Ninja all had their limits!
Even powerhouses like Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were no exception!
But now, an exception had appeared in the Shinobi World-Shihōin Naraku!
"He accomplished nothing in the first half of his life, yet now he's suddenly become this strong?"
Madara Uchiha's tone was full of doubt. Clearly, he was growing ever more curious about Shihōin Naraku's secrets.
"He shouldn't have any kekkei genkai, should he?" Madara asked with a frown.
Black Zetsu shook his head outright. "No!"
He was certain of that. If Shihōin Naraku possessed any kekkei genkai at all, he would have discovered it long ago.
Still, Black Zetsu could understand why Madara had asked.
In the Shinobi World, ninja who possessed kekkei genkai were generally powerful.
Of course, there were exceptions.
But that was also because many ninja's kekkei genkai were not powerful.
And if a ninja who had not been particularly strong suddenly experienced a terrifying increase in strength at some point, he might have awakened his own kekkei genkai!
The Uchiha Clan was a prime example.
There was an enormous gap between ninja who had awakened the Sharingan and ordinary ninja.
And the difference in strength between ninja with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Uchiha ninja who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan was like night and day!
Simply put, every time the Uchiha Clan's kekkei genkai, the Sharingan, awakened to a new level, their strength grew exponentially.
It would not even be an exaggeration to call it an earth-shattering transformation.
That was why Madara Uchiha had suspected Shihōin Naraku possessed a kekkei genkai. After all, that would explain his explosive increase in strength.
But Black Zetsu had given him a negative answer.
That left Madara somewhat puzzled.
But when he turned to look into the distance and saw fewer and fewer
