Chapter 170: He Showed Up Carrying a Speaker!
Just as everyone was drowning in despair, a booming sound echoed through the battlefield.
The music was majestic, solemn, and awe-inspiring.
In such a suffocating, oppressive situation, it was as if a divine entity was about to descend upon the world.
Confused and curious, all eyes turned toward the sky, searching for the source of this imposing sound.
Moments later, they saw him: Uchiha Yi sitting on his blazing throne, cradling Mei Terumi in his arms, descending grandly into view.
The dramatic background music amplified the impact of his entrance. The scene seemed to impose a psychological suggestion: this man was unfathomably powerful, a being far beyond comprehension.
The oppressive atmosphere froze everyone in their tracks for a few seconds.
Madara was the first to recover.
"Lady Mizukage... you…"
The surviving ninja from the Mist Village stared, wide-eyed, at their leader, who was now nestled comfortably in Uchiha Yi's arms. They were utterly shocked.
How could this ferocious woman have been tamed by someone?
"That guy... finally decided to show up," Onoki and Rasa muttered simultaneously, breathing a sigh of relief.
They believed that Uchiha Yi's arrival was to stop Madara from destroying the world.
"Damn it, this guy always has to make such a grand entrance," grumbled Tsunade, immediately recognizing the familiar music.
Though annoyed, a faint sense of security washed over her.
While she wasn't sure exactly how strong Uchiha Yi was, she remembered him being stronger than her grandfather.
If even Uchiha Yi couldn't stop Madara, no one in the ninja world could.
"Hehehe... fascinating!"
"Knowing everything, I assume this was also within your expectations?" Orochimaru's snake-like eyes gleamed with excitement as he watched Uchiha Yi arrive.
"This man might bring the change the ninja world needs."
"Who is he?" Minato asked, puzzled.
He could see the glimmers of hope in the eyes of the remaining ninja, a feeling that this person was a savior.
"Hmph! Another Uchiha brat born evil!" Tobirama muttered under his breath.
Despite his animosity toward the Uchiha, Tobirama knew this wasn't the time for infighting. His comments were softer than usual, more a grumble than a true condemnation.
"And you are?" Madara asked, his single Rinnegan eye fixed on Uchiha Yi, his tone laced with disdain.
Having been revived so recently, Madara hadn't yet familiarized himself with the ninja world's latest developments. Uchiha Yi's exaggerated entrance clearly didn't sit well with him.
"And who are you?" Uchiha Yi replied casually, raising an eyebrow.
He, of course, knew who Madara was, but he saw no reason to give him the satisfaction of an answer.
Who says I have to play by your rules?
"You must be one of Hashirama's lackeys. Let me test your mettle!"
Madara's patience snapped. Yi's disregard for him stoked his ire.
"Let me down!" Mei whispered urgently, her face flushed with embarrassment.
"Alright, but remember what you promised me," Yi replied with a mischievous smile. Without another word, he unceremoniously tossed her to the ground.
"Ah!"
Caught completely off guard, Mei yelped in surprise as she plummeted.
Fortunately, her ninja instincts kicked in, and she adjusted mid-air to land gracefully.
However, the moment of panic and the public nature of her descent left her flustered. She clenched her fists, glaring upward at Yi with an expression that screamed murder.
"How could you?!"
Despite her anger, she knew better than to antagonize him. She sighed in defeat, realizing there was no escaping his clutches.

"Let me test your strength, descendant of Uchiha!"
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Madara, now enhanced with Hashirama's Sage Chakra, used the legendary jutsu to summon a forest that rapidly grew around Uchiha Yi. The trees stretched outward, their branches lunging toward Yi like predators closing in on prey.
"Fair enough. Let's see how your wood measures up."
With an almost lazy motion, Yi drew his Zanpakuto, a blade now wreathed in black flames.
"Sage Art: Amaterasu Flame Slash!"
With a casual swing, the black flames erupted, forming a crescent-shaped wave that swept through the oncoming trees.
The black fire cut through the forest effortlessly, leaving burning stumps in its wake. The flames clung to the severed branches, preventing them from regrowing.
Madara's eyes narrowed as he observed the scene.
He nullified my technique so easily?
"Madara, that man is Uchiha Yi. He's incredibly strong. It would be unwise to antagonize him," Black Zetsu warned, appearing beside Madara.
"Hmph, I don't need your advice!" Madara barked.
He turned to Yi, his pride stinging.
"Descendant of Uchiha, I acknowledge your strength."
"But now, I will show you my full power. Let's see if you can survive!"
With those words, Madara began summoning his Susano'o. The skeletal structure quickly formed, followed by layers of muscle and armor.
The towering blue warrior loomed over the battlefield, a testament to Madara's might.
Yi smirked as he casually rested his Zanpakuto on his shoulder.
"Finally, things are getting interesting."
