Chapter 525: The Terror Returns

Chapter 525: The Terror Returns

"So, the user of the Edo-Tensei is a young brat!" Madara smirks at Kabuto's panicked expression.

Hmm

Madara raises his head and glance in a direction.

"These chakra signatures! They are a mix of shinobis from various villages."

"It appears that we are in a war!" M replies to him.

"Coming from him he must have something in mind. But things aren't going as planned. Why else would he revive me in such a state?" Madara folds his arms around his chest and glances into M's eyes.

Fwoosh

Kabuto makes a Ram hand seal and possesses control of M's body.

"I am Kabuto Yakushi, the caster of the Edo-Tensei." Kabuto introduces himself to Madara.

"I am a collaborator of Obito Uchiha!" He adds.

"Hoh! So, you even know his real identity? Does Obito trust you so much?"

"No I just pieced together the pieces of the puzzle and everything figured out itself!" Kabuto smiles.

"Quite a feisty one, aren't you?"

"So, why did you summon me in such a state?" Madara turns to Kabuto.

"Well let's just say that we have run into some trouble. The combined forces of Five Shinobi nations are a bit too much for us to handle."

"So, you want to use me as a weapon to whittle down their numbers?" A cold expression appears on Madara's face.

Crack crack

A burst of chakra escapes from his body and devastates the surroundings.

"No no I don't have such an intention. It's just that our interests align with each other and this summoning is more of a collaboration than forceful co-operation. As you can see, you have full control over your body."

"Hmm you are right!" Madara glances at his hands and clenches them.

"Also, your Edo-Tensei is a bit special. I have fixed you up so that you are even greater than you were in your glory days."

"You know what I was like in my glory days?" Madara activates his Sharingan.

"No. That's why I want you to show me your legendary Uchiha power."

Hmm

Madara raises his head and glances in a direction.

"This chakra signature!" Madara senses an extremely powerful chakra signature rapidly approaching their direction.

"Looks like he is here!"

A smile appears on Kabuto's face.

Swoosh whoosh

Suddenly, a cloaked figure appears beside Kabuto.

"This person"

Madara narrows his eyes as he senses a hint of threat from the person in front of him.

"This sensation he is not an Edo!" Madara speaks in surprise.

"This is the same sensation I felt when I fought against Hashirama." Slight excitement appears on Madara's face.

"So, there are still a few truly powerful shinobis in this era."

"Just like you, he is a handiwork of my creation." Kabuto proudly glances at the cloaked figure.

"Your creation?" Madara stares at Kabuto in confusion.

"Just like how you cultivated the Hashirama cells, I cultivated the cells of the original shinobi using special cells and created this clone. However, this clone isn't as powerful as the original." Kabuto shakes his head in disappointment.

'Though, there is still something surprising in his body that I am unable to figure out,' He adds in his mind.

"Oh!" Madara is slightly surprised to hear this.

"So, does this mean the original is much more powerful than this clone?"

"Yes, but the original person went missing a few years ago and his whereabouts are unknown." Kabuto shakes his head.

"What a disappointment?" Madara shakes his head at the thought of missing an exciting battle.

------------------------

At the Shinobi HQ,

Blub blub

A powerful ripple appears on the surface of the giant water-sensing sphere.

"What's it now? What's going on?" A and the rest of the sensors ask with tense expressions.

"It's the First division! An extremely powerful chakra signature has appeared near the First Division." The sensor reports.

"What?!" Shikaku quickly enters the room.

"Quickly inform Lord Sakumo and Lord Tsuchikage of the situation!"

Meanwhile, Inoichi and the other sensors activate the CPS system to get an assessment of the situation.

"This is"

The image of Madara, M, and Izuna's clones appears on the visual feed.

"He he is"

"Madara Uchiha!" A few elders from Konoha point towards Madara's figure with trembling fingers.

-----------------------

Hmm

Madara glances at a certain spot on the ground. He walks towards the spot and makes a series of hand signs.

"Earth Release: Mobile Core,"

He slams his hand on the ground, and a giant pedestal of the ground rises from the spot.

Bang

Madara clenches his fist and punches the giant rock pedestal.

Rumble rumble

The giant rock pedestal crumbles into small fragments to reveal a meter-long metal rod.

Madara picks up the metal rod and flips it into his hands.

"These fuinjutsu runes Uzumaki clan!"

Clench

He shatters the metal rod with his bare hands.

"Looks like the sensory skills of the shinobis have improved vastly."

"This must be the creation of Kushina Uzumaki." M walks beside Madara.

"So, Uzumaki clan members are still alive, huh?! Except for a few, I thought their clan went extinct during the second shinobi war."

"The princess of the Uzumaki clan, Kushina Uzumaki, is somehow still alive. It's her who revived the legacy of the Uzumaki clan." Kabuto adds.

"Interesting!" A smile appears on Madara's face.

"Now, I am excited to see the changes in the shinobi world for myself."

He takes a step toward the First division.

In the middle of the First Division encampment,

The expression of Sakumo, Onoki, Rasa, A, and Gaara turns grim. Just now, they received a message from the headquarters.

"Madara Uchiha!"

Onoki clenches his fists as some awful memories from the past resurface.

"Also, to think that M-sama was able to use 'Fission Jutsu' in that state. I thought he never mastered it."

"Fission jutsu!" Gaara asks in confusion.

"Lord Mu was able to split his body and create clones. No not clones. It's closer to say he can split his body in two. Although this would cut his strength in half. However, when he was alive, he never mastered the technique, since the risk involved in using this technique was so high. Having an immortal body really removes the risk of death."

"No matter what, we have to stop them at all costs." A clenches his teeth.

"It's not that simple. Back in my youth days, Madara Uchiha was a symbol of power. The mere mention of his name was able to instill fear, despair, and helplessness. And now, he has returned as an undead immortal being. Don't take it so lightly."

"Here he comes!" The sensor shinobi warns them of an incoming presence.

At a slight distance from the Allied Shinobi force,

Whoosh

Madara, M, and Izuna's clone appear on a small hill.

"So, this is the so-called Allied Shinobi Force. Their headband says 'Shinobis'. But I see them wearing shinobi gear distinctively from each of the Five Great Nations."

Shoom

<Lightning Style: Thunderbolt Bullet,"

A powerful lightning bullet flash toward Madara's head.

Swish

Madara tilts his head and easily avoids the lightning bolt.

Tch

A click his teeth as he lowers his hands.

"This method of greeting!" Madara grins slightly.

Fwoosh

He leaps down from the hill, and jumps in front of the shinobis of the allied shinobi force.

"He is Madara!"

The shinobis of the allied shinobi force gulp their saliva as the tales of Madara's power are a legend among them.

Sweat trickles down their face and their hands tremble in fear. A few shinobi tightly clutch their kunais and scream a battle cry to overcome their fear.

HAAH

Madara takes slow, unhurried steps toward the allied shinobi force. The battle scene of a Man Vs Army amuses Kabuto, who views the battlefield through M's eyes.

"Here he comes!" Sakumo enters into a combat stance.

"Don't look directly into his eyes!" Onoki issues a warning and prepares himself for a sneak attack of M.

HAAH

The shinobis directly charge toward Madara. Madara also increases his pace and flicker towards the shinobis of the allied force.

Shoom

His body turns into a blur and he appears amidst a group of shinobis.

Rumble rumble

The shockwaves from his powerful movement send several shinobis flying.

Madara clenches his right fist and tilts his head to avoid a kunai. He grabs the neck of a shinobi, who jumps at him with a sword in his hand.

Crack

Madara snaps his neck and tosses his body aside.

Bang

He performs a roundhouse kick and shatters the spine of another shinobi.

BAM

Madara punches the chest of a Kumo shinobi and ruptures several of his ribs with a single punch.

Clang clang

He deflects several kunais with the wrist guard of his metal armor and jumps in the air to avoid an attack from the back.

Bang

He performs a downward axe kick and smashes the skull of the attacker.

Shoom

Suddenly, a spear with powerful momentum flies out of nowhere and strikes Madara's body. Madara clenches the spear in front of his chest, but the momentum from the spear pushes him back.

"Haha this is it!"

Madara grabs the spear and laughs maniacally.

"This is the thrill of the battle!"

"Let's DANCE!!"
