On the other side.
Two creatures, one black and one white, emerged from underground.
One of the creatures was Awai, the White Zetsu, who seemed a bit concerned: "Do we really not need to rescue the young man?"
"We're powerless to do so."
Black Zetsu slowly shook its head, speaking in a hoarse voice: "The Chibaku Tensei seal is said to be unbreakable, but Akihara Kagura, that little guy, also possesses the Rinnegan. Perhaps he has a means to break the Chibaku Tensei..."
"Awai..."
Black Zetsu looked at Awai, the White Zetsu: "You've been following Akihara Kagura all along. Haven't you noticed anything odd about him? Have you ever seen Akihara Kagura tampering with bark or wooden tags?"
"Can't remember..."
Awai, the White Zetsu, furrowed its brows and started pondering: "Let me think properly. I feel like I've seen it somewhere at some point..."
This matter...
It hasn't come to any conclusion...
Because Akihara Kagura hasn't discussed it with it yet.
While a group of people here was contemplating whether Akihara Kagura could break the Chibaku Tensei, the situation on the battlefield had already changed.
In the next moment!
A crack suddenly appeared in the stone sphere in the sky!
A beam of white light sharply shot out from the stone sphere, its glow intensely illuminating the heavens!
In the next second.
The surface of the stone sphere was immediately crowded with cracks!
Countless beams of white light shot out from the cracks in the sphere's surface, and the seal of Chibaku Tensei began to disintegrate in an instant, with countless stones dissipating within the white light!
"So fast..."
Uchiha Madara glanced at the disappearing stone sphere in the sky, as well as the man slowly descending from the sky: "Has he already broken free from the Chibaku Tensei seal?"
"For a Rinnegan user, that's only natural, isn't it?"
Akihara Kagura slowly descended from the sky, the scene appearing exceptionally graceful, completely masking any sign of having just been pulled into confinement.
Of course.
Akihara Kagura's Susanoo-clad wooden man had already disappeared.
Because the real battle was about to begin, and no matter how powerful the Susanoo-clad wooden man was, it was merely a toy for Chibaku Tensei if not careful enough.
"Limbo!"
Uchiha Madara directly unleashed his four shadows, looking up at Akihara Kagura, who was leisurely descending, as his fighting spirit surged again, his body suddenly crouched into a combat stance, and a bloody smile crept up his lips!
"The upcoming battle will be the final bloody showdown, where both sides will use all their abilities until one of us falls here..."
"I see, I understand..."
Akihara Kagura remained floating in mid-air. He clapped his hands and cast a Wind Release to seemingly disperse the tense atmosphere: "It seems a bit stuffy; let the battlefield cool down a bit..."
A gust of wind kicked up.
A dark cloud, blown by the Wind Release, slowly drifted over.
The sunlight shone on that dark cloud, casting shadows over the battlefield.
The cloud blocked the sun, and the shadow on the ground enveloped Uchiha Madara and everything around him.
After completing all this, Akihara Kagura slowly descended to the ground, his eyes having already turned into Rinnegan, allowing him to see all of Uchiha Madara's Limbo Shadows.
Evidently...
These Limbo clone shadows...
Will be a powerful aid to Uchiha Madara's combat!
Even though the Rinnegan can see through these Limbo clone shadows, it cannot stop them from participating in the battle, and these Limbo shadows can practically utilize all of Uchiha Madara's combat prowess!
"Well then..."
Akihara Kagura glanced at the shadows on the ground, slowly clasping his palms together before looking in Uchiha Madara's direction: "Before the battle begins, I have one final question: Are you really not planning on making an escape?"
