Bang!
Under the night sky, within the pitch-black dense forest, enormous white smoke erupted with a boom. A colossal statue of a Demon God, as immense as a mountain peak, suddenly descended!
Uchiha Madara stood within the forehead of the Complete Body Susanoo, arms folded across his chest as he stared expressionlessly down at Orochimaru from above.
The moment Orochimaru used the Summoning Jutsu here, Uchiha Madara had noticed.
"Half an hour isn't up yet, is it?"
Uchiha Madara spoke coldly, displeasure in his tone.
"Is that so?" Orochimaru's hoarse voice drifted up from below as he smiled. "Uchiha Madara, first, please put away your Susanoo."
"Hmph."
Uchiha Madara snorted, and the pale-blue Complete Body Susanoo vanished in an instant. He then slowly descended from the air, the red samurai armor draped over him swaying slightly in the wind and producing several crisp clinks of metal.
"I have received reliable intelligence here. Jiraiya and Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, have appeared!" Orochimaru smiled. "Madara, I want you to capture Naruto before Minato Namikaze does, and then... reclaim the Nine-Tails within him!"
Uchiha Madara slowly narrowed his eyes.
This feeling was truly unpleasant!
Even Hashirama back then had not dared to speak to him in such a tone!
"So that's why you summoned me back."
Uchiha Madara reined in his anger and said, "No problem. Where is he?"
Orochimaru smiled and told him Naruto and Jiraiya's location.
After hearing it, Uchiha Madara suddenly revealed a cold smile and asked, "Orochimaru, Jiraiya should have been your classmate, shouldn't he?"
"Not merely a classmate—he was once a very close companion." Orochimaru lowered his head slightly, and a nostalgic look seemed to surface in his golden vertical pupils and Rinnegan in his right eye.
"Then what if Jiraiya tries to stop me?" Uchiha Madara asked
