This was precisely why Madara Uchiha remained so calm. In his eyes, Uchiha Isamu had no possibility of awakening the Rinnegan.
After all, in this era, very few people even knew of its existence. To most, it was nothing more than a legend. Without seeing it firsthand, no sane person would believe it was real.
What Madara didn't know, however, was this—
Even without the Rinnegan, Isamu was already beyond what he could handle in his current state.
The Sage Body alone was enough to rival a primary-form Rinnegan. Just like Naruto Uzumaki—who never possessed the Rinnegan—yet still fought alongside Sasuke Uchiha to seal Kaguya Ōtsutsuki… and even battled Sasuke to a standstill afterward.
That was the true power of a perfected Sage Body.
"White Zetsu, keep watching the battlefield. I want constant updates on Isamu."
"Yes, Lord Madara."
---
The battlefield was shrouded in thick smoke.
Corpses littered the ground—countless shinobi lying motionless, their faces frozen in fear, despair, and resentment. What should have been peaceful land had become a hellscape of screams, explosions, and endless slaughter.
Seventy towering Susanoo continued to carve through the Shinobi Allied Forces without mercy.
"You useless fools… you Five Kage still haven't dealt with a few clones? I really don't know how you earned that title."
Isamu's patience was gone.
In an instant, he used Kamui to appear among the Five Kage, catching them off guard and blasting them away again.
Walking toward them, he laughed coldly.
"Take a good look. While you were busy fighting my clones, your subordinates have been slaughtered."
Hearing this, the Five Kage turned their heads—
And froze.
In the distance, Susanoo and Tailed Beasts were massacring their forces.
"Damn it… when did so many appear?!"
"We were too focused on the clones…"
Their expressions twisted with anger and helplessness.
Isamu didn't hold back.
"And you call yourselves Kage? You can't even handle clones. It's pathetic."
Their fists clenched. Killing intent surged.
But Isamu simply waved it off.
"I'll give you one more chance."
"Go back. Rest. We fight again tomorrow."
"If it's the same result… I'll personally destroy the Five Great Nations."
He turned to leave.
---
"Stop right there!"
Ōnoki stepped forward, sneering.
"You're running out of Chakra, aren't you? That's why you're letting us go."
The other Kage hesitated… then slowly nodded.
It made sense.
Maintaining this level of power couldn't be free.
Isamu stopped. Turned back.
Then shook his head with a faint laugh.
"Are all Kage this ignorant now?"
"I used half my strength today."
"If you don't believe me… try again."
"Hmph. Bluffing." Ōnoki raised his hands.
"Dust Release—"
Before he could finish—
"Wood Release: Wood Binding."
Roots erupted instantly, binding all Five Kage at once.
"Still want to test me?"
"Then learn something first."
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique."
The earth trembled as a massive Wood Dragon burst forth, its tail sweeping across the battlefield—
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Five Kage were smashed away again, crashing into the ground and coughing blood.
"The power… it's on par with the First Hokage…" Hiruzen Sarutobi gasped.
Silence followed.
Then suspicion.
"Your Konoha—what's going on?" Hozuki Eiji snapped.
"Even you don't know this level of Wood Release?"
"All of you, stop looking at me!" Hiruzen snapped back.
"Even Tsunade doesn't possess it. How would I know?!"
While they argued—
Isamu walked past them.
Laughing.
"Even now, you're arguing? Your alliance really is a joke."
"A bunch of weaklings gathered together are still just weaklings."
He didn't look back.
---
Reaching a massive rock, Isamu raised two fingers.
"Release."
Instantly—
All one hundred Susanoo vanished.
The Tailed Beasts disappeared.
The chakra cloaks faded from the Uchiha.
Even the Wood Dragon sank back into the earth.
The battlefield fell silent.
For a moment, the Allied Forces thought—
They had won.
But then—
The Five Kage appeared. Injured. Bleeding. Still standing.
A stepped forward and roared:
"All shinobi—retreat twenty kilometers! We regroup and fight again tomorrow!"
No one argued.
They had just seen reality.
And it wasn't in their favor.
