Chapter 407 Leader of the Allied Forces

"Are you ready for the challenge?"

Uchiha Madara's voice continued to echo in everyone's minds, and they could not imagine that the Uchiha Madara in front of them was just a wooden clone whose strength was less than 30% of the original body.

If even the wood clone has Kage-level strength, then how powerful Uchiha Madara's true form must be!

Is this really an enemy that the five major ninja villages can defeat together?

After a long time, Onoki looked at Uchiha Madara in front of him with a complicated expression. He thought that he had grown into a strong man who could impress Uchiha Madara, but in fact there was still a huge gap between the two sides.

Uchiha Madara looked at Ohnoki quietly and used the remaining chakra in his clone to cast Susanoo.

Susanoo raised his two swords and slashed hard towards the top of the fortress. With Susanoo's strength, if he could hit it, the fortress and the ninjas above would be wiped out in an instant.

At this moment, Bai Ye, who had been watching the theater for a long time, moved, and he suddenly clasped his hands together.

I saw several huge vines growing out of the cracked ground again, wrapping around the Susano swords. Then Byakuya jumped high and dived towards Uchiha Madara's position.

With just one punch, cracks appeared above Susanoo.

The next moment, Susanoo shattered like glass. Byakuya appeared directly in front of Uchiha Madara, drew his sword and cut Uchiha Madara in half.

After enduring damage beyond his limit, Uchiha Madara turned into wood again.

Before he was about to lose his chakra aura, he looked at Bai Ye with interest and clicked his tongue:

"You are Bai Ye. I didn't expect that there would be a strong person like you in this era. This war seems to be getting more and more interesting."

Byakuya glanced at Uchiha Madara, and then said: "Uchiha Madara, are you planning to start a war? Is your purpose of collecting tailed beasts to challenge the six great ninja villages?"

Uchiha Madara smiled, shook his head and said:

"You are the challengers. Before Infinite Tsukuyomi comes, I don't mind having a fight with you rising stars to see if you are qualified to enter Infinite Tsukuyomi's space."

After a pause, Uchiha Madara looked at the people above the fortress and shouted:

"Juniors called the Five Kage? Do you have the confidence to accept the declaration of war from Madara Uchiha? In three days, I will lead the Ten-Tails to attack you! This will determine the future of the ninja world."

After saying that, Uchiha Madara's wooden clone completely withered and dissipated in the wind.

After Uchiha Madara's clone disappeared, the ninjas present turned their attention to Byakuya. They looked at the ninja who had defeated Uchiha Madaragi's clone, with complex eyes.

Uchiha Madara's strength is very terrifying. Byakuya was able to defeat the wooden clone and was recognized by Uchiha Madara.

This is a good thing for the Ninja Alliance, as there will not be even a single leading Ninja, making the six Ninja Villages a joke.

But Byakuya is a ninja from Amegakure, not from the ninja village they belong to.

Bai Ye's outstanding performance just now will definitely affect the selection of the general of the coalition forces. Will the position of leader of the coalition forces fall to the head of Yuyin Village?

Doesn't this prove that the five major ninja villages have been surpassed by rising stars and have no successors?

After a brief silence, Tsunade and others came to Byakuya.

Tsunade glanced at Byakuya's fist and asked with some doubts: "Byakuya, you must have defeated Susanoo just now with strange strength. Isn't that the secret technique of the Senju clan?"

Bai Ye did not deny it, nodded and said: "It is the strange power of the Senju clan. Hokage-sama should remember that I am a descendant of Uzumaki and have received the inheritance of the Senju clan. This is also part of it."

After hearing this, Tsunade fell into silence and became a little doubtful about life.

She had long heard about the successor of the Senju, but she just thought that Byakuya was borrowing the name of the Senju clan, and awakening the wood escape blood successor was not a difficult task for Konoha today.

But things like the Thousand-Hand Secret Technique are not that touchy.

Could it be that the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather really left behind a back-up force for the Uzumaki clan and the inheritance of the Senju clan?

Onoki walked up to Byakuya. He didn't pay attention to the Senju Secret Technique and Wood Release Ninjutsu. He looked at Byakuya and said, "Byakuya Jounin, what do you think of Uchiha Madara's strength?"

Bai Ye pondered for a while, and then said:

"Uchiha Madara is very strong, and his clone has strength comparable to that of the Five Kages, but I believe that with the joint efforts of the ninja coalition, even Uchiha Madara can defeat him."

Upon hearing this, Onoki relaxed his brows, and his lost confidence was being restored.

Uchiha Madara represents the ceiling of the old era, and is a mountain that is difficult to please in today's era. However, Uchiha Madara is not invincible, and he still has things to fear.

If Uchiha Madara was really invincible, he would not send clones here today, but would kill all the ninjas participating in the conference.

And the situation this time is different from decades ago.

Decades ago, it was he and the second-generation teacher who challenged Uchiha, but this time Uchiha Madara's enemy is the entire ninja world, and behind them are all the ninja villages in the ninja world.

At this time, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage, who went to hunt Obito, returned to the fortress.

After seeing the fortress cut off in half, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage frowned and hurried over and asked: "Tsunade (Hokage), what happened here just now?"

Tsunade talked about the past in detail.

After hearing that Uchiha Madara had sent an attack on the fortress, Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage's expressions were extremely gloomy, and they were even more fearful of Uchiha Madara's strength.

The legendary Uchiha Madara is so powerful that even his clones can cast Susanoo.

It seems that Kirabi and Ushiki's perception was not wrong. The masked man was just a clown who was pushed to the front. There was someone else behind the hunt for jinchūriki, and it was Madara Uchiha, Shura of the ninja world back then.

However, is there something wrong with Konoha's wood escape technology?

As rebellious ninjas, Uchiha Madara and the masked man both mastered the Wood Release Blood Successor, and Byakuya from the outer village also mastered the Wood Release Blood Successor, but only Konoha Ninja Village did not have a powerful Wood Release Master.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Raikage said to Tsunade: "The Fifth Hokage, it seems that it is you Konoha who are causing trouble this time. The masked man is not a ninja of Konoha, Uchiha Madara is always."

Tsunade's face was ashen, but she had nothing to say.

Jiraiya frowned and looked at the Fourth Raikage, and said, "Raikage-sama, it's better not to blame each other in this situation. Let's talk about our experiences."

The Fourth Raikage's face was a little stiff, and then he said:

"The hunt for the masked man failed. After entering a forest, we were attacked by unknown creatures. Although these people looked very stupid, they were able to imitate our ninjutsu."

"After defeating those unknown white creatures, the masked man also disappeared."

After hearing that Jiraiya and the Fourth Raikage failed in their pursuit, everyone present had a layer of frost on their faces. One of the two murderers of the Six Kage Assembly who attacked successfully escaped, and the other was just a shadow clone.

If the attackers cannot be punished, the Six Shadows Conference will undoubtedly become a joke.

At this time, Byakuya walked towards the Fourth Raikage and Jiraiya and said:

"Those unknown creatures are called White Zetsu, and they contain the cells of the first Hokage, so they are very difficult to deal with. I have dealt with them before, and if you don't have super sensory abilities, you can easily be attacked and monitored by them."

"It turns out to be called Bai Jue...but why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Halfway through, the Fourth Raikage suddenly realized that the relationship between Cloud Hidden Village and Rain Hidden Village was not harmonious. In the limited contacts, both sides were enemies.

Byakuya seemed to be interested, and explained to the Fourth Raikage with a smile: "It used to be in the past, but now that the ninja alliance has been established, we will take the initiative to share information."

After Byakuya's tone softened, the Fourth Raikage became more polite.

In the face of Uchiha Madara, a major crisis in the ninja world, the gaps between the major ninja villages have become irrelevant. After all, the major ninja villages only want more benefits.

And Uchiha Madara really wants to destroy the Ninja Village system, and even the entire Ninja world.

Ten minutes later, everyone returned to the fortress conference room. After being repaired by Earth Escape and Wood Escape, the conference room was still in tatters, but it could still hold a meeting.

The content of the meeting was also very simple, except for the exchange of information about the masked man and Uchiha Madara.

It is to continue the previous leader election and choose the general general who will lead the ninja coalition to fight against the threat of Uchiha Madara.

The difference from before is that there is one more candidate for the leader of the coalition forces, and that is Bai Ye.

Although Byakuya is not the leader of Amegakure Village, but the leader of the Akatsuki organization, considering the relationship between Byakuya and Yahiko, there is not much difference in their status.

What really prompted Mifune and others to change their minds was undoubtedly Byakuya's previous performance.

In front of Uchiha Madara's wooden clone, Terumi Mei and Zabuza, who were eligible to run for the Mizukage, suffered a disastrous defeat. Although the Hokage Tsunade, Tsuchikage Onoki and Kazekage Scorpion defeated the wooden clone.

But because the opponent was just a clone, he lost the courage to continue fighting.

Only Byakuya dared to face Uchiha Madara's edge and crushed Uchiha Madara in terms of momentum. This courage was exactly what the Ninja Alliance needed.

"Everyone, regarding the choice of leader of the coalition forces, I think Byakuya Jounin is very suitable."

At the meeting, the Red Sand Scorpion changed his previous attitude and expressed his support for Bai Ye to become the leader of the coalition forces.

Faced with the proposal of the Red Sand Scorpion, the other Ninja Village leaders were silent for a few seconds, and then after thinking for a long time, they also expressed their opinions.

After Tsunade saw Byakuya's strength and momentum, she knew that she was not as good as Byakuya, so she could only express her support for Byakuya.

Byakuya is still a descendant of the Senju clan no matter what, there is no need for Konoha to refuse.

Terumi Mei and Zabuza are not even Mizukage, so they are naturally not qualified to be bad guys. They can only vote for Kirigakure by Byakuya. Anyway, Kirigakure Village is nominally one of the five great ninja villages.

But in fact, he had already joined the Akatsuki organization's system and accepted its protection.

The Fourth Raikage still insists on becoming the leader of the coalition. He is full of confidence in himself and his brother Kirabi. Cloud Hidden Village must gain the leadership of the coalition.

Ohnoki also had opinions to support him, but after careful consideration, he chose to abstain.

He has a shadow on Uchiha Madara. Even though he has worked hard to overcome it, he will still be subconsciously afraid when he sees Uchiha Madara's figure.

The shadow Uchiha Madara left on him was too serious.

After finally mustering up his confidence, he was told that Uchiha Madara was just a clone of Wood. Could it be that when dealing with him and the teacher back then, Uchiha Madara didn't use his power?

A ninja who is full of fear of Uchiha Madara is naturally unable to serve as the leader of the coalition forces.

But as a strong figure among the village leaders, he could not support others to be the leader of the coalition forces, and could only choose to abstain.

Admiral Mifune glanced at everyone and then expressed his opinion.

He also supported Bai Ye to become the leader of the coalition forces. As a well-known neutral country in the ninja world, he always supported the interests of the majority of ninja villages and would not sing a different tune in such matters.

Moreover, he also saw the thoughts of the leaders of the major ninja villages to some extent.

After Bai Ye showed his strong strength, the five shadows were actually no longer suitable to be the leaders of the coalition forces. First, the behavior of being the leader would offend Bai Ye, and second, it would maximize the interests of Bai Ye.

After all, compared to their own becoming the leader of the coalition forces, they hoped that the other party would not become the leader of the coalition forces.

After a round of voting, Bai Ye successfully became the leader of the ninja coalition.

The other ninja village leaders who participated in the vote became the captains of the army, commanding different armies in different places.

...

A few hours later, the news that Bai Ye became the leader of the coalition forces spread throughout the fortress.

All the members of the Shadow Guards of the major ninja villages heard about this and were shocked by the news. They started a heated discussion.

They were not unfamiliar with the name Bai Ye.

Bai Ye was the kind of ninja who became famous at a young age. He showed strength comparable to elite jonin in his youth and was expected to become a ninja at the level of the Five Shadows in the future.

They had also heard about Bai Ye's actions in the ninja world and knew that he was a person comparable to the Five Shadows.

But being comparable to the Five Shadows does not mean that you can really be compared with the Five Shadows. There are many people in the ninja world who have the strength to become the Five Shadows, but these people have failed in the election for the Five Shadows.

Either because of their sensitive identity or because their personality is not suitable.

But the most important reason is that they are not strong enough. Their strength cannot surpass the current Shadow, so they can only condescend to become elders and manage the ninja village as elders for a long time.

And Bai Ye actually won the final victory in the election for the leader of the coalition forces in which all the Five Shadows participated.

Soon, after hearing about the battle between Bai Ye and Uchiha Madara, these members of the Shadow Guards finally understood why Bai Ye became the leader of the coalition forces.

The reason is very simple, because Bai Ye is stronger than the Five Kage.

The Five Kage are the strongest ninjas in the five major ninja villages, and the leader of the coalition forces is obviously more famous than the Five Kage, so he must show strength that convinces the Five Kage.

Bai Ye's combat power surpasses the Five Kage, so he is naturally enough to become the leader of the coalition forces.

However, even so, the ninjas of the major ninja villages are not completely without opinions. The troubles between the ninja villages are not so easy to solve.
