"What!? He is Uchiha Madara?" exclaimed Temari, her eyes wide with shock.
"Gramps, are you serious?" asked Naruto, disbelief evident in his voice.
"Are you sure, Tsuchikage, that this person is Uchiha Madara?" asked Gaara, his tone urgent and wary.
Onoki said with confidence, "Yes, I can never forget those eyes and this face. He is definitely Uchiha Madara without a doubt."
Everyone became nervous after confirming that the person who had just been resurrected was none other than Uchiha Madara. The name Uchiha Madara caused a wave of nervousness to go through the entire ninja army present. Murmurs and whispers spread quickly among the ranks as the gravity of the situation set in.
Everyone's eyes were on Uchiha Madara, and they were eager to see what his next move would be. The tension in the air was palpable, and the ninja army braced themselves for whatever was to come.

"It seems he finally managed to groom that brat Nagato," said Madara, observing the situation with a hint of satisfaction.
"Finally, I succeeded in resurrecting you using 'Edo Tensei'," said the Second Tsuchikage, a note of triumph in his voice.
"What did you just say? I have been resurrected through 'Edo Tensei'?" asked Madara in confusion, his eyes narrowing.
"Yes, you are correct. I resurrected you through 'Edo Tensei'," replied Kabuto, stepping forward with a confident smile.
"It seems everything is not going as planned. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been resurrected like this," said Uchiha Madara, his tone contemplative and wary.
"You are absolutely correct, Madara-sama. Everything is completely out of control," said Kabuto, his voice tinged with a mix of respect and defiance.
"And who are you exactly?" asked Madara, turning his piercing gaze towards Kabuto.
"I am Kabuto, the one who used 'Edo Tensei' to resurrect you," said Kabuto, meeting Madara's gaze with unwavering confidence.
"What have you done to my body?" asked Madara in confusion. He knew very well that he was an old man before dying, but right now he was almost in his prime. It took him just a moment to realize that his body had been significantly modified. He flexed his fingers, feeling an immense surge of power coursing through his veins.
"I just made a few changes to you, and now you are even more powerful than in your glory days," said Kabuto, a sly smile on his face.
"Have you seen my strength in my glory days?" asked Madara with disdain in his voice, his eyes narrowing as he scrutinized Kabuto.
"I haven't, that's what I want to see," replied Kabuto, his eyes gleaming with curiosity and anticipation.
Madara then looked towards the ninjas of the 'Allied Shinobi Forces' and asked, "Their headbands say 'Shinobi,' but I see the attire of all five Ninja villages. Is this some kind of alliance?" His tone was a mixture of curiosity and contempt, as he assessed the gathered forces.
"Yes, Uchiha Obito has declared war on all the major ninja villages. That's why they formed this alliance to fight against him," said Kabuto, his tone calm but serious.
"You know Obito's identity?" asked Madara, his eyes narrowing with suspicion. He never expected anyone to know Obito's true identity.
"It's not just me. The whole world knows the real identity of Uchiha Obito," replied Kabuto with a sly smile.
"Something is very wrong. Obito would never have revealed his identity willingly. Is he so incompetent that he can't even keep his identity a secret?" said Madara, confusion evident in his voice.
"It's not that he's incompetent. The point is that he was up against the world's strongest person, after all," said Kabuto, his eyes gleaming with a hidden knowledge.
"Huh? World's strongest? Did Hashirama get resurrected or what?" asked Madara, his surprise turning into curiosity. According to Madara, there is only one person who can hold the title of the world's strongest, and that person is Senju Hashirama, the legendary First Hokage.
"No, not at all. That person is not Senju Hashirama. Look in front of you; there he is, the world's strongest person," said Kabuto, pointing directly at Jiryoku with his hand.
Madara looked in the direction Kabuto pointed and saw Jiryoku, who was also looking at Madara. With just one glance, Madara could tell that Jiryoku was not someone he could underestimate. The intensity in Jiryoku's eyes and the aura he exuded were undeniable.
Madara turned towards the Second Tsuchikage and asked, "He really seems to be very powerful. Tell me more about him."
"There are many deeds that have earned him the title of the world's strongest, but one stands out the most: his one-on-one battle with Asura, the elder son of the Sage of Six Paths," said Kabuto.
"What!?" Madara was utterly shocked after hearing what Kabuto said.
"Isn't the eldest son of the 'Sage of Six Paths,' Asura, dead hundreds of years ago?" asked Madara.
Understanding Madara's confusion, Kabuto explained everything concisely, "You are correct. Asura did die hundreds of years ago, but his body was preserved inside Mount Myoboku. When Jiryoku attacked Mount Myoboku out of rage, the 'Sage of Six Paths,' resurrected his son through an unknown method. Then, a battle between Jiryoku and Asura occurred, with Jiryoku emerging as the victor. Although he won, he was exhausted at the end of the battle with Asura. Despite his weakened state, he was able to easily overpower the Akatsuki, who attempted to finish him off, considering him a significant obstacle to their plans. However, they were unable to capture the weakened Jiryoku. All of this transpired almost four years ago, and in these four years, it is said that he has become even more powerful. Currently, no one knows the full extent of his strength."
