I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 184 Hot Mom Hasi, Shocking Madara Uchiha

"Heh heh—Nagato was indeed your pawn. It seems I thought so too; the Rinnegan has the ability to revive others."

Upon hearing Madara Uchiha's first words upon his arrival, an unknown, powerful undead whose consciousness had been taken over by Orochimaru...

He couldn't help but let out a unique laugh.

"Who are you?"

The dark figure in the dust simply waved his hand, and a gust of wind dispersed the thick dust, revealing Uchiha Madara, who was wearing red armor, had long black hair, and was covered in cracks. He was clearly an ancient person.

Looking at the undead powerhouse covered in cracks, whose appearance he didn't recognize at all, Madara Uchiha frowned slightly and said, "The Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu... This tone doesn't sound like that good-for-nothing Tobirama—hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, Madara Uchiha seemed to sense something and looked down at his hands, which were covered in black gloves. He clenched them slightly, but there was no sense of revival.

His brows furrowed even more deeply, and he muttered to himself, "It's not the Reincarnation Technique; it seems the plan has encountered an unexpected problem."

"My name is Orochimaru. I am the one who transformed your corpse into its current state, and I am also the user of the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Orochimaru first introduced himself, then smiled knowingly: "The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is truly an incredibly miraculous bloodline limit. From one tomoe to three tomoe, from three tomoe to Mangekyou Sharingan, and from Mangekyou Sharingan to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan—I thought that was the ultimate, but I never expected that in addition to the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, it could evolve again. The combination of Senju and Uchiha, the true owner of the Rinnegan."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally looked Orochimaru in the eye.

A few seconds later, he suddenly realized and said, "I remember now, you are the disciple of that monkey from the Sarutobi clan, and the grand-disciple of that good-for-nothing Tobirama."

"Heh, this is truly remarkable intelligence."

Orochimaru laughed, "In the battle at the Valley of the End, you really didn't die. No, you should say you really died, but you turned the tide. You must be Izanagi from the Uchiha clan."

"If I'm not mistaken, it was in that battle that you obtained the power of the First Hokage, allowing your bloodline to revert to its ancestral state and evolve the Rinnegan!"

Orochimaru's tone was so certain in his last sentence.

"I didn't expect you to know so much, you little rascal."

Madara Uchiha sneered, "It's a pity you're too weak. If you were telling me this in your true form, I would think more highly of you."

"I'm really not good enough to participate, so I just want to be a spectator."

Orochimaru was not enraged. Instead, he turned to look in the direction of the Ten-Tails and smiled, "Now that the stage has been set for you, please, the protagonist, reveal the truth of the world to me."

"You're quite self-aware, so let's watch it carefully."

Madara Uchiha finally showed his appreciation, no longer afraid or caring what schemes Orochimaru was hiding.

In his eyes, all schemers were nothing more than rats who lacked real strength and could only hide in the sewers and pull small tricks.

No matter what tricks these rats might pull, they are all insignificant in the face of absolute power.

Madara Uchiha was a being with absolute power.

As for Orochimaru, this frog, wanting to climb out of Namielle and see the real world as payment for his resurrection, Madara Uchiha wouldn't mind granting him this small wish.

Madara Uchiha then turned his gaze toward the direction where the dust and mist had dissipated.

The next second, his eyes widened slightly, and his face showed excitement.

It wasn't because I saw the Ten-Tails wagging its tail under the night sky, creating earth-shattering tremors, but rather—"

"Hot Mom in Hashi!!!"

Madara Uchiha couldn't help but excitedly call out the name of his nemesis.

His gaze was fixed on the Thousand-Hand Guanyin, who, under the moonlight, appeared like a deity descending to earth in the night sky.

No one is more familiar with this Thousand-Armed Guanyin than Madara Uchiha.

When Madara Uchiha first saw this Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, his feelings were just like when he first saw the ninja using Sage Art: Wood Release - True Several Thousand Hands. He was incredibly shocked, incredibly humbled, and ultimately completely convinced of Hashirama Senju's power.

Madara Uchiha originally thought that his strength was on par with Hashirama Senju, or at most slightly inferior.

This slightly inferior technique, however, comes from Hashirama Senju's three signature moves: Wood Release: Advent of the Flowering Tree World.

Wood Release: Wood Man Technique and Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique.

The former represents the advantage of the scene, and comes with its own constraints and psychedelic elements.

The wooden golem is a dharma god on par with the complete Susanoo, while the wooden dragon technique is for absorption and sealing.

No, to be precise, both the Flower Tree World Descent and the Wood Dragon possess chakra absorption and sealing abilities, as well as a paralyzing toxin that causes weakness upon smelling even a little pollen.

It was precisely because of this three-pronged attack that even if Madara Uchiha could activate the Complete Body Susanoo, he was no match for Hashirama Senju.

After learning during his wanderings that the union of the two poles would grant him the power of the Sage of Six Paths, Madara Uchiha went so far as to capture the complete Nine-Tails in order to obtain Hashirama Senju's cells and force it to become his summoning beast.

At that moment, Madara Uchiha thought he had made up for the gap between himself and Hashirama Senju, and even felt a little embarrassed about cheating.

After all, his Nine-Tails is like an external aid, and he also has unlimited chakra.

Unexpectedly, Hashirama Senju also possessed two powerful techniques: Sage Mode and Sage Art: Wood Release - True Several Thousand Hands.

At that moment, Madara Uchiha felt like a clown.

It turns out that Hashirama Senju had already given him a lot of face. Otherwise, if he hadn't been so kind, the Uchiha clan would have been wiped out long ago, given Hashirama's all-out effort.

Moreover, even though he had already used such a Wood Release technique, Hashirama Senju did not kill him and the Nine-Tails.

Although he eventually died, Madara Uchiha did not hate Hashirama Senju.

At that time, he was indeed no match for Hashirama Senju.

However, after awakening the Rinnegan and feeling the power of its unique eye techniques, as well as its inherent Six Paths Technique and Yin-Yang Release, Madara Uchiha was confident that he could defeat Hashirama Senju without relying on the Nine-Tails or even using the Wood Release he obtained from Hashirama Senju.

Unfortunately, he was already old by then, and Hashirama Senju had been dead for many years.

Until his death, Madara Uchiha was unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish of defeating Hashirama Senju in a one-on-one fight.

This is precisely why Madara Uchiha became the biggest Hashirama fan in the original work.

Now, seeing the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara who had almost—no, to be precise—had been able to kill him and the Nine-Tails at any moment, Madara Uchiha immediately thought that Hashirama Senju had also been resurrected through Edo Tensei, or even revived. How could this not make him excited and thrilled?

In this way, he will have the opportunity to fulfill the long-cherished wish that he was unable to complete in his lifetime.

Madara Uchiha's thoughts were naturally unknown to everyone.

However, when Orochimaru heard him excitedly call out Hashirama Senju's name, he couldn't help but laugh and explain, "That statue of the Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara was not created by the First Hokage, but rather a technique performed by his descendants."

"Hashirama's descendants?!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's excitement faltered slightly, and he looked at Orochimaru with shock, saying incredulously, "Hashirama's granddaughter has also awakened Wood Release? She actually has this level of chakra?"

"She is not the granddaughter of the First Hokage either."

Orochimaru shook his head and slowly said, "When Miyake was first established, the barriers between the major ninja villages were still in place."

The class difference between ninja clans and ordinary people was also very obvious. In order to bridge this gap and make Konoha a unified family, the First Hokage voluntarily had his clansmen abandon their surnames and integrate into the common people.

"These Senju clan members who abandoned their surnames continued to marry and have children, gradually becoming ordinary citizens."

Many years later, only Tsunade remained of the Senju clan on the surface.

"Until a few years ago, an exceptionally talented commoner genius unleashed the Wood Release: Bloodline Limit, a technique that no one in Konoha had mastered since the First Hokage. Moreover, unlike the Wood Release test subjects, the power of the Wood Release he used was astonishing, and his body contained a vast amount of chakra, which was an undeniable proof of his identity."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha's pupils constricted slightly. Gazing at the Thousand-Armed Kannon under the starry sky, he said with a hint of shock, "So, this descendant of Hashirama is only about twenty years old?"

He's only sixteen years old.

Orochimaru really liked Madara Uchiha's expression.

Because at some point, his reaction was exactly the same as Madara Uchiha's.

Moreover, every time he met Yagyu, his previous understanding of him was refreshed.

From the initial powerlessness to the second, and finally to the complete lack of any thought—in just a few encounters, Yagyu shattered Orochimaru's ambitions.

If it weren't for the sudden guidance of Black and White Zetsu to find Madara Uchiha's body, and through the power of White Zetsu's clones,

By restoring Madara Uchiha's body to its prime, and finally gradually uncovering a part of the truth of the world through Hashirama's face on Madara's chest, Orochimaru didn't even intend to get involved.

Just as he said, this stage is not one he is qualified to participate in.

To be precise, with Yagyu around, no matter what schemes or ideas he might have, they would never come to fruition.

Ultimately, it is very likely that they will lose their lives.

Orochimaru, who no longer needs to reincarnate, has long since let go of his obsession with the Sharingan, just like in the original story.

But now, he wants to know the deeper truths about the world.

Is this Gedo Mazo with ten tails the prototype of the Nine Tailed Beasts?

Was the Sage of Six Paths really the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails?

"interesting-."

Orochimaru's thoughts were also unknown to anyone.

After his initial shock, Madara Uchiha's face lit up with excitement again, and he said with a slight upturn of his lips, "I never thought that besides Hashirama, his descendant would also be able to use such a technique, and at such a young age, he already possesses this level of chakra."

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Madara Uchiha had to accept reality.

This descendant of Hashirama Senju is even more outstanding than both he and Hashirama Senju.

At least when he and Hashirama Senju were sixteen years old, they hadn't even awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, let alone the complete Susanoo, nor had they inherited the positions of clan leaders of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

They all passed through their growth period after the age of twenty and began to enter their peak period, gradually becoming the protagonists of the Warring States period.

By the time of the Battle of the Valley of the End, they were all middle-aged.

That age was still the prime of life, but his abilities could no longer advance.

Once you can't break through the limits of this stage, your strength will decline instead of improve as you age past this golden age.

Therefore, Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands was undoubtedly Hashirama Senju's strongest technique during his lifetime.

Now, his descendants, at the age of sixteen, can unleash Hashirama Senju's strongest technique, which makes Madara Uchiha, who has already broken through his limits and further improved his strength, feel his fighting spirit boil.

This descendant of Hashirama Senju might be even stronger than Hashirama Senju, or even more suitable to be his opponent, given that he possesses the Rinnegan!

Thinking of this, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but ask Orochimaru, "What's that brat's name?"

"Yagyu."

Orochimaru answered immediately.

At the same time, he also saw through Madara Uchiha's thoughts and was filled with anticipation.

The reason why Hashirama Senju's title of God of Shinobi is so resounding is because of the contrast with Madara Uchiha. Madara Uchiha's terrifying strength was an existence that the shinobi world could not match. If it weren't for Hashirama Senju's restraint, the entire shinobi world would likely have become an appendage of the Uchiha clan.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

In Madara Uchiha's era, Hashirama Senju appeared, and he was the God of Shinobi whom Madara Uchiha could never defeat.

This resulted in the infamous Asura of the Ninja World becoming the runner-up for eternity.

Nobody wants to be second unless they really can't win.

There's no doubt that Madara Uchiha couldn't have won in the past, otherwise Hashirama Senju wouldn't have won the battle at the Valley of the End.

It is clear that Madara Uchiha obtained the Rinnegan after the battle at the Valley of the End, or even after Hashirama Senju's death; otherwise, Hashirama Senju would not have died in Konoha.

Orochimaru fully understood Madara Uchiha's feelings upon becoming the second Sage of Six Paths, only to discover that his once invincible opponent was dead.

Defeating a Wood Release user will undoubtedly become Madara Uchiha's obsession.

Now that a powerful figure as strong as, or even far surpassing, Hashirama Senju of the same age has appeared, Madara Uchiha will definitely be unable to resist seeking out Yagyu.

This is exactly what Orochimaru wanted to see.

This epic battle will determine the future of the ninja world—whether it will be Yagyu or Madara Uchiha who decides.

But one thing is certain: it's definitely not up to the counterfeit product to decide.

Gazing at the Ten-Tails, which seemed to be absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, roaring to the sky and releasing chakra at will, Orochimaru felt as if he could see Obito Uchiha standing on top of the Ten-Tails from a great distance, and thought to himself.

Poor guy, he had no idea how powerful Madara Uchiha was.

Orochimaru simply couldn't believe that an old man like Madara Uchiha from the Warring States period wouldn't have left behind some other contingency plan for resurrection.

Letting the pieces guide you to the corpse is just one of the moves you can make.
