Chapter 667: Caught in the Crossfire
Madara’s sudden activation of dual Rinnegan far exceeded Tobirama’s expectations.
How could he have guessed that Madara would awaken the Rinnegan so quickly?
Wasn’t Madara supposed to take decades, only awakening the Rinnegan near death? Who gave him this cheat?
Moreover, when Parallel World 2 Madara last fought Parallel World 1 Madara, he was forced to use Izanagi, blinding his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Yet now, it had fully recovered upon upgrading to the Rinnegan!
Parallel World 2 Madara returned to peak condition—a perfect form combining youth, Wood Release, and Rinnegan; three core elements!
Far stronger than the Edo Tensei Madara in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was a true Quasi-Six Paths.
This was the real reason Madara remained calm and willing to "dance" briefly, even after seeing Tobirama erupt with such immense power.
Meanwhile, seeing Madara with dual Rinnegan, Tobirama’s heart sank momentarily, instinctively recalling bitter memories of being beaten by Madara. But the arrow was already loosed—he had to follow through! Besides, his Tenseigan’s power might not lose to Madara’s Rinnegan.
Who was stronger could only be determined in actual combat. If he cowered and fled now, not only might the Sage of the Six Paths look down on him, but Tobirama would despise himself.
Moreover, he thoroughly understood Madara’s Rinnegan abilities, while Madara knew little about his new Tenseigan. With the advantage of information asymmetry, he wasn’t without a chance of winning. Having waited so long for this day, after painstakingly gaining power to rival Madara, how could Tobirama give up? He had to fight all out to ease his heart.

A massive war between the two erupted instantly.
