Chapter 268 Uchiha Itachi of Konoha

"Can't wait? Well then..."

Uchiha Madara slowly walked to the front of the sacred tree.

As time went by, the vines' attack slowly stopped.

Under the smoke, there was a dead silence.

Countless ninjas of the coalition had their chakras sucked out, and they lay in the ruins with only one breath left.

"Kakashi, are you okay?" Might Guy jumped out from nowhere and landed beside Kakashi.

Kakashi sat on the ground, panting and responding: "I... I'm fine, but my chakra and physical strength are not enough. Don't worry about me for now. How is Hokage now?"

Might Guy: "Don't worry! I'm here. Hokage and the other four shadows are fine!"

"That's... That's good." Kakashi took a breath, nodded, raised his hand and whispered: "Kai, help me up, I want to go to Hokage. She is pregnant and needs our protection."

Might Guy said anxiously: "Idiot, you are in such a state, why are you still trying to be strong! Stay here and don't move, I'll go!"

"No! How can you..."

"Haha, don't worry, old rival~ Today should be the day for me to burn my youth." Might Guy gave Kakashi a thumbs up and showed his signature smile.

Kakashi was surprised and said: "Kai, you are not going to...?"

Before Kakashi finished speaking, Might Guy had already disappeared.

In front of the sacred tree

Uchiha Madara stood on the tree root, his pair of samsara eyes looking at the towering sacred tree.

Faintly, a vague voice slowly came into Madara's ears.

"Absorb me..."

"Absorb us into your body, take the sacred tree, and the entire Ten Tails..."

Madara knew that this was the call of the sacred tree.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ban raised his hands and flew into the sky.

The huge sacred tree took shape again and poured into Madara's body.

"Hmm..."

"This feeling, so that's it, is this the power of the Six Paths Sage?"

"Hahahahaha, hahahahahahaha!"

Uchiha Madara floated in the air and laughed loudly.

His appearance was completely different from before. He was wearing a white robe, with magatama patterns on the hem and cuffs, horns on his forehead, white hair to his waist, and a mysterious black Zen stick in his right hand.

"The time has come to unify everything!"

"Madara! Get down!"

"Hmm?"

Madara, who was immersed in the powerful force, suddenly found a watermelon-headed man on the ground shouting at him.

"Wake up, Madara! I will defeat you!"

"This time, it's my turn to perform well!"

"Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, Seventh Gate of Shock, open!!!"

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara was shocked.

"Is this... blue steam?"

"Humph, you don't even need red steam to deal with me, it seems that you are underestimated..."

Madara sneered: "Since you want to die, then I will play with you for a while."

Just as he was about to land, Obito suddenly came to Gai with a group of Akatsuki members.

"Madara! You don't have to deal with this guy, leave it to us!"

"Just complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi!"

After saying that, Obito reminded the members around him: "This guy is not easy to deal with, you guys should be careful, we are just one step away from the new world, there is no need to lose your life."

"Hehe..." Hoshigaki Kisame took a step forward with Samehada: "This is obviously a rare beast, quite interesting. The stronger the enemy, the stronger I will be. I want to fight him first! Mr. Itachi, don't stop me this time, huh?"

A piercing pain suddenly came from Kisame's back.

Kisame turned around suddenly and saw Itachi standing behind him, stabbing a kunai into his heart.

"Itachi... Mr. Itachi? You...?"

"Sorry, Kisame. I... am Uchiha Itachi from Konoha."
