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

Chapter 203 Yagyu Reveals His Rinnegan, Shocking the Entire Audience

"A heart-wrenching scream echoed loudly and piercingly in the white light that engulfed the world after the explosion."

After the lights faded, a black sphere appeared in the air.

Beside it stood a handsome nobleman dressed in a white robe, with flowing silver hair, and holding a black longsword.

Looking at the black sphere in front of him, Liu Sheng couldn't help but sneer and mock, "You're pretty quick at retracting into your shell, aren't you? No wonder you've been a coward for decades."

The black sphere was not angered by Yagyu's words; instead, it flew backward, quickly creating distance between itself and Yagyu.

Inside the sphere, Obito Uchiha clutched his severed right arm, exclaiming incredulously, "Sharingan! How could he possess the Sharingan?!"

When Yagyu used the Truth-Seeking Balls to transform into a black sphere and envelop himself, Obito Uchiha clearly saw that Yagyu's eyes were no longer ordinary red eyes, but rather scarlet blood eyes with a black lotus flower in the pupil.

Obito Uchiha was very familiar with these eyes; they were clearly the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

Why would someone from the Senju clan possess the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan?

Obito Uchiha subconsciously suspected that Yagyu had transplanted the Sharingan, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

As the former most powerful clan in the ninja world, the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan was even more sought after than the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan on the black market. However, the value of the Sharingan was soon overshadowed by the Byakugan of the main branch of the Hyuga clan.

Because the entire ninja world now knows that once the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is transplanted, it cannot be turned off, and the Sharingan will continuously consume chakra.

Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja of Konoha, is the best example.

In contrast, the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is different. Even if it is transplanted by an outsider, it can be turned off and on again. Ao from Kirigakure is the best example of this.

Before, Yagyu's eyes were those of a normal person, except that his pupils were naturally red.

But now, his eyes have turned into the Mangekyou Sharingan, which means that he has the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan inside him.

"Could he be a half-Uchiha and half-Senju? Or was his ancestor a half-Senju and half-Uchiha, and then the bloodline limits of both great ninja clans awakened in him in a generation after his death?"

Obito Uchiha subconsciously thought so, then maliciously speculated: "Or perhaps, he also practiced the Demon Sprout Technique,

Did they secretly devour members of the Uchiha clan? Or did they devour the Hundred Faces when they dealt with them, directly obtaining the Mangekyou Sharingan?!

After saying that, Obito Uchiha seemed to sense something, and his attention finally shifted back to his severed arm. His eyes widened and he exclaimed, "How is this possible? Why can't my arm grow back?!"

All that could be seen was Obito Uchiha's severed right arm, the wound of which was writhing, just like Deidara's exploding clay.

Even though Obito Uchiha, who possessed an immortal body, lost an arm, he didn't bleed a drop of blood.

In the past, those wriggling chunks of flesh on this arm would have grown back and formed a new arm long ago.

But so far, the severed arm has not grown back.

Even when Obito Uchiha used the more advanced Yin-Yang Release that came with the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he was unable to create a new arm. This discovery terrified Obito Uchiha.

At the same time, it also reminded him of crucial information.

No wonder I felt such intense pain just now; it turns out that Yagyu's sword strike was no ordinary attack.

"Is it his Mangekyou Sharingan? What kind of ability is it, and why can it counter my immortality?" Obito Uchiha asked incredulously. "Or is it the power of the Truth-Seeking Balls?"

Obito Uchiha couldn't understand it, after all, his narrative level was too low, and what the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki possessed was completely inferior to that of the true owner of the Rinnegan.

If he could see through his own body, he would discover that a small part of his soul is missing.

That small part of his soul was his right arm.

What severed his right arm was not only the Truth-Seeking Ball, which contains the power to annihilate everything, including the soul, but also Yagyu's Mangekyou Sharingan exclusive eye technique, Yomijin.

While the Truth-Seeking Balls are powerful, they are like Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformation Buddha – only suitable for using them to attack opponents in a lower dimension.

When facing an opponent of the same level, unless it is an unstoppable expansion of the Truth-Seeking Ball, ordinary Truth-Seeking Balls are actually very difficult to harm a Six Paths level expert, let alone annihilate the soul of a Six Paths level expert.

But the combination of Dao Jade and Yellow Spring Feast is different.

The Seeking Truth Jewel, possessing the power to destroy all things in the universe, can transform into weapons that are themselves the sharpest divine weapons in the world.

This weapon is so powerful that even the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki would have his defenses broken if he were hit by it.

Although its annihilation property would be much less effective against strong opponents of the same level, the enchantment of Yomotsu caused the Soul Annihilation attribute of the Truth-Seeking Jade Sword to surge.

Moreover, unlike the Truth-Seeking Ball, which is powerful and also has the ability to annihilate souls, the Underworld Essence is a soul-specific eye technique, much like the Reaper Death Seal, which maximizes its ability to suppress souls.

A severed soul will instantly vanish into the world, and even the strongest person cannot restore it.

If a living person were to be struck by this blow, they would either die or their wounds would never heal.

Obito Uchiha was able to recover, which was already a benefit of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's immortality.

It's impossible to restore it to its original state.

After all, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's immortality has its limits, and it also has several weaknesses.

The fact that the soul has been severed and the limbs that have lost their soul cannot be restored is only one aspect.

If you keep getting injured, healing will also consume chakra.

While the chakra of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is as vast as the sea, it is ultimately not truly infinite.

Once the chakra drops to a certain level, the Ten-Tails' will will break free from its restraints and reclaim control of the body from the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki.

If the damage endured exceeds the limit, the nine tailed beasts within the Ten-Tails, which already possess independent consciousness, will break free from their cage, causing the Ten-Tails to revert to the Gedo Mazo and emerge from the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's body, just as the tailed beasts broke free from Kaguya Otsutsuki's body after she was sealed away.

Of course, Obito Uchiha had no idea about any of this.

Seeing his immortality fail, he was instantly filled with fear, and his apprehension towards Yagyu suddenly surpassed that of Uchiha Madara.

Previously, with Kamui Intangibility, Obito Uchiha was not afraid of anything. Even against genjutsu masters like Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, Obito would only feel slightly wary.

However, as long as he hides in the Kamui dimension, even Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami cannot digest Uchiha Obito.

Because they are not in the same space, even the strongest illusion techniques require Yin Release chakra to invade their bodies.

Now, his own Divine Might Intangibility is unusable, and the enemy possesses a means to counter his immortality, which is terrifying.

After all, even Madara Uchiha's strange and unique eye technique could not restrain Obito Uchiha's immortality.

With this in mind, Obito Uchiha decided to hide inside the Truth-Seeking Balls to sense how much of the Ten-Tails' inherent power remained within him and whether there was a way to counter Yagyu.

However, Obito Uchiha was unaware that his dependence on the Truth-Seeking Balls remained.

If the enemy cannot break through the Truth-Seeking Ball's defense, that's fine. But if they possess the power to break through the Truth-Seeking Ball, then they will simply become another target.

"How is that possible? Isn't he a descendant of Hasi Hot Mom? Why would he have the Mangekyou Sharingan?!"

Meanwhile, outside, Madara Uchiha was also shocked by Yagyu's Mangekyou Sharingan.

Just like Obito Uchiha, he subconsciously thought that Yagyu's Mangekyou Sharingan was transplanted from a member of the Uchiha clan.

After all, he has been dead for decades, and no one knows if any geniuses have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan in the Uchiha clan over the years.

But Madara Uchiha quickly realized something was wrong because Yagyu's eyes clearly didn't show the Mangekyou Sharingan.

In other words, it was just started.

The Sharingan, which can be freely turned on and off, is something that only those with the Uchiha clan bloodline can do.

"Could it be that he is a half-Senju and half-Uchiha?"

Madara Uchiha first had this thought, and then an even more insane idea arose: "Or is he an experimental subject created by Tobirama Senju using Hasi's genes and the genes of the Uchiha clan?"

It's no wonder that Madara Uchiha would have such thoughts, after all, Yagyu looks too much like Tobirama Senju.

With silver hair, red eyes, Wood Release, and the Mangekyou Sharingan, isn't this a combination of Tobirama Senju, Hashirama Senju, and himself?

However, Madara Uchiha's narrative level is too low; at most, he could only think of these things.

Only Black Zetsu, watching from afar, gritted his teeth and said, "This brat really is a backup plan left by Hagoromo! Not only is he the reincarnation of Ashura, but he even has Indra's chakra. No wonder his growth is so astonishing."

"wrong..."

Suddenly, Black Zetsu seemed to realize something, his expression faltering slightly before he exclaimed in astonishment, "Even if he's the reincarnation of Ashura and possesses Indra's chakra, he couldn't possibly achieve the unification of the two at this age. Could it be that the chakra within him isn't Ashura's, nor Indra's, but rather—Hagoromo's chakra?!"

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu trembled with fear.

The more I thought about it, the more sense it made. In fact, only this answer could explain why Yagyu entered the Six Paths Sage Mode at the age of sixteen, just like Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and was also able to use Truth-Seeking Balls and possess the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After all, over the course of a thousand years, Black Zetsu has orchestrated countless fateful battles between the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra.

Even Indra, the Otsutsuki, was misled by him into engaging in the ultimate battle with Ashura, the Otsutsuki.

Madara Uchiha's work, on the other hand, is his only successful masterpiece in a thousand years.

As Madara Uchiha began to distinguish himself and gradually became the most outstanding member of the Uchiha clan, Black Zetsu had already set his sights on him.

He concluded that the most outstanding male member of each generation of the Uchiha clan must be the reincarnation of Indra.

The same applies to the Senju clan.

As the one who personally guided Madara Uchiha to discover the secret of the stone tablet and then orchestrated the battle at the Valley of the End, Black Zetsu thought that Madara Uchiha had also failed and was preparing for the next fateful battle.

Unexpectedly, Madara Uchiha was so determined that he successfully awakened the Rinnegan just before he was about to die of old age.

No one knew better than Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha how difficult it was to create the second pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world.

That's why Black Zetsu suspected Yagyu's identity.

If Yagyu has already developed the Sage Body to its fullest potential, then even if he obtains Indra's chakra, he would at most be a copy of Madara Uchiha, and it would be impossible for him to reach this level at this age.

Even if he obtained a great deal of Indra's chakra, he still couldn't achieve this level.

After Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan, he only obtained Hashirama Senju's Wood Release and was unable to activate the Sage Mode of Six Paths. His mastery of Yin-Yang Release was also very average, and there was no record of how to condense Truth-Seeking Balls.

But Yagyu accomplished all of this, as if it were innate, requiring no training whatsoever, as if it were second nature.

It was as if he had possessed these abilities long ago.

This makes it hard for Black Zetsu not to suspect that the chakra within Yagyu's body is not Ashura and Indra at all, but rather—the chakra of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

This is the Sage of Six Paths' true trump card!

He was worried about his mother's resurrection, so he kept his chakra in silent rebirth. When he discovered that the Gedo Mazo had disappeared from the moon, or when the second pair of Rinnegan was born, his backup plan would be triggered, and Yagyu was born!

The mother's strength was deeply ingrained; that rebellious son believed in himself more than his two sons!

Black Zetsu thought about it more and more and felt that this was the truth, and at the same time, a bold idea came to him.

He gazed at Yagyu, who floated in the air, a playful smile on his face as he looked at the black sphere, and murmured, "If he truly is the reincarnation of Hagoromo's chakra, then his eyes are not only the Mangekyou Sharingan, but very likely—"

As if hearing Black Zetsu's words, Yagyu's subsequent actions confirmed Black Zetsu's guess.

Yagyu gazed at the black sphere floating in front of him, which had not retreated to create distance, a playful smile on his face. Suddenly, purple ripples appeared on his Mangekyou Sharingan, which resembled a black lotus flower.

These purple ripples not only covered the pupils but also affected the whites of the eyes.

"This is... the Rinnegan?!"

Madara Uchiha below widened his eyes once again.

For the first time, the mighty Asura of the ninja world felt his worldview shattered.

"Outer Maru!"

Having awakened the Rinnegan, Yagyu raised his hand and condensed a small black hole in his palm, releasing a gravitational force similar to that of the Universal Pull.

However, this gravitational force is a level higher than the Universal Gravitation.

Even the black sphere formed from nine Truth-Seeking Balls flew towards Yagyu instantly, then turned into black liquid and was completely swallowed up by the black hole in Yagyu's palm.
