Amidst a sky full of fist shadows, accompanied by a chilling whistling sound, the Allied Shinobi Forces below were blown about in all directions.
Naruto narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the battle in mid-air.
As expected of a legendary figure, this battle was truly earth-shattering!
It's all about splitting mountains and shattering the earth, with winds whipping up clouds—it's countless times more intense than battles between Kage Level fighters!
Sasuke strained to keep his eyes open, his crimson Mangekyou Mangekyo spinning rapidly, trying to capture every movement between the two.
Uchiha Kei once told him that to win a battle, you have to draw your opponents into your fighting rhythm.
Once you control the pace of the battle, the balance of power will essentially tip in your favor.
Controlling the rhythm of battle requires a lot of combat experience.
Over the years, he followed Uchiha Kei, traveling all over the country and experiencing many battles.
He had only seen a few people like Hashirama and Madara.
This is a rare opportunity, so we must memorize their fighting styles!
As time went on, the battle between the two giants intensified, Sasuke closed his eyes in frustration.
The fight between the two started out fairly normally.
But gradually, he found that he could understand their fight less and less.
With hands clasped together and a shout, Ninjutsu is unleashed?
After being beaten to a pulp, he's back to full of energy in no time?
This...
Is this the normal action of a ninja?
That's so sexy!
Given that the battle between the two could not be replicated, Sasuke could only close his eyes and rest.
It's completely useless, what's the point of looking at it!
On a hillside not far from the battle vortex.
"Uchiha Obito, you're the one who orchestrated all of this, aren't you?"
Kakashi's gaze was icy as he stared intently at his old friend who had put the mask back on.
Apart from half a face that he could never forget for the rest of his life, Kakashi could not find a trace of his former self in Obito today.
Obito glanced at him coldly, snorted disdainfully, and turned his gaze back to the battlefield.
"Speak up! What exactly do you want?"
Kakashi's voice grew louder, and his exposed eyes turned crimson.
In his memory, Uchiha Obito was still that helpful, somewhat silly boy.
And now?
Cold-blooded, brutal, and arrogant!
This Uchiha Obito is unacceptable to him!
"For what? Kakashi, don't you find that ridiculous?"
Obito's patience reached its limit, and his gaze instantly turned fierce.
"I saved you back then, and I even gave you the eye that made you famous!"
Beneath the mask, Obito's expression turned ferocious.
"Copy Ninja Kakashi, hehehe, what a prestigious name!"
These words were practically Obito out of Obito's throat, filled with murderous intent!
Kakashi was taken aback by what he was said, and then lowered his head slightly.
This eye earned him the title of Copy Ninja, making him a formidable figure throughout the Shinobi World.
That's what the outside world thinks.
But what is the reality?
The benefits this Sharingan brought him were far outweighed by the harms it brought.
A Sharingan that can't be closed.
A "money-devouring beast" that constantly consumes Chakra.
He was once a rare genius in Konoha!
Even without this eye, he could still have reached his current level.
Even stronger!
But can he say these things?
Cannot!
This eye Obito's sincerest friendship to him!
All he could do now was lower his head and let Obito vent his anger.
Maybe...
After venting his anger, did the old Uchiha Obito return?
"Boom!"
A deafening roar erupted on the battlefield.
Dust filled the sky, countless rocks shattered, and the battlefield was plunged into darkness.
"So... so strong!"
Naruto witnessed the whole thing, and now his mouth is wide open, letting the sand and dust enter his mouth.
Sasuke cold and aloof face was now filled with astonishment and disbelief.
If the battle Hashirama and Madara just now was breathtaking...
What just happened was a battle that felt like it wasn't from the human world!
After the two colossal beings collided at high speed, both unleashed their full power.
However, Hashirama and Madara then simultaneously chose to detonate all of their Chakra.
The two enormous figures glowed and exploded on the earth with a deafening roar, the energy they generated giving onlookers a sense of the end of the world!
This is...
The legendary battle between the two...
That's terrifying!
Everyone who witnessed the two fighting had the same thought simultaneously on their minds.
It's no wonder they were so surprised; the way these two fought was truly terrifying!
The simultaneous explosion of two colossal objects, each roughly the size of a mountain, produced horrific consequences.
At the very least, very few are still standing on the entire battlefield.
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, what came into view was a bottomless, enormous pit.
Within a radius of 100 meters from the center of the giant crater, there was not a single person able to breathe.
In mid-air, specks of grayish-white matter are gradually condensing.
After a short while, Madara and Hashirama reappeared.
"The Impure World Reincarnation, that's quite interesting."
He reached out his hand, examined the body's condition, and sincerely admired it.
Hashirama nodded in deep agreement.
Aside from being unable to feel alive, they only dare to unleash such desperate Ninjutsu under the Impure World Reincarnation.
If the two were still alive, they wouldn't dare to use such Ninjutsu.
"Alright, enough playing around, it's time to officially begin."
As if sensing something, a smile appeared on Madara's face.
Hashirama, puzzled, scratched his head.
Is it officially starting?
What should we begin?
Outside the white rice, Naruto and Sasuke were equally confused.
Only Senju Tobirama frowned deeply.
Compared to Hashirama, he knew more about Uchiha Madara.
This evil fellow has never done anything he wasn't sure of since he was a child.
Anything Uchiha Madara did was meticulously planned, taking into account every possible possibility.
This is one of the reasons why he was wary of Uchiha Madara.
This guy...
He's strong and intelligent; how could his older brother possibly outmaneuver him?
At the same time.
In a cave not far from the battlefield.
Nagato, already extremely weak, coughed violently, while Konan watched him with concern.
Nagato calmly wiped her mouth. "Konan, it's alright."
"But your body..."
Konan's eyes were filled with sadness.
She knew that soon she would lose another friend.
My only friend...
"It's alright." Nagato waved his hand, his weariness replaced by fervor. "I'd trade my life for lasting peace in the entire Shinobi World. It's worth it!"
Konan's lips twitched, but she ultimately didn't utter any words to persuade him to stay.
She knew her only friend all too well.
From the day Pain died, Nagato followed him to the afterlife.
Now all that remains is the shell that fulfilled Pain's wish.
So many years...
He was too tired.
Konan's eyes dimmed, and scenes from their childhood unconsciously surfaced in her mind.
Perhaps...
She should go too.
Join Nagato in another world to find the boy who left us too soon...
Seemingly sensing something, Nagato didn't turn around and said directly, "Konan, after I'm gone, Akatsuki is in your hands."
"I..."
Konan was about to refuse when Nagato interrupted her, "After all, Akatsuki was founded by that guy."
Konan was speechless for a moment.
A dry wind suddenly blew in from outside the cave, causing the powerful Nagato to shiver.
With a wry smile, Nagato shook his head, his gaze gradually hardening.
His health is deteriorating; he won't last much longer.
Should...
Here we go!
