"It's fine, Rin!" Looking at Rin, Obito said again.
"I've just figured some things out. Come over, let's talk!"
"Okay!" Hearing Obito's sincere words, Rin completely lowered her guard.
The long-separated team reunited once more. Nearby, Kushina watched the battlefield, lost in thought.
However, the discussion between Obito, Kakashi, Rin, and Kushina was already irrelevant.
At this moment, at the very center of the battlefield, Sora had finished explaining his plans for the future.
In Sora's plan, he would become the Soul King, unify the Ninja World, and establish the Soul Society in the Pure Land.
This way, war on the surface would be eliminated. Everyone would strive towards the same goal for a better new life.
Also, because the Soul Society would be under Sora's jurisdiction, even after death, people couldn't escape judgment, which would deter evildoers on the surface.
And because evildoers would be deterred, good people could also live longer.
Not only that, in the new world, a single short lifetime wouldn't be the end. After death, people could live another lifetime in the Soul Society.
If they were Ninjas in life, after death they could be granted Gigai to return to the Living World occasionally to see their families.
This way, only reincarnation would be the true departure! The world would be incredibly wonderful!
Sora also said that with another life after death, wars in the present reality would become unimportant.
For this mistake, he could forgive everyone. As for the dead, he could also resurrect them using Gigai.
With him taking action, forgiving everything with immense magnanimity, it would be as if nothing had happened!
"So, do you agree with such a proposal, people of Konoha?" Sora asked.
"I..." Hiruzen wavered!
Truly, because what Sora described was far too wonderful.
So wonderful that even Hiruzen wanted to let go of his ambitions, because the Soul King would bear all the sin!
However, Hiruzen was Konoha's Hokage, and a retired one at that. Some decisions are something he couldn't make.
So, thinking, Hiruzen looked around at everyone.
Only then did he realize that Orochimaru's eyes were shining, and Homura, Koharu, and the others were also very eager.
Not just them, everyone facing this situation desired it!
Thus, Hiruzen made up his mind!
"..."
"I disagree!" An arrogant, overbearing voice cut in, suddenly interrupting Hiruzen's words.
Hearing this voice, Hiruzen and the others turned, glaring angrily.
But when they saw the speaker's appearance, they suddenly froze!
Led by Hiruzen, the older generation of Konoha trembled: "Uchiha... Uchiha Madara!"
Correct, the one interrupting Hiruzen was none other than the former Shura of the Ninja World, Uchiha Madara!
But the problem was, how could Madara appear here?
"Wait!" Hiruzen remembered. This time they were cooperating with Obito, and Obito seemed to have mentioned this.
"Ah, this..." Hiruzen choked up.
Then there was no other way!
In this world, the strong decide everything. They could only comply.
Madara's statement, they couldn't stop unless Madara was defeated!
Thinking this, Hiruzen looked at the others and led everyone to silently retreat.
In response, Sora also waved to his own side to retreat.
The upcoming battlefield would only have him and Madara.
Then, after everyone had left, looking at Madara, Sora's eyes showed contempt: "You disagree? Who do you think you are?"
"In the Pure Land, even the Sage of Six Paths was sealed by me! Do you think you can still oppose me?"
"Why not?" Madara's expression was arrogant.
"How many battles has the Sage of Six Paths experienced? How many have I experienced?"
"The current me possesses both Wood Release power and Uchiha power… the fusion of the two former gods of the Ninja World. Why wouldn't I have the power to fight?" Madara retorted.
"Oh?" Such a Madara made Sora laugh: "In the past, there was only one God in the Ninja World, and that was Senju Hashirama!"
"When Senju Hashirama used Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands, you couldn't win even with the Nine-Tails, so don't glorify yourself!"
"You've gathered the power of two gods? Try using Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands then?"
Sora mocked.
"I'll use it then!" Madara was very confident: "The current me is even more powerful than in my prime!"
"Behold, Yuki Sora, my Sage Mode!"
As he spoke, Madara let out a low roar.
The skin all over his body began to develop patterns and turn black.
Simultaneously, two horns grew from the top of Madara's head!
Looking at Madara's appearance, Sora was very confused. This didn't look like Sage Mode, and he'd believe it was Cursed Seal Level Two!
'Hmm, wait, Curse Mark Level Two?'
Sora looked incredulously at Orochimaru nearby.
"Uh..." Orochimaru guiltily turned his head away.
Regarding preparing Madara's body, he had indeed done a tiny bit of work.
How tiny?
Just Jugo plus White Zetsu plus Madara's own body, plus a tiny bit of Tailed Beast's flesh... that's all!
