Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara stood with his arms crossed, his expression cold.

Opposite him, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke looked extremely battered, panting heavily.

Although the two had already done their utmost, activating Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan respectively, in front of Edo Madara, who possessed the Rinnegan and an immortal body, they were simply no match.

They could only watch helplessly as the resurrected Uchiha Madara in the distance brutally beat the Tailed Beasts!

"Damn it, we can’t let him stall us any longer!" Uchiha Sasuke said through gritted teeth.

That resurrected Uchiha Madara was clearly even stronger. If they didn’t go and stop him now, he might really become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki. And at that point, no one would be able to stop them!

But the Edo Madara in front of them wouldn’t just let the two of them leave...

At this moment, Naruto and Sasuke had not received the gift of the Sage of Six Paths.

They had no Six Paths Yang Power and Yin Power.

No Truth-Seeking Balls, no Rinnegan, and no power capable of contending with the Rinnegan.

Facing Edo Madara’s Rinnegan and immortal body, they appeared so weak and powerless.

It was at this moment that Renya’s figure appeared in front of Naruto and Sasuke, directly facing Edo Madara’s oppressive aura.

The three-tomoe Sharingan transformed into a Mangekyō, emitting an aura not weaker than Edo Madara’s.

"You two go stop the resurrected Uchiha Madara. Leave this Edo Tensei Madara to me!"

"You... are?"

Uzumaki Naruto wiped the blood and dust off his face, feeling confused by this mysterious powerhouse who suddenly appeared.

If he remembered correctly, wasn’t he on Uchiha Madara’s side?

Why would he come to help them at this time?

But the fact that he chose to stand on their side against Madara was undoubtedly like sending charcoal in the snow!

Uchiha Sasuke stared intently at Renya, his vigilance undiminished. But right now the threat of the living Madara was greater, so he did not voice any objection.

"You really came to stop us, just as he said." Edo Madara’s gaze swept over Renya, carrying a hint of impatience. "Even if the number of ants increases, it cannot change the essence of ants!"

Although he was very dissatisfied that another version of himself had seized the opportunity for resurrection, he knew that as long as the "Eye of the Moon" plan could be realized,

then there wasn’t really any problem.

It was just that Renya had clearly been on the side of the other version of himself from another timeline.

Yet now he had come to stop them from carrying out the plan.

Edo Madara felt betrayed, and decided to teach this traitor a proper lesson on behalf of his other self.

However, the living Madara had not told him about Renya’s true strength.

So he believed Renya’s level was roughly on par with Uchiha Sasuke.

"You can leave now." Renya ignored his words and spoke to the two who were still stunned. "I’ll hold him back. You go stop the resurrected Madara."

"Understood!" Uzumaki Naruto nodded heavily, while Uchiha Sasuke gave a slight nod.

Taking the opportunity, the two left and headed toward the living Madara who was beating the nine Tailed Beasts.

"Hold me back? Ridiculous!"

Edo Madara snorted coldly and raised his hand with a wave.

"Shinra Tensei!"

The expected overwhelming repulsive force did not appear.

Instead, there was only Renya’s half-smiling expression.

Edo Madara held his hand up, confusion flashing through his eyes.

Why was he suddenly unable to use the power of the Rinnegan?!

But very quickly, he realized that the change in his body must be inseparable from the Renya in front of him!

"Boy, I don’t know what method you used to prevent me from using the Rinnegan," Edo Madara said calmly. "But you don’t think that without the Rinnegan, I’m no match for you, do you!"

As he spoke, he directly launched a taijutsu attack!

Being unable to use the Rinnegan’s abilities should be the ability of that kid’s Mangekyō.

But it should only be temporary.

Before long, he would surely recover.

After all, the stronger the ocular technique, the more eye power and chakra it consumes.

Even if Renya’s eyes were Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, it would be impossible for him to keep using their ability forever.

Even if the Eternal Mangekyō’s eye power was sufficient, his chakra wouldn’t be able to support such prolonged consumption!

Unless he possessed chakra as enormous as Hashirama’s!

Because Renya had not fully unleashed his own chakra, Edo Madara did not know the amount of his chakra.

Subconsciously, he assumed it was simply the chakra level of an ordinary Uchiha clan member.

But as time passed, he gradually realized something was wrong.

So much time had passed—why was he still unable to use the Rinnegan?!

What kind of joke was this!

Did this kid really have such terrifying chakra reserves?!

"The dead shouldn’t interfere with the affairs of the living world." Renya drew the katana from his waist and said with a cold expression,

"In this world, having one Uchiha Madara is already enough."

Edo Madara: "???"

What the hell?

I became the counterfeit?!

No, I’m the Uchiha Madara of this timeline!

And yet with just a few words, this kid labeled me the fake!

Edo Madara was completely stunned upon hearing this.

But he quickly calmed down. Facing Renya’s arrogant words, he sneered.

"Even if you can stop me from using the Rinnegan, how will you defeat me, who possesses an Edo body?"

Aside from sealing techniques and Yin–Yang Release, there was no other way to deal with Edo Tensei.

Looking at Renya, he didn’t seem like someone proficient in powerful sealing techniques.

As for Yin–Yang Release, that was even more impossible!

If he could use Yin–Yang Release, he wouldn’t have dragged things out until now.

Edo Madara looked at Renya in front of him, then glanced at Naruto and Sasuke in the distance being beaten half to death, and revealed a confident smile.

Right now, no one in the ninja world could stop them.

All they needed to do was wait for White Zetsu to deliver the Rinnegan, and the other him could become the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.

Then their long-awaited "Eye of the Moon" plan would finally be realized.

"You did remind me of something."

However, Renya’s next words froze the smile on Edo Madara’s face.

"Right now I indeed don’t have a way to deal with your Edo body. But soon, I will."

"What do you mean?"

Edo Madara’s smile faded as he frowned and asked coldly.

He had a feeling this kid was about to pull something huge right in front of him...

A bad premonition began to sprout in his heart.

"With my current recovery ability, I should be able to plug it in and use it right away, right?"

Renya ignored Edo Madara and muttered to himself.

Edo Madara: "???"

What was he talking about? What thing could be plug-and-play?

But very quickly, he understood what the kid meant.

Renya took out a cultivation container from a storage scroll.

Inside it was unmistakably a pair of Rinnegan!

Edo Madara’s eyes widened in disbelief, his face looking as if he had seen a ghost.

"Rinnegan?!"

Where did this kid get a pair of Rinnegan from—and there were even two of them!

At this moment, he finally understood what Renya had meant earlier by plug-and-play.

Since Madara himself had already resurrected and participated in the "Eye of the Moon" plan, Renya naturally no longer needed to hide the matter of that pair of Rinnegan.
