Chapter 281: Uchiha Madara Arrives!
"B, I won't last long."
Hachibi's voice echoed in Killer B's head.
Killer B was also on the edge, but despite the desperate situation, he gritted his teeth and said, "We have to hold on and keep fighting with all our might, Maybe there's a turnaround!"
Hachibi fiercely waved his giant tentacles, resisting the attacks of the First and Second Raikage, while at the same time casting a glare at Minato and the other powerful ninjas revived by the Edo Tensei, such as the Gold and Silver Brothers, mercilessly killing all the ninjas of Kumogakure in his path
Hachibi no longer believed that there could be any twist in their favor.
But.
At the moment he almost reached the limit.
The first Raikage, who was about to attack, froze and interrupted the attack.
At the same time.
The second Raikage, the Third Raikage and the other ninja revived by Edo Tensei, one by one, began to resist the control.
"The control has weakened..."
"Is there something wrong with the Edo Tensei user?"
The First Raikage turned his head, looked around and then abruptly turned and struck, interrupting the movement of the Second Raikage, who continued to attack the Hachibi.
The summoned dead will not disappear after the death of the Edo Tensei user, but the control of the technique will be significantly weakened because of this.
Previously, the First Raikage had already tried to resist the control and it was all in vain, but now the power of the technique user, who had been pressuring him all this time, disappeared completely, allowing him to regain control of the body by force . .
However.
Not everyone is capable of this.
The Second and Third Raikage, the Gold and Silver Brothers, as well as the other ninjas revived by the Edo Tensei, continued to attack the ninjas of Kumogakure. Their bodies continued to obey the Edo Tensei user's original orders.
"First!"
Seeing this, Killer B breathed a sigh of relief and read a rap, "Yo! Hard work in exchange for a twist of fate, oh yeah!"
He immediately attacked the Gold and Silver Brothers, who were fighting Kumogakure ninjas nearby, with Hachibi's giant tails.
The Hachibi let out a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes as he said, "Yes, yes, it's like you said."
As soon as the First Raikage defected to the Kumogakure side and blocked the Second Raikage, the Hachibi began to attack the Gold and Silver Brothers.
The pressure on Kumogakure, which was on the verge of collapse, decreased noticeably immediately.
Although the situation had not changed in their favor, now the town was not on the brink of destruction.
"There must be something wrong with the Edo Tensei user, you should now be able to resist the control, if not, then I will try to seal you."
The first Raikage spoke in a gravelly voice as he pushed the Second Raikage away with a single blow.
The Second Raikage fell nearby, creating a small crater, and soon emerged from it, with stiff and jerky movements as he said, "No... I'm not strong enough... I can't completely get rid of the control... but this is also enough..."
After these words, the Second Raikage was enveloped in a white glow. His body gradually disintegrated and his soul returned to heaven.
The First Raikage sighed and looked in the direction of the other battle. His figure glowed with black lightning and became blurry and in the next moment, he appeared next to the Fourth Raikage and threw a powerful blow at the Third Raikage.
"Raikage-sama..."
The Fourth Raikage looked at the First Raikage with a bit of wariness.
The First Raikage looked at the Fourth Raikage and resolutely exclaimed, "Fourth, we need to launch a counterattack immediately!"
"Yes!"
The Fourth Raikage clenched his fists tightly, this sentence immediately boosted his morale. Previously, he had been overwhelmed by the Third Raikage and watched helplessly as Kumogakure gradually collapsed, but now he saw a ray of hope and the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
The First Raikage, bathed in black lightning, rushed towards the Third Raikage and delivered another powerful blow.
At the same time, the Fourth Raikage ran in a different direction.
In the blink of an eye.
Kumogakure's situation changed completely!
"What happened to the Edo Tensei user..."
Minato also felt the change, but his soul was not strong enough to forcefully break free from Edo Tensei's control and move freely completely at will, like the First Raikage.
But despite this, Minato could significantly slow down his movements and constantly warned the Kumogakure ninja, allowing them to react to his attacks.
"Great."
"If this continues..."
Minato let out a sigh of relief.
If things continue like this, the situation in this battlefield will gradually come under control and, regarding the Edo Tensei user, Minato guessed that a ninja from another village might have managed to find and kill him.
In this case, the crisis looming over the entire ninja world should be near its end.
But.
Just when Minato felt relieved and was preparing to help the Kumogakure ninja seal themselves, a terrifying chakra fluctuation suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Whether it was Minato or the First Raikage, everyone present narrowed their eyes and looked in one direction, at the unknown human figure that had appeared.
This man was standing on a tall rock in the center of Kumogakure.
He crossed his arms over his chest and looked out over the battlefield, his body wrapped in the red armor of the Age of the Fighting Kingdoms, and concentric circles were visible in his pupils.
He has arrived...
Uchiha Madara!
Minato's eyes snapped open and he thought of something, but he wasn't sure.
The expression of the First Raikage standing nearby abruptly changed and he said, "Uchiha Madara!!!?"
"You're alive!!!"
His first thought was that Madara had also been resurrected by Edo Tensei, but the First Raikage quickly realized that Madara was not in the Edo Tensei state, his body was made of flesh and blood!
From the looks of it, his body is in the prime of its life!
The First Raikage's words made the surrounding Kumogakure ninjas shudder. All of them, including the Fourth Raikage and Killer B, looked at Uchiha Madara with undisguised fear in their eyes.
Uchiha Madara!
This name still has a great fame in the ninja world. Almost everyone knows that Madara is a legendary ninja, together with whom the "Ninja God", Senju Hashirama, put an end to the Era of the Fighting Kingdoms!
Minato looked at Madara with unparalleled seriousness and whispered, "The chakra is very different from the ninja who attacked Konoha back then. So this is the real Uchiha Madara..."
Although Uchiha Madara just stood there, not making any moves, just his presence made the atmosphere on the battlefield extremely heavy.
The fourth Raikage clenched his fists and exclaimed loudly, "Did you use Edo Tensei?"
Uchiha Madara looked at him and said casually, "No, but even though I don't control Edo Tensei, this is all part of my plan."
"A plan? What's the plan!"
The first Raikage looked gloomily at Madara and said, "Didn't you die in the battle with Hashirama!"
As a ninja who faced Uchiha Madara in the past, the First Raikage is well aware of how terrifying his power is!
Madara looked at the First Raikage casually and said, "You, as a person who has fought with me in the past, should know that I am very difficult to kill... even for Hashirama!"
After saying that, Madara performed a series of hand seals and pressed his palm against the ground.
"Kuchiyose no Jutsu!"
Auge!!!
In a flash of white smoke, Gedo Mazo appeared and released a huge fluctuation of chakra.
By now, it has already sealed the One-Tailed, Two-Tailed, Four-Tailed, Five-Tailed and Six-Tailed Bijuu, as well as some of the chakra of the Three-Tailed and Seven-Tailed!
"What's that?"
The first Raikage felt a sinister sense of apprehension as he looked at this scene.
Uchiha Madara looked at him indifferently and said nothing, and the next moment, a spurt of Rinnegan power burst from his eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!!
The Gold and Silver Brothers, as well as the Hachibi, who was fiercely fighting with them, shuddered violently and flew sideways, as if struck by an invisible and irresistible force.
Madara then performed hand seals.
Whoosh!!!
Chains, glowing with purple light, came out of Gedo Mazo's mouth. One of them wrapped around the Hachibi's neck, and the other two wrapped around the Gold and Silver Brothers.
From the bodies of Brothers Gold and Silver, in the direction of Gedo Mazo's mouth, Kyubi chakra immediately gushed out.
