"This...
"... Is that okay?"
Staring at the screen, the Third Raikage and the others widened their eyes.
They could hardly believe their eyes.
In terms of sheer power, the Perfect Susanoo unleashed by the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is already extremely formidable.
But this was not the end.
In addition to the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan Uchiha Madara also mastered Wood Release!
The combination of Wood Release and Sharingan ultimately exceeded ordinary people's expectations.
In the scene, the Wood Man Susanoo charges forward, but the expected collision never occurs.
Faced with Madara's attack, Namikawa Yū did not choose to take it head-on, but instead retreated to dodge, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to avoid the attack.
The scene shown on the screen ends here.
Looking at all this, everyone present couldn't help but look at Namikawa Yū in front of them, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of the commander before them.
In the past, they only knew that Namikawa Yū was strong, but they did not have a proper understanding of just how strong he was.
In the past, even when they joined forces, they couldn't get close to Namikawa Yū; their strength was far inferior to his.
But after this battle, they had a better understanding of Namikawa Yū's strength and learned more about his background.
However, they were deeply alarmed by this.
In this battle, Namikawa Yū displayed formidable strength, showcasing powerful Ninjutsu, the terrifying Flying Thunder God, and the incredibly powerful Wood Release.
If someone else were to go up there, even these so-called shadows, they would only face certain death.
However, even with the abilities that Namikawa Yū possessed, he could only maintain an undefeated trend when facing Uchiha Madara.
" The Flying Thunder God can only keep me undefeated, it can't let me defeat Madara."
Namikawa Yū spoke softly, "What are everyone's thoughts?"
I have a question.
Ōnoki spoke up, "You also possess Wood Release and the Mangekyou Mangekyo Sharingan. Even if your power is not as great as Uchiha Madara's, it shouldn't be too far off."
Why did it end up like this...?
"Speaking of this, it involves another secret."
Namikawa Yū sighed, "Even among Mangekyo Sharingan, there are different levels."
"This is a secret of our Uchiha Clan, but now, it won't hurt to tell you."
After a moment's thought, he revealed the secret of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
At this stage, even among the Uchiha Clan, very few people know the secret of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
After all, to decipher the messages on the stone tablet, one must possess the corresponding level of Sharingan.
Currently, within the Uchiha Clan, only Namikawa Yū Yu possesses the Sharingan.
When he revealed the secret of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, everyone present was in an uproar.
"What? Not only do you need to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, but you also need your brother to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, and at the same time, you need to sacrifice one of your eyes in order to awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Someone present was astonished. "How could one obtain this power through such an evil method?"
To some extent, the Second Hokage's assessment of the Uchiha Clan as an inherently evil clan, while somewhat biased, does have some merit.
At least those present felt something was off about Namikawa Yū's story.
First, to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan, one must endure much suffering.
Only by fully experiencing the process of receiving and losing love can one awaken to its true nature.
This is already very against human nature.
The process of obtaining the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan is even more evil.
One must sacrifice the eyes of one's own brother or other relatives to obtain the eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
What else could they be but an inherently evil race?
Hearing Namikawa Yū's words, the Uchiha Clan members present, including Uchiha Kawaaki, finally understood.
They argued that since both were users of Wood Release and the Mangekyo Sharingan, there was no reason for Namikawa Yū to be weaker than Madara.
After all, even though Uchiha Madara was a genius, Yu Namikawa Yū was known as the number one genius of the Uchiha Clan.
There's no reason for him to be worse than Ban.
It now seems that it wasn't that Namikawa Yū's power was inferior to Madara's, but rather that he lacked a brother who had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Looks like a troublesome opponent."
Uchiha Madara's power did not cause those present to despair; instead, it fueled their fighting spirit.
Those who can sit here are basically all strong figures in the Ninja World. Even the weaker ones, such as Uchiha Kawaaki, are still considered Kage Level.
As strong individuals, they naturally possess the courage to challenge the highest peaks.
Of course, most importantly, they also have a master like Namikawa Yū on their side.
As the Federal Leader, judging from the Third Raikage and others' perceptions, even if Namikawa Yū was slightly inferior to Uchiha Madara, he shouldn't be too far behind.
With their help, defeating Uchiha Madara shouldn't be too difficult.
"Then let's get started!"
Ōnoki spoke up, "Since we've come this far, let's act quickly to avoid causing even greater losses."
"Good."
The Third Kazekage spoke in a deep voice, "We must retrieve Shukaku as soon as possible!"
The Land of Land of Wind has suffered heavy losses since losing Shukaku.
Without Shukaku as a cheap energy source, the entire Land of Land of Wind began to crumble on a large scale, and many infrastructures and factories became unusable due to the lack of energy.
Every additional delay in this situation will result in enormous losses.
Therefore, among those present, the one most eager to reclaim Shukaku was the Third Kazekage.
"Sending troops is the right thing to do, but shouldn't we have discussed the distribution of the spoils beforehand?"
The Third Raikage spoke up, " Uchiha Madara's Sharingan belongs to the Uchiha Clan, so it should naturally belong to the leader. But what about Shukaku?"
After he finished speaking, everyone present fell silent.
Many people looked up and gazed at Namikawa Yū, clearly also anticipating the answer to this question.
" Raikage, what do you mean?"
The Third Kazekage roared in fury, " Shukaku belongs to our Sunagakure!"
"What do you mean, you Sunagakure thing?"
The Third Raikage retorted, " Tailed Beast are treasures of the entire Ninja World. When did they become the property of your Sunagakure?"
" Shukaku originally belonged to your Sunagakure, but you failed to protect it properly, and it was forcibly taken away."
"This proves that your Sunagakure is not capable of protecting Shukaku. Why not have another village protect it?"
" The Raikage is right."
Standing beside Hiruzen Sarutobi, listening to the Third Raikage's words, Shimura Danzō immediately chimed in, " Konoha agrees with the Raikage's statement."
" Tailed Beast are treasures of the entire Ninja World; there's no such thing as them belonging to only one family."
"In my opinion, the distribution should be based on contributions made in this battle. Whoever performed exceptionally well and made the greatest contribution should have the Tailed Beast assigned to their respective ninja village."
"As for Sunagakure, they can also receive some compensation, such as a post-war reparations fund."
"Agree."
That would be perfect.
Hearing Shimura Danzō's words, everyone present nodded in agreement.
Everyone has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
There's no way around it; Tailed Beast are just too precious.
With the great development of the Ninja World, the importance of the Tailed Beast has continued to rise, to the point that now everyone is keeping an eye on those Tailed Beast.
Villages that possess Tailed Beast can earn a considerable income and profit simply by extracting Tailed Beast chakra and selling it to other countries and regions.
In contrast, regions without Tailed Beast have no choice but to pay high prices to buy Tailed Beast Chakra from major ninja villages in order to obtain enough cheap energy.
This feeling was not only unpleasant, but the whole process felt like having blood drawn from someone.
Anyone who has experienced this feeling desires to obtain a Tailed Beast of their own.
In the past, Tailed Beast were the exclusive property of the great ninja villages, monopolized by the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
Even if the smaller ninja villages longed for it, they had no way to take the Tailed Beast from the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
And now, the opportunity has arrived.
Sunagakure couldn't protect the Tailed Beast, and Uchiha Madara took Shukaku away.
This is a golden opportunity.
You have to understand that once you miss this opportunity, who knows how long it will be before you encounter something like this again.
Upon realizing this, everyone present chimed in with agreement.
Everyone wanted to obtain Shukaku and become Shukaku new master, so naturally no one wanted to return Shukaku to Sunagakure.
For a time, Sunagakure became an absolute minority within the entire council.
"You...
... you!"
Facing the crowd, the Third Kazekage's face was ashen, his heart filled with rage.
He was about to say something and argue with everyone present when he heard Namikawa Yū's voice.
"The most important task right now is to deal with Uchiha Madara."
He spoke softly, "If we don't deal with Madara first, our current discussion will be completely meaningless."
"As for the distribution of Shukaku, that can be discussed after the war."
He spoke softly, his gaze suddenly shifting to the Third Raikage ahead. "And, just now, another message arrived."
"Just now, Uchiha Madara forcibly broke into a military base in Kumogakure and stole the Two-Tails, which was sealed inside."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present changed their expression.
"What!"
The Third Raikage was immediately stunned, his face showing disbelief.
This is truly astonishing.
Just now, he was arguing with the Third Kazekage, trying to seize ownership of Shukaku for Kumogakure.
Before they could even secure Shukaku's allegiance, they lost their own village's Tailed Beast.
This is truly something I don't know what to say.
This sudden news shifted everyone's attention to the threat posed by Uchiha Madara.
They knew that if they didn't act soon, Uchiha Madara's actions would likely continue.
The most urgent task is to get rid of the blemishes.
"Judging from his appearance, he seems to be planning to capture them in order, from the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails."
Ōnoki spoke in a deep voice, "In that case, his next target will be the Three-Tails."
" The Three-Tails?"
The Third Mizukage, who had remained silent until now, spoke up, "Then his next target will be Kirigakure."
The Three-Tails currently belongs to Kirigakure and is Kirigakure in a base there, serving as the energy source for the entire Land of Water.
"Then let's begin the setup."
Namikawa Yū spoke softly, "The first battlefield will begin in Kirigakure."
"Everyone, prepare immediately."
As he set the tone, everyone present nodded. "Yes!"
After reaching a consensus, the next step is to make strategic plans.
On this point, the group disagreed again.
The main point of contention lies between the Third Raikage and the Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki.
Ōnoki believed that the Federation's advantage lay in its abundant manpower and large number of ninjas.
By directly using the lives of a large number of ninjas to accumulate and deplete Uchiha Madara's power, even a ninja of Madara's caliber would not be able to withstand it.
After all, he's already considered an old man by age.
Ninjas are just ninjas, not gods.
Even a powerful ninja like Uchiha Madara, who could be called the God of Shinobi, was still human after all, and his strength would decline significantly as he aged.
In this situation, if they simply use enough manpower to pile him up, they can overwhelm him.
The Third Raikage, however, opposed this approach.
He believed that since they could solve the problem themselves, why make unnecessary sacrifices?
While directly using human lives to accumulate wealth may be effective, it will inevitably result in the deaths of many people.
Instead of that, it would be better to only send Elite Jonin- level ninjas to the front lines; that would minimize the losses.
The two men were locked in a bitter dispute in parliament, each with their own supporters.
"As a Kage, you should have the awareness of a Kage. Ōnoki, if you're afraid of death, you might as well step down from the position of Tsuchikage and replace it with someone who isn't afraid of death!"
The Third Raikage spoke up sarcastically.
This isn't a question of whether or not one is afraid of death.
Ōnoki spoke in a deep voice, "As a Kage, you should be responsible for the village behind you. The most important task right now is to eliminate Madara, not to play the hero!"
The argument lasted for a moment before being decisively stopped by Namikawa Yū.
He compromised on the two proposals and let his subordinates make strategic plans.
"Even at Madara's speed, it will take some time to travel from Kumogakure to Kirigakure; it should take about a day."
Namikawa Yū spoke up, "Let's all make as many preparations as possible during this time."
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished from the spot and left.
Clearly, Namikawa Yū also needs to go down and make some preparations.
Facing Uchiha Madara as an opponent, he could not be as casual as before and had to show his true skills.
Those present exchanged glances, then got up and left to prepare their own things.
A day passed quickly.
Above the Kirigakure, a gigantic Susanoo shadow danced and slowly descended to the ground.
Then Uchiha Madara appeared.
Is this the place?
As he gazed at the scene unfolding before him, this thought flashed through his mind.
According to the information gathered by Black Zetsu, this should be the place where Kirigakure seals the Three-Tails.
With that thought in mind, he took a step forward and slowly walked forward, preparing to seize the Three-Tails.
