Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

To the astonishment of both the Uchiha clone and Zero-Tails, even a small portion of the dark emotion generated a massive amount of dark chakra that rapidly expanded like a balloon.

Upon seeing this, Zero-Tail excitedly absorbed it into its body, and then let out a hysterical scream.

The dark chakra that it had just absorbed into its body began to absorb its own dark chakra in return. It tried to resist, but found it was useless.

"As expected, an unexpected incident occurred."

Upon seeing this, the Uchiha clone spoke with a grim face, then clapped his hands together and used the Adamantine Sealing Technique, creating two chakra chains with Sage Mode chakra to quickly bind Zero-Tails' body.

At this moment, the Rinnegan, which was entangled by Zero-Tails, emitted a bewitching purple light and suddenly began to move around as if it were alive.

If it weren't for the Uchiha clones using the Adamantine Sealing Chains to bind the Zero-Tails, it would have already broken free of its restraints.

"Hurry up and transfer the dark emotion you just obtained out, you idiot."

After the Uchiha clone finished binding with the Adamantine Sealing Chains, he immediately reprimanded Zero.

Thanks to the help of the Uchiha clone, Zero-Tails finally gained some ability to fight against the Rinnegan. Although it still desperately wanted to devour the dark chakra formed from the dark emotions of the Rinnegan, its fear of it had outweighed its greed.

Because it had just clearly sensed that without that damned human's help, it would have been completely devoured by that eye, leaving not a trace.

This eye has the power to kill it completely.

In retrospect, it turns out that it was the prey that was actually there.

Zero-Tails dared not be negligent. He separated a black tentacle and wrapped it around the Sharingan, using it as a channel to transform the terrifying dark chakra he had just absorbed back into dark emotions, and then painstakingly transported it into the Sharingan.

The reason it was difficult was that it discovered that the terrifying eye it was entangled with was violently resisting, trying to reclaim that dark emotion.

What exactly is that eye? It can fight against it on instinct alone, and with the help of that powerful human.

Fortunately, it ultimately lacked its own consciousness and did not know how to use its power flexibly. Relying solely on instinct was insufficient to withstand the combined attack of the creature and that despicable human.

On the other side, the three-tomoe Sharingan inside the glass container is rapidly changing appearance after absorbing the dark emotions from the Rinnegan.

In fact, it was just one step away from evolving into the Mangekyou Sharingan. It had already accumulated enough experience, and all it lacked was a key to turn quantitative change into qualitative change. The dark emotion in the Rinnegan that carried Madara Uchiha's extreme despair was undoubtedly that key.

In just a few seconds, this Sharingan, which was originally only a three-tomoe Sharingan, successfully underwent a qualitative change and evolved into a true Mangekyou Sharingan.

The three-tomoe pattern inside had now turned into an inverted triangle, and its entire eye was glowing with a bewitching red light, making it look like the Rinnegan, possessing sentience and no longer just a simple organ.

"Hahaha~, it worked! My idea was right after all. With Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, I have the possibility of mass-producing Mangekyou Sharingan, and I can even use it to create my own Rinnegan."

Kirito looked at the newly formed Mangekyou Sharingan in the glass container, his face immediately lit up with surprise, and he laughed loudly.

Meanwhile, in the Land of Waterfalls, at the new headquarters of the old Root organization, Madara Uchiha, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. His right Rinnegan was experiencing a sharp pain, and a tear of blood flowed from his eye socket.

"Ah~, what's going on? Why is my Rinnegan suddenly in pain?"

Madara Uchiha covered his Rinnegan with his hand and said with a pained expression.

"Lord Madara, are you alright? What happened to your Rinnegan?"

"Black Zetsu, hidden in Madara's sleeve, asked anxiously."

Madara Uchiha can die, but the Rinnegan cannot be damaged.

Madara Uchiha had no idea what was going on. He discovered that the Rinnegan in his body was perfectly fine, but it was inexplicably starting to hurt.

"Tohsaka Kirito, it must be him. He must have done something to my other Rinnegan that made this Rinnegan in my body sense it."

Soon, Madara Uchiha realized the reason for the abnormality of his Rinnegan and said through gritted teeth.

In an instant, a strong anger arose in his heart, and he wished he could rush to Konoha and tear Kirito Tohsaka, that bastard who dared to do bad things to his Rinnegan, to pieces.

"It's him! What did that bastard do to make Lord Madara's Rinnegan sense him? Did he destroy another type of Rinnegan?"

Black Zetsu continued to ask anxiously.

Although having only one Rinnegan is enough to activate the Eye of the Moon Project, having two eyes is ultimately safer.

"No, my other Rinnegan is still there. Go, get Orochimaru here. I've sensed the location of the other Rinnegan; it's in the northwest."

Despite the pain, Madara Uchiha spoke angrily.

Black Zetsu immediately did as instructed.

A short while later, Orochimaru appeared in front of Madara Uchiha. At this time, Orochimaru had already returned to his original form.

He looked at Madara Uchiha's Sharingan, which was shedding blood and tears, and was immediately filled with intense curiosity. However, he could also tell that Madara Uchiha was in a terrible mood and dared not provoke this madman.

So, he said expressionlessly, "Chief, what are your orders?"

"Orochimaru, go to the Northwest right now and go with him."

Madara Uchiha gave the order directly.

Orochimaru was slightly displeased with Madara Uchiha's tone of commanding his subordinates, but considering that this guy still held his life in his hands, he obediently followed orders and bowed his head to reply, "Yes."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an old man with both the Rinnegan and the Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly emerged from the ground, staring at Orochimaru with eyes devoid of any emotion.

Orochimaru looked at the old ninja in front of him and was shocked. The old ninja was very knowledgeable and familiar with the leaders of the major ninja villages.

The old ninja in front of him was clearly the Third Mizukage of Kirigakure. Although his appearance had changed somewhat, he was certain that it was the same person and he was sure that he had not mistaken him for someone else.

What power did Madara Uchiha use to bring this powerful ninja back to life after his death, and even grant him the power of the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan?

Chapter 326: The Otsutsuki Clan on the Moon

Deep within the moon, in a place where a huge purple Tenseigan is placed, a pale-skinned, blue-haired boy sits cross-legged on it. His eyes are closed, he is motionless, and even his breathing is barely perceptible, as if his whole being has returned to death.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of dull, lifeless white eyes.

These are white eyes that have lost their sight.

However, the blue-haired boy seemed to be able to see that direction, turning his gaze to a certain discovery, and muttered, "There are spatial fluctuations again over at the ancestral land..."

His name was Ōtsutsuki Toneri, and he was the last descendant of the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon.

Years ago, the Otsutsuki clan on the moon rebelled, and the main family was destroyed by the branch family. However, in order to destroy the main family, which possessed the power of a giant Tenseigan, most of the branch family members sacrificed their Byakugan and their own lives to create the giant Tenseigan beneath him.

He was spared from suffering scorn and death because of his congenital disability.

Although the Divided Family won that battle, it came at a huge cost. Even worse, the already fragile ecosystem on the moon collapsed, triggering numerous disasters and causing countless members of the tribe to die from accidents and starvation.

Because of his own strength and luck in gaining the favor of the giant purple Tenseigan, he survived once again.

Now, he is both the last descendant of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon and the master of the moon, shouldering the heavy responsibility of overseeing the ninja world.

Ever since the Gedo Mazo was accidentally summoned away, their clan has been paying close attention to the movements of the ninja world, wanting to retrieve the Gedo Mazo. They are able to do this thanks to the power of the giant Tenseigan.

The giant Tenseigan has a long-range observation range that is countless times stronger than white light. Even if the moon is very far away from the ninja world, it can still monitor every move in the ninja world.

As the newly appointed Inspector, Toneri saw magnificent scenery he had never seen before thanks to the giant Tenseigan, but he also gained a deep understanding of how turbulent the ninja world beneath the moon was and how greedy and belligerent humans were.

In his view, humans should not exist and should be exterminated.

However, with the giant Tenseigan, he also discovered that the ninja world had a powerful protective force, and even with the power of the giant Tenseigan, it was impossible for him to destroy the ninja world.

Moreover, there are some incredibly powerful ninjas in the ninja world right now. Without the power of the giant Tenseigan, he might not even be qualified to take these people seriously, let alone eliminate them.

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is most likely in the hands of that Rinnegan ninja named Uchiha Madara. This guy is extremely powerful and cunning. It would be difficult for me to eliminate him on my own. However, he is a madman and will eventually destroy himself and even the ninja world. That would be a good thing."

After discovering that the spatial fluctuations had mysteriously disappeared once again, Toneri closed his eyes again and focused his attention on the giant Tenseigan, using it to continue monitoring the movements of Uchiha Madara in the ninja world.

The ninja world has many very powerful sealing techniques that can block the Byakugan's vision. Even the Tenseigan has difficulty breaking through their shield.

Therefore, even with his giant Tenseigan, it was difficult for him to fully grasp the entire ninja world.

The reason he can monitor Madara Uchiha with the Giant Tenseigan at all times is because there is a vague connection between the Rinnegan and the Tenseigan, which allows him to greatly narrow down the scope of observation and then quickly find Madara Uchiha with the help of the Giant Tenseigan.

"Hmm~, another ninja with the Rinnegan. Who is he?"

A moment later, the attendant said in surprise.

Meanwhile, in the ninja world, above the Land of Waterfall, Madara Uchiha controlled Pain, created by the Third Mizukage, to sit atop a giant eagle summoned by a summoning technique. Beside him was Orochimaru, who was using a transformation jutsu to disguise himself.

"It's that feeling of being spied on again."

Madara Uchiha keenly sensed that he was being watched, and then subconsciously looked up at the cloud-covered sky, a cold glint flashing in his Rinnegan.

Ever since he re-transplanted the Rinnegan into himself, he has had a vague feeling of being watched whenever he goes out, but he has not been able to find the person watching him.

He initially thought he was just being paranoid, until he told Black Zetsu about it and learned from Black Zetsu that there were descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon, and that the Gedo Mazo was being guarded by them.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the person spying on him is from the Otsutsuki clan in the sky. They are descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura and inherited the power of the Byakugan. They may have some way of spying on the ninja world from the moon.

"Hmph, once I complete the Eye of the Moon Project, the moon will be useless, and then I'll settle accounts with you."

Madara Uchiha once again handed down a death sentence to the Otsutsuki clan on the moon in his mind.

On the moon, Toneri was startled to see Uchiha Madara looking up at the sky. He quickly severed his connection with the giant Tenseigan and dared not continue spying on Uchiha Madara.

With just one glance, he felt dizzy and hallucinated. Fortunately, he had the power of the giant Tenseigan to help him break free from the hallucinations in an instant.

"The Rinnegan is indeed powerful. As expected of the Sage's Eyes held by the Sage of Six Paths as described in the book, its power is incomparably strong. Although the power of the Giant Tenseigan is equally strong, I can only mobilize a part of it. To fully mobilize it, I might need to possess the Tenseigan as well."

Only in this way can I possibly contend with the wielder of the Rinnegan and snatch the Gedo Mazo back from him.

Sheren shook his head and sighed softly.

His talent was exceptional among his clansmen. Even though his Byakugan was congenitally flawed, he still mastered many powerful ninjutsu with his outstanding chakra sensing and control, thus standing out among his peers. In the end, he even gained the favor of the giant purple Tenseigan and became its chakra master.

However, he was born with a deficiency and needed to acquire a pair of exceptional Byakugan in order to inherit the power of the giant Tenseigan and its inherent techniques.

The Byakugan is nothing special among the Otsutsuki clan on the moon; it's quite common because every member of the clan is born with it, unlike the clan in the ninja world whose bloodline has severely degenerated.

Even so, high-purity Byakugan is not easy to obtain. Before the Ōtsutsuki clan, which resides on the moon, perished, only a very few members of the main family could possess it.

Now that the main branch of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon has been wiped out, it is impossible for him to obtain a pair of high-purity Byakugan. Moreover, he is now the only Otsutsuki clan member left here.

The only way for him to obtain a high-purity Byakugan is to go to the ninja world and get it from his distant relatives, the Hyuga clan.

Unfortunately, he discovered through his giant Tenseigan that the Hyuga clan's bloodline in Konoha had degenerated so severely that none of them possessed a pair of high-purity Byakugan suitable for him.

"I wonder who this person is. His Byakugan is quite fitting. Although it has mutated, its purity is very high, and it is already evolving in the direction of Tenseigan."

With a thought, Sheren used his giant Tenseigan to shift his gaze to Amegakure, then fixed it on the top floor of a tall tower.

Hattori Masanari, the new leader of Amegakure.

During one of his surveillance sessions with Madara Uchiha, he discovered that this person possessed a pair of Byakugan of extremely high purity. He was both surprised and delighted at the time, but after witnessing firsthand just how powerful this person was, he lost the desire to seize the Byakugan.

With the power of his giant Tenseigan, he can control puppets to fight from a distance, and then secretly travel to the ninja world using the spacetime array of his ancestral land.

However, if the distance is too great, the puppet's strength will be severely affected. He roughly estimated that he was no match for the new leader of Amegakure who clearly possessed the power of sage techniques.
