The Last Wish of Madara

"Smack!"

Natsu Yuu waved his hand, dispelling the Truth-Seeking Orb prison that had held Old Man of Six Paths captive.

Without a host to possess, he was now nothing but a soul, with hardly any power to resist.

That was amazing!

That was why Natsu Yuu had chosen to trade for
