After instructing White Zetsu, Uchiha Madara temporarily put the matter of the three kids out of his mind and rushed north to the Land of Rain at full speed!
According to the information White Zetsu provided at any time, Uchiha Madara accurately found the place where the Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village had broken out in war.
In a single leap, Uchiha Madara, wearing bright red armor, directly descended into the center of the Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village troop camps. With his arms crossed and his long black hair fluttering in the wind, his domineering aura was unmistakable!
However, a gust of wind and sand blew past, and nothing happened...
This was very awkward.
Uchiha Madara had deliberately chosen a domineering landing pose, but why was there no one around?! Wasn't this supposed to be the battlefield where the Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village were fighting fiercely?!
Opening his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Uchiha Madara looked around at the camps on both sides.
On the Hidden Rain Village side, various items were scattered all over the ground. There was no one to be seen. It was a scene after the birds and beasts had dispersed.
On the Hidden Stone Village side, dozens of older ninjas were nonchalantly making a fire to cook, and there wasn't even a single guard on duty, which led to them not noticing Uchiha Madara at all.
With veins popping out on his forehead, Uchiha Madara slammed the ground hard!
"White Zetsu! Get out here! Where are the people from the Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village?! Didn't you say they were [N O V E L I G H T] fighting fiercely!?"
White Zetsu shot out from underground, reporting with cold sweat on his forehead:
"Madara... Madara-sama... This is what happened. Just a dozen minutes ago, the Hidden Rain Village and Hidden Stone Village were fighting fiercely. The news of your sudden appearance and slaying of Salamander Hanzo reached the Hidden Rain ninjas. The Hidden Rain commander collapsed on the spot, leading the Hidden Rain troops to turn around and flee. The Hidden Stone ninjas, led by the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, went after them!"
Uchiha Madara was speechless. Did this mean it was his fault?
"Where are those Hidden Rain and Hidden Stone ninjas now!?"
"They're in the due south direction. They're about to reach a valley while chasing and fleeing!"
"Okay, I understand. Report again!"
"Yes, Madara-sama!"
White Zetsu fearfully shrank back into the ground.
Uchiha Madara was in a bad mood. He turned around and looked at the Hidden Stone Village camp. His hands quickly formed seals:
"Fire Release! Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
A terrifying sea of fire surged out from Uchiha Madara, heading straight for the Hidden Stone Village's camp!
The dozens of ninjas, who had no vigilance and no reaction at all, suddenly felt that something was wrong. Turning their heads to look, they saw that the terrifying滔天 [Taotian, overwhelming] flames had directly broken through the camp gate, carrying scorching heat and burning toward them!
Their eyes widened, their hearts filled with fear. It was already too late to have any reaction!
Boom! The overwhelming flames swept through the Hidden Stone camp, and all the tents and supplies were burned to ashes!
What? What happened to those dozens of Hidden Stone ninjas? Of course, they were burned to a crisp, leaving not even渣 [zha, residue]!
Uchiha Madara blew on the heat from his mouth, turned around and left! He rushed towards the north at top speed!
Uchiha Madara's speed was terrifyingly fast. His traveling speed alone was much faster than that of a large army.
Before the Hidden Rain ninjas and Hidden Stone ninjas arrived, Uchiha Madara skipped them and stood above the valley they were about to arrive at, looking down at the situation below.
This was a long and narrow valley. Uchiha Madara was at the top of the valley. Later, the valley below would be the only road for the Hidden Rain to flee and the Hidden Stone to chase.
After observing, Uchiha Madara immediately understood that this was a good place to ambush!
After standing there for about two minutes, the people who should come finally came from the depths of the valley on one side.
A group of Hidden Rain ninjas, about a thousand in number. They were all disheveled, with tired expressions, and were fleeing forward quickly.
Leading the Hidden Rain ninjas was a Hidden Rain commander. He was an elite Jonin under Hanzo's command. He was originally leading the ninjas to resist the Hidden Stone ninjas' attack, but unexpectedly, he suddenly heard such news!
The Hidden Rain commander was traveling in front with a flustered expression. One of the Hidden Rain ninjas next to him couldn't help but lean over and ask:
"Commander, Hanzo-sama... is he really dead!?"
The rain ninja commander's Adam's apple moved unnaturally up and down, and he sighed:
"Alas... that's right, that's really what happened. It is said that he was killed by the suddenly appearing Uchiha Madara!"
"What! Uchiha Madara! The one who competed with the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage Senju Hashirama! But wasn't he killed by the First Hokage long ago?"
"Who said that wasn't the case? But several consecutive urgent letters were written like that, so I can't disbelieve it! Now that a powerful enemy has appeared near the Land of Rain and Hanzo-sama has sacrificed himself, we must shrink our troops! We must first return to the Daimyo City to protect the Daimyo-sama!"
"But, Commander, what about the Tsuchikage and the Hidden Stone ninjas who have been chasing us?"
"We can't manage that much! Compared to them, Uchiha Madara is even more dangerous!"
Their conversation was heard by Uchiha Madara word for word. Uchiha Madara stood at the top of the valley and laughed wildly. The laughter echoed in the valley:
"Hahahahaha... Little Hidden Rain ninjas! You do have some knowledge! You know the danger of me, Uchiha Madara!"
The terrifying echo filled the valley. The Hidden Rain ninjas, who were already frightened, were shocked and stopped quickly, taking out their kunai and vigilantly on guard.
The leading Hidden Rain commander was holding a kunai and anxiously checking his surroundings:
"No way, we just mentioned Uchiha Madara, and Uchiha Madara appeared! Is it him!? Where is he!?"
"Idiot! Above your head!"
A domineering figure descended from the sky. Uchiha Madara stood in front of the Hidden Rain commander with a half-smile!
Looking at Uchiha's stern face, the Hidden Rain commander was horrified, and subconsciously stabbed his kunai in front of him!
With a snap, his wrist was broken. Uchiha Madara slapped his heart:
"Inhibiting Curse Seal!"
Black curse seal patterns quickly scurried from Uchiha Madara's palm into his body, wrapping around the Hidden Rain commander's heart!
With a sinister smile, Uchiha Madara's figure moved quickly between the few strong Hidden Rain ninjas around him. With a few slaps, he also planted the Inhibiting Curse Seal on their hearts!
