My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 398 Desire
"Naraku?"

Madara Uchiha stood on a tree branch, looking at the shrine maiden below, his expression calm. "I don't know where he is."

A few months ago, that cowardly guy approached him, trying to cooperate with him.

Without hesitation, he killed Naraku's puppets, then collected several fragments of the Shikon Jewel, killed a group of 'wolf demons' who were hunting and devouring humans, and then met a woman who called herself 'Kagura'.

He did not directly refuse the proposed cooperation. He continued to obtain a few more Shikon Jewel fragments by using the other party's information. He saw that Naraku was constantly circling around Inuyasha and his group. After seeing Kagome Higurashi's past life, he felt disgusted by Naraku's behavior of being both devoted to Kikyo and full of lies.

So he decided to abandon his allies, who were already harboring their own ulterior motives.

To be honest, Naraku, a half-demon, is very difficult to deal with. He is very perceptive in his various schemes and tricks, but his concern for Kikyo is his Achilles' heel.

Using bellflower as bait, he persuaded Kagura, who was inclined to betray him, to seize the opportunity and strike.

After stealing the Shikon Jewel shards and Kagura's heart from Naraku's body in a sneak attack, he became too lazy to bother with this difficult half-demon and turned to leave, until today.

"What do you want to do with the Shikon Jewel?"

The priestess Kikyo asked softly, holding an arrow but not in a hurry to draw it. Although she didn't know why the other party was collecting the Shikon Jewel, she knew that the other party had stolen it from Inuyasha and the others four times, fought with Naraku, and had been constantly collecting the Shikon Jewel.

Judging from the quantity, the opponent is almost able to collect all the Shikon Jewels.

The Shikon Jewel is a powerful jewel that changes its nature according to the wielder's desires, altering between good and evil. Once the wielder develops a desire for something, the jewel becomes more corrupted, which in turn intensifies the wielder's desires, ultimately leading to the wielder's demise amidst their insanely growing desires.

Her keen intuition told her that the half-demon opposite her was not a bad person. Firstly, he had not killed anyone during the four robberies of Inuyasha, and secondly, he was constantly hunting various demons.

From the early wolf demons, to the leopard cats, then the sealed dragon bone demon and the countless iron chickens, and countless other demons whose names are too numerous to recall, it was practically a walking demon slaughterhouse.

Villages and cities now worship this 'deity'.

Even good people, unless they are like her, a shrine maiden who is without desires, knows the Shikon Jewel inside and out, and is extremely vigilant, can easily be corrupted.

Madara Uchiha glanced coldly at the priestess, offered no reply, and leaped toward the distant cliff.

He wasn't just about to finish collecting them; he had already collected them all, and the complete Shikon Jewel was in his arms.

As his understanding of yokai deepened, his purpose in collecting the Shikon Jewel continued to evolve.

Even though he had committed countless killings in his original world and worked tirelessly towards the dream of destroying the world and imprisoning all of humanity, he was still a person who deeply yearned for peace.

First and foremost, it's about people.

It's almost impossible for demons to coexist peacefully with humans. Even though there are harmless half-demons like Inuyasha, the vast majority of demons treat humans as food.

This isn't meant to target anyone; monsters even devour other monsters, and cruelty and indifference are the nature of most monsters.

Even humans, after falling into monsters due to desires, will still harbor malice towards their former kind.

He initially wanted to use the Shikon Jewel to transform himself into a complete youkai, but later wondered if he could use the Shikon Jewel to become human and gain even greater power.

The gradually recovering power gave him ample confidence; the power of the monsters was utterly unimportant to him.
After collecting the Shikon Jewel, he saw the priestess Midori inside the jewel due to his Mangekyou Sharingan, which completely changed his mind.

[This woman?] Madara Uchiha noticed that the priestess Kikyo had been following him the whole time. He frowned but ignored her.

Several hours later, in Maple Village.

"Hmm~"

Kagome stretched and yawned, then slumped onto the table, grumbling, "What am I going to do? It's been half a month since I found any Shikon Jewel shards. Could Madara Uchiha have collected them all?" "Damn it!" Inuyasha, who had been leaning against the doorframe, jumped up with a bang, yelling, "It's all your fault for being so lazy! Exams, feeling unwell, not getting out of bed, teacher's talk—too many excuses!"

If it weren't for you—

"sit down!"

"Boom!"

Inuyasha immediately slammed to the floor.

Kagome's face flushed slightly as she said, "You can't blame me entirely. Even if we find the fragment, that guy will still steal it."

"Sigh~" The monk Maitreya next to him sighed, holding his teacup with both hands.

Not only did Inuyasha suffer a setback, but even he was helpless against the half-demon who claimed to be Uchiha Madara.
"If that guy's power hadn't lacked demonic energy, how could I have lost to him..." Inuyasha pulled out his head and shouted.

Despite possessing the Tessaiga, which had similar destructive power, Madara Uchiha did not use any demonic energy to attack, preventing him from using Madara's demonic energy to retaliate. In pure hand-to-hand combat, it was as if every move he made could be seen through.

The coral, not far away, shook its head and continued to maintain its flying bone.

Madara Uchiha broke into the demon-slaying village and stole the Shikon Jewel shards that were being offered there. Although he caused no casualties and completely disregarded everyone, the village still sent people out to retrieve the Shikon Jewel shards. In short, after experiencing all sorts of stories, they came together.

Having had the Shikon Jewel shards stolen from her several times, she had long since given up.

"Eh." Inuyasha sniffed the air and said, "That guy is coming towards the village. I can smell him!"

With that, he rushed out on his own, raised the Tessaiga, and jumped towards the edge of the village.

The others quickly followed and soon arrived near the Well of Bones.

As expected, Inuyasha was beaten to his knees with lightning speed, his eyes rolling back, just like the previous four times.

Madara Uchiha was standing in front of the Tree of Ages, one hand on the trunk, the other casually taking out the Shikon Jewel.

"Kikyo Shrine Maiden!" Miroku exclaimed as he saw the shrine maiden who had arrived late.

[Will the wish to travel the world be fulfilled through this tree?]

Madara Uchiha held the Shikon Jewel in his hand, his mind racing, as the Shikon Jewel gradually emitted a murky light.

He wasn't exactly a good person without desires, so naturally he couldn't make the right wishes.

However, his spirit was strong enough, and because of his Uchiha bloodline, he was extremely stubborn and difficult to influence.

"Yes," Qu Ling's voice rang out repeatedly, its tone meaningful: "Before you are satisfied, I will..."

[Fulfill all your wishes]

The next second, a great light shone brightly, and Madara Uchiha felt as if he had passed through a colorful tunnel and was finally squeezed out.

"Thud~" He landed on the rooftop made of reinforced concrete, looked at the towering buildings in the distance, and frowned.

Is this another world?
