"The Rinnegan?" Hashirama looked completely bewildered. Madara Uchiha sneered, "Hashirama, you don't think I don't know how you were resurrected, do you? Using my Rinnegan to revive yourself, how despicable, Hashirama!!!"

"I'm useless," Hashirama complained, while Tobirama stepped forward speechlessly. "Alright, brother, this battle is unavoidable. Let's go call Lord Senju, or Konoha will really be destroyed this time."

"Don't worry, it's alright," Senju teleported to their side, and a dark figure appeared next to Madara Uchiha on the opposite side. "That's the person who stole the Rinnegan!"

"Hmph," Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, glancing at Black Zetsu with disdain. This guy had been nerfed to this extent; he truly didn't deserve to be his consciousness. Suddenly, Obito stepped forward. "Nagato, you guys actually came back to life! Those who forget their ideals don't deserve to live..."

“Obito, come back. Your so-called ideals are just an illusion,” the Third Hokage stepped forward and said in a deep voice. The surrounding ninjas immediately stared at the masked man. After realizing that his identity had been exposed, Obito took off his mask. “What’s wrong with an illusion? For me, a world without Rin is a nightmare. This time, I will destroy Konoha with my own hands.”

Chapter 1034 Chaotic Battle

"Obito! Why don't you repent?!" A mocking shout came from the Uchiha's side. The Uchiha were thinking that if Obito obediently admitted defeat, they might be willing to help this guy who was dragging them down.

Unfortunately, Obito also harbored deep resentment towards them, and sneered, "Repent? Do you people even know what repentance means? Soon, a new world will descend, but unfortunately, there will be no place for you Uchiha!"

"Alright, why bother with these good-for-nothings?" Madara Uchiha waved his hand dismissively, looking down on these Uchiha as well. "Kill everyone in Konoha and take back the Rinnegan! Also, dig out all the Sharingan from these traitors; I'll need them later!"

"Lord Madara!" The Uchiha members erupted in commotion. The situation, which had been subtly confrontational with Konoha, immediately changed. Sensing the killing intent, they began to focus their defenses on the large army outside.

"Great Fire Annihilation!" Madara Uchiha unleashed a massive burst of fire, and then Tobirama stepped forward, shouting, "Water Release: Water Barrier!"

However, Madara Uchiha clearly didn't want to fight Tobirama, so he directly summoned Susanoo. A huge blue energy body rose from the ground, and Madara Uchiha stood on the forehead of the huge energy body. Susanoo then drew its sword and swept it horizontally in this direction, saying, "Hashirama, come and fight me!"

"Fivefold Rashomon!" Hashirama summoned several gates to block the opponent's attack. "Wait, Madara, let's fight over there. This way..."

"Uh, they're making their move so soon?" Senju looked helpless on the side. He had wanted to brag a bit, but he was speechless at the sight of the huge energy sword coming at him. He raised his hand slightly and shouted, "Shinra Tensei!"

Madara Uchiha and his Susanoo were thrown away by Senju, and Hashirama ran after them, saying, "Thank you, Lord Senju!"

Senju was speechless for a moment. Watching the two of them, who were clearly in a bromance, run away into the distance, he decided to clear the area first. After all, Senju and Yuri were also standing on the rooftop over there, curiously watching the white army outside.

"Wow, that's amazing! It looks like a white radish!" Yuri exclaimed excitedly. Chito shook his head. "It's far from that. Let's go help them."

“No need, the Thousand Hands have already made their move,” Yuri said, taking out her camera and snapping pictures. “Wow, those radishes are flying!”

Upon seeing the two appear, Senju immediately unleashed his ultimate move, "Weakening: Earth Explosion Star Barrage!"

Small black spheres appeared above the White Zetsu army, and a swarm of White Zetsu flew up towards the newly appeared gravity source in the air. The Third Hokage ordered his subordinate ninjas to retreat quickly, but the Hidden Mist Village and the Edo Tensei ninjas immediately followed. The ground was a mess, and Obito could not stand seeing this.

"Kamui!" He attacked the gravity source in the air with his kaleidoscope, and the effect of Chibaku Tensei immediately disappeared, with a pile of white Zetsu and earth and rocks falling down from it.

Then the White Zetsu army attacked the village. The Konoha ninja were anxious and then more than a dozen of them were killed by the enemy.

Senju stood there speechlessly, unable to use his clearing skills because he was too close to the village. In desperation, he cast a protective shield over the village, blocking the chaotic attacks.

Seeing that the village was safe, the ninjas were relieved. However, Senju felt that without the addition of their own clan's strength, their victory was uncertain.

It's not a high score, considering the significant power disparity between the two sides.

Of course, the people of Konoha did not give up at all, because they knew that they had the existence of the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju. They were just waiting for the First Hokage to kill Madara Uchiha. It would be a piece of cake for him to come back and deal with these small fry. Moreover, they still had the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and Jiraiya!

However, looking at the battle between Hashirama and Madara Uchiha in the distance, with meteorites falling and giants clashing, it was a scene of gods fighting. Senju felt that he should act more civilly. Seeing that there were no Konoha ninjas among the large group of White Zetsu, Senju snapped his fingers, and a spirit slash swept through the White Zetsu army, killing hundreds of White Zetsu. Then, Senju had the Third Hokage gather the Konoha ninjas together, while Senju went outside to mow down the grass.

If Yuri hadn't suddenly intervened, the war would have ended much sooner. Yuri jumped up from the rooftop and poured out a bunch of radishes, fruits, and vegetables from her ring. "Um, what's the spell again? Anyway, get moving and wipe out all those white ones!"

Strands of magic emanated from Yuri's body and attached themselves to the large pile of fruits and vegetables, which then transformed into a cluster of emerald green 'wood elves'. However, their appearance was vastly different from the ninjas here; they looked like foreigners with a bunch of branches.

However, this gave Senju a bit of an idea: summoning puppets was still a pretty good tactic. He slammed his hand on the ground, "Earth Elemental Puppet!"

Rows of clay figures rose from the ground and were then revived by the magic of the Thousand Hands. They fought with the White Zetsu there, but the usual result was that the earth elementals and the White Zetsu would embrace each other and perish together, leaving behind a pile of dirt and a tree.

As the Senju continued to summon, the White Zetsu army quickly transformed into a forest. The battle on the other side was also fierce. The Konoha ninjas were unable to break away from the battle. The Third Hokage led the villagers and the reanimated ninjas and Kirigakure ninjas in a fight. The situation was relatively stable, and the entire army would not be wiped out for the time being.

Because Kakashi went to a meeting with Minato, Tobirama and Obito were locked in a fierce battle. Although Tobirama knew everything about Obito, his space-time abilities were too overpowered, and he couldn't defeat Obito in time.

"Summoning Jutsu!" In this situation, everyone started summoning their pets, and the scene became even more out of control. In particular, the giant toad summoned by Jiraiya was fiercely fighting against the reanimated ninjas. Senju, who was guarding the side, felt that it would be easier to just wipe them all out and then revive them.

"Oh right," Senju clapped his hands. Although he couldn't use Annihilation or Intimidation, Hashirama still had a very useful skill, "Advent of the Flower Tree World!"

Countless vines burst forth from the ground, then blossomed into enormous pink flowers at their tips, followed by a deluge of pollen. Konoha ninjas who recognized this technique immediately held their breath, but unfortunately, it was a Senju technique, far more powerful. Soon, everyone on the battlefield fell, with only Obito and Tobirama escaping.

Seeing the calm on the field, Senju nodded in satisfaction. "Not bad, the enemy has been completely wiped out this time."

"..." Tobirama, who had escaped using the Flying Thunder God Technique, didn't know what to say. Senju, seeing his worried expression, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, they've just passed out. But I'm more worried about Minato now."

Chapter 1035 Laboratory

“Minato should be fine. All the enemy’s forces are here,” Tobirama shook his head. “Besides, Minato also has one of his brother’s wooden clones. Even if there are enemies, they can probably cover their retreat.”

"I see," Senju nodded, dispelling the Flower Tree Boundary. Then, speechless, he watched as the resurrected ninjas were wreaking havoc. "..."

This humiliating scene infuriated Senju. He impaled the reanimated ninjas with a bunch of black rods, then ran over and woke up the Konoha ninjas, ordering them to move the corpses over. Senju then used resurrection techniques on the dead and had them deal with the unconscious enemies.

Although the Konoha ninjas were surprised, they immediately shut up when they saw Chito and Yuri running to Senju's side. They carefully executed the White Zetsu and then captured the Kirigakure ninjas. After all, they knew about the recent Five Kage Summit and the orders from Tobirama and the Third Hokage, which prevented Kirigakure from being wiped out.

After reviving a group of people, Senju materialized a set of Truth-Seeking Balls and then aimed at the blue Susanoo that was being held down by Hashirama's wooden giant in the distance. He shot Madara Uchiha through the Susanoo with one arrow, and the Susanoo immediately exploded. A moment later, Hashirama came over with Madara Uchiha, who was bound tightly.

"Lord Senju, may I show that intelligence to Madara?" Hashirama asked Senju with some excitement. Senju nodded, "Of course, feel free to do so."

"Damn it, my Rinnegan!" Madara Uchiha yelled, staring at Senju's eyes. Senju grabbed a radish and stuffed it into Madara's mouth, then waved to Hashirama, "Go, go, I'm here. There won't be any dead."

"Thank you, sir," Hashirama said gratefully, then happily walked away with Madara. Senju glanced at the battlefield, shook his head slightly, treated a group of people, and then went home with Yuri Sento. Let the people of Konoha worry about the rest.

For the next few days, Senju lived quietly at home with the two of them, while also collecting ninjutsu and bloodlines from various families, including the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.

He copied them all, but Senju felt that collecting them this way was too slow. He planned to make a big move and collect all the ninjutsu and bloodlines here.

The ninja world was also in turmoil. During the Five Kage Summit, the Mizukage Yagura of Kirigakure launched a surprise attack on Minato. The other Kage were shocked and couldn't understand why the Mizukage had suddenly gone mad. Wasn't he afraid of being punished by the other forces?

However, without Minato's intervention, a masked member of the Anbu beside him easily subdued the attackers. But in full view of everyone, the Mizukage died, casting a shadow over the Five Kage Summit before it even officially began.

Then the Three-Tails jumped out of the Mizukage's body. The ANBU who had subdued the Mizukage used Wood Release to subdue the Three-Tails. However, the people next to them gaped, saying that this looked exactly like the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju!

The elderly Tsuchikage, in particular, was trembling with fear. The other Kage exchanged glances and immediately understood each other's thoughts. Konoha was hiding its true intentions too well, and they decided to carefully observe the contents of this tournament.

Minato then explained that the Mizukage was controlled by an evil enemy using illusion magic, which is why he carried out those perverse actions in the Land of Water. Now, because he found information about the mastermind behind it all, the Mizukage was being manipulated and attacked.

The other three Kage wanted to say something, but in the end they remained silent, looking at the information Minato had brought, no longer paying attention to the 'Anbu' who was using Wood Release to capture the Three-Tails.

After reading the intelligence, the three Kage were not convinced that the world was going to be destroyed. They thought Minato was exaggerating and disagreed with forming an alliance. Hashirama, on the other hand, took the initiative to reveal his true colors and sincerely persuaded the Kage, but they still did not want to agree and argued with Minato.

Not to mention the few ninja villages that were honestly arguing with Konoha, the Senju were also very annoyed. Hashirama would come over every day, wanting the Senju to revive Madara so that the two of them could contribute to the world together. Madara, who was captured at first, was somewhat disdainful, but after learning that the Senju could revive people who had died long ago, he learned Hashirama's smiling face and wanted the Senju to help revive his younger brother Izuna.

But Senju didn't want to help him at all. Knowing that Uchiha Madara was shouting that the Rinnegan was his, Senju revived him and Uchiha Izuna to prevent others from saying that she was taking advantage of him.

After seeing his younger brother resurrected, Madara Uchiha decided to hunt down Black Zetsu, the strange creature who dared to deceive him. He was determined to kill Black Zetsu and wash away the shame of being deceived.

Senju didn't bother with him anymore, and another group of Kirigakure members arrived in Konoha, led by the Fifth Mizukage, Zabuza Momochi. Although he was not yet twenty years old, he was already a renowned ninja and had been elected by the village to become the new Mizukage.

They came to bring back prisoners. In return, Kirigakure decided to join the coalition forces formed by Konoha and become Konoha's first ally. Several Hokage also had a good impression of Zabuza Momochi, so they formed an alliance with Kirigakure with generous terms.

While conducting various diplomatic activities, Orochimaru contacted the Senju clan, saying that he had found several like-minded companions and had also collected several 'orphans' and criminals with various bloodlines, as well as a large number of magical items. He wanted the Senju clan to appraise them and exchange some items.

So Senju went over and saw a bewildered Nuko among the 'Fantastic Beasts'. Nuko had been helping Orochimaru operate various instruments and was Orochimaru's most treasured summoning beast, known as the Mechanical Snake.

So Senju put it away and then looked at the experiment being conducted here. The main topic here seemed to be the fusion of bloodlines to create a bloodline limit and artificially create the bodies of the Otsutsuki clan.

Then he introduced the initiator of the project to Senju, but Senju was speechless when he realized that this guy was none other than Tobirama. Although he had transformed, Senju did not give him any warning, but instead watched the show.

The shape-shifting Tobirama calls himself Hibiki. Orochimaru is captivated by his various theories and he quickly becomes an important figure in the research lab. Orochimaru even introduced him into the research on the Rinnegan, and he is now considered the number two person in this lab. However, Senju is very curious about how he manages to balance Konoha and this place. Is it the Flying Thunder God Technique or a clone?

Another rogue ninja from Konoha was Hiruko, who loved researching ninjutsu and conducting experiments. His goal was to fuse various bloodlines, so he carried out many forbidden experiments. Then Orochimaru brought him over to be used as a sample for studying bloodline fusion. Of course, Hiruko was unaware of this.

Chapter 1036 Bloodline and Soul

With the 'help' of Orochimaru and Tobirama, he fused with many bloodlines and felt he was about to become invincible. However, Orochimaru and Tobirama looked at him with admiration, thinking he was a good prospect.

However, Senju didn't have much approval for this forbidden technique called "Kira-ga". Although Orochimaru and Tobirama believed that this technique had the potential to turn something rotten into something magical, it was still too crude and too dangerous. Even the two experts in forbidden techniques didn't want to try it.

Of course, Senju didn't use that. He performed "cannibalism" for a few people, analyzed the various bloodline types he had collected, and then vomited up the people he had eaten. Then, with the combined deductions of the Great Sage, he learned about the advanced forms of these bloodlines.

Senju casually tapped Orochimaru's forehead, transferring his knowledge of bloodline limits to him. Orochimaru looked confused for a moment, then...

To their surprise, "What is this?!"

"Hmm, I guess you could call it an evolution of a bloodline limit," a ball of black fire rose from Senju's fingertips, which was a scorching release, then it turned into a magma ball, a high-temperature steam ball, a solution ball, and then into a glowing cube.

“Bloodline limit elimination?! Dust Release, huh?” Several researchers murmured to themselves, secretly thinking that this was not the bloodline limit they had collected at all. Senju nodded, “There’s more than that, there’s also this.”

A Truth-Seeking Ball appeared from the tip of a thousand fingers, and then the space around them began to open and close at will. The group of people around them gaped in disbelief. They knew how rare space-time ninjutsu was, and they never expected a bloodline that could manipulate space so casually.

However, among the researchers nearby, one who seemed perfectly normal was screaming inwardly, "It's the Truth-Seeking Ball! He's achieved Bloodline Limits! How is this possible?!"

This person was actually a White Zetsu in disguise, but Senju didn't pay attention to the researchers around him, and because the other party was deliberately hiding, Senju didn't notice.

"This is... a Truth-Seeking Ball?" Tobirama said cautiously, while Hiruzen, standing beside him, was taken aback. "A Truth-Seeking Ball? What's that?"

"Ahem," Tobirama cleared his throat. "That's a technique only the Sage of Six Paths knows. It's a high-density chakra creation made by combining Yin-Yang Release with the power of the Five Elements. It contains the power of all things in the universe. Without the power of the Sage of Six Paths, it would turn into nothingness if touched by Truth-Seeking Balls. I've only seen it recorded in books. I never thought someone could actually create it."

"The power of all things in the universe? Is it stronger than my Demon Sprout?" Hiruko was somewhat unconvinced. He felt that as long as he fused with the Sharingan, he would definitely be stronger than this.

"Is that so? But judging from your experiment, you're only missing a Sharingan, right? I'll give you something even more advanced," Senju showed him the Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan and then handed him a pair of Rinnegan.

"What is this?!" But after receiving these eyes, Hiruko immediately shed tears of regret. A powerful shockwave erupted from his body, but his form began to crack, with wisps of red light inside, making him look like he was about to perish.

"What is this?!" Hiruko rolled around and found a mirror, then looked at her own eyes. "This is... the Rinnegan?! The eyes of the Sage of Six Paths! Why is this happening?!"

The researchers nearby also realized that the existence of the Rinnegan had directly destroyed the bloodline he had fused with. Hiruko's life force was almost drained, and his bloodline began to backfire. The Demon Sprout Technique was indeed seriously flawed.

"Alright, stop howling," Senju said, seeing that he was about to die, he finally came to his rescue. With a wave of his hand, he turned his eyes back to normal eyes, while the Rinnegan was directly destroyed by Senju, which made the people around him feel very sorry.

Looking at his Rinnegan, now reduced to ashes, Hiruko felt immense regret. He had the opportunity to obtain the Sage's Eye, but his shortsightedness led him to fuse with too many low-level bloodlines, preventing him from fusing with higher-level ones and thus cutting off his path to godhood.

Ignoring Hiruko's rolling around, Senju then looked at Orochimaru and said, "I'm very satisfied with what I got this time. This time, I can exchange it for two thousand years of lifespan."

"I don't need lifespan for now," Orochimaru shook his head. Perhaps because he had no worries about lifespan, his temperament changed from cold and gloomy to calm and unrestrained. "A thousand years is enough for me to conduct research, but I am still very interested in all kinds of knowledge."

"Knowledge," Senju nodded at him, "I was worried that after you gained immortality, you would forget to pursue it. This is good, at least your soul will not decay and deteriorate."

"Can the soul decay?!" Orochimaru's expression shifted drastically. Senju nodded. "That's right. Not only does the body have a lifespan, but the soul does too. I've seen someone who lived for hundreds of years. His soul had decayed. He had completely forgotten why he was alive and what he used to be like. He was just living for the sake of living."

"That's quite interesting," Orochimaru chuckled dryly, though he didn't believe he would become like that, given his strong will.

Senju shrugged and tapped Orochimaru's forehead. "Interesting, isn't it? Feel it for yourself. Genjutsu: Soul Rot."

Under Senju's necromancy, Orochimaru's soul seemed to suddenly decay, with wisps of black energy emanating from it. Senju took a step back in disgust, and those around him also felt that Orochimaru had suddenly become very repulsive.

Orochimaru's appearance also became very strange. He was talking nonsense, and his eyes were glowing with a blood-red light. Although he was a healthy body, strange spots appeared on it, and he looked like he was turning into a monster.

"Alright, release!" Senju snapped his fingers, dispelling the spell. Orochimaru, now fully conscious, immediately knelt on the ground, retching. "Damn it, damn it, is this my future?! I absolutely will not allow it! My soul must live forever!"

"Lord Senju, do you have a solution?" After pounding the ground for a while, Orochimaru suddenly stood up, looked at Senju seriously, and said, "I want to exchange for the knowledge of immortality for the soul!"

“No problem, no problem,” Senju nodded, then his gaze passed through a layer of space. “After all, there are immortal souls here that have existed for thousands of years. The Sage of Six Paths’ soul has been watching you all along, right, Hagoromo Otsutsuki?”

"..." The Otsutsuki hiding in the underworld

Yu Yi's soul was speechless for a moment, because he saw Senju's eyes, heard Senju's words, and felt Senju's invitation. He sighed and walked out of the underworld, "Alas, I didn't expect that someone would still remember this old man."
