Should I Join Now?

With Madara's presence on the battlefield, everything became more chaotic.

The Kage, realizing this, chose to abandon their positions and temporarily handed over leadership to their subordinates.

Then, they immediately headed towards the area where Madara was wreaking havoc.

Upon arrival, they witnessed the pitiful condition of the alliance forces and Madara casually sitting atop a pile of corpses.

"The current generation of Kage seems to be nothing more than a bunch of trash!"

Madara, who had sensed the Kage approaching from the beginning, did nothing, knowing they were very weak.

"Uchiha Madara, stop dreaming; we will defeat you and end your goal of world domination!"

The Raikage declared war, but Madara ignored him, instead searching for the current Hokage because he was curious about who was leading Konoha now.

"Hoo, it seems I don't see the Hokage. Tell me, who is serving as the Hokage now?"

The Raikage, ignored by Madara, became enraged. However, before he could act impulsively, Oonoki and Gaara stopped him. Mei Terumi then informed Madara that Tsunade was the current Hokage.

Upon hearing this, Madara burst into loud laughter, feeling that the current shinobi world was filled with incredibly weak trash.

"HAHAHAHAHA, the little girl who can't even use Mokuton becomes the Hokage, you say? Pathetic!"

Madara stood up, suddenly appearing in front of the Raikage, kicking him forcefully and sending him flying.

Seizing the opportunity, he proceeded to attack each Kage one by one. Madara considered this all a joke; in his time, the shinobi were powerful, with even Hashirama to contend with. He felt pleased as there was always a challenge. However, in the current state of the shinobi world, he was confident he could annihilate everyone single-handedly without facing any significant resistance.

"Call Hashirama here if you want to win!"

"Sorry, but the old man is already in the pure world, and it's not good to disturb his rest."

Tsunade appeared, countering Madara's words while healing the remaining ninjas and the Kage with the help of Katsuyu.

"Huh? A little girl who only knows medical jutsu dares to appear on the battlefield. Do you think I won't kill you just because you're Hashirama's granddaughter?"

"I never thought like that, and indeed, since the past, I discouraged medical ninjas from being on the front lines. However, medical ninjas with mastery of the Byakugo seal are allowed to fight on the front lines and become the main attackers."

Tsunade, who had been in Byakugo mode from the beginning, then attacked Madara.

On the other side, Madara, who don't think much about Tsunade, intended to showcase his power by summoning his Susanoo.

In an instant, Madara was enveloped by a very strong chakra, shaped like human rib bones. He easily withstood Tsunade's attacks.

"W-What?"

Tsunade, shocked that her full-force punch had not made a scratch on Madara's defense, was taken aback.

"I'm tired of playing with you all. Now I'll show you the difference in our strengths!"

Instantly, the chakra in the form of rib bones quickly transformed into a half-human figure with blue color, two faces, and four hands.

The Kage, previously healed by Tsunade and Katsuyu, joined forces to face Madara.

On the other side, Obito, facing Naruto and his allies, became more desperate with the unexpected appearance of someone he hadn't anticipated.

Konan, who entered the battlefield, brutally attacked Obito, and Ino, realizing that Konan's appearance marked the beginning of Kaoru's next plan, telepathically instructed the Jinchuriki to prepare their shadow clones filled with their Bijuu chakra and exchange places when the opportunity arose.

Although they didn't understand Kaoru's goal, the Jinchuriki chose to follow Ino's directions, knowing their enemy was formidable, and any mistake in the plan could ruin all preparations.

Konan, who had transformed part of her body into paper, flew while indirectly providing an opportunity for Naruto to switch places with his shadow.

Killer B, who had defeated the Third Raikage, quickly helped Fuu and Utakata defeat the Second Tsuchikage. With B's assistance, a previously challenging battle became significantly one-sided and quickly led to the defeat of the Second Tsuchikage.

Realizing that he was getting cornered, Obito chose to retreat and handed the Rinnegan to Madara, knowing that the Rinnegan would reach its full potential only when used by its original owner.

Swiftly, Obito entered the Kamui dimension, leaving behind the useless shells of the Edo Tensei Jinchuriki.

Realizing that Obito had escaped, Konan immediately stopped her attack and invited Naruto and all his friends to join the front lines.

Kaoru, who had been watching Madara's onslaught, deliberately waited for the right time to act.

Without waiting long, the awaited moment arrived. Obito suddenly appeared in the midst of the battle, promptly handing an eye to Madara.

Madara, who received the eye, was naturally thrilled as it was his original eye.

After replacing his eye, Madara, who had regained his eye, suddenly showed something surprising to the five Kage.

Madara's eyes, previously the Mangekyo Sharingan, quickly changed into eyes with a purple color and a pattern like layered rings on the eyeball.

The five Kage recognized these eyes as the same eyes the leader of Akatsuki possessed. Upon further investigation, they also knew these were the same eyes as the Sage of the Six Paths.

With his eyes restored, Madara activated his Susanoo again, this time with a larger size. While clapping his hands, Madara mumbled.

"Tengai Shinsei!"

Suddenly, a massive shadow appeared, and all surviving ninjas looked up. In an instant, they completely lost hope.

"Is this truly human power?"

One ninja who had given up spoke, rejecting the reality in front of their eyes.

Although the alliance had lost hope, the Kage still believed this was not the end.

Oonoki, who had the ability to fly, rushed ahead to intercept the meteor about to fall on them. However, Oonoki was quickly outpaced.

Right before Oonoki launched his attack, a massive wave of slashes suddenly emerged from below.

Quickly evading the attack, even though he knew the attack wasn't directly aimed at him, Oonoki fully understood the dreadfulness of the slashes.

Proven by the first Meteor that froze on the first slash, split on the second, and shattered on the third.

The same happened to the second Meteor, which was positioned right behind the first Meteor. Despite its much larger size, it didn't change the outcome when struck by the attack.

Everyone, including Madara and Obito, immediately looked towards the source of the attack.

What they found there was a young man with shoulder-length black hair, a handsome face, wearing a plain black tunic that somehow looked very fitting on him. In his hands was a beautifully crafted sword, seemingly made of carved ice, although no one thought the weapon was genuinely made of ice.

The person was none other than Kaoru, striking a pose and wanting to look cool.

Realizing that everyone was paying attention to him, Kaoru then spoke.

"It's okay if I join now, right?"
