Chapter 148: we are doomed
"Oh, I know what's curious about him... it's why he is naked, right?" - White Zetsu
"I'm wondering why he is naked myself, but this isn't what I meant..." - Madara decided it was best to just ignore it.
Meanwhile, Eiji knew that since it wasn't the perfect Edo Tensei, Madara's strength was heavily nerfed.
If it wasn't for that, Eiji was certain that he never would have been able to even cut one of his arms off.
Now with one arm missing and overall being nerfed, Madara was currently at his weakest - but the question was, would anyone here be able to defeat Madara before his arms would regenerate from the Edo Tensei?
No, simply because it was Madara.
Even though the imperfect Edo Tensei heavily nerfed most jutsus, this didn't apply to techniques like the Susanoo.
And Eiji knew that Madara's Susanoo was enough to massacre everyone gathered here, so he didn't even think about trying to fight Madara.
But he didn't know what to do, so he just continued to stand frozen there.
"Being able to use Sage Mode and still freeze like a coward...it seems like the current state of shinobis is even more pitiful than in the past...?" - Madara quickly lost interest in Eiji and with a look of contempt, he breathed in.
And a second's later everything was engulfed in flames in front of him.
"What about Sasuke?" - Black Zetsu asked cautiously.
"Hmph, a weakling who can't survive something like that while having a Mangekyo Sharingan is of no use for me anyway." - Madara breathed in and in a wide ark, almost the whole battlefield was engulfed in flames.
When the flames subsided, Sasuke was in front of Eiji with his Susanoo.
"What the hell are you spacing out for? Tell me how he managed to break out of my control and how to fix it!" - Sasuke urged Eiji who was with his butt on the ground being protected by Sasuke who carried an unconscious Kabuto (he collapsed due to using too much chakra).
But those three weren't the only ones here.
Orochimaru was just watching because even though he was in despair, his curiosity about the legendary Madara took over, but when the sea of flames approached him, he summoned the Rashomon gate again.
Jiraiya was still hiding because he wasn't sure if he should fight Madara or escape with the Konoha forces and report it to Tsunade, so he just continued to watch.
Sasuke's weren't able to defend or dodge and were completely burned, but given enough time they would regenerate because of the Edo Tensei.
Mu who was flouting could dodge it easily, while Gengetsu was still at the battlefield where he fought Eiji so he was far away from it.
"What's that? Hashirama?" - Madara saw how a giant wood wall saved the Konoha forces from the fire and his face turned instantly lively.
Yamato panted, seemingly exhausted from using a lot of chakra.
"No of course you aren't Hashirama...who are you?" - Madara
But Yamato didn't answer, since his head was filled with all kinds of thoughts.
"Not gonna answer, huh?" - Madara mood seemed to worsen, but Black Zetsu provided an answer: "He is a test subject of Orochimaru and Hashirama's DNA was injected into him...but more importantly is that the orange-haired brat behind him, is the Jinchuriki of the nine-tails..."
When Yamato heard that, he instantly said: "Naruto, this is an order: retreat with Sakura immediately and report what happened here to the Hokage!"
"But what about Sas-"
"Don't worry, I'll help him. He is the only one who might be able to change the situation if he manages to get Madara under control, so I'll risk even my life for him."
"I don't understand...who is this guy and why is everyone making such a -"
"GO NOW! IF YOU TELL THE HOKAGE THE NAME MADARA SHE WILL UNDERSTAND!!"
While Naruto was still deciding, on Sasuke's end he was urging Eiji: "Stop cowering like a coward and tell me what I need to know!"
He smashed his fist into Eiji to wake him up, and only after that did Eiji finally answer: "T-there is nothing you can do to get him under control again...we are all doomed..."

A day later than I said, but at least I'm back and I hope I could nail Madara's character here.
