Space itself warped at that moment. Fierce winds howled above everyone's heads, and a savage presence weighed down on every heart.
Suffocating, imposing, overwhelming!
"Roar!"
A ferocious crimson dragon took tangible shape, roaring as it became a blood-red phantom and charged straight at Madara Uchiha.
Madara's expression changed in an instant.
The technique his opponent unleashed had all but transformed the entire sky. Everything he could see was blood-red, and an enormous dragon's head was hurtling toward him.
"Is that?!"
"The Eight Gates Formation?!"
"Teacher has opened the Gate of Death!!!"
Naturally, some people present recognized the Eight Gates Formation. Realizing what River was doing, their expressions changed.
"Madara!!"
Hashirama Senju also understood how formidable this technique was. Though the Eight Gates Formation demanded an immense price, it possessed unparalleled destructive power.
"Gurararara!"
"Boy, you don't have time to worry about anyone else!"
Directly before him, a towering figure swung a naginata at him, laughing heartily.
Hashirama Senju's expression changed, and he hurriedly dodged. The naginata swept past, almost grazing his scalp, but the force of the strike sheared away half the forest behind him.
This old man is actually this powerful!!
Shocked, Tobirama couldn't help looking at the others ahead, all different in appearance but equally imposing.
"A whole bunch of people of unknown origin!"
Hozuki Gengetsu sighed, his expression grave.
"Let's test their strength first."
Mu spoke in a low voice.
The next second, he shot forward toward the man with the handlebar mustache.
But almost immediately, a clear shout rang across the entire battlefield.
"Divine Departure!"
Mu flew back even faster than he had charged.
The sight shocked everyone even more.
Though they were dead men summoned through Impure World Reincarnation, the power of the people before them still left them horrified.
"Esteemed predecessors, do your part."
