Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

“The ancestral land has been experiencing frequent spatial fluctuations lately. Perhaps before long, even if I don’t go to the ninja world, someone will find me.”

When Sheren thought of the spacetime passage in the ancestral land, he suddenly remembered the spatial fluctuations that had just occurred and mocked himself.

He wasn't stupid; how could he not know that something was amiss? But he was the only one left of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, so he had nothing to fear. At worst, he would just die.

In fact, if the Grand Elder hadn't begged him before his death, and if the remaining clansmen hadn't entrusted him with their hopes of survival, he would have long since given up on life.

Of course, he didn't really want to die. If he could go to the ninja world and travel around it before he died, that would be a very good thing.

He was quite looking forward to seeing who would come here from the time portal of his ancestral homeland.

Although the spacetime tunnel of the ancestral land is not damaged, the energy required to open it once is considerable. Even if the giant Tenseigan can afford it, it is still a huge burden for the giant Tenseigan. It takes a long time to recover after opening it once.

Therefore, he will not actively open the space-time channel unless absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, in Konoha, beneath the Sealing Team building, in a massive underground space where Kirito conducted his spacetime tunnel experiment, a new spacetime tunnel experiment had just concluded.

At this moment, the flesh puppet controlled by Kirito is in a new and much larger and more complex spacetime magic circle. Like the other members of the sealing team around the spacetime magic circle, he has a joyful smile on his face.

After nearly half a year of research, he finally succeeded in creating a feasible spacetime magic array.

Previously, thanks to Kushina's reminder, he spent more than a month working with Kushina, Minato and other excellent sealing ninjas to program the computer and create a set of sealing jutsu operation programs for easy calculation, thereby saving a lot of calculation time for the newly developed spacetime magic circle.

Finally, a spacetime magic array capable of running all 108 load-bearing pillars at once was created. Thanks to its numerical advantage, the spacetime magic array was finally able to operate normally without worrying about the load-bearing pillars collapsing under the pressure of operation.

If there's a downside, it's that it consumes several times more chakra than before.

"It's finally a success! The Sharingan evolution experiment on the Uchiha clone's side has also been successful. It's a double celebration!"

In the underground laboratory of the orphanage, Kirito himself spoke with a smile on his face.

If the spacetime magic array succeeds, then his plan to seize the giant Tenseigan and evolve the Byakugan into the Tenseigan can continue, and there is a very high chance that he will obtain a pair of Tenseigan within the next two years.

The successful experiment of artificially evolving the Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan gave him hope of creating his own Rinnegan.

However, unlike the Tenseigan, it is unlikely that he can achieve success with the Rinnegan in a short time. After all, Madara Uchiha only managed to awaken the Rinnegan after ten thousand years. Even if he gathers all the conditions to evolve the Sharingan into the Rinnegan, it will probably take him a very long time to succeed.

Unless he gathers all the tailed beasts and has the help of the Gedo Mazo, it is impossible to significantly shorten the time required for the Rinnegan to be born.

Like the Tenseigan, the Rinnegan also requires a massive amount of energy to evolve.

If there were no giant Tenseigan on the moon, his planned Tenseigan would not have been able to succeed in a short time.

"The Tenseigan and the Rinnegan are ultimately mutually exclusive; one cannot have both. There is still more than a year left, so I will take it one step at a time. For now, all I can do is my best and leave the rest to fate."

Kirito thought about the activation conditions for the two ultimate eye techniques, shook his head, and said with some regret.

As it stands, he can only focus most of his energy on the Tenseigan, while the Rinnegan is up to luck.

By utilizing Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, the Sharingan can undergo artificial evolution. He now indeed possesses the ability to mass-produce Mangekyou Sharingan, since his cloning technology can already clone Sharingan.

Although cloned Sharingan are basically useless with little potential, if there are many of them, some clones with good potential will eventually emerge. These cloned Sharingan can evolve into Mangekyou Sharingan, and these Mangekyou Sharingan can naturally fuse with each other without the possibility of rejection or failure.

In this way, if he combines the chakra of Indra and Ashura that he possesses to form the power of all things, then he can truly allow the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan formed from clones to evolve into the Rinnegan.

The thought of being able to artificially create the Rinnegan filled Kirito with a sense of pride. He really wanted to know what kind of expression Madara Uchiha would have when he pulled out his Rinnegan and faced him head-on in the future.

He thought that would be a really great expression.

……

Half an hour later, in the Land of Demons, deep within the Sky Ninja Flying Fortress.

The Uchiha clone has just completed the transplant of a Mangekyou Sharingan.

The moment the transplant was completed, he felt the negative impact of the deep darkness from the Mangekyou Sharingan, which gave rise to a despairing feeling of wanting to destroy everything.

But with his strong willpower, he easily suppressed it. The darkness in the Mangekyou Sharingan was far inferior to Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan and could not possibly have any effect on him.

After the suppression was completed, the Uchiha clone quickly adapted to the Mangekyou Sharingan, which was evolved from a clone of Uchiha Madara's Sharingan, and then obtained some interesting eye techniques from it.

Chapter 327: A Crazy Plan

The Mangekyou Sharingan grants two techniques to Uchiha clones: Susanoo and Susanoo.

Susanoo is a unique eye technique of this Mangekyou Sharingan. Its effect is to strengthen Susanoo. It can temporarily upgrade the form of Susanoo by one level and greatly enhance the various abilities of Susanoo.

"This Mangekyou Sharingan originally belonged to a clone of Uchiha Madara. Now it has evolved by acquiring the dark emotions from Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan. That means the eye technique of this Mangekyou Sharingan is very likely a unique eye technique of one of Uchiha Madara's original Mangekyou Sharingan."

The Uchiha clone carefully comprehended the two eye techniques granted by the Mangekyou Sharingan and made connections.

In an instant, he had the urge to immediately try out the two eye techniques of this Mangekyou Sharingan, wanting to see just how powerful Madara Uchiha was in his Mangekyou Sharingan state.

Know yourself and know your enemy.

Madara Uchiha, that old schemer, basically fought him using Susanoo in his previous battles, but that Susanoo was obviously not his limit, because he had not yet obtained the Rinnegan at that time.

Now that he has regained the Rinnegan, with the help of Susanoo's unique eye technique, his Susanoo form can be further improved. Perhaps at that time, Susanoo will truly be a god of destruction.

However, he quickly regained his composure.

More than testing this, he now wanted to know what the unique eye technique of Madara Uchiha's other Mangekyou Sharingan was.

His gaze immediately returned to Zero Tail, only to find that this chakra creature formed from dark chakra had become extremely weak, looking as if it had exhausted itself. Even when he looked at it now, it did not have much of an effect.

This nonchalant attitude of giving up made him frown slightly.

"Alright, there's no rush. According to the news from the main body, the spacetime array is complete and we can go to the moon at any time. My focus should shift from here to the Tenseigan."

Upon seeing this, the Uchiha clone pondered for a moment and then abandoned the idea of ​​forcing Zero-Tails to continue acting.

Next, he began packing his things. The first thing he had to do was to reseal the Rinnegan. After Zero-Tails stole some of the power from this eye with his special ability, it not only did not behave itself, but instead became increasingly rebellious.

However, losing a portion of its power eventually weakened it, and no matter how strongly it resisted, it could not break free from the chakra chains formed by Sage Chakra.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the laboratory.

The Uchiha clone, who was about to reinstall the Rinnegan into the sealed ninja tool, suddenly became alert and rushed to a large screen. He then discovered that a giant eagle was rapidly approaching the flying fortress.

The Uchiha clone quickly operated the keyboard below the screen, instantly enlarging the image of the giant eagle without losing any clarity, allowing him to clearly see the two people on the giant eagle.

"The Third Mizukage, no, it should be said that it was Pain's clone created by Madara Uchiha using the power of the Rinnegan. He actually came here. It seems that he sensed it immediately after the Rinnegan was unsealed. There is indeed a connection between the two Rinnegan."

Who is this person next to him? I've never seen him before, but his demeanor is very similar to that guy I already killed.

The Uchiha clone looked at the two people on the big screen, his expression turning serious.

The two people on the screen were extremely well-hidden, and his senses detected them completely. Fortunately, he knew early on that Madara Uchiha might have developed a ninjutsu that could counter his soul perception and natural energy perception, so he spent a lot of money to install surveillance cameras near the flying fortress.

The ninja world's current technological capabilities are actually quite good. However, because the ninjas are too powerful, the technology has been misdirected, with technology leaning towards civilian use and not being developed in the direction of weapons. However, things like surveillance cameras have already been invented.

Without hesitation, the Uchiha clone decisively stored the Rinnegan into a sealing ninja tool, then attached two Sage Art sealing talismans to it. He then used the Shadow Clone Technique, leaving one shadow clone in place, while he used the Flying Thunder God Formation to disappear with the Rinnegan.

On the other side, Madara Uchiha's expression changed on the giant eagle. The faint connection between him and the Rinnegan disappeared, and he cursed inwardly, "That damned brat is too vigilant. He got away."

His other Rinnegan is in Kirito's hands, that's for sure.

Therefore, even though he understood that Kirito was doing bad things to his Rinnegan, he was actually helpless.

After all, he had signed a death pact, which prohibited him from attacking Konoha for two years. As long as this brat stayed in Konoha, he could only watch helplessly.

But who would have thought that he sensed the direction of the Rinnegan was northwest? With a try-it-out mentality, he secretly controlled the Animal Path Pain and brought Orochimaru over, only to be discovered by Kirito as soon as he got close.

He had clearly used targeted screen-sensing ninjutsu to avoid being detected.

Madara Uchiha glanced instinctively at Orochimaru beside him, then looked away.

"Did we lose track of the target?"

Orochimaru sensed something was wrong and asked.

Madara Uchiha remained silent and continued to command the giant eagle to fly forward.

Before long, he saw a basin in the forest, and with his excellent eyesight, he quickly discovered that a human city was sleeping there.

"It looks like the thing on the basin below is the Sky Ninja Village's flying fortress."

Orochimaru spat out a telescope from his mouth, using it to carefully observe what was below, and then spoke.

He was present when the Sky Ninja Village attacked Konoha and participated in the counterattack.

Therefore, even though the flying fortress below was covered by dense vegetation, he quickly recognized it after a little scrutiny.

"The flying fortress of the Sky Ninja Village, humph, whatever it is, let's destroy it. This must be a base secretly built by that despicable brat."

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he clapped his hands together, preparing to use a powerful ninjutsu to destroy the flying fortress below.

"Wait a minute, don't you want to know what Kirito Tohsaka is researching here? It would be such a waste to just destroy it."

Orochimaru instantly understood who Madara Uchiha was referring to as that wretched kid, and quickly spoke up to stop him.

Kirito's laboratory—he was incredibly curious about what was inside.

Furthermore, based on Madara Uchiha's behavior, the research being conducted in the laboratory of the flying fortress below is likely related to the Rinnegan.

If he could obtain some of the materials from the laboratory, it would definitely greatly enhance his understanding of the Rinnegan.

"Give up your greed. You should know very well how cunning and shrewd Kirito Tohsaka is. Do you think he would let us get the things in his laboratory so easily? I'm afraid we would fall into his trap the moment we entered."

Madara Uchiha saw through Orochimaru's thoughts at a glance and mocked him.

After saying that, he stopped wasting words and used a powerful water-style ninjutsu, instantly spitting out a huge water dragon.

Water Release: Water Dragon Slash!

The enormous water dragon landed on the flying fortress below, instantly cleaving a deep crack in the steel-built fortress and revealing its interior.

Seeing this, Orochimaru sighed repeatedly, but stopped trying to persuade him and also used ninjutsu to attack.

"Bang!!!"

Before long, under the attack of the two's various powerful ninjutsu, the flying fortress quickly experienced a terrifying explosion, followed by the appearance of a huge spacetime black hole that swallowed up a small part of the flying fortress.

"See? That kid's cunning."

Madara Uchiha looked down at the flying fortress that had been swallowed and destroyed by the spacetime black hole, his face twitched, and he once again mocked Orochimaru beside him.

Orochimaru remained silent, but his expression was extremely unpleasant.

After completely destroying the flying fortress, Madara Uchiha felt better and then controlled the giant eagle to leave.

Since the Rinnegan is no longer here, there's no need for him to waste any more time.

Orochimaru obediently followed, without making any small moves.
