The flames of ninja war: victory through surprise!

Madara was not the only trump card to emerge from Yu's Space-Time Dimension!

The figures standing ahead were none other than... Uchiha Madara, Hashirama Senju, Uzumaki Mito, Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Reto, Ōnoki of Both Scales, Hozuki Gengetsu, and Monzaemon!

"There's no need..." Yu murmured. Of the ten clusters of sage fire floating behind him, seven flew out to protect the Seven of the Dark Hidden Ninja Kingdom, while the remaining three flew out to protect the Nine-Tails. "Under the protection of my Senjutsu Chakra, Kamui's permeation will work for them
