Summary

The sting of his own blood delights Madara, whose Hashirama-derived power knits the wound shut while he admits that being alive again briefly made him reckless. His move to perform a summoning unnerves Kurama, which remembers being called upon by Madara long ago; when Shukaku dismisses the worry over a single human, the fox warns the tanuki never to take Madara lightly. Madara then draws the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path out of Obito. Kakashi lunges with Kamui to tear the statue apart but manages only to strip away its right arm before it materialises beside its summoner. Acknowledging that the enemy has a capable eye technique, Madara judges the loss meaningless.

Key Events

Naruto and the tailed beasts register both the summon and the fact that Madara has shed his reincarnated body, leading Naruto to deduce that Obito revived him fully. Mounting the statue, Madara trains his Rinnegan on the beasts through Limbo: Border Jail, flinging them backward, then binds them with the statue's chains. He declares his intent to strip Gyūki and Kurama from their hosts first.
