Rest Today, Fight Again Tomorrow

This is also why Madara could remain so calm, because he didn't believe that Tianqi could awaken the Rinnegan. After all, not many people in this world know about the Rinnegan, and even those who do only regard it as a legend. No one would be foolish enough to believe it unless they have seen it with their own eyes.

However, what Madara didn't know was that even without the Rinnegan, Tianqi was still someone Madara couldn't defeat in his current state. Even if the Eternal Mangekyo wasn't enough, the complete Sage Body could still contend against Madara's most basic form of the Rinnegan. Don't you see, Naruto didn't even have the Rinnegan, yet he still teamed up with Sasuke to seal Kaguya and ultimately fought Sasuke to a draw. That's the power of a fully-fledged Sage Body.

"White Zetsu, you need to pay close attention to the battlefield movements and keep a close eye on Tianqi. I need to know his situation at all times."

"Yes, Lord Madara."

Thick smoke billowed across the battlefield, and countless corpses lay motionless on the ground. Most of the dead ninjas wore expressions of terror, helplessness, and resentment. What should have been a peaceful place was instead filled with the sounds of fighting, screams, and explosions. Seventy blue giants were relentlessly hacking and slashing at the ninjas who were closing in.

"The Five Kage are a bunch of idiots. They haven't even dealt with a few clones yet. I really don't know where they got their titles of Kage." Tianqi became impatient as he watched the Five Kage still fighting with their clones.

Tianqi unleashed his Kamui to ambush the Five Kage, and the five of them were sent flying without warning.

Tianqi came up to the Five Kage and laughed, "Heh, I really don't know where you got your titles of Kage from. All you know how to do is deal with my clones. Take a good look at your subordinate ninjas."

Upon hearing Tianqi's words, the five turned their gazes toward the Allied Shinobi Forces in the distance, where they saw giants and Tailed Beast slaughtering the Shinobi Forces.

"Damn it! When did so many Susanoo appear?"

"Holy crap! We were so focused on dealing with these clones that we didn't realize the allied forces were already losing."

Watching the ninjas losing their lives one after another in the distance, the Five Kage gritted their teeth in heartache.

Seeing the expressions on the Five Kage's faces, Tianqi immediately began to mock them, "Heh, you dare to call yourselves shadows? You can't even handle my clones, how laughable. I advise you to give up your positions as shadows as soon as possible, and stop embarrassing yourselves here."

Upon hearing Tianqi's words, the Five Kage clenched their fists, staring intently at Tianqi as if they were ready to fight him to the death.

"You don't need to look at me like that. I'm absolutely right to say that. As Shadows, you really are failures."

"However, I've decided to give you another chance. I'll let you go back and rest today, and we'll fight again tomorrow. Don't say I'm not giving you a chance. If you're still like this tomorrow, I'll personally destroy the Five Great Nations." With that, Tianqi turned and prepared to leave.

Seeing Tianqi about to leave, Ōnoki arrogantly jumped out, "Hmph! Let us go back to rest? I bet you're running out of Susanoo Chakra after all that. You think you can fool me?"

The other Four Kage, upon hearing Ōnoki's words, also agreed that he made a lot of sense. Maintaining so much Susanoo fighting, and then suddenly saying that they should go back to rest, meant that Uchiha Tianqi was definitely not going to be able to hold on any longer.

Instantly, several figures stared intently at Tianqi, ready to strike at any moment.

After listening to Ōnoki's words, Tianqi turned to look at the several Kage who were about to attack. He shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Are all the Kage this ignorant nowadays? I wanted to let you go, but you're not happy about it."

"To tell you the truth, I only used half my strength in today's fight. If you don't believe me, try again."

"Hmph, you've only shown half your strength to bluff. Today I'll test you out." Ōnoki didn't believe Uchiha Tianqi's words at all and was about to launch Dust Release attack.

"Dust Release - Primal Boundary Detachment..."

Seeing that Ōnoki was about to complete the Dust Release, Tianqi didn't tolerate him. "You really want to try! You're really not afraid of death!" He immediately Hand Seals.

"Wood Release - Wood Binding!" Ōnoki's feet, binding him tightly. His Dust Release was also interrupted, and the other Four Kage were simultaneously bound.

"Today I'm going to teach you a lesson and show you that you need to know your place," Tianqi said, forming hand Hand Seals once more.

"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique"

As they hid, the earth trembled, and a giant Wood Dragon emerged from the ground, aiming at the Five Kage. The Wood Dragon lashed its tail directly at the Five Kage.

The Five Kage were unable to break free of their restraints and could only stare blankly as the Wood Dragon's tail attacked them.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The Wood Dragon's tail struck them, and the Wood Binding were broken, sending the Five Kage flying once more.

The Five Kage were sent flying, all spitting out blood and clutching their chests.

"This Wood Dragon is just as powerful as the First Hokage's Wood Dragon. It seems he wasn't lying; he really did only use half its strength before." Sarutobi Hiruzen clutched his chest, panting as he looked at the Wood Dragon.

"What's wrong with Konoha? You guys don't even know such a powerful Wood Release, how come Uchiha Tianqi knows it?" Ghost Lantern Eiji was repeatedly knocked away, and he was furious. He directly questioned Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Yes! Where did Uchiha Tianqi get his Wood Release Ninjutsu?" The other Four Kage also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen at the same time.

"What do you all mean by this? Why are you all looking at me? Shinobi World the First Hokage's granddaughter doesn't know Wood Release now. How would I know where Uchiha Tianqi got Wood Release from?" Seeing that everyone was starting to question him, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly tried to explain.

While the Five Kage were still questioning each other, Tianqi walked over. Looking at them, Tianqi sneered, "Even now, you still have the nerve to argue. It seems your alliance isn't so reliable after all. Well, a bunch of rabble together is still a rabble. It's laughable that I thought you were my formidable enemies."

After saying that Tianqi turned and left, leaving the five people standing there clutching their chests. The five people looked at each other and understood that now was not the time to question them.

Tianqi walked to a huge rock, raised two fingers to his chest, and exclaimed, "Release!"

With a shout of "Release!" from Tianqi, the hundred clones of Susanoo disappeared, as did the eight Tailed Beasts. The Uchiha members, who possessed the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak, slowly retreated, and the Wood Dragon burrowed into the ground and vanished.

The Allied Shinobi, seeing the giant and the Tailed Beast disappear, assumed that Uchiha Tianqi had been destroyed. Just as they were about to rejoice, they saw the Five Kage walking towards them.

"All ninjas, retreat twenty kilometers to rest and regroup. We'll fight again tomorrow," Ai shouted as he stepped forward.

Seeing that the commander of the allied forces had spoken, the ninjas began to retreat.
