Facing Uchiha Madara's gaze, Konan remained expressionless.
Seeing that Konan was unmoved, Madara spoke, "Konan, hand over the Rinnegan, and I will let bygones be bygones."
Konan sneered and said, "You old fool, you're delusional."
Konan had long known from Shishou about the plots that Madara and Obito had orchestrated against Yahiko and Nagato. Naturally, she had no goodwill towards Madara. Moreover, having awakened the power of Hashirama and the White Snake Sage's bloodline, she was no longer who she used to be.
"You insolent fool," Madara snarled in fury, launching himself towards Konan.
Konan raised her right hand, aiming at the approaching Madara.
"Shinra Tensei!"
With a bang, the unprepared Madara was blasted away. He twisted mid-air and landed on the sea, brushing off his clothes. "You've mastered the Rinnegan's abilities well. Impressive, Konan."
Konan snorted in response.
Seeing this, Obito formed a hand seal.
"The reunion is over. It's time for you all to fight," he commanded.
With Obito's deeper control over the Edo Tensei technique, the reanimated figures charged towards Konan and her group, leaving only the Second Hokage Tobirama and the Fourth Hokage Minato to guard him.
Obito's body had been entirely replaced with Hashirama cells by Orochimaru, significantly increasing his power and enhancing his control over the Edo Tensei technique. However, exceptions always existed, such as Hashirama and Madara, whom Obito couldn't control. Hashirama's exceptionally powerful reanimation limited Obito to merely binding him, unable to command him directly—something Obito hadn't anticipated.
Konan turned to Tsunade and the others, saying, "I'll take on Madara. You all pick your opponents."
With that, Konan flew towards the approaching Madara, who had activated his Rinnegan.
Rimei Hyuga spoke up, "According to Shishou, Edo Tensei bodies destroyed by Truth-Seeking Balls can't regenerate. Once you defeat your opponent, I'll finish them off."
As soon as she finished speaking, Rimei activated her Tenseigan mode, summoning Truth-Seeking Balls and charging towards Obito's reanimated army. With her brief access to Six Paths power and mastery of Truth-Seeking Balls, she was a formidable force, unmatched except by Madara and Hashirama.
Following Rimei, Kushina Uzumaki bit her lip and transformed into her appearance, summoning Truth-Seeking Balls as well. Due to the significant power gap between her and Shishou, she typically transformed into Rimei Hyuga to conserve energy.
Yugito Nii looked at the Third Raikage, Kinkaku, and Ginkaku. "We'll take on the Third Raikage and the Gold and Silver Brothers."
With that, she, along with Samui and Mabui, who had activated their Sage Mode, charged towards the Third Raikage.
Tsunade sighed and rushed towards the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, while Mei Terumi engaged the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki.
Pakura confronted Rasa, and Mikoto Uchiha engaged Hanzo of the Salamander.
The priestess Miroku and Eri Uzumaki targeted the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, aiming to restrict his movements with sealing techniques.
As the battle raged on the sea surrounding Amegakure, explosions and shockwaves echoed continuously.
"Wow, so many have mastered Sage Mode. Who are these people?" Hashirama exclaimed, still restrained, shocked by the sight of multiple women activating Sage Mode.
"Has Sage Mode become so common now?"
Beside him, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, spoke up. "The one fighting the Third Hokage should be Tsuna."
Despite Tsunade wearing a mask, Tobirama, who doted on his grandniece, recognized her instantly.
"Tsunade has mastered Sage Mode?" Hashirama said, delighted to see Tsunade disarm Hiruzen with ease. Despite his frustration at being reanimated, seeing Tsunade's growth brought him joy.
Listening to their conversation, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, remained silent, his gaze fixed on the masked Kushina. He felt a sense of familiarity but then an odd detachment, which confused him.
Obito's face darkened as he watched the Third Hokage, Hanzo, and others being quickly dealt with. "Who are these women, and why are they so strong?"
These were top-tier shinobi of the ninja world, yet they were swiftly eliminated by Konan's summoned women, particularly those wielding golden swords that nullified the regeneration of Edo Tensei bodies.
Seeing the Third Raikage being finished off by Rimei, Obito poured more chakra into the technique, tightening his control.
In the next moment, the Second Hokage and the Fourth Hokage lost consciousness, joining the battle.
With the addition of two Flying Thunder God users, the battlefield began to even out.
"Truth-Seeking Balls!"
In the distance, Madara, battling Konan, noticed Rimei and Kushina's golden swords and the orbs behind them, deducing the cause of the irreparable damage to the Edo Tensei bodies. This realization shocked him.
How could there be people capable of using Truth-Seeking Balls in the ninja world?
Madara had spent decades acquiring the Rinnegan, and now two individuals wielded Truth-Seeking Balls?
Hearing Madara, Konan smirked. "Madara, everything you've worked decades for, Shishou achieved in a few years. How does that make you feel?"
Madara frowned. "Who is Shishou?"
Konan laughed. "Someone who surpassed you in a few years and attained Six Paths' power."
In a few years? That's impossible!
Madara was stunned, turning his gaze to Rimei and Kushina. Realizing he was being taunted, he roared, "Don't lie to me!"
His body immediately surrounded by the blue Complete Susanoo.
Having finished off Hanzo, Mikoto also activated her Complete Susanoo, charging at Madara.
Seeing Mikoto's Susanoo, both Madara and Obito were stunned.
"An Uchiha?"
