Obito watched Uchiha Ryōsuke slowly walking over.
He introduced him.
"He is the strongest member of the current Uchiha Clan. He just took out the reanimated Senju Hashirama."
"He's also the stumbling block hindering our plan. The Tailed Beasts are likely in this guy's hands."
Obito had suspected as much when he saw the massive Susanoo this guy summoned earlier.
This guy could summon a giant Susanoo, just like the Uchiha Madara who was widely rumored to be plundering the Tailed Beasts across the shinobi world.
That was the proof.
He hadn't suspected this guy originally because he thought it was impossible for him to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, which naturally meant he couldn't manifest a giant Susanoo.
But things were different now. Those eyes were of a higher tier than his own.
They would never lose their light, whereas his own eyes were merely standard Mangekyō Sharingan.
The only reason he could use them continuously was because half of his body was composed of Senju Hashirama's cells.
Hearing Obito's words, Uchiha Madara stared at Uchiha Ryōsuke with great interest.
He could indeed sense Hashirama's chakra.
As well as Senju Tobirama's chakra.
There were also several other formidable chakra signatures, likely belonging to other reanimated experts.
Since he was capable of taking down such figures, the current Uchiha Clan must be thriving under this young man's leadership.
When he first left the village, he had assumed that without his protection, the Uchiha Clan would inevitably be destroyed at the hands of Senju Tobirama.
It seemed he had been mistaken.
Uchiha Madara thought very highly of this guy.
Awakening the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan meant he had experienced the death of a blood brother.
"A young man like you who has awakened the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan... do you want to join us and achieve true peace for the shinobi world together?"
"I refuse."
Ryōsuke replied without a second thought.
Uchiha Madara's plan had absolutely zero chance of success.
Uchiha Madara was a bit surprised to hear this. To think he would refuse without even considering it.
It was a bit of a pity. He had thought that someone capable of defeating his old rival, Senju Hashirama, and awakening the same Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan as himself would be a kindred spirit.
Since he wasn't, then so be it.
If the Tailed Beasts were in this guy's hands, then he just needed to subdue him and take back his own eyes.
Even though he was currently in a reanimated body, he could still awaken the Rinnegan.
With a focused gaze, his eyes shifted into the Rinnegan.
"Since you are unwilling to join, then hand over the Tailed Beasts."
"Even if I am in a reanimated body, an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan cannot defeat my Rinnegan."
"It's just the Rinnegan. I have it too."
Ryōsuke directly revealed his own Rinnegan.
A pair of purple Rinnegan stared back at Uchiha Madara.
Surprise flashed in both Obito and Madara's eyes.
They never expected that Uchiha Ryōsuke had actually awakened the Rinnegan as well.
How was this possible?
It should be known that Madara's Rinnegan was only awakened in his old age, after he had acquired Hashirama's flesh and integrated it into his own body.
For this person to reach the same heights as him at such a young age...
It was unimaginable.
Obito was even more shocked when he saw those eyes.
He thought of Nagato. That guy had said the God King took Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan. *Could it be this guy?*
He asked sharply in anger.
"Don't tell me Madara's Rinnegan is in your hands?"
Madara, standing to the side, was equally surprised. Were his Rinnegan also in the hands of this young man from his clan?
Even though he could sense that those eyes were not his own.
"Yes."
Ryōsuke had nothing left to hide.
Since Obito had shown up here, his ultimate escape tool, the Kamui dimension, wouldn't be able to save him either.
Obito's face was filled with fury.
This guy had not only taken the Tailed Beasts but also Madara's Rinnegan.
Both of these were essential items for creating a world where Rin existed.
"Uchiha Madara, I'll leave this guy to you."
Obito knew he had no way of dealing with this guy himself.
Whether it was taijutsu, ninjutsu, or dōjutsu, he couldn't compare.
Uchiha Madara also wore a solemn expression.
"Alright."
If he had merely appreciated this young man earlier without taking him too seriously, he now had to treat him with the utmost caution.
Not only did he possess the Rinnegan, but he had also cultivated the Eight Inner Gates to a profound level.
His only advantages were the infinite chakra and the immortal body provided by the Impure World Reincarnation.
Still, he was confident he could kill or subdue this person.
With that thought, he made his move, immediately forming hand seals.
"Heaven Concealed."
In an instant, he summoned two massive meteorites from outer space, sending them crashing down toward their current location.
He was a reanimated corpse; even if he was crushed, he wouldn't die.
At the same time, his hands formed more seals as he unleashed another jutsu.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame."
He exhaled a sea of flames from his mouth, surging forward like a tidal wave.
Meanwhile, Obito turned intangible once again, retreating into the Kamui dimension.
He had neither the qualifications nor the intention to participate in this battle.
At the same time, Black Zetsu was watching the battle from another location.
This battle concerned the resurrection of his mother. If Uchiha Madara won, there was still hope to proceed with the original plan.
Afterward, they would only need to wage war against the shinobi world to gather all the ninja, which would allow them to summon the Divine Tree. As long as Madara absorbed the Divine Tree, he could serve as the sacrifice to resurrect his mother.
*If he loses, then all our previous efforts will have been in vain.*
Right now, he was incredibly anxious.
Ryōsuke watched the massive meteorite plummeting from the sky and the sea of fire rushing toward his face.
Just as the flames reached him, he directly activated the Blocking Technique Absorption Seal, absorbing all the fire.
Then, he raised his right hand toward the meteorite in the sky and activated the repulsive force of the Rinnegan.
He wanted to reduce the meteorite's falling speed. As long as it lacked speed, it would lack impact force.
The crisis of the meteorite would naturally be resolved.
Right at that moment, a second meteorite appeared in the sky, crashing into the first slowly descending meteorite.
A deafening collision echoed through the air.
The meteorites accelerated their descent once again.
At that exact moment, Uchiha Madara charged toward Ryōsuke.
"I won't let you have it so easy."
Ryōsuke was a bit speechless. *Is this guy Madara trying to take me down with him?*
*It really leaves me at a loss for words.*
*If I wanted to escape, I could easily get away with my speed.*
Facing the incoming assault from Uchiha Madara.
Just as Madara arrived in front of him and threw a punch, Ryōsuke instantly raised his leg and kicked him flying.
The strike shattered half of Madara's body.
Only then did Ryōsuke increase the visual prowess output of his Rinnegan. A powerful repulsive force appeared beneath the rocks once more, allowing them to slowly descend to the ground.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara, who had been sent flying backward by Ryōsuke's kick, looked completely dumbfounded.
*To think that I, who have always been invincible, would be instantly taken out by a counterattack despite striking first.*
Even though his body was already beginning to regenerate, he couldn't find it in himself to be happy.
*This person's taijutsu is far superior to my own.*
*I shouldn't have initiated close-quarters combat just now.*
*I was truly careless.*
