Susanoo Versus the Ten-Tails

At this very moment.

Impure World Madara's appearance also caused an uproar among the Konoha forces.

Although most of the ninja didn't recognize Madara, everyone knew Susanoo—especially after it had swatted away a Tailed Beast Bomb.

And anyone who could recognize him, including Tsunade and the others,

"Hmph! You're nothing but a dead man, a clown played for a fool by Black Zetsu. We have nothing to talk about."

"A clown? How arrogant!"

Madara's temper flared, and he prepared to teach the insolent Nagato a lesson.

Though Madara disliked Kabuto's blabbering, he understood that Kabuto
