On this day, the people were once again reminded of the terror that is Madara Uchiha!
A massive Perfect Susanoo descended from the heavens, instantly jolting Konoha awake in the early morning.
The village's ninjas immediately began guiding the villagers to evacuate.
Kizaru, the Fourth Hokage, had no choice but to stand before Madara Uchiha on the outskirts of the village.
"Madara Uchiha, what do you think you're doing?" Hovering in the air, Kizaru stood alone before Madara Uchiha under the watchful eyes of many villagers and ninjas.
"Hand over the remaining Tailed Beasts!" Standing within his Susanoo, Madara Uchiha said coldly.
"Old man, are you dreaming?" Kizaru mocked him without reservation.
The corners of Madara Uchiha's eyes twitched; he was genuinely angered by Kizaru's mockery.
If we're going to act, just act, why the personal attacks?
"Do you want to die?" Madara Uchiha's tone turned even colder.
After speaking, Madara Uchiha controlled the massive Susanoo to raise its right hand, draw its blade, and slash forcefully toward the right.
The strike carried the power to destroy heaven and earth, obliterating the forest to Madara Uchiha's right and carving a literal abyss into the earth.
Every ninja who witnessed this inhuman strike was stunned, completely devoid of the courage to face Madara Uchiha.
"It's... it's okay! We have the Fourth Hokage!" Konoha ninjas who had personally witnessed the Fourth Hokage repel Madara Uchiha before spoke as if clutching at a final straw.
"Right! We have the Fourth Hokage!"
"Long live the Hokage!"
In times of despair, people always pin their hopes on the strong; at this moment, Kizaru was the only hope in their hearts.
"Ohoho! That's truly terrifying!" Kizaru chuckled, making a dry remark.
"Lord Hokage!" the ninjas below shouted urgently.
"Stop the chatter, let's fight! Kizaru!" Madara Uchiha
