Become a god by AFK starting from Naruto

These words stirred something within her, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope.

However, this faint hope was soon shattered by harsh reality.

"Slap!" A crisp slap rang out as the leader of the rogue ninjas struck the head of the rogue ninja who had just spoken.

"You're the boss, I'm the boss, and you're making decisions for me before I've even said anything?!"

The leader of the ninja clan glared at them, his face fierce.

The beaten ninja covered his head and glared angrily at his boss, but ultimately dared not retaliate.

This powerless rage emboldened the leader of the ninja clan. He took a few steps forward and kicked the ninja.

His foot slammed down on the rogue ninja like a hammer.

Every kick was delivered with full force, as if venting all his dissatisfaction and anger on this poor ninja.

The man, writhing in pain, curled up on the ground, but still clenched his teeth and made no sound.

The surrounding ninjas all lowered their heads silently upon seeing this, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.

They knew their boss's temper well and knew that in this situation, the best option was to remain silent.

Looking at all this, she felt a mix of emotions.

On the one hand, she felt worried and guilty for the roguish man who spoke up for her.

On the other hand, she also knew perfectly well that this was a golden opportunity for her to escape.

While everyone's attention was focused on the thug who had been beaten, she quietly retreated, trying to leave the encirclement unnoticed.

Her movements were slow and careful, trying not to make any noise.

However, her luck didn't seem to be good.

Just as she was about to successfully escape, a sharp-eyed ninja spotted her movements.

"She's going to run away!" the rogue ninja shouted.

All the ninjas immediately came to their senses and rushed towards her.

Her heart tightened; she knew she had no way out and could only fight back.

She quickly mobilized her chakra to prepare for the impending attack.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly blocked her way.

It was that ninja who had just been beaten. He struggled to his feet and blocked her path with his body.

"Run!" he shouted at her. "I'll hold them off!"

She was stunned, never expecting that this ninja who had previously tried to rob her would step forward to protect her at this moment.

"Stop dawdling, let's go!" the rogue ninja urged.

She gritted her teeth, turned and ran into the depths of the woods.

She knew this was her only chance, and she couldn't let down the sacrifice of that ruthless man.

She heard sounds of fighting and roars behind her, but she dared not turn around, afraid that she would lose control and use her chakra.

However, as the distance between them grew, her heart grew heavier and heavier.

Those who had helped her were leaving her one by one, and the images of their deaths flashed before her eyes.

She couldn't bear the thought of anyone else dying because of her.

Her heart was filled with struggle and pain.

This time, her enemies were just a few rogue ninjas. Had she already lost the courage to face them?

No, she can't go on like this!

With these thoughts in mind, she resolutely turned around and rushed towards the direction of those thugs.

However, fate always plays tricks on people.

By the time she arrived at the scene, it was already too late.

The ninja who had protected her lay quietly on the ground, no longer breathing.

When the leader of the ninja clan saw her return, a mocking smile appeared on his face:

"Kid, what are you doing back here? Did you come to see how this idiot dies?!"

His words were full of sarcasm and disdain. Those around him joined in with harsh laughter.

She stared wide-eyed at the arrogant leader of the ninja clan, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug deep into her flesh.

That person's leniency might have been a sudden pang of conscience, or it could be for some other reason.

But no matter what, he was the one who helped her.

And now, as if it were predetermined, everyone who has helped her will eventually die a violent death.

Anger, sadness, guilt, and helplessness surged within her, but ultimately transformed into a powerful killing intent.

"Shinra Tenzheng!!!"

She roared, and her chakra exploded instantly.

The surrounding air seemed to ignite in that instant, forming a huge air wave that spread outwards.

With a deafening roar, everything—from the ninja to the surrounding trees and rocks—was shattered by the impact.

The powerful shockwave ripped up layers of dust and gravel from the ground, creating a huge crater.

The laughter around them stopped abruptly with this blow, replaced by a deathly silence.

She looked at everything, panting, the Rinnegan slowly rotating in her eyes.

As she unleashed that earth-shattering Shinra Tensei, somewhere far away in the Land of Iron, Otsutsuki Isshiki suddenly looked up.

His gaze seemed to pierce through the barriers of space and time, fixing directly on her.

A hint of interest appeared on his face as he said softly:

"Oh~ Is the little white rabbit ready to face me again?"

Not far from him, Madara Uchiha looked at him with a heavy expression.

This strange man suddenly appeared at his hiding place not long ago, as if he knew his whereabouts.

After a brief exchange, Madara Uchiha realized that he was no match for this mysterious and strange man.

The anger and resentment in his heart surged like a tidal wave, and he couldn't help but recall how he felt when facing Xingliu six years ago.

'Damn it, if only I could awaken the Rinnegan!'

He thought to himself silently, while already figuring out how to escape the strange man's pursuit.

Unfortunately, the next second, he was knocked away by Otsutsuki Isshiki and passed through a black and red circular portal.

"I'd better hurry over there, or the little white rabbit will escape!"

Chapter 144 Uchiha Madara was never weaker than anyone else in his life.

Although the attack did not directly harm Madara Uchiha, its powerful impact forced him to pass through the portal and appear in an unfamiliar environment.

He quickly adjusted his posture, stood firmly on the ground, and scanned his surroundings warily, trying to assess his current situation.

Just then, a joyful shout reached his ears: "Mr. Ban!"

He looked in the direction of the sound, and the sight before him stunned him instantly.

A little girl who looked to be only ten years old was running towards him, and she had a pair of Rinnegan eyes!

This discovery deeply shocked Madara Uchiha.

The Rinnegan was the power that Madara Uchiha had always dreamed of, but given his abilities, it would take him some time to unlock it.

However, it is simply unbelievable that such eyes could appear on such a young girl.

While he was still in a daze, the little girl had already run up to him.

She looked at him with excitement, as if she were seeing a long-lost relative.

However, Madara Uchiha subconsciously took a few steps back, keeping a certain distance from her.

His gaze was filled with wariness and doubt as he questioned, "Who are you? Why do you have the Rinnegan in your eyes?"

Seeing Madara Uchiha's reaction, the little girl's face showed disappointment.

She lowered her head, her eyes gradually reddening.

She thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile, "That's true, the Madara of this timeline doesn't know me. The Madara I knew has already died at Isshiki's hands."

Madara Uchiha coldly watched her sad and upset appearance, but his heart remained unmoved.

As a demon who lived through the Warring States period, he witnessed too many life-and-death separations and brutal killings on the battlefield.

In his eyes, teenagers were no longer innocent beings, but rather qualified killing tools.

What's more, the little girl in front of them also possesses the extraordinary power of the Rinnegan.

This power was enough to inspire awe and made Madara Uchiha even more vigilant.

He was well aware of the power and danger of the Rinnegan, so he could not afford to be careless with this little girl who possessed such power.

However, despite his wariness, Madara Uchiha's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

Is there any connection between the strange person who suddenly appeared and the little girl with the Rinnegan in front of me?

Just then, a flippant voice suddenly appeared in the air like a ghost:

"Oh dear, did I interrupt your get-together?"

As the voice faded, Otsutsuki Isshiki slowly emerged from the portal, a playful smile on his face, as if he were enjoying a wonderful show.

The appearance of Otsutsuki Isshiki instantly put Madara Uchiha on edge.

At the same time, the little girl also showed a look of great alarm when she saw Isshiki Otsutsuki.

Her eyes shone with a determined light, as if telling herself that she could not back down.

But her body trembled slightly, clearly trying to suppress her inner fear and unease.

Madara Uchiha keenly noticed the little girl's reaction and realized that she indeed knew this strange man.
