Ch-218 Madara Resurrected.

"This technique is called 'Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique.' But who was able to use Dust Release? Until now, there have only been two users: myself and my teacher, the Second Tsuchikage. I haven't used Dust Release, and neither has my teacher..."

In the middle of speaking, Onoki suddenly realized something and was shocked, which made him quiet.

"What is it, Gramps? Why did you suddenly stop speaking?" asked Naruto, confused by Onoki's behavior.

"How could I forget this?" said Onoki, astonishment on his face.

"Forget what?" asked Gaara.

"The Second Tsuchikage has a special ability: he can use fission. He can divide himself into two parts," explained Onoki, a sense of urgency creeping into his tone.

"We can also do that with the Shadow Clone technique," said Naruto matter-of-factly, trying to contribute to the conversation.

Onoki shook his head and explained, "No, it is entirely different. The shadow clone gets destroyed the moment it is attacked or damaged. But in the process of fission, one body is divided into two different bodies, and both bodies are genuine human bodies, not fake bodies like Shadow clones or any clone technique."

"Such a technique exists?" asked Naruto in surprise.

"Yes, and only my teacher, the legendary shinobi Mu, was able to use it. Due to this reason, if someone wants to defeat the Second Tsuchikage, they have to defeat both of his bodies. In the heat of battle while sealing the Second Tsuchikage, I forgot this crucial detail, and it seems that during that time, the Second Tsuchikage separated his other self," said Onoki, with a hint of regret in his voice.

While Ōnoki was explaining the entire process of the fission to the other ninjas, Jiryoku floated comfortably in the air, appearing tired as he gazed ahead. "It seems you are finally willing to attack. Show yourself; your invisibility doesn't work in front of me. I can clearly feel your presence and your current location," he remarked, his tone firm.

Kabuto, who controlled the body of the Second Tsuchikage, did not doubt Jiryoku's words in the slightest, as he knew well the extent of Jiryoku's sensory abilities.

"I wasn't expecting you to be damaged by the attack, considering you have the ability to foresee the future," Kabuto said through the Second Tsuchikage, his voice laced with a hint of confidence.

"Not showing yourself while speaking to me," Jiryoku said, his voice tinged with anger.

After uttering this, Jiryoku swung his sword, releasing a slash that struck the invisible Second Tsuchikage directly. Upon being hit, the Second Tsuchikage materialized on a rocky cliff, visibly startled by the unexpected turn of events.

Kabuto spoke through the Second Tsuchikage, his voice echoing with a sinister undertone, "I know that no one at the Kage level will be able to defeat you, so allow me to present you with a worthy opponent."

Jiryoku, with a mix of surprise and anticipation, raised his eyebrow, understanding that Kabuto was finally going to resurrect Uchiha Madara, the legendary shinobi.

Jiryoku calmly sheathed his sword and stood still, his gaze fixed on Kabuto, waiting for the inevitable moment when Uchiha Madara would be brought back to life.

"What is he waiting for? Clearly, the Second Tsuchikage is going to resurrect someone else. Instead of standing still, you should be moving forward to stop the process," said one of the captains of the fourth division, his tone laced with urgency and concern for the impending threat.

"Who knows? It's not like we can do anything about it. After all, he is the strongest, so he can do whatever he pleases," remarked another ninja present, his voice tinged with resignation, acknowledging the overwhelming power of their adversaries.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to comment on Lord Jiryoku. You all should be grateful that you are alive because of him. If it were not for his intervention when the number of casualties increased exponentially," said Temari, her words carrying a note of authority and gratitude towards Jiryoku's past deeds in safeguarding their lives.

Everyone fell silent after hearing Temari's reprimand, acknowledging the undeniable truth in her words. The weight of her statement hung in the air, causing a palpable tension among those present.

As the Second Tsuchikage began forming hand seals, Gaara observed, "It seems he's summoning someone, and if I'm not mistaken, it's most likely 'Edo Tensei'." His voice carried a mix of concern and apprehension.

"You're absolutely right," affirmed Onoki, his tone grave, betraying his unease at the unfolding events.

"Shouldn't we prevent him from summoning another 'Edo Tensei'?" Naruto asked, poised to attack the Second Tsuchikage. His sense of urgency was evident in his stance, ready to act at a moment's notice.

"Don't be rash. You know as well as I do that Jiryoku detests interference in his matters," Gaara cautioned, restraining Naruto from attacking. His words held a note of warning, urging caution in the face of potential danger.

"But..." Before Naruto could finish his sentence, the Second Tsuchikage completed his hand seals, and a coffin emerged from the ground, standing upright. The ground trembled slightly under the weight of the rising coffin, adding to the tense atmosphere.

All eyes eagerly fixed on the coffin, awaiting the revelation of its occupant. Anticipation mixed with apprehension as they braced themselves for whatever might emerge from within.

Finally, the lid of the coffin creaked open, revealing a figure clad in red armor, with long black hair cascading down his back, and two ominous red 'Mangekyo Sharingan' gleaming in his eyes.

Though anticipation had gripped everyone, as the man emerged from the coffin, a collective wave of confusion swept over the assembly. No one, except for two individuals, could discern the identity of the enigmatic figure. Onoki, with years of experience etched into his weathered face, and Jiryoku, who remained stoic amidst the tension, were the only ones who recognized the mysterious newcomer.

In the eerie silence of the battlefield, Onoki, the eldest among them, found his voice trembling as he uttered, "U.U.Uchiha Madara…" His words hung heavy in the air, laden with the weight of history and foreboding.
