I am Jinshan Youxia

Having possessed the Three-Tails for so many years, how could Kirigakure not have tried to divide and seal the Tailed Beast's chakra? Even if there wasn't much, no one could use it, but there must have been. He came over and, at the cost of making a wish, easily revived the Three-Tails within his body.

All that's left is the Nine-Tails.

Formal negotiations with Konoha Village will begin tomorrow, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be able to obtain the Nine-Tails.

Madara Uchiha stood silently to the side, pondering for a long while, before speaking in a calm and unhurried voice:

"Let's revive the Ten-Tails."

Chapter 499 'Continue'

The next day, in the real world, in Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office.

"Oh, everyone's here."

As soon as Zhang Chengyi entered, he found that all the familiar faces were there.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat in the corner, Hashirama Senju sat behind the Hokage's desk, and Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha sat on either side of the sofa.

They got along very peacefully, and even the most easily agitated Obito Uchiha remained quiet.

"Looks like you all had it all planned out before I came?"

Zhang Chengyi asked casually before saying, "So, shall we begin now?"

Hashirama Senju spoke with a serious expression: "If we are to revive the Ten-Tails, Obito and I—"

"Alright, alright," Zhang Chengyi interrupted Hashirama Senju. "Once you've made your decision, you don't need to worry about me. Let as many people come to watch as you like. What about Kurama?"

These words immediately highlight a sense of arrogance and recklessness.

But no one could say anything. Despite having many tailed beasts and the strongest tailed beasts in Konoha, Madara Uchiha was the one who actually held the dominant position.

If he hadn't discovered, during the resurrection of Minato Namikaze in the virtual world, that the Fourth Hokage had somehow sent the half of the Nine-Tails sealed in his soul to some unknown place, he wouldn't have needed to care about Konoha Village at all.

However, the fact that someone could temporarily detach and send away the Nine-Tailed Fox before entering the illusory world in their soul state, and that he couldn't find it, is also a skill, and he is willing to give a little preferential treatment for this skill.

Hashirama Senju said as if reciting lines: "You must first revive Minato and his wife."

"Snap!" Zhang Chengyi snapped his fingers. "As you wish."

The next second, the chakra of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki appeared on the Hokage Rock.

Time in the virtual world is just a toy; no matter how many people are resurrected, it's all just a fleeting moment.

"Click!" Just a few seconds later, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki jumped in through the window.

"Lord Hashirama!" x2

Hashirama Senju glanced at his close friend Madara Uchiha, then stared intently at Zhang Chengyi, whose motives were unclear but who was determined to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan, and said in a deep voice:

Let's go!

If it's something that both Uchiha Madara and Zhang Chengyi are determined to accomplish, then no one in this world can stop them.

Fortunately, the two of them were not of one mind. According to Obito, only one person could become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

At that time, when he was at his peak, together with Minato Namikaze and his wife, and the young version of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the four of them might not be able to defeat either Madara Uchiha or Zhang Chengyi, but they would have a great chance of sealing away the newly resurrected Ten-Tails.

Ultimately, however, it was a choice made out of necessity.

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

Ten minutes later, in the Land of Fire, on a vast, empty plain.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

The group landed one after the other. Minato Namikaze, who arrived second, glanced at his wife, took a few steps forward, and pressed his hand to the ground.

Countless black tadpole-like characters appeared, and after a burst of smoke, the enormous Nine-Tailed Fox appeared. It opened its blood-red maw and was about to attack Minato Namikaze, who had sealed it twice, when it saw a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, a pair of Rinnegan, and its living father, Hashirama Senju.

With just one glance, Madara Uchiha made Kurama obediently kneel down. He formed hand seals and summoned the Gedo Mazo.

Four of the eyes on it have already opened, proving that the remaining four tailed beasts in the ninja world have long been absorbed into the Gedo Mazo.

Still no one spoke. Zhang Chengyi reached out and patted his stomach. The tadpole-shaped seal flashed by. He quickly copied and strengthened all four tailed beasts inside his stomach and sent them out. The little creature's appearance remained inside his stomach.

As soon as the four tailed beasts appeared, they were entangled by chains spat out by the Gedo Mazo. Just as they were about to resist, they were controlled by the Rinnegan and turned into Muggles, obediently being sucked into the Gedo Mazo's body.

[The Last Nine-Tails!]

The same sentence appeared in the minds of both Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha.

Immediately afterwards, blood pooled and flowed in Obito Uchiha's pupils, triggering the transcription seal.

The four people from Konoha Village were also ready to take action.

Hashirama Senju prepares to stop Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, Minato Namikaze plans to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to try to delay Zhang Chengyi, and Hiruzen Sarutobi and Kushina Uzumaki are responsible for dealing with the Ten-Tails.

"Buzz!" As the Nine-Tails was dragged in, the ground began to tremble. It wasn't the Gedo Mazo or the Ten-Tails attacking; it was simply chakra leaking outwards.

Once the chakra reaction reached its critical point, all abnormalities ceased, and the Gedo Mazo rapidly expanded outward, transforming into a pitch-black sphere that continued to swell before quickly landing.

"boom!!!"

Smoke billowed and rocks flew everywhere. A one-eyed, ten-tailed monster, with most of its body above the smoke, opened its mouth and spewed out a chilling breath.

"Whoosh!" A gale swept through, and the aftershocks of chakra alone caused countless spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the earth. Ten tails slapped the ground in an intertwined manner, making strange rumbling noises.

The moment the Ten-Tails appeared, Madara Uchiha began to form hand seals.

"Whoosh!" x2

Hashirama Senju's main body charged towards Madara Uchiha, while his wood clone charged towards Obito Uchiha.

Minato Namikaze threw his specially made kunai, while Hiruzen Sarutobi leaped towards the Ten-Tails with his Adamantine Staff. Kushina Uzumaki, the main force in sealing the Ten-Tails, clasped her hands together, and the chakra chains on her back grew wildly.

Everyone was prepared to fight to determine who would own the Ten-Tails.

The next second—

"Crack~ Whoosh!" The whole world fell silent, leaving only the gravel rolling around on the plain, blown by the wind.

The densely packed Zhang Chengyis seemed to stretch endlessly, freezing everything in place with a simple 'Shadow Binding Technique'.

Whether it was the ninjas about to fight or the restless Ten-Tails, they all quieted down.

The fact that the illusory world can create bodies out of thin air for him means that Zhang Chengyi can have countless versions of himself at any time. Each body is real, possesses infinite chakra, and can resonate with other bodies, sharing chakra.

He can create an infinite number of versions of himself whenever he wants, possessing an unlimited limit to chakra release.

Zhang Chengyi, in his 'true form,' smiled as he looked at the group frozen in mid-air. His voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear:

"continue."

As soon as he finished speaking, the restraints on Madara Uchiha's body were released.

Everyone realized at that moment that Zhang Chengyi wanted someone to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki.

[This guy...] Any lingering hope or thoughts in Obito Uchiha's mind were instantly wiped away. He never expected Zhang Chengyi to be this strong, and the amount of chakra he released was terrifying beyond comprehension.

What ninjutsu? This is the simplest and most brutal form of power.

Why are Jinchūriki so powerful? Because Tailed Beasts have a lot of chakra. Why can the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki unleash Infinite Tsukuyomi? Because the Ten-Tails has even more chakra. Why can Zhang Chengyi create a permanent genjutsu space without relying on external objects and drag everyone inside...?

It's not some special technique or method at all.

In short, there's enough chakra.

Chapter 500 It's grown!

"..."

Madara Uchiha glanced at Zhang Chengyi and the others around him, each radiating powerful chakra, and finally abandoned his confidence to consider whether becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki was the right or wrong decision.

Based on Zhang Chengyi's demonstrated strength, let alone him, even if the entire ninja world joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for him.

In terms of data, the chakra difference between ordinary ninjas is 0-10. A difference of a fraction of a second or several times does not affect the outcome of the battle. Furthermore, due to physical limitations, the output of chakra is limited. No matter how much chakra one has, it cannot be released all at once. Therefore, ninjutsu, intellect, taijutsu, and ninja tools are all very important in battle.

There are many instances of the weak defeating the strong, but those with more chakra still have the upper hand.

Note that this "ordinary ninja" refers to ninjas below him and Hashirama Senju.

At their level, their chakra stats were around 100, making them almost evenly matched. During their final battle, he expended a large amount of chakra to control the Nine-Tails, while Hashirama also expended a large amount of chakra to create a wooden puppet. He then used a large amount of chakra to cloak the Nine-Tails in Susanoo and detonated the Tailed Beast Ball at close range, a feat known as the "Beast's Tribulation," which gave him the upper hand. Hashirama, on the other hand, also expended a large amount of chakra to use the Thousand Hands Transformation Buddha technique to destroy a portion of the Susanoo and subdue the Nine-Tails with ninjutsu.

After both sides unleash their ultimate moves, they will immediately engage in close-quarters combat. The reason is simple: they don't have enough chakra.

What separated life and death wasn't some grand ninjutsu or sage technique, but a wood clone—a testament to Hashirama Senju's determination to protect the village, even at the cost of his best friend.

Madara Uchiha was reluctant to say that having more chakra meant being powerful, otherwise the tailed beasts would be invincible.

But Zhang Chengyi had far too much chakra.

Even the Ten-Tails, which absorbed the energy of nine tailed beasts and continues to grow stronger by drawing on natural energy, appears to be the weaker party in terms of chakra compared to the boundless 'Zhang Chengyi's'.

Using natural energy combined with the Shadow Binding Technique, the Ten-Tails was frozen in place like a chick, unable to move. This kind of chakra...

To put it in perspective, it needs to be at least 100,000.

Madara Uchiha couldn't understand either the quantity or the upper limit of his output.

He simply couldn't be bothered to understand it anymore; after all, what other choice did he have at this moment?

Why do you have to go against Zhang Chengyi when you have nothing better to do? Why not go all the way down this path and see for yourself what's wrong with the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and the Eye of the Moon Plan?

"Shh!"

Madara Uchiha lunged forward, arriving beside Hashirama Senju in his Sage Mode. After absorbing a sufficient amount of Sage Chakra, the Hashirama cells transplanted into his body were quickly activated, unleashing an even more surging power. His Wood Release, which he had studied beforehand, could be released with a mere thought.

But he couldn't get any more excited. He glanced at the Ten-Tails with its blank expression, then formed hand seals and released six Ten-Tails Coffin Seals.

"Boom!!!"

The Ten-Tails began to tremble incessantly, driven by the seal to try to break free of its restraints and burrow into the Jinchuriki's body, but it couldn't move at all. Only when Zhang Chengyi relaxed a little did it transform into a ball and squeeze out along the gap in the restraints, flying into Uchiha Madara's body.

"clatter!"

As the Truth-Seeking Balls appeared one by one, Madara Uchiha completely changed his appearance. His exposed hands and feet were pitch black, and his white robe was covered with tomoe. His chakra swelled up once again, and then a crack appeared between his eyebrows.

Not only her appearance, but even her expression and temperament have undergone subtle changes.

【Ban Ta…】

Hashirama Senju, watching Madara Uchiha float up, was the first to sense something was wrong and had a vague feeling that something was amiss.
