Madara led the way.
Danzō walked beside Hiruzen and Orochimaru.
At the very back—
A lone toad shuffled quietly.
Minato.
"Be careful," Danzō muttered.
"Madara might be plotting something."
Hiruzen and Orochimaru already felt it.
They had just joined him—
And he was already showing them 100,000 White Zetsu?
Suspicious.
Minato, however, remained calm.
He didn't care about conspiracies.
He only needed confirmation.
Once he saw the White Zetsu army—
He would act.
The White Zetsu Army
They passed through a stone gate.
And stopped.
Before them—
An enormous underground chamber.
Endless white figures suspended like cocoons.
Thousands.
Tens of thousands.
Hiruzen gasped.
"So many…"
Orochimaru's eyes gleamed.
"So this is what you've been building in secret."
Danzō clenched his jaw.
"…So that's why you made me dig."
Madara spread his arms dramatically.
"This is the power I leave behind."
"When I die, this army will be yours."
The trio exchanged glances.
Too generous.
"What's the condition?" Danzō asked coldly.
Madara sat.
"It's time you heard my ultimate plan."
Madara's "Truth"
"The world can be reshaped."
He spoke of collecting the Nine Tailed Beasts.
Sealing them into the Gedo Statue.
Reviving a so-called "God of Order."
Summoning a wish-granting divine tree.
Hiruzen frowned.
"I've never heard of such a thing."
Orochimaru tilted his head.
"Sounds like mythology."
Madara sneered.
"You lack the level to understand."
He opened another stone gate.
Inside stood the massive husk—
The Demonic Statue.
The incomplete vessel.
Even Minato felt the oppressive aura.
"Interesting…" Orochimaru muttered.
But skepticism lingered.
They questioned him.
Madara claimed the secret came from the ancient Uchiha stone tablet—
Readable only with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Eventually—
Danzō's trio agreed.
They accepted the scrolls.
Accepted the White Zetsu army.
Accepted the plan.
The Critical Question
"How do we control the White Zetsu?" Orochimaru asked.
Silence.
Then—
"I know."
The toad spoke.
Everyone froze.
"That voice…"
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.
"…Minato?"
Danzō and Orochimaru stared.
Madara's face changed instantly.
"Minato Namikaze?!"
The toad nodded.
"Correct."
Hands formed seals instantly.
Madara roared:
"Stop him!"
His voice cracked—
Nearly tearing his throat.
Too late.
Reverse Summoning
A summoning seal erupted beneath Minato.
Chakra surged.
Far away in Konoha—
Drake felt it.
He smiled.
"Finally."
Instant Arrival
The air twisted.
Space fractured.
Drake appeared inside the underground chamber.
He glanced around once.
White Zetsu army.
Danzō.
Hiruzen.
Orochimaru.
Madara.
All present.
"…Perfect."
Madara's eyes widened.
"How did you—"
Drake's speed blurred.
In less than a blink—
He stood before Madara.
A single punch.
BOOM.
The shockwave tore through the cavern.
White Zetsu pods shattered by the thousands.
Danzō, Orochimaru, and Hiruzen were blown backward.
Dust filled the air.
Silence followed.
Madara coughed violently.
Blood staining his lips.
"…Impossible…"
Drake cracked his knuckles.
"You really thought I wouldn't notice?"
His Sage-level agility radiated terrifying pressure.
Minato reverted to toad posture beside him.
"Target confirmed."
Drake smiled faintly.
"The Losers' Alliance."
"Disbanded."
Madara tried to speak again—
But Drake's second step forward made him fall silent.
The countdown—
Was over.
