Chapter 574: Madara Uchiha Reappears
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Naruto and Jiraiya's expressions turn grim.
"Something is approaching!"
Both of them take a combat stance.
"Something powerful and sinister!" Jiraiya murmurs and glances in a direction.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
The next second,
Shoom
A figure crash lands on the battlefield. A giant cloud of dust and debris rises at the landing position.
"What's that?" Mei's eyes narrow.
A figure slowly walks out of the dust cloud and pats his clothes to wipe the dust.
"Looks like you are having fun here Obito!!"
"He's- who's he?"
Naruto warily stares at Madara's figure.
"That's a reanimation!" Jiraiya notices the several cracks and black pupils.
"Re-reanimation! I thought they dispelled it!" Mei glances at Madara.
"He's Madara Uchiha! Grr" Kurama grits his teeth and stares at Madara with hatred.
"He is Madara!" Shock appears on the faces of the three shinobis.
"It's just like you to have defied the Edo Tensei."
"More importantly, what's taking you so long?" Madara glances toward Naruto.
"I thought you would have captured the Nine-tails by now." Madara activates his Sharingan.
"You even launched the plan haphazardly before you even took the Eight and the Nine-tails? You are hasty, Obito."
'So, that's Madara Uchiha, my grandfather-in-law.' Mei recalls Izuna's words.
'Since we are standing on the opposite side, I can't hold back or I might lose my life. Besides, he is already dead. So, I am not disrespecting him.'
Jiraiya makes a series of hand signs and expels a huge fire dragon towards Madara.
"Sage Art: Exploding Great Fire Dragon Breath,"
"Here!"
Obito removes the chains from the Gunbai and tosses it towards Madara.
"I'll return that to you. It's yours to begin with!"
Madara grabs the Uchiha Gunbai and infuses his chakra in it.
A blue barrier appears in front of Madara and blocks the fire dragon.
"Explode!"
Jiraiya claps his palm and the fire dragon explodes in a dazzling burst of flames.
A pillar of fire shrouds Obito and Madara.
"Did we get him?" Naruto warily stares at the fire in the distance.
"Not even close!" Kurama shakes his head.
The fire slowly dies down to reveal a perfectly fine Madara and Obito.
Hmm
Madara glances towards Jiraiya.
"A Sage Art user! How rare!"
Madara remarks in amusement.
"It's the second Sage Art user I met after the resurrection in this war. Looks like the quality of shinobis has improved after my death."
Madara cracks his neck.
"They are still quite a talented bunch of shinobis in the enemy camp." Madara turns to Obito.
His body turns stiff and the flow of his chakra stops. Jiraiya stands paralyzed at a spot.
Whoosh
In the next instant, Madara flickers beside Jiraiya, ready to take his life.
"Not so fast!"
Naruto appears beside Madara with a Rasenshuriken in his hand.
"Eat this!"
He slams the Rasenshuriken into Madara's body.
BANG
The powerful burst of chakra sends Madara flying across the battlefield.
ARGH
Jiraiya also breaks free of the curse seal by riling up his chakra.
"Thank you, Naruto! I thought I was a goner now." Jiraiya wipes the cold sweat from his head.
"It's the same technique as that man from earlier!"
The pattern in Madara's eye changes again. He activates his Rinnegan and absorbs the Rasenshuriken.
"What intense energy?"
Smoke rises from Madara's body. His body regenerates rapidly.
"Those eyes!" Naruto and Jiraiya's eyes widen in shock.
"T-that's Rinnegan!" Both of them point at him with trembling fingers
The terror of the Rinnegan is still fresh in their mind.
"Madara also has the Rinnegan." Kushina explains the entire situation to Naruto and Jiraiya.
"So, Mom, you mean to say that Madara is the actual owner of Nagato's Rinnegan? And it was a part of his plan to use the Rinnegan to revive himself later." Naruto stares at Madara in shock.
Swish swish
Jiraiya makes a series of hand signs and slams his palm on the ground.
"Sage Art: Agonizing thorn of death,"
Several rock spikes erupt from the ground and pierce Madara's body.
Boom Boom
Suddenly, multiple explosions detonate within the rock stakes. Several mini-missiles fly out of Madara's arms and destroy the rock stakes.
Madara jumps out of the rock spikes. A blue chakra ribcage protects his body.
"Tch that's Susanoo." Jiraiya clicks his tongue.

Meanwhile, at the HQ
The expression of Shikaku and other shinobi changes at the appearance of Madara Uchiha.
"Madara Uchiha is back on the battlefield!"
They swiftly inform the several commanders, and vice-commanders, on the desert battlefield.
"What? That bastard fled all the way to the other battlefield to create trouble." A smash his fist on the table.
"His goal is to capture the Nine-tails from Naruto. With us here, it won't be easy for him to make a move on eight-tails. However, the nine-tails isn't as protected as the eight-tails. So, he has a chance." Onoki analyzes the situation.
"Also, the most troublesome thing is the resurrection of the ten-tails. We still have no idea, how strong the ten-tails actually is?" Rasa also presents his thoughts.
"In the records, the Ten-tails is the origin of all chakra in the shinobi world. Then, according to those tales, the ten-tails should be the strongest-tailed beast in existence."
"Wait, could it be!"
Suddenly, the expression of everyone in HQ and the desert battlefield camp changes.
"Madara wants to become the Jinchuriki of the ten-tails. This must be his intention from the start." Shikaku voices his speculation, which might be closest to the truth.
"In the legends, the legendary Sage of Six Paths was also the Jinchuriki of the Ten-tails. He used his god-like powers to shape the world. If Madara controls such a power, then the amount of destruction he can cause to the world is too immense to even calculate." Everyone's face turns pale.
"We have to stop him!" Onoki swiftly rises from his seat.
"Let's head to the battlefield to fight Madara."
