On the battlefield, Uchiha Madara's showboating continued unabated.
The Allied Shinobi Forces were no match for him—not even a single opponent could last a round against him!
"Compared to him, all the boasting he did earlier was just setting the stage for you~ to steal the spotlight!"
Seeing Uchiha Madara show off so effortlessly, Hashirama Senju couldn't help but itch with envy, wishing he could return to the ninja world right then and there to flaunt his own skills!
Noticing his expression, Lin Xuan chuckled and said, "Hashirama, don't be impatient. Let Madara have his fun for now. In a few more episodes, it'll be your turn! When the time comes, you just need to—"
He was merely teasing, like an internet commenter casually throwing out a remark, but Hashirama took it seriously and nodded solemnly. "You're right. After all, I've mastered the Evil Sealing Technique now. I'll make sure Madara gets a taste of it!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Did you forget I can hear everything you're saying?
Because he was distracted by their conversation, Madara left an opening, allowing the younger generation—Ōnoki, Gaara, and Naruto Uzumaki—to coordinate a joint attack.
Ōnoki and Gaara worked together to create an opportunity for Naruto.
"Rasenshuriken!"
Naruto seized the moment and hurled a massive, spiraling wind blade straight at Uchiha Madara.
Faced with the deafening whirl of the enormous shuriken hurtling toward him, Madara activated his Rinnegan and effortlessly absorbed the colossal wind-style jutsu.
The Allied Shinobi Forces were stunned, especially Naruto, who recognized the Rinnegan and wore an expression of utter disbelief.
Madara was quite pleased with himself—this was a solid display of power.
But then, another wave of sarcastic remarks flooded his mind.
"Hey, Madara, are you just following the script I showed you? At this rate, your performance is even worse than the original plot!" Lin Xuan teased.
"Yeah, Madara, if you keep this up, we're turning off the live stream. This is boring!" Hashirama chimed in.
"Script? What script?" Master Roshi asked, confused.
Madara's eye twitched in irritation. He couldn't take it anymore and roared in the chat group:
"It's all because of you idiots distracting me with your nonsense!"
The chat group fell silent.
Madara sighed in relief and turned his attention back to the Allied Shinobi Forces, contemplating his next grand move.
But then, Lin Xuan and the others started up again.
"Wow, I never realized Madara was such a sore loser," Lin Xuan sighed.
"Yeah, who knew he'd blame others for his own shortcomings? I'm disappointed," Hashirama said, shaking his head.
"Still too young. Needs more training," Master Roshi added sagely.
"ENOUGH! SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Madara's desire to show off evaporated instantly.
These three were absolutely toxic.
In frustration, he leaped over to where the Second Tsuchikage was spectating.
At that moment, Kabuto Yakushi—who had been secretly impressed by Madara's display—put on a calm front and said, "See? I told you this reanimated body would allow you to surpass even your prime."
He expected Madara to be shocked by his knowledge and even prepared a follow-up explanation.
Instead, Madara gave him a cold glance and said flatly, "It's because of Orochimaru, isn't it?"
"WHAT?!"
Kabuto, remotely controlling the Second Tsuchikage, nearly choked. His eyes widened in disbelief.
How does Uchiha Madara know about my experiments with Orochimaru-sama?!
Madara smirked inwardly. Through the Second Tsuchikage's body, he could sense Kabuto's panic.
Honestly, knowing the future made it incredibly satisfying to cut people off mid-boast.
After a long pause, Kabuto finally regained his composure. Masking his shock with a forced smile, he said, "As expected of Uchiha Madara. But the stronger you are, the more it proves that reanimating you was the right decision!"
Hearing this, Madara's gaze turned even more mocking.
He couldn't be bothered to engage with Kabuto anymore and simply ignored him.
If it weren't for this meddler, I wouldn't have been reanimated early, nor would I have this chance to change the future…
Originally, according to the Naruto plot, Madara's next move would be to summon a meteor with "Tengai Shinsei" to wipe out a chunk of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
But now that he knew the truth of the future, he had no intention of following that path.
Still, he needed to deal with these nuisances somehow.
So—
"BOOM!"
A terrifying pressure suddenly engulfed the battlefield!
This was none other than Conqueror's Haki, which he had recently learned in the One Piece world!
The moment he unleashed it, shinobi began dropping like flies, collapsing unconscious en masse.
Only Naruto, Gaara, Ōnoki, and a few others remained standing.
Everyone—whether on the battlefield or watching from afar (like Kabuto)—was dumbfounded.
What just happened?
What did Uchiha Madara do?!
"Hey, Madara, don't get too carried away. Overdoing it will backfire!"
Hashirama, watching the live broadcast, facepalmed and hurriedly warned him.
He was worried Madara's excessive reveals would alter the future—what if it prevented his own reanimation later?
Madara just snorted and replied telepathically, "Relax. It won't affect your return."
Then, with a disappointed sweep of his eyes over the unconscious shinobi, he sighed and said, "I barely exerted any pressure, and your so-called Allied Shinobi Forces have already collapsed? Pathetic."
Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh. "Damn, turning a near slip-up into another flex? Truly the 'Dancing King of Konoha'—no, the 'Greatest Show-Off of Konoha'!"
Uchiha Madara: "..."
What the hell is 'Dancing King of Konoha'? And since when was I the 'Greatest Show-Off'?!
