The Aged Uchiha Madara

The state of the war between Konoha and Iwa had suddenly changed. Though fighting continued on the front lines, as long as Konoha's ninja did not invade the Land of Earth itself, the intensity of the war between the two sides would remain limited to a certain extent. This was because Ōnoki, Iwagakure's Third Tsuchikage, had sent out signals of seeking peace, yet he was unwilling to easily end the war and admit that his side had been defeated, resulting in this rather strange situation.
