When Aoba and the others arrived, they saw Madara Uchiha break free of all restraints and stand up in a youthful physical form.
Black Zetsu, who was controlling Obito's body, quickly stepped forward, preparing to hand the Rinnegan in his hand to Madara Uchiha.
Aoba knew how dangerous it was for Madara Uchiha to obtain the Rinnegan. He activated Sage Mode, and the Kusanagi Sword in his hand suddenly extended, slashing towards Black Zetsu's arm.
"Hmph." Madara Uchiha coldly and formed hand Hand Seals.
" Fire Release: Majestic Destroyer Flame "
The raging flames instantly engulfed the entire cell, then surged towards the group.
Everyone instinctively used spells to resist. Only Aoba knew something was wrong. He enveloped himself in a whirlwind, deflecting the flames, and forced his way in.
Even without his eyes, Ban was still able to interact with Black Zetsu precisely through his senses. Just as he reached out to take the Rinnegan...
Aoba's longsword struck again. By this time, Aoba's entire body was covered in burns.
After all, he was made of flesh and blood. Even if he could avoid being directly burned by the flames, the flames still injured him as he passed through the sea of fire.
The longsword slashed down. Black Zetsu had no way to dodge and could only choose to Intangibility. Thus, Aoba's longsword and Madara's right hand both missed their mark. He failed to harm Black Zetsu, and Madara failed to obtain the Rinnegan.
Aoba stepped forward, blocking Black Zetsu and Madara. He couldn't let them meet. Otherwise, if Black Zetsu used Kamui to take Madara away, that would be truly disastrous.
At the same time, he flung out more than a dozen Flying Thunder God Kunai from his hands. Kakashi and Minato Namikaze appeared directly around him, surrounding Madara Uchiha.
Meanwhile, Yumi's Wood Clone wasn't idle either. Wood Release: Advent technique, transforming the entire prison into a sea of Wood Release.
Based on the exchange just now, Black Zetsu could have made his move. However, he ultimately couldn't bear to Madara Uchiha, his most important pawn.
If he leaves today, Madara Uchiha, without his eyes, might not be able to leave this place.
Black Zetsu knew the terror of Konoha Ninja. Flying Thunder God, Wood Release, Sage Art —with all of these combined, even Madara Uchiha, without his eyes, might not be able to leave alive.
Once he dies, it will be difficult for Obito to complete the plan with his damaged body alone.
In the original storyline, Obito had also achieved Six Paths Mode. Why Black Zetsu help him, but instead targeted Madara Uchiha?
The reason is that Obito and Madara are ultimately different. They differ in their natural talents.
Obito exerted all his strength and barely managed to support the Ten-Tails, achieving Six Paths Mode. But Madara did it with ease.
At the same time, Madara is also the previous Indra, a direct descendant of Kaguya. In this way, he can better bear Kaguya's chakra.
Therefore, the black piece is a crucial part of the entire plan. Black Zetsu will absolutely not let this piece go unless absolutely necessary.
However, even Black Zetsu found it somewhat troublesome to be surrounded by Aoba and the others.
With three Flying Thunder God combined with Hiruzen Sarutobi Five Element Ninjutsu, there were virtually no weaknesses in his offense and defense.
Most importantly, there's Madara Uchiha. He regained his physical body, but without one eye, his fighting power was actually weakened.
He doesn't have Immortal Body or infinite chakra regeneration; he can still get injured and die. While his potential is high, he still hasn't obtained the Rinnegan.
Aoba waved and made several hand gestures.
Minato and Kakashi understood each other's intentions. The two of them, together with Yumi's Wood Release, surrounded and attacked Black Zetsu. Aoba and Hiruzen Sarutobi were responsible for dealing with Madara Uchiha.
Everyone understood that this battle would determine the fate of the Shinobi World. So without the slightest hesitation, even Madara Uchiha didn't utter a single boastful remark.
He knew very well that Aoba Kamikawa was definitely qualified to be his opponent. If he had regained his Rinnegan, he naturally wouldn't have taken the other party seriously. But now that he hadn't, Aoba Kamikawa had become an extremely dangerous person to him.
However, because he had no eyes, he hadn't actually noticed. Aoba's eyes were also wrapped in bandages. But he had another pair of Mangekyō to assist him. Overall, he was still stronger than Madara.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi should not be underestimated. Moreover, the chakra in this body is stronger than before. For a ninja who practices the Five Element Ninjutsu, an increase in chakra has a huge impact on his strength.
The two joined forces to fight against Madara Uchiha, who had lost his eyes.
At this moment, Amegakure was also in chaos. After all, the highly confidential prison area had suddenly been destroyed and completely sealed off by countless Wood Release techniques. The ninjas outside were at a loss as to what to do.
Those who remained calm were mostly members of the Akatsuki. Kakuzu, who was originally responsible for guarding the gate, had already moved outside the range of Wood Release when Madara Uchiha was resurrected.
He is currently treating Nagato with Konan.
Aoba's attack nearly killed Nagato. However, thanks to the medicine Nagato had drunk earlier, he managed to stay alive.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for long. But at this moment, Black Zetsu took away his Rinnegan. Nagato's Uzumaki body, without the burden of the Rinnegan, actually managed to hold on.
Although he did not wake up, he was not dead either, but remained in a state of shock.
Konan carried Nagato and rushed him into Hiruko's laboratory. At that time, Hiruko was considered the strongest Medical Ninjutsu in Konoha.
After all, someone who studies human modification but doesn't understand Medical Ninjutsu would have been doomed long ago.
"Save him, quick!" Hiruko was one of the most loyal members of the Akatsuki. Mainly because there were abundant research resources here, and they didn't have to worry about being wanted by other ninja villages.
Therefore, without hesitation, Nagato Konan the experimental table and began examining his body.
Kakuzu simply stood guard at the door. He was very loyal to Konan, but at the same time, he had no desire to face Madara Uchiha, so standing here and slacking off was naturally the best option.
The reactions of the other Akatsuki members were also varied.
Shin was a fanatical follower of Aoba, so naturally he helped Aoba without reservation.
Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha and Deidara's teams wanted to find Konan first and assess the situation before making any further moves. However, at that moment, another alarm sounded from Amegakure.
This is an alarm indicating an intrusion.
Meanwhile, Itachi Uchiha, Kisame Hoshigaki, Sasori, and Deidara's group received separate orders: to intercept the invading enemy.
At this moment, outside Amegakure, the enraged Raikage was leading the army of Kumogakure straight towards Amegakure.
Enraged by the Akatsuki's previous Fictional Ruse Technique, the Raikage vowed to annihilate the Akatsuki to avenge the attack.
For a time, Amegakure almost became a battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
