I am Jinshan Youxia

Was it because of his collaboration with Madara Uchiha? Or something else...?

Kabuto Yakushi pondered for a moment, then used the Body Flicker Technique to arrive in the arena. He reached out and placed his hand on Sasuke Uchiha, softly asking, "Sasuke-kun, why don't you kill them?"

"If we had killed them, we probably wouldn't have been injured so much."

Sasuke Uchiha stared coldly at Kabuto Yakushi without replying.

Even if he acts fiercely because he is unwilling to kill, he is not really suitable to be a ninja.

Kabuto Yakushi's expression remained unchanged; he was simply thinking to himself.

Both Naruto and Sasuke in front of them are too naive.

Being a ninja is not a naive profession; in a place like Konoha, naive people cannot survive.

He deeply understood what Konoha had brought him, and he was also very clear about what Konoha might do to Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, after the death of the Third Hokage. Perhaps Tsunade would bring about changes to Konoha.

But none of that matters.

Looking at the stubborn, silent Sasuke, Kabuto thought to himself:

Even the darkest place in Konoha, no matter how dark it is inside, is far less dark than the darkness Orochimaru experiences here.

[I hope your innocence remains as strong as ever, Sasuke-kun]

Chapter 481 Invincible Again and Again

That evening, in an inn in Konoha Village.

"I am now invincible!"

"Wait, I don't think this is the first time I've said this."

Zhang Chengyi thought about it carefully for a moment, then decisively abandoned his random thoughts, entered the virtual world, pulled out Kisame Hoshigaki who was experiencing other people's lives in virtual reality, and said impatiently, "Go back and try this!"

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki received the message expressionlessly.

This is... um, a psychic spell?

He was a little confused, but he still obediently dispelled the illusion technique: simulated world (an improved version of the illusionary lamp body technique). After regaining consciousness in reality, he went to the courtyard of the inn, refined his chakra, formed hand seals, and pressed his hands to the ground.

"Bang!" After the white smoke rose, a vivid Mangekyou Sharingan appeared on the ground.

"what?"

Kisame Hoshigaki was dumbfounded. He summoned a Mangekyou Sharingan using a summoning jutsu. Was that right?

"Yes, yes."

Zhang Chengyi leaned closer and nodded in satisfaction. He had thoroughly mastered the summoning and sealing techniques in the Book of Seals, and with the chakra he possessed from almost everyone in the ninja world, devising a summoning technique aimed at him was a piece of cake.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just summoning a Mangekyou Sharingan from inside his stomach. This technique combines the principles of a whole bunch of ninjutsu, involving the Yin-Yang Release technique, as well as a special summoning technique that allows him to lock onto objects inside his body. Strictly speaking, he should name this technique 'Lottery Technique'.

"Try again."

He said with great interest.

Kisame Hoshigaki, unaware of what was happening, continued to form hand seals and pressed his hand on the empty ground beside him. Black incantations appeared, and another wisp of white smoke rose, revealing a piece of gold.

"?" He was even more confused about what it meant.

"Continue, continue," Zhang Chengyi urged.

Kisame Hoshigaki acted as a ruthless tool for summoning spirits, summoning them time and time again, resulting in all sorts of bizarre and wonderful things.

Money, food, clothes, kunai, shuriken, ninjutsu scrolls...

At first, he didn't think it was a big deal. But as more and more spiritual objects accumulated in the yard, they looked quite impressive. Then he started to feel something was wrong.

These things come from all corners of the ninja world; they can be found everywhere. The more chakra provides, the larger the things that appear.

He was a little too engrossed in his psychic abilities until, with a bang, a bewildered Iwagakure ninja appeared in the courtyard.

"You—" Before the Iwagakure ninja could even touch the kunai at his waist, he fell into a deep sleep under the influence of genjutsu, a peaceful smile on his face.

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Chengyi rubbed his hands together, grinning broadly, "I'm a fucking genius!"

Using the chakra he infiltrates into other people's bodies as a medium, and remotely marking the Flying Thunder God with Yin-Yang Release as a channel, he uses Summoning Jutsu to mobilize his sealed chakra and Yin-Yang Release techniques, randomly summoning everything around the life form containing his chakra.

If it's an object, use the Yin-Yang Escape Technique to copy it; if it's a person, summon them directly.

Of course, this technique has no lethality; it was developed in this way simply for fun.

But in essence, he has mastered a whole host of techniques, including sealing techniques, summoning techniques, and ninjutsu, making it easier for him to create ninjutsu than to imagine a new way to urinate.

Aside from being limited by his perception and unable to use the Flying Thunder God Technique as skillfully as Tobirama Senju or Minato Namikaze, in terms of understanding and using the technique itself, he is undoubtedly the strongest in the ninja world.

There is very likely no other way.

This confidence stems from the abundant computing power provided by other bodies.

Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't share the Yin-Yang Release technique with everyone, but he has no problem. With the amount of chakra he has locked in, no matter how many people simultaneously use the Yin-Yang Release technique on him, it won't decrease.

This is not the same as having strong recovery ability. Rather, it means that the chakra itself does not decrease. It is exactly how much chakra it originally had, and it remains at a locked amount no matter how much it is spent.

Correspondingly, all the information he perceives using Yin-Yang Release will be understood, broken down, and absorbed by him. In the process of creating ninjutsu, he has already mastered most of the information in the ninja world. He has learned all of them, including ninjutsu, bloodline limits, and bloodline elimination techniques.

Even Sage Mode was achieved through Jiraiya, Hashirama Senju, and the cyborgs at Orochimaru's northern base, who were able to perceive and absorb natural energy.

Omniscience is omnipotence.

He is capable of far more than one might imagine. Having mastered natural energy and incorporated it into his ninjutsu, he no longer fears the fact that the power of the myriad phenomena ignores the characteristics of ninjutsu.

Zhang Chengyi can now reassemble his body at any time and release chakra in any part of his body, unleashing hundreds or thousands of sage techniques in an instant.

If he wanted to destroy this planet, he could simply throw out the Celestial Technique: Dust Escape indiscriminately. According to his calculations, this turret-type Bloodstained Elimination, which was already incredibly destructive, would have its destructive power increased exponentially after being infused with natural energy.

If this isn't invincible, he can't think of any other way to be invincible.

Zhang Chengyi never expected that his previous act of spreading chakra around like Ashura and Indra, just for fun, would actually become a channel for him to understand the world and connect with everything.

Moreover, after developing this technique, his virtual world was no longer so virtual. He specifically summoned Kisame Hoshigaki to update his virtual world.

It exists entirely through illusions, and its interior is a virtual world created entirely of illusions. Through his understanding of all things and his basic analysis of ninjutsu, it is now almost indistinguishable from the real Naruto world.

If he could fully analyze it, he could even create a new ninja world—

Chakra created by the mind is not a rare thing. Understanding all the rules of reality and chakra will naturally enable one to create reality and replicate the Yin-Yang Release technique. At that time, the illusory world will no longer be illusory, but a real new world.

However, this "almost" is only missing the Ōtsutsuki.

He had analyzed in detail the peak that ordinary ninjas, even those like Hashirama Senju, could reach, but Otsutsuki still couldn't understand it; it was a genuine black box operation.

Whether it's the Senju's physique or the Uchiha's bloodline, they are actually quite different from the Otsutsuki.

If he wants to completely replicate the ninja world, he must capture an Otsutsuki.

"Can I go back now?" Kisame Hoshigaki asked wearily.

The lottery spell doesn't consume much energy, but it was continuously released for a full half hour. The fact that he wasn't out of breath from exhaustion is a testament to the spell's low energy consumption.

Zhang Chengyi looked at Kisame Hoshigaki with a smile, and the smile on his face gradually became more amusing.

"Go ahead." You shouldn't be lonely tonight.

Those who can communicate with spirits can naturally communicate with spirits; let's all come and play in the virtual world together.

Chapter 482 Infinity...

Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire, at a hot spring inn.

That guy... something's really off...

Madara Uchiha sat in the hot spring, pondering the morning's battle, which had started strong but ended weakly.

He wasn't someone who lacked common sense; he knew all too well what a ninja should be like.

Whether in times of war or after the establishment of ninja villages, the power displayed by a ninja in an individual situation should never reach the level of Hashirama, let alone surpass it.

According to Black Zetsu's intelligence, the Konoha Village rogue ninja who calls himself Zhang Chengyi was just an ordinary Chunin not long ago. His deeper identity is that of a spy for Kumogakure. There is almost no information about him, and he is not worth paying attention to because he is too weak.

However, after Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha began, Zhang Chengyi displayed incomprehensible power and continued to grow stronger. Due to Obito's foolish decision, he eventually became an information black hole that even Obito could not solve.

Even though he and Hashirama both followed a path of gradually growing stronger from weak, Zhang Chengyi did not. Perhaps his growth trajectory was too steep. When he first gained attention, he had already mastered extremely powerful taijutsu. After stealing a Mangekyou Sharingan, he directly revealed his ability to infinitely replicate the Mangekyou Sharingan. Subsequently, he continued to steal and purchase a large number of ninjutsu, growing to a point where even Obito could not solve his problem.

Then, Obito hesitated because of some ulterior motives and didn't want to reveal himself. When he decided to deal with his opponent, he didn't gather enough information beforehand and bet all his cards at once, resulting in a crushing defeat. Black Zetsu found Orochimaru and had him resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique...

Madara Uchiha's face remained expressionless, but he was already pondering the issues within.

If everything goes smoothly, he doesn't need to think too much. A few flaws in the plan and some other ideas from his pawns are all within tolerable limits. He is confident that his power is sufficient, and even if Hashirama is resurrected, he will definitely not be able to stop him.

To put it bluntly, if he hadn't been too old back then, he would never have initiated the backup plan for Obito, that good-for-nothing.

The original plan was that after his death, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu would cooperate with Obito to gather intelligence, revive him, and then quickly collect the Tailed Beasts to accomplish the goal in one fell swoop.

He never imagined that after all these years of dragging things out, he would play the game of weakening Konoha with the Nine-Tails' rampage and then launch the Blood Mist policy again to massacre Kirigakure.

With his power, once he is resurrected, he can easily sweep away anything. Even if the five great ninja villages were to unite, they would not be a match for him after he regained the Rinnegan.

His absolute confidence in his strength gave him the ability to ignore any variables in his plan.

However, Zhang Chengyi's appearance made him seriously consider his ninja instincts, and he discovered many problems.

Obito was stupid, but the key point is that he was a genius.

Is Black Zetsu still his loyal will?

Madara Uchiha's face remained expressionless, but doubts were already rising in his heart. For this lone wolf who didn't trust anyone at all, starting to doubt someone meant completely rejecting that person.

No matter who this person is, even if it is a creation of his will, he will still regard it as an 'untrustworthy' target.

"Splash!" He suddenly sensed a chakra fluctuation covering an extremely wide area and jumped out of the hot spring.

[It's Zhang Chengyi's chakra fluctuation]

Madara Uchiha's expression darkened. He, Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Minato Namikaze were all ninjas with extremely strong sensory abilities. They could sense each other's chakra from the mountain graveyard in the far north of the ninja continent to Konoha Village in the south. They could even detect a single chakra from many others. This range of perception could almost cover most of the ninja world.

But at this moment, all he could perceive was Zhang Chengyi's chakra.

He didn't have time to put on his clothes and armor properly, so he jumped over the wall in his yukata and climbed over to the hot spring pool next door.
