In less than ten minutes, all the ninjas had arrived.
This included Aoki's elite subordinates, Minato, Kakashi, Might Guy, and others, as well as representatives and liaisons from various ninja departments. For example, Terumi Mei and Gengetsu Hozuki from the Hidden Mist, Rasa from the Hidden Sand…
These powerful individuals gathered together, forming an exceptionally impressive lineup. Nearly all the major forces currently in the Ninja World had been assembled.
Seeing that everyone had arrived promptly, Aoki nodded and began to speak.
"I've called everyone here today because there is a matter that concerns the very survival of the entire Ninja World!"
This single statement stunned everyone present.
A matter concerning the entire Ninja World?
This was no joke!
Especially since these words came from Aoki himself, lending them even greater weight.
The expressions of the ninjas instantly turned grave as they looked at Aoki with utmost seriousness, waiting for his explanation.
Aoki spoke, informing everyone present, "Madara Uchiha is still alive! Moreover, he intends to destroy the entire Ninja World!"
He then proceeded to explain the Moon Eye Plan in detail.
After hearing his explanation, the room fell into complete silence.
Many widened their eyes in disbelief, while others furrowed their brows deeply.
Aoki had certainly not exaggerated.
The fact that Madara Uchiha was still alive was enough to cause a significant stir across the entire world. Even more shocking was his current plan to destroy the world, leaving everyone deeply shaken.
"The Asura is still alive…"
"This is truly a troublesome matter!"
"If he has been hiding all this time, who knows how powerful his forces have become in secret!"
Many voiced their concerns anxiously.
Given Madara Uchiha's strength and cunning, any scheme he devised could easily put everyone at a disadvantage.
At this point, many spoke up proactively.
"Lord Aoki! Please tell us what to do!"
"Indeed! We cannot let the younger generation live in constant fear!"
"I once witnessed Madara Uchiha's combat prowess firsthand… It is beyond what any ninja today can match!"
Everyone had a very clear understanding of the threat posed by Madara Uchiha.
And precisely because of this, many were already panicking.
With their own strength, they didn't have much to fear if attacked.
But what about the young ninjas?
The Ninja World had finally entered an era of peace.
The younger generation had barely enjoyed a few good days.
With Madara Uchiha's arrival, wouldn't they be plunged back into endless warfare?
This thought weighed heavily on their minds.
Aoki spoke up at this moment.
"My stance is very clear."
"We must stop Madara Uchiha's plans."
"Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to a catastrophe in the Ninja World!"
As his words fell, everyone present nodded in agreement.
"Lord Aoki is right!"
"Agreed! We must take preventive measures!"
Everyone voiced their support.
"The only problem is..."
"Perhaps our strength isn't enough!"
Someone raised this doubt.
Madara Uchiha was preparing to take action.
And the powerful figures he had revived through Edo Tensei posed a serious threat.
This was no easy matter!
Hearing the ninjas' concerns, Aoki smiled mysteriously.
"Everyone, there's no need to worry."
"I have already found the strongest allies for all of us!"
As he spoke, he gave a signal.
Just as everyone was wondering who Aoki's so-called allies were, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju stepped forward, accompanied by numerous legendary predecessors!
Seeing them, the ninjas present widened their eyes in shock.
Many even stood up abruptly!
"The… the First Hokage?"
"The Second Hokage?"
"Grandfather?"
"The First Mizukage? Am I seeing this right?"
"Master…?"
The scene erupted into an uproar.
Seeing these ninjas, who should have been dead for many years, appear alive and well before their eyes, the contemporary ninjas were nearly speechless.
Some with weaker mental fortitude almost fainted on the spot.
After the lively reunions, both sides of ninjas finally calmed down.
Everyone knew that the person who had performed this resurrection Ninjutsu was Aoki himself.
Their gazes toward Aoki were filled with even more reverence and admiration.
Bringing the dead back to life!
For the vast majority, such a thing was nothing more than a fantasy.
No one had expected Lord Aoki to truly accomplish such a feat, and even revive so many powerful figures at once!
Chiyo trembled as she spoke.
"Lord Aoki… I know a little about resurrection Ninjutsu."
"But such techniques require the caster to sacrifice their own life!"
"How did you manage to do this?"
Chiyo's words piqued everyone's curiosity.
Aoki simply smiled faintly.
"Such restrictions only apply to ordinary ninjas."
"For someone of my level, it merely consumes some Chakra."
Arrogant!
Aoki's words showed he didn't take life and death seriously at all.
Truly arrogant.
Yet, everyone was convinced!
After all, Aoki was the one who had created such a miracle.
Who could doubt his words?
The evidence was right before their eyes!
At this moment, the ninjas had completely shed their earlier worries and concerns.
They were all excited, filled with confidence about this war!
"With Lord Aoki here, there's nothing to fear!"
"That's right! And there are so many powerful seniors!"
"Just Madara Uchiha alone is nothing to worry about!"
The venue echoed with cheerful laughter.
On the other side!
Madara Uchiha, Zetsu, and a few others.
Were sneaking around everywhere, digging up graves and tombs.
They had to avoid being detected by regular ninjas.
While also investigating everywhere for the bodies of powerful individuals.
Fortunately, Zetsu had secretly gathered a lot of information over the years.
After Madara changed bodies, his strength had also returned to its peak state.
Combined with some information from the Underground Exchange.
They finally managed to collect enough corpses.
It took them a great deal of effort.
But it wasn't in vain.
Madara Uchiha and Zetsu stood in an underground base.
Looking at the densely packed rows of coffins before them.
Both let out a long sigh.
It had been truly difficult!
After such a long preparation, they finally had enough corpses!
"Then, the plan begins!"
Madara Uchiha said excitedly.
He clapped his hands together and shouted.
"Edo Tensei!"
Instantly, thick smoke rose.
Then, the coffins opened their lids one after another.
A group of powerful figures stepped out!
Kinkaku and Ginkaku, the Second Tsuchikage, Yugito Nii, Hanzo of the Salamander...
Looking at these figures, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but let out a wild laugh!
