Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

It is unaware of the matter of reincarnation.

This was undoubtedly a very bad sign for him, that is, Madara Uchiha no longer trusted him, and even began to doubt him.

Madara Uchiha, who used the Reanimation Jutsu, has to some extent escaped its control.

"Hehehe~, this chess piece is indeed difficult to control, but you will never escape my grasp. Once Mom is resurrected, no matter how many parts of your soul you divide, it will be useless. You will only face death."

Black Zetsu quickly composed himself and sneered inwardly.

It's true that Madara Uchiha's wariness of it is a bad thing, but from the current perspective, it's actually a good thing. It was just worried that Madara Uchiha wouldn't be able to hold on and that the plan would fail.

Now that Madara Uchiha has used the Reanimation Jutsu, eliminating the risk of being instantly killed by an ambush, the Eye of the Moon Plan can continue, and the enemy hiding in the shadows can no longer remain hidden.

Just as Black Zetsu was thinking this, Madara Uchiha had already activated the final form of Susanoo, and the four-armed tengu warrior with wings quickly rushed into the sky.

Soon, Madara Uchiha discovered the White Zetsu clone hidden high in the sky.

"Oh, it's you! Should I say you're Hattori Masanari or Tohsaka Kirito?"

Madara Uchiha saw the White Zetsu clone, noticed its face and eyes, and then his Rinnegan flashed with a glint of light as he said with great surprise.

As the power of the Gedo Mazo grew stronger, so did the Rinnegan's abilities, and his perception naturally increased accordingly, giving rise to new and new abilities.

One of these is seeing souls and keenly perceiving their differences, thus distinguishing between different souls.

At this moment, the soul within Hattori Masashige, the current leader of Amegakure, was exactly the same as that of Tohsaka Kirito. Although their soul power was quite different, their soul fluctuations were absolutely synchronized.

Therefore, it is clear that Hattori Masanari and Tohsaka Kirito are the same person; the former is a clone created by the latter using some kind of soul-splitting ninjutsu.

"It doesn't matter who it is, since you will cease to exist from now on, and no one will know this secret."

Seeing that Madara Uchiha had seen through his true identity, the White Zetsu clone stopped pretending and directly transformed into his original form, coldly saying...

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hands forward, and a terrifying repulsive force was released from his hands.

Madara Uchiha instantly sensed the danger, and similarly put both hands together, unleashing a terrifying repulsive force!

Shinra Tensei VS Shinra Tensei!

Two terrifying repulsive forces collided, creating a massive explosion that generated a powerful shockwave that shattered all the clouds within a radius of several kilometers around them.

But a moment later, Madara Uchiha coughed up blood and staggered back, his body, which was formed from the fifth stage of Susanoo, was covered with cracks.

It is clear that Madara Uchiha lost in the recent Shinra Tensei battle.

"Hahaha~, so this is the power of the Tenseigan. It lives up to its reputation. No wonder it is said to be comparable to the Rinnegan."

Madara Uchiha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and laughed excitedly once again.

Now that things have come to this, how could he not recognize what those eyes of the White Zetsu clone, which were giving him such immense pressure, were?

It's really unexpected that Kirito Tohsaka obtained the power of the Tenseigan so early on. The giant Tenseigan placed in Konoha was clearly bait thrown out by Kirito Tohsaka to achieve his goal.

The world was deceived by this despicable Konoha ninja. He obtained the power of the Tenseigan early on and then quietly developed his strength, constantly growing stronger with the help of the Tenseigan.

"Luckily, I chose to launch the Eye of the Moon Project ahead of schedule. Otherwise, if I had waited longer, and this kid continued to explore the power of the Tenseigan, my chances of winning would definitely have been even lower than they are now."

Madara Uchiha secretly felt lucky.

Although this was his first time encountering the power of the Tenseigan, he already had a general understanding of how strong it was; it was definitely on par with the Rinnegan.

As the holder of the Rinnegan, he was well aware of the power of the ultimate eye. Although it was already very powerful when he first obtained it, its potential was obviously far greater.

For example, his Rinnegan, after being nurtured by him and Nagato, and then by the Gedo Mazo, is far more powerful than when it was first activated.

Therefore, Kirito Tohsaka, who possesses the Tenseigan, must be in a phase of rapid growth in strength at this time. Not to mention that he is already very young, and even without the Tenseigan, his strength would be growing very quickly.

With these two factors combined, Madara Uchiha could no longer imagine what level Kirito Tohsaka's strength would reach in a few years. Compared to a few years from now, his Eye of the Moon plan simply had no chance of success.

Kirito didn't care what Madara Uchiha was thinking at the moment. Taking advantage of Madara's defeat, he decisively swooped down and used the power of the Tenseigan to communicate with a humanoid puppet hidden ten kilometers away.

In an instant, a puppet that looked exactly like Kirito opened its eyes, which turned out to be a pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

This humanoid puppet is the fourth powerful puppet that Kirito painstakingly created after the Thunder God Puppet, the Rock God Puppet, and the Grass God Puppet. Unlike the previous three puppets, it is the humanoid puppet that Kirito put the most effort into creating.

The reason is simple: the energy core of this humanoid puppet is Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

The latest design concept of the Mangekyou Sharingan hidden inside Thor's puppet was developed specifically to create it.

Using puppetry to harness the power of the Rinnegan is something Kirito has been trying to do ever since he obtained the Rinnegan, but unfortunately he has never succeeded because the darkness within the Rinnegan is too terrifying, making it extremely difficult for Kirito to control it.

It's not that he can't control it normally, but if he does, it will be difficult for him to control the White Zetsu clones at the same time, which will undoubtedly reduce his combat power instead of increasing it.

It wasn't until the appearance of the Tenseigan that this problem truly took a turn for the better.

The Tenseigan and Rinnegan are on the same level of power.

It is obvious that a single Rinnegan is difficult to contend with a pair of complete Tenseigan. Based on this situation, Kirito cleverly used the power of the Tenseigan to control puppets to suppress the Rinnegan, thus achieving the ability to successfully control the Rinnegan.

However, the creation of the Rinnegan puppet is not yet fully complete, and Kirito still has many design concepts that he has not yet implemented in it.

For example, using the power of the Rinnegan, a Pain puppet could be created for the Rinnegan puppet.

Madara Uchiha's hasty implementation of the Eye of the Moon Plan caught Kirito completely off guard. Otherwise, given a few more months, he would have had the information to completely crush Madara Uchiha.

"Alright, it's not too late now. It's time to put an end to everything and bring my sister and the others back to life. I can't keep them waiting too long."

The Rinnegan puppet spoke.

The next moment, he clapped his hands together, using the Rinnegan's ability to manipulate repulsive force to enhance his body, and then flew up, quickly heading towards the final battlefield.

On the other side, Madara Uchiha noticed that the White Zetsu clone was swooping down to harm the Gedo Mazo. He quickly followed, and huge blue tomoe wrapped in terrifying electric currents were released from the four-armed Tengu warrior, heading straight for the White Zetsu clone.

Magatama of Yasaka!

The white Zetsu clone ignored this and easily avoided the attacks of these blue tomoe during its dive.

Faced with the Tenseigan's powerful perception, these ordinary ninjutsu pose absolutely no threat to the White Zetsu clone.

Suddenly, a huge white beam of light struck, reaching the White Zetsu clone in the blink of an eye.

This is a terrifying beam of light released by Dust Release: Detachment of the Primal World.

After sensing that there were enemies hiding high in the sky, Madara Uchiha immediately dispatched the Second Tsuchikage Muto, who was hiding in the air and preparing to ambush the enemy, to meet them.

Despite the sudden attack of the Dust Release ninjutsu, the White Zetsu clone maintained a calm expression.

The Second Tsuchikage Mu's invisibility ninjutsu was indeed very sophisticated, but in the eyes of the Tenseigan, it was as bright as a fire in the dark night and could not be hidden at all.

Naturally, the Second Tsuchikage Mu's Dust Release was already within the White Zetsu clone's expectations. He neither dodged nor avoided it, and directly collided with the white beam of light.

But the result was that the White Zetsu clone was unharmed.

A green chakra ball appeared in front of his chest, and all the white light formed by Dust Release was absorbed by this green chakra ball.

"This is an ability similar to the Absorption Seal of the Preta Path Pain Sealing Technique."

Madara Uchiha, who was close behind, witnessed this scene and his expression darkened slightly.

The power of the Tenseigan is truly astonishing; the Second Tsuchikage's Dust Release card is now completely useless.

After eliminating the threat of Dust Release, one of the Truth-Seeking Balls behind the White Zetsu clone immediately transformed into a black arrow, poised to be fired.

Madara Uchiha decisively used Shinra Tensei: Absorption once again.

The terrifying suction force acted on the White Zetsu clone, causing his speed to slow down and affecting his control of the Truth-Seeking Balls, thus preventing him from successfully launching the Truth-Seeking Ball black arrow.

"It really worked. Although the black ball is incredibly powerful, it's not so easy to control."

Madara Uchiha was overjoyed to see that he had successfully stopped the enemy from attacking the Gedo Mazo with Truth-Seeking Balls. He then continued to keep a close eye on the White Zetsu clone, not giving it any opportunity to take advantage.

On the ground, Kirito's main body was engaged in a fierce battle with Sage Hashirama and Pain.

However, both sides have suffered losses in the battle so far.

Kirito had a deep fist mark on his chest, caused by taking a punch head-on from Sage Hashirama. Fortunately, he had learned the Slug Sage's Sage Art: Split, which eliminated his fatal weaknesses. Otherwise, that punch could have blown his entire body apart.

In return, Hashirama lost one of his legs.

Kirito seized the opportunity to use the Spirit Transformation Technique: Soul Stealing Hand on Hashirama Senju's soul. Although he failed to completely pull out Hashirama Senju's soul, he did tear off the soul of one of his legs.

After losing a leg, Hashirama's Edo Tensei body was unable to restore his leg, which greatly reduced Hashirama's mobility, allowing Kirito to gradually gain the upper hand in the battle.

"You've done a great job, Konoha's outstanding junior. If you keep fighting, you'll definitely be able to defeat me. Mito has truly taught a remarkable disciple. I'm very pleased."

After Hashirama once again narrowly avoided Kirito's Soul-Stealing Hand, he laughed happily and continued to mercilessly manipulate the giant Buddha statue to unleash a barrage of wooden fists at Kirito.

Wood Release: Top Transformation Buddha!

At this moment, Kirito, who was staring at Pain's Shinra Tensei Repulsive Force, had no choice but to retreat and dodge. He then said to Sage Hashirama, "First Hokage, I must offend you now."

"Oh~, are you about to unleash some powerful ninjutsu? Hurry up and show it to me. I've caused you too much trouble, so you don't need to worry too much. Anyway, I'm already a dead man."

Upon hearing this, Sage Hashirama replied with a carefree expression.

Although he doesn't know what Madara is planning yet, judging from Madara's decision to have that terrifying stone statue absorb the chakra of the nine tailed beasts and Madara's current depraved and insane personality, it's definitely not a good thing for the ninja world.

He did indeed break free quickly, at least he could no longer be forced by Madara Uchiha to be his accomplice.

Upon hearing Kirito's words, Pain, who was in mid-air, immediately diverted some of his attention to the sky. He was Madara Uchiha, who could use his Rinnegan to provide vision, and naturally understood that Kirito's powerful clone was rapidly approaching.

Hashirama Senju is currently a crucial fighting force for him. Once he is defeated by Kirito Tohsaka, it will be difficult for him to successfully hold off Kirito's main body.

There are only about two minutes left until the Gedo Mazo completes its evolution; he must hold on.

With this thought in mind, Pain decisively clapped his hands together, and coffins appeared on the ground. As the coffin lids fell, ninjas who had made a name for themselves in the ninja world walked out from them.

These are hundreds of Jonin-level Edo Tensei puppets, some of whom are even Kage-level powerhouses.

Madara Uchiha originally thought that these 'weak' Edo Tensei puppets would not play any key role in this battle, and might even be a hindrance, so he didn't bother to summon them.

But now, we're just trying anything, even if it seems hopeless.

"Go and kill him."

Pain shouted loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the resurrected Edo Tensei ninjas charged at Kirito and unleashed a variety of ninjutsu attacks.

Kirito frowned slightly as he watched these reanimated ninjas charge towards him. He knew that these reanimated ninjas were used by Madara Uchiha to buy time, but unfortunately, he didn't know them.

Even if these reanimated ninjas are weak, it will still take time to deal with them.

"Listen up, all White Zetsu! Come out and surround and kill Kirito Tohsaka!"

Pain, the God of Pain, spoke loudly once more.

The next moment, one by one, White Zetsu emerged from the ground and charged towards Kirito while shouting "Madara-sama!" Some of the White Zetsu even combined together, transforming into giant monsters with three heads and six arms.
