Chapter 298: The Kage Level Battle with Many Participants

"Was this done by Hagoromo Gengetsu?"

Reto frowned and asked.

Senju Tobirama shook his head, "He has no need to do this."

"Regardless, let's take down Uchiha Madara quickly! This guy is a huge ticking time bomb," A clenched his fist, crackling with lightning.

Senju Tobirama nodded.

"Orochimaru!" he immediately ordered.

Having retreated early to the back, Orochimaru understood Senju Tobirama's meaning.

He quickly formed hand seals but soon frowned, saying:

"It's no use; I can't control Uchiha Madara. It's up to you, Second Hokage."

To ensure that those resurrected with Reanimation could exert their full power from life, the sacrifices now used were White Zetsu clones, specifically injected with Hashirama cells.

Under such circumstances, as the caster, Orochimaru could control enemies at the level of the Five Kage but could not control those beyond that level, like Hashirama Senju or Uchiha Madara.

A powerful individual like Hashirama could easily break free from Orochimaru's control with a bit of effort.

The same was true for Uchiha Madara.

As for directly undoing the Reanimation, Orochimaru saw no need to try.

With the chaos at the scene, Uchiha Madara, who should have reacted, quickly formed the counter seals for Reanimation.

Rat - Ox - Monkey - Tiger - Dragon - Boar.

"Reanimation: Release!"

After a flash of white light, Uchiha Madara, now completely severed from Orochimaru, crossed his arms and looked down at everyone present.

Regardless, having come to the world of the living, he had no intention of leaving immediately.

At this moment, under the solemn, surprised, and murderous gazes of the many Kage led by Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara still ignored the many Kage present.

He focused his gaze on Reto and asked the only question that concerned him:

"You just mentioned Hagoromo Gengetsu. Tell me, what is his situation now?"

Hagoromo Gengetsu had died long ago, but now someone mentioned his name and speculated that his appearance was due to Gengetsu.

Clearly, there was a new situation involving Hagoromo Gengetsu that he was unaware of.

Uchiha Madara was very concerned.

In his view, the only ones in the ninja world worthy of his attention were Senju Hashirama and Hagoromo Gengetsu.

"Uchiha Madara, you are too arrogant!"

Reto, as the First Kazekage, felt greatly humiliated by Uchiha Madara's condescending tone and attitude of only caring about Hagoromo Gengetsu, as if he were a mere roadside weed.

"Attack!"

Reto didn't waste words and directly transformed into a gust of wind, rushing towards Uchiha Madara.

Not just him, but Senju Tobirama and the other First Kage also moved to attack.

Several of them shouted to the somewhat bewildered Second Kage: "We'll discuss the details later. For now, let's take down Uchiha Madara!"

One side was an outsider, and the other side were the First Kage of their villages, the elders who had handed over power to them.

The Second Kage naturally knew who to side with.

In an instant, the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki made a gun gesture with his right hand.

With a "bang," a water droplet shot from his fingertip like a bullet, speeding towards Uchiha Madara under the Water Gun Technique.

Uchiha Madara snorted coldly as the ribs and arm of his Susanoo quickly formed, effortlessly blocking the Water Gun.

Before Uchiha Madara could take other actions, a flowing sand whip suddenly emerged from the ground beneath him, quickly entangling his right leg. Under the control of the Second Kazekage Shamon, it forcefully flung him into the air, separating him from the Susanoo ribs.

The sounds of wind and thunder roared. The First Kazekage Reto and the First Raikage A appeared instantly before and behind Uchiha Madara, fierce lightning and sharp wind blades attacking swiftly.

After several intense exchanges, under the double-fisted hammering of the First Raikage A, Uchiha Madara crashed into the ground with a "boom," creating a large pit.

Dust rose high like a curtain.

Not giving Uchiha Madara a chance to catch his breath, the First Tsuchikage Ishikawa rapidly formed hand seals:

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"

The deep pit created by Uchiha Madara instantly turned into a massive swamp, engulfing everything.

Watching all this, Senju Tobirama, still tense, placed two fingers on the ground. His pupils contracted, and he quickly shouted to Ishikawa:

"Below you!"

Ishikawa reacted swiftly.

Boom!

Uchiha Madara, who had somehow sneaked up, swiftly emerged from the ground, landing a punch on Ishikawa's neck.

Crack! Crack!

The hardened earth chunks on Ishikawa's neck fell off.

Unmoved, Ishikawa's hands formed heavy rock fists, engaging in close combat with Uchiha Madara without retreating.

Seeing the other Kage about to join in, Uchiha Madara smirked, "I underestimated you."

Under his eternal eyes, Ishikawa's every move was clear. Seizing a moment, he grabbed Ishikawa's wrist, flung him away, and, seeing the other Kage and the Flying Thunder God Kunai closing in, Uchiha Madara opened his mouth.

"Fire Release: Dust Storm Technique!"

A large amount of hot dust spewed from his mouth, hiding him while the gray dust spread in all directions.

"Trying to escape?"

Seeing Uchiha Madara about to disappear from sight, the First Mizukage Hakuzen snorted coldly. He and the Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hōzuki performed the same technique.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

A massive waterfall materialized out of nowhere, instantly dousing the hot dust and causing it to dissipate quickly.

As the vast water flow spread throughout the spacious chamber, Uchiha Madara's figure reappeared.

The First and Second Kage, who had been waiting, continued their assault.

Standing at the edge of the chamber, Yakushi Kabuto, aware of his own strength, did not join the fray.

Staying with Orochimaru, the only living person present, he watched the battlefield intently, exclaiming with interest:

"One, two, three, four... no, seven Kage from the five great ninja villages battling Uchiha Madara. Such a scene, happening for real, is something I never dared to believe before!"

Noticing that Uchiha Madara, despite being besieged by eight Kage, was holding his ground, Yakushi Kabuto suddenly had a thought.

He turned to Orochimaru and laughed:

"Speaking of which, it was you, Orochimaru-sama, who released Uchiha Madara."

Just like Hagoromo Gengetsu before, they were both among the top three of the Warring States Period, incredibly powerful, and most crucially, uncontrollable.

The previous Hagoromo Gengetsu had already caused such a commotion.

Who knows what this Uchiha Madara would do?

Thinking that the source of all this was Orochimaru-sama, Yakushi Kabuto could only marvel at Orochimaru's influence.

Whether intentional or not, the chaos caused was enough to shock the entire ninja world.

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru remained silent.

In a way, he had taken the biggest blame in the ninja world.

But none of this was truly his intention.

Who could have anticipated Hagoromo Gengetsu's meticulous plans to escape his control?

Who could have expected that the DNA sample of the Second Raikage would turn out to be Uchiha Madara's?

Orochimaru felt deeply wronged.
