I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

When Hashirama saw this scene he wanted to use Wood Release to suppress Madara again.

However, before Hashirama could use his Ninjutsu, Madara quickly formed hand seals, and the Black Receiver that pierced Hashirama's chest activated, sealing Hashirama's Chakra and restraining him.

Due to implanting his Rinnegan eyes in Nagato back then, Madara was naturally blind.

"Hashirama, I told you, I will achieve victory in this war," Madara patted the ash on his body and said with a smirk.

"Remnants of the past, don't come out and embarrass yourself. Go back to the garbage dump of history!"

Just as Madara was proudly telling Hashirama about his victory, Sasuke took action, his Sharingan spinning wildly as he used Amaterasu on Madara.

The black flames burned Madara's armor fiercely, but Madara didn't show a hint of fear. He just turned his head toward where Sasuke was.

For him, not having eyes was a bit inconvenient, but that was all.

Madara quickly absorbed Amaterasu. Although he didn't have his Rinnegan now, since it evolved on its own, he could still use some of Rinnegan's basic abilities.

These basic abilities were not worth mentioning compared to the unique abilities of the Rinnegan, but they still had some use.

But Amaterasu was, after all, a Mangekyou Sharingan's technique. Madara's body was unharmed, but the upper part of his armor had indeed fallen off, revealing Madara's well-built body and Hashirama's face on his chest.

"Tsk, you're just a third-rate Uchiha who's not even half as good as me," Madara said arrogantly, paying no attention to Sasuke and continuing to approach Hashirama.

"Sasuke, Madara can absorb Ninjutsu. Pure Ninjutsu is meaningless." Naruto reminded.

"Hashirama, do you remember the discussion we had in front of the Uchiha Shrine that day?" Madara closed his eyes and walked toward Hashirama while asking Hashirama a question.

But before Hashirama could answer, Madara answered his own question.

"That day, you said when two opposing forces work together, it will bring true happiness, but actually there is another way to interpret it, right?"

"...," Hashirama did not say a word. He felt uneasy as he looked at his face on Madara's chest.

Madara kept walking toward Hashirama, saying:

"The two opposing forces can be interpreted as Senju and Uchiha, and those who can obtain both Uchiha and Senju's power can obtain everything."

Listening to Madara's words, Hashirama found that Madara wasn't just spouting nonsense.

Senju and Uchiha have always been enemies since ancient times, and that was recorded in both clans' histories, so there was nothing wrong by saying that the two clans were two opposing forces was completely valid.

"It seems you've made quite a few plans since leaving the village," Hashirama said in a deep voice. He wanted to solve all the troubles for the younger generation, but it seems he had to rely on them now.

"Haha," Madara burst into laughter and then attacked Naruto and Sasuke.

Madara's sudden burst of speed was terrifying; Naruto and Sasuke couldn't react in time and were instantly knocked away.

After knocking away Naruto and Sasuke, there was no one else who could stop Madara from approaching Hashirama.

Hashirama could only watch helplessly as Naruto and Sasuke were knocked away in front of him, and he couldn't do anything. The Black Receiver completely rendered him useless.

Madara reached Hashirama's neck and began to absorb a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra from Hashirama.

After absorbing Hashirama's Senjutsu Chakra, Hashirama's face on Madara's chest now resembled Hashirama when he activated Sage Mode. Madara had successfully obtained Hashirama's Sage Art!

Madara clenched his fist as he sized up the power of the Sage Art and then smirked, "This power very easy to control."

While Madara was absorbing Hashirama's power, Sasuke lifted Naruto, who had been knocked into the ground.

After getting back up Naruto, Sasuke drew his Sword of Kusanagi and approached Madara, "Madara, I'll make you regret giving up your immortal body, because I'm going to kill you."

After saying that, Sasuke charged at Madara.

Madara just blocked with his hand in response.

But that was the Sword of Kusanagi, which could cut through even the Third Raikage's indestructible body, especially now that it was imbued with Chakra. Madara's hand couldn't block it.

But Madara also punched Sasuke, sending Sasuke back.

"Hashirama's power is indeed amazing," Madara laughed when he felt that his arm was healed.

Avoiding Sasuke's strike was easy for him; he just wanted to test the Sage Art power he obtained from Hashirama.

He was taught a hard lesson back in the day when he fought Hashirama as Hashirama's regenerative ability was too incredible.

He could heal quickly even without making hand seals. Even if his body was severed, it would quickly recover.

"You aren't too shabby, considering you're a fellow survivor of the Uchiha Clan. If you join me, I might spare you," Madara said lightly.

"Heh, you're no Uchiha survivor. You're just a walking corpse," Sasuke retorted, seemingly gaining some confidence, perhaps from landing a hit on Madara or due to his personality.

"Haha! Unfortunately, I don't have much time to spare. There's another opponent on this battlefield, and I need to finish my preparations quickly. Otherwise, I may play with you a bit longer." Madara laughed and exhaled a large amount of ash from his mouth.

"Fire Release: Art of Hiding in Ash!"

Ash covered the area and obscured both Sasuke and Naruto's vision. When they tried to locate Madara, they discovered that he had vanished from the vicinity.

After using the Art of Hiding in Ash, Madara swiftly moved past numerous Shinobi and instantly got to the Eight Tailed Beasts.

"Beasts, are you ready to be collared again?" Madara leaped high and stood in front of the Tailed Beasts.

In most people's eyes, Tailed Beasts were fierce creatures, moving calamities, and extremely terrifying entities.

However, to Madara, they were nothing more than unruly beasts.

What do you do with unruly beasts? Well, you give them a good beating!

Hearing the disdain in Madara's words, the short-tempered Shukaku couldn't take it and spewed out sand bullets towards Madara.

A large barrage of sand bullets was hard to dodge, but Madara had no intention of dodging in the first place. There was no need to dodge when dealing with these beasts.

Madara charged at the Tailed Beasts, but he was suddenly stopped on his track. He looked around and noticed that Gaara, who was standing in front of Shukaku had seized this opportunity to use a Sealing Technique.

Seeing that Madara was immobilized, the other Tailed Beasts immediately threw their unique attacks on him. Eventually, after all the Tailed Beasts had attacked, Shukaku and Gaara completed the Sealing Technique, trapping Madara inside a double-layered sand pyramid covered in sealing marks.

"Is he finally sealed?" one of the Tailed Beasts asked.

Dealing with someone like Madara was troublesome for them.

But shortly after, a massive blue sword cut through the sand pyramid, breaking the seal. Madara actually used Susanoo to break Gaara's seal without Mangekyo Sharingan or Rinnegan!

"Beasts, I'll personally put the collars back on you," Madara laughed maniacally as he charged toward the Tailed Beasts.

His time was running out, and he needed to attain the Sage of the Six Paths' power before the Second Hokage from another world caught on. If he didn't make it in time, the outcome would be unknown. 

"Nice try!" Naruto caught up with Madara and knocked him down with claws made of Nine-Tails' Chakra! 

This sudden change surprised everyone. Naruto was already in his Tailed Beast Mode, and the rest of the Tailed Beasts also rallied behind him and ganged up on Madara, knocking him away.

Just when the Tailed Beasts were preparing to pursue him, a white figure emerged from the ground.

"Lord Madara, I apologize for the delay," White Zetsu said with a grin.

He had come to deliver the Rinnegan to Madara.

Although Obito had obtained two Rinnegan from Nagato, he was afraid that he couldn't handle both of them, especially since he valued Kamui highly. Therefore, he decided to only transplant one Rinnegan and hid the other. However, collecting information was Zetsu's specialty, and there was no way to hide it from them.

Madara didn't waste any time. He severed White Zetsu's arm that held the Rinnegan and immediately transplanted it.

Perhaps it was because of his Hashirama cells within him or the effect of his Sage Art, but after the Rinnegan was attached, White Zetsu's arm was healed as well, as if it wasn't severed in the first place.

"Hahaha, this power is just ridiculous!" Madara laughed.

Now that he obtained his own Rinnegan, he won! The nine Tailed Beasts were nothing before him now. Once he absorbed all nine Tailed Beasts, he would become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and at that point, even the Second Hokage from the other world would only have one fate—defeat.

"Summoning: Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!" Madara casually summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"How can this be? He shouldn't be able to summon the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path since he's a reanimated corpse?" one of the Tailed Beasts said in disbelief.

"No, he's no longer a reanimated corpse. He has been completely resurrected," Naruto explained.

Madara glanced at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path he had summoned, noticing that it had lost one of its arms. However, this didn't bother him!

"Let me show you what true power is!" Madara jumped onto the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's head and shouted.

"Limbo: Border Jail!" Madara's Rinnegan suddenly activated, unleashing its unique ability.

Similar to the Mangekyo Sharingan, Rinnegan also possessed its distinct powers, unique to each individual. Moreover, these powers could only be used by the Rinnegan's true owner.

Unlike Nagato and Obito, who merely transplanted Rinnegan into their body, and could only use its most basic abilities, Madara could use Limbo: Border Jail.

An invisible clone, unseen by everyone but Madara, was dispatched.

Boom!

While the Tailed Beasts were surprised by the appearance of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Shukaku was sent flying.

This was not the end; it's just the beginning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, a series of heavy blows knocked the nine Tailed Beasts, leaving them unable to move.

This was so sudden that Gaara's eyes widened. He quickly manipulated his sand to retreat as this unknown power was dangerous.

However, Madara's goal was not Gaara; he didn't care about the so-called Five Kage. Right now, he only wanted to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and achieve his goal.

Madara clasped his hands together, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path immediately spewed out nine purple chains, binding the nine Tailed Beasts tightly and pulling them toward the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Only after he was truly resurrected and obtained his own Rinnegan could Madara truly shine as he instantly defeated the nine Tailed Beasts.

This was the legendary ninja, Madara Uchiha!

...

"Hehe, Obito, you're nothing but a useless piece of trash. You still think you can still go against Madara's plan? But the difference between you and him is too great. Madara had already calculated everything about you."

After using Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, Black Zetsu still mocked Obito instead of instantly leaving.

"What the hell is he? He doesn't look like a human," Minato asked Kakashi.

"He's a member of a dangerous organization," Kakashi quickly answered Minato's question and then frowned at Black Zetsu. "But wasn't this guy captured?"

"Hehe," Black Zetsu laughed mockingly again. "You and Obito are underestimating Madara's plan. I am the incarnation of Madara's will. Catching me was wishful thinking."

"Obito, you'll die anyway now that you've used Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, so you should at least let me make use of you to deal with them before giving the Rinnegan to Madara."

"Deal with us? You're quite arrogant for a pile of mud," Nagasawa clutched his sword tightly, and a dark red flame burst forth, turning into a fiery dragon that struck Obito, who was possessed by Black Zetsu.

Nagasawa didn't hold anything against Obito, but he found Black Zetsu extremely annoying. Since Black Zetsu taunted him, he wouldn't hesitate to kill Black Zetsu and Obito together, as Obito himself would die soon.

Black Zetsu's pitch-black half-face had no expression, making it impossible to discern his thoughts. It was as if he was completely unfazed by the flames that engulfed him.

Just as Black Zetsu and Nagasawa were facing off, suddenly, Obito's body underwent another shocking change. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path emerged from Obito's body.

The massive and hideous Demonic Statue of the Outer Path appeared in the area.

The moment the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path appeared, Black Zetsu once again turned into a pool of sludge and burrowed into the ground.

If it weren't for Nagasawa, Black Zetsu might have chosen to fight Minato and Kakashi using Obito's body as using Obito's severely damaged body would be suicidal.

Nevertheless, Nagasawa immediately used his Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power to punch the ground, causing a powerful shockwave to strike the ground. As a result, numerous massive cracks appeared in the ground due to the overwhelming force.

Nagasawa intended to kill Black Zetsu, while Kakashi wanted to prevent the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from being summoned as Kakashi immediately used his Kamui.

Unfortunately, the power of one Sharingan was limited, and Kakashi only managed to sever one of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's arms, failing to stop Madara from summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."
