I have a bunch of relatives who want to become Hokage.

Perhaps it's not that the methods from Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myoboku are particularly ineffective; the main reason is probably the difference in chakra.

The simplest example is the Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku. Those toads from Mount Myōboku who can also use chakra would definitely be no match for Jiraiya, even if any one of them were much older than Jiraiya.

Although this may sound discriminatory, it is clear that chakra is inherently categorized into human and non-human levels, and humans are far more efficient at manipulating chakra than other creatures.

The Otsutsuki clan, being the first to develop chakra, is inherently superior to others.

Similarly, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was born with chakra, was far more powerful than his descendants. Most importantly, his Sage Chakra was in a perpetual state.

While both Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his descendants utilized the chakra of the Tailed Beasts, their achievements were completely different. The chakra of the later Jinchuriki remained unchanged. The Jinchuriki remained the Jinchuriki, and the Tailed Beast remained the Tailed Beast. The Jinchuriki used the Tailed Beast's chakra according to the principle of exchange: one part of their own chakra was exchanged for one part of the Tailed Beast's chakra. After the exchange, they would die. Although the Tailed Beasts are said to be ferocious, they are also honest. When exchanging chakra, they are indeed fair and impartial, without deception.

The situation is a bit better with perfect Jinchuriki; they no longer exchange Tailed Beasts, since they would simply give them to their friends if they had a good relationship with them. However, this doesn't change the fact that the Jinchuriki's own chakra and the Tailed Beast's chakra are still completely separate, and everyone continues to do their own thing.

The only exception is the Ten-Tails. Whether it was Obito Uchiha or Madara Uchiha from the original timeline, once they became the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, their bodies were altered, thus gaining physical strength equal to that of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

Like Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the chakra of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki has a built-in Sage Mode effect, but does not need to draw on natural energy. When Naruto Uzumaki obtained the Sage Body of Six Paths as the common Jinchuriki of the nine tailed beasts, he no longer needed to draw on natural energy.

However, Hagoromo Otsutsuki seems to be different from the others mentioned above. He had already separated from the Ten-Tails, but his chakra still possessed this property.

Whether this was innate or achieved through acquired skills, only Hagoromo Otsutsuki himself probably knows.

Because Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't know either, Uchiha Shingen had asked her.

As a pure chakra user, Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't use Sage Mode. Her focus regarding her eldest son's chakra was that the brat was giving away her chakra to everyone.

Uchiha Shingen took a moment to look at his hands. Although there was no mirror, he was certain that his physical appearance had not changed.

However, the change in chakra is real.

Although this power did not truly belong to him, it was only temporary.

But he decided to carefully experience and remember the process of change, and then try to restore it after he had collected all the chakra of the tailed beasts.

Ever since he cleverly obtained the Rinnegan, Uchiha Shingen now has great faith in the potential of the Uchiha clan.

At least the other side is an excellent example.

Amegakure Village... no, it can no longer be called a village.

The most violent ninjutsu in the ninja world has completely changed this place.

To this, the Rain Ninjas can only say—what have we done to deserve such a sight? The ticket price is far too high; we can't afford it!

Considering that no one dared to talk to those two things, the Rain Ninja had already led the villagers away.

They would temporarily seek refuge with Yu Daming.

For Yu Daming, this might be a good thing, provided he can provide enough resources to temporarily support so many people.

Neither the Fire Daimyo, nor the Wind Daimyo, nor the Earth Daimyo, nor even Konoha, Sunagakure, or Iwagakure would ever help him with this.

Despite having only a small territory, the Land of Rain has become the sixth largest ninja nation in the world, directly influencing the power struggles between the three major nations. From any perspective, neither the three daimyo nor the three kage want the Land of Rain to continue to maintain this title.

The Land of Rain without ninja villages would be the perfect Land of Rain, and such a Land of Rain would receive the full protection of the three daimyo.

On the scarred earth, Madara Uchiha's Susanoo stood firm.

It was covered in cracks.

The stubborn Wood Release technique is climbing back onto its body, binding it once more.

On the other hand, Susanoo's situation is much better.

Under the protection of the Susanoo, the basic structure of the Buddha remained unaffected.

Kinshiki Otsutsuki, separated by Susanoo, looked at the dense array of Wood Release techniques surrounding him, his eyes gleaming.

These Wood Release techniques are used to bind Susanoo, and also to bind him.

While sealed, he had no way to escape the cage relying solely on his physical strength.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up with a puzzled expression, where Madara Uchiha was located. However, the strange man was now frozen in place.

This made Kinshiki Otsutsuki suspect that he was being controlled by the space-time secret technique of the powerful native on the other side.

He had personally experienced the power of that spacetime secret technique.

To confirm his hypothesis, he struggled to wriggle his body and shake the "cage" that bound him, which was made of Susanoo's power.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki swore that his efforts had been effective, because he saw that Madara Uchiha's body also shifted slightly as Susanoo swayed.

That's all.

Madara Uchiha didn't even glance at him, remaining completely unmoved.

If Kinshiki Otsutsuki were able to raise his head even a tiny bit, he would probably see that the view reflected in Madara Uchiha's eyes was not the Susanoo in front of him.

At this moment, he was in a world where Uchiha Shingen, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and the tailed beasts coexisted.

Facing a character like Uchiha Madara, whose mental and willpower were so outrageously despicable, Uchiha Shingen showed no mercy. For the first time, he poured all his mental power into his spiritual world.

To this end, he fully activated his eye power, drawing in Madara Uchiha's spirit.

When he reappeared, Uchiha Shingen was already standing under the Chakra God Tree.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki sat next to him.

Ahead of them, a figure slowly took shape.

When Madara Uchiha, clad in armor and with his long hair flowing down his back, first appeared in this world, he did not immediately launch an attack as Shingen Uchiha had expected.

There were no actions that would affect his public image.

This person, who might be the reincarnation of the most outstanding Indra chakra in the history of the Uchiha clan, simply calmly observed his surroundings.

His gaze also swept over the tailed beasts that had also gathered together.

He then gave a special look at Sun Wukong and King Mu, which made them shrink back in surprise.

Although they didn't spend much time together, there's no doubt that Madara Uchiha will be a human that these two tailed beasts will never forget, even in death.

The last human like this was Hashirama Senju.

Ignoring the two cowards, Madara Uchiha's gaze finally focused on the man next to Shingen Uchiha.

Even he would be curious to see someone who insists on sitting on a ball no matter where he sits.

Especially that ball, it looks like a product of chakra.

"Hello, Uchiha Madara, I am Otsutsuki Hagoromo."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki maintained his smile as he looked at his descendant.

Indra's chakra reincarnation has always been difficult to deal with, and he was mentally prepared for that.

He wouldn't be surprised no matter what surprising things Madara Uchiha said next.

Then he saw that Madara Uchiha stopped looking at him and instead looked at Shingen Uchiha.

"That's it? This is the plan you came up with to convince me? To create an illusion to impersonate the ancestor of the Uchiha clan?"

Madara Uchiha looked at Shingen Uchiha, his tone filled with disappointment.

"Illusion magic is quite good, but if you have time to work on that, it's more effective to just attack directly."

Chapter 135 The Sage of Six Paths' Kung Fu is Really Not That Great

The Uchiha clan leader always gives the impression of adhering to tradition and likes to talk about how his family has always been like this and that.

But that's when the ancestors aren't in front of us.

If it were really in front of them, they would definitely act out their rebellious phase perfectly.

In any case, this was the first time that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had been ignored by his own descendants.

Madara Uchiha simply treated him as a fake person.

While it's true that he's just a mental projection, isn't it a bit much to say that he was created out of thin air?

Having lost face as a descendant of his ancestors, Hagoromo Otsutsuki felt it was necessary for him to clarify things.

“Uchiha Madara, you should trust your junior.” Otsutsuki Hagoromo floated forward imperceptibly, pushing Uchiha Shingen aside with a ball. “What you saw was not all an illusion. I am indeed the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, and you are my child.”

He smiled broadly, but when he mentioned that Uchiha Shingen was Uchiha Madara's junior, he couldn't help but make that connection.

If Madara Uchiha knew the truth, he would probably explode on the spot and chase after Shingen Uchiha to kill him.

After all, the person Madara Uchiha hated most was probably Senju Tobi.

Thousand-Handed Kite is exceptionally talented at inciting hatred.

If you don't survive well in the beginning and become strong enough later in this life, you can't avoid being hunted down for thousands of miles.

Because he was distracted, Hagoromo Otsutsuki didn't notice immediately, but Madara Uchiha's face darkened when he heard him say "child".

Madara Uchiha was a huge hypocrite and a serious chauvinist, but he was indeed a very filial son.

He harbors deep-seated prejudice against women in his profession, but this does not include his mother.

Incidentally, he gets angry at anyone who calls him "kid" except his mother.

As for his father, he never called him "child".

His father was an oddball; he always believed that children could become adults as soon as they were born, so he treated his brothers as adults from a young age.

Regardless, this guy who called himself Hagoromo Otsutsuki stirred up bad memories for him.

The Warring States period was known as a warrior clan because very few of its members died of old age.

At least Madara Uchiha's parents weren't.

"I'm giving you a chance. Say it again."

"Uchiha Madara said in a harsh voice."

He wasn't faking it; he was genuinely angry.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's expression froze for a moment before he realized the reason.

As the reincarnation of the former, he still had a good grasp of the continuity of his observations of reincarnated beings. He had witnessed Madara Uchiha's joy and sorrow back then.

but……

I'm your real ancestor, can't I even call you my child?

Your exes want me to call them names, but I won't!
