Madara's body was gradually recovering.
As an Edo Tensei body, he was practically immortal, able to revive even after such terrifying slashes.
However, the once proud and imposing Madara now wore a look of shock on his face.
He never expected Ryujiro's strike to be so horrifying.
Looking at the destroyed landscape behind him, Madara's heart had gone numb.
Even in his current state, he couldn't achieve such a devastating impact.
That slash seemed like it could split the entire shinobi world in two.
Madara was still human, susceptible to his emotions.
Before this, he had never considered anyone in the shinobi world worth his attention, except for Hashirama.
Even when Obito warned him to be cautious, he had never taken it seriously.
He thought, how could a mere boy compare to him, Uchiha Madara?
But now Madara understood that Obito wasn't exaggerating.
Ryujiro's strength had indeed reached an unprecedented level.
The Susanoo infused with Sage Chakra was something even he, with the Rinnegan, might not have been able to contend with in Hashirama's era.
Everything was in chaos.
The only solution now seemed to be becoming the Ten Tails Jinchuriki, to gain the power of the legendary Sage of Six Paths.
But the One-Tail Jinchuriki was being protected by Ryujiro, and there was no sign from the Second Tsuchikage who had gone in for so long.
At this moment, a whirlpool appeared in the surrounding space, and Obito's figure gradually emerged.
When he saw the scene before him and the terrain, he felt a deep sense of despair.
If this was Ryujiro's power, how could they defeat him?
How could they complete the Eye of the Moon plan?
"Lord Madara, we should retreat for now. We should survive this to fight another day, and we can plan further."
Obito and Madara vanished from the desolate, barren earth.
"Huh?"
Their presence disappeared?
Madara actually fled?
This was unexpected for Ryujiro.
For someone as proud as Madara to choose to retreat was a significant blow to his ego.
However, Ryujiro did not look down on Madara.
Sometimes, a temporary retreat under absolute power isn't shameful.
At least, Madara retreating in front of him was understandable.
The power of Susanoo combined with his swordsmanship was indeed unimaginable.
From his perspective, the upcoming crisis was no longer a major concern.
Now, it was time to unify the entire shinobi world!
At the base, Madara, Obito, and Black Zetsu all looked somewhat desolate.
Especially Madara, who once stood above the entire shinobi world, now found himself outmatched by a shinobi of this generation.
Obito scanned the area and frowned, "Zetsu, where is Sasuke?"
Sasuke was a crucial member of their organization, a formidable force with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan whose future potential might rival Madara's.
But Black Zetsu brought shocking news.
"The White Zetsu saw Itachi at Stone Village. Sasuke left upon hearing this news."
"What?! Itachi?!"
"How could that be possible?!"
"Wasn't Itachi already...?!"
Black Zetsu, the true mastermind behind the shinobi world, was also troubled by this unexpected turn of events.
"Yes, I saw Itachi die at Sasuke's hands with my own eyes. I suspect Ryujiro has some method to revive people!"
"Revive?!"
Obito frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Are you saying it's like Edo Tensei?"
"No."
Black Zetsu shook his head.
"Based on my information, Ryujiro's method seems to transform the original person into another type of being.
Didn't Orochimaru also change?"
"That form might no longer be human."
"A method to alter human beings?!"
Hearing this, both Obito and Madara's expressions changed.
The ability to alter life forms was beyond ordinary ninjutsu.
"Ryujiro is no longer an ordinary human.
If his power rivals that of the Sage of Six Paths, and considering his abilities and those Sharingan, he undoubtedly harbors secrets we can't fathom."
Indeed.
Those Sharingan.
Madara's eyes gleamed with a dark light.
A time-manipulating Sharingan ability was never seen in Uchiha Clan's history, and it appeared in a shinobi who didn't have Uchiha blood.
How could it have happened?
"I have news as well. There's a monster at Orochimaru's base with terrifying abilities.
He can decay anything.
When he touched the Second Tsuchikage's Edo Tensei body, even that decayed due to his power.
These monsters seem capable of devouring souls as well."
Devour souls?!
Black Zetsu and Madara's faces shifted.
The ability to devour souls was truly terrifying. As someone who had died once, Madara knew of the Pure Land's existence.
If the soul was devoured, there would be no entry to the Pure Land, meaning true death.
"The only solution now is to obtain the power of the Sage of Six Paths to defeat Ryujiro. But the One-Tail Jinchuriki…"
The thought of the One-Tail Jinchuriki caused them great frustration.
With Ryujiro protecting him, capturing the One-Tail was not easy.
Especially knowing Ryujiro had the power to devour souls, they had to be extremely cautious.
Otherwise, they could end up in a dire situation with no chance of recovery.
"Lord Madara, we might not be entirely without options."
"Oh?"
"Black Zetsu, just say what you have in mind."
"Lord Madara, beneath the ancient ruins of Roran lies the power of the Ryumyaku.
Its energy is vast enough to affect time and space.
Perhaps we can use this opportunity to unlock the Ryumyaku's seal and take a gamble.
According to White Zetsu's investigation, the ruins of Roran once had a ninja from the past appear there."
This news was like a bombshell.
Madara looked at Black Zetsu and asked in a deep voice, "Black Zetsu, is this true?"
"Ryumyaku?! It can really take us back in time?!"
This was their only chance. Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment, "Lord Madara, whether it's true or not is no longer important. This is our only opportunity."
Madara fell silent. Black Zetsu was right. This was their only chance to counterattack.
Roran.
Madara's eyes glowed with a dark and eerie light.

Apart from Konoha, the other ninja villages suffered enormous losses.
Among them, Stone Village and Cloud Village were hit the hardest.
Onoki was injured during his battle with the Second Tsuchikage.
As for Cloud Village, their situation was even more dire.
Their Raikage was barely clinging to life, and the village's advanced medical facilities were completely destroyed.
The returning Cloud Village shinobi, upon seeing the devastation, were utterly shocked.
The entire village was almost completely destroyed, with not a single intact building left.
What they couldn't accept was the disappearance of Killer B.
The absence of the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki threw the entire village into panic.
If Killer B had been present, the situation might have been more stable.
But with him missing, his fate looked grim.
The Cloud Village shinobi struggled to accept this devastating reality.
If the destruction had been caused by a battle between the Raikage and previous Raikages, it would have been impossible.
The former Raikages were all taijutsu specialists, and their impact wouldn't have led to such widespread destruction.
There must have been other forces at play, but no one knew who.
The only remaining body was that of the Raikage, and it was heavily damaged, turned to charcoal.
In the village's center, clear signs of an explosion could be seen.
No one in the shinobi world had anticipated such terrible losses.
The four major ninja villages had launched a war against Konoha, but they never expected such catastrophic outcomes.
The Edo Tensei, a technique invented by Konoha's Second Hokage, became the focus of suspicion.
Although Onoki knew that the reanimation of the previous Kages wasn't Konoha's doing, he chose to remain silent.
During his battle with the Second Tsuchikage, he learned that Konoha's Hokage, including the First, Second, Third, and Fourth, had also been revived.
Yet, Konoha didn't suffer significant losses; only the Hokage Rock was damaged.
This minor damage was negligible for Konoha.
The war hadn't ended, but the other ninja villages had lost their will to fight.
Sand Village was in disarray after Elder Chiyo sacrificed herself to fend off the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa.
With Elder Chiyo gone and the Fifth Kazekage missing, Sand Village lacked anyone to stabilize the situation and faced the risk of disintegration.
Meanwhile, Stone Village, which had just stabilized, faced an unexpected visitor.
This chakra!
Itachi was indeed here!
Sasuke arrived near Stone Village, sensing the familiar chakra, his expression changed.
What was going on?
Itachi... wasn't he already dead?
Despite knowing the truth about Itachi, Sasuke felt a complex mix of emotions.
Could it be Edo Tensei? But that person didn't seem to have revived his brother.
Sasuke infiltrated Stone Village, capturing a ninja from Stone and using Genjutsu to learn what had happened.
Itachi had indeed been there, and he had destroyed the Tsuchikage's office.
What was going on?
Sasuke couldn't understand. He needed to find Itachi to confirm if the truth was as he was told.
Days later, Konoha regained its prosperity, although the war wasn't over.
The other major ninja villages were severely weakened, with Cloud Village suffering the most.
The Raikage was in a coma, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was missing, and the village was nearly destroyed.
Many Cloud Village shinobi were homeless, and rebuilding would require immense resources.
At this time, the old council members of Konoha, seeing the other villages' reluctance for war, decided to propose peace.
Hearing this, Ryujiro couldn't help but laugh coldly.
"As expected of Elder Koharu, only you could suggest such an idea."
"Konoha is not weaker than them. Konoha is now the strongest ninja village!"
"They attacked us first, and you still want to make peace with them?"
"Naive!"
Koharu's face turned red, and she angrily yelled at Ryujiro.
"Ryujiro, what's wrong with seeking peace? Do you want to disrupt the balance of the shinobi world?"
"War requires resources and manpower! Have you calculated the cost?"
"For your selfish motives, you want to drag Konoha into the flames of war. What are your intentions?"
The people around couldn't help but feel a headache.
No matter the time, these two always argued.
Homura sighed, "Koharu, enough. Sit down."
"Why shouldn't I speak?"
Despite her age, Koharu acted like a little girl throwing a tantrum, making it baffling to everyone.
Homura looked weary, seeming to age ten years in an instant.
"We're old now. It's the era of these young shinobis. We should let them take charge."
He knew well that Konoha no longer needed their guidance.
The current Hokage and Ryujiro were capable of making decisions.
Their constant fear of war had left Konoha passive.
During the Third Hokage's time, they had always compromised to avoid war.
What was the result?
Sand Village caused enormous losses to Konoha, yet they prioritized maintaining relations instead of demanding compensation.
Was Konoha really that weak?
Even without the Third Hokage, Konoha was stronger than Sand Village.
They should have taken a firm stance.
If not for Tsunade and Ryujiro, Konoha might have had to compensate Sand Village for losses.
If that had happened, Konoha would have become a laughingstock.
"Homura, you!"
"Even you don't support me?"
Koharu couldn't believe her old friend's words.
Homura looked at her and said, "We're old. It's time to retire and leave the village to the young."
"This is beyond our control. Let the young generation handle it."
