What was Uchiha Madara waiting for?
Everyone on the battlefield might have been wondering, but Uchiha Madara's heart was coldly calm.
He was preparing a Genjutsu.
True, with his current strength, even weakened by age as he was, suppressing the three Kage before him at once would not have been difficult.
He was absolutely confident that if he paid a certain price—such as completely exhausting this body's remaining life force—he could kill one or two of them here.
