Aizen then slightly turned his head and gave Jörmungandr a look.
Jörmungandr standing nearby, immediately understood Aizen's meaning and vanished from the spot in an instant.
The next moment, Jörmungandr, dressed in the white robes of the Light Organization, appeared in front of Madara Uchiha and raised his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, to smash it into Lord Madara's face.
It's hard to imagine that the two sides, who were just having a nice chat, would suddenly start fighting.
However, such a sneak attack was child's play for the battle- Madara Uchiha.
He slightly turned his body and tilted his head, dodging Jörmungandr's sudden attack. Then, he raised his right leg and kicked lightly, his right leg landing heavily on Jörmungandr's body.
Fortunately Jörmungandr reacted quickly. Upon seeing Madara Uchiha's attack, he switched from offense to defense, immediately crossing his arms in an X shape to protect his chest.
With a muffled thud, Jörmungandr was kicked away by Madara Uchiha.
Because of timely protection, Jörmungandr was not injured even when attacked by Madara. After spinning a few times in the air, he landed safely on the ground.
Seeing Jörmungandr unharmed, Lord Madara crossed his arms and commented arrogantly, "Not bad speed, but your accuracy and power are far from sufficient. Don't try to show off your Taijutsu in front of me. You still have a long way to go."
In reality, Jörmungandr's attacks aren't as weak as Madara claims. An ordinary Jonin would be lucky to even react to Jörmungandr's attacks, let alone retaliate. Even Kage Level shinobi would easily suffer greatly from Jörmungandr's swift and sudden attacks.
But there was nothing he could do; he was facing Madara Uchiha, who was near the pinnacle of the Shinobi World. Such an attack was child's play in front of Madara.
"Then I should thank you for the compliment, Madara-senpai. But be careful, Madara-senpai, my skills aren't limited to Taijutsu."
Realizing that his Taijutsu were completely inadequate against Madara, Jörmungandr n't dwell on it and immediately changed his offensive strategy.
He quickly Hand Seals and positioned them in front of Madara Uchiha.
" Dark Release: Violent Windstorm "
A deep purple storm suddenly appeared in his palm, howling as it blew toward Madara Uchiha's location.
This storm was both powerful and strange, possessing the cutting properties of ordinary Wind Release, as well as the ability to absorb Chakra.
Obito, who was not far away, felt his Chakra decrease by more than half just from being lightly brushed by the air currents generated by the storm.
However, Lord Madara remained calm and collected as he watched the approaching Dark Release storm, his brows furrowed with disdain, as if he were looking down on this formidable attack.
Just as the deep purple storm was about to hit him, Lord Madara finally moved.
His movements were as fast as lightning; with lightning speed, he grabbed an iron fan from behind him and held it horizontally in front of him.
In an instant, the iron fan emitted a dazzling light, and then the powerful Dark Release Storm disappeared.
The next second, Madara Uchiha uttered a soft shout, " Uchiha Reflection!"
"Boom!"
Instantly, an extremely powerful shockwave, carrying intense light, erupted from the iron fan, carving a trench in the flat ground before shooting towards Jörmungandr.
Jörmungandr narrowed his eyes. To be honest, he didn't expect that his attack would be so easily neutralized by Madara, and even used against him.
He hadn't expected Madara to react so quickly, leaving him no time to dodge and only able to try his best to defend himself.
So, Jörmungandr intercepted the incoming shockwave, extending his hands to meet it and shouting, " Dark Release: Inhaling Maw!"
Immediately afterwards, the runes on Jörmungandr's palm glowed red, and a powerful suction force suddenly appeared, drawing the surging shockwave into his palm.
This scene caught Madara Uchiha's eye, and he showed a look of great interest.
" Dark Release? Interesting. Looks like he's not an ordinary ninja."
The ninjas who could block his attacks were already beyond the category of weaklings, barely deserving of his praise.
It's important to know that Lord Madara has extremely high standards; he wouldn't even look at most Kage Level shinobi. For Jörmungandr to receive Lord Madara's praise means he's surpassed most of the strong shinobi in the Shinobi World.
However, Jörmungandr was completely unmoved by Lord Madara's praise; instead, he frowned slightly, feeling quite troubled.
After their brief exchange, Jörmungandr that with his current strength, it would be difficult to inflict any damage on Madara Uchiha.
" Madara-senpai is truly still going strong despite his age. He easily blocked my companion's attack and even turned the situation around to attack. It's truly admirable. It seems we underestimated Madara-senpai's strength."
Therefore, in order to achieve our goal, and to ensure Madara-senpai Madara-senpai with dignity, we have decided to go all out and play a funeral Madara-senpai for him.
Aizen to the side, also realized how difficult Lord Madara was to deal with, understanding that simple methods would not be effective against him.
Moreover, after Jörmungandr's probing, he had already discerned a hint of Lord Madara's true strength.
So without hesitation, he let the others join in.
As soon as he finished speaking, the other members of the Light Organization sprang into action.
Setsugetsu made the first move. She stretched out her right hand, and a chilling aura suddenly emanated from her palm. Five extremely sharp ice crystal spears instantly condensed in the void and shot towards Madara Uchiha with a wave of Setsugetsu's hand.
Besides Setsugetsu taking action, Setsuna wasn't idle either; he quickly Hand Seals, unleashing " Lightning Release: Earth Flow ".
A dazzling blue lightning bolt suddenly appeared on his body and then shot out towards the spot.
At the same time, Jörmungandr was not to be outdone, and also raised his hand to unleash a deep purple storm containing Dark Release.
In an instant, ice spears, lightning, and storms attacked Madara Uchiha with unstoppable force.
This combined attack gave Jörmungandr and his group considerable confidence; they knew that if Madara Uchiha chose to continue using the Gunbai to defend, it would certainly surprise him.
It's a pity, I don't know if Lord Madara saw the formidable power of Jörmungandr's attacks, or if he felt there was no need to use Gunbai to defend against them.
He put his arm behind his back and slung the Gunbai behind his back.
Immediately following, an extremely powerful, even visible, blue Chakra erupted from his body, rapidly forming a Chakra skeleton.
The next moment, Setsugetsu and the others' combined attack collided directly with the blue skeleton formed by Madara Uchiha.
With a deafening roar, the dark cave was instantly illuminated by the Kakkō from the explosion of the Release Technique.
A violent tremor immediately followed, causing numerous cracks to appear in the cave ceiling and sending up a cloud of dust.
Even though the attack had successfully hit its mark, Jörmungandr and the others' expressions remained serious, because they knew that although their attack was powerful, whether it could break through Susanoo's defenses remained to be seen.
After all, the defensive power of Susanoo is well-known, especially since it was cast by Madara Uchiha.
Sure enough, Madara Uchiha's powerful voice of praise could be heard coming from the sandstorm.
"You guys are indeed extraordinary, you've rekindled a long-lost fighting spirit in me. It seems this Shinobi World isn't really as boring as it seems."
Suddenly, a gust of wind howled, and a huge blue arm extended out from the sand and dust, dispersing the dust that filled the cave.
After the dust settled, Madara Uchiha was seen standing unharmed in the same spot. The blue skeleton that had been wrapped around his body had disappeared, replaced by a half-body samurai clad in armor.
"As a privilege to have been seen by me, I will offer my death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the armored half-warrior stretched out his arm, and four blue Tomoe appeared in his palm. He then hurled them toward Jörmungandr's location.
" Yasaka Tomoe "
This ability, which was used against the Five Kage during the Fourth Shinobi World War in the original story, was used by Madara Uchiha.
Faced with such an attack, before anyone else could make a move, Setsugetsu went straight to the Yasaka Tomoe and slammed both hands into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a massive ice wall radiating a chilling aura rose from the ground.
This is not the ice wall that was weakened after being used against Jiraiya.
The ice wall that Setsugetsu unleashed this time was far thicker and harder than ever before. Even if Jiraiya attacked again, he would absolutely not be able to break it unless he could use Senjutsu to attack.
The next second, the blue-glowing Yasaka no Tomoe crashed straight into the ice wall released by Setsugetsu, but something surprising happened to Jörmungandr and the others.
The Yasaka no Tomoe through the hard, thick ice wall as easily as cutting through tofu, and continued its trajectory towards Jörmungandr without losing momentum.
This situation was beyond Jörmungandr's imagination, and he was completely caught off guard.
Just as the Yasaka Tomoe was about to strike Jörmungandr, Setsuna stepped forward.
His eyes widened, Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan instantly appeared in his eye sockets. As his pupil power flowed, orange Chakra wrapped around Setsuna's surface.
A half-samurai clad in armor and radiating an orange glow materialized and stood in front of the Yasaka Tomoe.
Then, with a loud "boom," an explosion occurred, and a powerful shockwave suddenly appeared, stirring up a considerable amount of dust.
It blurred the vision of everyone on the field.
However, this little bit of sand and dust was nothing to Madara Uchiha; what caught his attention more was the orange samurai who suddenly appeared before him.
"This is... Susanoo? So, those eyes are the Mangekyō Sharingan? No, that's not right, those patterns... it's the Eternal Eye!!!"
Even Madara Uchiha was usually unflappable, couldn't maintain his initial composure.
The Eternal Eye in his Setsuna caused a surge of emotions within him, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.
As the mastermind behind the Shinobi World, Madara Uchiha boasted that everything was within his plan, and even when Aizen sneaked in today, he remained completely unfazed.
But the appearance of the Eternal Eye was truly beyond his expectations.
He never expected that the Uchiha Clan would have Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
It's important to know that although he outwardly claimed to be indifferent to the Uchiha Clan, he secretly had White Zetsu keep a close eye on them.
He knew that if anyone in the Shinobi World could influence his plans, it would be Mangekyō who might emerge from the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, he had been paying close attention to the Uchiha Clan all along, keeping in mind any potential geniuses in the Uchiha Clan who might awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan. However, he had never discovered anyone who had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But today, a member of the Light Organization actually displayed the Mangekyō Sharingan, and even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which made him feel for the first time that his plan had gone terribly wrong.
"Who are you, or rather, who are you all, and how did you obtain the Eternal Eye?"
Uchiha's gaze swept intently over the members of the Light Organization in the distance.
With Dark Release, Ice Release, the Eternal Eye, and an unknown Devil Fruit user, this organization, encompassing so many powerful individuals, is definitely not ordinary.
Moreover, this organization appeared in the Shinobi World without a sound, and quietly produced a pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.
After that, will they quietly develop Wood Release and the Rinnegan again?
Madara couldn't predict the future, but he was certain that this organization was definitely an obstacle to his Eye of the Moon Plan.
" Madara-senpai, since you were able to obtain eternal light from your younger brother, it's understandable that we would follow your example and obtain the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. As for who we are..."
Aizen paused, chuckled softly, and continued, " Madara-senpai, you call yourself the Uchiha spirit caught between reality and hell, while we are the reformers hidden in the shadows of Shinobi World history. Madara-senpai wanted to achieve peace through the Eye of the Moon Plan, while we hope to achieve peace through unprecedented reforms. In a sense, we share the same goal."
Upon hearing Aizen's words, Madara Uchiha's expression immediately became quite interesting.
He hadn't expected that Aizen not only knew he had obtained the Eternal Eye from his younger brother, but also that they knew about the Eye of the Moon Plan.
That's terrifying! Luckily, the members of the Light Organization slipped up today, otherwise he wouldn't have known that such a mysterious organization had been hiding in the Shinobi World along.
However, it's hard to be sure whether Aizen is telling the truth or not. Perhaps their information came from the Six Paths Stone Tablet within the Uchiha Clan.
"Heh, you only got this information from a stone tablet at the Naka Shrine in the Uchiha Clan. To pretend to be some ancient organization in front of me is truly laughable. I suspect that all that information was given to you by the owner of the Eternal Eye."
Upon hearing Madara Uchiha say this, Aizen instantly realized that this was Lord Madara testing him.
He could tell that Madara Uchiha's heart was wavering. After all, someone who had always believed himself to be the mastermind behind many events in the Shinobi World was suddenly told by someone that his deeds had been observed by another group of people.
Such a situation would alarm anyone.
This panic was exactly what Aizen wanted, because he wanted to give the Light Organization a plausible explanation for its origins.
The reason is simple: he knows that the Light Organization's massive actions today have definitely attracted the attention of Black Zetsu, the true mastermind of the Shinobi World.
He needs to make the Light Organization a target to attract Black Zetsu, allowing the real Kōki to completely hide behind the scenes.
Only in this way can we prevent Black Zetsu from causing trouble regarding the main body.
So now, Madara's wavering is precisely the opportunity for him to deceive, or rather, to explain the unfathomable background of the Light Organization.
