I am Jinshan Youxia

"Investigate the location of all the Tailed Beasts," he calmly ordered, his gaze piercing through the ceiling that had already shattered in the battle, looking towards the distant buildings.

A familiar masked figure had been standing on a high place a few minutes earlier, looking down at him as he killed the woman playing with paper at his feet and controlled Nagato's resurrection, but had never shown himself.

"Aren't you afraid to come see me, Obito?"

Madara Uchiha was not surprised that the plan would change. He looked down on Obito, but he would never look down on himself. Obito, whom he had trained, naturally possessed great power. Although his mind was a little unclear, power always gives people the courage to rebel.

The reason I came here to revive and retrieve my Rinnegan was to lure out Obito, who had mysteriously disappeared, and resolve this minor problem.

Compared to him, Obito is much weaker, especially now that he has regained the Rinnegan, he could easily kill Obito instantly.

However, there is the troublesome spatial eye technique. If it is used to interfere with the Eye of the Moon plan, it will be very troublesome.

Now it seems things are going to get even more complicated.

Chapter 474 Change!

Later that day, in Konoha Village, at the Hokage's office.

“Since he said he would repay Kakashi, he definitely wouldn’t harm the village.”

"When I left the village, I killed many ninjas and summoned beasts from the Hidden Sound Village..."

The Jonin were talking all at once.

The two advisors remained silent. Yesterday, Shimura Danzo came over confidently and volunteered. Tsunade objected, and the Jonin had differing opinions. Everyone was too busy with missions. So what if he was the leader of the hawk faction? His position had long been abolished by the Third Hokage. Now he was just an elder in the village and didn't have much say.

However, the two advisors knew their old friend definitely had something to hide—

The fact that Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru were exchanging glances was no secret among the upper echelons of Konoha. After all, Orochimaru was a member of Root, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to be in cahoots.

With this in mind, the two advisors overruled objections and sent Shimura Danzo with his men to deal with the rogue ninja Rokkaku.

Now we see, let alone solving the problem, they couldn't even slow things down. It's like being run over by a speed bump. Now, Shimura Danzo has been captured by the rogue ninja Rokkaku and is walking openly into FunFun Street. Konoha has completely lost face.

Fortunately, not many outsiders knew this long-retired elder of Konoha, otherwise it would have been even more embarrassing.

"All right."

Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, looked around the silent room, and said in a deep voice, "Since he says he wants to see me, then leave it to me to handle."

"..."

After a brief silence, Mitokado Homura spoke:

"The Book of Sealing." He looked at the female Hokage, his voice very serious: "The Book of Sealing can be traded to him."

"How can this be allowed?"

"Those techniques are all inside!"

"There has never been any case of selling forbidden techniques from the village before."

The Jonin were immediately in an uproar.

"Quiet." Koharu Utatane silenced the noise and explained to her partner, "The Mangekyou Sharingan that the rogue ninja Rokkaku gave to Kakashi has already been confirmed by the medical team."

In the past, not all the Jonin in the village knew about the Mangekyou Sharingan. After all, the Sharingan was very rare in the Uchiha clan, and the three-tomoe Sharingan was even rarer. Moreover, after the Uchiha clan used Izanagi to attack outsiders, they almost never left any survivors.

Everyone knows that the Sharingan has the ability to copy ninjutsu (Kakashi), can observe chakra, and can enhance dynamic vision, but few people know that the three tomoe have the Mangekyou Sharingan, which has special eye techniques, as well as the despicable high-level secret technique Izanagi.

However, ever since Zhang Chengyi activated his Mangekyou Sharingan and unleashed all sorts of abilities, using the Mangekyou Sharingan's eye techniques and Izanagi as the Three Body Techniques, this has become public knowledge in the ninja world.

Sensory ninjas can clearly see him gather chakra in his eyes and release the technique; this information is not a secret at all.

Even the most incompetent Jonin have excellent intelligence gathering abilities. Since intelligence gathering is tested in the Chunin Exams, they would naturally already know about the Mangekyou Sharingan.

Now Zhang Chengyi comes along wanting to trade the Book of Sealing, and he's already given away a Mangekyou Sharingan as a mere "greeting gift"...

Transplanting Sharingan into outsiders does have various drawbacks, especially the fatal consumption of chakra, but if it is strong enough, no one can refuse it.

"Just trade it for a few more Mangekyou Sharingan! Very few people can learn the forbidden techniques in the Scroll of Seals anyway!"

Considering that the Mangekyou Sharingan they received in exchange might be given to one of them, the Jonin's eyes became eager.

How can a ninja refuse to become stronger?

-----------------

Nighttime, Funfun Street, in a hotel.

"...It failed."

Zhang Chengyi rubbed his swollen belly, a look of frustration on his face.

The experiment to fuse Hashirama cells failed more than a dozen times in a row. These cells were too aggressive. They could be forcibly controlled and their chakra used, but they could not be fused with other cells.

The deductions in the virtual world are not omnipotent. The rules within are entirely based on Zhang Chengyi's knowledge. Once he has blind spots in his knowledge of a certain thing or the rules of the world, he naturally cannot deduce or simulate it in the same way as reality.

The greater the gap between knowledge and the rules that exist in reality, the more deviations there are. Obviously, fusing Hashirama cells is the type that works no matter how you try in the virtual world, but fails no matter how you try in reality.

The most crucial issue is Hashirama Senju's 'spirit'. Don't underestimate the 'spirit' that remains in the cells of a dead man. As the undisputed number one in the chaotic world, his 'spirit' is too strong and too resilient. It will not submit but will only conquer other cells.

Even a monster like Madara Uchiha, after being resurrected and implanted with Hashirama cells, would have Hashirama Senju's face grow on his chest.

Zhang Chengyi's body, born from a pure 'spirit' due to its active mind, clearly lacks strength. Even after incorporating the Uchiha bloodline, it would likely be considered weak among the strong, probably not even as resilient as an ordinary Jonin.

This body had already died during its 'hexagonal' stage before being controlled by the modifier spirit, and everything was reset to zero. After the modifier spirit took control, he didn't suffer much and had a smooth journey. He didn't even experience much pain. If the modifier spirit hadn't used its active brain to make its thinking strong enough, its 'mental' strength probably wouldn't have been much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Is this kind of 'spirit' meant to help its own cells conquer the interstitial cells?

Dream it.

"It's so annoying. How did it come to this point where we have to compete in willpower? Can't we just be a numbers monster?"

Zhang Chengyi cut open his belly and pulled out the Hashirama cells that had devoured and assimilated many of his organs. Amaterasu descended and burned the lump of flesh with the face of Senju Hashirama.

"If it's just about adding an arm to enhance myself, it's too useless for me."

He shook his head. Ever since he deciphered the power of all things in the universe and the Yin-Yang Release technique from the tailed beasts, his understanding of various ninjutsu has reached a new level due to the existence of the illusory world. His analysis of the Sharingan has also progressed by leaps and bounds, and his chakra strength is already quite good.

He didn't really need the body parts made of Hashirama cells; what he wanted was the quality of chakra provided by Hashirama cells. Even just an increase in potential would be instantly monetized, but unfortunately, he couldn't do anything with it.

Unless he is willing to reconstruct his body using Hashirama cells as the main component, given the aggressive nature of this thing, he will probably grow into the appearance of Hashirama Senju, and even his original chakra will be tainted into something else. His strength will increase slightly, but his control will definitely decrease significantly.

Based on Zhang Chengyi's understanding of spiritual will, the more the spiritual will within one's own power is incompatible with one's personality, the more troublesome it is to control.

In contrast, the Uchiha bloodline is simply genetic, without any mental influence, which is quite beneficial.

"Forget it, if I can buy the Book of Sealing tomorrow, I'll study the forbidden techniques and then consider how to develop Hashirama cells."

He temporarily put aside his worries.

Chapter 475 The Sudden Attack

Early morning, the Land of Fire, the Valley of the End.

"Hashirama..."

Madara Uchiha stood atop his own statue, gazing at the statue of Hashirama Senju opposite him, a rare hint of melancholy appearing on his face.

From the beginning, he had no desires that he absolutely had to fulfill.

He fought against the Senju clan for the sake of his father and clan, yet he was still able to become friends with his enemy, Hashirama.

His younger brother, Izuna, told him to protect the family, so he vowed to fight to the death and never surrender. Even if all the other members of the family surrendered and he was the only one left, he would rather die at the hands of the enemy.

If it weren't for his friend Hashirama Senju being the one who persuaded him to surrender, he might have actually died there instead of surviving.

After that, it was for Hashirama's dream—

peace.

Madara Uchiha closed his eyes, recalling Hashirama Senju's excited discussion with him about how to create peace in the future, how to keep children away from the battlefield, how to reunite families, and how to avoid creating so much sadness and separation.

"Hashirama, it is you who betrayed our dreams."

He opened his eyes, and the expression on his face returned to its usual calm, like a still pond.

Peace should not be about sacrificing everything for the village, nor should it be about trusting a group of despicable and weak people.

Peace should be created by the strong...

"I will create it." Madara Uchiha revealed a confident smile, tinged with a hint of loneliness. The arm of Susanoo flashed and crashed down.

"Boom! Crash!"

The entire Valley of the End was instantly obliterated by this attack.

Just like the Hidden Leaf Village that he was about to destroy and Zhang Chengyi who stole the three tailed beasts.

Amidst the flying stones and splashes of water, Madara Uchiha pierced through light and shadow, rushing towards Konoha Village. He finally stopped on a rooftop in Funfun Street. Zhang Chengyi's powerful chakra, which was completely unrestrained and frantically releasing signals, was constantly telling others his location. He looked at the inn diagonally below, and without hesitation, he formed hand seals and opened his mouth to breathe fire.

"call!"

[Fire Release: Great Flame Annihilation!]

Since he's going to destroy Konoha and create a new world with Infinite Tsukuyomi, killing a few more people doesn't matter.

"Splash!"

The surging water flowed against the current, bursting through the hotel roof and clashing with the vast blaze for less than a second.

On one hand, Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Release technique was indeed no match for Madara Uchiha's. On the other hand, when he sensed an attack and showed no concern for the lives of passersby, Might Guy had already moved in, kicking Madara Uchiha, who was breathing fire, away.

[So fast!]

Madara Uchiha flew backwards in the air, his mind racing. He knew that Zhang Chengyi had a master of taijutsu by his side, but he really didn't expect that he could reach this level with just taijutsu.

They kicked him away without even using the Eight Gates technique?

"Whoosh!" Might Guy charged forward, stepping on the air, trying to force the enemy out of Funfun Street in one go, preferably far away from Konoha Village. Just one Fire Release technique was enough to create such a large force, even Water Release, which is obviously the counter to Fire Release, couldn't withstand it. The person who released Water Release is already one of the few Water Release experts in the world, Kisame Hoshigaki.

"boom!"

As Matt Kai charged forward, he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from the side. He only had time to turn his head slightly before he was kicked in the shoulder by something invisible and sent flying.

"Boom!" His body smashed through several houses, but like a bouncing ball, he immediately burst out again, with only a few scratches on his face, and his broken arm and sunken chest cavity were rapidly healing.

After being modified several times by Zhang Chengyi, his physical fitness no longer declined, and his body toughness and regenerative ability were greatly enhanced. Although such attacks were very painful, they were not enough to knock him unconscious or kill him.

He's someone who can open all eight gates of the Eight Gates Formation; his pain tolerance is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Shh!"
