# Chapter 96: Fangs and Wood Release (Fourth Update)
"Truly terrifying concealment ability."
A low, hoarse voice came from Black Zetsu, who had now attached himself to Obito.
"Not good!"
Minato Namikaze immediately tried to attack Obito, but it was too late.
Puchi.
One Sharingan and one Rinnegan flew out, and large swaths of black tendrils spread outward. Everything the tendrils touched began to disintegrate, or rather, be mentally assimilated. Naruto and Minato Namikaze immediately retreated.
After the two eyes flew several meters, they suddenly vanished into thin air, which slightly surprised Minato Namikaze, who had been sensing the surrounding movements.
Where did this black mass come from, and where did Obito's Sharingan and Rinnegan go? Both Naruto and Minato Namikaze were baffled, and the ninjas rushing over were also stunned.
But compared to what was about to happen, these things seemed unimportant.
A few seconds later, the black substance on Obito's head spread to both sides to prevent him from suffocating.
"Huff, huff..."
While Obito gasped for air, his eyes were full of disbelief, and even a hint of surprise?
"I revived... Uchiha Madara."
Obito's shocking words made Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi, who were rushing over, stop in their tracks.
"What did you just say?"
Tobirama Senju rushed forward, and Black Zetsu, still attached to Obito, immediately submerged into the ground. Continuing to cling to Obito was clearly not the right choice, as the people present were very likely to kill him.
Black Zetsu left Obito behind to die. As soon as he disappeared, Tobirama Senju, who had rushed forward, directly grabbed Obito by the throat.
"Who did you say was revived?!"
Tobirama Senju roared, his gaze as if he wanted to devour Obito alive.
"So... this was his goal all along."
Now, Obito fully understood what was happening. Madara hadn't sent him to carry out the Moon's Eye Plan; he had sent him to use the Rinnegan to revive him.
"You bastard."
Tobirama Senju's hands were trembling, a stark contrast to his previously calm demeanor. There was only one reason: Uchiha Madara had been revived.
The name Uchiha Madara was a lifelong shadow for Tobirama Senju, filled with too many unbearable memories. To prevent the emergence of a second Uchiha Madara, he had even considered completely eradicating the Uchiha clan.
"Another person was revived too."
Obito's voice was weaker as his throat was being squeezed.
"Who."
Tobirama Senju practically ground out the word through his teeth.
"Hashirama Senju."
Obito smiled, a somewhat relieved smile, because in his view, being able to revive Hashirama Senju was likely the result of his struggle against Black Zetsu's will.
"Big brother... revived?"
Tobirama Senju was momentarily stunned.
"Ah, this is my final atonement."
"..."
Tobirama Senju released his grip on Obito's throat, his eyes narrowing as he sensed something ominous about this situation.
Over ten meters away, Bubu Wang, crouching behind a rock, yawned. His little expression seemed to say, "Obito, you're overthinking it. This was our long-planned scheme."
Bubu Wang began to quietly retreat, but the assembled Kage still couldn't detect him.
...
Five kilometers from the battlefield.
Smoke rose, and gray debris flew.
Thump, thump, thump...
Madara stood with his eyes closed, faint smoke rising from his body. He pressed his hand to his chest, feeling the beating heart and the air filling his lungs, experiencing what it meant to be alive.
"As expected, this body is worthy."
Madara's tone carried a hint of amusement. After a long-planned scheme succeeded, even Madara couldn't help but feel joy.
"Blood flowing through the body... only then can one experience the feeling of battle."
As Madara spoke, his Rinnegan began to shatter, turning into gray debris. The Rinnegan could revive a person, but it couldn't create another pair of Rinnegan.
Sensing this, Madara immediately closed his eyes. Hashirama was still nearby, and he too had been revived.
"I was... revived?"
Hashirama clearly didn't understand the situation. He guessed that perhaps his own side had revived him? As for the purpose, Hashirama had no idea.
"Madara, what's going on? That guy... was also revived."
Su Xiao, who was not far from Madara, spoke up. He was staring at Hashirama Senju, his expression somewhat 'surprised.'
"Hmm?"
Madara's 'expression changed drastically,' very 'vigilantly,' and also... slightly exaggerated~. He wasn't yet fully accustomed to his new body.
"That thing has succeeded. Go to the main battlefield to retrieve your eyes. We're pulling out."
The 'thing' Su Xiao mentioned clearly made Hashirama sense a conspiracy.
"Excellent. You take that thing and withdraw first. Our goal has been achieved. We'll meet at the predetermined location."
"Mm."
Su Xiao and Madara retreated in two different directions. Hashirama slammed his hand on the ground.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Crack, crack, crack.
Large trees rapidly grew from the soil, targeting Uchiha Madara directly. Hashirama Senju had sensed something wrong in their exchange.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation."
Madara's hand seals were so fast they left afterimages. Flames spewed from his mouth in a fan shape, covering a vast area.
Crackle, crackle, crackle...
Sparks surged wildly, and the trees were consumed by the raging fire. Madara was forced to stop in his tracks.
"It failed. Your plan wasn't very good."
Madara was very dissatisfied.
"As expected. Also, your acting was terrible."
Su Xiao pulled out a strand of bloodstained golden hair. He tossed the strand toward Hashirama Senju. Hashirama Senju was about to knock it away, but the blood on the golden hair gave him a familiar feeling—it was the life force of the Senju clan.
"I originally wanted to send you an arm, but to make your will to fight stronger, I only cut off a strand of her hair. Stay here. Kill me or be killed by me. Otherwise, every half hour, that woman will lose a part."
Su Xiao drew the longsword at his waist. At the same time, a test tube shattered upon hitting the ground.
Hashirama held the strand of golden hair in his hand, vaguely guessing whose hair it was.
"Tsuna..."
The 'Tsuna' Hashirama mentioned was a nickname for Tsunade.
"Correct. As long as you have the ability to kill me, you can find her."
Su Xiao casually tossed out a few photos. They showed an unconscious Tsunade. From the looks of it, she was just unconscious or sedated.
By now, Madara was heading toward the main battlefield. Hashirama didn't pursue him because, just two seconds ago, his body had become very abnormal.
"Of course, for you right now, killing me will be very difficult."
Su Xiao certainly wouldn't be foolishly confident enough to fight a full-strength Hashirama. Whether the current Hashirama could even use Wood Release was uncertain.
Su Xiao had studied Hashirama's cells for a long time. With good timing, he naturally had a way to greatly weaken Hashirama Senju's strength. Of course, this weakening wouldn't affect the kill reward, as this was also one of Su Xiao's abilities.
Su Xiao carefully observed Hashirama Senju. The reason he had been talking so long was to confirm whether the [PSX-17 Alchemical Experimental Agent] had taken effect.
Now it seemed the agent had worked. He had tested it on Tsunade once before, and the effect was perfect. Of course, considering the strength gap between Tsunade and Hashirama, the [PSX-17 Alchemical Experimental Agent] would have a weaker effect on Hashirama, but it wouldn't render him completely combat-ineffective.
Earlier, when Su Xiao was planning to hunt super-Kage-level enemies, he had thought: what if the enemy was too strong? He couldn't defeat super-Kage-level opponents—that was an indisputable fact.
Since he couldn't strengthen himself in a short time, he would weaken the enemy. Among super-Kage-level enemies, the only one Su Xiao could potentially weaken was Hashirama Senju.
As for how to make Madara believe he had such an ability, that was simple. Madara also had Hashirama's cells in his body. One test would confirm it. This was also the main reason Madara agreed to the plan.
Madara wasn't stupid, just arrogant. Therefore, he also knew this was a great opportunity to eliminate Hashirama Senju, so he cooperated fully, ultimately luring Hashirama away from the battlefield.
Hashirama stood in silence. He already sensed something was wrong, because Su Xiao just standing there gave Hashirama the vibe of a full-fledged villainous big boss.
"You're not the strongest, but you're dangerous enough—perhaps even more dangerous than Madara."
Hashirama clasped his hands together, his eyes wide open. Looking closely, one could see his hands trembling, as if using this jutsu was very difficult for him.
'Trees' grew from the soil beneath Hashirama's feet. These trees averaged about two centimeters in height, looking more like a patch of bean sprouts. The Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence had turned into Grass Release: Bean Sprout Germination.
