Orochimaru developed a method to break the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, freeing the souls of the four Hokage who had been imprisoned by the Shinigami.

Back then, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato, used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to split the Nine-Tails’ chakra into Yin and Yang halves, sealing the Yin half together with himself inside the Shinigami.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen, in order to deal with the First and Second Hokage who had been summoned through Edo Tensei by Orochimaru, used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal the two of them.

Thus, the souls of the Hokage throughout the generations were all inside the Shinigami.

This was a blessing in disguise. Otherwise, Yakushi Kabuto would have summoned the Hokage of the past long ago.

After releasing the souls of the Hokage, Orochimaru used White Zetsu as sacrifices and activated Edo Tensei to summon the First through Fourth Hokage.

The Hokage summoned this time retained their own consciousness, and their strength was close to what it had been in life.

After understanding the situation, they rushed to the battlefield to support the Allied Shinobi Forces.

"Madara!"

"Hashirama!"

Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama began their duel after being revived through Edo Tensei.

Susanoo vs Wood Release: Wood Golem.

The battle between the two was extremely intense. Upon witnessing it, the Allied Shinobi Forces present even began to feel despair.

They simply couldn’t help at all...

The battles of the predecessors were too terrifying!

With their strength, could they really stop Uchiha Madara and end the Fourth Great Ninja War?

But under the encouragement of Nara Shikamasu, the Allied Shinobi Forces regained their morale.

"That guy Hashirama really knows how to cause trouble."

Uchiha Madara watched the battle between the two with displeasure, while Renya and Danzo were watching with great interest.

The battle in the Kamui space ended.

Uchiha Obito came out of the space, his chest pierced by Raikiri, on the verge of death.

Uchiha Madara looked at Obito lying on the ground, barely breathing, and calmly said:

"That guy is already useless."

"I still wanted to compete with Hashirama before becoming a Jinchūriki, but it seems I have no choice."

As he spoke, he used the Rinnegan to make black rods grow inside Obito’s body. The "embodiment of will," Black Zetsu, seized the opportunity to possess Obito.

It intended to force him to use Rinne Rebirth to revive Madara.

Uchiha Madara, who had been watching the battle the whole time, stood up excitedly and stared straight at Uchiha Obito in the distance.

"Rinne Rebirth!"

The version of himself in this spacetime was about to be revived.

Wait, that hand seal seems wrong!

Uchiha Madara seemed to notice something, his brows slightly furrowing.

"That’s not the hand seal for Rinne Rebirth..."

The Uchiha Madara of this spacetime didn’t seem to notice the problem and softly recounted the reason he had saved Obito back then.

"The reason I saved you was so you could revive me. The time has come for you to repay me."

Hearing this, everyone present immediately moved to stop him. Uchiha Madara absolutely could not be allowed to revive!

At this critical moment, Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear in front of Obito and ended his life with a single kunai.

"It failed."

Seeing this, Uchiha Madara showed no expression and only said calmly:

"But it doesn’t matter."

Just now, he had used chakra to control Obito, so he naturally noticed the small tricks the other party was playing.

But he had no intention of stopping it.

...

"The Ten-Tails Jinchūriki has finally appeared!" Renya said excitedly.

A Ten-Tails Jinchūriki had already stepped into the ranks of Six Paths-level powerhouses. Ordinary Kage-level fighters were simply no match for him.

Uchiha Madara looked at Renya’s excited expression, his brows furrowing even tighter.

This brat is so excited... Could it be that he memorized Obito’s hand seal sequence just now and plans to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki before me?!

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Based on his understanding of Renya, this brat might actually do something like that.

No, he absolutely cannot be allowed to do that!

In fact, after sensing Obito’s immense power, Renya really did have the thought of trying to become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki himself.

He had memorized the hand seals.

If the Three-Tails and Nine-Tails hadn’t already left, he might really have tried experiencing what it felt like to become a Six Paths-level powerhouse. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, Uchiha Obito subconsciously looked toward the place where Renya and the other two were located.

If he hadn’t looked, it would’ve been fine. But once he did, he was completely dumbfounded.

Why is there another Uchiha Madara over there?!

And the long-haired man standing beside Madara... even the current me, who has become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, feels threatened by him!

How is that possible?!

Because Uchiha Obito stared at their location for a long time, everyone who had been paying close attention to his every move subconsciously followed his gaze.

"Madara-sama, we’ve been exposed."

Renya said helplessly. They had clearly hidden themselves very well, yet they still couldn’t escape the perception of Six Paths Obito.

Now it was great—they had been seen by everyone.

"Huh? Why do I see two Uchiha Madaras?!" Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head in confusion.

Uchiha Sasuke said nothing, his eyes fixed directly on Renya.

That guy is actually an Uchiha!

Being able to stand beside Uchiha Madara meant his strength definitely wasn’t to be underestimated.

They were already troubled enough dealing with Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara, and now another unknown Uchiha clansman had appeared.

It seemed trouble was inevitable.

"Hmm?" The Uchiha Madara of this spacetime noticed the three of them, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What is going on? Why is there another me?!

"Madara, why are there two of you?!" Senju Hashirama asked his old friend in confusion.

Uchiha Madara didn’t respond, because he didn’t know the reason either.

But his intuition told him that the other one was indeed himself!

Because of the appearance of Renya and the other two, everyone’s attention shifted from Six Paths Obito to them.

"Chef?!"

Tsunade and the Raikage, who had previously been seriously injured and rescued by Orochimaru before returning to the battlefield, spoke in unison.

Who else could the two people beside Uchiha Madara be but Renya and Tonton?

"Hokage, I already said the chef’s disappearance had nothing to do with me!" the Fourth Raikage said dissatisfiedly.

Because of Renya’s sudden disappearance, Tsunade had been convinced that the Raikage was somehow involved, and no matter how he explained, it was useless.

The two had almost started fighting in the command headquarters.

"So it was Uchiha Madara’s doing all along!" Tsunade said angrily.

If she weren’t no match for Madara, she would have rushed up long ago to snatch the chef back.

"Chef?"

Hearing the two of them, everyone looked at Renya in surprise.

Could it be that they guessed wrong? Those two weren’t helpers Madara brought, but chefs he brought to cook?

"They are ninjas from our Konoha village. Earlier, because the food they made was so delicious, Hokage-sama specially recruited them into the logistics department."

The Konoha ninjas present explained to the people around them.

Renya and Danzo: "..."

If they had known this would happen, they shouldn’t have mixed into Konoha’s team earlier.

Now look—they were being treated as chefs.

The corner of Uchiha Madara’s mouth twitched as he glanced at the two of them irritably.

Under the shocked, confused, and puzzled gazes of everyone—and at Madara-sama’s signal—Renya reluctantly stood up.

"You all continue fighting. Don’t worry about us."

Everyone: "..."

Uchiha Obito withdrew his gaze, and the pressure he released made everyone come back to their senses.

Now was not the time to care about two Uchiha Madaras and two chefs.

The most urgent matter was defeating Uchiha Obito, who had become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki!
