Naruto Uchiha, the former God of the Space!

Chapter 69 Gene Lock Spreads, Madara Wins the Resurrection Match

Hagoromo Otsutsuki has seen too many people.

Over the millennia, the ninja world has seen its share of amazing ninjas, even catching the eye of the Sage of Six Paths, who relied on self-cultivation to obtain the Bloodline Link without consuming chakra fruits.

However, there has never been an anomaly like Uchiha Shu!

Their power exploded in a short period, they rose to prominence, shattered the old order, and harbor so many unknown secrets.

Is it good or bad?

That inferable but real thing that invaded the bodies of ninja creatures, something akin to a concept, was probably brought about by it.

When was it implanted?

Too scary!

To be honest, the Sage of Six Paths currently has two conflicting thoughts:

First, he borrowed the Yin power, or even the Yang power, of the Six Paths level, and bestowed upon the Six Paths Sage Technique, allowing Uchiha Madara, the reincarnation of the previous Indra chakra, to eliminate the anomaly.

Even if this is unlikely to reverse the situation and return the ninja world to the way he originally knew it.

Secondly, they will continue to slack off, just as they have been doing for the past thousand years.

At this moment, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who doesn't understand the gene lock system and is unable to personally enter this field due to cognitive impairment, leans towards the latter.

The reason is very simple —

The Fifth Hokage used various ruthless methods, including a brutal way of paying salaries, to genuinely shift the overall mood of Konoha Village in a positive direction.

"You only get one chance —"

The Sage of Six Paths let out a long breath, and his eyes subtly changed: "Forget it, why should the dead who created the Pure Land interfere with reality?"

"Since we choose to believe in the wisdom of future generations, and not the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan who have been draining the ninja world to plant trees, then I will resolutely not take action."

world.

The ruins of the Thunder and Earth battlefield.

"Fire Release: Great Flame Annihilation!"

Six blazing fireballs, as large as meteorites, hurtled down on Uchiha Shu!

"Melting Escape·Molten Formation Wall."

Returning to the regular battle, Uchiha Shu, with his mind fully focused, suddenly clenched his hands.

Under his skillful control, the Bloodline Limit: Lava Release chakra, like the Water Release: Water Wall, converged into a magnificent circular wall of lava, easily devouring and annihilating all the Great Fire Extinction!

"Immortal Technique·Scorching Flame Rasengan."

At that very moment, behind the reanimated Madara who had just finished using the Uchiha's signature Fire Release technique, the Wood Clone Uchiha Shu suddenly appeared and raised his palm.

The scorching hot ball, glowing with the light of magma, slammed straight into his head!

"Flying Thunder God Technique? Tobirama's technique."

"Did this brat start learning forbidden techniques from the womb?"

Bang.

A powerful shadow clone of Madara exploded.

However, the true self keenly discerned the principle: the body of that shadow clone had been quietly marked with a spell pattern!

"Let's incorporate Wind Release and create a Composite Rasengan."

Clearly, Uchiha Shu was hesitant to use the fourth-order gene lock for extended periods, occasionally employing micro-level attacks to achieve greater results with less effort, and relying more on the computing power gained from freeing up his brain to update his skill set.

"I'm not sure if it's even meaningful. Theoretically, if we were to launch a direct attack, we would need to use Yin-Yang Release, which renders all ninjutsu ineffective, to completely destroy the reincarnated body."

"Sage Art: Lava Release: Rasengan!"

The next moment, Uchiha Shu raised his palm and swallowed six super-sized Great Fire Extinctions in one gulp. The molten lava wall, which had become even more dazzling, immediately began to spin in his hand.

Nobody knows if this is the Fifth Hokage's true form.

After all, ever since his chakra reserves increased, the style of creating illusory and real clones that never die has become Uchiha Shu's fighting style.

Fire, Earth, and Thunder watched from all sides, witnessing the birth of a crimson spiral shuriken that blotted out the sky and was powerful enough to annihilate a giant meteorite. The storm stirred up by the spinning light created a scene of forbidden magic.

"Can Dust Release completely disintegrate it in one go?"

An absurd question flashed through Tsuchikage Onoki's mind.

the other side.

Rain-Hidden Village.

A small country located in the heart of the continent, sandwiched between the three great nations of fire, wind, and earth. Every time a conflict breaks out in the ninja world, this land becomes a battlefield, and very few children can survive to adulthood.

It was raining all day long.

"The rain that never stops is the tears of the departed."

As the paper pieces fluttered in the air, Xiao Nan suddenly thought of this sentence.

As far back as she could remember, the sky had always been a heavy, leaden gray.

The climate is damp and cold.

Thinking this, the scattered pieces of paper gathered together and immediately transformed into a graceful figure.

Having been infused with a soul, she became increasingly vibrant, her skin turning from white to blue, and her hair acquiring color.

"Under the Rain Tiger Freedom Technique, no one can sneak into the village, right?"

"Except for that masked man who calls himself Uchiha Madara."

Thinking of this, Konan couldn't help but feel a shadow fall over her heart. The other party's unpredictable space-time eye technique was something even Nagato was wary of. According to the Tsuchikage Onoki, he was suspected of being forcibly taken away by the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

below.

In the towering, menacing steel building, metal pipes are exposed, and a strange tower with a protruding tongue is particularly eye-catching. Pain sits on it, gazing at the sky in a daze.

"Yahiko."

Xiao Nan became increasingly sad.

And at the very bottom of the tower building surrounded by sensor chains.

A dark, muddy figure emerged from the ground.

It ignored the chains and immediately attached itself to Nagato, initiating a forced fusion.

In an instant, half of Nagato's body turned black.

Its appearance is incredibly bizarre.

"Absolutely!" Nagato, paralyzed in his wheelchair, felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Even deities experience fear when faced with the unknown.

"What happened?!"

Sensing that something was wrong with the core seal, Xiao Nan was somewhat alarmed and immediately spread her paper wings and rushed over.

At the summoning of Nagato, Pain appeared in the underground space in the blink of an eye.

"Zetsu, did Madara tell you to do this?!"

Xiao Nan's cold, questioning voice rang out.

This time, he wasn't pretending to be profound, because his partner had changed from the idiot Obito to the genuine Uchiha Madara: "Hmph, that's right."

"These Rinnegan have never belonged to Nagato. I have been ordered to retrieve them."

Black Zetsu revealed a sinister smile on the half of his face that had been exposed. He had finally found an outlet for his frustrations from the recent string of setbacks. He slowly said, "How foolish and ignorant one must be to think that one is blessed by the heavens and has opened the Eye of the Immortal on one's own."

"The Rinnegan originated from a primal path of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, and you—a mere descendant of the Uzumaki clan, at most inheriting the degraded body of the Asura Sage and possessing some sealing talent—how could you possibly awaken these eyes?"

"Nagato."

"These eyes originally belonged to Lord Madara. What divine favor? Was he born with the mission to change the ninja world?"

"Hahaha—" Black Zetsu paused for a moment, then let out a hearty laugh.

Having suffered repeated defeats at the hands of Uchiha Shu, the gloomy feeling of hating him to the point of gritting his teeth but having no choice but to endure it finally found an outlet.

"What right do you have to awaken the Rinnegan! You're nothing but a pathetic tool to help Madara nurture his Rinnegan and carry out his plan!"

The talkative Black Zetsu wasn't worried at all about Nagato breaking free.

With a single, decisive strike, the Yin-Yang Escape technique allowed it to easily control this powerful yet weakened body, continuously corroding the remaining portion.

"What a ridiculous and pathetic fool. I've tolerated you for so long, watching you bear the name of God, indulging in self-pity for so long, and putting on such a wonderful farce."

"Today, I'll show you mercy and let you die knowing the truth. I'll tell you all the truths that you've never been able to understand in your life."

Black Zetsu believed that this was a rehearsal before the grand opening, and that the Six Paths Madara, who had truly returned alive, could eliminate all variables!

The thrill of manipulating people's hearts made it lose its senses and stop hiding what it and Madara Uchiha had done to Nagato.

"Lord Madara suffered severe injuries at the Valley of the End. Even if he awakens the Six Paths Origin, he won't live for long. We need to find a suitable vessel."

Clearly, Black Zetsu wasn't completely complacent.

His tone still conveyed respect for Uchiha Madara, prioritizing him.

"Your scattered vortex bloodline gives you a special constitution and vitality far exceeding that of ordinary ninjas. Your chakra is enormous, and you can barely withstand the backlash of Six Paths level eye power. Unlike most ninjas, you won't explode and die as soon as you open your eyes."

"Only then do they deserve to be in our sights!"

Black Zetsu emphasized his words.

Nagato's body trembled uncontrollably; the collapse of his beliefs brought him utter despair.

God's identity shattered!

"To ensure the plan's success, I have been secretly manipulating your life, prompting Yahiko to establish the first Akatsuki organization."

"The sacrifices for peace were all secretly arranged by Obito and me—"

"Obito is an Uchiha junior who awakened space-time ninjutsu. Tsk, he's even dumber than you."

"Hehehe, while Hanzo of the Salamander and Danzo Shimura were besieging you, the first generation of Akatsuki members were all wiped out. This was also something that Obito and I secretly planned—"

"Summoning the Outer Path Golem before his body was fully developed, and forcibly using the mere Uzumaki bloodline, caused his potential to be capped, leaving him as a half-crippled person, was also part of the plan."

"That's the only way."

"Having experienced the pain of this world, you obediently follow the pre-arranged script and execute the Eye of the Moon Plan, powerless to resist."

"you!"

With most of his face turning black and his soul being squeezed, Nagato stared wide-eyed, still under control, in disbelief.

Xiao Nan was so angry that she was trembling all over.

How could someone as powerful and sensitive as them be willing to believe that life is controlled by a behind-the-scenes manipulator?

I thought I had overcome the cruel trials of fate and was moving forward with determination, but in the end I was just being led along like a puppet.

Suffering originates from human actions!

Yahiko died because of scheming.

He claims to be a god, but in reality, he's just a liar!

No, that's impossible.

Like a hemiplegic patient, Nagato, sitting in a wheelchair, trembled slightly as he managed to utter, "I am God."

"ha?"

"Stubborn fool! Everything you have comes from Lord Madara's gift. He can take it back at any time. The fact that you couldn't sense the existence of the Gedo Mazo not long ago is convincing enough, isn't it?"

"Your weapon of war, which you only use once when you've exhausted your body, is something Lord Madara can use to wage war at will."

Black Zetsu manipulated Nagato's hands, slowly bringing his palms together: "Alright, let the pawn complete its final task."

"Kill me—"

Nagato forced out a sound, like an incompetent husband watching his uncontrollably clasped hands, "Konan, bury this place with explosive tags. It wants to use the Rinnegan to make me use the Rinne Rebirth Technique."

"Ban is dead now."

"We absolutely cannot bring him back to life."

It's better to lose on both sides than to win alone!

Nagato, a mortal whose mindset had plummeted from the clouds to the mire, regained his normal perception and vaguely felt that he had broken free from some kind of constraint.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to explore further.

Black Zetsu manipulated the puppet to quickly join its hands, wary of the unknown power that had newly sprouted within Nagato's soul.

Since the Fifth Hokage took office, the ninja world has become increasingly unfamiliar to the filial son.

"Fortunately, Madara will eliminate Uchiha Shu."

"Very strong————"

Simultaneously, the usually arrogant Edo Tensei Madara began to back down.

That Celestial Art: Lava Release Spiral Sword could very well threaten this body.

If it were to descend in its peak living form, one could try absorbing its chakra using the Rinnegan.

hum!

The spiral shuriken sliced ​​through the air and flew over at lightning speed.

Madara Uchiha simply controlled all his powerful clones to block the attack from different angles, while the clones that shared his eye power immediately activated Susanoo in a protective stance in an attempt to block this new forbidden technique.

BOOM!!

A violent explosion shattered the so-called third divine power in the lava.

All life within a radius of 100 kilometers witnessed that column of magma that shot straight into the sky.

The edge of the battlefield protected by Hashirama's Wood Release.

The Konoha Anbu members were horrified. Jiraiya never expected that the No-Seal Ninjutsu developed by his disciple, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, would be appreciated by the Fifth Hokage, who added so many elements and brought it to such a high level.

"Xiu, what has he gone through to undergo such a terrifying transformation in such a short period of time—"

Fugaku's heart was surging with emotion.

The mission to rebuild the glory of the Flame Fan and make the Uchiha clan great again is now a foregone conclusion.

This power might allow him to become the second Sage of Six Paths!

Something's not right.

Tsuchikage Onoki broke out in a cold sweat. Not to mention the Susanoo Buddha, the destructive power of this spiral shuriken was enough to destroy the Iwagakure village, which was the size of a city, in one strike.

In that case, why bother with all the complicated procedures when the Fifth Generation Fire descended upon the village a while ago?

This is a secret worth exploring further.

Unfortunately, whether or not he has the life to explore it is not up to Onoki to decide.

"Hashirama, Madara, Uchiha Shu, the heavens have been too kind to Konoha."

On the Cloud Hidden side...

Lei Ying Ai's expression was solemn.

With such overwhelming combat power, how could Konoha possibly compete without taking a beating? The existing power structure was destined to be disrupted.

As a mere villager relegated to the sidelines, Ai felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and resentment.

"The Heretical Path of Reincarnation and Heavenly Life Technique!"

At this moment, Uchiha Madara, lying in the lava with all his clones exploding, was surrounded by white smoke.

Without the support of the semi-activated Outer Path Demon Statue, I will temporarily lose my mobility and be targeted by sealing techniques.

"But at the crucial moment, I won the revival match, Black Zetsu — well done."

The Uchiha clan member, who loved to dance the most during the Warring States period, couldn't help but curl up the corner of his mouth.

Even with the combination of Sage Art and Lava Release, the Rinnegan resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation melted little by little—no, it was like shredded paper burning off from its eye socket.

"Hahaha!"

Uchiha, filled with joy and a sunny, cheerful laugh, reappeared. The vitality within him was reviving, and the emptiness that constantly surrounded his soul was no longer there.

As the paper scraps and ashes scattered, he was filled with a vivid sense of real existence.

Not far away, Tobirama Senju sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

"Kid, my True Sight is back."

His body was instantly restored, and Madara Uchiha absorbed the Ten-Tails' shell into his internal space, just like a Jinchuriki and a Tailed Beast.
