Chapter 407: Wait for Me, I’m Going to Call for Backup!
Although Madara was extremely curious and suspicious about the durability of the Tobirama clone that had just appeared, and slightly shocked by its deadly attack, the overall situation was still under his control.
Tobirama seemed to have escaped using the Flying Thunder God Technique, but as the saying goes, "The monk can run away, but the temple can't." Don't forget, there are still thousands of Konoha hostages here.
Madara reactivated Wood Release.
The massive wave of the Forest of Trees expanded once again, engulfing the still-unconscious Konoha main force.
Once more, these hostages were in his grasp.
However, the continuous use of techniques also drained a considerable amount of Madara's chakra.
Fortunately, this time he had brought three Bijuu as "power banks," allowing him to recharge his energy at any time. This way, he didn't have to worry about his chakra consumption.
In the past, Madara had underestimated the Bijuu, considering them nothing more than a bunch of wild beasts.
But after actually riding Kurama and experiencing its resilience and endurance firsthand, his perspective changed drastically.
In fact, without Kurama, during the Battle at the Valley of the End, he might have been defeated by Hashirama early on.
There was no way he could have fought until the very end.
