"Human threat... Hmph, those foolish great demons, do they really think it's just about dealing with the 'short-lived species' they call them?"
Naraku's core consciousness emitted a chilling laugh.
"Sesshomaru and his ilk are arrogant and ignorant! They simply don't understand the danger posed by Uchiha Eboshi... that 'Divine Tree,' that 'Rinnegan,' that power system from another world... his goals are probably far more than just the unification of humanity!"
"But...it's alright too."
Naraku's mind, like the most intricately venomous insect, was weaving a new web in the darkness.
"Let those greedy, foolish, and hatred-blinded great demons charge into battle."
They used their flesh and blood to deplete the power of Uchiha Elephant and to test his trump cards.
Especially... the Shikon Jewel!
A clearer and more enticing plan took shape in Naraku's mind, and he almost trembled with excitement at the thought of it:
"The Shikon Jewel...that's the key!"
The Uchiha Elephant is collecting it, and those greedy great demons are also coveting it... Inuyasha, Kikyo... all the fragment holders are swept up in this colossal wave that engulfs both the human and demon realms! War, an unprecedented war!
When all the fragments come together due to the clash of fates, when the holders fight and fall in this furnace of blood and fire…
Naraku's core consciousness emitted a silent, greedy shriek:
"That is the moment when I, Naraku... become a true and perfect demon!"
I will absorb all the fragments and fuse them into the ultimate gem that gathers countless desires and powers!
Uchiha Zan, Sesshomaru, they will all become stepping stones for me to reach the ultimate!
This world will eventually be shrouded in my darkness!
He was immersed in this grand, self-righteous plan, as if he could already see himself ruling the world and devouring the Shikon Jewel.
He mobilized his remaining power to frantically spawn low-level demons, throwing them into the front lines like expendable resources. At the same time, he infused more of his will into his various clones, accelerating the persuasion and integration of the demon alliance.
However, in the deepest part of Naraku's consciousness, in a corner he himself was unaware of, the most primal dark purple Shikon Jewel fragment, hidden deep within the filthy core of his soul, was emitting a faint yet stubborn light.
It was not responding to Naraku's ambition, but rather quietly plucking the strings of fate.
Naraku's "grand idea" of "gathering fragments to create a perfect demon" and his "ingenious scheme" of "using war to force the fragments to gather" were both brilliant.
How much of his inspiration, how much of his obsession, stems from his own wisdom, and how much...?
Is it this precious jade, unwilling to remain silent, yearning for completeness, and instinctively guiding its owner towards the ultimate fate of "making a wish" and "destruction," that is exerting its influence silently?
Jade yearns for wholeness.
For this reason, it is willing to lead its holder to destruction, whether it be an enemy or itself.
Naraku thought himself a chess player, but little did he know that his soul, twisted by resentment, fear, and greed, had long been an important pawn in Tama's manipulation of fate toward the final outcome.
The entire world of Japan, both human and demon realms, is being swept along by an invisible torrent of destiny woven from fragments of the Shikon Jewel, irresistibly rushing towards the center of a vortex filled with blood, fire, and the unknown.
Before the smoke of battle had cleared from the Guandong Plain, even heavier and darker demonic clouds slowly pressed down on the rising sun over the Qilin Palace from all directions.
The wind and rain threaten to destroy the city!
Chapter 260, Ninja World Reinforcements Arrive
On the Guandong Plain, in the forbidden area of the Qilin Palace, beneath the divine tree.
The light from the spatial vortex was steady and profound, like the eye of the universe.
Uchiha Sō (Heavenly Path Clone - Hojō Akitoki) sat upright atop the gnarled roots, his aura flowing like golden clouds, resonating with the divine tree. He slowly opened his eyes, his left eye glowing with Rinnegan purple light, his right eye with crimson Mangekyou Sharingan, his gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of space, landing on the powerful ninja gathered before the hall.
Uchiha Sho's voice was calm and authoritative, resounding directly in everyone's consciousness:
"The passage is now secure, and the fortune of the other realm is surging in like a tide. However, ants gather like sand, vainly obstructing the path to heaven. Naraku has colluded with demons from all directions, their power overwhelming. Although my son Naruto and Sasuke, along with Kikyo, Ujiyasu, and others, fought valiantly, their progress toward unification was slowed. How can the brilliance of the Great Luo Heavenly Court be obscured by such petty villains?"
His gaze swept over the crowd, finally settling on the aloof figure at the head of the group:
"Ban, I know where your heart lies."
Madara Uchiha, clad in deep blue armor, his crimson Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan (not yet restored due to his fall from the Six Paths of Paths) burning with intense fighting spirit, a wild smile playing on his lips:
"Hmph! A mere monster from another world dares to claim supremacy?"
To be confined to this world is like sitting in a well and looking at the sky!
This battle is exactly what I wanted!
Only through conquest and bloodshed can I hone my skills and ascend once more to the supreme realm of the Six Paths!
The fortunes of all living beings in this world, and the essences of demons, can all serve as stepping stones for me!
"The Lord of the Dou Tribe shall naturally expand the territory for the Heavenly Emperor!"
Hashirama Senju stood to the side and patted Madara on the shoulder with a hearty gesture, only to be met with a dismissive shrug from the other's shoulder.
"Madara (Ban), you're still in such a hurry!"
The scenery in that other world must be very interesting. I really want to see how the trees there are different from those here!
But I'll let you have this chance. Remember to bring me back some local specialties, haha!
Hashirama then turned to Uchiha Sō: "Your Majesty, rest assured, with Madara leading the team, we will surely wipe out the demonic forces!"
Obito Uchiha's voice, hidden beneath his mask (as the head of the intelligence department), carried a hint of complexity:
"...Hmph, although I really want to go and teach that guy Naraku a lesson myself, and see what his soul, which is even more twisted than Obito's, is like. But since Uncle Madara is so eager to stretch his muscles, I'll let him have it. However, Kakashi-sensei and the others are still fighting over there, and I can't just ignore them."
Minato Namikaze had his arm around Kushina Uzumaki beside him, both of them showing concern for their son.
Minato: "Your Majesty, how are Naruto and Sasuke doing over there? As their parents, we are truly worried and beg you to come with us!"
Kushina (clenching her fist, her hair showing a hint of red): "Exactly! That idiot son of mine is definitely causing trouble again! I have to go and keep an eye on him, and by the way... if those monsters dare to bully my son, I'll let them taste the power of 'Crimson Pepper'! Kurama, don't you think?"
(The Nine-Tails inside the body snorted in dissatisfaction)
Jiraiya stroked his white hair, his face displaying an expression of "academic" inquiry:
"Wonderful! Wonderful! The scenery of another world, especially those 'cute' monster girls... cough cough, I mean, the unique culture and power system are excellent creative material! Orochimaru, don't you want to go and collect some 'samples'?"
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with a dangerous yet excited light, and he chuckled hoarsely:
"Hiss... Jiraiya, your shallow desires are laughable. However... the genetic sequence of the otherworldly demons, the so-called 'demon power' essence, and the wondrous Shikon Jewel fragments... these are treasures that transcend ninjutsu. Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany you and contribute to the 'biotechnology' of the Heavenly Court."
The Fourth Raikage, A, stood with his arms crossed, his muscles bulging, lightning crackling around him, and his voice booming like a bell:
"I have no interest in monsters! But being able to fight against powerful figures from another world and see what their 'Kage-level' is all about makes this trip worthwhile! Madara! Don't just focus on fighting yourself, leave me a few decent opponents!"
Uchiha Xiang nodded slightly, fully aware of everyone's reactions:
"Approved. Madara will be the commander-in-chief of this expedition, with Minato, Kushina, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and A as his assistants. There are two objectives: First, to wipe out the Demon Alliance, clear away obstacles, and help my Heavenly Dao clone completely rule this world; second, to collect the Shikon Jewel fragments, analyze the laws of this world, and absorb its fortune into the Great Luo Heavenly Court system."
Then, his gaze returned to Madara Uchiha, carrying a hint of deeper meaning:
"Madara, the battlefield will respond to your desires. The spirits of demons and monsters, the very essence of heaven and earth, will all serve as fuel for you to rebuild the foundation of the Six Paths. Unleash your power and let the other world witness what a 'Shinobi Asura' truly is!"
Madara Uchiha's eyes blazed with fighting spirit like a volcanic eruption, and his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan accelerated its rotation:
"Hahahaha! Just what I wanted! This world will be the sacrifice for my return to my peak! Let's go!"
……
On the other side, in the world of Inuyasha—on the edge of the Kanto battlefield—demonic energy soared to the heavens.
A massive alliance of demons, consisting of Dragon Bone Spirit, Leopard Cat Clan (whose kinship with the Four Heavenly Kings is driven by skeletons), Thunder Beast Brothers (Feitian and Manten), Hundred Demon Bats, the powerful leader of the Demon Wolf Clan, and the remnants of the Seven Ninjas secretly strengthened and guided by Naraku, is engaged in a fierce battle with Hojo Ujiyasu's Blood Armored Samurai, Konoha Anbu, monks, priestesses, and a combined force of spiritual ninjas.
A surging tide of demons and monsters clashed violently with demonic arts, ninjutsu, Buddhist teachings, and the power to exorcise demons, causing the earth to crack and the sky to darken.
Naruto, his body covered in the Nine-Tails' chakra cloak, was blasting away a stone bear cub with a giant Rasengan, shouting at Sasuke who was using Chidori Stream to clear the area in the distance:
"Sasuke! This is never going to end! There are too many demons! When will the reinforcements Father promised arrive?!"
Sasuke's Kusanagi sword flashed with lightning, severing the wing of a tengu, and he said coldly:
"Last-place player, focus on the fight! Your godfather has a plan! That direction... the demonic aura is strongest there; it's Donglan, the leader of the Leopard Cat Clan! Take her out first!"
Kikyo stood high above, unleashing a barrage of demon-slaying arrows to purify the surging demonic energy. However, faced with the combined attack of so many powerful demons, the purification field was compressed.
Shi Kang roared as he commanded his troops, but the defensive line was already showing signs of crumbling.
Naraku (through an avatar or a thought) lurked in the shadows, his countless compound eyes flashing with a chilling aura and a hint of smugness:
"Struggle, humans! Gather your strength in despair, fragments of the Shikon Jewel! Uchiha Zou, no matter how strong your 'ninjas' are, can they withstand the wrath of the entire great demon of Japan? Wait until you are both severely weakened..."
suddenly!
Above the battlefield, space itself groaned under the strain!
From the direction of the divine tree passage that firmly connects the two worlds, a terrifying pressure that made heaven and earth change color descended like billions of mountains!
"boom--!!!"
A massive spatial rift, far exceeding the previous one in diameter, was forcibly torn open! Before the raging spatial turbulence had subsided, a deep blue figure crashed down like a meteor!
Boom! ! !
The ground collapsed instantly at the point of impact, forming a giant crater hundreds of meters in diameter!
Spiderweb-like cracks spread wildly!
A pure, extremely violent chakra shockwave swept in all directions like a tsunami!
Countless low-level demons didn't even have time to scream before they were crushed into dust by this terrifying pressure and shockwave!
The vanguard of the demon alliance, who were charging forward, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of sighs, and instantly fell to the ground!
The battlefield fell silent!
All living beings, whether human or demon, were shocked and trembled by this devastating appearance that descended from the sky!
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Madara Uchiha's tall and imposing figure, like that of a demon god, was revealed.
He slowly raised his head, his crimson kaleidoscope sweeping over the overwhelming demons and monsters before him. A wildly arrogant smile spread across his lips. His voice, though not loud, clearly drowned out all the clamor of the battlefield, carrying an air of indifference that looked down upon the world.
"Hahaha... You scum from another world... I heard you're hindering the will of the 'Heavenly Court'?"
Immediately following, Minato Namikaze (appearing in a flash of golden light to Madara's left front), Kushina Uzumaki (red hair flowing, Nine-Tails chakra faintly visible), Jiraiya (carrying Fukasaku and Shima on his shoulders), Orochimaru (golden snake eyes scanning with interest), and the Fourth Raikage A (his entire body activated with lightning armor, crackling with electricity) also descended steadily from the crack one after another, standing behind or to Madara's side. Their powerful Kage-level/Super Kage-level auras were released without reservation, mixing with Madara's pressure to form a terrifying domain that could suffocate even great demons!
Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened instantly, filled with a mixture of surprise and delight:
Naruto: "Dad! Mom! Perverted Sage! And...that's...Uncle Madara?!"
