Leaf Sannin Bully Madara Old Powerless

Jiraiya readied himself to strike. He didn't believe the Flame Uchiha Gunbai could reflect senjutsu.

But Tsunade stepped forward. "Jiraiya, let me deal with Liao Wu! There are some things I want to say to him anyway."

"Tsunade!"

Tsunade said with absolute certainty, "Jiraiya, I know what situation we're in right now. Liao Wu has to die. We have to stop him from restoring Madara Uchiha's strength."

"I'm a Leaf Ninja too. My love for the Leaf is no less than yours."

Sage Fukasaku warned Jiraiya, "Little Jiraiya, king versus king, general versus general. Right now, you're the strongest of the Sannin. You take the lead against Madara Uchiha."

Jiraiya nodded.

Of the Sannin, the one with the strongest Killing Intent toward Liao Wu right now was Jiraiya.

Orochimaru was thinking about Liao Wu's immortal Forbidden Technique and might betray them halfway through; Tsunade still hadn't severed her feelings for Liao Wu.

Jiraiya also had deep feelings for Liao Wu, but for the sake of the village, he had to sever that bond.

But with Madara Uchiha right there to the side, Jiraiya didn't feel safe leaving Tsunade and Orochimaru to deal with the dangerous Madara Uchiha.

Tsunade flew in front of Liao Wu and stepped down, blasting out a huge crater.

"Liao Wu, you liar."

Liao Wu had fooled Tsunade's tears with his feigned death, then found a way to give her a Forbidden Technique. Tsunade had clearly already given up on him, yet Liao Wu had fooled her feelings again.

Liao Wu rested the Flame Uchiha Gunbai on his shoulder and smiled roguishly. "That's called winning through strategy, babe!"

"Liao Wu, I'm very grateful for your technique, but—"

As Tsunade spoke, she opened the Yin Seal and released part of the Hundred Healings Seal.

Liao Wu looked at Tsunade's Hundred Healings Mode and realized Tsunade had already learned the Creation Rebirth Technique he had given her.

With Tsunade's talent, even without Liao Wu, she would have developed the Creation Rebirth Technique very soon.

After all, Liao Wu had only reverse-engineered Creation Rebirth from Tsunade's Ninjutsu Data.

It wasn't that Liao Wu's talent was good, but that Tsunade simply hadn't had the time.

During the Third Shinobi World War, Tsunade, who did not have Hemophobia, was practically the busiest of them all, often rushing from one battlefield to another to treat the wounded.

Boom—

Tsunade smashed a fist into the Great Earth. In an instant, Liao Wu felt as if a volcano had erupted; the place where he stood was directly smashed to pieces by Tsunade.

"Sorry. For the sake of the village, this time I have to kill you."

Liao Wu flipped backward several times, dodging the range of Tsunade's Monstrous Strength bombardment, then looked at the shattered place.

Liao Wu swallowed saliva. If Tsunade hit him, he really would die.

Among the Sannin, the one Liao Wu most wanted to deal with was still Orochimaru.

Not because he was weak.

But because Jiraiya had Sage Mode, so Liao Wu couldn't beat him, while Tsunade's fighting style was close-quarters hand-to-hand combat, and the Flame Uchiha Gunbai couldn't reflect Taijutsu.

Compared to them, Orochimaru was a little easier to deal with.

Liao Wu activated the Mayfly Technique and sank into the Great Earth. "Tsunade, I won't kill you, but if I catch you, I'm going to spank you hard!"

"Bastard!"

Tsunade charged over like a Tyrannosaurus, smashing every bit of scenery along the way into the air with her Monstrous Strength.

The sight frightened Orochimaru.

Tsunade, don't get my treasure killed.

Even Madara couldn't help glancing over. "Hashirama's granddaughter? That Monstrous Strength really is like Hashirama! She just still needs to rely on ninjutsu to use it?"

"The Young Men of this generation are no good!"

Tsunade's Forbidden Techniques were almost all Hashirama Senju's passives.

Seeing this, Jiraiya felt relieved, then glanced at Orochimaru beside him.

"Orochimaru, how long has it been since we fought shoulder to shoulder?"

Orochimaru snorted, pulled the Kusanagi Sword from his mouth, and stared with extreme seriousness at Madara Uchiha standing atop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

On the surface, Orochimaru didn't care, but in his heart, he had been silently calculating all along.

How long had it been since they fought shoulder to shoulder?

Far too long.

Ever since the Sannin had made their names, they had not gone on a mission together, because a team of three Jonin—and three super Jonin at that—was undoubtedly a waste of manpower.

Jiraiya had to stay in the Land of Rain to look after those orphans, Tsunade had to travel around treating patients, and Orochimaru was busy with dissections.

There really hadn't been time.

Jiraiya didn't mind when Orochimaru gave no reply. He smiled. Maybe this would be their last time fighting side by side.

Then... he would treasure it properly.

"We're going in, Bunta!"

"Right!"

The Toad Three Brothers of Mount Myōboku rushed in together, each unleashing ninjutsu at Madara Uchiha and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path beneath his feet.

"Water Style: Iron Cannon Ball!"

"Fire Style: Toad Oil Flame Bullet!"

"Wind Style: Sand Dust!"

Madara looked down on them on the surface, but in truth, he had been trying to shift over to Lord Liao Wu's side the entire time. However, Jiraiya and Orochimaru had him locked down, leaving him unable to move.

Lord Liao Wu was also being held up by Tsunade.

"Damn it, a pack of juniors—how dare you bully me!"

The Leaf Village children bullied Madara Old Powerless, openly dragging Madara into the bamboo grove; lips scorched and mouth dry, he could not cry out, and when he returned, he leaned on his staff and sighed to himself.

Madara shouted and activated the remaining Rinnegan Pupil Power in his body, controlling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path beneath his feet.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path stood up, like a giant from the dawn of creation holding up the heavens.

"Roar—"

With a massive roar, a deafening rumble resounded between heaven and earth, and the Shockwave it stirred up rebounded all the ninjutsu Mount Myōboku had unleashed.

It was as if a hurricane of more than a dozen levels had swept through, blowing the toads of Mount Myōboku backward.

A little over ten li from the battlefield.

After fusing with Tobi, Obito used Wood Style and badly frightened the Grass Village Ninja, but Obito did not have Mangekyo Kamui, and relying on this alone was not enough to make the Grass Village People flee in defeat.

Wood Style and Sharingan were enough to drive a Small Village like Kusagakure mad.

But the storm raised by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path filled Kusagakure with terror.

"What is that?"

The Grass Village Ninja saw the terrifying figure of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. They could see it even from this far away. If they got close to that monster, who knew how terrifying it would be?

The moment the Grass Village Leader saw the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, his breathing nearly stopped.

He asked Ryūsetsu, "Ryūsetsu, who exactly captured you?"

Ryūsetsu answered honestly, "Madara Uchiha!"

"What?! Ryūsetsu, you're sure you didn't see wrong?"

"No. That's what Lord Liao Wu said!"

"Madara Uchiha, my Six Paths Sage! Madara Uchiha is actually still alive."

"No wonder, no wonder! Only Madara Uchiha could stir up a storm like this!"

"Run. Everyone run! Hurry back to the village and evacuate everyone."

The instant his words fell, the Grass Village Ninja fled as if their lives depended on it.

The Grass Village Leader glanced at the troublesome Obito.

What a pity. If it weren't for Madara Uchiha, they might have been able to bring this Uchiha man back to the village as a stud.

Hagi Chiho carried Ryūsetsu on her back. "Ryūsetsu, let's go. This storm is no longer something a Small Ninja Village like Kusagakure can interfere in!"

Ryūsetsu held tightly to her teacher, then looked back one last time in the direction of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Lord Liao Wu, please take care of yourself!

After the Grass Village People had all left, Obito collapsed to his knees, completely drained.

Though Tobi had been doing the fighting, he had still been borrowing Obito's body.

"Rin..."

Obito lay on the ground, gasping for breath, still murmuring Rin's name even now.

This made Tobi somewhat curious about just how fragrant the poop of this person called Rin was, to have Obito so obsessed with her.

Sage Shima and Sage Fukasaku clung tightly to Jiraiya.

Sage Shima held up one hand against the storm and asked Sage Fukasaku in terror, "Child's Father, do you know what that monster is?"

Sage Fukasaku looked at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with a grave expression. "That thing must have quite the origin. I'm afraid only the Great Lord knows where it came from."

The legends of the Six Paths Sage and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki were a thousand years old.

Sage Fukasaku and Sage Shima were only eight-hundred-year-old sages, so it was normal that they did not know the origin of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

In the Original Work, when they saw the Rinnegan, they did not know its abilities either. They only knew that the Rinnegan was the eyes of the Six Paths Sage.

The Great Toad Sage had not recorded information on this subject in Mount Myōboku's documents.
