"Exhilarating!" Facing Shin's question, Madara answered with just two words. For him, this had truly been the most satisfying battle since his resurrection.
Kaguya's gaze swept lightly over Madara without lingering, instead turning directly toward Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke in the distance. The Complete Body Susanoo hovered in midair, and the two within it were also staring at Kaguya.
