Golden flames slowly kindled along the blade.
Inside the Kamui Alternate Dimension, a white pillar of jutsu light shot skyward from Obito, pierced the spatial barrier, and stabbed into the night sky. Black cursed seals covered his entire body.

The Impure World Reincarnation markings covering him rapidly faded, and his body, originally formed from chakra, swiftly transformed into flesh and blood. Madara's wild laughter pierced the spatial barrier and echoed through the dimension, every word brimming with the arrogance of certain victory.
