Seeing White Zetsu leave, Isamu turned his head, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"So Madara knows I'm planning to take on the Four Great Shinobi Villages and decided to give me a 'kind reminder,' huh? Heh… interesting. Too bad—I'm not the same person I used to be."
"Since you still seem to care a little about me, I'll spare you a greeting tonight. Now that you've shown up, you might as well rest. Tomorrow's going to be busy."
With that, Isamu lay down, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.

On the other side, after hearing the message delivered by White Zetsu, Uchiha Madara didn't get angry. Instead, he asked again:
"Zetsu, did he really say that? You didn't miss anything?"
"Lord Madara, I'm absolutely sure. You've already asked me several times," Zetsu replied, clearly annoyed.
Madara narrowed his eyes.
"How does he know I'm still alive… and hiding? Was my fake death exposed… or is there another reason?"
He fell into deep thought.
"Ever since the battle at the Valley of the End, I've been gravely injured by Hashirama Senju. My body has been deteriorating ever since. Without the Chakra supply from the Gedo Statue, I wouldn't even be able to stand."
Madara looked at the statue, his Rinnegan filled with loneliness.
"For so many years… I've been alone. Only recently, watching my son grow stronger and build a life… did I feel even a trace of warmth."
"My bloodline… will continue."
---
"Lord Madara, now that he knows you're alive, will it affect our plan? Should we…" Zetsu made a slicing gesture across his throat.
"Hmph! You dare?!"
Madara instantly hurled a black rod, piercing Zetsu's leg.
"I've already lost my brother… and the trust of my clan. Are you trying to make me lose my son too? End my lineage entirely?!"
"N-No, Lord Madara! I was only worried he might interfere with your plan!"
"My plan," Madara said coldly, "is to awaken the Rinnegan and cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi. To bring the entire world under one illusion… and create eternal peace."
"If I lose my son and descendants… what would be left for me in that future?"
Zetsu lowered his head, not daring to speak again.
"Don't concern yourself with such things," Madara continued. "Even if they oppose me, I have ways to deal with it."
"Just remember this—never suggest killing him again."
With that, Madara sat back down and closed his eyes.

The Next Morning
At dawn, everyone finished breakfast and lined up neatly in the camp.
Isamu stood at the front.
"Today, we declare war on the great nations. We show them our strength. Tell me—are you afraid?"
"Not afraid!"
"Good. Keep that spirit."
"Next, I'll transfer all of you into another dimension. When we arrive, I'll release you."
Activating his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Isamu used Kamui to pull everyone into the Kamui dimension.
---
Inside, darkness stretched endlessly in every direction.
"So this is the alternate dimension Lord Isamu mentioned… it's empty… and huge…"
"It feels boundless… incredible…"
Zhan scanned the surroundings, stunned.
"A space-transfer technique… and his own dimension. Isamu… just how many abilities are you hiding?"
---
Outside, Isamu stepped into a swirling spatial vortex.
Moments later—
He appeared outside the gates of Kumogakure, in the Land of Lightning.
With a flick of his eye, he released everyone.
---
"We're here already?! Where is this?"
"This is the Land of Lightning," Isamu said calmly. "Right outside Kumogakure."
"Incredible… we crossed countries instantly!"
"Tch. Enough talking," Isamu cut them off. "See that wall?"
"Blow it up."
---
The ten of them roared—
Their bodies instantly transformed into the second form of the Tailed Beast Chakra Cloak.
Ten dark-red, miniature Nine-Tails stood in formation.
Isamu grinned.
"No one but me can create a sight like this…"
"My soldiers—fire a Tailed Beast Barrage. Tear down that wall."
---
"Biu! Biu! Biu!"
Tailed Beast Balls shot forward like machine-gun fire.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The massive city wall crumbled section by section.
Chaos erupted inside Kumogakure.
"Enemy attack!"
"The wall is down—run!"
"Evacuate the civilians! Genin, move them out! Everyone else, follow me!"
---
Inside the Raikage's office—
Explosions echoed.
"What's going on?!"
A shinobi rushed in.
"Lord Raikage! We're under attack!"
"Nani?!"
Furious, A (Fourth Raikage) smashed his desk, shattered the window, and leapt out.
"Whoever dares attack my village… is dead!"
"Lord Raikage, wait!" the guards shouted as they rushed after him.
---
Back at the gate—
The wall lay in ruins.
Isamu raised his hand, stopping the assault.
Today wasn't about slaughter.
It was a declaration.
Soon, Kumogakure shinobi arrived.
They froze at the sight—
One man…
and ten monstrous figures.
"Who are you?! Why are you attacking Kumogakure?!"
Isamu crossed his arms, completely unfazed.
"Heh. I'm not here to talk to trash like you."
"Go call your Raikage."
"Or I'll make you regret wasting my time."
