't want to hear him spout those illogical and self-righteous arguments anymore. To prevent him from being Impure World Reincarnation, please scatter his ashes."

Naruto Uzumaki asked again, "Are you sure?"

Sasuke: "Confirmed."

"Okay." Naruto Uzumaki didn't hesitate at all and casually used Wind Release Ninjutsu.

[Wind Style: Tornado]

The whirlwind's destructive range was small, but its destructive power was immense. Its overall structure was thin and long, extending directly into the Stratosphere at an altitude of ten thousand meters, where Uchiha Itachi's ashes would be scattered by the wind.

A small number will fall to the ground and the ocean, but the vast majority will remain in the Stratosphere, accompanied by the wind forever, never to return to the earth.

As Uchiha Sasuke watched the white ashes rise with the wind, he murmured, "According to the Clan Leader Izumi, only by scattering his bones to ashes can he be worthy of his sins."

The boy's expression was slightly sad and somewhat conflicted.

When Kakashi Hatake and Naruto Uzumaki let go at the last moment, allowing him to kill Uchiha Itachi single-handedly, the overwhelming hatred that filled the boy's heart began to fade.

Like colorful seashells left on the beach after the tide recedes, the warmth and joy of the past resurface in my heart.

Uchiha Sasuke recalled the scenes of brotherly love and family harmony, his heart filled with longing and reluctance, and then he sighed deeply.

He felt he was already an adult, and could neither dwell on the past nor be satisfied with his successful revenge. He needed to pull himself together and help Uchiha Izumi and Shisui Uchiha Big Brother revitalize the Uchiha Clan.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Sasuke, "Naruto, Kakashi-sensei, where should we go to provide support next?"

Might Duy and his son Might Guy didn't need any support. While they were still trying to break Uchiha Itachi's control over Tsukuyomi in the Tsukuyomi Space, the father and son had already kicked the honest Kisame Hoshigaki to death.

It means literally to kick someone to death.

While the honest man was still diligently Hand Seals, Might Duy and Might Guy, this passionate father and son duo, opened the Sixth Gate, the Gate of View.

They were enveloped in green Chakra light and charged at Kisame Hoshigaki from the left and right sides respectively. Before he could react, each of them kicked him high into the air.

After a brief pause, Might Duy and Might Guy opened the Seventh Gate, the Gate of Wonder.

As the final hurdle Gate of Death, the strain on his body reached its limit, Might Guy began to sweat profusely, producing blue steam from the evaporating sweat.

Might Duy, Impure World Reincarnation, did not sweat, but fragments of the Impure World Reincarnation appeared, which were then torn apart by the erupting Chakra, forming a hazy mist that exuded the aura of a ghostly underworld.

Kisame Hoshigaki held his Samehada in front of him as a defense, but Might Duy punched him, sending him flying 90 degrees and making him scream. Samehada was activated on the spot in pain, letting out a squeaking scream.

Kisame Hoshigaki was also jolted stiff, his hands involuntarily rising high, exposing his vital chest.

With a more solid foundation, greater strength, and faster speed Might Guy seized the opportunity to close in and punch Kisame Hoshigaki in the chest, causing a large gash on his back and even breaking his ribs through his skin.

Before blood could spurt from Kisame's mouth, Might Duy and his son Might Guy simultaneously unleashed their kicks, sweeping across the enemy's chest and lower abdomen respectively, cleaving him in two like giant axes.

Kisame Hoshigaki, known as the "Tailless Tailed Beast," hadn't even had a chance to unleash his astonishing Chakra reserves, nor could he utter a single sentence like "Who's going to fix the dam?" before he was brutally killed by the legs of two of the strongest Taijutsu Ninja.

This is the inevitable fate of Ninja when their intelligence is completely controlled by the enemy and they are targeted by specific opponents.

After reuniting with Might and his son, Team 7, after a brief discussion, decided to go and support the main battlefield, which was the designated battlefield to confront Madara Uchiha.

From the very beginning of the plan, the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, pointed out that there was no possibility of ambushing Madara Uchiha, because that was impossible.

Madara Uchiha was certainly proud, even arrogant, but he was by no means a careless Ninja.

In fact, the chaos of the Sengoku period ingrained caution in the very bones of every surviving Ninja; caution was an ingrained habit.

Every meal and drink requires three different checks. When sleeping, the bed must be thoroughly examined. Even when using the toilet, the toilet, floor, and walls must be carefully checked first.

When they are in the wild, they will activate their Sharingan at all times, focusing their attention on observing every detail.

Those Ninja who couldn't adapt to this environment all perished in the endless stream of assassinations.

Therefore, the Allied Shinobi Forces abandoned their valley ambush against Madara Uchiha and Zetsu, and instead engaged him head-on in open terrain.

To combat this monster whose power was beyond estimation, the Allied Shinobi Forces also prepared a formidable lineup.

Leading the charge were four fearless reanimated Impure World Reincarnation users: Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage; Senju Fanma, the Second Hokage; Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage.

The second group consists of four of the current Five Kage: the Fourth Raikage A, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki, the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara.

To be honest, even the Fourth Raikage and his men were terrified by such a lineup, which was enough to wipe out Iwagakure or Kumogakure.

Until Madara Uchiha, transformed into Otsutsuki, flew into their field of vision.

Madara Uchiha's appearance had changed so much that he gave the Four Kage and the four Hokage an extremely strange feeling, as if they had personally witnessed the Sage of Six Paths descending to earth.

The inhuman yet sacred aura emanating from the Ōtsutsuki Clan was so overwhelming that even the eight top-tier Ninja were stunned.

Madara Uchiha was quite surprised to see that there were only eight Ninja in front of him.

He asked Hashirama Senju, who was leading the group, "I didn't expect you to not send Ninja Army to attack me. Don't you underestimate me?"

Hashirama Senju shook his head and said, "Madara, even before you were resurrected, you could use Wood Release and massive repulsive Ninjutsu. Ninja below the Kage Level are useless against you, so there's no need to let them sacrifice themselves in vain."

Madara Uchiha laughed, "But none of you Kage are strong enough to fight me. Where is the Fifth Hokage Shazo? Why doesn't he come out to see me?"

Tobirama Senju replied, "He's going to deal with the Impure World Reincarnation Nagato and Obito Uchiha. He'll defeat those two troublesome guys first, and then concentrate all his forces to deal with you."

Madara Uchiha's emotions were more stable than ever before. Faced with Tobirama Senju's provocation, he smiled, raised the Black Staff in his hand, and gently tapped it at Tobirama Senju.

With a muffled "thud," Tobirama Senju flew backward like a ball, Shattering and disintegrating in mid-air.

No one saw clearly how he was attacked.

Madara Uchiha laughed, "So it was a tactical arrangement. I knew it! Now that I've been resurrected and regained my Rinnegan, how dare Shazo underestimate me?"

"A very interesting and useful tactic. Does this tactic have a name?"

Minato Namikaze stepped forward. "The Fifth Hokage said that this tactic is called 'Tian Ji’s Horse Race'."

Madara Uchiha asked curiously, "Why is it called that?"

Minato replied, "Because there's a story behind it—"

Minato vividly recounted the story of Tian Ji’s Horse Race, Madara Uchiha listened with great interest and patience, as if he were unaware that the Fourth Hokage was deliberately stalling for time.

When Impure World Reincarnation Shattering fragments of the Second Hokage were reassembled from the Edo Tensei, Minato's story came to an end. "Upper horse against middle horse, middle horse against lower horse, lower horse against upper horse, winning two out of three rounds, achieving overall victory."

Madara Uchiha nodded. "A good story, good tactics, the Fifth Hokage was a very good leader."

"What a pity, everything in the Ninja World will change after I am resurrected."

"The Shinobi Village Era is coming to an end; your struggles are futile."

"Do you really think that by gathering eight top-tier Kage, you can hold back Madara Uchiha?"

"Do you still believe that my current power is comparable to that of the Fifth Hokage?"

"Um?"

Madara Uchiha raised his head and looked at the white shockwave that suddenly appeared in the distance. It was the [Shinra Tensei] unleashed by Nagato, Impure World Reincarnation. Clearly, a battle had already begun.

He muttered, "The fighting has already started over there; it seems I need to speed things up here too."

"Although I really want to have a real fight with Shazo, compared to the eternal peace of the Ninja World, that's just a small personal desire of mine, not worth mentioning."

Hashirama Senju his hands together. "Ban! We will stop your reckless actions!"

Three loud whooshing sounds rang out, one from the Second Hokage and the other from the Fourth Hokage throwing Kunai, and the other from the Fourth Raikage charging forward, his body crackling with Inazuma.

The Third Hokage quickly Hand Seals, unleashing a powerful Ninjutsu he had been preparing for a long time. He actually formed the hand seals for five Ninjutsu in one set of hand seals.

[Fire Style: Fire Dragon Bullet Technique]

[Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique]

[Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique]

[Wind Style: Wind Dragon Bullet Technique]

[Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Bullet Technique]

Five different dragon-shaped B-rank Ninjutsu with different attributes were intertwined under Hiruzen Sarutobi's control, borrowing each other's power to form a more powerful super hybrid Ninjutsu.

[Five Elements: Great Consecutive Bullet Technique]

Although it lost its cool dragon-like appearance, its power increased to an astonishing level, even attracting the attention of Madara Uchiha.

"Oh, that's unexpected. You Monkey actually have some strength."

Madara Uchiha made no further moves; his eyes flashed, and a fully formed Susanoo rose from the ground, using its terrifying defensive power to block the combined attack of five elemental Ninjutsu.

Although Susanoo's defenses were impenetrable, the surging impact caused Susanoo lose its footing and stagger back two steps.

Madara Uchiha then discovered that Susanoo's foot was stuck in the sand and couldn't be pulled out.

[Magnet Style: Flowing Sand Waterfall]

The Susanoo so large that even the Fifth Kazekage, using all his strength, could only restrain it from the knees down.

Gaara shouted, "Quick! I can't hold on for much longer!"

"I'm here!" Hashirama Senju clasped his hands together, conjuring a Buddha Form with Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands Hashirama Senju. He pounced forward, his thousands of giant hands either grabbing or pounding, trying to Susanoo to the ground.

The Second Hokage and Fourth Hokage appeared on Susanoo's neck, and the two of them joined forces to perform the [Flying Thunder God: Instant Flash Void].

They exchanged positions dozens of times in an instant, causing violent spatial tremors and an immeasurable spatial collapse that dragged Susanoo's head backward.

This is not a movement of matter, but Susanoo has shrunk, making it an irresistible force.

With the combined force of the three, Susanoo n't hold on any longer and began to fall backward, making its massive knees protrude.

The Fourth Raikage aimed for his left knee, unleashing a deafening roar of thunder from his entire body as he screamed, "

Break it!

[Hell Stab - Four Violet Fists]

Boom-!

With a deafening roar, a terrible crack appeared on Susanoo's left knee, the fissure almost breaking half of the leg.

But the Fourth Raikage wasn't faring much better; his left hand, which he used for attacking, hung limply, and his four fingers were even twisted and bent by the recoil.

At that moment, the Fifth Mizukage bypassed the Fourth Raikage and spat out a thick, orange liquid into the crack.

[Lava Release: Lava Release: Melting Apparition Technique]

The liquid poured into the crack in Susanoo's knee, dissolving it into a large hole almost instantly, emitting thick smoke and a pungent odor.

A few seconds later, Susanoo's left leg broke, leaving it crippled and unable to stand on one leg.

Without needing a reminder, the Third Tsuchikage was already in position, his hands forming the hand seals he had already completed, and he launched his technique at the head of Susanoo and the Madara Uchiha inside.

[Dust Release: Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique]

That's right, the Four Kage and the four Hokage didn't want to waste time waiting for other Ninja and the Fifth Hokage's support. They were proud Kage, and they wanted to kill Madara Uchiha with their own strength.

A rectangular transparent frame enveloped Madara Uchiha. The Dust Release, capable of disintegrating all things, was about to be activated. All eight Kage felt victory was assured and were filled with joy.

Just then, Madara Uchiha sighed in disappointment, "Sigh, I stood still and let you do whatever you wanted, and this is the result? This is it?"

Madara Uchiha glanced at Ōnoki and said, "Shorty, you're quite resilient. But I'm no longer the Madara Uchiha I once was. I've reached the same level as the Sage of Six Paths, Six Paths Madara."

"A mere Dust Release is utterly worthless before my eyes."

The transparent frame suddenly distorted, then was completely restored to Chakra and absorbed by Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

The Chakra then flowed to the severed left leg, and the lower leg instantly grew back.

All eight shadows were dumbfounded.
