arrive at the battlefield

After realizing that their target had appeared, Kaoru urged his comrades to quicken their pace. In an instant, they were near the battlefield, thanks to Kaoru's use of the Hiraishin no Jutsu to save time.

Seeing the dire situation of the alliance forces did not intimidate Kaoru, as he had previously stated that only fools believed war wouldn't result in death.

However, unlike Kaoru, some of his comrades thought the casualties were too high, especially Konan, the blue-haired woman who had realized their actions were a mistake, thinking that the war had gone too far.

If Kaoru were aware of Konan's thoughts, he would likely mock and insult her as a hypocrite.

While observing the entire battlefield, Kaoru finally spotted his targets. The first was Tobi or Obito, engaged in a battle with Naruto and his friends. The second was Edo Tensei Madara, recently resurrected, appearing before the Kage except for Tsunade, for reasons unknown.

On the other side, Guy's battle against Kisame intensified as he used the seventh gate, and Kisame, merged with Samehada, transformed into a monstrous shark-human hybrid.

The fight between Killer B and the Third Raikage was also intense, with B transformed into a Bijuu form, relentlessly attacking the Raikage. Their duel was one-sided due to B and Hachibi's excellent cooperation, leaving the Third Raikage with no chance to counter.

However, the battle between the Second Tsuchikage against Fuu and Utakata was perilous. The Second Tsuchikage possessed the same jutsu as Oonoki but used it more effectively.

Despite the two-on-one situation, Muu's strength as a shinobi was undeniable.

After assessing the condition of the shinobi alliance members, Kaoru issued instructions to his comrades, assigning specific tasks, especially to Konan, asking her to confront Obito.

Upon hearing this, Konan accepted without hesitation, eager to avenge Obito's deception and betrayal.

As for Madara, Kaoru himself would face him. Despite acknowledging Chifuyu and Shirou's increased strength, surpassing their story selves, Madara was a different challenge. With only the Sharingan, he could dominate the battlefield and contend evenly with Hashirama.

Kaoru recognized Madara as a born fighter, and without the Kaguya resurrection plot, he doubted they could defeat a monster like Madara.

"Alright, everyone! It's time to move and crush them all!"

"Ooo!"

With Kaoru's command, they all moved toward the designated location, ready to face their respective enemies.

Some time before Kaoru and the others arrived on the battlefield,

Obito realized that the battle had become challenging due to Naruto and his friends' strength surpassing his expectations. Reluctantly, he decided to summon Madara a bit earlier than originally planned.

Obito was confident that even without the Rinnegan, Madara was powerful enough to eliminate all shinobi alliance members and capture the remaining Bijuu, thanks to the Edo Tensei's resilience to death and almost unlimited chakra.

Through telepathy, Obito instructed Nagato, who was currently under Obito's control, to summon Madara to the battlefield.

Fortunately, Nagato's physical condition had weakened after prolonged use of the Rinnegan and Gedo Mazo. Additionally, with Obito's presence, Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko were easily manipulated, allowing Obito to control Nagato with his Sharingan.

Obito also remembered that he was currently battling Naruto. Although Naruto had become very strong, Obito's combat abilities still surpassed his, especially with Obito's vigilance against Hiraishin jutsu.

On the main battlefield, where the shinobi alliance was engaged in combat, they suddenly stopped, sensing something terrifying, as if a wild beast were about to prey on them.

Then, a coffin appeared, accompanied by a suffocating pressure. Despite knowing that whatever was inside the coffin was an enemy, none of them moved. Their instincts screamed at them to run, but their legs wouldn't budge.

Shortly after, the coffin slowly opened, revealing a figure inside. The creature turned out to be a human, but the older shinobi recognized the person.

With long black hair and wearing a heavily worn and scratched red war armor, the figure was a nightmare for all shinobi who had conflicts with Konoha during the war era.

The person was Uchiha Madara, the strongest Uchiha in the history of the shinobi world, the only one who could match Hashirama, known as the god of shinobi.

Madara opened his eyes and slowly emerged from the coffin.

"It seems there is a problem with the plan."

Observing the trembling weak ninja before him, Madara realized that something had changed in their plan, compounded by Obito's absence, reinforcing Madara's theory.

Initially, Madara wanted to be angry, but the presence of these "trash" in front of him was enough to somewhat ease his current anger. He smiled and prepared to attack everyone before him.

"Shall we dance!"

After uttering his signature phrase, Madara swiftly moved, assaulting the still silent shinobi alliance forces. His graceful movements seemed like a dance, causing havoc among the ninjas.

Every punch, kick, slash, or stab unleashed by Madara wreaked havoc on the alliance. The shinobi facing Madara realized that if they didn't attack, they would die in vain at the hands of Madara. Thus, they attacked recklessly, disregarding their own safety.

In an instant, the area turned into a slaughterhouse, and Madara became the god of death, claiming every life in his path.
