Konoha: This Uchiha is going a bit too far.

Chapter 198 The Secret of the Grim Reaper, Yahiko's Resurrection

"Am I really the Hokage?"

"It's not you, it's another Uchiha Madara."

"So, since Izuna killed Tobirama Senju, and Tobirama Senju is no longer around, I became the First Hokage?"

"The other world is like this. According to Madara, without Tobirama Senju's interference, Hashirama Senju's support allowed him to become Hokage smoothly."

"As expected, Tobirama Senju was the root of all evil. I should have killed him back then!"

"."

At Yuzhi's house, looking at Uchiha Madara who seemed somewhat dazed and kept asking strange questions, Yuzhi couldn't help but rub her temples.

Guang, standing to the side, watched all of this with amusement, finding it particularly interesting.

The story of the haori weaving unexpectedly came to the attention of the person in question, and to make matters worse, Tobirama Senju actually revealed it to the person in question.

Now, Hikaru can't help but wonder, if Hagoromo were to play the role of this so-called "Uchiha Madara" again, how far would things go?

If we meet and one is telling the truth and the other is lying, won't they be exposed to each other face-to-face?

Hikaru touched her chin, tilted her head and muttered to herself, while Yuri was speechless as she gloated.

The reason he dared to let Madara Uchiha stay was not only because he wanted to trick Obito, but also because he knew that Tobirama Senju would definitely not see anything wrong with it.

Tobirama Senju was very strong, but the problem was that when Hiruzen Sarutobi summoned him, he only had one thing on his mind—to seek his teacher's opinion.

His mindset of "that's all" led to his seemingly perfunctory summoning of Tobirama Senju.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique was probably only learned in an hour or two, and the materials used were just random death row inmates pulled out of prison.

Although the Tobirama Senju created in this way still looks like he did before his death, probably due to insufficient skill in his technique, his actual strength is less than one level.

His perception can only be passive; asking him to actively perceive other people's situations would be asking too much of him.

However, this state of Tobirama Senju is the best Tobirama Senju. He has experience, awareness, and skill, but he lacks strength.

This is why Yuzhi has always been willing to keep him, even making him a de facto advisory team member, and tolerating his boastful remarks.

Without the power, there's no way to influence him.

As for the possibility of this guy being truly resurrected in the future, Yuzhi could accept it.

"After all, I've covered him in every way. I know everything he knows, and I know everything he doesn't. Who's afraid of who!"

Of course, there is another reason, which is that Tobirama Senju was someone who cared about Konoha and clearly understood the situation, knowing his own position and how to act.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to support Yuzhi on many seemingly unorthodox things. It can be said that although this guy has a bad personality, he took his anger out on the Uchiha clan because of Madara Uchiha.

But in essence, he is someone who is willing to compromise for the greater good, which is why Yuzhi is still able to accept him.

"But this guy is really giving me trouble."

Yuzhi was inwardly complaining, but then she said helplessly.

"You already know the specifics, and the reason they came here."

According to them, it was because they seized the Dragon Vein, and when they were searching for a world where they could plunder the Tailed Beasts, they were aroused by the Dragon Vein chakra here.

You really should thank Obito; if it weren't for him, these people probably wouldn't have come.

"Hmph, at least this idiot did do one good thing."

Madara Uchiha nodded subconsciously, but he couldn't help but glare at Haori.

"That guy, isn't he just using my name to swindle people all day long?"

Madara noticed long ago that whenever Haori mentioned Obito, she would always glance at him, which already indicated that Haori knew he had a connection with Obito.

Upon closer reflection, Madara Uchiha immediately understood what was going on. Before he died, he had told Obito, "From now on, you will be Madara Uchiha."

It now appears that Obito actually did that, but this has put Madara in a difficult position.

"You're using my name, and you're getting beaten up everywhere?"

Madara's face darkened. Recalling the tragic story Haori had told him about Obito's plight, and remembering how that guy kept calling himself "Uchiha Madara," he truly regretted his actions.

He felt that if he had actually chosen the haori back then, things might have been different, at least it wouldn't have been so embarrassing!

Now look what's happened; his reputation is completely ruined, and that guy has gone down a completely different path.

Even though Madara always knew that Obito had some ulterior motives and that he was not just an ordinary fool.

But now it seems Madara underestimated Obito.

"That's right, I'm actually very curious, didn't you do any research before selecting people?"

Yuri nodded, then looked at Madara with a puzzled expression and asked.

"Don't you know that at the ninja academy, Ken only ranked second?"

"How much better can you be?"

Although Ban was difficult to deal with, he still had professional qualities, and he immediately retorted.

"Although you are rated 8 or above in intelligence, your physical fitness and endurance are extremely low, especially your professional knowledge is terrible!"

Don't forget, you were a bottom-of-the-class student back then!

"Yes, yes, but who knows if I'm faking it or not."

Yu Zhi's reputation has now been turned around, so he can say whatever he wants and talk nonsense.

"After all, things weren't peaceful back then. Wouldn't it be better to pretend to be weak and not go to the battlefield? I just didn't expect Konoha to be so ruthless."

"Hmph, doesn't that also show you're not very smart?"

Ban spoke dismissively, crossing his arms and speaking indifferently.

"No matter who it is, they have to go. The more talented and stronger they are, the more protection they will receive."

Although you later began to show your talent, it was already too late; otherwise, you could have received the elders' protection much earlier.

"Wouldn't it be better to get it under control sooner?"

Yuzhi shook her head dismissively. At that time, his cheat code wasn't even activated yet, so what could he do?

"Those people, like Uchiha Setsuna, are no ordinary people."

I heard that the Uchiha clan created some kind of "ultimate weapon" a hundred years ago. Although it was sealed away, their ideas remain unchanged.

At this point, Yuzhi quietly turned her head to glance at Hikaru, and although Hikaru glared at her, her gaze was rather gentle.

They are both people who are not in control of their own lives and are forced to be controlled. This is also the point that makes Hikaru feel closest to Hagoromo. They are really too similar.

"Only the weak would have such thoughts. I foresaw Uchiha Setsuna's downfall long ago."

Madara Uchiha snorted disdainfully, but he turned his head to look out the window, watching Uchiha children running past the door laughing every now and then.

Seeing the warm and friendly atmosphere of the people around him, he went about his business with a smile on his face, and even greeted the patrol team along the way.

This harmonious scene left Madara Uchiha with mixed feelings; even his Uchiha clan hadn't achieved this back then.

"Did this brat achieve Izuna's dream?"

Madara Uchiha thought to himself, he could never forget Izuna lying in his arms, entrusting him with the care of the Uchiha clan in the future.

Because he chose to leave, while the Uchiha clan chose to stay, he was ultimately unable to fulfill his promise to Izuna.

"How wonderful it would be if everything from another world happened in this world."

Ban couldn't help but murmur, having already accepted the concept that "a small thing can change everything, leading to a different course of history and the formation of a new world."

Moreover, he seemed genuinely willing to accept everything about the other world, as that seemed to be the most fulfilling way.

It doesn't matter whether Tobirama Senju lives or dies, it's just...

"You can stay here for now. I'll leave a mark on you temporarily, and then I'll find you a place to live."

While Madara Uchiha was deep in thought, Haori spoke up from the side.

"Don't overthink it. After all, I don't know what you're thinking right now, and I need to respect you, since you are Uchiha Madara."

"snort."

Madara didn't object; he just nodded. The fact that Haori left a mark on him was a sign of her esteem. If she really didn't like him and ignored him, he wouldn't be able to accept it.

"When are we going to look at those ancient books?"

"We're going to the moon to retrieve it in a while, and I'll arrange for you to join the team then."

Yuzhi spoke directly, then stood up.

"However, I also have a lot of information here, you can take a look and think about it."

"I see."

Uchiha Dazzle nodded, but after watching Yuki's departing figure, he hesitated for a moment before finally asking.

Do you think fate can be broken, or do you think your "assumption" is true?

Why do you ask that?

Yuri looked at Uchiha Madara with some confusion, wondering why this guy had gone crazy again.

"In another world, I became the Hokage, but Hashirama refused to let me unify the world, which led to us fighting each other again."

Is this the destiny of Indra and Asura, or is this an inevitable result caused by your "assumption"?

Only through constant warfare and relentless training, pushing everyone to their absolute peak, can we achieve the goal of saving the ninja world as you hypothesize?

"Who knows?"

Yuzhi shook his head, looked quietly at Uchiha Madara, and then smiled.

"Whether it's fate or destiny, there's always a solution. I'm not a believer in 'fate'."

I believe that people still need to rely on themselves, because anything is possible with human effort.

-

Under the hazy moonlight, Yuzhi, having finished her day's work, did not go home.

Madara has been placed in place, and the Flying Thunder God mark has been engraved, so that the haori can clearly see where Madara is.

If it were Madara during his prime, there would be no point in Haori doing this, since others could easily erase such a mark through their own means.

However, Madara doesn't have that kind of power now, and besides, he really doesn't have any intention of objecting. Instead, he's obediently staying at Haori's house looking at those ancient books.

Since Yuzhi had been to the moon, he couldn't possibly have returned empty-handed, so he brought back some books from the moon as well.

Although there weren't many, they did record quite a few things that Hagoromo wanted Madara Uchiha to see, such as the changes in the ninja world recorded by the "Moon Otsutsuki".

For example, some situations during Kaguya's era, and some definitions of "outsiders," and these are the two things that Hagoromo most wanted Uchiha Madara to see!

"After all, some seeds have already been sown. Sending him to the moon shouldn't be a problem. But how exactly will Madara be resurrected?"

Yuri stroked her chin, pondering to herself.

Yuri is not entirely sure what form Madara Uchiha will take, but at least he needs to see some of the 'truths of the ninja world'.

Whether he believes it or not is hard to say, but it seems that this guy has already wavered slightly.

After all, what Yuzhi told him was logically sound. After all, the Sage of Six Paths was already a "god," so his logic couldn't possibly be so "unpredictable."

Moreover, under Yuzhi's guidance, he himself coined the definition of "stripping away will to forge a weapon that is fearless of death," which might make him begin to have some doubts about "Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Doubt is the biggest crack. Once the seed of doubt is sown, it cannot be repaired unless there is irrefutable evidence to refute it!

"Especially since I'm only presenting the truth, and I'm using logical deduction from the truth, while also glorifying the Sage of Six Paths and the others, there's simply no one who can refute me!"

If we're going to criticize someone, let's criticize the Sage of Six Paths' character.

However, it's uncertain whether the person who makes the hammer will suffer the consequences, since the Sage of Six Paths' soul should be considered to be in the 'spying' ninja world.

If Yuzhi praises him so much, I just hope she doesn't suffer any bad luck.

"Are you crazy? Going out in the middle of the night?"

Watching Haori pretend to be Obito again, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Now that Konoha has succeeded, Yahiko should follow suit. It's my ninja way to keep my word."

Yuri smiled nonchalantly, raised an eyebrow at the light, and then asked with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't stay out all night. I won't leave my wife alone at home."

Before Yuzhi could finish speaking, a pillow was thrown at him, but luckily Yuzhi reacted quickly and caught it.

"Hey, hey, hey, murdering your husband is a serious crime. What you're doing isn't appropriate, is it?"

"snort."

Hikaru was both annoyed and amused by Haori. She felt that Haori was really good at talking nonsense, but after thinking about it, she simply leaned against the bed and asked.

"Do you want me to go with you? And when are you expecting to be back?"

"Whether I want to go or not is irrelevant. I'm just going to try to resurrect that guy named Yahiko, and also to see what that so-called evil god follower is really like."

To be honest, Yuzhi was really curious about what was going on with the group of followers of the evil god.

Nagato was very efficient and possessed extraordinary strength. In addition, he used his clones to personally take action, so naturally, he swept through the enemy's territory.

After all, his clones and puppets weren't afraid of having their blood taken, so after a cleanup, these evil god followers were naturally wiped out.

If they hadn't lacked a way to contact Yuzhi, they probably would have been taken away by her long ago. Yuzhi only learned about this matter after seeing the report from the Anbu.

Although the Land of Hot Springs is not yet within Konoha's "business scope," the efficiency of the Anbu is still trustworthy.

"Immortality?"

Guang tilted her head and said curiously.

"You're saying those guys can survive even after their heads are cut off. Does that kind of vitality really exist?"

"It exists. I'm also very curious about what this so-called evil god is all about."

Yuzhi stroked his chin and spoke slowly.

"However, I've also heard that they might starve to death, but it's hard to say exactly what will happen."

"They can't be killed by blows, they can't be killed by cuts, and they won't die from blood loss, but they can starve to death?"

Guang was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly a creature came to mind.

"Wouldn't that make you just like a cockroach?"

"You know what, it really does look quite similar."

Cockroaches can survive without a head, but ultimately they die because they cannot eat without a head.

However, these followers of the evil god are somewhat different from cockroaches; once their bodies lose control of their heads, they become unable to move.

The mechanism behind this is completely different from that of cockroaches; they seem to be driven by their brains rather than their bodily functions.

However, from this perspective, as long as their spirit and will do not die, this group of people should be able to survive.

The so-called starvation should not exist either.

"Could it be that he killed himself?"

Suddenly, Yuzhi realized something: could it be that they had been "self-executed" by their own brains?

"What do you mean? You killed yourself?"

Hikaru didn't understand, but Hagoromo nodded and began to explain.

"As humans, there are only two things etched into our genes: dry rice and shivering."

"It's about survival and reproduction!"

Hikaru couldn't hold back anymore. How could the words coming out of Hagoromo's mouth always sound so distorted?

"Alright, alright, survival and reproduction."

Yuzhi shrugged. In his opinion, it was something that was "accessible to all, so as long as people could understand it, it was fine. It wasn't like he was talking to outsiders."

"Survival is about obtaining energy, and the simplest way to obtain energy is naturally to eat."

This concept is deeply ingrained in our genes and minds. If we don't eat or consume food, even the most resilient life force may develop a mistaken understanding in our brains.

Under such guidance, even the healthiest person will gradually change, exhibiting symptoms that shouldn't appear but the brain has already identified, until finally…

"The result is death, right?"

Hikaru nodded; she understood what Haori meant.

"Simply put, it's like an illusion. Once the brain believes it's real, things will get worse."

In this light, it does indeed have a similar effect to illusion, except that illusion is guided by someone, while these followers of evil gods are…

The idea that one's own brain killed itself seems absurd, but the more you think about it, the closer it seems to be to the truth.

The reason why illusions can kill people is that they make the brain believe that everything they are experiencing is real.

The idea of ​​someone killing themselves, while a protective mechanism, seems absurd and unbelievable the more you think about it.

"Alright, stop thinking about it so much. Genes are selfish things."

Yuzhi smiled, stretched, and then stood up.

"It doesn't care what individuals think; all it wants is to ensure the continuation of the 'human' species."

An individual can go without food without any problems, but this is impossible for the human species as a whole.

Without energy intake, physiological functions will cease and death will occur; therefore, a protective mechanism naturally arises.

"I know."

Hikaru nodded. Actually, she just thought it was a bit absurd and didn't think too much about it. However, Yuri's next sentence made her lose her composure.

"Similarly, in order for the human race to continue to reproduce, there is naturally another protective mechanism, which is..."

"Shut up!"

"What's wrong? Won't you listen to the truth anymore?"

"Didn't you say you had something to do? Get out of here!"

"Okay, okay, I'll be back as soon as possible. Let's watch the sunrise today."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hagoromo had completely disappeared from the spot, leaving only Hikaru holding a pillow in her hand, as if she was about to throw it.

Seeing that the haori had disappeared, Hikaru couldn't help but purse her lips.

"That's really too much!"

Although she had long been aware of Yuzhi's excessive behavior, her increasingly outrageous actions were making it difficult for her to keep up.

"They even watched the sunrise together, huh."

Shaking his head, Guang put down the pillow and then simply stood up. After thinking for a moment, he sighed and walked towards the bathroom.

However, she kept muttering to herself as she walked.

"It wasn't my choice, I just didn't want you to wake me up in the middle of the night, so I reluctantly agreed."

"Just how far are you going to go, you bastard?"

-

"It's confirmed that these followers of the evil god do indeed possess the ability to be immortal, just as that 'mysterious man' said."

In the Land of Rain, inside a grand hall, Konan looked at Nagato with a serious expression and spoke.

The information about the evil god's followers was provided by Hagoromo, and Nagato did not delay at all; he immediately set off.

Relying on his six clones, he easily captured all of them, and they were indeed as weak as Yuzhi had said.

The fighting style was completely open and aggressive, with no intention of defense whatsoever, though Nagato still had some doubts.

Since he couldn't contact Yuki, he simply had Orochimaru and Sasori assist in the experiment to check whether these guys could actually live that long.

And as it turned out, even after they had been almost drained of blood and their bodies dismembered, they could still spew out filth and curse incessantly.

This confirmed Xiao Nan's suspicions about these people; they truly possessed almost limitless vitality!

"That's good, but where did that guy go?"

Nagato was naturally pleased to hear this, as it meant that he was not far from truly reviving Yahiko!

However, there is a crucial problem now: with Yuzhi gone, he cannot contact her at all.

He had tried asking for the haori's "contact information," but the other party never gave a clear answer, which made Nagato extremely distressed.

He knew that the other side probably had a terrifying intelligence network that could obtain any important information.

He could only hope that Yuzhi would see the news from the Land of Hot Springs soon; he was really impatient.

Of course, he could choose to do it himself, but Yuzhi was in charge of this matter, and he had to show her some respect no matter what.

It would be a bad thing if he made the other party unhappy because of his impatience, and they eventually gave up on him.

Even if he is very confident that he has already connected with Konoha, it is hard to say whether his side can withstand it if he goes to assist another "idiot".

"Besides, it's more convenient for him to cast the illusion spell than for me to do it myself."

Nagato muttered to himself, but at that moment, he clearly sensed a fluctuation of chakra, and his eyes lit up slightly.

The same applies to Konan. This surge of chakra can only mean one thing: that the "mysterious person" has arrived!

"It seems you've been waiting for me for a long time."

The moment the haori landed, he saw the two people in front of him, and he smiled slightly and asked.

"We have indeed been waiting for a long time, and we are still wondering when you will arrive."

Konan glanced at Nagato, who hadn't spoken, and then spoke up.

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you about what I promised."

Yuzhi shook his head, glanced at the two people in front of him, and then spoke.

"Take me to the lab and let's get started. I have other things to do tonight."

The way Hagoromo was so decisive left Nagato and Konan speechless. Was she in such a hurry?

Despite thinking this, they quickly led Yuzhi towards the basement, with Konan asking curiously as they walked.

"Sir, do you have any other matters to attend to?"

"That's natural."

Yuzhi nodded, then chuckled softly and spoke in a low voice.

"I have a lot more to deal with than you can imagine, so hurry up."

He wasn't going to tell Haori what he was supposed to deal with; he couldn't very well say that she was just waiting for him at home, could he?

Moreover, creating a certain degree of mystery is quite beneficial.

"Is it finally coming?"

When they arrived at the underground laboratory, Orochimaru and Sasori were already there. Upon seeing Haori and the others arrive, they immediately realized what was happening.

They have the techniques, and after researching for so long, they have their own ideas, but they still don't know for sure how effective they will be.

Moreover, if they were to perform the illusions themselves, they could easily cause problems, which would naturally require extremely powerful illusion magic.

Now that the haori has appeared, it naturally means that everything is ready, and they can properly test what kind of effect it will have!

"I'm right here. You can have anything you need."

After summoning Yahiko's body, Nagato finally spoke.

He hadn't said anything before because he was trying to control his emotions.

He worried that he might get too excited and cause problems, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that there was no need to worry about it.

Success or failure hinges on this moment; all he has to do is cooperate with Yuzhi!

"Yes, I know."

Yuzhi nodded. He wasn't really moved by their excitement, since he already had successful cases.

Knowing he wouldn't fail, he naturally couldn't empathize with these people.

His only current curiosity is about the problems of these cult followers.

"Which is more ruthless, the so-called Grim Reaper or the evil god?"

What exactly is the so-called god in the ninja world? This has always been something that Hagoromo has been curious about.

Whether they were formed by natural forces or were embodiments of some kind of rule, these were things that Yuzhi had no idea about.

The only thing that is certain is that they really exist.

In particular, the "Dead Demon Sealing Technique" summons the Grim Reaper to devour souls.

Simply put, this evil god seems to be competing with the Grim Reaper for business. So, whose reach can extend further?

"Furthermore, this time we won't use the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and the deceased won't have self-awareness. What will happen then?"

With that in mind, Yuuki simply started moving.

In an instant, his eyes changed, but because of the colored contact lenses, no one else could tell anything.

However, the terrifying and eerie chakra was vibrating, telling everyone that the situation was unusual.

hum-

In an instant, a perfectly healthy man belonging to a follower of the evil god was subdued by Yuzhi.

Presumably to prevent this guy from spitting out feces, his mouth was completely gagged.

However, as soon as Orochimaru saw this guy start to move, he immediately removed the restrictions on him.

Under the control of the haori, the guy began to form hand seals in a daze, and in an instant, strange chakra began to vibrate within his body.

"This is."

Nagato's Rinnegan naturally allows him to see many things that ordinary people cannot. He clearly saw a power that seemed to be flowing from this follower of the evil god into Yahiko's body.

Yuzhi remained silent; his focus was now more on the believer of the "immortal" than on Yahiko.

"There are no problems yet. With ample chakra, there doesn't seem to be much change in the situation."

Yuzhi silently recited the name in his mind, while also glancing at Yahiko.

"Since it's not Edo Tensei and Nagato has taken good care of her, things seem to be much simpler than I thought."

Although Yahiko died, his body was well protected by Nagato.

Those black chakra rods continuously provided the power of Yang Release, which made Yahiko's body incredibly strong while retaining some human characteristics.

For example, he can also bleed.

Whether it was when Hagoromo threw a powerful punch or when Naruto pulled out those black tubes in the original story, Yahiko's body was bleeding.

This kind of maintenance makes it easier to move around in the haori, and it also speeds up the efficiency of haori movement.

"what!"

When his chakra was exhausted, the power of his life began to be stripped away, and Yahiko's soul began to be connected. At that moment, the controlled follower of the evil god let out a scream.

Hagoromo watched all this quietly, and in his eyes he could clearly see Hidan's life force rapidly draining away.

Moreover, this loss also caused changes in his body; almost visibly, his body began to wither away rapidly.

He withered, but he did not truly die.

It was as if an invisible force was protecting the flame of his life, ensuring that it would never be extinguished!

However, his soul seemed to be suffering immense pain. Even though he was still being controlled by the haori, his screams just wouldn't stop.

"This situation is not only different from Chiyo's revival of Gaara, but also very different from my revival of Hatake Sakumo."

Yuri muttered to herself, especially as Yahiko's soul became more clearly drawn to her, his screams grew louder!

"It seems that the most difficult thing to resist with this kind of immortality is the backlash on the soul."

Yuzhi thought to himself that this made him understand something.

The power that the evil god bestows upon his followers seems quite good. Although it is still limited by human physique, it essentially allows their bodies to undergo a transformation.

The glow, like the flame of life, constantly burning, proved this point.

However, they only change the body, not the soul, which means that they will likely run into problems as long as the Grim Reaper's "business scope" is involved.

"But that's easy to understand, since the things that the so-called evil god does are basically competing with the so-called god of death for business."

Snatching business is never a good thing. If you don't encounter it, that's fine, but once you do, probably no one will let it go!

"Although it was somewhat dangerous, it turns out this body can still be reused, and I seem to have also discovered the weakness of this so-called immortal body."

Yuri was in a good mood; exploring the unknown always brought him joy.

Compared to him, Nagato, Konan, and even Orochimaru and Sasori all seemed somewhat nervous.

Nagato, Konan, and Sasori, in particular, all had a great desire for this technique and desperately hoped that it would succeed.

Regardless of what Nagato thinks, Yahiko's resurrection is his greatest wish, and Konan has always missed Yahiko.

As for Scorpion, as long as this technique succeeds, his parents won't be far behind!

"what!"

With a piercing scream, the cultist finally collapsed to the ground, his body as withered as a skeleton, as if he had been drained dry.

Strangely, his life force remained strong, creating a stark contrast to his current state.

Not far away, Yahiko's eyes were still closed, but his heart had already begun to beat.

A moment later, he suddenly and slowly opened his eyes.

"I never expected it to be like this."

Looking at the documents in his hand, Madara Uchiha took a deep breath.

He himself didn't know how long he had been reading it, and the "ancient book" in his hand was both lengthy and boring.

If it weren't for his strong willpower, he himself wasn't sure if he could have persevered.

Moreover, he reads very quickly. In order to finish reading everything even faster, he even used his Sharingan!

"However, this body's Sharingan is too weak. Even if I only had one tomoe when I was thirteen, I am now an Edo Tensei. Is it appropriate for you to only give me one tomoe?"

Ban couldn't help but complain; he was really quite angry.

Madara didn't awaken his Sharingan as early as one might imagine; he was already thirteen or fourteen years old when he met Hashirama.

Compared to Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha who came after him, he did awaken his Sharingan quite late, especially compared to Sasuke, the new "Indra," his awakening was ridiculously late.

Sasuke didn't actually use the Sharingan until he was thirteen years old. He only realized he had these eyes and how to use them after he graduated from the Ninja Academy.

But his eyes were awakened when he was seven or eight years old, after witnessing Itachi Uchiha massacre his entire clan.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that he had opened his eyes; the immense shock made him completely unaware of the situation.

Similarly, Uchiha Izumi was the same. Whether she was killed by Uchiha Itachi or Uchiha Obito on the night of the massacre, she had also awakened her Sharingan.

What's even more outrageous is that she already had three tomoe when she opened her eyes.

Perhaps she opened her eyes early, or perhaps her talent was simply outrageous, but in any case, in the original story, she never had the chance to showcase her talent.

Although Madara awakened his Sharingan late, the numerous battles and the constant news of his younger brother's death allowed his Sharingan to continuously improve, ultimately leading him to the pinnacle of the ninja world!

He was never one to judge a person's worth based on the time they gained experience. Perhaps it was this mindset that led him to value a person's character and qualities more than what ordinary people would call talent.

"However, even a single magatama is enough for me to quickly flip through."

Madara Uchiha murmured to himself, "Anyway, he's not a real life form, he won't get hungry or tired, he can go on forever."

A dead person can't die again, can they?

After finishing reading it, he was in a bad mood. Even though the ancient book didn't say much, it indirectly confirmed some of his thoughts.

"Hanging someone from a tree and trapping them in an illusion?"

He murmured to himself, his fists clenching slightly involuntarily.

"And what about those so-called 'invisible enemies'? Are they really those outsiders?"

He did not doubt the authenticity of the ancient book, because many of its words and word orders differed from those used today.

However, the culture is still consistent. Even if it looks awkward or uncomfortable, he can still understand it.

If someone were to fabricate these things, it would be time-consuming and laborious, and it's not impossible that they would use the wrong words or characters.

Besides, his eyes could also tell a little bit about how many years this book had probably been through; that couldn't be faked!

"If that's really the case, then have I really been deceived?"

Madara's gaze was gloomy as he thought of the other world that bastard Tobirama Senju had mentioned.

He had become the Hokage in that world, but it was Hashirama who chose to leave!

That world is like a reflection of this world; everything becomes a mirror image, yet everything continues to move forward along the path of this world.

It was as if an invisible hand was pushing them in this direction, making them constantly resist.

In the past, he probably wouldn't have thought much about it, but now he really has to consider someone with such great power to define 'destiny'.

Could it be that when they defined "destiny," they had already figured out how the ninja world could be preserved?

"Go ask that guy."

Madara took a deep breath, then stood up and walked towards Haori's room.

He was a little unhappy about being asked to stay in the living room, but he didn't really care.

He doesn't care about the accommodation environment, as long as he can handle the things he needs to handle.

But as soon as he reached Yuzhi's door, he suddenly noticed something unusual, because he found that the door was covered with all sorts of seals.

But now, he can't get close at all!

"Never mind, let's wait for him."

Ban was very annoyed, so he simply went back to the sofa and sat down to wait quietly.

But while they waited, the sun had already slowly risen in the sky.
