After he appeared, Masahiko kept observing everyoneâs expressions.
Orochimaru was slightly surprised at first, and then looked calm again, and Masahiko couldnât tell what he was thinking about after that.
There was an âI knew itâ expression on Tobiramaâs face since he had never believed the news of Masahikoâs death.
Hashirama and Sakumo were surprised at first, and then even more surprised later.
On the other hand, Hiruzenâs expression was more complicated. First, he was surprised, then both surprised and excited, and finally slightly worried.
âHmm, no guilty? It seems that Minatoâs affairs have little to do with him, so Danzo did it⌠or is he good at acting?â
The various thoughts in Masahikoâs heart turned around, and it only took a moment.
The next thing he thought about is punching someone who was very dear to him!
Boom!
Shaking his arm, Masahiko was speechless for a while, looking at Madara, who took a few steps backward.
âIâm not dead. Are you so excited? Madara.â
Madara stabilized his figure and calmed down.
The impulse just now was just because⌠he caught him off guard.
He just heard the good news and was hit suddenly.
This wasnât his original body, and his power wasnât even half of his heyday, and he might be incapable of facing Masahiko.\n
âHuh, old man! You mean youâre not dead yet!â
Masahiko smiled and then greeted the other two, âHashirama and Tobirama, long time no see.â
âFor us, it hasnât been a long time since the last thing we remember is seeing you, Second Grandpa,â Tobirama spoke lightly, making Masahikoâs expression stiff.
âThatâs right, they seem to see me every time they open their eyes⌠this is a bit embarrassing.â
âSecond Grandpa, itâs been a long time indeed.â Hashirama tried to save him.
âElder Masahiko! How are youâŚâ Hiruzen couldnât say anything.
âI just wanted to see what will happen to this world without me, so I decided to die once, donât worry about it.â Masahiko tried to act cool. He wouldnât say there was a problem with his training.
âElder, itâs great that youâre not dead, please persuade Orochimaru!â Jiraiya shouted.
Masahiko ignored him, and turned to Madara, then asked, âWho took your eyes back then?â
âDo you really expect me to tell you, old man?â
Masahiko smiled, made a fist with his right hand, and sighed, âHave you ever seen stars in the light of day, Madara? Orochimaru, donât you dare lift the Edo Tensei technique!â
âAs you wish, Elder.â
Masahiko instantly flashed in front of Madara, âRight UpperuuCutuuuu!â
Madara parried with his left hand, but Masahiko shook him with his left.
âDamn you, old man!â Madara yelled, and the blue Susanoo gradually started to take form around his floating figure.
Masahiko retracted his right arm back, and the Chakra started condensing to the palm of his hand, âSusanoo, huh? Why donât you try eating my Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!â\nCountess powerful shadow fists burst out of the air, and the Susanoo that has just condensed around Madara shattered instantly, leaving nothing!
Even Madara has disappeared in this barrage of Shadow Fists!
âHuh, it was too much. I forget that Madara has less than half of his power nowâŚâ Masahiko cursed secretly, âIâll wait for him to recover after a while.â
Scratching his head, Masahiko turned his head in anguish and found that the rear has turned into a forest.
It seems that Hashirama has blocked the aftermath from reaching Hiruzen.
âOh man, I forgot that Iâm this strong now. Itâs really troublesome.â Masahiko said that, but in fact, he was smiling.
âElder, youâve become stronger,â Orochimaru spoke slowly.
Masahiko glanced at him and smiled, âHave you received an invitation from the Akatsuki? Are you interested in becoming my spy?â
Masahiko became dedicated to finding another spy since Ringo has probably become unreliable after the news of his death. Moreover, the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out, and the Land of Rain became one of the battlefields. God knows where she is right now.
âAn invitation from the Akatsuki? I didnât receive one.â
Masahiko was startled, âThen why did you defect?â
âMore importantly, where did you get Madaraâs cells?â
As he spoke, the trees that had just emerged from the ground burrowed back again, and Tobirama, Hashirama, and Hiruzen appeared after a few moments.
âSecond Grandpa, youâre getting stronger and stronger.â
Masahiko took a deep breath, glanced at the silent Orochimaru, and then at Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen⌠then felt like they should talk about the past first.
âOf course, Iâm getting stronger. Iâm not Hiruzen.â\n\nMadaraâs face darkened, âDamn you, old man!â
âHey, youâre called Orochimaru, right? Lift the restrictions on my power. Otherwise, you wonât escape alive from this old man!â
Masahiko said with a smile, âGive up, Madara, Orochimaru is on my side. The only possible way for this to end is to let me kick your ass and die in peace.â
Hearing him say this, Orochimaru actually nodded, making Madara speechless for a while.
âDamn you, old manâŚâ Madara said this today more than he did in his entire life.
Masahiko smiled and said, âOrochimaru, youâre very promising. Donât defect, how about coming to the Land of Whirlpools? I will figure out a way for things to work out. You only need to summon out Madara to relieve my boredom every few hours.â
âOld man! Madaraâs face flushed, and he immediately looked at Tobirama, âThis is all because of your damn Ninjutsu!â
Masahiko smiled, âHow about it, Madara, are you gonna tell me?â
There was a bit of âcanât watch thisâ expression on Hashiramaâs face, and he tried to change the topic, âSecond Grandpa, you said Madaraâs eyes were taken away?â
âAh, yes, thereâs a nasty organization going by the name, the Akatsuki. I have been tracking down the identity of their leader.â
Madara breathed a sigh of relief, âIt looks like that guy has done a good job in causing you troubles, old man.â
Masahiko turned his head and said, âItâs no problem, just curiosity. Madara, no one in the world can beat me. Didnât you feel how powerful my punch just now?â
âNo one can beat you? Ridiculous, Madara burst into laughter.
Masahiko paused and sighed, âIs it that funny? Madara.â
Masahiko clenched his right hand, slowly moved it in front of him, and sighed, âIt seems that you want to see more stars!â
