Uchiha Izuna's Appearance! (Double Chapter)

Upon hearing Uchiha Madara's words, the man in the gray hood fell silent.

Beneath the hood, his eyes held an extremely complex expression, and even his usually steady hands were trembling slightly.

It's been so many years since I've seen this face...

"Hiding your head and revealing your tail, your swordsmanship, no matter how good, is nothing more than this."

Seeing that the gray hooded man remained unmoved, Uchiha Madara scoffed disdainfully and slowly clasped his hands together in front of him.

"Brother, after all these years, you haven't changed at all."

The moment a light appeared in Uchiha Madara's palm, the gray hooded figure spoke.

Uchiha Madara's body stiffened, and the light vanished instantly.

The man in the gray hood gave a wry smile and slowly lifted the hood from his head.

When their faces were revealed to the public, everyone gasped.

"You! Aren't you dead?"

"He's definitely dead! That evil guy was personally killed by the Lord Hokage; I was nearby at the time!"

"Have you noticed? This evil fellow looks much younger than when he invaded the village."

On the Konoha side of the Allied Shinobi Forces, every ninja wore a deep look of fear.

Back then, it was this very person who inflicted irreparable wounds on Konoha and even the entire Shinobi World.

They will never forget what he looked like until their dying breath!

Naruto was also shocked, his mouth agape.

Uchiha Izuna!

Uchiha... Uchiha Izuna!

He didn't die! He even appeared on the battlefield!

Sasuke didn't show much surprise.

He had long suspected that Uchiha Izuna was still alive.

It's not that he didn't die, but rather that he died and came back to life...

"Uchiha Izuna! You're still alive?"

Uchiha Madara was overjoyed and quickly floated in front of Uchiha Izuna, grabbing Uchiha Izuna's hand tightly.

"Dead, then alive again."

Uchiha Izuna managed a weak smile.

It's so good to see my brother again.

Pity...

Uchiha Madara was momentarily stunned, and quickly looked him up and down.

After observing for a while, Uchiha Madara's brows furrowed tightly.

Uchiha Izuna was not Impure World Reincarnation; his body was full of vitality and life force.

It was even stronger than his reincarnated body.

"Brother, stop! This isn't what the teacher wants to see."

After thinking it over, Uchiha Izuna decided to try to persuade her brother.

He didn't want to be enemies with his brother, neither in the past nor now.

Uchiha Madara as he looked at the serious Uchiha Izuna, his smile slowly fading away.

Releasing his grip on Madara's hand, Uchiha Madara returned to his icy demeanor.

"Are you here to stop me too, Uchiha Izuna?"

Compared to Hashirama and Tobirama's obstruction, Uchiha Izuna's actions at this moment enraged him even more.

Even his own brother is going to stop him?

"Brother, listen to me, teacher..."

Seeing the change in Uchiha Madara's expression, Uchiha Izuna quickly tried to explain.

"Don't mention the teacher to me!"

Uchiha Madara into a rage, and a ring of energy, almost tangible, surged outwards in all directions.

Uchiha Izuna fought back with all his might, the howling wind making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

"Teacher, teacher, teacher, all you know is 'teacher'! He's gone! He abandoned us! What are you still hoping for?"

With each additional word spoken, the surrounding wind grew fiercer, and Uchiha Madara's expression became even more ferocious.

"No, brother, the teacher didn't..."

I said...

Uchiha Madara stared coldly at Uchiha Izuna.

"Shut up!"

"Boom!"

The biting wind suddenly turned violent, and even though Uchiha Izuna tried his best to resist, it was to no avail. He was blown away by the violent wind in an instant.

Uchiha Madara returned to his previous state, and his body slowly rose into the air.

"If you're helping me, my brother will be very happy. We haven't fought side by side for many years."

"If you're here to catch up, your brother will have plenty of time to talk about the past after he's finished dealing with this."

"If..."

"You've come to stop me, so Uchiha Izuna, you'd better have the ability to defeat me!"

Uchiha Izuna had landed awkwardly, stood up and felt a pang of sorrow as he listened to Uchiha Madara's cold words.

Sure enough, the teacher was right.

The sudden force had overwhelmed the older brother, making his already stubborn ideas even more extreme.

Since that's the case...

"Okay, brother, once I defeat you, I'll explain everything to you properly."

Uchiha Izuna stopped talking and gripped his Ninja Blade tightly.

"Arrogant!"

Uchiha Madara sneered, and purple lightning once again coalesced in front of him.

"Immortal Technique - Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch!"

Tree-like purple lightning instantly filled the entire sky, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked Uchiha Izuna.

Uchiha Izuna took a deep breath, placed his Ninja Blade in front of him, and slowly swung it forward.

"Cut."

The cold, clear voice sounded so small amidst the howling thunder.

The next moment.

"Snap!"

The moment the Ninja Blade was swung, the entire world went dark.

An extremely bright blade of light pierced through the Ninja Blade, appearing as if it were a tangible object.

The crystal-clear blade gleamed with a dazzling light like stars.

The surrounding air was completely evaporated, and the space itself seemed to be under some kind of pressure, collapsing and forming a net-like pattern.

Sasuke's eyes were fixed on the blade.

Compared to Uchiha Izuna during his invasion of Konoha, the current Uchiha Izuna is undoubtedly much stronger.

His swordsmanship is no longer confined to specific moves, but focuses more on "momentum"!

It draws upon the power of heaven and earth, the power of rivers, and the power of sand dunes!

It takes all things as its foundation and itself as its vehicle.

Such swordsmanship can no longer be called swordsmanship.

It has far exceeded the scope of swordsmanship!

"Thump!"

The two collided, producing a deep, muffled thud.

The world seemed to stand still.

The wind has stopped.

The clouds have dispersed.

Even the hearts of the Allied Shinobi Forces momentarily stopped beating.

At this moment, only the dazzling blade light and the menacing purple lightning remained between heaven and earth!

"Splash!"

The next instant, a cloud of dust billowed up into the sky, forcefully breaking through the thick dark clouds, and bright sunlight shone down on the sand dunes, illuminating everyone's faces.

"Boom!"

The sunlight appeared for only a moment before thick, dark clouds enveloped the sky again, and large raindrops poured down.

At that moment, Uchiha Izuna's Ninja Blade shattered into pieces!

Uchiha Madara at his younger brother in shock.

With that stab, he truly felt a deadly threat.

If he hadn't used his full power in this Yin Release: Lightning Dispatch, with the same force as he used against Hashirama, he would probably be dead by now, wouldn't he?

Uchiha Madara immediately became suspicious and uncertain.

Uchiha Izuna's gaze shifted to the bare hilt of the sword, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

His strike, which he had channeled all his strength into, was still blocked so easily.

Right now, he has absolutely no strength left in his body.

The moment he shifted his gaze, he had exhausted all his remaining strength.

We lost...

They lost after all...

The battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

A long time.

"Uchiha Izuna, this must have been your full-force strike, right?"

Uchiha Madara's expression became extremely complicated.

Uchiha Izuna learned his teacher's swordsmanship, Senju Hashirama learned his teacher's benevolence, Senju Tobirama learned his teacher's wisdom.

What about him?

Vicious?

Insidious?

Uchiha Izuna gave a bitter laugh, the bare hilt of his sword sliding limply to the ground, and he sat down on the sand.

"You're right, brother. That was indeed my all-out strike, but it's still no match for you."

Uchiha Madara slightly.

The attack just now happened in an instant.

But only he knew the dangers involved.

So close...

"Hashirama, it's all up to you now."

With difficulty, Uchiha Izuna turned his head to look at Hashirama behind him.

At this moment, Hashirama was still in a daze, looking completely lost and bewildered.

"Rely on me? My methods have failed, I..."

"The teacher said..."

"You did a great job!"

Uchiha Izuna forced an ugly smile and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Hashirama raised his head in confusion, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

The teacher said?

When did the teacher say that?

Uchiha Madara also heard these words, and his breathing immediately became heavier.

"Uchiha Izuna, what did you say? When did the teacher say that?"

He said it very urgently, and his expression was also very eager.

Three months ago.

In short, it was earth-shattering!

Hashirama was dumbfounded.

Uchiha Madara.

Three months ago???

Uchiha Izuna...

I saw the teacher three months ago?

"I was able to be resurrected because of my teacher's help."

Ignoring their shocked expressions, Uchiha Izuna continued, "It wasn't just me; the Impure World Reincarnation of Hashirama and Tobirama was also arranged by the teacher."

Uchiha Izuna looked directly at her brother, "Teacher knows that you will use Nagato to make a comeback, and even the appearance of the Ten-Tails, and your becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, is also part of Teacher's plan."

"Whoosh!"

Uchiha Madara speed, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.

You're saying the teacher knows all about it?

"Of course, what can be hidden from a teacher?"

Uchiha Izuna smiled weakly. "Even my defeat was within his expectations, wasn't it?"

Uchiha Izuna recalled the words his teacher had told him when he was first resurrected.

"I will stop my brother!"

He made that promise to the teacher with such certainty.

"Come on."

The teacher simply smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and then disappeared.

Where is he now?

Uchiha Madara spoke impatiently, pressing his hands tightly against Uchiha Izuna's shoulders.

The force was so great that it crushed the armor on Uchiha Izuna's shoulder.

Hashirama stared intently at him, his face filled with hope.

"Have no idea."

Uchiha Izuna lowered his head helplessly.

He also wanted to know where the teacher was.

He always felt insecure without a teacher by his side.

This feeling has nothing to do with one's own strength, but rather a sense of loss from having no one to rely on.

Uchiha Madara's expression froze, and his arms trembled slightly.

Hashirama's hopeful gaze dimmed.

The teacher is...

Don't you want to see them?

Did I disappoint my teacher?

This feeling wasn't unique to Hashirama; even Uchiha Madara felt the same way.

The group was in low spirits, each lost in their own thoughts.

No one noticed that a dark shadow slowly emerged from the sand dunes not far away.

"Hehehe, I've finally succeeded! Soon I'll be able to break Mom's seal! I'm Mom's good eldest son!"

Black Zetsu's sinister face slowly emerged from the ground, silently approaching Uchiha Madara.

Soon, Black Zetsu was within arm's reach of Uchiha Madara.

Uchiha Madara was already deep in thought.

The news of the teacher's appearance was a huge shock to him.

Big to...

His fighting instincts were starting to dull.

Black Zetsu's figure slowly emerged, his dark arm silently reaching towards Uchiha Madara's back.

Give it to me!

A roar erupted from his mouth, carrying decades of pent-up frustration.

A slight gust of wind sounded behind Uchiha Madara, and by the time he instinctively tried to levitate, it was already too late.

"You dare to challenge my student?"

Just as Black Zetsu was about to pierce Uchiha Madara's heart, a cold voice rang out at the same moment.

Black Zetsu wanted to turn around, but his body was completely out of his control. He could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Madara dodged his attack and floated into the air.

Years of planning...

But at the very moment of impending success...

All our efforts were in vain!

"Shh..."

Footsteps crunched on the soft sand as the owner of the voice strolled leisurely forward.

"Scene!"

Naruto's suppressed emotions suddenly eased the moment he saw Uchiha Kei.

Although Sasuke didn't say anything, the relieved expression on his face betrayed him.

There's scenery...

The Shinobi World will not be Destruction.

Uchiha Madara, Hashirama, and Uchiha Izuna all stared intently at Uchiha Madara.

Hashirama's eyes turned bloodshot, and tears streamed uncontrollably down his cheeks.

Uchiha Izuna exhaled a breath of stale air and lay down on the cold sand dune.

Finally...

Hold on until the teacher arrives.

"They've finally arrived."

Obito, wearing a mask, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Uchiha Kei slowly approaching.

The plan was proceeding smoothly according to Uchiha Kei's arrangements.

But the most important step was his appearance.

If Uchiha Kei hadn't appeared, the Shinobi World would have truly been doomed.

"Are you waiting for the First Twilight Shadow?"

Kakashi overheard Obito's mutterings and immediately frowned deeply.

In an instant, he seemed to realize something and looked at Obito with some shock.

"You... you've been working with the First Twilight Shadow all along? This whole scene was part of your plan?"

"You're not stupid."

Obito snorted coldly, too lazy to even turn his head to look at him.

"Why did the First... start the war...?"

Kakashi was instantly confused.

In his memory, Uchiha Kei had always been the kind of person who was lazy and would never plan such a big battle for power.

So what was his motive?

Obito ignored him, his gaze fixed on Uchiha Kei.

He wanted to know...

What exactly was the horrifying thing that Uchiha Kei said back then...?

Is it true?
