Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 151 Uchiha Madara
"Konan, my wood clones don't have much chakra left, and I can no longer control the Six Paths of Pain."

In the sky, Pain looked down at the battlefield below and lied to Konan beside him in a calm tone: "The battle on the main body's side will not end for some time. Take Yahiko's body away first, and then wait for the signal from the main body to connect with Pain."

"it is good."

Without any doubt, Konan used the Dance of Shikigami to create a large number of paper strips, wrapped Pain in them, and flew away from Amegakure with him.

After a day and a night of fighting, everyone in the Akatsuki organization except for Konan, who was still on the battlefield, had left.

Even Kisame Hoshigaki, the tailless tailed beast, couldn't sustain his chakra for more than a day and a night.

Furthermore, the puppet army's Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Flying Thunder God Technique both countered Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Release and Chakra Absorption.

On the battlefield between the puppet army and the reanimated army, the living were at a huge disadvantage.

Killing the human puppet would only result in a loss of some materials for Otsutsuki Toneri at most.

As for corpses, they can be sourced from the five great ninja villages at any time.

On the other hand, if they were injured or killed, they would have only themselves to blame and deserved it.

Furthermore, since human puppets don't have blood, and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode counters Deidara's Exploding Clay, even idiots like Hidan and Deidara are unwilling to go all out, let alone the others.

Nagato didn't care about their departure, and even tacitly approved of it.

Asking them to give their all in this war of the undead is indeed asking too much of them.

Being able to help him get rid of some of the puppets would be enough.

After a day and a night of final battle, the puppet army had gone from having the upper hand to being at a disadvantage.

Although half of the Nine-Tails' chakra is stronger than that of the complete Eight-Tails, it is ultimately not truly infinite chakra.

In contrast, the Edo Tensei army not only possesses unlimited chakra but also immortality.

If you can't seal it with the Book of Sealing during the few seconds of stiffness when the Impure World Reincarnation technique repairs the body, then the previous attack will have been a waste of chakra.

At the beginning, Izayoi's wooden clone and Nagato's wooden clone were too busy to attend to each puppet and the dead resurrected through Edo Tensei.

However, as the number of human puppets and the dead increased, the number of human puppets and the dead that each wooden clone was responsible for also decreased sharply to a certain extent.

From that moment on, the battle was no longer a one-man show, but a perfectly coordinated team effort.

Izayoi's wooden clones would not give the resurrected dead a chance to smash the severely damaged human puppets to pieces. Instead, they would control the human puppets to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, or have other puppets use the Heavenly Delivery Technique to send the severely damaged human puppets away.

Similarly, if the body of a resurrected dead person is destroyed, other dead people will not give the puppet a chance to seal it away.

In this way, only the puppet army suffers losses, naturally turning an advantage into a disadvantage.

If the dead cannot be sealed away after being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, their entries cannot be obtained.

Izayoi's points haven't increased in a long time.

However, while Nagato's clones seem to have the upper hand, their situation is actually not much better.

If the Wood Clone only needed to control the resurrected dead in battle and didn't require much chakra, the battle that lasted a day and a night would have exhausted all its chakra and turned it into small trees.

The wood clone responsible for controlling the Six Paths of Pain had already exhausted its chakra.

The Six Paths of Pain and the members of Akatsuki also collectively withdrew from the scene.

Without a chakra replenishment, once Nagato's wood clones automatically dissipate, the resurrected dead will lose the ability to operate like Kage-level warriors.

If Nagato doesn't restore their consciousness, these dead will remain puppets without self-awareness, fighting solely on instinct.

At that time, the puppet army, whose chakra reserves have plummeted, will regain the upper hand.

"I'm sorry, Konan..."

Watching Konan depart, Nagato's clone controlled the Animal Path to use the Reverse Summoning Technique, leaving Konan a simple will before severing the signal connection with the Six Paths of Pain. He whispered, "I'm afraid I can't fulfill Yahiko's dream. I hope you won't take your own life and will live well in my place and Yahiko's place."

"Chief, we haven't lost yet."

Just as Nagato's wood clone was recovering its chakra by collecting the other wood clones, preparing to use its last strength to die a dignified death alongside its main body.

A slightly hoarse voice suddenly reached his ears.

Black and white Zetsu emerged from the ground and spoke to Nagato in this manner.

"Zetsu, you haven't left yet?" Nagato asked, slightly surprised.

Obito Uchiha had already escaped; he thought that Zetsu, Black and White Zetsu, had also escaped.

Aren't these two guys in cahoots?
"Leader, we have another trump card."

Black and White Zetsu took out a scroll and said to Nagato, "With the Impure World Reincarnation as your trump card, you can definitely turn the tide of the battle."

Nagato showed no delight, but instead said meaningfully, "Since you have such a trump card, why didn't you take it out before?"

"Because Obito wouldn't allow it." Black Zetsu directly betrayed Obito Uchiha, saying, "He said that if this trump card falls into your hands, you might never need it again."

Nagato remained silent, but in his heart he had made up his mind about one thing.

Obito Uchiha, he doesn't seem to be with the Black and White Zetsu...

What that guy said to him in the Divine Might Space was indeed not the truth.

The idea that the Uchiha clan is tasked with guiding those who possess the Rinnegan is all a lie.

His Rinnegan was indeed not innate, but was transplanted into his body when he was very young.

He and Obito Uchiha were merely pawns of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Black and White Zetsu were very likely his and Obito Uchiha's monitors.

Only in this way would Obito Uchiha be wary of both Black and White Zetsu, and only then would Tobi choose himself without hesitation between Obito Uchiha and himself.

The trump card inside this scroll might just be that... person behind the scenes.

Nagato already had a guess in mind, but he still needed to confirm it.

So he said, "Show me your hand."

"Yes."

Black and White Zetsu were unaware that Nagato had already guessed what the trump card was. Instead, they quickly opened the scroll and took out what was inside.

With a loud bang, smoke filled the air.

A corpse, restored to its golden age by Hashirama cells, White Zetsu cells, and the Gedo Mazo, was revealed. Unlike its withered and aged state at death, it was now restored to its prime.

Upon seeing the corpse, a look of realization flashed in Nagato's eyes, and he murmured, "Uchiha... Madara."

"The First Hokage's soul has been sealed by the Shinigami, but the corpse of the Shinobi World's Asura is in our hands," Black Zetsu said. "With a White Zetsu clone as a sacrifice, Madara Uchiha's strength will be infinitely close to his former self. With the leader's strength, he can completely control Madara Uchiha's body. As long as our side produces another super-powerful fighter, we can turn the tide of battle." "Is it just Edo Tensei?"

Nagato looked at Black and White Zetsu with a half-smile and asked, "Isn't it the Samsara Rebirth Technique?"

White Zetsu's expression instantly froze.

Black Zetsu was also slightly taken aback, then revealed a strange smile and said, "There's no other way, Leader, your changes are too great. We have no choice but to resort to this last resort."

The next second, Nagato's expression stiffened slightly.

Then, looking at Black Zetsu who had detached from White Zetsu's body, he said calmly, "Does Tobi also have such an ability?"

“Afei is a simple child. His mission is only to prevent you, leader, from destroying the Rinnegan.”

Black Zetsu, who attacked Nagato from behind by penetrating the ground, successfully possessed Nagato's body. While controlling Nagato to raise his hands and form hand seals, he exclaimed, "We originally only wanted to help you recover to your prime, so that you would have the strength to resist Otsutsuki Toneri. We never expected you to be this outstanding. It's as if you've become a completely different person. As expected of... Lord Madara's carefully selected genius, awakening the bloodlines of both the Uzumaki and Senju clans, the most suitable candidate for transplanting the Rinnegan!"

Seeing the White Zetsu clone, Black Zetsu, and Nagato's wood clone emerge from the ground, they shouted in unison, "Ninja Art... Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"

As the tadpole-shaped incantations spread out, screams suddenly rang out.

Before long, an astonishing burst of chakra appeared in the darkness of the underground base.

A powerful voice, tinged with a hint of appreciation, rang out.

"The day has finally come. Nagato has finally grown up."

Looking at the man before them, dressed in a black, tight-fitting combat suit with red layered armor, long black hair, and covered in cracks, both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu smiled and said, "Lord Madara, welcome back!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, and Nagato... Hmm?"

Madara Uchiha was just about to praise the hero of the plan when, as if sensing something, he looked down at his hands that were emitting white light, frowned slightly, and said, "No sensation, and this feeling of collapse, is this Impure World Reincarnation, not the Samsara Rebirth Technique?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Madara, the plan encountered an unexpected problem, and this is the only way to revive you," Black Zetsu said apologetically.

Madara Uchiha didn't speak, but quickly formed hand seals and then squatted down to slap the ground.

The next second, the white light that enveloped his entire body disappeared, and Nagato's true form instantly lost control of Uchiha Madara.

"what happened?"

Madara Uchiha, having regained control of the Impure World Reincarnation, asked Black Zetsu a question.

Black Zetsu didn't speak, but instead detached from Nagato's clone and attached himself to Uchiha Madara.

In an instant, a flood of images and information poured into Madara Uchiha's mind.

"Visitor from the moon, Otsutsuki Toneri, Tenseigan, retrieving the Gedo Mazo, Izayoi..."

Madara Uchiha quickly processed this information, and a smile of interest appeared on his face as he said, "Interesting. The ninja world actually has such a secret hidden. No wonder you resurrected me in this way. You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

"This era is even more exciting than the era of you, Lord Madara, and Hashirama Senju," White Zetsu quipped.

"Humph, still a long way off."

Madara Uchiha immediately crossed his arms and sneered, "Although it is indeed remarkable that they possess this level of strength at such a young age, their Wood Release and eye power are still some distance away from Hasi Hot Mom and me."

Whether it's a meteor shower, a celestial obstruction, or the art of wooden figures, none of them are particularly remarkable.

Compared to Hashirama Senju's Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha, the Wooden Arhat is merely an ornament on the head of the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue.

Similarly, once you are fully resurrected and regain the Rinnegan, you will gain absolute control of the Gedo Mazo and unlock the Rinnegan's exclusive eye technique, Limbo: Border Jail.

If the Tenseigan's only function is that, it's not worth mentioning at all.

"The Rinnegan, it really is yours."

At that moment, Nagato's voice reached his ears.

Looking at Nagato, who had regained control of his body without any resistance or panic, Madara Uchiha said with admiration, "You managed to hold out against those two brats working together. You truly are the one I chose. Revive me, Nagato. This is your mission."

"Is Obito Uchiha a pawn of yours?" Nagato asked.

“That’s right, he’s also my proxy,” Uchiha said, dotting his forehead.

"Your goal is to collect the nine tailed beasts to revive the Gedo Mazo, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and use the strongest chakra to lull everyone in the ninja world into a deep sleep?" Nagato continued to ask.

"You know this? Did Obito tell you?" Madara Uchiha was slightly surprised, then nodded without any concealment and said, "That's right. My goal is the same as yours, to achieve peace. However, unlike your use of force to intimidate, I want to sever the cause and effect in the world and achieve eternal peace."

"Don't you know that this will lead to the extinction of humanity?" Nagato said the same words he had once said to Obito Uchiha.

"Human beings will not become extinct."

Madara Uchiha laughed, "Once I become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, I will be the second Sage of Six Paths, possessing power that no one can resist. I will let most of humanity immerse themselves in beautiful dreams, release a small portion of humanity to reproduce, and then let them enter beautiful dreams again, and so on."

"And what if you die?" Nagato asked again.

"I won't die."

Madara Uchiha spread his arms wide and smiled confidently, saying, "Just like now, I am standing in front of you."

Nagato remained silent.

After a long silence, he slowly said, "Don't you think this is a form of escapism?"

"Yes, it's a form of escapism."

Unlike Obito Uchiha's breach of defense, Madara Uchiha agreed with Nagato's statement, his eyes filled with vicissitudes as he said, "However, in this world where war is endless, the average lifespan of the people is extremely low, and humanity is filled with darkness, it is like a hell, and countless people want to become this escapee."

“They need a savior, and I… am their savior!”

“But you are depriving other people of their happiness!” Nagato retorted.

"There are always victims in war, and the Eye of the Moon plan is no exception." Madara Uchiha said with a firm gaze, "I only deprived a small number of people of their real happiness, but I immersed everyone in the ninja world in eternal happiness. Eliminating peace will inevitably lead to war, severing success will inevitably lead to failure, and health will inevitably lead to disease, and so on... Do you think it's worth it?"

Looking at Madara Uchiha, who was completely genuine and as pure as Yahiko and himself, Nagato was speechless and could only sigh, "This is not the peace that Yahiko and I wanted."

“That’s what I admire about you, Nagato,” Madara Uchiha chuckled. “Your method of achieving peace is very similar to Hashirama’s; no wonder you’re a descendant of the Uzumaki and Senju clans. But the current ninja world is the result of your and Hashirama’s approach. In that case, why don’t you join me in creating a different kind of peace?”

“I promise you that if this peace cannot be achieved, I will release all of humanity.”

Madara Uchiha extended his palm to Nagato, inviting him, "Come with me and sever the causality of this world, Nagato."

Nagato's eyes trembled slightly, but quickly hardened again. He shook his head and said, "I still believe this is not the peace that Yahiko and I want. However, I am willing to revive you and return the Rinnegan to you, as an observer to witness your way of making peace."

"Don't worry, the world will become a better place than it is now, it definitely will," Madara Uchiha said firmly.

Black Zetsu, who had already separated from Madara Uchiha, stood silently to the side, constantly recalling the hardships of the past thousand years, which kept him from laughing out loud.
