The moment these words fell into his ears, Ning Xue's pupils shrank suddenly.
Cold sweat broke out from his back almost without warning.
The expression under the mask became more solemn and frightened than ever before.
The reason is simple.
His Byakugan was always on from the moment he entered the stronghold, and his vision covered every corner of the ruins.
Whether behind broken walls or in underground pipelines, no Chakra can escape the capture of Byakugan.
But he didn't sense this person at all.
The other party seemed to appear there out of thin air.
He obviously kept driving Byakugan, but he didn't see the other party approaching at all.
Appeared without warning, as if teleporting.
There is a deeper reason.
He knows who this person is.
The originator of Fourth Shinobi World War, Madara Uchiha.
Ning Xue's mind quickly flashed through the scenes he saw on a certain sound, and his heart tightened suddenly.
Almost without any hesitation, he condensed a Ice Blade in his palm.
Ice Blade There was a cold light in the dim light. He bent slightly, lowered his body center of gravity, and aimed at the opponent in an extremely cautious manner.
He didn't take action rashly, but watched his every move defensively.
The reaction of Karin is completely different from that of Ning Xue.
The moment she heard the voice, she was surprised at first.
Maybe my attention has been on Sasuke, so I didn't perceive the other person.
But once I sensed it carefully, I found that for a moment, there was nothing there.
Empty.
She couldn't feel anything, as if what was standing there was a soul without a body.
Her brows were furrowed and her eyes were locked on the other person without making any gesture, but there was a trace of vigilance in her eyes.
The actions of Jugo and Suigetsu were completed almost at the same time.
Jugo didn't ask any further questions. His body partially transformed into Cursed Seal in an instant, and his right arm turned into a sharp blade, blocking Sasuke in front of him.
Suigetsu quickly pulled out Kubikiribōchō from behind, held the broad blade in front of him, and looked sharply at the figure.
Although the three people reacted quickly, they all stood in front of Sasuke at the same time, protecting him behind them.
Sasuke didn't move.
He was sitting by the wall. Although the wounds on his body had begun to heal, his condition was still weak.
He raised his head slightly and looked through the gaps between the figures in front of him at the figure squatting on the stone pillar.
Just for a moment, the atmosphere became tense.
Tobi--
No, it should be said Madara Uchiha--Seeing the looks of these people as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the eyes under the masks narrowed slightly, and then let out a chuckle.
"I originally wanted to talk to you alone, Uchiha...Sasuke."
His exposed eye narrowed slightly, with a hint of regret in his tone, and then the conversation changed and became more casual.
"However, since your companions have arrived early and you don't mind, it would be nice to chat here."
As he spoke, he jumped down from the stone pillar, his movements light and casual, making almost no sound when he landed.
Immediately afterwards, the surface of the stone pillar behind him slowly bulged, and black and white Jue penetrated from the surface of the pillar, standing beside him silently.
Ning Xue When the three of them saw this, they raised their arms slightly in unison, ready to take action at any time.
Sasuke, who was protected behind him by his companions, raised his empty eyes and looked at the masked figure through the gaps between the layers of figures.
His voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of hollow confusion.
"Who... are you?"
Madara Uchiha didn't seem to care at all about the alert posture of the three people. He looked past them and landed on Sasuke, with a calm tone.
"When we meet for the first time, let's introduce ourselves."
As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand and lifted a corner of the mask, revealing a scarlet Sharingan.
"Like you, I am a survivor of the Uchiha Clan."
"He is the one who knows the truth about Uchiha Itachi."
"You can call me, Madara Uchiha."
The moment this name fell into his ears, Karin's pupils shrank suddenly and his body froze for a moment.
Suigetsu's hand holding Kubikiribōchō tightened slightly. Even though he had always been cynical, his expression at this moment became more solemn than ever before.
Jugo said nothing, but a trace of shock that was difficult to conceal flashed across his eyes.
That Asura of the Ninja World, the legendary figure with the same name as Hashirama Senju is still alive, is it true?
But when Sasuke heard these words, his heart seemed to skip a beat.
He stared blankly at the exposed Sharingan with a horrified expression.
But then, without warning, his left eye suddenly turned into Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan.
Madara Uchiha's pupils shrank slightly the moment he saw those eyes, as if he noticed something.
"Could it be-"
Before he finished speaking, black flames suddenly covered his whole body.
"Amaterasu...!"
Black flames burned crazily on the surface of Madara Uchiha's body, slightly distorting the air.
And Madara Uchiha cried out in pain the moment he was burned.
But no matter how hard he struggled, the black flame never went out, burning like a maggot attached to the bone.
Jue stood not far away, but took a step back to avoid the flames from splashing on himself.
He watched Madara Uchiha's performance quietly, his black face expressionless, but his white face slightly revealed a hint of novelty.
After a while, it seemed that Madara Uchiha couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly got back into the stone pillar behind him.
After a few more seconds, he re-entered from another pillar.
The Akatsuki uniform he was wearing had disappeared, replaced by a black sweatshirt under the uniform, and his body looked unscathed.
But after Ning Xue saw this scene, it could no longer be described as "horrified". It could only be said that he saw a ghost in broad daylight.
As for why you say that?
Not because he saw the other party unscathed, but because he saw the process.
In his Byakugan vision, the moment Madara Uchiha drilled into the stone pillar, the whole person disappeared out of thin air in an instant, and the human body's meridians and Chakra were completely invisible.
But when he closed Byakugan and observed it with his naked eyes, he found that the other party was already standing on the other side.
This contradictory feeling made him extremely uneasy.
Byakugan cannot see or feel it, but it can be seen with the naked eye.
Madara Uchiha gently patted the non-existent dust on his body, then raised his head, his eyes fell on Sasuke again, his tone remained calm.
"Amaterasu... It seems that Itachi implanted an insurance policy in you before he died."
He tilted his head slightly and chuckled,
"What a terrifying man. He can still surprise me even after death."
Sasuke looked confused when he saw Amaterasu. He was about to ask what was going on, but saw the other party take the initiative to explain.
(You can understand that Zhuge Qing opened the Qimen but did not see Wang Ye)
