"Let's begin."

In the dimly lit cave, Uchiha Madara sat cross-legged on the ground, addressing a woman wearing a Kusagakure headband, her body half-covered by a pitch-black substance.

"Yes, Madara-sama," Black Zetsu said with a respectful nod.

He had invaded the Grass ninja's body, and now he was in control of it.

"Dragon Life Reincarnation!"

Black Zetsu controlled the Grass ninja to form hand seals, then pressed his hands, radiating life light, against Uchiha Madara's body, transferring all of the Grass ninja's vitality to Madara.

Under the infusion of powerful vitality, a flush appeared on Uchiha Madara's pale, wrinkled old face, and his wrinkles gradually diminished.

Meanwhile, the Grass ninja's body aged visibly, eventually becoming decrepit and senile.

After exhausting the Grass ninja's vitality, Black Zetsu immediately emerged from the body and asked Uchiha Madara:

"Madara-sama, how do you feel now?"

Dragon Life Reincarnation was their backup plan, because ordinary vitality transfer could not truly restore youth; at most it provided a temporary boost to the body.

"My power is gradually returning. Not much, but enough," Uchiha Madara said calmly, opening his eyes.

His current state was naturally far from his peak, but this time his opponent was not Hashirama Senju but Hanyu Muyue, so it was definitely sufficient.

"According to White Zetsu's intel, Hanyu Muyue's unit should be about to encounter the Iwagakure forces.

Madara-sama, after you absorb the Gedo Statue's chakra and get used to your current body, you'll be able to encounter a battle-weary Hanyu Muyue," Black Zetsu explained his plan.

Although Uchiha Madara had always been just a step behind Hashirama Senju, Black Zetsu felt it was safer to deplete Muyue's chakra first.

"No need for that," Uchiha Madara said with a disdainful smile, walking up to the Gedo Statue and rapidly forming hand seals.

Just a brat in his early twenties, how could he warrant such scheming? He was already prepared to act personally.

As Uchiha Madara formed the seals, a beam of light shot from the Gedo Statue's mouth, striking Madara's body.

Then Uchiha Madara's gaze fell on the special White Zetsu with a spiral body.

Ah Fei was the most special White Zetsu, capable of spreading his body to envelop a ninja and enhance their overall abilities.

He was too old now. To restore sufficient strength, he not only needed powerful vitality and the Gedo Statue's chakra, but also Ah Fei's enhancement.

Ah Fei immediately understood Uchiha Madara's intention and spread his body to cover Madara.

Uchiha Madara clenched his fist, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth. As he had aged, his power had gradually weakened, but now he finally regained a bit of his former feeling.

"Madara-sama, what does the urge to defecate feel like?" Ah Fei couldn't help asking curiously.

"Shut up and don't talk," Uchiha Madara said expressionlessly.

If he suddenly said something like that while fighting Hanyu Muyue, wouldn't it tarnish Uchiha Madara's reputation.

"Where is Hanyu Muyue?" Uchiha Madara asked, looking at Black Zetsu.

"He should be in the area of Aoki Forest," Black Zetsu replied.

"But Madara-sama, don't you really need to familiarize yourself with your power?"

"Don't I know my own body?" Uchiha Madara replied calmly, then burst out with chakra, charging out of the cave and heading straight for Aoki Forest.

He couldn't wait to test the mettle of Hanyu Muyue, the second Wood Release ninja.

Watching Uchiha Madara quickly disappear from sight, Black Zetsu's expression turned sour. "Truly arrogant, and he's just a puppet being controlled by me."

He refuses a chance to take advantage, insisting on confronting a fresh Hanyu Muyue head-on. What's the point other than adding unnecessary variables?

"But it's just Hanyu Muyue, there shouldn't be any problems," Black Zetsu recalled the intel on Hanyu Muyue.

Although Hanyu Muyue has many abilities, he's still too young and hasn't exceeded the scope of a regular ninja. Even if Uchiha Madara isn't at his peak, he should be able to handle him.

After approaching Aoki Forest, Uchiha Madara immediately locked onto the golden-haired ninja with the strongest aura on the field, scrutinizing Muyue without any attempt to hide it.

Muyue returned Uchiha Madara's gaze, staring directly into his three-tomoe Sharingan, sizing up the mysterious black-robed figure who had suddenly entered the battlefield.

Name: Uchiha Madara

Chakra: Potential: SS (Six Paths Bloodline, Hashirama Cells, base talent)

Skills: Fire Nature Chakra Transformation (Proficient: /), Earth Nature Chakra Transformation (Proficient), Water Nature Chakra Transformation (Proficient), Wind Nature Chakra Transformation (Proficient), Lightning Nature, Yin Nature, Yang Nature, Wood Release (Proficient)…

Without a doubt, it was the most powerful status panel Muyue had ever seen.

Surpassing a Tailed Beast's chakra amount, top-tier potential of SS. Only the skills section surprised Muyue a little, because Uchiha Madara's Fire Release hadn't reached Perfect level.

He thought it over carefully—although Uchiha Madara's Fire Release was still impressive in terms of showmanship, it had no notable battle record. Terumi Mei's Water Release would be enough to extinguish it, so not having Perfect level was actually reasonable.

Moreover, Uchiha Madara's strength didn't lie in Fire Release; it was a combination of ninjutsu, Sharingan, and chakra.

Muyue guessed that if the Sharingan counted as a skill, Uchiha Madara should have a Perfect-level Sharingan.

"And this isn't even his peak—how ridiculous," Muyue sighed inwardly.

Although he didn't know what method Uchiha Madara had used, no matter what it was, Madara couldn't fully recover to his peak. At best, he could temporarily restore part of his strength; otherwise, why would Madara bother cultivating an heir? He'd just go seize the Tailed Beasts himself.

Name: Hanyu Muyue

Chakra: (???)

Skills: Wood Release (Perfect), Fire Nature Chakra Transformation (Perfect), Water Nature Chakra Transformation (Perfect), Armament Haki (Perfect), Thunder Breathing (Perfect), Water Breathing (Perfect)…

Glancing at his own status panel, Muyue silently sighed. This 890,000 chakra was enough to overwhelm the vast majority of ninja, but compared to Uchiha Madara's 39 million, it was like a small fish compared to a great whale.

The time left for him to develop was still too short. If his disciples could cultivate for another ten years, Muyue's chakra, even if not equal to Uchiha Madara's, wouldn't lag that far behind.

Actually, it was mainly Nagato. The chakra feedback from all the other disciples combined wasn't even half of what Nagato gave.

Muyue was glad he had taken the risk back then to find Nagato and take him as a disciple; otherwise, the gap would be even more enormous now.

The two locked eyes, and half a second after their gazes met, they attacked simultaneously without any warning.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both figures flickered, rapidly closing in on each other at a speed difficult for ordinary people to track.

While running, Uchiha Madara extended pitch-black chakra rods from the palms of both hands.

Meanwhile, Muyue took Enma out from the system space.

These black chakra rods had the effect of disrupting chakra, so they couldn't be touched with the body.

Muyue burst out chakra, gripped Enma tightly, and leaped abruptly. The sharp blade sliced through the air, producing a piercing whistle, aiming straight for Uchiha Madara's throat.

Uchiha Madara still wore a calm expression. He lightly tapped the ground, sidestepped his body at an impossible angle, easily dodging the lethal blow, and at the same time thrust his black rod fiercely forward, bringing a fierce wind pressure straight at Muyue's waist.

But Muyue had already activated the Transparent World and Byakugan, predicting Uchiha Madara's counterattack in advance. He rapidly adjusted his posture, lifting his blade in a flowing motion, tracing a brilliant silver arc that collided violently with the black rod in midair, producing a loud "clang" and sending sparks flying in all directions.

The tremendous force shook both of them, each taking several steps back.

Uchiha Madara noticed the notch on his black rod and raised his estimation of Muyue a little. At the very least, in taijutsu, Muyue wasn't bad.

Uchiha Madara's sudden appearance caught the attention of both sides' units, because the person he attacked was Muyue, who had just used the Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees.

"Who is that? Did Senior Lie Shi arrange for another powerhouse to guard against unforeseen events?" Since Uchiha Madara attacked Muyue as soon as he arrived, Kitsuchi assumed he was an Iwa-nin.

Only able to see his back, Kitsuchi didn't see Uchiha Madara's Sharingan.

After observing out of the corner of his eye for a while, Kitsuchi felt it didn't seem right.

He knew all the strong ninja of Iwagakure, and there was no need for a disguise on this occasion.

"Such strong chakra! And is that a Three-Tomoe Sharingan?" Kakashi, who had activated the Transparent World, felt Uchiha Madara's chakra and his expression became extremely serious.

This mysterious black-robed person wearing a white spiral mask actually had chakra even stronger than a Jinchuuriki's, and even possessed the Uchiha clan's Sharingan.

Had he stolen an Uchiha's Sharingan and then performed a transplant surgery? Or was this attacker himself an Uchiha ninja?

Was there such a powerful ninja in the Uchiha clan? Why would an Uchiha ninja attack Muyue to help Iwagakure?

Now Kakashi's mind was full of confusion.

"Sharingan!"

Shisui and Obito both froze when they saw Uchiha Madara's Three-Tomoe Sharingan, then showed expressions of extreme shock.

Not only Muyue's disciples, but many Konoha ninja who saw Uchiha Madara's eyes also displayed surprised and puzzled looks.

As everyone knows, the Sharingan is a Kekkei Genkai unique to the Uchiha clan.

Since they were on the battlefield, some Konoha ninja close to Uchiha Madara decisively attacked him.

Attacking the squad commander—even if the black-robed man really was a Konoha ninja, he deserves death!

However, how could their attacks be effective against Uchiha Madara?

Uchiha Madara flexibly dodged, and with a few waves of his hand he nearly killed the Konoha ninja who attacked him; only Mu Yue's timely intervention saved them.

"It seems I need to clear out the weeds first." Uchiha Madara swept his gaze over the surrounding ninja, burst chakra from his feet, and leaped up.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Uchiha Madara gathered a large amount of chakra in his throat, then rapidly converted it into fire-attribute chakra and expelled it in one breath.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!

A massive flame burst forth like a volcanic eruption, instantly igniting a large number of trees and engulfing the Iwa ninja who were closer.

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

Some Iwa ninja who mastered Water Release tried to use it to block the fire, but they were instantly vaporized.

The forest seemed to become fuel for the sea of fire, helping it spread further and making the Fire Release even more terrifying.

Both Konoha ninja and Iwa ninja quickly retreated, getting far away from this incredibly fearsome Fire Release.

Kitsuchi and Might Guy were forced to stop, and each side flashed toward their comrades.

"Such terrifying Fire Release. Who in the world is this?" Kitsuchi was very curious about the black-robed man's identity.

Such immense power, and he doesn't belong to either Konoha or Iwa.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Mu Yue, who had used the Flying Thunder God to rescue his subordinates, formed hand seals and performed a Water Release.

In theory, he could also cancel out Uchiha Madara's Fire Release with Fire Release, but that would waste more chakra.

With such a huge disparity in chakra, Mu Yue had to use his chakra sparingly and try to use countering techniques whenever possible.

An enormous amount of water was expelled by Mu Yue, and the waves nearly eight meters high threatened to turn the forest into a lake.

Under such a large-scale Water Release, the sea of fire was rapidly extinguished.

Mu Yue's disciples gathered together.

"Shisui, Obito, do you know this man?" Kakashi stared fixedly at Uchiha Madara and asked in a low voice.

Obito and Shisui both shook their heads. There was no ninja this powerful in the current Uchiha clan; even the strongest, Uchiha Fugaku, was far inferior to this black-robed man.

"This might be the time. Everyone, be very careful," Kakashi said in a grave voice.

As Mu Yue displayed more and more abilities, Kakashi had once doubted that Mu Yue would ever face a life-or-death crisis.

But reality was always so sudden; on the battlefield, an incredibly powerful and unfamiliar strongman had suddenly appeared.

All the disciples nodded solemnly.

"Mu Yue-sensei, I will definitely save you. I won't acknowledge a world without Mu Yue-sensei!" Obito locked his gaze on Mu Yue and Uchiha Madara, vowing in his heart.

Before meeting Mu Yue, he was just an insignificant dead last. It was Mu Yue who had always taught and helped him, allowing him to become the pride of the Uchiha clan, a genius who became a jōnin at age ten.

Mu Yue had always helped him; this time, he would help Mu Yue escape his certain death!

"The enemy has the Sharingan, illusory ability unknown; his Fire Release is more powerful than my Flame Breathing Chakra Mode…" Shisui formulated a battle plan based on the information the black-robed man had displayed.

But the more Shisui thought, the more a feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.

This black-robed man not only had extraordinary strength, but his abilities greatly overlapped with Shisui's own. Probably only the Blue Flame that he had not yet fully mastered would be of some use.

"All the hard training at ordinary times was for this moment!" Might Guy recalled Mu Yue's teachings in his mind.

Without a doubt, Mu Yue was one of the most important people to him.

Might Guy believed that to protect something important, one must strive to protect it no matter the circumstances, even at the cost of one's life. Dying like that would be dying as a man.

At this moment, Might Guy was ready to fully open the Eight Gates, not just the Fifth or Sixth Gates. If necessary, he would open them to the limit he could achieve, even if it meant opening the Gate of Death.

"Water Release..." Seeing Muyue use a large-scale Water Release, Uchiha Madara's expression turned somewhat sour.

It wasn't that the elemental disadvantage made him lose confidence—rather, this Water Release reminded him of someone he despised.

"You can use water to put out fire, but how will you deal with this?"

Ignoring the gazes of others, Uchiha Madara fixed his blood-red three-tomoe Sharingan on Muyue, and a massive surge of chakra erupted. Blue chakra flames soared upward, rapidly forming a small blue giant with only an upper body.

The small blue giant stood over eight meters tall, possessing four arms, each wielding a blue longsword.
