Akatsuki's Shock and Madara's Reawakening
All the members of the Akatsuki organization had bewildered expressions on their faces. That Fire Phoenix was simply monstrous! It had instantly incinerated all five of Kakuzu's lives! Unbelievable!
Among the many powerful figures brought forth by Impure World Reincarnation, one figure seemed completely out of character. He looked at his hands, then at his body, observing the cracks appearing one after another, and muttered to himself, "So this is how I appeared."
He was still talking to himself when a calm voice immediately sounded in his ear: "I apologize for bringing you forth in this manner. But, quickly, join the battlefield now!" Although the tone was flat, it wasn't hard to discern a subtle command within it. The speaker was Kabuto, Orochimaru's former subordinate! And this powerful individual reanimated by Impure World Reincarnation was the infamous Uchiha Madara!
"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Hearing Kabuto's words, Uchiha Madara tilted his head slightly to look at Kabuto, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc. There was an undisguised questioning emotion in his gray eyes.
Kabuto felt a slight discomfort at Uchiha Madara's attitude. He said, "I think you haven't quite grasped the situation yet? The reason I've allowed you to retain your self-awareness is so you can display more strength in battle. You also understand that if I wanted to, I could turn you into a mere battle puppet in no time." What he said wasn't an exaggeration; as the summoner of Impure World Reincarnation, he was fully capable of turning the powerful reanimated individuals into emotionless killing machines.
Uchiha Madara smiled slightly. "Do you know? Are there any shortcomings in the Impure World Reincarnation ninjutsu?"
"Shortcoming?" Kabuto chuckled lightly. "The biggest 'shortcoming' of this jutsu is that it has no shortcomings! It's simply perfect ninjutsu!" To be able to control so many powerful individuals with just one ninjutsu, who would dare say it wasn't perfect?
"No, no, no~" Uchiha Madara smiled coldly and shook his head. "This ninjutsu truly has a shortcoming, and most people don't know it."
"What shortcoming?" Seeing that Uchiha Madara didn't seem to be joking, Kabuto finally broke his calm demeanor and looked at Uchiha Madara suspiciously. "What is the shortcoming?"
"If the person who was brought forth by Impure World Reincarnation happens to know how to use this ninjutsu himself, then this ninjutsu can be broken!" Uchiha Madara looked at Kabuto with a hint of sarcasm, then added, "And your biggest mistake was not suppressing my self-consciousness!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Madara's two palms immediately came together, and he began to form hand seals! Seeing this scene, Kabuto's face immediately changed! His heart was shocked! Not good! Immediately, he tried to suppress Uchiha Madara's autonomous consciousness. But it was too late! Madara's hand seal was completed in an instant.
In the sky, a large amount of invisible gas descended, enveloping Uchiha Madara. At the same time, beams of light shone upon Uchiha Madara like rays of rebirth. On the battlefield, these sudden changes immediately attracted a great deal of attention. At this moment, Uchiha Madara was like a light bulb in the dark night; he looked incredibly dazzling and attention-grabbing. Even if you didn't want to pay attention to him, you couldn't.
Finn's eyes were naturally drawn to him. Yo~ It turns out to be this guy! The culprit of this Ninja War!
Finn's Target: Kabuto
"Huh?" Finn suddenly froze for a moment, and his eyes shifted to the inconspicuous person next to Uchiha Madara. Other people might not recognize this individual, but Finn certainly did! Kabuto! Even in the original manga plot, it was he who had summoned the powerful Impure World Reincarnation individuals. In the current plot, Orochimaru had been eliminated, making Kabuto the most likely person to be using Impure World Reincarnation! And Kabuto just happened to appear here, seemingly conversing with Uchiha Madara. This way, things would be easily resolved.
Finn's figure moved; he immediately flew into the sky, then shot towards Kabuto like a shooting star. Kabuto suddenly felt an intense killing intent; he immediately raised his head, just in time to see Finn descending from the sky.
"Damn it! I've been found~" Seeing that the other party had a clear goal and wanted to kill him, Kabuto immediately realized his identity was known! His heart was extremely angry. If it weren't for Uchiha Madara causing trouble just now, he would still be hidden within the vast army, making him impossible to find.
Kabuto immediately began forming hand seals! "Earth Style: Earth Dome Car!" The current Kabuto was no idle individual; even facing the direct assault of the benevolent coalition's Commander-in-Chief, he had the confidence to resist.
But he clearly miscalculated Finn's strength. At this time, Finn had entered Sage Mode with all Eight Gates open. This double superposition of abilities made Finn's current state incredibly powerful! Finn descended from the sky, his right fist growing tenfold in size! Not only that, but Finn's arms were covered in intense Armament Haki! Top-tier Armament Haki! The Haki seemed to condense into a tangible substance, coiling around Finn's arm like dragons.
Kabuto's Earth Dome Car was just activated when it was instantly destroyed! That's right, it was destroyed the moment it launched! Finn's imposing aura and the sheer pressure of his descent from the sky seemed to carry the momentum of thunder falling from the heavens, possessing incomparable, majestic power! How terrifying was this power? Just the wind pressure caused by Finn's falling momentum was already incredibly heavy! It was this wind pressure that had just destroyed Kabuto's Earth Dome Car! If mere wind pressure had such terrifying power, how horrific would the full force of this attack be?!
After the violent wind pressure destroyed Kabuto's ninjutsu, it instantly slammed into Kabuto's face! The indescribably strong wind pressure almost blinded him! It felt as if his face was being cut by thousands of knives simultaneously; the pain was excruciating! He felt as if he was enveloped by a powerful aura; not only could he not breathe, but he couldn't even move! He could only watch as Finn's fist hurtled towards his head!
