As though he had sensed something, a sensory ninja broke into a cold sweat and cried out in terror, "What is that... such terrifying chakra!"
Two tiny figures flew toward them from the distance, apparently heading straight for their group. Before long, both landed before them. One had a cold, stern face and wore red armor from the Warring States Period, his entire body radiating a suffocating pressure.
"Those two are... Mu and Madara Uchiha!" Gaara's eyes widened. Seeing a face identical to Madara Uchiha's statue at the Valley of the End, he was instantly alarmed.
Especially after noticing the color of this Madara Uchiha's skin and eyes, he suddenly had an ominous feeling. It seemed they had fallen into some enormous conspiracy.
Since Madara Uchiha was the one brought back through Impure World Reincarnation, who was the Masked Man claiming to be "Madara Uchiha"? Why had he used Madara Uchiha's name to start the Fourth Shinobi World War?
Kabuto Yakushi controlled the body of Mu, the Second Tsuchikage, remaining invisible nearby as he observed the battlefield.
Madara Uchiha swept an indifferent gaze over the allied army formed from the various forces of the Five Great Nations. "Setting aside your old prejudices to form this fragile alliance of the Five Great Nations... what a rare sight. Unfortunately... all of this is ultimately nothing but an illusion. Only an eternal dream can preserve this hard-won peace."
Gaara did not answer. He manipulated the sand on the ground, forming a giant hand that reached for Madara Uchiha.
Madara Uchiha leaped lightly aside, avoiding the giant hand of cascading sand. Blue chakra surfaced around him, condensing into the upper body of a skeletal giant six or seven meters tall. With a long sword in each hand, it struck savagely at the surrounding ninja.
