The Third Tsuchikage stared at Madara Uchiha before him, his expression grim beyond measure. He said helplessly, "The greatest problem has finally appeared. They really brought Madara Uchiha back. Now we're truly in trouble."
Gaara said calmly, "Whatever the case, it's already happened. All we can do now is..." He raised his hand, and countless streams of sand surged toward Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha evaded Gaara's attack with a light leap. Looking at the nine shinobi before him, he said, "It seems you want to dance. Then let me see whether today's ninja still have the strength they possessed back then."
Madara Uchiha charged straight at the nine of them, appearing before Gaara in an instant and lashing out with a kick. Gaara hurriedly waved his hand, sending sand swirling up to cover himself, but Madara was too fast. Before the sand could block him, Madara had already sent Gaara flying with a kick, stripping away a large patch of his Sand Armor.
Madara Uchiha smiled at the sight. "Decent defense, but that's all it is-decent." With that, he rushed straight toward Gaara to press his advantage.
Itachi Uchiha intercepted Madara Uchiha and engaged him in taijutsu. After they traded more than a dozen exchanges, Madara smiled. "Not bad, not bad. I never expected the Uchiha Clan to have someone as talented as you. At least you haven't disgraced the Uchiha name."
The longer Itachi Uchiha fought, the more astonished he became. Madara Uchiha's blows grew heavier and faster, leaving Itachi increasingly shocked. When Madara kicked again, Itachi was clearly being overwhelmed. With no other choice, he crossed his arms before his chest and used the force of Madara's kick to retreat swiftly. At the same time, he activated Amaterasu with his right eye, sending black flames burning toward Madara.
