Hashirama and the other two were very certain that the black-robed figure was fake, but the One Punch Man World side didn't know this. After all, back in J-City, they witnessed with their own eyes the "battle" between that person against Saitama.
Although there was no direct physical collision with Saitama, it still shocked everyone. Moreover, at that time the Sacred Ruins Trial Tower had just ended, and Gin was taken away by him. Since no one in the three worlds knew the true identity of Rank One of the Golden List, this gave the black-robed figure room to act.
"Brother, should we find a way to tell them?" Asked Tobirama doubtfully.
Hashirama thought for a moment then shook his head. "Monitor the situation first. It doesn't matter if Rank Three is held back by that person temporarily. If their side is really pressed, that baldy definitely won't be able to hold back from moving, and that's when the black robe's fake identity will be exposed by itself."
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
Bang stood with hands behind his back, staring at Madara and said flatly: "Uchiha Madara, legendary ninja from the Naruto World, ranked in the Golden List's top ten. Your power is indeed very great. But you must realize, now you've become everyone's target. Experts from other worlds are on their way here, not just us. No matter how great you are, it's impossible for you to face us all alone. Hand over the Bijuu, and we'll leave immediately."
Bang tried to negotiate with Madara.
They weren't asking for much; getting just three Bijuu would be enough. If they could win without having to fight, that would certainly be best.
However, Madara instead narrowed his eyes and laughed softly: "Experts from other worlds will also come huh... Excellent!"
Everyone was stunned.
What does he mean?
Does he not feel afraid at all?
Although he's a Golden List top ten fighter, two hands find it hard to fight four hands. His followers were limited, and experts from other worlds weren't easy opponents.
Does he really feel he's the invincible Rank One in the world?
Madara laughed lowly: "If you all come together, that actually saves me effort. As long as I can pull you all into the Tsukuyomi world, the rest will become easier."
Madara had been hiding for so long to realize his Eye of the Moon plan. Although confident, he wasn't crazy enough to physically fight three worlds alone. However, as long as he could trap these people in the Tsukuyomi illusion world, then he would succeed.
The Uchiha clan's illusions were very powerful.
Actually, his Eye of the Moon plan currently could almost be said to have failed.
The Hachibi capture failed and the Shichibi escaped, which meant the Juubi couldn't fully revive. He couldn't open the Eye of the Moon or activate Infinite Tsukuyomi.
However, that didn't stop his resolve. In his heart, there was a greater ambition. Now the Bijuu had been inherited with new cultivation methods from Rank One of the Golden List. If he could revive the Juubi, become its Jinchuriki, then obtain that power method, then only a few people in this world could threaten him. The Eye of the Moon plan could also proceed smoothly.
The Hachibi Jinchuriki was most likely also on the way here; this time, he would capture it himself.
"Tsukuyomi world?"
Everyone was a bit confused. But in the distance, Hashirama's face changed slightly.
Tsukuyomi? He stared sharply from afar at Madara's eyes which had changed. He felt terrifying power within them, and his heart sank a bit.
"Since you don't want to hand it over, then we're forced to take it ourselves!" Bang snorted coldly and attacked first.
His upper body swelled powerfully, his clothes tore instantly revealing solid muscles that contrasted with his silver hair. His legs stomped the ground hard, his body shot like a rocket, in an instant charging into the air like an eagle, throwing a punch toward Madara. Sharp energy at his fist tip formed a transparent arc; the punch's power created a sound of air bursting.
"Bang!" The others' brows furrowed.
Bang was too rash. Although no one had seen Madara's full power yet, attacking alone directly was still risky.
Madara only formed a seal with one hand, pursed his lips, and blew forward.
*BOOM!*
A sea of fire that seemed to want to devour heaven and earth directly swallowed Bang completely.
Very terrifying fire!
Bang who was in the air had no foothold to dodge. His pupils contracted, but he didn't panic. On his right arm, a silver wolf tattoo suddenly glowed brightly and jumped out, transforming into a giant silver wolf in the air that howled long, sucking all that fire into itself.
The fire filling the sky vanished instantly. Bang brought unstoppable momentum, slamming his fist toward Madara's head.
"Only this much?"
Seeing the appearance of that giant wolf, Madara's eyes sparkled. He felt a different aura. A Golden List reward?
"Shinra Tensei—!"
Madara stood upright unmoving, while another shadow flickered in front of him, spreading a transparent shield that directly repelled Bang until he was flung far away.
Deva Pain!
Although Nagato was already dead, his eyes had been taken by Madara, so control over the Six Paths of Pain was now in his hands. Those eyes originally belonged to Madara anyway, so he used them very skillfully.
The Six Paths of Pain flickered around Madara to protect him.
Bang was repelled in just one clash, that great force reversed attacking himself. Although he was a hero who tempered his physique, his body couldn't withstand the burden of that rebound. He vomited fresh blood in the air, and that giant silver wolf faded back into his arm.
Tatsumaki furrowed her brows, she activated her telekinetic power, pulling Bang's body back to their side.
Seeing Bang injured, the others couldn't stay still anymore. They were already ready to fight.
Metal Bat, Child Emperor, Metal Knight, Zombieman, Genos, and the others rushed forward attacking Madara. Meanwhile, Tatsumaki gave King an eye signal, and he too shot forward.
King looked confused.
(What did that wink mean just now?)
Not long after he was startled, he glanced toward where Tatsumaki indicated. That was the cave hole where Madara and the others came out. His heart beat rapidly, he understood Tatsumaki's meaning.
The meaning was to tell him to directly "steal" the enemy's base?
It was very clear that Madara didn't bring the Bijuu out with them. Most likely the place where the Bijuu were located was below this hole.
Tatsumaki wanted to hold back Madara so King could quietly enter below and secure the Bijuu?
The corners of King's lips twitched.
(This... you all rate me too highly, you know!)
