Naruto: Uchiha Youngjo's Konoha Spring

Chapter 295 The World of Uchiha Madara

Although Isshiki Otsutsuki's current abilities are very troublesome, they are not completely unbeatable. However, Neji, who has awakened his original Tenseigan, is able to feel the pressure from the depths of Isshiki's bloodline more than Nagato and Hashirama.

"Buy me some time, I'll try to seal him away directly." At this moment, Pain appeared beside Neji and said.

"Okay, let's give it a try." Neji nodded.

Meanwhile, even after the Myojin Gate was broken, Hashirama Senju's offensive did not stop.

"Wood Release·Wood Dragon Technique!"

A colossal, ferocious wooden dragon, shrouded in dense Sage Chakra, roared as it burst forth from the ground on one of the flanks! Its massive jaws snapped open, ready to bite down on Ichishi! The powerful sealing energy contained within the wooden dragon was enough to disrupt the spatial structure and interrupt any potential spatial techniques the opponent might be using!
Yi Shi frowned slightly, and had to sway his body to avoid the wooden dragon's bite.

At that moment, Neji's attack followed closely behind.

"Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!" The green energy vortex transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping towards Otsutsuki Isshiki from all directions. This time, Neji used pure Tenseigan power, so that the energy level wouldn't be too far off from Isshiki's.

In the process of dodging, Nagato's body showed a momentary opening, and at that moment, Nagato keenly seized the opportunity.

Pain's body instantly appeared below Isshiki Otsutsuki, his hands clasped together.

"Earth Explosion Sky Star!"

A pitch-black gravitational core suddenly formed high above Otsutsuki Isshiki's head! A terrifying gravitational force erupted instantly! The earth trembled violently, and countless massive rocks, burning tree debris, shattered ninja tools, and even the corpses of Iwagakure soldiers were forcibly pulled off the ground, surging wildly towards the black core like rivers flowing into the sea! A huge rock sphere rapidly formed and expanded in the air, attempting to completely seal Otsutsuki Isshiki within it!
Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked up at the rapidly forming miniature planet, a hint of seriousness finally flashing in his eyes, but more so, anger at being offended.

"A mere trick!" An unprecedented light erupted from Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's dark eyes: "Daikokuten: Spatial Exile!"

Om-!
The space before him twisted and shattered violently like a mirror, forming an unstable, pitch-black spatial vortex! The massive, newly formed Earth-Exploding Star meteorite, carrying terrifying sealing gravity, was forcibly swallowed and transferred by this spatial vortex! It vanished without a trace! As if it had never existed!
However, by forcibly activating such a large-scale spatial technique, the wedge mark on Isshiki Ōtsutsuki's seemingly perfect body, which was originally a thin, black crack-like mark, suddenly became clear and deep! There was even a faint black energy emanating from it! He groaned, his body stiffened for a very short time, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on his face!
"His energy is unstable!" Below, Neji, with blood and tears streaming down his face, keenly noticed this! The Tenseigan's perception of energy far surpasses that of ordinary people, and at this moment, he was the first to discover that something was wrong with Otsutsuki Isshiki.

"Now! Lord Hashirama! Pain!" Ignoring the tearing pain in his eyes, Neji burned, compressed, and condensed the remaining power of his Tenseigan into his palm without reservation!

A golden lightsaber, condensed to the point of near-tangibility, suddenly took shape, emitting a humming sound that seemed to cut through space! Its target was the now clear and deep mark on Isshiki's cheek! This was a final, all-or-nothing strike!
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

"Understood!" Hashirama Senju's eyes flashed with a sharp light! He slammed his hands on the ground: "Sage Art: Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique!"

Countless giant wooden Buddha hands tore through the burning earth, layer upon layer sealing off all possible escape routes, forming a massive wooden cage!

Blood gushed from the head of the army, and his emaciated body convulsed violently, but the light of the Rinnegan in his eyes burned to its extreme!

"Hungry Ghost Path - Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!"

The Preta Path opened its massive maw, unleashing a chakra storm imbued with the seal technique, creating an invisible yet powerful chakra defense around Isshiki! It was about to tear a gap in Neji's path for his fatal blow!
Faced with the attacks of the three, Otsutsuki Isshiki felt an unprecedented crisis! The burning and tearing sensation from the "Karma" told him that the burden brought by the spatial exile of Chibaku Tensei was far beyond his expectations.

At this moment, Neji's golden light sword that locked onto his "Karma" seal, Hashirama's Wood Release cage that sealed off space, and Nagato's Rinnegan suction that was trying to strip away his defenses... the three forces worked together seamlessly!

"Insects! How dare you—!" Otsutsuki Isshiki roared in fury, attempting to use his spatial abilities to escape once more. However, the violent fluctuations of the "Karma" caused an extremely brief lag in his manipulation of space!

It's that one-thousandth of a second of delay!

laugh--! ! !
Neji unleashed his "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion," a dazzling golden line that pierced through the void within the tiny gap torn open by Nagato's "Hungry Ghost Path" and within the absolute confinement domain created by Hashirama's "Minato no Koto Technique." It pierced with unparalleled precision the deep black "wedge" mark on Isshiki's face!

There were no earth-shattering explosions.

There was only one chilling "crack" sound, like glass being pierced by the sharpest object and about to shatter completely!

"Uhhhhhh-!!!"

He let out an unprecedented, agonizing, and incredulous scream! The "wedge" on his forehead shattered like broken porcelain, instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks! A violent and chaotic black energy surged out from it like an out-of-control torrent! His entire body trembled and twisted violently, his eyes filled with chaos and rage!
The space around him twisted and collapsed violently and unstablely! He glanced down with venomous hatred at Neji, who was falling with his eyes closed, tears of blood streaming down his face, and barely breathing; Nagato, who was bleeding from all seven orifices and completely unconscious in the Allied Forces Command Headquarters; and Hashirama Senju, who, although exhausted, still had piercing eyes and was controlling the giant wooden hand closing in.

“Damn ants, and this damned, inferior world…” Ichishi’s voice was distorted with pain and rage, “I… I’ve remembered!”

Before he could finish speaking, the chaotic and rampant black energy around him suddenly erupted! The space collapsed completely like a shattered mirror, forming a pitch-black vortex that devoured everything! Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's twisted figure was instantly sucked into it and disappeared!
Also disappearing were the two impure bodies suppressed by the Ming Shen Gate—Hozuki Gengetsu and Mu. As the caster, Ichishiki, was defeated and fled, the connection between the impure world and the reincarnation was forcibly severed.

boom!boom!
The two soulless, filthy bodies, as the spatial vortex completely closed, turned into two wisps of dust, falling softly and falling into utter silence.

Rumble... The wooden Buddha hand summoned by Hashirama Senju closed heavily, but only struck empty air, stirring up clouds of dust.

The battlefield fell into deathly silence.

Sunlight struggled to penetrate the pervasive smoke and dust, illuminating the completely collapsed ruins of the Kannabi Bridge, the devastated land littered with corpses, and the three figures who had almost changed the course of the battle but now paid a heavy price.

Hashirama Senju took a deep breath and looked around at the devastated battlefield. Even in his Edo Tensei state with unlimited chakra, the former God of Shinobi still showed a deep weariness and solemnity in his eyes.

The appearance of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was like a dark cloud hanging over the land that had just been baptized by blood and fire.

After the defenses at Kannabi Bridge were breached, the remaining Iwagakure troops retreated hundreds of kilometers. They finally managed to rebuild their defenses by relying on the natural barriers behind them. However, when Onoki saw the scale of the destruction caused by Neji and the others on the battlefield, he couldn't help but shake his head. In front of these people, could this so-called natural barrier really be considered a natural barrier?
Fortunately, after Konoha breached the Kannabi Bridge, it temporarily halted its advance. Before continuing, appeasing the ordinary people in the occupied territories was a crucial task.

Unlike in the Land of Lightning, where the people along the way welcomed the defeated Cloud Village army with food and drink, the people of the Land of Earth still have feelings for the Hidden Stone Village and the Land of Earth. Therefore, Konoha will have to pay a certain price to appease these people.

Meanwhile, Neji and Nagato, who suffered serious injuries in this battle, also need a period of rest and recuperation.

Uchiha Tokō, who was in Konoha, also received news that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had appeared on the battlefield. After pondering for a while, Uchiha Tokō found Tobi and asked him to take him to the cave where Uchiha Madara had once hidden.

Since Isshiki Otsutsuki is no longer going to hide, it's time to let Madara out and make a move. If the situation becomes more chaotic, Tokio Uchiha will have a chance to try to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, and thus reach a higher level.

Uchiha Touko could now sense that his strength had reached a ceiling. Through countless choices and simulations, he had pushed the Sage Mode, which was exclusive to humans, to a higher level. He had paved the way for Uchiha Asahi, the former genius of the Uchiha clan in Sage Mode, who had almost failed. However, Uchiha Touko also had to face a real problem: his bloodline did not support him to take the normal path to further progress.

Uchiha Tokō was not a reincarnation of Indra's chakra. The combined power of the Senju and Uchiha clans made the method of advancing through the power of the myriad phenomena of the world completely impossible for him. However, during the process of cultivating Sage Mode, which is exclusive to humans, Uchiha Tokō could also sense that this path had the potential for further advancement.

However, Uchiha Touko knew nothing about what beings at the level of the Sage of Six Paths were like.

Therefore, the reason why Uchiha Touko wanted to start the Eye of the Moon Project was to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, to see the level of the Sage of Six Paths, and thus find the possibility of advancing on his own.

After Tobi led Uchiha Touko to the cave where Uchiha Madara had previously hidden, a large number of White Zetsu had already gathered there. Upon seeing Uchiha Touko appear, a White Zetsu stepped forward, saluted, and shouted loudly:
"Salute to Lord Dou Guang! Loyal and faithful!"

"Loyalty! Sincerity!" The voices of the White Zetsu saluting echoed in the cave.

"Loyalty." Uchiha Touko nodded in satisfaction. These White Zetsu were the best cattle and horses. As long as Uchiha Touko was willing to play this role-playing game with them, the White Zetsu's loyalty was genuine.

"Afei, have you finished explaining everything?" After returning the greeting, Uchiha Touko looked at Afei and asked.

"Reporting to Lord Douguang, all 1500 White Zetsu present are ready. They have memorized the scenarios for their various identities and are ready to begin the 'Uchiha Madara's World' plan at any time!"

“Very well, let’s begin.” Uchiha Touko nodded and beckoned. A White Zetsu with a fanatical expression lay down on a platform in the center of the cave. The rest of the White Zetsu sank into the ground, while Tobi, who was next to him, had a layer of black substance floating on his body, disguising himself as a Black Zetsu.

Uchiha Touko arrived in front of White Zetsu, took out a piece of Uchiha Madara's flesh that had been sealed, placed it on White Zetsu, and then formed the hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Before long, the white Zetsu in front of them began to transform into the appearance of a long-haired man wearing old-fashioned chainmail.

A few minutes later, Madara Uchiha's reanimated body, lying on the platform, suddenly opened its eyes.

After opening his eyes, Madara Uchiha sat up, looked at his body, and then expressed his doubts.

"It's not the Samsara Rebirth technique, but the Impure World Reincarnation? Has something happened to Nagato?" Madara Uchiha frowned slightly, and at that moment, he also sensed an unfamiliar chakra beside him.

"Who are you?" Uchiha Touko's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he suddenly looked at Uchiha Touko.

"Ancestor Madara, welcome back." Uchiha Touko bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"Ancestor?" Madara Uchiha noticed the fan-shaped clan crest embroidered on Touko Uchiha's clothes. "A descendant of the Uchiha clan?"

"And...your chakra fluctuations..." After sensing Uchiha Touko's chakra fluctuations, Madara Uchiha remembered that the clansman in front of him was Uchiha Touko, who had slaughtered Kirigakure on the battlefield of the Third Shinobi World War. At that time, he had actually considered having Uchiha Touko as his representative in the shinobi world. However, Uchiha Touko, who had lost both his parents at a young age and whose only caring relative had died at the beginning of the war, made Madara Uchiha feel at a loss.

Therefore, in the end, Madara Uchiha chose Obito as his pawn. But now, he has been resurrected by Edo Tensei, but Obito is no longer here. At the same time, Madara Uchiha also sensed that the fluctuations of the cursed seal he left in Obito's heart have disappeared.
