The time stop effect of the sealing barrier could not restrain a master like Uchiha Madara for very long.
After a few seconds of frozen thought, Uchiha Madara regained clarity.
His body also broke free from the seal and could move freely again.
It was just that at this moment, his body was embedded in the wall, with a large amount of paper wrapping around him.
He could feel the sealing power within it.
But this kind of sealing technique did not amount to much for him.
The Rinnegan trembled slightly. A burst of repulsive force exploded outward, instantly blasting away all the paper wrapped around his body.
As his body fell back to the ground, he looked around in some surprise at the space that seemed to be completely frozen.
Aside from him, the other Edo Tensei ninja were also being sealed.
He paid them no attention. These Edo Tensei ninja were already of little use to him.
He glanced at Konan, who stood on high alert, and at the Black Zetsu-controlled Nagato lying beside her, still frozen with his hands clasped together, completely unmoving.
He also understood that if this space was not broken, the plans that followed would probably be impossible to carry out.
His gaze shifted to Konan, whose eyes still had traces of dried blood at the corners. Although her eyes had already recovered, Uchiha Madara understood exactly what had happened.
"A transcription seal, huh? That's somewhat interesting."
When it came to transcription seals, he could be said to be extremely familiar with them.
Back then, it was precisely by relying on a transcription seal to store Izanagi in his eye that he had faked his death and fooled Senju Hashirama.
Uchiha Madara raised his hand toward Konan, but this time, before he could make a move, a figure had already appeared in front of Konan.
Aoba held the unconscious Uchiha Hikaru at the waist with one hand, looking somewhat surprised at the person in front of him.
"So that's why Black Zetsu dared to make a move on Nagato. Turns out you were brought back with Edo Tensei, Uchiha Madara."
What really surprised Aoba was that without Orochimaru, and without Yakushi Kabuto, Black Zetsu had still managed to find someone to research Edo Tensei.
As expected of the mastermind behind the ninja world, his connections really were extensive.
"Konan-nee, are you hurt?"
After the initial surprise, he immediately asked about Konan's condition.
"No, it's just that Nagato he…"
Konan shook her head. Those people's attacks had not yet landed on her when the ability left on him by the other party activated directly.
"Controlled by Black Zetsu, huh?"
Aoba glanced at Nagato's current state, "It's fine. I can handle it."
"Aoba?"
Uchiha Madara looked at the suddenly appearing Aoba, and at Uchiha Hikaru being carried in his hand. His expression also showed surprise, "I didn't expect you to defeat her so quickly."
He acknowledged Uchiha Hikaru's strength. Although she did not compare to him at his peak, she was at least several tiers stronger than the Five Kage of that time. He had not expected her to lose in such a short span of time.
"It still took some effort."
Aoba looked back at Uchiha Madara, a completely unconcerned, teasing smile appearing on his face.
"But you, Uchiha Madara. Facing me at my peak, you're not planning to run away, but instead want to take the initiative to attack?"
"Brat!"
Uchiha Madara was genuinely angered by Aoba's arrogant words.
He, Uchiha Madara, had fought countless battles throughout his life. Aside from faking his death in front of that guy Senju Hashirama, when had he ever actively chosen to flee?
"Bansho Ten'in!"
He wasted no words. Gravitational force erupted from his palm, and Nagato, who had been lying motionless on the ground, was immediately pulled toward him.
"Bansho Ten'in!"
Light flowed through Aoba's deep blue eyes.
The same ability, but with an even greater gravitational force, erupted. Nagato's body was flung backward once again, returning to his hand.
Nagato: "..."
"Those eyes of yours."
Uchiha Madara had not expected there to be such eyes.
'Abilities identical to the Rinnegan?'
Aoba ignored his shock. Green chakra instantly wrapped around his entire body.
This was the chakra of Tenseigan Chakra Mode, possessing the power of both Yin Release and Yang Release.
He directly tore Black Zetsu off Nagato's body, then immediately created a massive cage out of thin air and locked Black Zetsu inside.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Uchiha Madara did not even have time to react.
"Uchiha Madara, sleep here forever, along with your utterly meaningless Eye of the Moon Plan," As he spoke, several Truth-Seeking Orbs covered in green chakra appeared beside Aoba.
Attacking with Truth-Seeking Orbs would prevent Edo Tensei bodies from regenerating.
Yet Uchiha Madara paid no attention at all to the Truth-Seeking Orbs surrounding him. Although he had laid plans for decades, wholeheartedly seeking revival to restart his plan, he had never feared death.
It was just that…
"Brat, you understand nothing. What's so bad about a world of genjutsu?"
"The real world is so cruel. War, hatred, pain. Every few years they continue, repeating in an endless cycle."
"The genjutsu world is the most perfect world. There will be no more war, no more hatred. Everyone can obtain everything they desire!"
Uchiha Madara questioned him like this.
To him, the Eye of the Moon was the cause he had struggled for in the latter half of his life.
It was also the plan that best proved he was smarter than that fool Senju Hashirama.
And now, a junior dared to spout such nonsense right in front of him.
"Is that so? Then why do you still want to live in reality?"
Aoba shot back, "Since, in your eyes, the genjutsu world is the most perfect world, then just enter that world yourself. In the end, you're nothing more than a self-righteous guy."
"What do you mean?", Uchiha Madara frowned.
Aoba controlled the Truth-Seeking Orbs, letting them circle around himself, Konan, and Nagato, "I'm just saying you don't need to make yourself sound so lofty."
"If you like the genjutsu world, if you like living in an illusory dream, then go by yourself. Why do you have to drag the entire ninja world down with you?"
"That's because most people in this world are ignorant. Their vision is shallow. They don't understand the beauty of the genjutsu world."
Uchiha Madara retorted, "When they enter those endless beautiful dreams and experience the splendor of the genjutsu world, they will naturally be grateful to me."
"Aren't you just forcing happiness on them? You think they'll thank you for turning them into vegetative patients who can only dream?"
Aoba held back a laugh, "You're clearly doing something selfish and world-destroying, yet you think you're selflessly carrying the whole world on your shoulders."
"Uchiha Madara, where did a chunibyou kid like you even come from?"
"..."
If not for his Edo Tensei body, Uchiha Madara would have absolutely been so angry that veins popped out.
"And what about you? Brat, you usurped power to become a daimyo and want to unify the ninja world. Aren't you also dragging the people of this world onto the battlefield?"
In a debate, rather than proving the correctness of one's own viewpoint, it was better to attack the flaws in the other's.
"So I've never thought of myself as anything lofty, nor do I think I'm absolutely right."
"It's just you, who, without knowing the truth, has always believed the genjutsu world is the future of the ninja world, convinced you're doing something good, thinking everyone else is drunk while you alone are sober."
"It really is laughable."
"..."
Uchiha Madara fell silent.
He silently glanced once at Black Zetsu, trapped inside the cage and unable to move.
He really was not good with words. He found himself missing his mouthpiece.
"Why did you suddenly stop talking? Don't like it?"
Seeing Uchiha Madara remain silent, Aoba asked curiously.
"Damn brat, do you think the likes of me would be swayed by a few words from you?"
"If we're going to fight, then fight!"
Uchiha Madara flew into a rage, spreading his arms wide.
Right from the start, it was Super Shinra Tensei.
