Just as Madara was about to move...
Liao Wu pointed at the sky in shock, his eyes wide as though he had seen something terrifying. "Ancestor, look up there—"
Puzzled, Madara looked up. A golden pillar of light pierced the gloomy sky over the Land of Rain and descended with devastating force, like divine punishment.
Its targets were the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and Madara.
"What is that?!"
Across the Land of Rain, everyone outdoors looked up. A golden flash from the depths of space was descending upon them.
They took it for a miracle. One after another, they fell to their knees and prayed for protection.
On a remote road in the Land of Rain...
Tsunade and Kuhon were being escorted toward Madara by White Zetsu Clones and people from the Grass Village.
Madara's sudden disappearance had put Tsunade on guard.
"What the hell did he go off to do?"
Kuhon noticed a beam of light falling in the distance.
"Lord Tsunade, look! Look at that light!"
"Light?!"
Tsunade looked up in confusion and froze.
"Teacher Minato, turn around! Look at that light!"
As Minato led Obito and the others to safety, Obito suddenly shouted for everyone to look back. They did, and every last one of them stared in disbelief.
Mom, has the Sage of Six Paths been reincarnated?!
Tsunade and the others, the Minato Squad, the Leaf Village's Scout Squad, Danzo and Ryoma, the Ninja of the Rain Village...
They all saw a beam of light pierce the Land of Rain's overcast sky and descend.
For a moment, it looked like hope!
But... it might just as easily have been despair!
Black Zetsu was struck with horror.
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
*Damn it, how could I have forgotten them? The Ōtsutsuki Clan on
