Chapter 153 Yo, Madara, Long Time No See
If Zetsu was forced to abandon the original plan and instead expose his hidden move in advance, then there was only one possibility.
At this thought, a unique gleam appeared in Uchiha Madara's eyes.
This was what made it interesting.
If it were only him alone, the current ninja world would not be enough for him to stir up.
At that moment, a voice filled with anger and grief came from ahead.
"Nagato!"
Freed from Black Zetsu's restraint, Konan flashed forward and hurriedly appeared in front of Nagato.
When she saw that Nagato had completely lost all signs of life, Konan suddenly raised her head and looked toward Uchiha Madara ahead, her face filled with fury and killing intent.
"I don't care whether you are Uchiha Madara or not! Nor do I care whose eyes those originally were. I only know they belong to Nagato. Give the eyes back to me!"
Konan's face was filled with rage as she spoke to Uchiha Madara.
"You were merely a chess piece I placed at random. Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"
Uchiha Madara lowered his head slightly to look at Konan, his voice filled with disdain.
Konan slowly stood up. She knew that if the person before her truly was Uchiha Madara, she was absolutely no match for him.
But she still had to take the eyes back.
They belonged to Nagato.
Nagato and Yahiko's will would never disappear. It was the only reason supporting her to survive in this world filled with war and chaos.
Paper Rain!
Paper Spears!
Konan let out a light shout, her hands rapidly forming hand seals as countless sheets of paper transformed into attacks and surged toward Uchiha Madara.
At the same time, her entire body followed suit, turning into countless sheets of paper and hiding among the attacks as she rushed toward Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara looked at everything before him without expression. With a slight movement of his body, he vanished from the spot.
He charged directly into Konan's assault, effortlessly evading the countless Paper Rain and Paper Spear attacks.
At the same time, Uchiha Madara casually swept his gaze and threw a punch toward a certain direction within the incoming mass of paper.
Konan, who had been hidden among the sheets, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Her body emerged from the paper and was blasted away, crashing through several large trees before finally coming to a stop.
"Do you want to dance?"
Uchiha Madara quietly gazed at Konan, who had been sent flying, and spoke coldly.
Konan trembled as she stood up beneath a fallen tree, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and roared angrily at Uchiha Madara:
"Give… give Nagato's eyes back to me!!"
After speaking, Konan dragged her injured body forward, gripping a kunai in both hands as she charged at Uchiha Madara once more.
"In that case, die!"
Uchiha Madara's expression remained indifferent as he prepared to make his move.
Suddenly, his body paused slightly. He lifted his head and looked toward the distance, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"So you've come."
Boom!!
A terrifying aura swept in from afar.
If the aura erupting from Uchiha Madara was overwhelming and domineering, then the aura now appearing was filled with violent fury.
A rapid roaring sound came from the distant sky, as if the air itself were being torn apart.
In the next moment, within everyone's line of sight, a streak of light appeared.
That streak was flying toward them at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, Konan, who had been about to attack Uchiha Madara, was forced to halt under the pressure of that violent aura.
She had just turned to see what was happening when the ground before her suddenly exploded.
Immediately afterward, a figure carrying a violent shockwave appeared in front of her.
Under the impact of that violent wave of air, Konan was knocked down onto the ground.
A tense expression appeared on her face as she looked toward the figure that had suddenly appeared.
At that moment, the figure turned around, and an extremely youthful face came into Konan's view.
The young man smiled and said to her,
"Sorry. I was moving too fast and didn't manage to brake in time when I landed."
After speaking, Yuto extended his hand toward Konan.
Seeing this, Konan was momentarily stunned. She then swiftly leapt up from where she stood and retreated backward.
Although she did not know who this young man was, his manner of arrival alone was enough to prove that his strength was likely terrifying.
Watching Konan observe him with a face full of tension, Yuto shrugged helplessly.
Yuto turned his head again and saw Uchiha Madara across from him, whose grin had already widened.
"Yo, Madara. Long time no see. Looks like I still arrived a step too late."
Yuto glanced at Nagato's corpse lying on the ground. A look of regret appeared on his face, though his tone remained unusually calm.
Regarding the title "Madara," Uchiha Madara paid it no mind. Instead, his grin widened even further.
"Yuto! As expected, your seal has been undone."
"You're already someone who died. Wouldn't it be better to stay quietly in the underworld?"
Yuto scratched his head, a troubled expression appearing on his face as he looked at Uchiha Madara.
"The underworld is not a place that can contain me."
Uchiha Madara rolled his wrist, the smile on his face growing even more pronounced.
"The Rinne Rebirth Technique, huh? Truly a troublesome ninjutsu."
Yuto looked at Uchiha Madara's pair of Rinnegan and slightly narrowed his eyes.
If it were Uchiha Madara in his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan state, Yuto would not fear him at all.
He was even more than 70 percent confident that he could send Uchiha Madara back to the underworld.
After all, without Senju Hashirama's assistance now, and with the Three-Tails Isobu perched on Yuto's shoulder, he had no concern for genjutsu-type attacks.
But Uchiha Madara in the Rinnegan state was on an entirely different level compared to his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan state.
Moreover, this pair of Rinnegan originally belonged to Uchiha Madara, allowing him to fully unleash their power.
This was completely different from the half-baked Six Paths of Pain and Nagato.
There were simply too many strange and unpredictable ninjutsu within the Rinnegan. Not to mention a 70 percent chance, even a 50 percent chance of victory was uncertain for Yuto now.
"You actually know about the Rebirth Technique."
Hearing Yuto's earlier words, Uchiha Madara raised his eyebrows, a trace of surprise appearing on his face.
"I broke my seal much earlier than you did. With that much time, it was enough for me to gather plenty of intelligence. The only thing that surprised me was that you were actually able to come back to life."
Yuto spoke calmly. He had originally intended to say resurrect ahead of schedule, but changed his wording at the last moment.
A sharp gleam flashed through Uchiha Madara's eyes. The mere fact that Yuto had already broken his seal was enough for him to deduce many things.
