When it came to teamwork, the First and Madara—friends and rivals—were undoubtedly the most in sync on the entire battlefield.
So when he saw Madara frown, the First immediately called out from a distance, "Don't let your guard down. There's something strange about this shinobi!"

Next, all five Shadow Clones activated Susanoo, adding
