“What?!” The Five Kage behind Ishikawa heard his words, then looked again at Ishikawa’s actions and situation through the semi-transparent Susanoo.
For a moment, their minds couldn’t quite process it.
Tsunade reacted the quickest.
Having seen both Madara and Hashirama when she was young, she naturally knew how deep their friendship was.
But seeing Ishikawa’s shocked yet “I see now” expression, she couldn’t help but feel some doubt about Ishikawa’s identity.
She searched her memory of Madara, Hashirama, and…
“!” Tsunade suddenly understood.
Madara, Hashirama, and another, the most mysterious person – the three of them overpowered the ninja world during the warring states period and were collectively known as the Three Lords of the Warring States.
Aside from the third person, Madara and Hashirama themselves had met him.
Now, this person in the white Susanoo, who was an Edo Tensei and fought Madara to a draw, and knew so many secrets…
Then this person before them must be that most mysterious third person!
And as someone who was once mentioned in the same breath as Madara and Hashirama, it made sense he would say Madara liked Hashirama…
…
Unbelievable!
Why would Grandpa become Madara’s lover?
Completely unbelievable!
Tsunade looked disbelievingly towards Madara’s direction.
The other Kage also kept glancing back and forth between Ishikawa and Uchiha Madara.
Only Gaara ignored Ishikawa’s words, secretly moving his hands.
Madara also frowned, looking at Ishikawa, who was pointing at him and shouting, with an incredulous gaze.
It was as if Ishikawa wanted this statement to reach every ninja on the battlefield, even using Chakra amplification.
What is this guy saying?
Madara thought, then inadvertently glanced at the Allied Shinobi Forces still on the battlefield below.
They looked enlightened and were whispering to each other, clutching their kunai.
?!
You believe such nonsense?!
Madara furrowed his brow.
He watched Ishikawa continue his performance, his grip on the Susanoo’s sword tightening.
Hmph, ants are just ants.
When have I ever cared about the thoughts of these ants?
The corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
Madara didn’t want to waste any more words.
Ishikawa was making him incredibly angry.
He resentfully raised the Susanoo sword to strike.
“If you don’t love him!
Then why do you keep him in your heart!” As Madara furiously raised the Susanoo greatsword, Ishikawa pointed at Madara’s chest again and loudly proclaimed the fact that Madara kept Hashirama close to his heart.
Bang!
Madara’s expression gradually became blank.
He sensed the gazes of the ninjas below and the disbelieving eyes of the Five Kage behind Ishikawa.
He fiercely slashed at the annoying guy before him.
“You’re hitting me!
That means you’re flustered!
That means I’m right!” Bang!
Another slash.
The deep blue and white ocular powers clashed fiercely.
Perhaps because Madara was fueled by anger, Ishikawa’s white defensive skeleton even showed some cracks.
“Everyone!
We should learn from Uchiha Madara!
If you love someone, you keep them in your heart!
We…” Bang!!!
Madara’s expression was no longer calm.
His face gradually contorted.
This strike was exceptionally forceful, and Ishikawa’s white Susanoo even showed signs of shattering.
But Ishikawa himself seemed unfazed.
Ishikawa looked up at Madara.
He knew it was almost time to add more fuel to the fire.
He coughed lightly, feigning tears, and sobbed, saying: “You!
You’re hitting me for Hashirama!
Madara!!
You are so heartless!!” Ishikawa’s woeful cries echoed across the entire battlefield.
Instantly, the Allied Shinobi Forces on the ground fell silent.
Gaara, who had been making subtle movements behind Ishikawa, preparing to seal Madara, also froze.
He blankly looked up.
This move, this move, it’s like hurting the enemy by a thousand, only to damage oneself by eight hundred.
Ishikawa almost vomited, but he managed to hold it back.
Since he had already embarrassed himself, he would be fearless from now on.
Pollen from the Flower Tree Release’s blooming branches filled the air, causing the remaining Allied Forces on the ground to collapse weakly.
Mei Terumi covered her mouth and nose, sitting directly on the sand disc Gaara had flown up on.
She hugged her legs and watched Ishikawa and Madara, and Hashirama on Madara’s chest.
Their original plan was to stall Madara while looking for an opportunity to seal him.
Now, it seemed sealing him was impossible.
All they could do was stall for time until someone found Kabuto’s main body and lifted the Edo Tensei.
For now, they just needed to find an opportunity for surprise attacks and harassment.
Madara was stunned.
His sword slowed.
Looking at the incomprehensible Ishikawa before him, Madara’s mind couldn’t quite catch up.
But the next moment, when he saw Ishikawa’s subconscious slight movement of nausea and the astonished expressions of the Five Kage, Madara realized.
His expression became unsettled, not because of others’ thoughts.
It was because Ishikawa’s random babbling, the casual distortion of a few sentences, had successfully disgusted Madara.
“Aaaargh!!!” Madara’s deep blue Susanoo raised its arms high, gradually forming armor on its body in the air, finally forming a complete blue giant, holding a greatsword in its hands.
“Now’s our chance!” At this moment, Onoki, who had been lying on the Raikage, shouted orders to the other four Kage and quickly maneuvered around Ishikawa, rushing towards Madara, who had raised his Susanoo sword high.
“Dust Release: Primordial Smog!” A small, white, translucent cube formed in Onoki’s hand, then broke through the air, rapidly flying towards the direction of Madara’s Susanoo.
Madara noticed the approaching cube.
Having fought the Second Tsuchikage, he naturally knew the power of Dust Release.
But he was currently in the Susanoo, and there was no time to absorb Dust Release.
Forced to act, he chose to quickly disengage from the Susanoo and retreat rapidly backward.
Boom!!!!
The white cube suddenly enlarged, emitting a dazzling, thick white light, like a high-speed grinding wheel wearing away anything it touched.
In an instant, Madara’s entire Susanoo was engulfed.
The massive white light obscured the gap between Ishikawa and Madara, and also blocked their vision.
However, Ishikawa could still sense Madara’s Chakra.
But this was just a feint.
Roar!!
Onoki floated in place, waved his hands, and the huge white cube split into two halves, revealing the true attack wrapped in Dust Release: a water dragon entwined with lightning.
Ishikawa instinctively looked over.
It turned out that the moment Onoki charged forward, the other four Kage had followed behind him, their combat plan already made.
Wham!!
The lightning-entwined water dragon bit down on Madara, who was retreating.
But it was useless.
After only a few breaths, the water dragon began to collapse towards Madara.
Ninjutsu attacks were useless against the Rinnegan.
