The Fourth Shinobi World War's second half (part two)

The Third Raikage, known as the "Strongest Shield," was shattered by a single punch from the Fifth Hokage Shazo.

He showed no signs of recovery whatsoever.

Kaguya Kimimaro stared blankly at the scattered Impure World Reincarnation of Edo Tensei and the White Zetsu that had suddenly appeared, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.

The Fifth Hokage's punches were just too violent.

Shazo dispersed the Truth-Seeking Orb in his hand, patted Kimimaro on the shoulder, and said, "Clean this up, I'm going to check out other battlefields."

Kimimaro shuddered. "Yes! Fifth Hokage -sama! I'll take care of it!"

Shazo flew away satisfied, but after he had gone some distance, he muttered to himself, "Why is Madara Uchiha so slow?"

"Even if I were to go easy on him, I couldn't possibly hold down the Fourth Hokage and extract the Nine-Tails myself."

"Madara Uchiha, you fucking hurry up, hurry up!"

The golden light generated by Shazo's flight intensified, illuminating half the sky, and the sonic booms he emitted were even louder, as if he were moving at an even faster speed than before.

In fact, he strictly limited his speed to the speed of sound, which allowed him to continuously generate sonic booms and slowed his speed down by several times.

This should be enough to urge Madara Uchiha to speed up, right?

Damn it!

Orochimaru arranged the Impure World Reincarnation Six Paths Obito into Eighteen Poses, divided him into Eight Pieces, and carefully sealed them one by one.

This seal is unusual; it's a special seal used to seize control of [Impure World Reincarnation].

Ever since he improved the Impure World Reincarnation technique and made it his trump card, Orochimaru had been pondering a question: what if he encountered someone else using the Impure World Reincarnation?

Defeating and sealing was Orochimaru's solution, and even the sealing technique was designed and practiced by him.

But for a scientist, keeping something in reserve is an instinctive reaction.

Orochimaru's trump card was the seal that allowed him to seize ownership of the Impure World Reincarnation Ninja.

Since those Impure World Reincarnation are very likely to be excellent Ninja, they are naturally valuable experimental subjects. It would be such a waste to just casually break the seal.

All the preparations will not be wasted. Now Orochimaru has obtained Six Paths Obito with the Rinnegan, an absolutely perfect experimental subject, enough for him to study for a year.

Orochimaru gleefully dealt with Six Paths Obito, and the look of precious reverence in his eyes made Obito's heart sink.

His stubbornness crumbled quickly under the scientists' gazes as they looked at this precious experimental subject, and his words, which started as curses, unconsciously turned into pleading.

"No, spare me, Lord Orochimaru! Spare me!"

"Kill me if you want, just kill me!"

"Please, kill me!"

"No! Kill me!"

As Orochimaru cut and sealed Obito piece by piece, Six Paths Obito pleas grew increasingly desperate.

When only his head remained, held and admired by Orochimaru, Obito's mind was on the verge of collapse, and he could only mutter, "Die, I want to die, I want to die."

But in the end, he was completely sealed away by Orochimaru and became a highly valued collectible.

Satisfied, Orochimaru licked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Why is Obito crying so bitterly? He's already dead, and I can't kill him again, so why is he crying?"

"Honestly, I'm giving him an opportunity to contribute to science, and he doesn't appreciate it at all."

At this point, the core members of Akatsuki were either dead or sealed away, with only one member, Zetsu, still operating in the shadows.

However, it's debatable whether Black Zetsu was actually a member of Akatsuki. From an organizational perspective, Akatsuki has already vanished.

The Fourth Shinobi World War was gradually coming to an end.

In fact Shazo's judgment that Madara Uchiha was stalling was wrong, because he was not deliberately stalling.

After witnessing Nagato's [Shinra Tensei], Madara Uchiha decided to speed up the process to avoid any unexpected incidents caused by Shazo's interference.

--

He first disbanded Susanoo, and then turned against his beloved family and friends.

Hashirama Senju Madara Uchiha's intentions. He immediately activated the Natural Energy he had absorbed, entered Sage Mode, and prepared to use [Sage Art: Wood Release: Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands].

In that instant, Madara Uchiha used the suction force of [Banshō Ten'in] to grab Hashirama Senju in his hand.

He grabbed Hashirama with his left hand, activated [Chakra Absorption] to plunder Hashirama's Senjutsu Chakra, and then activated Sage Mode himself.

However, Madara Uchiha's momentum did not increase as a result; instead, it decreased considerably.

A look of surprise crossed his face. He disbelievedly exited the Sage Mode and then re-entered it.

After repeating this process three times, Madara Uchiha finally gave up, sighing, "So Sage Mode is nothing special after all. It not only doesn't enhance me now, but it actually weakens me considerably."

He dispelled the Senjutsu Chakra he had absorbed, and said with a mixture of regret and relief, "Hashirama, I have surpassed you in every way. Now it's your turn to fall behind me."

Madara Uchiha abandoned the helpless Hashirama Senju and turned his attention to his main target Minato Namikaze.

Because of his habit of concealing information, he deliberately put on a disgusted expression. "Running so fast, you and Tobirama Senju are like annoying Bug. Watch how I break your legs."

However, Madara Uchiha's target was Hiruzen Sarutobi, and his Black Staff pierced Hiruzen Sarutobi's chest.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was one of utter astonishment, as if he were questioning. "You said you were going to Water Shot Minato and Sensei, so why did you hit me?"

Madara Uchiha sneered, "A surprised expression, but why are you so surprised?"

"As Ninja, using feints is common sense. And you're the Hokage?"

The Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb on the Black Staff vibrated, destroying the jutsu on the Third Hokage's body.

As the Impure World Reincarnation was lifted, the Third Hokage's horrified expression froze, then he turned into scattered pieces of Impure World Reincarnation, revealing the White Zetsu's corpse that had been replaced.

Madara Uchiha clicked his tongue. "Seriously, the offering Konoha used for the Impure World Reincarnation was also White Zetsu. Just how much stuff did you guys manage to get your hands on beforehand?"

This statement is both a true reflection of Madara Uchiha's inner thoughts and a provocation to sow discord among the Four Kage.

What he meant was: Look, Konoha knows everything, and they even got their hands on White Zetsu beforehand, but they didn't tell you anything. Are you still going to risk your lives for Konoha?

Madara Uchiha's provocation was very effective. Of the Four Kage, only the Fifth Kazekage remained unmoved. The other three continued their actions, but the speed of their Chakra Flow decreased almost imperceptibly.

Most importantly, Madara Uchiha sensed that the Ninjutsu of the Fourth Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Fifth Mizukage had become more imposing in appearance, but their actual power had clearly decreased.

Madara Uchiha was very satisfied with this, but he still suppressed his eagerness and focused his main attack on the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.

At the same time, by advancing towards Konoha, he forced the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage to launch a more proactive attack, finally seizing the most opportune moment.

When Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan saw the uniquely shaped Sword of Ninja Love slicing across his neck and emitting Chakra fluctuations, he activated his most bizarre Rinnegan Secret Technique.

[Limbo: Border Jail: Border Prison]

This technique is based on the power of the Rinnegan, using "Limbo: Border Jail" to create his "shadow".

These shadows can not only shield Madara Uchiha from enemy attacks, but also attack enemies in his place.

Because ordinary Ninja cannot see or sense these shadows, their attacks can be considered surprise attacks, making them extremely difficult to defend against.

However, the shadow of [Limbo: Border Jail: Border Jail] has a flaw that is not really a flaw: the shadow's speed is only average, and it is completely unable to catch up with the super-fast Ninja like Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze.

Moreover, both of these guys have extremely sharp intuition. Even though they can't see the shadow of Limbo: Border Jail, they can still dodge the shadow's attacks by relying on their intuition.

Especially the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, whose reaction speed was unbelievably fast.

If Madara Uchiha is not careful, Minato Namikaze will escape the sight of his Rinnegan.

Despite the interference from the Four Kage and Tobirama Senju, this can still be considered the Miracle.

Madara Uchiha secretly praised: The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, truly deserves to be called a genius; he died at only 24.

It's such a pity she's so old.

Madara Uchiha reviewed all his methods and was certain that he only had one chance to capture Minato Namikaze: when he completed the Flying Thunder God Technique, Madara would use Limbo: Border Jail: Border Jail and summon his shadow directly at the location where Minato Namikaze appeared.

Madara Uchiha succeeded; the Limbo: Border Jail shadow captured Minato Namikaze.

Without further ado, he instantly Body Flicker Technique over, grabbed Minato Namikaze, and began extracting the Nine-Tails.

Nagato extracts the Chakra of the Tailed Beast and transfers it to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, a process that takes several hours each time.

However, as the original owner of the Rinnegan and also the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, Madara Uchiha could extract half of the Nine-Tails in just a short moment.

Madara Uchiha tossed Minato Namikaze to the ground, then, holding the Yin Nine-Tails, which had been Rinnegan into a luminous pearl by the Rinnegan, laughed triumphantly, "Finally got it!"

"I've finally obtained the last condition for eternal peace in the Ninja World!"

Upon seeing this, Tobirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, Ōnoki, A, Mei Terumi, and Gaara naturally realized that they had been deceived by Madara Uchiha.

It wasn't just Madara Uchiha's instigation and his attack on Konoha that were all aimed at luring out the Fourth Hokage, seizing the Nine-Tails from him, and replenishing the Ten-Tails' missing Chakra.

Previously, after they learned that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had been activated, they all thought that Madara Uchiha no longer needed the Nine-Tails and that his attack on Konoha was to eliminate the forces that were hindering his plans.

Seeing the regretful expressions on the faces of the Kage, Madara Uchiha became even more smug. "Haha, you guessed right. I didn't need to attack Konoha at all, nor did I need to kill Allied Shinobi Forces ' Ninja."

"You and they are all objects to whom I will bestow Eternity peace, and I will also bestow upon you Eternity dreams!"

As he spoke, he raised the pearl formed from the Nine-Tails, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it.

"You're dreaming!"

A figure enveloped in blue rushed over and kicked Madara Uchiha in the chest and abdomen before he could react.

Like the Heimlich maneuver, the impact propelled the air from the lungs, causing the Nine-Tails Pearl to be expelled.

Madara Uchiha was in a panic. Without even looking to see who had kicked him, he reached out to grab the Nine-Tails Orb.

But a gray figure swept past, snatching the orb first and moving away from Madara Uchiha.

Might Duy laughed heartily, "Kai, that's how youth should be lived!"

"Even in death, I can reignite myself and fight for Konoha. My youth has been without regrets!"

Might Guy was moved to tears. "Father! This is wonderful! Youth is wonderful!"

Tobirama Senju, "Madara Uchiha, my brother is right, we will definitely stop you!"

The Four Kage rallied again, as if to make amends. The Fourth Raikage, the Third Tsuchikage, and the Fifth Mizukage launched an all-out attack to restrain Madara Uchiha.

[Magnet Style: Sand Waterfall Spear Burial]

[Liger Bomb]

[Dust Release: Limit Detachment Technique]

[Boil Style: Dragon of Clever Mist]

Madara Uchiha's face darkened more than ever before. "Since you resist so stubbornly, don't blame me for not giving you the chance to enjoy the perfect world!"

[Rinnegan - Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal]

The Shukaku's Spear made of yellow sand, the Lightning Release Chakra on the Fourth Raikage, the enormous Dust Release frame, and the giant dragon made of corrosive mist were all absorbed by the shield formed by the seal, and could not cause any damage at all.

The massive amount of Chakra absorbed was transformed into Wood Release Chakra under Madara Uchiha's control, and then he used Wood Release Secret Technique.

[Wood Release: Multiple Wood Clone Technique]

One after another, Wood Clone appeared around Madara Uchiha. They were not in the form of Six Paths Madara, but rather Madara Uchiha wearing red armor, with black hair and a pair of Eternal Madara Uchiha Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Astonishingly, there were as many as 18 Wood Clone, enough for each of the Ninja present to have two, including the First Hokage and the Fourth Hokage who were no longer able to fight.

Seeing this, Might Duy raised his arms and shouted, "Youth fears no danger!"

"Kai, let's fight together and defeat these troublesome enemies!"

Despite the pain in his body, Might Guy opened the Seventh Gate again, blue Ki aura rising from his body once more. He shouted back to his father, "Youth is about fighting!"

The Four Kage were also encouraged, overcoming their disappointment at having their prized Ninjutsu absorbed by Madara Uchiha, and regained their spirits.

However, the next second, the 18 Wood Clone simultaneously unleashed powerful Chakra fluctuations, and 18 Fourth Stage Susanoo from the ground, leaving all the Ninja stunned and speechless.

Taking advantage of Might Duy's momentary daze, Madara Uchiha used the Body Flicker Technique to get close and used the Sealing Technique: Absorption Seal to destroy Dai's Impure World Reincarnation state.

After reclaiming the Nine-Tails Orb, Madara Uchiha swallowed it whole without hesitation and merged it into the Ten-Tails within his body.

Only then did he address all the Ninja: "The Fourth Shinobi World War is over."
