Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha.

Chapter 160 Hard work is no match for "going mad".

In late May of Konoha Year 51, Obito Uchiha, who had quietly returned to Kirigakure from the Land of Fire, began to frantically absorb the accumulated resources of the Kirigakure ninja.

As one of the five great ninja villages, Kirigakure naturally has its own unique heritage, and various secrets of the ninja world are recorded, which is the foundation of Kirigakure.

In the past, Obito disdained this knowledge; the scrolls were full of words, which made his head spin. But after his trip to Konoha, the boy began to actively absorb the recorded knowledge.

As usual, the Mizukage building in the center of the village was still shrouded in mist, and the Fourth Mizukage had turned back into a wooden stake, sitting foolishly in his seat.

Obito didn't swell up enough to force the Mizukage out of the room; at this moment, he was quickly flipping through his books in his own private space.

For nearly a month, Obito had been unable to find any information about resurrection ninjutsu in the various forbidden jutsu records. After fully regaining his composure, his confusion only grew: "Apart from the Rinne Rebirth technique, there is no jutsu related to resurrection."

Even with the reincarnation technique in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, I don't know if the resurrected person will still be the same person as before.

"Rin and Kakashi have most likely become different people; someone is manipulating their lives."

With Kirigakure as his backing and undisturbed, Obito repeatedly confirmed his findings and finally reached his own conclusion: "Rin is no longer the girl he remembers. The Rin living in Konoha now is just an imposter with the same appearance."

Even if a person is resurrected and regains life, if all past memories are lost, what difference is there between them and someone who is dead?

As Obito recalled the girl who called him "senpai," painful emotions began to fill his mind, and his eyes soon felt burning.

As a vortex appeared, the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, remained seated in his chair, while White Zetsu possessed Obito once more, asking in a comical tone, "Did you find any useful information?"

"We've been helping Lord Madara gather intelligence all these years, but we don't know anything about ninjutsu that can bring the dead back to life."

"The Rinnegan is a technique that relies on the power of the Rinnegan. It is not something that ordinary ninjas can master, and there is no other pair of Rinnegan in the ninja world."

"Although we want to comfort you, no matter how you look at it, there are serious problems with that girl's resurrection."

"If you want to know the truth, perhaps you should go back and talk to Kakashi. Maybe he knows something."

The Ancient White Zetsu on Obito's body was closest to him, and the two of them acted together when they came to meet Rin Nohara: "You're right, White Zetsu, we're not wrong, Rin and Kakashi are dead."

"What could Kakashi possibly know? Would he even know who resurrected him?"

"Even if he retains his memories, he will no longer be the Kakashi I remember."

"Let the imposters continue to live happily ever after; I have my own mission!"

After Obito, who had once again broken free from his "Kenji" state, said these words, he felt a pang of pain in his heart. Nohara Rin might still be alive, but the girl who had always been watching him was dead.

"If Kakashi forgets that he killed Rin with his own hands after his resurrection, it might be a good thing for him."

Obito secretly wished the "imposter" well. He didn't want Kakashi to relive that painful experience; he could bear that pain alone.

White Zetsu was somewhat disappointed that Obito still didn't want to see Kakashi. Just as he was about to encourage him again, the boy, who had grown up again, said in a deep voice, "Rin from Konoha is fake, Kakashi is fake, and that Uchiha Obito is fake too."

"I don't need to wake them up. The Eye of the Moon Project was originally designed to help everyone live a happy life."

"This causal link has been severed! I will go and fulfill my mission; Lin is still waiting for me!"

"We'll gather all the intelligence we've gathered about Kirigakure over this period, continue to refine our plan, weaken the major ninja villages, and build up Akatsuki's strength."

White Zetsu scratched Obito's head twice with his tentacles, puzzled. Last month, the boy was still "crazy," but this month he seemed to have transformed into "Lord Madara": "Is this the unique power of the Uchiha bloodline?"

"Was Lord Madara like this when he was young?"

No one could answer his question. At that moment, another White Zetsu, possessed by Black Zetsu, emerged from the ground. Carefully sensing the changes in Obito's chakra, he immediately exclaimed, "Lord Madara should be able to use an even stronger Susanoo now!"

"Once you unlock the use of weapons, no one in the ninja world will be able to restrain you."

Before Madara Uchiha went to the Pure Land, he instructed his successor on how to use Susanoo. Unfortunately, even with half a body supported by Hashirama's cells, Obito's Susanoo remained only on half of his skeleton.

Obito's eye power, a special type of chakra, cannot be improved by conventional means, but under the stimulation of pain and despair, his strength increased more in one month than it had in the previous year.

"It's just an extra layer of armor."

Obito responded calmly. His eye power allowed him to read most of the inscription on the stone tablet at the Naga Shrine, but there was still a part he couldn't decipher. He remained skeptical of Black Zetsu.

"Not only the armor, but no one can defend against Lord Madara's special shuriken!"

"Such talent is far beyond what those Uchiha clan members in Konoha, who only know how to take drugs, can compare to."

White Zetsu transformed into his mask form and exclaimed excitedly. The two had practiced together, and apart from the immense energy expenditure, their ferocious attacks that could tear through space were simply divine power.

Obito tapped his mask impatiently. Although it would definitely expose him, he didn't like revealing his information to Black Zetsu so early: "Contact Orochimaru for me. It's time to start a new collaboration."

"Since my people are still persisting in using medicine to open their eyes, it is time to contribute to our reserves."

These words were spoken in Madara Uchiha's tone, indicating that Obito had fully regained his composure. Black Zetsu was somewhat disappointed, but for him, as long as the plan was carried out firmly, that was enough: "Yes, Lord Madara!"

A vortex appeared in the air, and Obito vanished instantly. Compared to the past, his intangibility speed had increased significantly; this was the power that pain had given him.

"The fake Rin is with Kakashi, but I will protect the real Rin."

Back in his own space, Obito murmured to himself, "This is the best outcome. They all have their own Rin, and they can all live happily ever after."

When they arrived at Amegakure, it was almost June, and Obito's height had increased by 2 centimeters in those two months. After being possessed by White Zetsu, he was close to 180 cm tall.

No longer needing to deliberately alter his physique as before, Obito appeared much more composed when he met Konan and Nagato again.

"What's going on with your chakra?"

Nagato looked at Obito near the railing and asked in a low voice. Unlike before, Obito felt much colder, and his chakra aura was like that of a completely different person.

"I said long ago that my body was severely damaged because of the battle with Hashirama Senju."

"This period of time has merely allowed me to rediscover a portion of my past strength."

"Don't forget that I taught you the Six Paths Techniques; that power was originally something I possessed."

Obito slowly walked to the center of the room. When he touched the trap near the balcony, he instantly became intangible, and the trap was not triggered.

Konan was also trying to sense that there were sutras she had arranged on the floor of the room, but just a moment ago, Obito seemed to be outside this world.

Seeing the wary looks on the two men, Obito was very satisfied. The special chakra in his brain merged further with his body. Although he had experienced pain, he had also gained greater strength: "I have determined the approximate production time of the Jinchuriki. When the time comes, we just need to find the production site to carry out the plan."

"Nagato, I will first take your puppet to break through Konoha's barrier, while your main body can move freely outside the village."

"If everything goes smoothly after the Nine-Tails is released from its seal, we can make Konoha lose its tailed beast, thereby causing chaos."

"Three months to make final preparations. If you need my help, have White Zetsu notify me."

When Nagato heard that Obito had given him permission to move freely, he frowned slightly. Although Obito had not given any explicit instructions, he could tell that Obito wanted his physical body to provide support.

Carefully sensing Obito's chakra aura and recalling his previous words, Nagato couldn't help but believe a small part of it: Madara Uchiha's strength had indeed increased.

"Xiao Nan, you've done a great job lately!"

"The Akatsuki needs to accumulate funds. When we are ready, we will strive to capture and seal the Tailed Beasts within three months."

"Before that, we have been weakening the ninja villages of the five great nations. Once the plan is completed, we will be able to reshape the ninja world order."

Obito continued to paint a rosy picture in Madara Uchiha's tone, but Konan frowned and subconsciously asked, "All done in three months?"

"Yes, don't underestimate the ninja power of the five great nations. Completing missions secretly and quickly is what we should do."

"Before the real plan begins, all that's needed is to accumulate enough strength."

Upon hearing this explanation, Nagato immediately looked at Obito, a look of doubt on his face: "Why don't you go and capture these tailed beasts yourself? You're capable of doing it!"

"Of course, I could even finish all of this within a month, but would you entrust the task of sealing the Gedo Mazo to me?"

Obito stared at Nagato with his scarlet eyes. The latter realized that Obito had seen through his thoughts, so he calmly and frankly admitted, "It seems you know I suspect you."

"You will eventually end up on the same path as me, don't let me down."

As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex appeared again, and Obito disappeared.

Konan noticed that the speed at which the other party disappeared had increased again, and immediately showed a worried expression. This kind of technique was simply unsolvable. Even if one was prepared, one could still be absorbed by Madara in the first moment.

"This is too dangerous; his strength seems to be increasing."

"If this continues, perhaps one day he will be able to control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

Konan looked at Nagato with a worried expression. The Gedo Mazo was their last trump card. If they lost this barrier, Madara Uchiha would most likely kill them and take their eyes.

"It doesn't matter. If he really does control the Gedo Mazo, Konan, you can destroy my eyes!"

"Without these Rinnegan, he cannot achieve his goal."

Nagato pointed to his eyes and whispered a warning, but Konan turned her head away without responding.

Amegakure has just gotten on the right track, and it will take a long time to achieve Yahiko's dream. In order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the two can only prepare for the worst.

Furukawa Osamu's spirit silently assessed Obito's speed. Obito's body had clearly undergone a baptism of special chakra, and the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan was still increasing.

"Leave these matters to me. I've already taken control of the ninjas in the Land of Rivers."

"Xiao Nan, we're counting on you now. With more resources, the Land of Rain will definitely get better and better."

After Nagato finished speaking, he showed a longing expression. This was the dream of Yahiko and many of his companions: that the people of the Land of Rain would no longer have to suffer from war, and that everyone could have enough to eat and live a peaceful life.

The girl had just been worrying about Madara Uchiha's strength, but upon hearing her friend talk about the mission's progress, she somehow immediately put her previous thoughts aside: "The next step is to control the daimyo. Let them bear the cost of building the port."

"Our market still needs time to stabilize, but we can first open up a trade channel with the tea-producing country."

Konan entered a special state again. Whenever she tried to think hard, she would have a constant stream of inspiration, and the chakra in her body would flow accordingly.

Nagato nodded with satisfaction. As long as everyone's dreams could be realized, cooperating with a schemer like Madara was no big deal.

After receiving further information about Obito, Furukawa Osamu basically confirmed that Obito's strength had entered another stage.

He had a deep understanding of how the special chakra in the brain could affect the body, and Indra's chakra improved "quality".

In the Shikkotsu Forest, a giant slug spewed acid beside the deep purple half-giant. Seeing the dissolved parts quickly repaired, it exclaimed joyfully, "Lord Xiu, even Sage Chakra acid would have a hard time breaking through such a defense!"

"After the power of the two is combined, it can resist the power of Sage Mode, and its defensive strength is better than that of Madara Uchiha's Susanoo back then."

Furukawa Osamu did not respond, but continued to increase the output of his eye power. The Sage Chakra in the Hundred Healings Seal was converted accordingly, and soon the half-giant grew legs and slowly stood up.

The giant slug wrapped its body around the giant and continued to spew acid. This time, Furukawa Osamu felt his pupil power rapidly depleting. The crude giant eventually turned into a skeleton and slowly disappeared.

"I still can't sense any special weapons, but I can conjure them using Sage Chakra."

"It seems the power of Sage Arts can be further enhanced, Live Slug, can you feel it?"

Standing atop the giant slug's head, Furukawa Osamu spoke softly. The slug quickly split off a small body, which wriggled onto his shoulder and suggested, "Lord Osamu, you can use this power to cover my body and let Susanoo replace the meridian system."

"In this way, Master Shu's vast Sage Chakra can resonate with my body, completely freeing me from the limitations of my current physical form."

The Sharingan's power freed Furukawa from the limitations of chakra points, and if the Susanoo he constructed could reshape the meridian system, the limitations of the human body's frailty would completely disappear.

"I don't have any more eye power, so this is all I can do for now. I'll probably have to trouble you again."

"However, there shouldn't be any opponent who can make me use this power."

Furukawa Osamu felt something was off using the slug's body. As if sensing his thoughts, a soft, sweet voice followed: "Osamu-sama, please use my body as you please!"
