"I still don't quite believe it…"
These days, Orochimaru didn't believe anyone!
Who are you trying to fool here!
Madara Uchiha had just used a B-rank ninjutsu to produce a forbidden-technique-level Fire Style. That crow, on the other hand, spat out Tailed Beast Bombs as if they were nothing!
Never mind Orochimaru not believing it, it was estimated that Black Zetsu itself didn't quite believe it either…
Black Zetsu did indeed have some doubts about whether Madara could defeat Kitahara. That crow, no matter who it faced, could always easily defeat all the enemies before it. To this day, it had never revealed its true strength.
This really made the great filial son of a thousand years feel very uncertain…
That night, hundreds of Tailed Beast Bombs had blotted out the sky…
It still felt it was best for Madara Uchiha to complete the Eye of the Moon plan and absorb all the chakra in the ninja world. At that time, wouldn't defeating a mere crow be as easy as catching a turtle in a jar?
"Hehehe… then let's wait and see!"
What Black Zetsu was thinking in its heart was one thing, but what it said out loud was definitely another. Otherwise, how could it have survived in the ninja world for so long!
"Witness the true power of the Uchiha!" The raspy voice echoed across the battlefield. Black Zetsu looked at the battle in the distance, which was gradually heating up, and added with a grin, "Although that power is just an insignificant part of Lord Madara's…"
No one knew how truly powerful Madara Uchiha was!
Even now, what he had revealed was only his exquisite taijutsu and powerful ninjutsu. But as a ninja who could rival the First Hokage, Madara Uchiha also possessed the current number one Kekkei Genkai in the ninja world—the Sharingan!
His every punch and palm landed on the Fourth Kazekage's body!
Even though Rasa used the defense of his gold dust to block Madara's attacks as much as possible, he was still covered in wounds under Madara's endless offensive!
In the clash of taijutsu and ninjutsu, the Fourth Kazekage could not gain any advantage at all!
"I can only continue using my Kekkei Genkai jutsu… Magnet Release: Gold Dust Waves!"
Rasa did not show any weakness either. Facing a legendary ninja like Madara, he was completely unafraid, relying on his geographical advantage. Masses of gold dust gathered together and crashed down from the sky!
This was the very jutsu he had used to defeat the Third Raikage and the Second Tsuchikage!
The moment this gold dust, controlled by Rasa, erupted with the impact of his Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai, it was enough to destroy any enemy!
Madara Uchiha looked at the gold dust falling from the sky and pursed his lips to himself. "Hmph, a Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai… how could it possibly compare to the Sharingan!"
However, the Fourth Kazekage's jutsu was far from over. The flowing sand on the ground was also stirring up the gold dust within it, which swirled up to surround Madara Uchiha…
While engaging in taijutsu with Madara, Rasa had secretly buried a portion of the gold dust he controlled in the desert underground!
"Magnet Release: Gold Dust Imperial Funeral!"
From the sky above to the ground below, it was as if everything had been surrounded by the gold dust manipulated by the Fourth Kazekage. Even Madara Uchiha could not possibly escape!
Madara Uchiha's legs were already trapped in the gold dust!
At the very least, he was now completely immobilized…
If he couldn't move, even the legendary Asura of the Ninja World could only be at the mercy of the Fourth Kazekage…
What's more, due to his frequent research in the Hidden Sand Village on how to seal the rampaging One-Tail, Rasa was extremely skilled in sealing jutsu!
Madara Uchiha was completely unconcerned about his predicament. He just spat contemptuously and said, "As a Kazekage, are these the only tricks you have?"
Rasa shook his head, unfazed, and waved the gold dust, which was carrying the curse marks of a sealing jutsu, towards Madara Uchiha. "Even if you are a legendary ninja, I will still…"
Before his words could fall, he looked on in astonishment as a blue skeletal frame emerged from Madara Uchiha's body… A towering Susanoo covered Madara's entire body in the blink of an eye!
With a single strike from its arm, the Susanoo instantly swept away the surrounding gold dust!
"You're the Kage of a village, yet you only know how to play with little tricks. I've had enough of this game… little Kazekage brat, you are too weak…"
Madara Uchiha stood within the protection of the Susanoo and looked up at the Fourth Kazekage floating in the air. "Now let me show you, being a ninja is not as simple as you playing house!"
Killing intent overflowed!
A pair of strangely shaped Sharingan flashed in Madara's eyes!
The blue Susanoo paused for a moment, then abruptly drew a giant katana!
Countless grains of gold dust flew to land in front of Rasa. He was already somewhat terrified just looking at the half-bodied Susanoo below him…
The presence Madara Uchiha had just revealed was too astonishing!
"Can I block it?"
Rasa looked at the wall of gold dust in front of him, a sudden panic rising in his heart. For a moment, he wanted to manipulate the gold dust under his feet to carry him away!
However, it was already too late!
The giant katana, glowing with an azure light, streaked across the sky…
The moment the Susanoo sheathed its sword, it vanished without a trace. Madara Uchiha, bored, stepped out of the sunken gold dust and leaped onto a high dune.
"Hmph… Mere grains of sand, not even half as good as me…"
The wall of gold dust in the sky suddenly disintegrated, scattering and falling…
Some of the gold dust was even stained with blood. Rasa's body had been split in two and fell to the ground, dyeing the flowing sand below red…
The Fourth Kazekage of the Hidden Sand, Rasa, had been killed!
Black Zetsu's body slowly emerged from the flowing sand. "As expected of Lord Madara. After killing the Fourth Kazekage, we can use this to impersonate him and control the entire Hidden Sand Village, and seize the One-Tail jinchuriki…"
"One-Tail… jinchuriki?"
Madara Uchiha muttered to himself, then abruptly turned his head. His Mangekyo Sharingan was fixed deadly on Black Zetsu. "The Eye of the Moon plan, it hasn't even started yet?!"
"Things have… changed a bit…" Black Zetsu replied weakly.
In reality, the Akatsuki's current progress wasn't slow.
In such a short time, they had already obtained intelligence on several Tailed Beast jinchuriki. If there were no external interference, they should have been confident of gathering all nine Tailed Beasts within ten years.
However, not only was there external interference, but the degree of interference was also very strong.
The reanimated Tobirama Senju, who had been brought back by a fluke, was manipulating an unknown organization to frantically hunt down the members of the Akatsuki…
Then, the joint reconnaissance squad from Konoha and the Hidden Mist had completely destroyed the Akatsuki's largest base, and the organization's nominal leader had been forced to flee his home.
The Akatsuki had already fallen to such a miserable state, yet they were still able to go and capture Tailed Beasts. This was practically a god-like performance!
Madara Uchiha grabbed Black Zetsu and dragged it out of the flowing sand. "I haven't seen many geniuses in the ninja world all these years. What could have possibly changed… Has that kid Nagato not grown up yet? Or did that junior Obito Uchiha betray me?"
The slowly approaching Orochimaru: "…"
This feels like a lot of information!
If Madara Uchiha is the one behind Obito and Nagato, then things have become very strange… What wish could a dead man have?
Destroying Konoha or something, that's probably not likely, right?
Or is it… resurrection?
"It's a bit complicated…"
Black Zetsu was a little awkward as it spoke. "Nothing has happened to the two of them for now. The main problem lies with a youth named Itachi Uchiha. He raised a crow when he was very young…"
Madara Uchiha glanced at it coldly. "Get to the point!"
"We now need powerful personnel so that we can quickly capture the jinchuriki from the various great ninja villages…" Black Zetsu thought for a moment and said seriously.
Madara Uchiha: "…"
Have I been too nice to you? I told you to get to the point, but I didn't tell you to jump so far ahead and say nothing! What's the deal with that Itachi Uchiha? So what if he raised a crow?
