There was no time!
The Allied Shinobi Forces were about to be fully assembled, and the war between Madara and the entire Ninja World could erupt at any moment.
Liao Wu couldn't wait until Toneri was that age.
At this point, Liao Wu could only hope the Ninja Alliance would be up to the task. Forget defeating Madara—even holding him off would be good enough.
"Come on, let's go back! We'll prepare for your grand wedding to Hashirama's granddaughter!"
Madara used Banshō Ten'in to pull Liao Wu toward him, then grabbed him and hurried toward Amegakure.
Watching Madara's back, Liao Wu knew that for now, he couldn't obtain the Tenseigan and gain the absolute power to stand against Madara.
But he could still make himself stronger.
For example, with Senjutsu.
Liao Wu had originally planned to head to Ryūchi Cave and train in Senjutsu after Madara reclaimed the Rinnegan, but the matter of merging with Madara Hashirama Cells had held him up.
Then there was Madara's mission for him to capture the Tailed Beasts.
One thing after another had kept Liao Wu from going to Ryūchi Cave to train in Senjutsu.
He would have to wait until he returned from Sand Village with Shukaku.
Once he had trained in Senjutsu, Liao Wu would become much stronger. Then he could summon the Senju Great Buddha.
Even Madara, with the Rinnegan, would struggle against a Super-spec Ninjutsu like that.
What's more, Liao Wu planned to use Senjutsu to deal with the Curse Mark Madara had placed on him.
Lost in thoughts of how he would stab Madara in the back, Liao Wu didn't even notice that Madara had already flown them to Amegakure.
Madara tossed Liao Wu toward an open space in Rain Village. From midair, Liao Wu saw a chaotic scene
