[V2] - Chapter 41. The Great Disaster
---
An overwhelming aura crushed everything in its path.
Is this really Uchiha Madara?
Sensing that figure looking down at them from above, even Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama had noticed it by now.
However… at this point, Orochimaru was already in great danger.
Enemies surrounded them densely on all sides.
If he didn't figure out a way to escape soon, he really wouldn't be able to run later!
Orochimaru's eyes narrowed slightly, his hands rapidly forming seals as he stared at Uchiha Madara.
However—
As expected—
Madara's body trembled slightly, but nothing else happened.
His control—was gone?!
"You want to control me with a mere Impure World Reincarnation? Ridiculous!" Uchiha Madara jumped straight down from his Susanoo, clapped his hands together, and his chakra surged again. "Impure World Reincarnation: Release!"
As he spoke, he landed on the ground—but didn't stop. He charged straight toward Orochimaru.
"Wood Release: Nativity of a World of Trees!"
That's Wood Release!
Aside from Orochimaru, who already knew about it, everyone else was shocked to see Uchiha Madara use Wood Release—even Hashirama was surprised.
Madara could actually use Wood Release?!
But—
"Huh? Madara, how come you weren't under control?" Hashirama asked in surprise. "How did you manage that?"
"Idiot! There is no nameplate!" Madara looked at him disdainfully. "If you forcibly break the technique, you won't be controlled by the caster!"
That information—he had actually gotten it from Senju Tobirama!
That guy… hadn't just been twisting screws all these years!
That's why Madara stirred up all this chaos.
Only then would he have a chance to get the nameplate!
After glancing over at Tobirama, who also clapped his hands and shouted, "Release!" Madara ignored him and continued walking step by step toward Orochimaru.
But for some reason… Orochimaru still had a smile on his face.
[Forget it, I've already wasted too much time here!]
Next, he should return and have Black Zetsu finish the mission properly—then wait for a true resurrection!
However—
Just as Madara was about to act—
Suddenly—
"Wood Release!"
Senju Hashirama's voice rang out.
Madara frowned, dodged the Wood Release restraints with a flicker, and looked up at him. "Hashirama! What are you doing?!"
"Brother! Cancel the Impure World Reincarnation!" Tobirama, who seemed to have broken free of Impure World Reincarnation's control, also said helplessly, "Hurry up!"
But—
"I… I think I can't control myself!" Hashirama formed hand seals with a helpless face. "Get out of here! I really can't control myself!"
Wood Release continued erupting, blocking Madara and the others from rushing forward.
Then—
"What do you mean you can't undo it?!" Tobirama was shocked as he looked at his brother. After all… he was the God of the Ninja World!
Even he could break free, so how could his big brother not do it by willpower alone?
But—
Looking at his brother's relentless attacks… he really did seem out of control!
Tobirama clenched his teeth and charged forward without hesitation. "It looks like… that Impure World Reincarnation Orochimaru used on Big Brother is different? Don't worry, Brother—I'll definitely help you break free!"
"No! No! There's no need!" Hashirama's expression changed drastically. "Just leave! I can't control myself! Seriously!"
"I'll save you no matter what!"
"I said no need!"
As Hashirama continued to refuse, Tobirama had already rushed up to him and started fighting, trying to inspect the Impure World Reincarnation inside him.
But—
After a moment—
"There's nothing there!" Tobirama furrowed his brows in surprise as he looked at Hashirama. "The technique marks have already been broken!"
"I… aaaaah~ I really can't control myself!"
"…"
Hearing that overly dramatic voice, Tobirama fell silent, then raised an eyebrow and looked at his brother suspiciously. "Are you faking it?"
"Wh-Wh-What are you talking about?!" Hashirama's gaze darted around. "I just… I really can't control myself! Seriously!"
And then—
"You idiot brother, what are you trying to do now?!" Tobirama covered his eyes. "That guy's so evil, and you still want to protect him?!"
As soon as the words fell—
"You've already figured it out?" Orochimaru's cheerful voice rang out again, drawing everyone's attention, but he was looking at Senju Hashirama. "I'm counting on you, First Hokage-sama! You accepted my commission, remember!"
"…"
At this point, how could the others not understand?
They immediately gave Hashirama strange looks. [You really joined forces with him?]
"Since I've already accepted the commission fee, I'll complete the mission! But I'm only protecting you!" Hashirama sighed helplessly, then scratched his head as he noticed everyone's staring eyes, and chuckled awkwardly, "Uh… sorry~ he just gave way too much!"
"…You idiot!" Senju Tobirama shouted in disbelief. "When did you accept a commission?!"
"A few days ago…"
"???"
"That figurine! Just so you know~ it glows and has a lot of collectible value." But seeing Tobirama still glaring at him, Hashirama's voice grew a little embarrassed. "How about… I give it to you instead?"
"…Who would want that?!"
You—
All this just for a figurine?!
Black lines appeared on Tobirama's forehead as he recalled how he had been working so hard these years—paying for his big brother's internet, topping up his game, doing everything so his brother could take it easy.
And now—
This idiot still couldn't be trusted to behave!
Tobirama immediately waved his hand angrily, his expression fierce as he glared at Hashirama. "Kill him for me! Beat him hard! Don't hold back! Once we're down below, I'll beat this idiot again myself!"
"Ahhh? You're serious, Tobirama? I really didn't mean it, okay? That was days ago!"
"I don't care! You're dead!"
The scene descended into chaos once again!
…
Meanwhile, outside—
Although Uchiha Madara had already destroyed the main nameplate, there were still only a few people capable of breaking free from Impure World Reincarnation on their own.
So—
The chaos outside continued.
Of course, Yuto was still running around sticking explosive tags everywhere.
He was determined to send this black-hearted factory straight into the sky later.
And judging by the number of tags… even Nagato was starting to panic.
He was suddenly starting to think—
Maybe… since the eyes were already inside him, was it really that important to meet face to face?
No way he'd seriously give the eyes back to Uchiha Madara now, right?
Or maybe he had… gone back?
However—
What no one knew was—
A few hours earlier—
The long-wanted criminal across the ninja world, Otsutsuki Urashiki, had finally appeared.
But he wasn't in the Ninja World—he was on… the moon.
Otsutsuki Urashiki looked at the person lying on the ground before him—another member of the Otsutsuki clan—and said with a smile, "What a perfect time."
"Outsider!" the Otsutsuki ninja stared at him. "What are you trying to do?"
This guy—
He had suddenly appeared and taken down everyone.
His power was overwhelming!
Not even the Tenseigan passed down by their ancestors in the temple could stop him!
"Don't worry!" Urashiki replied with a relaxed smile, hoisting his fishing rod. "I'm just here to take back what belongs to the Otsutsuki clan!"
As he finished speaking—
He glanced down at the surface of the moon and seemed to think of something amusing. The corners of his mouth curled slightly, but he didn't say anything more. Carrying a massive eyeball, he slowly floated upward.
"Damn it!"
Everyone's faces changed.
But—
It was already too late!
Urashiki disappeared right before their eyes.
"Outsider!" All the members of the Otsutsuki clan looked anxiously at the spot where he had vanished. Then they turned to their Clan Leader.
"Clan Leader, what do we do now?"
That terrifying enemy spoken of in the ancient records… had finally shown up!
Just as they finished speaking—
"Call Konoha immediately!" the Clan Leader decided without hesitation, his tone grim.
"Tell them—the Disaster of the Ninja World is coming!"
"Yes!"
However—
Just as the clan member responded, he took out his phone and was about to make the call, but saw there was no signal. He fell silent, then turned to the Clan Leader.
"Uh… Clan Leader… the signal tower was destroyed earlier! We have no signal now!"
"…"
Now this is a real disaster!
